This sucks. This really truly sucked, so. Much.
Honestly, you didn’t know what to think of anymore. Your relationship with Poseidon was just straight confusing. Were you together? Were you friends with benefits? You truly, truly, didn’t know.
He was an asshole. You knew that much. But…
…Was he worth giving your heart to?
You can not help but let out a loud sigh as you stared off into the darkness of the bedroom. Your head currently resting on Poseidon’s chest; your bodies entangled with each other after things had turned into so much more in your office. Both of you wearing nothing except a thin silk sheet covering you two. It was the dead of night but you couldn’t fall asleep even after your extracurricular activity.
Surprisingly, the sea tyrant was fast asleep. A blank stiff expression on his face even as he was swept off to dreamland. He really truly always wore an icy stone mask. 
“You are really bizarre…” You whisper to yourself in an extremely soft tone. Ever so carefully bringing a hand up to touch the perfect god’s cheek. It felt stone hard and cold yet also had a hint of softness, almost like marble, against your hand.
“...Poseidon…” You can’t help but whisper, taking in the god’s face, your stomach and heart in knots, “...Do you truly love me…?”
    You wait with a baited breath. For some odd reason expecting an answer in return but as the asleep god remained silent, you can’t help but feel bitter. Even though you knew, you knew, you wouldn’t get an answer in response.
    This Sucks.
    Your heart felt like it was drowning. Drowning in so much sorrow. You wanted to curl up in a ball and just hide. Hide from the world. 
    Poseidon…
    Oh, Poseidon…
    Do you love me…?
    Truly from the bottom of your heart? Or… is this another trick? One where you and Zeus want to drag me back into your plan.
    You didn’t know… You truly didn’t know.
    However, your brain couldn’t seem to accept that as it reels to life. Flickering through your memories as if searching for some sort of answer. Any answer.
–.--.--.--.--
    “What are you doing here?” You can’t help but ask, your words sluggish from slight exhaustion as you stared up at the sea god in front of you. What was he doing? He had no reason to be in your mansion right now. Honestly…, was he here just to bully the human?
    As if sensing your thoughts, you receive a harsh icy glare from Poseidon that causes you to stiffen up. Were you still on bad terms with him?
    Well…, now that you think about it... You probably damaged his pride when you offered to treat his wounds from that jellyfish attack. Probably… That was the last time you saw him if you remember correctly.
    “So…,” You mumble, kicking a foot anxiously against the marble tile as flooring you were under Poseidon’s harsh glare, “How’s the hand…?”
    Instantly, you felt how bloodthirsty his gaze got and you can’t help but freeze as Poseidon puts a hand on the wall next to your face. Wrong move. You made a very, terrible, horrible, wrong move.
    “Care to fucking repeat that?” Poseidon venomously spits out. Even though your eyes were still trained to the ground, you can feel his face get closer to yours. Shit, shit, shit. “Look at me, Coward.” 
    Instantly upon feeling the harsh breath of his words against your ear, you spin your head around. Coming face to face, nose to nose with the sea tyrant himself. 
    “Uh…” You choke up, your brain reeling with fear as you try to come up with an answer. Something, anything will work at this point. Anything to get this beast out of your face, “You…!”
“You are very handsome!” You shout out, the words spitting out before you can even stop it, “...Lord…Poseidon…”
As silence overtakes the corridor, your brain seems to jog back to life, all which you just said coming crashing on you. Your face felt like a hot chili pepper and you felt as if you wanted to disappear. Hell, you weren’t wrong. He was a good looking guy. He was a god for crying out loud. But, why, why!, did you have to tell Poseidon–the guy with the shitty personality–that. 
You can’t bring yourself to look at Poseidon’s face. Whether it be from embarrassment or shame you didn’t know. You honestly just want to crawl into a hole and hide.
“You…” You gulp as you hear a sigh escape the sea god, “...What in the world is mentally wrong with you.”
At that insult you can’t help but snap your head around to look at him, “Huh?” 
Poseidon surprisingly no longer wore an angry glare. Instead it was a blank expression, an…odd blank expression. While to you it looked no different, you couldn't help but feel as if something was off. Like some sort of gut feeling.
“Did you hit your head?” You can’t help but let out a small shriek as Poseidon suddenly grabs your head and man-handles it. Maneuvering it back and forth. “Human?”
“Hold–Hold up.” You screech as Poseidon suddenly grabs from under your armpits and lifts you up. Holy shiy. Your feet kick back and forth in fear as you are longer touching the ground. “Put me down!”
However, Poseidon seems to ignore you as he begins to walk even as you squirm in his grasps. All the while a scowl on his lips as he grumbles under his breath.
“...Idiot,” You can’t help but hear Poseidon murmur as you continue to try to break free, “Why are humans so fucking fragile…“
“I’m not injured!” You whine. Though you know it fell on deaf ears as Poseidon just continues on.
    –.--.--.--.--
“Just Listen–” You cut off Poseidon’s rebuttal once more as you shake your head. This guy just can’t take a hint. Though, then again, when has he ever.
“For the final time, I don’t need your help, Poseidon.” You sigh, angrily putting the stack of papers down on the desk. “I understand the basics in math and Pierre has already explained everything that I didn’t know before.”
As you gesture to the old butler, you can’t help but whince as Poseidon sends him a glare. Ouch. What’s got him in a sour mood. 
“You still need to be perfect in taking care of the household.” Poseidon snaps back at you, gesturing to the stacks of papers that you take care of daily, “This is from taking care of invites to orders for items and taking care of winter preparation.” 
“Alright, alright.” You grumble underneath your breath, unable to help yourself from rolling your eyes as Poseidon turns his back to you to go grab something. As he walks across the room, you can’t help but turn to Pierre. “What’s his deal?”
“Pardon?” Pierre questions, blinking many times as he stares at you. It is then that you realized you spoke in a modern human language that Pierre wasn’t used to. Quickly rewording, you watch as Pierre humms in consideration, “Well, Lord Poseidon… has…”
As Pierre trails off, he leans down to secretly whisper in your ear, “…insomnia.”
“He does?!” 
Pierre nods with a sigh, “Sadly, the young lord has never taken it up with a doctor so he has no methods of attempting of solving it.”
“Seriously?” You question, still whispering to Pierre, “Then what does he do when he can’t fall asleep?“
“Paperwork, mostly. Reading books…” As Pierre trails off listing some of the things, you can’t help but think back. So, that’s why he was reading that book in bed! You weren’t crazy to think about the fact that he reads in his leisure time. But, still what a pain. No wonder he’s so grumpy and prickly constantly. 
Suddenly a thought comes to mind, “Pierre?” 
“Yes, my lady?”
“Do we have any tea leaves?”
While it wasn’t exactly a medical solution, you did know from a couple of friends that certain tea leaves have certain sleep helping effects. Perhaps, it could work on a god like Poseidon? 
“Oh,” Pierre sighs as he shakes his head, “Saldy we do not as tea leaves can’t stay dry in this area.”
Wow you really didn’t think that question through. Of course, they don’t. I mean why would they, you lived in the fucking ocean for crying out loud. That was such a stupid question…
“What the fuck is wrong with you?” 
And, of course the devil himself had to speak up as well. Letting out a loud sigh, you turned to look at Poseidon who was glaring down at you. 
“I don’t know. What’s your problem?” You rebut, shaking your head. “I know you're running on a limited amount of sleep but do you have to be a douchebag about it?”
At that particular comment, Poseidon gives you a harsh glare as he slams the book he was holding down on your desk, “I suggest you watch your mouth.”
You really weren’t in the mood for this today.
“Then…” You let out another small sigh, “Why don’t we call it a day?”
“Huh?” 
With once again another sigh, you shake off Poseidon’s glare as you stand to your feet from your desk chair, “Both of us are tired and you most definitely need the rest.”
“A god doesn’t take breaks.” 
At that particular comment, you can’t help but feel your eyebrow twitch. A god does this, a god does that. What a load of horseshit. 
“Well,” You put a fake smile on your lips as you turn back to Poseidon. Marching straight up to the god, you looked him in the eyes, “This one does. So, I’ll see you tonight, sweetheart.”
As a sign of defiance, you stand on the tip of your toes and place a simple peck on the corner of his cheek. Making sure to get a slight stain of lipstick to linger. Once satisfied, you turn on your heel and make your way to the door.
“You can’t leave.” 
Instantly, you rebuttal Poseidon’s words as the god grabs your waist, “Of course, I can. Who is there to stop me?”
“Obviously I will.” 
“Then do it.” You respond simply, blinking up at the god, “Make me.”
“You—“ You look up at Poseidon with a small smirk. While he didn’t show it, you knew you had won. Hell, what was there to do. Usually the sea tyrant would either have someone begging on their knees or would just kill them. This was uncharted territory.
“Okay, My Wife.” You are shocked by Poseidon’s next words as you are suddenly swept off your feet and brought back to the desk. This time Poseidon sitting in the seat as you sat straddling his waist. Instantly, you try to squirm from his hold but with just a single arm wrapped around your waist, there was nowhere to go. Nowhere to break free from. 
“You suck so much, Poseidon.” You can’t help but grumble as you lean against your arranged husband’s shoulder. If you weren’t in such a pissed off state, you would have felt the slight vibration of Poseidon’s chuckling in his chest but sadly you weren’t paying attention. 
So you sat there for the next two hours as Poseidon went over the paperwork duties with you. All of which you already knew so it was very boring. 
Honestly, the only thing that made it worthwhile to be trapped in Poseidon’s arms is that he couldn’t stop you from playing with his hair (even though he kept on cursing you out for it). Which surprisingly at the end of the day… 
“…Poseidon?” You can’t help but whisper as you feel the weight of the man’s body lean against yours. As you look up from one of the braids you were doing in his blonde locks, you look to see his eyes suddenly snap open as he leans back upright. Did he…? No way he did. “…Did you just fall asleep?”
“No.” The sea god instantly responds but you can see that he was instantly lying by the way he rapidly blinks his eyes to get rid of the drowsiness taking over his body.
Idiot.
“Come on.” You whisper, tugging at the sea god’s shirt, “Let’s go to bed.” 
“We still have—“
Instantly, you cut Poseidon off, “Seriously, do you have to have a reason to go to bed? Like what? You seriously can’t go to bed because you are tired? Exhausted?”
As you huff and puff, you finally after all these hours force your way out of Poseidon’s grasps. 
“Human—“
The next words fly out of your mouth before you can even stop them, “I want you to fuck me.”
.
.
“What?” Poseidon responses after a couple moments of silence. Staring at you like you had finally lost your mind.
“I want you to fuck me.” You answer once again, no shame, only frustration on your face, “If we can’t go to bed because we are tired, then I want you to take me to bed and fuck my brains out.”
After a couple of moments, Poseidon lets out a sigh as he pinches the bridge of his nose, “Hum— (Y/n). We can’t just stop working because we want to have sex.”
“Okay. Then I want you to fuck a baby into me.” 
As you rebut once more, you walk back over and take a seat on the desk in front of Poseidon. Blocking him from continuing any work.
“(Y/n).” Poseidon warns, looking up at you with a glare. You were being awfully annoying right now, “I’m not knocking you up with my child.”
“I’ll ride you.”
“No.”
“Blow job?” 
“No.” 
“Pegg—“
“Absolutely not.”
Finally, Poseidon watches as you let out a sigh. Closing your eyes with frustration.
“Are you that desperate to stop doing work?” Poseidon can’t help but question as he leans back in his chair, taking in your tired self. 
“What? Can’t believe I’m just desperate for your dick?” You voice up with a chuckle, looking up with equally tired eyes into Poseidon’s.
“Oh, have I been starving you?” The sea god can’t help but respond with. A small tired smirk playing on his lips, “Apologies. I’ll make sure to fuck you at least once a week from now on to satisfy your cravings.”
“Oh shut up.” You scoff. Though you are unable to help yourself from getting off of the desk and back into the sea god’s grasp. While you hated to admit it, Poseidon was the only grounding you right now amidst the terrible migraine you were having.
“Let’s go to bed.” You murmur. Unable to fathom if you were this tired how the sea god felt. Based on the ever so slight dark bags underneath his eyes, he has likely been up for days. “Please?”
As you mumble out your plee, you can’t help but bring your head up to place a small kiss on Poseidon’s lips. 
You weren’t sure what was wrong with you but it felt right. Oh so right. Perhaps it was something wrong in your tired and frustrated mind but you didn’t bother to stop yourself. 
You didn’t even gasp nor flinch as Poseidon returned it. Not even as you gave one, two and finally a third tired kiss to his lips. 
“Hmm?” 
As Poseidon lets out a questioning hum, looking down at you with tired yet also playful eyes, you can’t help but shut him up with another kiss. This one having Poseidon sighing as he fell into your touch.
“Bed?” 
As you pressed another kiss to Poseidon’s lips, you knew you had won. 
“…fine.”
–.--.--.--.--
“Go mom!” You overhear Triton cheer from the shore, most likely to give you confidence but you honestly had no clue what you were doing. Hell, your legs felt like they were going to give away at any moment. After all, walking on water wasn’t a normal thing for humans. Though you guess it was natural for water gods and goddesses alike.
    “Quit buckling your knees, idiot.” You snap your head up to send Poseidon a glare as he stands alongside Triton on the shore, “You’ll fall face first if you continue.”
    “Easi–Easier said than done, ass–!” Suddenly, you find the heel of your shoes slipping and find yourself flying backwards. Shit, just what you needed today. Well, at least you didn't exactly prove Poseidon right, you are falling backwards not forwards.
    Just as you accept your fate, expecting to fall into the cold ocean water, a strong arm suddenly grabs you by your waist and stops you from falling in.
    “Idiot,” You gasp as you see Poseidon holding you, “I told you not to fall.”
    As the sea god brings you back to your feet, surprisingly giving you time to once again balance your feet, you can’t help but let out a small laugh, “As I said, easier said than done.”
    Poseidon scoffs at that comment but only shakes his head with a sigh instead of rebutting once more. 
    It was strange. Poseidon has been getting more quiet lately. Well, he has always been a man of few words but you've been receiving less glares and insults. You couldn’t help but wonder if something was wrong.
    “Are you alright?”
    Poseidon’s eyes trail down from the sky to look at you, “Huh?”
    “Are you alright?” You repeat, concern clear in your eyes as you gazed at the sea god, “Like is something on your mind?”
    Poseidon is once again silent as he returns his eyes back up the clouds. He seemed to be contemplating something. As he did so, your stomach couldn’t help but twist into knots. For some reason, Poseidon not being alright made you anxious. You couldn’t help but feel that way. It was strange… but, for once, you didn’t question it.
    Suddenly, a loud screech cuts you off and you find your head snapping back to the shore at Triton. There stood the young child holding up a ginormous sea turtle. Almost as if it was some sort of trophy or prize that he just won.
    “Mom look!”
    “T-Triton!” You yell, frantically gesturing at the boy, “You can’t suddenly pick up sea turtles!”
    However as you did so, you missed the fact Poseidon had begun to open his mouth. Wanting to tell you something but as he saw you busy with Triton, he closed it once again. A small sigh leaving his nose as he returns his gaze back up to the clouds.
–.--.--.--.--
    “(Y/n),” You are caught off guard as you suddenly hear the call of your name. Blinking once, twice and finally a third time, you realized Poseidon was awake. His crystal blue eyes looking into yours as he carefully reaches a hand to touch your cheek. As he does so, you feel a slight touch of wetness and realize you have been crying. “Are you in pain?”
    What? You scrunch your eyebrows in confusion. Why would you be in pain? 
    As you rack your brain for answers, you watch as Poseidon slightly lifts the covers to examine your body. What was he…? It is then that it suddenly hits you. Did he think he hurt you when he…?
    “No!” You frantically yell out, it coming out louder than expected causing Poseidon to freeze in his movements, “I’m alright… really. I’m not in any sort of pain.”
    “Then, Why are you crying?”
    As Poseidon caresses your cheek, you bring your eyes away from his, “Nothing.”
    “Nothing?” Poseidon questions in that usual exqustetery tone of his. Making you know he didn’t believe and that he wasn’t going to let it go, “You are upset. Why?”
“It's…” As you voice trails off, you bite your lip, “It's stupid.” 
“Hasn’t stopped you from voicing up in the past.”
“Hey.” At Poseidon’s comment, you can’t help but slap your hand against his chest with a pout. Though the sea god doesn’t even flinch, only rolling his eyes with a sigh. 
As silence overcomes you two, you find Poseidon still staring at you. This guy seriously won’t let it go. 
What a pain. 
 Anxiously biting your lip, you bring a hand up to weave through your hair. Damn it. After a couple of moments trying to muster up the courage, you finally find the words and open your mouth,
“I Love you.”
But, it wasn’t you who spoke. The question that was on your tongue was lost as you stared at the sea god with wide eyes. The three simple words he spoke resounding throughout your mind.

Tomorrow’s posting
hey guys, just a quick heads up. Chapter 22 is up and ready for tomorrow. I’ve just been having trouble with my wifi at my college (I’m honestly not sure if this is going to go through). So, I’ve been having trouble queuing the post like I usually do. so, tomorrow’s posting might not be at its usual time tomorrow. I’m going to try again in the morning but it might not work. But do not worry, I’ll definitely get it up sometime tomorrow. Even if it means driving off campus to see if I can post it.

It was colorful. A bloom of colors of all different types and shades. Ones that danced and reflected in the sky. They were of Jellyfish, starfish, coral and all things alike. They seemed to glow and blossom and dance with joy in the wind. 
A big contrast to the dreary events from yesterday. 
“Lady (y/n)?” A voice calls, and you bring yourself back to the situation at hand. A tea party. You were at a tea party entertaining some of the goddesses. Though none of them were ones you knew. Persephone, Hera and Aphrodite had their own around the courtyard but as all of you were higher level goddesses you had to have your own. Some sort of courtesy call for this specific day.
This festival was starting to be a huge pain in your ass. 
“What do you think of Aglaea’s boutique newest designs?” One of the goddesses pipes up.
“Aglaea’s?” You question, watching as all the goddesses nod like little puppies waiting for your command. You really hated that, “I honestly can’t say I’ve ever shopped there.” 
All of the goddesses looked appalled at you, “Really? Then where do you get all of your dresses?”
“I get them from Boutiques and shops in Atlantis.” 
“R-really?” A blue haired goddess asks, stunned, looking to her sister next to her in a confused exchange. As you watch the goddess’ murmur under their breath and look confused, you can’t help but catch one specific thing. 
“Is something wrong with the Aegean Sea?” You can’t help but pipe up. Watching as all the goddesses suddenly froze and looked fearfully around to each other. After a few more moments of silence, you can’t help but look to the goddesses next to you where you heard it come from, “You said something about it being dangerous and unwelcoming. Could you please expand on that?”
“Ah—A-ah.” All of sudden you are shocked as the goddess leaps from her chair and falls to her knees on the ground. You could see the tears pour down her face through her black wispy hair as she whimpered fearfully, “Ple—Please I beg of you to forgive me, my lady! I meant no insult! I- I would never disrespect you or Lord Poseidon. Please spare my life!”
Quickly, you snap out of stupidor and put your hands up to show you meant no harm, “Woah— No need to—”
However that does little as the other goddesses at your table soon fall to their knees as well, all of them begging for forgiveness. 
“Hey! Hey!” At your ungod-like language all of them suddenly stop their whimpering, “You really don’t have to— I don’t—“
Finally, you let out a large sigh and pinch the bridge of your nose. What a disaster you had gotten yourself into. 
“Eep—“ And it seemed as if the situation could only get worse as when you took your hand away from your face, you see Poseidon standing there with some of the goddesses' husbands. They were likely talking about business and chatting before but had stopped in their walking upon seeing the spectacle that was taking place.
You just sure hoped that the husbands wouldn’t get mad at you. Especially upon seeing their wives’ tear stained faces. Though you quickly realized that wouldn’t happen. 
“What a sorry excuse for a wife…”
“…Of course, she had to go mess things up for me…”
“…perhaps I should have chosen Vivian instead…”
You stood there frozen as you heard the nasty and berating words spilling out from the husbands’ mouths. It was disgusting. How could they refer to their wives… their lovers… like that…
It is then that you realize not all of the couples were wed out of love like Hades and Persephone. Much many of them were more like originally yours and Poseidon, a business deal.
How horrible…
“Please stand.” 
“P-pardon—?” One of the goddess’ whimpers out, confusion in her eyes as she looks up at you with her tear stained cheeks. 
An eerie similarity to how you were just yesterday. 
A loud gasp resounds amongst the crowd as you fall on your knees in front of one of the goddesses. Such an act that is unfitting for a goddess as high ranking as yourself even though you were a Demi-god. You should never, ever, get on your knees for anyone unless they were higher in rank than you. 
“M-My Lady—!” 
“Please get up.” You say once more, this time taking the goddess’ hands in yours. Silently you help the goddess to her feet and the rest soon followed. Confusion yet amazement all twinkling in their eyes, “All I wanted was a simple answer to my simple question. Nothing more, nothing less.”
“B-but it would insult you!”
“Then let it be.” You respond simply, watching as a look of shock fell amongst the girls, “I’m the one that asked for an answer did I not?”
“B-but—“ 
You cut off the goddesses’ babbling once more, “Come, let us sit down. Our tea time was disrupted, was it not? And…”
As you gesture the goddesses along to their seats, you turn around to the gods standing nearby. More specifically your husband.
“I thought you made it loud and clear that I couldn’t join you on your business talk.” You say, crossing your arms as you glare, “So, why are you spying on our tea time?”
As predicted Poseidon acted just like you expect him to, returning your glare with a crinkled up nose and a glare of his own, “Don’t put words in my mouth. I never said such a ridiculous thing as that. And I do not spy, we were simply passing through.” 
While you gulp under the sea god’s pointed glare, you continue, “Oh really? Then if you truly didn’t imply such a thing, would you like to take over my tea party duties so that I can talk business?”
“Huh?”
You can’t help but smirk a little as some of the goddesses begin to giggle under their breath. They seem to thoroughly enjoy the bickering you and Poseidon were doing. Though the gods seemed to be quite bitter about the fact you were making fun of their pride.
“We would never partake in such a thing as—“ However the god never got to finish his sentence as Poseidon cut him off.
“Shut up.”
Poor guy.
Though, that didn’t stop you from taking it to the next step. Confidentially you walked down the steps and up to one of the gods next to Poseidon and grabbed the stack of paperwork right out of his hands. 
“You Bit—“ Once again a single glare from Poseidon shuts the gods up. However, this time you received a glare as well.
“What are you doing?” Poseidon asks bitterly, though this time you came prepared. While you would later wrinkle your nose in distaste and embarrassment about what you are about to do, the act was all too worth it to pass up on the offer.
Standing on the tips of your toes, you grab Poseidon by his chin and plant a kiss on the corner of his lips. Effectively causing the god of the sea to freeze.
As you bring yourself back to the balls of your feet and pull away from Poseidon, you move the hand from his chin to his chest. Simply speaking a couple little words…
“Just taking some payback from yesterday.”
…before turning around, walking back to the table with the goddesses without a single glance back. Well…, almost. 
“Oh and also,” You turn your head around to glance back at Poseidon. Unable to help the corners of your lips from twitching when you see the red stain from your lipstick on the corner of his lips. “I still haven’t forgiven you yet, so… you are going to have to try a lot harder than what you are doing right now, hubby.”
Successfully, all of the goddesses fall into a fit of laughter and begin to shout some insults back at their husbands and the other gods. 
“…You sure you don’t want to join in on tea time, dear?”
“Go on! Scram!”
“Don’t think I won’t forget your comment either!”
You watch as all the gods begin to scurry along, their tails successfully tucked in between their legs, as they attempt to get away from their wives. Well, all except one. 
Poseidon.
“Well…?” You start, staring down at your husband from the gazebo you were sitting under, “Is something wrong, my love?” 
As the ladies begin to giggle, your eyes widen in shock as you see the corners of Poseidon’s lips twitched upward ever so slightly. Though it was only for a second, and it seemed only you had caught that. 
“No, nothing at all.” Poseidon says blankly, putting his gaze up to the sky as he turns around to follow where the other gods went, “I’ll see you later, wife.”
As Poseidon finally walks out of hearing distance, you are suddenly showered in praises from the other ladies. A totally different atmosphere taking place from the one that had happened before all this mess began. It was at that moment you knew that they respected you. Not out of fear or forcefulness but true respect. 
However, amongst these showers of praises, one single voice in the distance catches your ears.
“…Good job, human…”
And you can’t help but glance at the back of Poseidon’s head as he continues to walk away. Your heart skipping a beat or to that you can’t help but struggle to keep under control.
Damn it, Poseidon…
—.—.—.—.—
“Ah, Good evening, (y/n).” As you turn your head around from the window, you are shocked to see Zeus standing there. Well along with Poseidon and Hades but you had grown used to those two checking up on you ever so often. Especially Hades who would forcefully keep his brother away from you as much as he could. Often starting a bickering match between the two. 
Likely, based on the fact the underworld god looked annoyed and exhausted, he had grown tired of trying to keep the two away and decided to tag along to keep an eye on them instead. 
“Good evening, you three.” You say, placing the book on your lap away, “I sure hope the business meetings today weren’t too boring.” 
“Oh ho ho, they usually are but…,” Zeus chuckles, rubbing his beard with a cheerful look on his face, “that incident you caused early made just a little bit of spark into our usual debates.” 
Oh no. That didn’t sound good, “Oh really? How so?”
Before Zeus could speak, Hades cut him off, “Some of the gods started bad mouthing you and Poseidon decided to deal with all of them.” 
Of course, he did. You can’t help but send a curious look to Poseidon, “Deal with them?” 
“Oh ho ho. By that we mean that he began to pummel them.”  Zeus chimes in, looking rather pleased, “I couldn’t help but throw in a punch or two myself.” 
Of course, that’s what happened. No wonder Hades looked exhausted. 
Breaking out from your goddess mannerisms that had been drilled into you for the past weeks, you look flabbergasted at Poseidon, “Why the hell would you start something like that…”
Poseidon’s gaze instantly snaps to yours and he sends you a wicked glare, “I can do whatever I want.” 
Bastard… Unable to help yourself, especially as he had pissed you off, you pick up your book and chuck it at his head, “Of course, you can’t. Especially when you’re in charge of a full realm, Poseidon.”
As Poseidon catches your book with a singular hand, you can’t help but notice a vein pop out of the corner of his forehead. Uh oh.
“Poseidon…” Hades warns but that does little to stop his younger brother.
“Am I not allowed to defend my wife?” Poseidon questions, walking closer to you until he stood less than a foot in front of the sofa. Upon getting closer, you can see the light of the setting sun, coming from the windows behind you, now illuminating his face. The golden—almost red-like— rays bounce off his hair and features. Making his crystal blue eyes seem more icy than usual. 
“Oh, quit it with the wife talk.” You venomously spit back at him, growing sick and tired that Poseidon was using it over your head like this. As if you were something he owned. An object or pet. “Just quit starting fights over me like this. I can defend myself.”
Poseidon can’t help but scoff at your comment, “Sure, you can.”
“What the hell is that supposed to mean?” 
“Nothing.” Poseidon simply chimes, dropping the book back in your lap, “After all, it has nothing to do with me. It has to do with (y/n).” 
“You—“ You grit your teeth in annoyance but stop yourself once you realize that Hades and Zeus are still in the room. Watching yours and Poseidon’s childish argument on full display. 
Childish. This really was childish. 
“Fine.” You grumble, looking up at Poseidon with a sigh. It felt like acid was bleaching your throat from what you were just about to say, “I’m… sorry.”  
At that Poseidon seems to pause. Caught off guard that your usually spunky self was no longer acting so “spunky”. He expected another stab at his ego or even the book slapped in his face. Or maybe even you storming off. And maybe truly even, you cowering under his gaze as you did when you were human.  
“Huh?” 
“I said I’m sorry.” You spit out. Though upon hearing it come out so spiteful, you take a deep breath, “You can defend me if you want, just… don’t get yourself in trouble so much.”
While you don’t look up, you feel suffocated by Poseidon’s stare. His presence in the room felt heavy and every hair on your body was sticking on end. Wondering what the short tempered sea god would do next. 
“Get out.” Your heart feels as if it’s frozen. As if you could no longer dare to breathe. What? 
“You two get out.” 
If you could breathe out a sigh of relief, you would. Poseidon was referring to his brothers. Not you. 
“Sorry, not happPENING— What THE—!“ 
You watch stunned as with a flick of his finger, Hades and Zeus go flying up in the water and are swiftly brought out of the room. Honestly, if it weren’t for the booming sound of the door closing after they are thrown out, you wouldn’t have believed it happened in the first place. 
And it is only as the sound of the sofa creaking next to you, that you are brought out of your thoughts. 
You can’t help but flinch as Poseidon’s gloved hand comes up to touch your hair, “I defend you because I want to…”
Finally, you bring yourself to look back to Poseidon. His eyes no longer seemed to be that cold icy blue. Instead it now appeared tranquil and calming as you stared into their depths, “…Nothing more. But also nothing less.” 
Biting your lip, you can’t help but to lean into Poseidon’s hand as you look away. Tears beginning to prick the corners of your eyes. Shit.
“Look at me,” At Poseidon’s booming voice, you can’t help but look back at him. Especially as his thumb massages at your cheek, “Why does it bother you so?”
“You could get hurt.” You murmur, though you can’t help but pout as Poseidon scoffs. “I’m serious. Making enemies because of me isn’t a good thing, Poseidon.” 
Idiot… Poseidon can’t help but think. You really are an idiot. 
Why do you choose to care about others over your own well-being? He can’t seem to wrap his head around the concept. Well, at least not entirely. Somehow while looking into those eyes of yours. He can’t help but understand it just  slightly; just the tiniest bit. 
“I’ll take some words out of my own brothers’ mouth,” Poseidon suddenly says, “Poseidon, You…”
“…have no friends.” 
As much as you didn’t want to, you couldn’t help but choke on your own laughter. You weren’t sure what was funnier. That fact that you could imagine Zeus’ or Hades’ face as they told him that or the dead tone of his voice and that blank expression of his. 
“What’s so funny?” Poseidon questions as you shake lightly, though you can only shake your head, “I am serious. What’s so funny?”
If only you had looked up, you would have seen the corners of Poseidon’s lips tilt up in a playful smile.
“I do not understand why you are laughing…,” You let out a small eep as Poseidon suddenly grabs your ankles and tugs them to him. Making you sprawl over the seat of the couch compared to your previous sitting position. As you see Poseidon leaning over you, his knees on either side of your waists as your legs laid lazily over them, you can’t help but let out a small gulp, 
“So, Human...” Poseidon starts once again, unable to hide the corner of his lips curling up into a smirk as he sees your expression as he leans down closer to your face, “What’s so… funny…?”
You really weren’t that slick. Though, in general, you truly never were. He could see your reaction loud and clear as you gazed down at his lips. To be honest, it sent a spark through his whole body. Like as if a single gaze, jump started his whole being. 
“(Y/n)…” Poseidon can’t stop himself as he leans down. It was stupid really how much a human changed him so much. Got him riled up or concerned over the littlest of things. Or how she got him so—
“Lady (Y/n)?” You whip your head around as a knock and voice is heard at the door.
“Ye—Yes?” You choke out, still well aware of the fact Poseidon was still on top of you. 
“Can I get you anything?” The servant asks concerned, “anything at all?”
Ah, you have been in here for quite some time, “No, I’m alright.” 
“Okay. Don’t be afraid to call if need be.”
You let out a sigh of relief as you hear the servants footsteps get quieter and quieter as they walk away from the door and down the hall. Ah, That was a close one.
Though not everything went well. 
“Ah—“ You are caught off guard as you look back to Poseidon. You had totally forgotten you had brought your hand up to his lips to stop him from leaning down when the servant knocked. Now in front of you was a glaring Poseidon, his scowl covered by the palm of your hand. “Sorry…”
“Idiot…” Poseidon mumbles as he shakes his head and leans back up. 
“Hey!” You follow quickly, leaning back upwards as well. Though you soon pause in your next words as a thought hits you, “I was going to say ‘how mean that was’ but… when have you ever been nice in the first place...”
“Hey.” You can’t help but laugh slightly at Poseidon’s expression.
“I’m joking. I’m joking.” You say through laughs. Though as you look up at Poseidon, you realize he didn’t believe you in the slightest, “I’m seriously joking. I swear. Here…”
As you back up from Poseidon and swing your legs over so now that you are standing on your feet, you walk over to a drawer in your office. Carefully, ever so carefully, grabbing the small present wrapped ever so neatly, you walked back to Poseidon. 
“… I forgot to give your present for yesterday.”
As Poseidon grabs the wrapped gift, you could tell he was slightly confused. Especially as he flipped it over to look at the back, “Present?“ 
“Yeah for the Cychríepochí Festival…?” You explain, your voice trailing off at the end, “Ah, you do know what yesterday’s tradition was right?”
“I don’t pay attention to trivial matters,” Poseidon deadpans. This bastard. You want to choke him out but stop yourself from doing so as you instead shake your head. 
“On the first day, the lady gives the guy a gift and on the last day, the guy gives a gift to the lady. So because yesterday was the first day, I was supposed to give you this.”
“Seriously?” Poseidon mumbles under his breath, raising an eyebrow as he picks at the wrapping paper before ripping it off. “Cuff links?”
“Yeah. You wear the same ones on all your uniforms so I wanted to get you another pair.”
“I see…” Poseidon says, looking at them once again before covering them with the lid and placing the box on a table nearby, “…Thank you…”
Oh, this was good.
“Oh?” You start, a mischievous smile on your face, “I didn’t quite hear you there.”
Instantly the air around you freezes, “Do you want me to punish you?” 
“Sorry, sorry.” You quickly say, backtracking, “At least let me tease you once. Let me take it… as my gift in a way.”
“Your gift?” 
“Yeah.” Though as soon as you answer, Poseidon shakes his head. 
“That’s a terrible gift.”
“No it’s not—eep!” You are caught off guard as Poseidon grabs you and makes you sit down on the couch. “W-what are—are you doing?” 
You watched in shock as Poseidon got up from the couch, standing in front of you before bending down. He wouldn’t. 
Though he did. You watched in pure shock as Poseidon got on his knees in front of you.
“Pos— Poseidon.” You instantly lean forward as you realize what he had just done. “Please, I beg of you, get up. You don’t have to kneel before me.”
Though as you reach a hand to touch Poseidon’s cheek he grabs it, “You’re right I don’t.” 
A breath is caught in your throat as Poseidon interlocks his fingers with one of his hands and throws your legs over each of his shoulders with the other.
“…But that’s not my goal here.”
“Poseidon—“
“Shush.” Poseidon hushes, placing a kiss to your thigh which causes you to gasp, “I’m giving you your present…”
“…my wife.”
This loveable bastard.

Author Note: I got a small amount of confused questions on reader’s and Poseidon’s relationship right now in the plot and I thought this chapter is perfect in addressing in. Basically, the plot is a typical enemies to lovers and we are currently dabbling in the lovers faze. But, Poseidon and reader don’t want to admit or accept they have feelings for each other so it’s kind of like a push and pull right now. They will push each other away and then pull each other back in. both are right now trying to learn to adapt to that. Thank you for the question anon :).

Masterlist
Tumblr media
The boy’s nose crinkles up once he sees who helped him, “I didn’t need your help.”
“Sure you didn’t…” The red haired goddess states as her green eyes flashed to her unconscious son on the floor and… her replacement in the cracked wall. Pathetic. “Though your mother and I did make an agreement…”
“…Orion.”
–.--.--
Gasping, You shoot up from your lying position. The silk blankets that were once on you, now lying at your waist. The midnight light of the moon flowing into the room. Illuminating the grand bedroom around you in a soft glow. Wait…
… What?
“You are finally awake. You were out for some time.” 
“P-Poseidon?” You ask out quietly into the dark room.​​ Looking over, however, you see Hades instead sitting in a chair near your bedside; his calloused hand reaching out and caressing your cheek. Catching a tear you hadn’t realized had fallen.
He lets out a low chuckle, “Do my brother and I really look that similar?”
“No. I–” You stumble with your words, trying to grapple with what happened. You don’t remember… anything. Sure, there was that boy from the market, the blood and Triton. But after that, it was all fuzzy. 
The smile suddenly falls off of Hades’ face and a look of concern replaces it, “Did… Did you want my brother here?”
“No.” You instantly respond, though you quickly feel the need to take it back. You did secretly wish Poseidon was here to comfort you. Even though you knew the sea god would never do such a thing, “It’s just… I don’t know… I— What happened? H-How am I…?”
“Shh,” Hades says, grabbing onto your shoulder as you attempt to get up, “It’s all okay. It was bound to happen eventually. Even Hercules experienced it.” 
“Experience what…?”
Hades pauses and seems to roll his eyes as he huffs, “It seems there's another thing my idiot brother decided to keep from telling you.”
You wait as Hades adjusts himself in his chair before finally telling you what he was getting at. “When one takes a sip of Ambrosia and survives, there's a sort of… side effect. No one knows why it happens or how but think of it as an energy burst in a way.”
“An energy burst?” You murmur out, though your words echo in the big bedroom you were in.
“Yes. It happens only once but Demi-Gods or Goddesses who have the ambrosia can go into a black out state of mind, where they are absolutely rabid. They will go punching and screaming to go after whatever they are going after. Even…”
Hades looks you in the eyes, a serious expression on his face, “...if it costs them their life.”
You can’t help but let out a small gulp, “...And…I was like that?”
“Yes.” Hades quickly adds another comment as your face turns distraught, “But it was bound to happen sooner or later.”
However, that does little to relieve your sour mood, “Did…did anyone get hurt?”
“No– Well… actually…” You grow nervous as Hades trails off, “that depends on your definition of hurt.”
You grow nervous at Hades' expression. It was a mix of amusement and blankness, “What happened…”
Finally, since the time you awoke, Hades smirks, “It's best for you to see it yourself.”
Holding up two fingers, Hades chants something under his breath. You watch on anxiously as a flame like essence begins to glow around the fingers. It is a faint white before suddenly–as Hades finishes chanting–turning into a startling neon green. The corner of Hades’ lips twitch up slightly, a little smug upon seeing your expression, but it doesn’t stop him from bringing them up to the temple of your head. Just as the tips of his fingers touch your skin, you gasp. Your vision blurs drastically and it suddenly goes black.
–.--.--.--
“Oh look she's actually getting back up.” Amphtrite mutters, turning her back to Orion to face you. Watching as you stumble and make your way out of the wall. Your movements erratic and stiff as if you weren’t even remotely aware of what your body was doing, “Surprising.”
“Though…” A shiver runs down Orion's spine at the expression Amphtrite makes, “I wonder how much more you can take.”
“Hey, don’t—!” Orion goes to stumble to his feet but before he even twitches his fingers, Amphitrite is halfway across the room and in front of you. The old queen kicks up her leg ready to aim at your head with a sickening blow. However as a loud smack resounds across the room, you stand there unscaved. Your arm up blocking your head from the incoming blow.
“Impressive…” Amphitrite lets out sarcastically, her brow twitching up slightly in amusement, “But let's see if you can continue to follow—”
All of a sudden, Amphitrite lets out a gasping breath. Her face contorting to pain as your heel digs into her abdomen. The sound of broken bones cracking echoes in the room as Amphitrite is kicked into the nearby wall.
“You—“ Amphitrite coughs out, her hair suddenly going wild and standing up on its ends, “You Bitch!” 
Orion can only watch back in horror as the two queens battle it out. These… These were gods. The pressure was immense, it was suffocating, and Orion couldn’t even move. His eyes trained to the fight in front of him out of pure fear. 
And it is only as a large droplet of blood—from whom he didn’t know—came splashing onto his cheek, that he broke out of his stupider. 
“H-Hey!” The teenage boy announces, picking up an ornamental sword that laid nearby on the ground, “Stop it! I don’t care what my mother told you. Stay out of my—“
“Shut up.” 
Suddenly, a shiver goes down Orion’s spine as the water around him goes cold; eerily cold. And he instantly drops his sword. The metal making a loud clang as it hits the marble floor. He can only let out shallow hiccups of breaths as he slowly turns to look who was next to him. 
…Poseidon…
The elder god doesn’t even spare another glance nor word at him but Orion got the message. Loud and clear. If he moved, he would be dead. And it wouldn’t even take a second. 
Frozen in fear. Orion lips quiver but he doesn’t make a peep. He stands there frozen as Poseidon suddenly disappears from his side and he has Amphitrite in a death grip by her hair. 
“P-Poseidon…,” His ex-wife chokes out at him. Though Poseidon doesn’t spare her a glance, a look or even a thought. Just like their marriage and as long as she had known him, Poseidon pays Amphitrite no mind. Instead his eyes were trained to you—you fricking bitch—while his other arm was wrapped around your waist lovingly. Even as you scratched and clawed at his chest to the point it drawn blood, still desperate to get at Amphitrite in your crazed state, Poseidon didn’t flinch. “M-my Love…”
Quickly, Amphitrite realized that was the wrong thing to do as Poseidon’s sudden bitter cold gaze finally looked towards her. For the first time in their lives, the two ex-lovers locked eyes and Amphitrite felt pure fear run through her. 
Poseidon simply muttered 6 words to her, “I was never such a thing.” 
“P-Poseidon…!”
–.--.--.--
You gasp and clutch your head as a sharp pain runs through you. Nearly collapsing from the overwhelming feeling, yet somehow still attempting to hold yourself together, you hunch over to keep yourself centered.
“Shit—“ Hades’ cold hands suddenly grab your face quickly, “Sorry I shouldn’t have done that so quickly after you had woken up.”
However, that was the last thing on your mind at the moment. As you finally get yourself well enough to glance up from your fetal like position, you can only say one thing, “Poseidon…I… he…
…He ripped her arm off.”
An eerie silence fills the room but you could tell that Hades isn’t all that shocked by your words. Not even in the slightest. 
“Yes. That he did.” Hades answers simply, still caressing your temple as he sighs and looks away from you.
“Y-you’re…are you not surprised?” 
“It’s simply an eye for an eye.” The eldest god sighs, taking his hand from your temple to run through his hair as he leans back in his chair, “Amphitrite tried to hurt you with her bare hands so Poseidon tore one of them off.” 
“But…”
“You’re thinking humanly. Remember we are gods.” 
Hades suddenly stands up and walks around the bed to the window nearby. 
“We are Beautiful; Hubris; Malicious; Possessive.”
As Hades trails off, you watch as he brings up a hand to the glass of the window, “I do not blame my brother for what he did. Hell…” Suddenly Hades lets out a dark chuckle, “If anyone laid a finger on Persephone… I…”
You can’t help but let out a low gulp as the glass around Hades hand started to form tiny crystallized cracks. 
“…I don’t know what I would do…”
Silence dances around the room as Hades takes a deep breath. Trying to calm himself down. “But hell, that’s just how we gods are.” 
“But, Poseidon doesn’t like me like that.”
And, Hades doesn’t miss a beat in responding, “We both know that’s false. Much to my distaste.” 
“Distaste?” You can’t help but laugh at that, “I thought you were happy about the fact Poseidon and I were together. Well.. other than that small bump from earlier…” 
“Yes. You are very much correct but not anymore,” Hades turns himself around to look back at you. A young human; no, he was wrong. You were far from human now. You were a Demi-goddess. A Queen. Poseidon had plucked you from your home and burnt everything that remained of your former self. Hell, he didn’t have to think, he knew that you could no longer blend back into human society. This was why he knew Poseidon, and Zeus, had to be held responsible for their actions, “I have the tendency to spoil my younger brothers a bit too much. They have never faced my wrath and I had no intention of it happening either. Though…”
Hades comes closer to you and sits down on your bed, “…this time those dumbasses took it too far and they deserve to be punished. Especially Poseidon.”
“…you don’t have to do that…” You can’t help but whisper out.
“Yes, I do.” Hades answers, “Someone has to stick up for you.” 
Suddenly before you can respond, the door of the bedroom comes crashing open. 
“And that makes the two of us!” Persephone shouts out, though she pauses as she walks a couple of steps in. After a few moments, a smirk makes its way on her face, “Hey… Hey… Hey Hades… I didn’t realize you were this eager to get into her bed.”
“Persephone!” You gape out shocked at her words, your face feeling hot and bothered as you scurry away from Hades as much as you can. Though Hades doesn’t even bat an eye, a low chuckle being the only sign he heard his wife in the first place.
“No, no. I don’t mind (y/n),” Persephone answers, a small pout making its way on the tiny woman's face, “If anything, I’m a bit jealous Hades would have gotten to you first…“
“You know I wouldn’t have started without you, my love.” At Hades’ “charming” words , Persephone leaps into her lover’s arms and presses kisses all over his face. “You know how much I love to just sit back and watch it happen.” 
“Hades!” 
Upon hearing your whines, Persephone turns her attention back to you, “Oh come on, (y/n). You can’t tell me you haven’t thought about—“
Persephone is suddenly cut off by a booming voice, “That’s enough.” 
“Hey, Hey, Hey.” Gently, Hades moves Persephone off his lap and stands up. “I thought I told you to stay away from here.”
You can’t help but watch stunned as Poseidon pays no mind to his eldest brother’s words and instead, he bravely marches up to you by your bedside. Not even batting an eye at the couple on the other side.
“Poseidon—“ 
Persephone is cut off once again as Poseidon speaks, “Triton is safe and well.” 
A confused silence falls over the room.
“What…?” You can’t help but let out. Looking up at your husband in pure confusion. 
Poseidon blinks not once, not twice but three times before repeating himself. Surprisingly without any sass or rebuttal from him. 
“My—Our son… he’s fine.” He says, his hand hesitantly reaching down to touch your face. Though it is only a ghost of a touch that caresses your cheek. As if he was almost hesitant to do such a thing in the first place. “I came to inform you that Triton is safe and healing. His injuries were minimal for a god.”
“I see…” You whisper, hesitantly sparing a glance away from him to look at Hades and Persephone. The latter silently fuming as he stared at his brother. “Thank you… I mean it…”
“Though…”
Your look suddenly turns icy as you bravely stare Poseidon down in the eyes, “What about your other son? Poseidon.”
“(Y/n)…”
Poseidon’s gaze suddenly turns blank as Hades chimes in as well, “I think we both deserve that explanation, dear brother.”
“I don’t owe you anything—“
“Poseidon.” The sea god—though not showing it—can’t help but be shocked as you cut him off. While you may have done it before, it was out of pure firey spite. Not like this. No. Not like the cold chill that he could feel leaking from your prescence, “I want an answer. Now.”
The blonde haired god looks at you for a couple of moments. Seeming to take you in as if he needed to before taking his hand away from your cheek and opening his mouth.
“If you are referring to the myths about us gods and asking if I raped the gorgon sisters. I did not.”  Poseidon answers, his gaze never leaving you as he continues, “Remember, Humans from the past feared us. While some of our stories were of heroic tales, romance and adventure. Most were to show our wrath, have the Humans respect us. Fear us.”
He lets out a heavy sigh before finally tearing his eyes away from yours, “And no one… no one, feared the wrath of the ocean. The wrath of any other ocean god, more than the Greeks.”
While you felt bad for Poseidon and the fact humans wrote him such a way just because they feared him, you still couldn’t help but still feel bitterness towards him for not telling you this sort of thing. So you tried your hardest not to let out a voice of concern. 
“I see…” You honestly had no clue what to say next. “So…, then you and the Gorgons…”
“They don’t produce offspring through Sex.” Poseidon quickly explains, “According to what I’ve gathered over the years, it's through drinking the blood of their victim. I didn’t think the last time I got into an… altercation with those three that they would dare to use my blood for that purpose.”
They?
“You think all three tried to…?”
“Likely.” You are caught off guard as Hades suddenly voices up. Though you could still hear the bitter tone in his voice from Poseidon’s presence, “Those three have been trying to get back at the gods ever since Athena turned them into those things.”
A thought suddenly hits you, “And…, Holding the true heir to Atlantis…”
Poseidon meets your gaze, seeming to already understand the situation at hand, “Will cause the downfall of the gods.”
“Wait, Wait, Wait,” You are shocked as Persephone suddenly steps into the conversation, “I can’t help but see that you aren’t too shocked by Orion”
That was very true. Persephone made a good point.
“Because,” For the first time ever you see Poseidon hesitate, 
“Because Orion isn’t the only one.”
You can instantly hear Persephone screaming at him but it was muffled, as if it seemed far away. It felt as if your ears were ringing and as you stared at Poseidon’s blue eyes, you realized it was the only thing keeping you grounded. And it’s only as Hades voices up after a couple of moments that you snap out of it. 
“Of course he hasn’t told her about that…” 
“About what?“ You snap your head at Hades before quickly turning your head back at Poseidon, realizing he’s the one you should be mad at. “I’m starting to get sick and tired of you not telling me things!” 
“(Y/n)—“
“No, don’t (y/n) me!” You shout, slapping away Poseidon’s hand as he goes to touch you. 
“Human.” Poseidon warns, his patience thinning and he struggles to hold himself calmly. 
“Poseidon.” At his brother’s harsh call, he stops himself. Finally, Poseidon decided to give one glance at his elder sibling and while it was extremely brief, he knew what Hades was trying to tell him.
Treat her as your equal. 
“Tell me everything, Poseidon. Anything and everything.” You say bitterly to the god you call your husband, “Even if it takes all night.”
Thankfully, there wasn’t even as much as a sigh before Poseidon starts talking once again. 
–.--.--.--
What a mess…
To put it simply, you learned much more than you wanted to know about the realm of the gods. Especially the Fates. 
You knew from the many Greek myths how minor yet also big of a role they played but you didn’t expect this. It turns out that those three old hags had just as much of a sick sense of humor as the rest of the gods did. Especially little Miss. Future diety. 
She apparently liked to whisper into the ears of Mortals to spark some “true” inspiration in their myths and storytelling about the gods. Apparently one time when Hercules went to go visit them, he overheard some of the futures that she was sprinkling into Mortal thoughts. 
One of which was about the myth of Chrysaor and Pegasus. 
From what the gods assumed and secretly looked into, Chrysaor and Pegasus were stillborn in Medusa. Never to be born naturally and could likely only be produced if Perseus chopped off Medusa’s head.
Of course, at the time, they had never heard of a valent hero called Perseus and believed that it was something of the long future. Nothing to worry about currently.
Though you couldn’t understand why they were so calm about this. Especially Poseidon. He now knew he had a first born son in Orion. A half gorgon, half god-like being. One that you knew hated gods and goddesses alike. He also still had Triton. A 100% god offspring whose birth mother was insane. One that was heir to the throne (though you didn’t know if that was true anymore). And now, now, you knew that at any moment if Perseus came strolling along and chopped Medusa’s head off. Poseidon would have two more children to add to his bunch. And you didn’t want to know what would happen for that situation. This was just insane! Total insanity! 
“My lady?” You are suddenly startled out of your thoughts as Marine’s concerned voice rings in your ears. “Are you alright, My Lady?”
You give Marine a small grin before once again looking out the window of the carriage, “Yes, yes. Of course.”
Though, that was very much a lie. And Marine knew it just as much as you knew it. But he didn’t press any further. 
“Well,” Marine says, suddenly speaking up once again, “I heard that the parade tomorrow is going to be exciting.” 
The Cychríepochí Festival. Day 2 has now arrived. 
“Yes, that it shall be very… exciting.”

stupid question but what does Marine actually looks like bcs I never had a clear image of him༛̥⃝⠒̫⃝
Marine is a tribute to a loyal reader ( @glitching-art ) whose beta fish passed away. I believe if I remember correctly it’s a blue beta fish. There’s some fan art that you can see about him in the Masterlist I think as well.

Things you might not have known about Bivalve (Ch.7)
Chapter 7. As mentioned in many times in the story, Bivalve is currently located in Atlantis under the water. Of course, Author forgets this a lot and has to go back to edit a lot to make sure she remembers. Originally the “Bioluminescence fish scene” was a bunch of stars that reader could see due to it being far from human civilization. Of course, stars don’t exist under the sea so Author had to pull a fast one. It turned out good in the end though.
For some reason people were sad about the jellyfish being killed, Author was confused. Author lives near the sea and has been stung by jellyfishes more than enough times. Author hates jellyfishes. Author had to wrap her head around the fact some people find jellyfishes cute. It’s the same as going up to a person in new York and saying rats are cute. It mind boggles you.
Originally after killing the Jellyfish, Poseidon was going to take you back to his manor because he believes you couldn’t be left alone. Reader would have stayed in his room (nothing would happen) and this would have made Amphitrite jealous. Of course, this didn’t make sense in Poseidon’s character as he currently is still only physical attracted to reader and would never show he cares. So, Author changed it last minute.
Ch.7 was a lot of last minute editing, a lotttt. Author was surprised it turned out so popular in the end.

Things you might not have known about Bivalve (Ch 3-6)
Chapter 3-6 have a bunch of mini gags sprinkled in (none really major ones). So rapid fire round:
- Ch 3/4: The giant turtle is named Alexander The Great. This is a gag to the Greek hero/king Alexander the Great. Author thought she was a genius at the time for coming up with the idea.
- Ch.3: The dress/toga scene is another reference to Zeus being attracted to reader. Hence “the dog in heat” reference.
- Ch.4: When Triton thinks that he will never mention that his mother is more beautiful than Aphrodite. References Greek mythology on how Aphrodite will kill anyone more beautiful to her.
- Ch.5: Bryce tries to stop and protect reader. This was a subtle hint (as well as in chapter 2) that he had feelings for her.
- Ch.5: While many might think Poseidon is the voice calling out to the reader or possibly an inner instinct, it’s actually Zeus. Its another reference to greek mythology.
- Ch.6: At the start of the chapter when Poseidon says “my brother must be losing his mind”. This references not only the fact that Zeus is trying to set Poseidon up with reader but also Poseidon thinks Zeus is crazy for finding the reader attractive.
- Ch.6: Reader tries to hold Triton’s head over the water even though she knows that he is the son of Poseidon. Not her best moment.
- Ch.6: This is once again obvious and seen throughout the book but reader is written to be the total opposite of Amphitrite. This is first seen in the fact the reader is much weaker compared to Amphitrite. For some reason, even author doesn’t know, this attracts Poseidon.
- Ch.6: Before snapping himself out of the kiss (or giving his blessing), Poseidon was actually enjoying the kiss with the reader. He pulls away because he feels it defines him as weak.
- Ch.6: Marine is actually a tribute to the precious Beta Fish of “glitching-art” that passed away. Glitching art is one of the first loyal fans of Bivalve and motivated me a lot to continue writing the series.

Things you might not have known about Bivalve (Pt.2)
1st fact: Triton calling reader “Mother” early on is supposed to show Triton has trauma and clings onto the first source of love/attention he gets. Of course this backfired on Author as not many people understood the reference and previous sign shown in his personality, many were just caught off guard and thought it didn’t make sense. Author was very depressed after as she thought she was smart for including it.
2nd Fact: In chapter 2, The scene where reader is analyze the Greek mythology books is a secret joke/reference to the earlier rough drafts of Bivalve.

In the first rough drafts of Bivalve, reader would be taking in Poseidon’s 10 children one by one over the span of her life in college. This idea was quickly scrapped as it felt like the reader was collecting Pokémon and didn’t fit with Snv Poseidon’s personality.
Extra fun fact: Triton in the Bivalve draft was originally going to be an angsty 16 year old that constantly got everyone in trouble. The personality and description you know for the final draft Triton is actually what I wrote for Chrysaor, twin brother of Pegasus.
Extra extra fun fact: Poseidon in the rough draft was much more of an asshole than now. How surprising.

Things you might not have known about Bivalve (Pt.1)
1st Fact: This mentioned throughout the book but I often refer to the gods as perfect, cold, hard, marble-like beings. This is a gag at Twilight as when I first read Poseidon in the manga, he reminded me of Edward Cullen.
2nd Fact: In Chapter 1, Author has created a watercolor of the scene where Triton is floating on the bubble because she loved the scene so much.

Things you might not have known about Bivalve (Pt.0)
This first fact is likely pretty obvious but I wanted to start off easy. The story is called Bivalve because a Bivalve is the most common seashell in the sea and the reader is based on the average person (this is pretty obvious but some might have forgotten).
2nd fact: In the prologue, Zeus doesn’t come up to the reader because he thinks she would be a good wife for his brother or that he finds her interesting. It’s actually because he wants to seduce her. Yep 😳🤡. Its mentioned very very discreetly but if you know Greek mythology and you analyze the text closely you can see it.

Things you might not know about Bivalve (Ch.12)
A/N: Once again, Minors do not read. Explicit content you have been warned.
Chapter 12; another fun chapter. Get ready Folks.
Fact 1: Vol. 3 is called Kiss the Girl. Messed up in many ways as it’s a Disney reference (and Amphitrite ironically looks like Ariel) and it is right after they hit 3rd base.
Fact 2: Reader casually wishes she had google to help search up what to do if you have sex with a god. Just normal things.
Fact 3: Poseidon is the type to read a book then fall asleep after sex. Then again he probably has more stamina than the reader so he isn’t likely that tired.
Fact 4: His bedroom also secretly reveals a similarity between him and Triton. Poseidon bed is a circle bed in the center of his room, Triton build a nest like bed out of pillows. Poseidon is laying on a pile of soft and silk pillows to keep himself upright, Triton likes soft and comfy things. Coincidence? I think not.
Fact 5: Reader casually insults Poseidon by saying she doesn’t see him as the type to read. Poseidon is also reading a book about Penguins btw. There was going to be a scene where the reader snatched the book away but that got replaced by the pillow scene.
Fact 6: The fact that Poseidon wrinkles his nose up at the term “wife” when referring to reader, once again shows that Poseidon and Reader are physical attracted to each other. They aren’t emotionally nor do they like each other like that yet.
Fact 7: However when the servant knocks on the door and both of them think it’s Amphitrite, Poseidon acts very defensive and suspicious. This shows that he is instinctively acting protecting over the reader, not feeling yet but he’s ahead of the reader a little.
Fact 8: Poseidon casually gives reader a vitamin/birth control pill. This reveals Poseidon didn’t wear a condom. Poseidon is an asshole.
Fact 9: Reader casually thinks it’s a good idea to throw a pillow to Poseidon. Poseidon also didn’t catch it. This shows his guard was down, either because he didn’t care since the reader is human or that he felt relaxed with her. I’ll let you guys decide which one is correct.
Fact 10: When Poseidon says “You aren’t going anywhere, Human.” Was this sexual? Yes.
Does that mean Author wrote another smu— Shush. Yes. Just take the answer as always yes. Once again, it’s locked in the deepest dungeons of my abyssal docs.
Fact 11: Amphitrite casually wondering where it all went wrong when Poseidon is currently having sex with reader. How convenient.
Fact 12: Amphitrite wears a dark veil to hide herself from the eyes of the gorgon sisters. This reveals that gods are affected by the powers of the gorgon sisters.
Fact 13: In Bivalve, Medusa is not pregnant with Poseidon’s kids (Pegasus and Chrysaor). This means Medusa is not raped by Poseidon. And before you all come for my head about that, I have my reasons. I don’t think there is anything wrong with that version of the Medusa story. I just felt that it didn’t fit with the fact that a. Amphitrite scares off any female near Poseidon and b. Snv Poseidon in Bivalve doesn’t really fit Mythology Poseidon. I made him much colder than a gross player.
Fact 14: So, this begs the question, SPOILERS IF YOU AREN’T CAUGHT UP TO CHAPTER 19, how did Euryale get pregnant with Orion. Well, that will be mentioned in chapter 20. It’s not through the usual way I assure you. Could this mean Medusa could secretly have Pegasus and Chrysaor when her head is cut off, perhaps? It’s going to be a little weird writing it though.
Fact 15: Now, I know people liked the gorgon sisters during this chapter but I promise from Ch 20 or 23 forward you will hate them. I will be surprised if you don’t.
Do with this information what you wish.

Things you might not know about Bivalve (Ch.11)
A/N: If you are Minor please don’t read this, I know I can’t technically stop you guys but just a warning. It gets explicit.
The chapter most of you have likely been waiting for Chapter 11. Chapter 11 is filled with references. It’s honestly a chapter Author had a lot of fun with.
Fact 1: The Pacific Manor is the largest manor just like how the Pacific Ocean is the largest ocean. Author once again thought she was creative.
Fact 2: Reader is dropped on the couch in Poseidon’s office. This is the same couch Poseidon was sitting on when Amphitrite was flirting with Poseidon in Chapter 9. Aka the Couch Poseidon got a boner on thinking about the reader. It was a forewarning about what was to come.
Fact 3:Poseidon hands the marriage document written in old English to reader. This is a funny joke in of itself. Though if you look closer it’s even funnier. At first one would assume that Poseidon just didn’t want to bother translating the document to modern English but you have to realize Poseidon is a GREEK god so they speak GREEK (Ancient Greek as well). So he basically translated the document in English for the reader but then didn’t want to seem too caring and translated it to old English. The P in Poseidons name stands for petty people. PETTY.
Fact 4: Not only in this chapter but in the last one as well, Poseidon has begun staring the reader in the eye. Subtle character change in Poseidon and reveals his change in opinions about the reader.
Fact 5: Poseidon helping the reader about to go through a panic attack. Once again, subtle character change.
Fact 6: Author writes about reader struggling to breathe when the reader IS UNDERWATER. But then again how do you write fish accepting oxygen in the water. You call it breathing. Author was having a mental break down after realizing that fact, she hopes you are too :).
Fact 7: There is a million other ways for Poseidon to give the Ambrosia to the reader. He could have honestly put in the cup for crying out loud or help his arm up for her to drink from. But he chose kissing. He uses the excuse that it is because she will only mess it up. I’ll let you decide whether he had his mind in the gutter or not.
Fact 8: Technically this is the readers first kiss with Poseidon as she was a. unconscious for the previous one and b. doesn’t know how Poseidon gave her the blessing in the first place (likely believes he waved his magic wand and poof). So, also technically if you were to ask either one of them what was there first kiss with the other, they would have totally different answers.
Fact 9: Reader compares to drinking Poseidon’s blood as building up a tolerance as if it’s Poison. An off handed insult the Author put in.
Fact 10: The fact the Poseidon hasn’t had sex with anyone since Triton was conceived. This means this is the first time he is getting laid in at least a century, probably more if you consider how far back greek mythology is written. A century!
Fact 11: Does this technically mean Poseidon’s dick is an ancient artifact?
Fact 12: People believe that Poseidon looking at reader’s stomach was supposed to mean that he was imagining knocking her up. I originally wrote this scene to symbolize the inner battle with himself and that he was trying to ground himself. But I much better like the people’s opinion.
Fact 13: Poseidon is prideful but still admits he is an idiot. This shows that he is internally constantly bashing himself into being the perfect being. An small scene into Poseidon’s psychological self… during a make out scene. Yay!
Fact 14: Reader is willing to sleep with Poseidon even though she hates him. This shows that while she doesn’t like Poseidon, she is attracted to him.
Fact 15: And finally. The secret that I keep in the deepest depths of my hidden dungeon and the question I get asked the most. Was there going to be a smut scene after this chapter. And I can finally answer said forbidden question. Yes, yes there was. Author just decided to change the rating to more family friendly last minute 🤩🤩. So you can thank your author for that.
Do I still have the smut scene? Yes, yes I do. Is it almost a full chapter long as well? yes yes it is. Is it going to ever be released? 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️
Do with this information what you wish.

Is there a specific chapter of bivalve people want Easter eggs released to first? The 1st Vol secrets are pretty short from what I can see in my drafts and I feel like I should give you guys something good.
I’m relying on my more vocal audience for this one.
