Apollo

It was sometime at midnight or maybe somewhere at 4-5 in the morning I don't know, Hyacinthus stirred in bed before awaken he opened one eye, still tired from sleep that lingers around. "Apollo, dear... You are going to miss sunrise." Apollo groaned and stir as he open his eyes and sighed. "Ah. I'll let Helios take care of it. The poor old titan is ALWAYS begging me to let him take the chariot out for a spin." Apollo murmred you chuckled at the sleepy sun god response. "Ha! Anything to avoid doing your work? You can stay in bed," the spartan prince paused before continuing. "But no matter what, I will need to be going." Apollo tiredly mumbled a "Nooo" while snuggling against you "Just a moment longer... The bed will go cold without you." Hyacinth shifted his position to look at Apollo. *"*And the world will go cold without the sun...." You countered back, but Apollo seems to have other plans. "People pray for a better tomorrow, that the sun might shine bright in their direaction. They can have tomorrow, just leave me be today..." Apollo sleepily grumbled as he was starting to already go back to sleep on your chest with his mouth slightly opened you always loved these banters between you and your godly lover but you weren't gonna let him miss the sunrise. "Dont get all phylosophical on me. Today happens to be very busy for you, It's the first day of Spring." Hyacinthus yawned as he sat up and stretched his arms. "Alright up and at em bedhead. I'll brush your hair before I go." Apollo groaned and wrapped his hands around your waist. "Just stay here, I'll race the chariot across the sky. I'm becoming quite good at shortening the daylight, I doubt anyone has noticed." Apollo said as he too sat up looking a little smug as he looked at the spartan price who scoffed playfully. "So that's why the west winds have been complaining to me." you chuckled at the memories of the west winds complaining to you about the day being short and some shit. "Spring days must be longer, love..." Apollo looked at you with a hint of desire in his eyes. "Our time in bed must be longer, Hyacinthus!" Apollo hands still rested at Hyacinth's hips as he pulled him back down to the bed. "Five more minutes won't hurt anyone~" He said while nibbling on Hyacinthus' ear who moaned in pleasure. "Apollo~! oh gods~" Sometime later that wasn't 5 minutes, Apollo was hold the spartan prince's hand while laughing. "Ha Ha...!" He opened one of his eyes and immediately opened the other, a look of pure terror on his face. "Hya...cin....thus...." Apollo muttered looking at your bleeding head and lifeless eyes his eyes widen in shock as he woked up, you weren't there, you were dead Apollo knew that. "Five... More.... Minutes..." Tears started to stream down Apollo's face unstoppable. "I don't need tomorrow to come, I just want another five minutes......with you" As Apollo continues to cry consumed by trama and unfinished grief, Apollo attempts to be with Hyacinthus again. "Just go back to sleep damnit, If I just...never wake up....then we can FINALLY be together again. Just close your eyes...and hold your breath." Apollo said to himself as his hand moved to his mouth, tears were still flowing down his face when something called out to him. "WAKE UP SUNSHINE!" Apollo opened his eyes and took his hand off his mouth tears still streaming down his face. "Who's there?" Apollo called out to the darkness. "What do you hear? What do you see? I am the whispers of what never will be..." Apollo looked at these two white eyes in the darkness. "Please stop this" He begged but the voice continued. "The nights grow longer, As the daylight retreats evermore" the being picked up a vase "Run away little Sunshine" The being threw the vase at Apollo. "There will never be a first day of Spring... And the world will go cold without you...!" Apollo grabbed his bow and a sun arrow appeared in his hand. "Enough...! Get out...! I won't play anymore games...! Artemis...!" Apollo shoot the arrow at the vase mid air. "Anymore of that awful poetry and I'll loose an arrow right between your eyes." Artemis laughed, still teasing Apollo. "Woah, there he is! I thought all the snobby art crap rounded out most of your edges. Think you can really hit me?" Apollo huffed. "You care to find out?" Artemis laughed again. "I'm up for a little midnight target practice. we can cut loose a bit before the first day of Spring tomorrow." Artemis stepped out of the blanket thing she was hiding behind from she had tree shoes? or legs what the fuck is that on her lower legs? "You doing okay there, bro...? You don't look so hot...? She said with slight concern Apollo looked at her footwear and snorted. "...And I made fun of Hermes' choice in foot wear. Looks like I own him an apology. Did you take fashion advice from a tree? I know they have limbs but that barely constitutes the ability to wear clothes." Artemis lifted up her deer skeleton mask thing from her face. "An awful lot of snark coming from someone who looks like garbage. Pretty convicing deflection. But I'm your twin. So tell me what's really wrong..." Apollo fought back tears that were threatening to spill. "I saw him again" Artemis immediately knew who he was talking about. "Oh... are you okay?" she said as she and Apollo fist bumped. "I have to be...don't I?" Apollo whimpered at the last part of that question then looked the his left and saw you? no no you were dead you were just an halluctionation Artemis looked where he was looking. "Apollo, he's not there, you halluctionating." Apollo's eyes watered up again. "but I see him, he's over there!" Artemis sighed. "Apollo he's not there okay?" Apollo looked at you, the grief must've made his halluctionation happen. "Hyacinth?" he called out to you.
