Fortunately, she didn’t voice her thoughts for him to hear. Apollo would’ve argued aggressively that Artemis’ always helps. If that weren’t the case, she wouldn’t be the one he seeks out when the scaffolding around him seems to break. —

Still, a theatrical sigh of relief rolls over his tongue at her assurance. “ Good. Very good. I do think love looks much better on me. And——I’ll spare you the details. “

It’d be nice if it lasted, too. But that is an ancient curse he has almost come to accept. —

Turning the word ‘ distinct ‘ over on his tongue, he decides that he doesn’t like the sound. Doesn’t like the way it tastes or makes him feel.

artemis' eyes swept over her twin. unconsciously, she turned slightly within the chariot to face him more fully, resting her elbows against its edge.

Apollo is a willing captive to fingertips burrowing into the skin of his waist. Golde brows twitch, delighted, at the display of possessiveness in Eros’ touch.

Complementary? It’s such a simple word and yet it feels like a clean shot to millennia of quiet fears, a young god waiting for his divinity to undo the connection given to them by their mother.

Their lights too different, their domains placed too far from each other —

artemis would not judge him for it. from her perspective, the birds had borne no fault in what had happened. then again, she had lost her temper for far less and acted before thinking on more than one occasion.

“ . . . that’s not desperate, “ Apollo hums into a kiss granted despite the lacking use of a question. If he is honest to himself, he doesn’t like the idea of being denied Eros’ mouth. “ . . . that’s demanding. “

Longing for this winged divine being is a fierce, torturous thing. He has to tap into an odd near-masochistic place to find the right armour to both love and defend. After all, Eros is the only one who has ever managed to leave a lasting, —

Apollo waves her off. “ Collateral damage. “

Did the birds deserve to have their feathers charred and voices taken? Perhaps not, but Apollo’s temper was fragile at the best of times. Weave pain into the equation and he’s a victim to his own fury. —
