you lay in Heron's plush bed on Olympus, heron cuddled into your chest, looking at you lovingly, you laugh softly before asking him why he kept staring at you like that. "I'm simply trying to understand how I managed to find someone as perfect as you" he answers, giving you a warm smile. you blush a little, before running your hands through his fluffy brown hair, scratching his scalp a little making him hum in enjoyment. "how was your day?" you ask him, playing with a piece of his hair that stuck up from the rest, he groans in annoyance, laying his head back onto your chest. "Do you want to talk about it?" you ask in a whisper, gently lifting his face to look at you. "it's nothing, just.. everyone here sees me only as another one of Zeus's bastards," he says annoyed, his fists clenching into the blankets. you gently caress his face, watching as he melts into your touch. "i don't think of you as only a bastard. You're also kind, and strong and very handsome" you smile, he looks up at you with a soft look, before cupping one of the hands on his face with his own, placing a kiss on your wrist.
