[Poseidon carefully sweeps the sand away from around Megami, jolting inwardly when Megami mentions being able to sleep with him at a proper size.

C.......cuddling.......

He shakes his head a little to snap back out of it, resurfacing around the time Megami mentions if they should be wed.]

O-oh, I have no doubt you will be able to...especially now that you can.

[matteimasu]

[ Megami smiles and laughs softly ] Well with your confidence in me how can I not succeed? [ he rests his eyes for a moment ] What I was saying before though... I really mean that.

[karappo]

Yeah...?

[Poseidon rests his elbows in the sand again, holding Megami with one hand while the other props his own head up while he looks on at him fondly.]

That all makes me feel rather special, you know.

[matteimasu]

[ Not being able to do much else at present he wraps his tail loosely around Poseidon again, this time around his thumb. ] Well, as you should. You are quite special... remarkable even. Many gods have come here... but I truly have never met one like you. [ You've known him for like three days Megami but okay ]

[karappo]

[Well...at least we know where Choromatsu gets that from. Not that Poseidon is much better, utterly smitten with Megami the more time he spends with him.

But, that's what happens when you've been trying to find a companion for thousands of years. When you actually find them, you're not entirely sure what to do with yourself for a while afterward.]

Has it been very many? That must have been difficult...especially if you had to turn down their advances.

[matteimasu]

Mmhmm... both of your brothers, along with a handful of gods beneath them-- though come to think of it, I don't think I ever actually properly met Hades back when he was still trying... just found his presents. [ and those stopped after Hades just kidnapped himself a wife so maybe Megami should consider himself lucky ] I believe the appeal in me started when it got out that I was actually male... that my title of goddess was merely a misunderstanding. I suppose a man that could be mistaken for a women for so long AND managed to stay chaste piqued enough of their interest to come here and attempt to win me over. [ because Greeks were really fucking gay ] ...That and... uh... well... [ ...this other part's a bit embarrassing because Poseidon hasn't seen this part of him yet ]

[karappo]

[Yeah...yeah that does sound about right. But Megami faltering like that intrigues Poseidon in the worst of ways.]

Mmm...?

[He invites Megami to continue, curious.]

[matteimasu]

Uh... well I...

I have been known... to have a temper...and a way with words...

They see my... "feistiness" to be an attractive challenge...

[karappo]

Oooooh....I see...

[He chuckles deeply at that, using his thumb to pet Megami's tail.]

Is this something I will get to see, at some point?

[He's teasing, but...also curious.]

[matteimasu]

If you piss me off maybe. [ said a little TOO cheery even in spite of his ungodly language ] ...Though it's more likely someone else anger me in your presence than you will. [ don't talk shit about his husband, he'll fuck you up o`_o ]

[karappo]

Language!

[...]

Er- sorry. That is a force of habit...for our children, you know.

[Except he's never heard them use hard curses in his presence, and if they want to continue living he never will.]

...that is actually very flattering, though...

1/2

[matteimasu]

[ Will it still be flattering when you see your sweet goddess going off on some poor stupid fuck He smiles and laughs a little though. Note to self: remember to watch your language around children ] Regardless though most gods backed off after being told no or once they got the hint it was never going to be, so it wasn't too much trouble. Just... very annoying.

[matteimasu]

[ and then his expression falls ] ...The only one who never took no for an answer was... Adranus...

[karappo]

[...MAYBE...

But also......jiiiiii.]

...Adranus?

[He repeats the name carefully with as much curious indifference as he can, though there's a definite hard edge to his tone. Especially since Megami mentioned that he never took no for an answer.

[matteimasu]

Yes... ...He is the fire god that... the volcano... [ saying it again is difficult but he likely doesn't have to say more than that ]

[karappo]

[Oh.

He was afraid Megami might say that.]

...I see.

Have...you heard from him since then?

[matteimasu]

[ He shakes his head ] He came once after it all happened, but has not since. ...He said he would come back... once I had "learned my lesson" and was ready to give in to him.

[karappo]

[Poseidon is silent for a moment after he says that, the fins on the sides of his head flaring in silent anger.]

He can try. He has an entire sea to get through if he wants to come near you again.

[matteimasu]

[ His tail tightens, and his buries his face in Poseidon's palm to try and stop himself from becoming emotional again. Someone actually promising to protect him... His voice is shaky ] Th... Thank you...

[karappo]

[Poseidon is kept from becoming the same by just...seething anger that he has to keep bottled up, not wanting to upset Megami by being too Visibly Angry.]

Of course. No means no. Even if we were not close, I would not stand for that kind of behavior.

[Poseidon could be considered a bit of an odd duck in that sense. None of his brothers had ever treated relationships as anything lasting or bonding like Poseidon. They didn't have too many problems with sleeping around as often as it struck their fancy, though at least they were relatively decent most of the time.

The sea king huffs, slowly shifting to lay down on his side in the sand. He keeps Megami in his hand, but instead rests the back of it against the ground so he can give his forearms a break.]

I understand that you can stand up for yourself, if he ever approached you again on your own...but I still implore you to be careful.

[matteimasu]

I... I will. Believe me, I will...

I've... stood up to him in the past... and it never worked. If anything it just spurred him on more... he is one of the ones I mentioned that viewed my "feistiness" as attractive. Always said that he wanted me because I was a water god with "fire in my eyes"...

[ he curls up then, holding his arms with his hands. it's... not great to think about ]

So I... I will be careful...

[karappo]

That is all I could ask for.

[This volcano god better be glad that Poseidon has never met him. He is certain they would not have gotten along...for more than one reason.]

Do not let that sort of talk deter you. It is your "feistiness" that has protected you up until now...I have my doubts that he would have hesitated to claim you for his own had you shown him any lack of defiance.

But at the same time, he sees it as a challenge... [He growls.] Perhaps by the time he dares to return, he will have found that you are already long since taken. ...perhaps that you are no longer even here to come to.

[matteimasu]

I... I hope so. Truthfully, nothing would be better than if I never have to see him again. He is... an infuriating person, and for the obvious reasons I detest him wholly. ...It has been a while though. Perhaps he has moved on or forgotten. [ god he can only hope ] But most of all in general I would just like to be with you sooner rather than later...

[karappo]

[Poseidon can't help but hope the same. Maybe he got bored and really did find himself another flame to chase...one a lot more easily persuaded, perhaps.

That gets a smile out of him, amused and a bit sad seeing how things are at the moment.]

Do not worry. I am still working on figuring something out...I just want to ensure that whatever my attempt at a solution is, it keeps you from getting hurt.

[matteimasu]

And I appreciate that. [ he smiles again, reaching out for the closest finger his hand can rest on ] I've been here for so long... as much as I want to be with you now, I can wait a little longer.
