I closed my eyes at the warmth of his touch.
‘We are Titans. Fuck Zeus. Fuck his customs.
Fuck his marriages and Olympus.
We are not governed by them.
We will do exactly what we please.’
I looked into his eyes
and just like that,
a resolve formed in my mind.
He was right. We answered to no one,
not even God-Kings.
I had already defied Hades.
I would defy Zeus too.
I would defy the world
if it meant I could be with Thanatos.
It occurred to me with a jolt then:
I loved him. Itrulyloved him.
I lifted my head from his hands
and it was then that I realized
that our lips were so close.
This was the closest we had ever been.
I moved first. Or maybe he did.
My lips touched his gently,
and like a long-held promise,
his mouth yielded to mine
and suddenly it was as though
a thousand stars were born,
every river, every ocean in the world
stopped flowing for a second for us,
even the moon in all her glory
stopped her glow to stare at us.
