it felt like there was a heavy weight on her chest. something that she had not experienced before and she could feel the sob creeping up. what had occurred earlier that night had stunned her. it had been a long time since she had heard someone calling for help. something she used to do with the souls in the underworld. zack had been out and she hadn’t been able to  help herself. yet she hadn’t been able to do everything that she might have upon reaching the one who had sought her out without knowing entirely. she had tried her hardest but it hadn’t been enough. she had returned to the apartment and sat on the couch. only to feel tears as she struggled to think clearly, barely realizing that the door was being unlocked. her gaze lifted when she heard footsteps,” i cou-i couldn’t save him.”

they had kept moving ever since they had arrived in the mortal world. it was maddening that they no longer had a place to call home. nothing was ever going to compare to the place they had left behind. that night they found themselves staying in a hotel. she knew that they couldn’t keep it up and would need to find a place to live. he had been the one to get the room and they made their way up to the room. he had unlocked the door and together they stepped inside. though they both froze the moment that their eyes landed on the queen bed. since they had arrived they had slept in separate beds. however she had overheard the man working the desk telling zack that it was their last room. 

“how do we do this?” she asked, wondering what he might think. after all they were close but they didn’t usually get that close. she knew they both were tired after a very long day. all she had intended on doing was taking a shower and then getting some much needed rest. instead they were faced with their current situation. one that she wasn’t sure how to solve. her head turned when she heard what he stammered out. a smile appeared on her face and relief washed over her,” that settles it,” she said after a moment,” i’m just going to clean up and then we can get some sleep.” 

after a nice hot shower she felt ten times better. she slipped into one of his long sleeve shirts since that was what she had taken to wearing to sleep in. she didn’t bother with drying her hair and instead made her way out of the bathroom. he was already in the bed but he had turned the TV on. she crawled in beside him and he reached to turn off the lamp. at first neither of them said a word but she opted to scoot closer. he lifted his arm at her nudging and she curled up to his side. her face pillowed on his chest and his arm held her close. she had been craving contact since they had been forced to flee their home. 

“can you just hold me like this?” she whispered, not caring that maybe she should keep her distance,” just till i fall asleep?” she didn’t lift her head but she felt him nod. to her surprise his hold on her tightened and he tugged the blankets closer to them.

The apartment felt empty without Celeste. Without her, the grief and loneliness had descended. There was an ache in his chest that he knew nothing but her presence would soothe again. Still, he almost wished she wouldn’t come back. He hadn’t heard from her since she’d left to find Hecate, hadn’t wanted to bother her or sway her opinion. Regardless of how desperately he wanted her by his side, regardless of how much he missed her after only a few days, he knew that she was better off with the goddess. After all, Hecate was who she was meant to be with. He was just...her friend. She’d be safer with Hecate no matter how much he wanted her with him. So, he was caught between disappointment and elation when the door opened and he saw Celeste step inside. Helios’ journey was almost done for the day, the last few rays of sunlight streaming in through the open door to the balcony to bathe the nymph in golden light. Had more of the gods still been around, he’d have thought she was a gift from them with how divine she looked. His shoulders fell with a sigh, the action laced with both relief and dismay. “You came back.” The desire to run to her and sweep her up into his arms caught him, but he remained sitting where he was with his guitar perched on his lap. Some part of him was hoping that she’d returned only to tell him that she was going to stay with Hecate permanently, and he didn’t want Celeste to rethink her decision because of how happy he was to see her. “How was it?”

it felt as if all of the air had been sucked out of the room. celeste never imagined in all of their lifetimes together that he would utter such words. she never quite understood what it was that she felt towards him or rather she didn’t want to understand. ever since they had been forced to flee from their home their relationship was changing. she was trying to ignore the thudding bass on the other side of the wall. somehow she had convinced him to go with her to one of the many nightclubs. she hadn’t been expecting that the two of them would end up dancing with other people. only for her to pull him from the girl he had in his arms when she felt a bout of what she already knew was jealously. she hadn’t said a single word but she had pulled him into a thankfully empty bathroom. then he had uttered those words and she was rendered speechless. her hands reached to grab him by the fabric of his shirt and she found herself tugging him close,” i-i-i want you.” she practically choked the words out before she smashed her lips against his own. only to hoist herself up in his arms, not caring in the slightest about where they were or the risk,” i’ve always wanted you,” she mumbled against his lips, not willing to pull back,” ever since i found you when i was going to help those souls in the field of mourning.”

Zack had been broken for a long time. Losing his parents, losing his home and his way of life- it had all been too much for him. Truth be told, he was still broken, but at least he could breathe now. He could get from one day to the next, and so much of that was because of the lampad he was rushing home to. The nymph was his dearest friend, the most important thing in his life. When he’d eventually realized that there was no hope of holding the Underworld together without his mother and father there and there had been no choice but to leave, she was the one thing he’d refused to leave behind. He missed Hecate, the other lampades, the souls he’d befriended, but Celeste... She was everything to him, and he was gripping the flowers in his hand with happy memories in his mind for once of heading from the palace down to Asphodel with her to visit the souls who’d made their home in the lush fields that had once been littered with that very same bloom. He hadn’t seen asphodels growing since the two had been wandering around Europe and hadn’t been able to help himself from stopping and staring when he saw a pot of them sitting out on someone’s stoop. The little reminder of home had hurt at first until he’d remembered their adventures. He wanted her to share in those good memories again, too. Bounding up the stairs of the building to the apartment they shared, there was a smile on the prince’s face for the first time in a long time. “Are you home?” He called out, though the god of hunting had no trouble reaching out and sensing her presence there. His smile widened when he found Celeste. “I have something for you.” He announced before leaning down to meet her eyes and presenting her with the stems of delicate white flowers. “Look what I found.”
