Characters: Apollo, Ganymede, Hades, and Zeus
Location: The prince(ss)'s apartment
Rating: G-PG?
Time: November 18th 12:39 a.m. and onwards
Description: They're all exhausted from the attack so they decide to crash at the nearest, familiar place. Sucks to have the lowest room, princess!




[He didn't check to see if Hades was still on the bed as he had left him. In fact, he didn't want to see Hades at all for the next few days. It was frustrating that avoiding him was much more difficult with these limits.

Apollo drags his inconveniently heavy body out of the clinic and into the cold night after a couple more hours of rest on a bed he had found. His clothes had hardly been appropriate for the weather as they were but with the rips and such, they expose more of him to the chill. Gritting his teeth, he persistently takes the steps down the path that would lead him to (a snort) his place. There is more rubble that litter the streets than he thought, and he stumble once, twice (and then he stops counting) as he makes his way back. It's dark.

Eventually, he arrives at the broken down complex, and the prospect of climbing stairs to reach his floor annoys him. And then he remembers. Ganymede.

So he finds himself at the prince's door, smiling when it opens. How careless.

He slips in quietly, not even bothering to shut it behind him and he heads straight for the lump on the bed against the far wall. The god takes a moment to observe: blond hair messily spilled across the sheets, the slow rise and fall of the chest, and quiet, even breathing. The prince looked peaceful and relaxed, without the usual frown or wariness on his face.

He jumps onto the bed.]

[ the irritation is obvious in his voice. ]

I meant to you.
You partnered I take it?

[ he looks over his shoulder then, curiosity piqued. ]

Is that what you're sulking about?

[ ganymede's hands shift, palms pressing flat to the countertop just long enough to lift his weight onto them. sit resolutely in a different room. despite the centuries he's had, the prince hardly considers himself an expert on apollo's mercurial moods. his words begin as a sigh regardless. ]

I suppose it's only a matter of time.

The rules here are different.

[their conversation has since drawn Zeus back, though he hasn't moved from his place against the window sill, gazing mutely toward the two of them. to the king, reading them was simple enough- but of all of them, he couldn't tell who's changes were the most intriguing.

the fact that he, himself, may be rotting was neither a question nor concern. the rules were different, but not different at all.]

[ as always, it doesn't take much to draw ganymede's attention, and even less to invest him in discussion ]

But we're plenty of things we weren't before.

That wasn't even inventive.

[ urge to kill rising ]

I thought the stories said I was a baby.

[ very. very. resolutely. not. looking. at. zeus. ]

Stop sounding like you enjoy it so much.

[it's always entertaining to be spoken of as though he is not present. Zeus has found the most interesting conversations happen that way.

as Apollo gestures to him, the god has moved only marginally, fingers drawn along one long white feather as though it may still have some discrepancies in it.

it is interesting, after all, to see the mirrored reactions of embarrassment between god and mortal. Zeus can recall a time when Apollo looked just as perturbed over the idea of something so simple as a kiss.]

Aren't you tired of pestering me? [ predictably, ganymede bristles, because there are some buttons that will always be sensitive- and apollo- is irritatingly good at finding them. ] It's been long enough.

[who would know the sun liked gossip so much.

Zeus, for his part, only responds with the faintest of enigmatic smiles and betrays nothing.]
