Look at my name. DOES IT SAY RICK RIORDAN?! I don't own any of this since my name isn't Rick Riordan. All right, my ideas are definitely getting weirder... Enjoy!
" Are you sure this isn't going to get us killed?" A frightened Apollo said, holding Athena in his arms. She was fast asleep; you could hear her exhale and inhale. Her soft breathing was the only movement she made, the rest of her body was completely frozen and she lay comfortably in Apollo's arms. Dressed in a short, black nightgown.
She stirred in her sleep and Apollo froze, his eyes widening. " Mmm yes" she mumbled and continued sleeping. Apollo relaxed slightly, but looked down at the unconscious wisdom goddess in his arms with a mix of fear and absolute terror. The same sort of look someone's worst nightmare would receive.
Hermes sighed. He was dragging a unconscious Poseidon along. You could hear Poseidon snore very softly and mumble something about pie. He was dressed in pants only, leaving his chest bare.
" Apollo. We are immortal! We can not die. Even Athena wouldn't be able to kill us" Hermes said slowly, in the same tone someone would speak to a toddler.
Apollo looked at Athena, who lay her head on his shoulder and sighed softly in her sleep, and swallowed nervously. Despite the fact she looked calm and peaceful now, Apollo was really scared. She could be very intimidating and ominous after all. " Yeah. It's just, she is the goddess of wisdom. She could do some pretty nasty things to us. Besides, she is Arty's best friend. What if Arty will get mad at me for doing something like this to her friend"?
" Artemis is practically always mad at you. Why do you suddenly care?".
Apollo shrugged. " Don't know actually. Maybe if I write a haiku about this, it-".
" No haiku's! Let's just do it". Apollo lay Athena down on a big double bed with curtains and a lot of pillows. The entire room had the appearance and ethos of a fiarytale. The bed was a bright shade of red, with curtains of silk and little pillows on it.
Next to the bed were two drawers, with books in some foreign language and a small lamp that looked like an exact replica of the lamp from Aladdin. There was one mirror, in the form of a laughing face. Before the bed, there was a large carpet that seemed to be an exact replica of the fleeing carpet in Aladdin. The walls were red and the ceiling held beautiful paintings, all of mythological creatures.
The surprising thing was, Apollo, Hermes and the two sleeping beauty's were in Athena's room. You would expect a room like that to belong to Aphrodite rather than Athena, but it really was Athena's room. Apparently, the goddess of wisdom had another side nobody knew off. A side that liked rooms that resembled fairy tales.
Hermes looked around him and shook his head. He wore an expression of disbelief. " Would you have expected Athena had a room like this? It reminds me of some fairytale".
Apollo shrugged. " I suppose so. Definetely not something that you would expect from our know-it-all. He! I feel a haiku coming up!".
Hermes groaned and covered his ears. No matter how much he liked Apollo, and they were best friends so he liked him a lot, he hated his haiku's. They were horrible.
" I am so awesome. Athena is a know-it-all. This will be funny" Apollo said, grinning like a madman.
Hermes shivered. It seemed like Apollo's haiku's were getting worse, if possible. He hadn't believed it would be possible, but Apollo's haiku's gave him even bigger headaches than they had at the beginning.
Apollo grinned at Hermes, looking very satisfied with himself and no longer frightened. Hermes sighed. " Wow Apollo. Just wow. Can we now continue our prank?".
Apollo shrugged. " Sure. Let's do this!".
He looked towards the sleeping Athena. He could have sworn her eyes were slightly open. Which would be bad new for him and Hermes. She would kill them if she opened her eyes and discovered they were in her bedroom. " Ehhm Hermes, are you sure our smartypants is sleeping?".
Hermes sighed. " Yes Apollo. I asked Hecate to make a sleeping potion and it will work for at least eight more hours. But we have to do it now".
" Yeah all right, but- but what if Athena saw you breaking in and putting that potion in her drink? She could be pretending to be asleep so she can suddenly open her eyes and attack us". Apollo was really nervous about that. It would be exactly like Athena to do something like that.
" She won't. Trust me. Now do you have the handcufs?".
Apollo nodded and took a pair of pink handcuffs from his pocket. " Yep. The strongest handcuffs ever. I tricked Hepheastus into making them. No matter what our love birds try, they won't be able to free themselves. Only we can".
Hermes grinned. "Awesome. This is going to be the best prank ever. What did you tell Hepheastus anyway?".
Apollo smirked. " I told him he would be able to cast it all on Olympus tv, which would be very good for the popularity. And Aphrodite helped me convince him. She thinks this is the opportunity to make Pothena happen. Whatever that is".
" Athena and Poseidon".
" What about them?".
" No, I mean that Pothena is a pairing. It's Poseidon and Athena".
" Oh. I can make a wonderul haiku about that!".Apollo already cleared his throat, prepared to make another haiku.
Hermes ran towards his friend. "No! No more haiku's! Let's just do this and disappear". He would freak out if he had to hear one more haiku. They were the most horrible poems ever. Especially if Apollo had made them.
Apollo pouted, but didn't say anything. He just helped Hermes and kept his mouth shut. Luckily.
They lay Athena and Poseidon next to each other in the double bed and handcuffed them. They had already hid the keys on a place where only Hermes could reach them. The last step of their brilliant plan, was to hidden the camera and turn it on. They positioned in a way even Athena wouldn't notice it, but it would be able to record both the unconscious gods.
Hermes looked down at the sleeping gods, both in their pyamas and smirked. He rubbed his hands. " You know, I just got another brilliant idea. We should remove their clothes. Imagine how freaked out they will be if they awake together in bed, naked and with no memories of the past hours?".
Apollo frowned. " I don't know. I'm pretty sure Athena will send us for Tartarus for that".
Hermes shrugged. "She will anyway".He didn't seem really concerned about that. Or maybe he just didn't show it. While Apollo was concerned, all right frightened, and did show it.
Apollo looked at the sleeping gods. He wasn't sure it would be a good idea to go that far. The last time he had pranked Athena, she had paid him back by turning him into a girl and forcing him to dance ballet. She had recorded it and showed it to all the gods. Apollo wasn't sure he could survive another humiliation like that. And that time, he had only put a spider in her clothes. Who knew what she might do to himif he did something big like this. Handcuffing her and Poseidon would already be a cause for a very heavy punishment. Also taking of her clothes would probably leave him in some place worse than Tartarus.
" Nah. Let's not. That might be too much".
Hermes sighed. " Maybe you are right. Although I don't think this is embarressing enough for them".
He frowned and then suddenly started to smirk evilly. He walked towards Poseidon and Athena and removed Athena's night gown and Poseidon's pants, leaving both of them in their underwear. Apollo and Hermes both snickered. Athena and Poseidon were in for a surprise when they woke up.
When they were finished, they quickly left the building, snickering. That would be so much fun tomorrow. Too bad they couldn't stay in the room and witness it.
Athena groaned in her sleep and turned. She met something warm, salty and solid. Still groggy, she put her arms around it and cuddled it. It just felt like the right thing to do.
The thing immediately responed, a pair of arms grabbing her hips and pulled her against the thing.
Athena gasped and opened her eyes, meeting a pair of sea green ones. She froze, quickly analyzing the situation. She was in her own house, in her bedroom, but something was very, very wrong. For some unknown and undoubtly peculiar reason, Poseidon was in her bed.
And what was even more abherrant, was the fact that she was actually hugging him. She could feel every inch of his body, from his shoulders, to his muscular chest, to something very big pressing against her thigh.
Her eyes widening, she suddenly reacted and jumped out of bed. Or tried to, because something heavy stopped her and she tripped. She fell on the floor and Poseidon landed on her, leaving her breathless and slightly hurt.
Poseidon pushed himself up and looked down at her, his expression equally shocked and confused. " Owl head. What am I doing in your bed?".
Athena gave him a look of contempt. " I am completely clueless for once, you pervert!".
Poseidon snorted. " What have I done to make me a pervert?".
" Well, for one , you were positioned in my bed, in my chamber without my permission. And the second reason is your current state " Athena hissed.
Poseidon frowned, looking more confused than ever. " My current state? What on earth do you-". He smiled when he realized what she meant and bent down until his face was inches from hers and she felt his warm, slightly moist breath on her lips. " Don't flatter yourself feather brain. You have nothing to do with that. It is just the morning, that's all. And you , knowing all about biology and thus anatomy, know what I mean with that".
Athena, despite her efforts of avoiding it, blushed a deep red. " Of course I know. But that doesn't mean it is justified in any way".
Poseidon raised his eyebrows. " Sorry miss adriot, but I have no control about that and-". Poseidon suddenly stopped speaking, his eyes widening slightly and glazing over.
Athena stared at him, perplexed by the weird expression on his face. She followed his gaze and gasped when she realized why he was wearing such a peculiar expression. He was looking at her breasts, which were only shielded from his vision by a very tiny black bra made of lace. His hungry expression made Athena shiver.
He pushed himself up a little more, his eyes traveling down her body to look at the matching black throng she was wearing. Athena swallowed when she saw the look in his green eyes. They seemed to darken and for once didn't hold contempt, hate or annoyance. Now, they held something Athena believed was lust. Primal, overwhelming lust.
She tried to push Poseidon of her, but he grabbed her wrists and pinned them to the ground. Athena started breathing faster, not convinced it was from solemn panic or something else too. She was painfully aware of the situation they were in; she on the floor, he on top of her, between her spread legs with both of them only wearing underwear. Not to mention the thing that still pressed against her thigh.
She swallowed. " What on earth do you contemplate your are doing, you gullible, feckless kelp head? Let me go this instant!" she ordered, her voice icily but also slightly quivering.
Poseidon didn't seem to hear her and bent forward. No doubt to kiss her. Athena couldn't allow that to happen. She was a virgin goddess! And the wisdom goddess, she wouldn't join in behavior like this.
Athena rolled until she lay next to him instead of under him and tried to crawl away, but he pulled her back. Athena panicked and tried to kick or hit him, but he grabbed her wrists again. " Calm down, all right. I'm not going to- fuck!". Poseidon swore when Athena somehow managed to kick him and let her go.
She immediately tried to stand up, but tripped and fell on him. Those handcuffs wouldn't break. No matter how hard she pulled. He grunted. " That hurt!".
Athena pushed herself up and saw his eyes widen. She immediately realized what kind of 'scenery' he had when she did that and lay down again. She didn't want him to be able to see that part of her body. It was embarressing. And dangerous.
She was breathing fast, both from panic and something else she didn't want to name and tried to calm down a little. She needed a completely clear mind for this. She need to come up with a plan, a plan to escape this situation.
She listened to his heart beat, which was very fast. She slowly inhaled and exhaled and secretely enjoyed his salty scent. She would never admit it, but she really liked his scent. It was very manly and attractive, perfect for him.
" I told you you were a pervert" she said.
Poseidon chuckled. " Maybe. But I'm surprised at your choice for underwear Athena".
Athena blushed, but he couldn't see that. " Who says it was my choice? It wasn't my choice to end in bed with you either".
Poseidon chuckled. " Bad choice of words. But no you have mentioned it, why exactly are we in this situation?".
" If you are refering to the fact that we are handcuffed and both underdressed, I assume it is another prank from Hermes and Apollo. Who will both pay gravely for this humiliation. If you are refering to the fact that we are on the floor, I tried to jump away from you, but you fell on me". Poseidon smiled.
" Thank you, my encyclopedy. Any ideas on how we are going to break these things?".
Athena sighed. " We will require the keys, so we need to lure Apollo and Hermes over here".
" Hmm. And how exactly are we going to?".
" Just say please" some voice said. It was Apollo, who was standing in the doorway and looked down at them, smiling. He obviously lovedthe postion they were in.
Athena lifted herself, looking at the two grinning males standing in the doorway. She growled. " Apollo. Hermes. Release us this instant".
Apollo shook his head. " No way sis, nice underwear by the way. This is way too much fun. Besides, there is a special enchantment on those handcuffs. They will only open after a week, even if you do use the key".
Athena narrowed her eyes. " I am not willing to spend a week in the company of a mental midget with the IQ of a fence post! Release me!".
Poseidon grumbled. " And I don't want to spend time with someone who believes reading books with thousand pages is fun. Let me go!".
Hermes chuckled. " Do you realize you two actually agree on something?".
" I am going to kill you!" Athena and Poseidon said at the same time. They were equally red, this time from anger rather than something else.
Apollo grinned. " They agreed again. The world must come to an end. I could make an excellent haiku about that!".
Hermes paled. " No! You shouldn't". He looked ready to start crying at the mention of haiku.
Apollo looked at him. " Of course , I should. Listen to this".
He cleared his throat and raised his hands, like conductor in front of a choir. "They are on the ground. And actually agree. The world will end now". He stopped, grinning.
Athena made a strangled noice, not sure if she was about to laugh or cry. Poseidon on the other hand, grunted. " That was horrible. What did I do to deserve this? Not only am I handcuffed to the most annoying person ever, but I am also being forced to listen to the worst haiku ever".
Athena snorted. " You seemed to enjoy my presence greatly a few minutes ago. You perverted freak!".
Apollo grinned. " He did? Well uncle, that is interesting. Lusting for our dear Athena".
Athena glared at him. " The minute I am no longer captiviated, you will be sent to Tartarus" she hissed.
Poseidon frowned. " Why are we in our underwear anyway? I don't know, and don't need to, if Athena ever sleeps in her underwear, but I don't. I always wear pants".
Hermes smirked. " Just to make it even funnier. I wanted to undress you fully, but Apollo thought that went too far".
" Because it does! This is already preposterous! Release us Hermes" Athena protested. She really wanted to away from Poseidon, who was still obsessed with her bra, she was staring quite intensive at her breasts, which were still shielded partially by the tiny bra she was wearing. " And stop staring at me Poseidon!" she snapped.
He looked at her, actually having the decency to blush and look guilty. " Sorry. Why are you wearing anything that sexy anyway? Shouldn't you wear granny pants or anything?".
Athena sighed. " I honestly don't anticipate my chose of garments is of your concern Poseidon. So shut up".
" You know dear sis, you seem to have a lot of secrets. Fairytale bedroom, sexy underwear, your crush for our dear uncle.." Apollo remarked, smirking.
" I don't have a crush you idiot!".
Hermes shrugged. " Sure Athena. Now, if you will excuse us, we have other things to do. Enjoy your quality time together". and they walked away together, leaving two very confused and angry gods on the floor.
Athena grunted. " Oh great. We don't have the keys, are dressed in undergarments only and our company is each other".
" I really want to take a cold shower" Poseidon mumbled.
Athena gasped. " No way! We are still handcuffed Poseidon. To make it possible for you to take a shower, it would require me to remain in the same shower. Forget it!".
" Fine. I will forget my shower and instead spend my time with you on this cold floor".
They managed to get dressed ,more or less, and went to the kitchen. Apollo and Hermes had fled, which was wise since Poseidon had never seen Athena this angry before.
The next week was a long one. They had to do everything together. The showers , Poseidon had managed to convince Athena to shower- he had sworn he would keep his eyes closed, were really akward ( although both Athena and Poseidon secretlely enjoyed them), they always wanted to do different things ( Poseidon gaming and Athena reading) and they had to sleep very close together.
The weirdest thing though, was that at the end of the week, they were actually a lot friendlier to each other. poseidon only had one, very big problem. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get the picture of Athena in only underwear out of his mind.
And Athena wondered why she suddenly felt so devoid, like something was missing. But she pondered most about the fact that she couldn't bring herslef to wash her pillow, that still smelled like him. Salty. Good. Everything.
