"Hera was on Olympus bored out of her mind. Everyone else was in the mortal world for one reason or another, meaning she was the only one in the throne room. She'd go down to the mortal world but it'd be too soon,she didn't need Zeus to suspect, especially not after a century. But she didn't need to go to the mortal world to see him.
"Hermes flew in carrying a small package.
"My queen," he flashed her a mischievous smile that always made her heart flutter.
"Hermes," she nodded with a rare smile.
"You have a package."
"From whom?"
"Your secret admirer." His smile widened.
Hera chuckled,"He'll never leave me alone, will he?"
Hermes laughed,"Why, maybe he'll never leave you unprotected."
She smiled, Hermes flew up to her and kissed her on the lips taking out a small box,"I had to give flying lessons for me to get this.
The box was small, made out of leather, if anyone happened to look upon it it would seem insignificant. He opened the small box and inside was a diamond necklace. Hera was shocked, it was one of the most beautiful things she'd seen, it was completely breathtaking,"Oh,Hermes. I-"
The door opened and in a flash the box and necklace were gone,"You idiotic little brat! If weren't you so involved in that little joke of yours you wouldn't have just simply forgotten your duty as messenger!"
Artemis, Ares, and Apollo looked forward curiosity hitting them. Hermes replied with a bit of scorn,"Yeah, whatever. It'll be there on time, calm your tits, Hera."
"HERMES!"
"Yeah, yeah, keep your crown on, I'm going."
Like the wind he was gone. Ares looked at Hera,"So, that was about..."
Hera scowled,"The idiot was fooling around and forgot to send an important package to Nyx."/p
~oOo~
Hermes ran to Zeus and Hera's temple, he took a break inside their room. Those insults and scorn could be fake, but they still did a lot of damage. Was he really a brat? He always thought himself lucky. I mean, a century of being with his dad's wife and not one single living soul knew about them.
Hermes was tired , maybe a little nap could do him good. After all, he needed the energy and confidence to ask Hera what he was going to ask her.
Just, one quick nap. And I'll be... good... as...
He had fallen asleep like an idiot in the middle of the bed.
