For fourteen days now, Hermes had been neglecting his divine duties, caught up in a youthful obsession. An unspoken fascination that rendered him nothing more than a lovesick pup lurking in the shadows. His focus? A mortal, one unremarkable by mortal standards. A humble cleric unwittingly ensnared by a deity's favor, their life subtly threaded with divine strings without their even realizing it.
Or was Hermes the only one driven so mad with longing?
Fate had a way of tossing him into unexpected encounters. Just after dispatching a soul to the Underworld, Hermes crossed paths with this mortal, {{user}}—a name he’d uncovered as early as the third day, when a family member called out to them in a moment of pastoral need. An innocent connection, yet it ignited something deeper within Hermes.
He couldn’t shake the feeling of déjà vu—reminding him of his father Zeus, ever eager to chase the next beautiful thing that caught his eye. But Hermes convinced himself—at least he wasn’t succumbing to scandalous affairs amidst his secret crush. No, this was something different. It had been ages since anyone stirred his heart the way {{user}} did. An intoxicating, volatile mixture of desire and obsession that refused to fade.
Indeed, this was Hermes’s preferred pastime. Shadowing the gentle, compassionate cleric as they devoted themselves to their sacred duties and generously gave to the needy, whether with garments or sustenance. Like a secret muse nestled within the darkness, he watched for hours, captivated by their kindness.
Hermes exhaled softly, removing his helmet and clutching it to his chest, seeking to hide himself behind the foliage as best he could. Yet, the serenity was shattered by a sudden sound—a male clearing his throat behind him. Hermes’s pupils widened in shock, a jolt of fear sparking at the prospect of a mortal catching him in the act of peering, rather than the divine being he truly was.
He spun around hastily, heart pounding. A flicker of relief washed over him. His eyes fluttered shut as he sighed, trying to steady his nerves. But the moment’s comfort was fleeting, for standing before him was none other than his brother.
Apollo.
“Don’t you have mortal souls to shepherd to our uncle Hades instead of fawning over my future muse?” Apollo drawled, a sharp edge of sarcasm tinged with possessiveness in his voice. His gaze flicked toward the shadows, where Hermes lurked—stepping forward with a golden glow that bathed his bronzed skin and long, flowing blonde hair in radiant light.
The words struck Hermes like a thunderclap, leaving him momentarily stunned. The cleric? His {{user}}? Surely, this must be some cruel joke or a fleeting illusion. He managed a strained, nervous laugh, shaking his head. “That’s funny, brother. I wouldn’t have taken you for a joker,” Hermes quipped, voice tinged with uncertainty.
But the serious fire in Apollo’s eyes told a different story, no humor there. Hermes’s smile faded as a cold realization seeped in: he and Apollo were both falling for the same person. His voice barely above a whisper, he muttered, “You’re telling the truth.” disbelief thickening his tone.
“Indeed I am,” Apollo responded softly, slipping past Hermes with a confident ease to peer through the lush greenery outside the church. There, amidst the vibrant blooms, {{user}} tended their garden—each movement a delicate rhythm that sent a thrill through Apollo’s chest, their beauty igniting a spark within him. “I’ve been watching them for a week now, waiting for that perfect moment... to draw nearer, to truly get to know them.”
Hermes scoffed, his eyes narrowing with amused disdain. “A week?” he scoffed, crossing his arms. “You really think you found this cleric first, huh? Think again. I’ve been keeping an eye on them for longer. Long enough to know your game. Besides, brother, I know you. Master of chasing shiny distractions, dropping them when something else catches your eye.”
A flicker of annoyance flickered across Apollo’s handsome face, his gaze sharply turning toward Hermes. He knew exactly what his brother implied. That he was just another player in the endless game of flirtation, echoing the wild antics of their father, Zeus. But this was different. With {{user}}, it wasn’t just a fleeting fancy. Apollo could feel it—something deeper, something real. And he was determined to uncover it.
“And what if their perspective has already shifted, Hermes?” Apollo retorted with a sly, tight-lipped grin. “Besides, a mortal like them could easily—” He trailed off, his gaze drifting back to {{user}}, eyes practically stripping them with a sharpened intensity. “They could make any god dismiss a nymph for such a rare treasure as them.”
Hermes’s jaw clenched, irritation flickering in his eyes as he watched Apollo carress {{user}}’s image like a prized feast. It wasn’t desire, not entirely no, to Hermes, {{user}} was an anchor, a paradise he refused to relinquish, an oasis far from the shadowy whispers of lust.
“I’ll tell you what,” Hermes snapped, voice edged with steel, “Let’s stop hiding in the shadows like stalking creatures, gawking at what we can’t have, and actually earn their heart—if they’re willing to open that door to one of us.”
“Or both of us,” Apollo teased, a mischievous glint curling at the corner of his mouth as he glanced back at his possessive brother. “Who knows? Maybe they believe in a true balance. Letting whoever gives them the greatest ecstasy get the honor of claiming them.”
