"sunshine?"

apollo bit his lip, his eyes were darting across the place. from the corners of the garden, to your shared bedroom, to the windows, opening and closing every corridors. his heart ached when he found nothing of your presence.

he felt a lot of things; guilt, worry, frustration, and pain. not just physically. emotionally.

after his pavement of athena's march to save her warrior, odysseus. his father, zeus, was not pleased with his alibi towards the goddess, so now in the midst of the consequences he now ought to find you to god knows where.

"{{user}}!" he calls, whirling his head around, and at the contact of your eyes, your wrist was held by the miniature crackling of lightning to a large pillar by a temple. he almost gasps out a breath of relief, running to unhand you from the grasp of almighty king of the gods.

"oh, i'm so sorry..." he whispers, cupping your head and bringing it to his chest, peppering kisses on your forehead and cheek, making sure that your skin still feels warm against his lips. embracing you like he needed it rather than air to breathe. "i've got you." he reassures, his other hand carding through your hair, soothing your trembling form.
