by Chonky_kirbz

Summary:

Greek mythology AU- IvanTill Hades and Persephone

An hour later a voice boomed that it was time for the yearly Godly announcements, everyone's presence was required around the main stage of the hall. Till stood towards the back of the hall and watching the major Gods give announcements he frankly couldn't care less about. That was until he watched Ivan take the stage, "I have a request for a marriage union" he states, staring right at Till.

Notes:

Hiii, I'm not planning for this to be completely accurate to the myth but it will definitely be in there :D
I'm planning to update when I can.

It is a modern setting but it will be combined with elements of the ancient world

Chapter 1

Notes:

Sorry about the formatting it isn't letting me change it for some reason 😭

ITS FIXED NOW

I swear the formatting gets better every chapter it's not always these fat paragraphs

Olympia was a grand place, it had dozens of waterfalls cascading from the sides, luscious vines climbing up the ivory walls, each room was giant as if they were intended to intimidate whoever entered them. Till always felt out of place when he was forced to enter the giant building, he preferred the mortal realm where everything was less grand, he could forget about his responsibilities as a God and focus on music- his true passion. He never understood why he was made the God of spring it was ill-fitting of his personality, no one would expect the God of spring to look like a disaster who just fell out of hot topic, or have an aggressive temper.

He begins walking towards the meeting hall of Olympus, dreading the time he'd have to spend here, the only thing that made it palatable was Mizi a young God who ruled over flowers and prosperity. Due to their similar Godly titles they were often taught how to fulfil their roles as Gods together, Till felt strongly towards the Goddess but could never truly tell what his feelings meant, sometimes he couldn't help feeling envious of her due to her appearance, she had the beauty you'd expect the Goddess of flowers to have.

Till entered the meeting hall, it was bigger then he remembered, there must have been at least 100 Gods stood around the room talking amongst themselves about various orders of business. He overheard some of the conversations, some where as mundane as "Hey have you tried the new ambrosia booze flavour" where others were discussing important ordeals "Hey so I was thinking about letting the Spartans beat the Athenians, what do you think?". Till hated the amount of control Gods exhibited over mortals it seemed completely pointless to him, he'd happily give up power if it meant that he could peruse his true passions. He began moving around the hall praying to see a familiar face to make his time here more palatable. A force bumped into his side and he spun around, he came face to face with a God he'd only ever heard of before; the God of desire and lust, he was dressed in a pure white silk outfit that left little to the imagination, barley concealing his most private areas.

"Watch where your going brat, you nearly made me spill my drink down my perfect form", the blonde man spat. Till looked at the arrogant man with anger about to snap back when the blonde man added "what's an insignificant God doing here anyway, Your not even pretty enough to be here for entertainment purposes", he giggled inspecting Till's face, aiming to get a rise out of Till. Till opened his mouth to respond when another God materialized between the two of them, he was in an alluring black garment with black wings flowing down his back, on his head sat a black laurel crown. His eyes were piercing Till felt as if he could see straight through him, they were black except the very centre which had dots of red, giving him an almost vampiric look. Till didn't recognize this God but from his appearance he could tell he ranked far above him, possibly even above the blonde God standing before him. "Lukaaa". He said in a cheery almost condescending tone "That's not how we treat fellow Gods now is it" He stated staring at Till the whole time, it sent shivers down his spine, "I can defend myself asshole" Till snapped back. The fellow God giggled at this causing Till to become even more pissed off, "Ugh, Ivan why bother defending this puny little God" Luka drawled smirking at Till as he spoke. He turned on his heel and left, making a show of his model like cat walk and ability to walk in precariously high heels Clearly annoyed at the new God interrupting what was his definition of fun.

These occurrences were the reason Till hated major Gods, they had this overbearing aura and arrogant attitude that made his skin crawl even being near them for too long. He moved to address the raven hair God, "You can go now" he said flatly looking up at the mans face, Till couldn't deny the man It front of him was attractive but he'd rather die then admit that to one of the big headed major Gods. "I'm Ivan" he responded, "I know I heard" Till snapped back watching the man in front of him smirk.

Till turned to leave not wanting to converse anymore with the annoying God, he pushed through the crowds to try and spot familiar long pink hair, while trying to hide from anymore pretentious major Gods. He drifted over to the food table to try and get a better view of the crowds of Gods there, he stood at the end of the table watching as Gods conversed and danced around, the purpose of this meeting was to get all the Gods in one place, it was held once a year and Till usually tried to skip it, but missing the previous 3 years put him on thin ice with his fellow Gods- so he had no choice but to attend this one.

"I recommend this drink" a voice said, he turned around to see the annoying God from earlier. "Didn't ask" he retorted wondering why the other God was so insistent on talking to him, "I haven't seen you before, why?" Ivan enquired, Till decided it would be best to just answer this God having a feeling that not answering would just cause the God to pester him more "I hate big events like this, and I especially hate crappy Gods like you". "Ouch" Ivan replied in mock offense enjoying every moment of teasing the other God "Y'know most people wouldn't speak to me the way you do" he teased hoping to get a reaction out of Till, testing the best way to get the God to give him his attention. Till raised his eyebrow at the comment but didn't respond, "I'm the God of the underworld" he whispered. Till didn't know what reaction the other was going for with this information, he couldn't say he was exactly surprised due to the aura he exuded. "So, what?" Till answered. "I think I'm in love with you" replied the ravenette.

At this declaration Till decided he'd had enough of the others antics and settled on bolting, he ran until he reached the gardens just outside the large hall. He sat down on one of the benches surrounded by nature, due to being the God of spring he always felt calm amongst the flowers, they allowed him to wind down after a long day. He hoped that the meeting would be over soon,

An hour later a voice boomed that it was time for the yearly Godly announcements, everyone's presence was required around the main stage of the hall. Till stood towards the back of the hall and watching the major Gods give announcements he frankly couldn't care less about. That was until he watched Ivan take the stage, "I have a request for a marriage union" he states, staring right at Till.

-Brief Ivan Pov from first meeting-

Ivan stood in the corner of the room, bored by the mandatory event. He disliked most other Gods they were selfish and rude, he rarely willingly spoke to other Gods, being the God of the underworld suited him as he always preferred solitude over social environments. From the corner of his eye he spotted a figure he hadn't seen before, he had silver hair with a tint of blue, he was instantly drawn to the man. He watched as he turned, he felt a spike of envy seeing the pretty silver hair God speak to the arrogant god of desire-he watched as the silver hair man's face contort into anger. He decided to go over and see what was happening between the Gods, as he got closer to the two of them, he was struck by the beauty of the silver God. Maybe this meeting of the Gods wouldn't be as boring as the rest.

Chapter 2: The Meeting of the gods ends

Summary:

Till and Ivan are dating ?!?!?

Till feels the God's eyes piercing him as he continues on "I request to be able to court someone" he stated smiling so that his fang like tooth grazed the bottom of his lip. The crowd began to murmur: "I bet he's just lonely in the underworld" one goddess suggested, "I bet he has unsavory intentions" another God added.

Till listened to the buzz of the Gods judging Ivan. He remembered when he took "history of the Gods", he paid little attention to the class but always remembered the anti God of the underworld rhetoric they pushed, stating he was banished for the good of the Gods. Till couldn't help feel a bit of sympathy for Ivan sure he could be a bit creepy looking with his dead black eyes and intimidating aura... but he didn't seem that bad, mainly just annoying.

Till was snapped out of his thoughts when he saw Ivan walking towards him, he contemplated running out the room but quickly realized he was cornered surrounded by fellow Gods on every side. Ivan appeared before him and bowed down "Will you please allow me to court you formally?" He questioned. The murmur of the Gods got louder at this as they desperately tried to recall Tills identity, Till couldn't stand being the center of attention in moments like these.

Desperately he looked around looking from an escape from the situation when he saw a familiar lock of pink hair. Mizi was smiling at him looking overjoyed, next to her stood Sua her wife who courted her a couple of years ago, she looked unimpressed with the whole ordeal going on in front of her, choosing to watch her girlfriend intently over watching the chaos unfolding in front of her. Till attempted to signal to Mizi to grab her attention but the pink haired goddess only responded with a thumbs up, beaming even wider at him.

Till did understand why she looked so happy for him, minor Gods usually didn't have a say in marriage, they were often married off as political tools to create alliances between higher Gods. Most marriages in Olympus weren't happy ones, it was rare for people who married for political reasons between God's to feel any kind of love between each other, especially between a higher and lower God. It was if the lower God became the highers property, Highers Gods were generally unpleasant to be around, Luka was the perfect example of one.

TIll snapped out of his daze of thought to Ivan waiting patiently in front of him for his answer, "Okay..." He finally answered tentatively "only if you agree to my terms as well though" he watched as Ivan displayed a childlike happiness to his agreement. The Gods around them began clapping, Till hated situations like this, he knew all the clapping was fake and only out of curiosity- he wished the Gods would just be honest. God's were all selfish by nature anyways is what Till has learnt.

Till felt a hand grab his and begin dragging him towards a quieter part of the hall, he was glad to see the person dragging him had familiar pink hair. When she finally let go she turned to face him and squeeled "I'm so happy for you, how'd you guys meet?" She asked, most likely expecting a long background to Ivan's choice to court him as her and Sua had. "Erm, like a couple hours ago" Till replied sheepishly, watching the surprise appear on Mizi's face. "Sooo do you like him" she tried to continue cheerful, clearly slightly puturbed by Till's lack of excitement towards the situation. "He's annoying but he's the best option I have" Till responded, knowing Mizi understands the fate most minor Gods had in marriage. "Oh here he comes I better go-", Till watched as Mizi ran back towards where Sua was looking bored without her wives presence.

"Hi" said Ivan as he stood in front Till, stretching out his hand for him to grab it, the God of spring slapped it away and responded, "so to your courting or whatever bullshit, some rules: one no touching, two no general freakishness, three I'm not going to the underworld, I don't want to go to literal hell thanks" he finished looking up at Ivan. "Fine by me" he responded, "is that all, my prince" he said winking. Till gagged at this "AND NO PET NAMES" he yelled storming off from Ivan embarrassed at the name he called him.

The Gods were starting to depart from the Hall, meaning it was an acceptable time for Till to finally leave. He slipped out, hoping not to run into Ivan as he left, for once fate seemed to be on his side as he saw no creepy black eyes following his every move.

Till arrived in the mortal world and went to his comfort bar, it was run by his closet friend Hyuna, the only human who knew he was a God. He sat down on one of the red stools watching Hyuna work at the bar. "Hey, Babe how was today?" she asked getting him his regular cider. "I'm probably getting married" he muttered. Hyuna nearly dropped the bottle of cider "Married???, is this freaky God shit what", she looked at him in disbelief trying to figure out if he was joking. "Yeah some annoying ass God is courting me but it's whatever I just wanna forget about it". Hyuna got the message that Till wasn't in the state to discuss it so began making small talk about their bands upcoming single.

Once Till got home he was completely drunk, he fumbled with the keys in his door and slowly pushed it open. He stared at his table in disbelief, there was a gorgeous vase of lilies in the middle with a note attached to them. He read the note it read 'How about a date at 3pm tomorrow, I'll come to your place ;)' Till shivered reading it not bothering to question how Ivan already figured out his address and favorite flowers. Despite what some people may think God's are not all knowing, but maybe Ivan was when it came to Till. He sighed and threw the letter aside deciding he'll deal with the problem tomorrow.

He ventured into his bedroom and his mouth fell open at the site before him, there was a kitten on his bed with another note, 'I heard you like cats :p'. "Bastard" Till muttered to himself smiling at how stupid the gesture was, "How am I supposed to take care of you" Till mused at the cat as it meowed up at him. "For now I'm just gonna call you Navi" he said to the cat as if it would understand, he climbed into bed not quite hating the idea of him and Ivan's date tomorrow.

Notes:

Haii so I will update idk how regularly though as I'm drowning in uni reading :C

Next chapter we have a date though!!!!!

Chapter 3: The date!!!

Till woke up to the feeling of patting on his side, he grumbled as he awoke slowly opening his eyes. his ears were flooded with a faint buzzing sound, oh right he had a kitten now. He had no idea how to look after animals, the closest he'd ever got to looking after animals was feeding the fish in Hyuna's apartment.

He decided it would be best to rummage around his fridge in case he had any spare meat that wouldn't be too heavy on the kittens stomach. He found a few strips of chicken and pulled it out and put a few pieces into his hand. Carefully, he bent down watching as Navi gave an approving sigh and began eating the meat from his hand. Till smiled watching the small creature greedily eat all the food it was offered, tentatively he reached to pat the creatures head, Navi purred up into his hand contently pawing at his leg in a show of affection.

Now Till had to deal with the real problem, the upcoming date with Ivan. He checked the clock to see it was currently 12pm, giving him 3 hours to physically and mentally prepare for the upcoming date. He sat down of the sofa watching as Navi climbed up into his lap and curled into a ball drifting into sleep.

Till flicked through his phone looking at nothing in particular, doing his daily doom scroll. The Gods surprisingly had a social media platform it was called "Olympus mail" probably one of the least creative names. It was used similarly to the human app Twitter, the God's would use it to cause discourse and spread rumors about one another.

As he scrolled through Olympus mail his heart dropped, the video of Ivan standing in front of him asking to court him had gone viral, even demi-gods were interested in this new gossip. Till clicked on the comments to see speculations about him and how he managed to catch the heart of the most notorious God. As soon as Till saw the top comment was from Luka he slammed his phone down on the table in front of him, making Navi jump and eye him suspiciously. Till didn't even want to know what Luka said, he imagined it would be some pompous bullshit that made Till sound like a disease.

Till looked up at his clock and jumped at the revelation of the time, he had 10 minutes until Ivan said he was turning up for their date. He prayed that the other God would forget or be too busy to turn up to whatever he was planning, but that was highly unlikely given his character.

"Fuck" Till yelled as Ivan materialized in front of him invading his personal space, "Don't do that, knock like a normal person I beg of you" he deadpanned looking up at Ivan. "My apologizes it's been so long since I entered the Human realm basic manners must have slipped my mind" He replies smirking. Till had a feeling that Ivan hadn't in fact forgotten basic manners but just wanted the chance to get a reaction out of Till, something told him that he'd never learn to use the door to his apartment.

"I can't believe you got me a kitten", he pointed at Ivan accusingly "how am I supposed to take care of this little guy" he continued while stroking Navi. "He seems quite fond of you, when I brought him he hissed at me and clawed my back" he answered, completely ignoring Till's question, watching Till interact with the small creature. Till smirked at Ivan's confession, taking the small win of beating him to the cute animals affections.

"Would you like to head out now?" Ivan questioned, waiting for Till to answer. "Yeah, better then standing around here" he muttered, "and put your wings away, in case you haven't noticed humans don't have them".

"Where are we going?" Till questioned following along beside Ivan who was being suspiciously quiet for his standards. "You'll see" Ivan responded looking too cheery for Till's liking. Finally the came to stop outside a small team rooms, Till couldn't deny the exterior was beautiful. It has vines and flowers crawling up the front, Till gathered the must have left the mortal realm at some point as he watches pegasuses grazing in the grass opposite, their pearly white features coating the edges of the field.

Ivan opened the door beckoning Till inside, the interior was homely, it smelt like rich herbal teas and delicious pastries. Behind the counter sat an elderly lady, who smiled seeing them enter her Tea rooms. "Welcome back, Ivan" she said smiling at him, Ivan returned the smile waving at her, Till sensed that the two of them had known each other for a while, judging by the old ladies appearance she was probably an aged demi God who came here to settle.

Ivan led Till to a table and they both sat down, Till fidgeted uncomfortably feeling out of his element, he had no idea how dates usually went between God's. "What would you like?" Ivan questioned handing Till a copy of the menu, the menu was on parchment decorated with beautiful mosaics and patterns, it looked like it should be a medieval scroll rather then a menu for a cafe. Till read through the menu but was unfamiliar with most the names, food often had different names in the mortal realm to the Godly world.

"Whatever you recommend", Till replied not sure which of the pastries would be the best to try, Ivan nodded and got up to greet the elderly lady behind the counter. He watched as the two of them conversed trying to pick up on bits of their conversation, it was mostly small talk until he saw the old women lean over to whisper something into Ivan's ear, he'd be lying if he said he wasn't curious what she said.

Finally, their conversation came to an end and Till watched as Ivan brought their food and drinks back to the table. "Have you known the owner for a while?" Till enquired, hoping to get more information out of Ivan about his life and relationships. "Yes, I come to this place often, the owner, her name is Linda. She's been running it for some time now, I remember when she just started out... She struggled to get customers to come, most of the Gods disliked how humble this place is." He responded, "I enjoy coming to this place though, it gives me a break and only ever me and a few demi gods really use it" he finished, handing Till a fork to eat the cake he brought him.

Tentatively, Till tried his cake, it tasted like berries. He couldn't tell what kind though so he assumed they were a type that only grew in the realms of the Gods, despite being the God of spring Till didn't know that much about Godly botany.

They made small talk while they were eating with Ivan enquiring about his life in the human realm, Till told him about his passion for music and his band, they briefly spoke about Hyuna with Till explaining she was the only human who knew his identity as a God and was glad she never spoke to him differently because of it. By the time they were both finished eating Till was getting slightly annoyed about the fact Ivan learnt loads about him but he didn't seem to learn anything about the life Ivan had lead so far.

"Would you like to continue our date visiting the pegasuses?" Ivan enquired leading Till out the cafe. Till's face instantly lit up at the mention of the creatures, he loved how beautiful they were, but he'd rather die then admit his love for the creatures. Unfortunately, Ivan noticed and raised an eyebrow smirking at him. "We don't have to see them... Ugh if you insist" Till quickly added, trying his best to look disinterested in Ivan and the creatures, Ivan laughed knowingly at this and led Till towards them. "Your so annoying" Till muttered, "so I've heard" replied Ivan smiling even wider.

Chapter 4: Date and Hyuna

Till approached one of the pegasus in the field smiling as it bowed it's head, signalling to Till that it was okay to touch it. Slowly Till raked his hand through it's soft white first, watching as it's spread it's wings in approval: shaking it's head from side to side.

Ivan watched Till from the corner of the field, pegasus weren't fond of this presence due to him living in the underworld, they felt the force of the souls upon him. He watched as Till bent down and placed his hand to the ground creating an aray of beautiful flowers, they ranged from red roses to blue foxgloves. Ivan marveled at the flowers and decided the black plumeria was his favorite, he made a mental note to ask Till about it later.

Till got off the ground and headed back towards Ivan, he never usually used his God powers but the field looked so empty without flowers. Ivan smiled at him as he approached, "You better pay for the cat food" Till yelled.

Once they were back in the mortal realm Ivan brought Till back to a pet store and brought more things then Till could physically carry. He brought cat toys, arrays of different cat food in case "one upset the cats stomach", and a cute cat bed that was shaped like a bunny that weirdly resembled Ivan.

By the time they arrived back at Till's apartment it was late, the stars were visible in the sky and the moon illuminated the streets. Till let both him and Ivan into his apartment, when they opened the door they were greeted by the meowing of Navi who looked as thrilled as cats can that Till was back.

Till sat the bed they brought down and watched as the cat hopped right in, curling up into a ball in the bed, Till laid down the plushies and toys they brought next to the cat, watching as Navi snuggled closely into a plush.

"Did you enjoy today?" Ivan asked looking at Till like a lost puppy who relied on his affections. "Yes" Till answered honestly too tired to reply anymore then that, Ivan smiled softly at his answer, Till couldn't help but blush slightly at how genuine the smile felt.

"I need to go now, I'll see you as soon as possible, being the God of the underworld and all, I'll call you often though" Ivan said winking, causing Till to mock gag at the display. "How do you even have signal in Hell" Till asked bewildered that the underworld would have signal and Internet, because who would think that. "That's for me to know" he said smirking as he waved and evaporated from the room, leaving an empty feeling in the room.

Till sighed and opened his phone to see a message from Hyuna, it read 'Hey looser, you wanna meet at the bar tommos ????? I met someone and I wanna tell you abt them ;p' Till quickly shot back 'bet' as a response to her message and put his phone back down.

--The next day--

Till woke the next day and decided to focus on getting ready to meet Hyuna at the bar. He grabbed his eyeliner and began drawing his wings and colouring his waterline to create the edgy eye make up he usually liked. He threw on a baggy band T-shirt and cargos, he mused at how different he dressed in the human world, when he was amongst godly territory he had to dress appropriately which usually meant long garments usually resembling togas.

He slipped on his combat boots and left his house, he began waking towards the familiar pub that has become like a second home to him.

He slipped through the door and began pacing around trying to find Hyuna, he spotted her as she enthusiastically waved at him from afar, rocking the table with her antics. Till sat down at the table and greeted at her, they began talking about life and the various things they'd done since they last saw each other.

"So I met a guy", Hyuna started, Till was worried about this topic Hyuna never dated anyone who was actually good for her. "He was a really pretty blonde chick, thought he was gay for a bit" she continued, Till nodding along to show her that he was still listening. "But yeah we have a date coming up this ones looking promising" she said beaming at Till.

"As long as he makes you happy" Till responded, trying to sound as enthusiastic as possible about the topic not to upset his friend , "I had my first date actually" Till said the ghost of a smile forming on his lips, Hyuna noded signalling for him to give more information about the date he had, "He took me to a Tea room it was nice... Oh right he got me a cat-"

"OH SHIT YOU LIKE HIM", Hyuna yelled, causing Till to go bright red and begin frantically shaking his head, "Fuck off, no I don't" he replied his voice an octave higher then he was intending. Hyuna gave him and knowing look and simply went "whatever you say babes", after this they went back to their usual chat and banta discussing band gossip and other topics that interested the both of them.

Till's phone buzzed with a notification, Hyuna being the nosy friend she is grabbed his phone and read the message, 'I love you so much my emo disaster, when can we go kiss, and make love' she said in a sing-song voice making Till look horrified "It does NOT say that" he snapped turning bright red again, he snatched the phone to read the real message.

It read 'Hi this is Ivan <33. I texted you so you have my number, feel free to text me when your bored, I'll try to respond when I'm not sorting souls in the underworld.' Till quickly saved the number as Ivan in his phone and switched his phone off before Hyuna could make anymore teasing comments.

The rest of the night they spent together was fairly uneventful, they finished yapping and departed from the bar. Hyuna had asked him at one point if he was planning on visiting the underworld, he told her no but he couldn't admit he was somewhat curious, especially since if he did eventually marry Ivan he would have to spend a decent amount of time there out of expectation.

He decided at some point despite the initial agreement he'd ask Ivan to take him to the underworld for a bit, he wondered if it would be as grim as people who spoke about it would try to make out it was.

Once he got home he fed Navi some of the expensive food that Ivan had brought, watching as he greedily gulped down the food like he was starved, which he was definitely not. The least Till would do is make sure his cat was well fed.

Till began contemplating wether he should text Ivan about his request to see the underworld, if he was completely honest he wanted to see Ivan go about his work as well, he was curious what he did in the underworld. "Should I text him Navi?" He asked, surprisingly the cat meowed in response, he took this as a sign to send Ivan a message.

Till <33: Hi can I see the underworld

Notes:

Hiii, so uploads will probably be slower after this one TvT

But would y'all prefer short chapters like I'm doing now and quicker updates or longer chapters which means longer updates but obvs longer chapters ???

Thank you for reading :p

Chapter 5

*read*

.....

Ivan: Sure ;)

Till sighed putting his phone down, trying not to let his mind drift to the thought of going on another date with the god of the underworld.

Till woke up to the sound of knocking at his door, when he finally opened the door he made sure to make a show of his anger. "Hah?" He said opening the door to a man standing with a bag that looked like it was full with pastries. "It's a delivery for Till, sir", said the man timidly, passing the bag over to Till who took it, looking apologetic at the man for his show of annoyance, "Thanks" Till grumbled as he took the bag back into the house.

Till peered into the bag to see an array of different pastries ranging from Danish buns to cinnamon swirls, he suspected he knew who was behind putting the order through. He picked up his phone and shit Ivan a text that read 'I can make myself breakfast y'know, asshole', he felt slightly bad for being ungrateful so decided to send another message that read 'Thank you ig'. He began nibbling on the pastries, putting the left overs in the fridge not wanting to waste any food, he'd never admit it to Ivan but the pastries were definitely better then any food he had in the apartment.

Till having no plans for the day decided that he should probably actually attend to some of his own duties as a God, although being the God of spring does help as he usually doesn't have much to do outside of spring. Due to it currently being autumn he didn't have to travel to Olympus a lot as his duties were much smaller in this month.

When he arrived at Olympus he instantly realized the amount of attention the God's around the building were giving him, muttering faintly to each other. Till usually didn't care what others thought of him but he couldn't help but feel nervous with all the eyes he felt bearing into him.

"Are you the evil God's bride", a timid voice said behind him, he whirled round to see a young God standing behind him. "What the fuc- I mean frick, one no I'm a man how can I be a bride, two who told you he was the evil God?" Till answered bewildered at the statement, looking at the small God.

"My mommy says-" she started, only for a Goddess to appear to pick her up, give Till an apologetic look and scramble off with what Till assumed was her Child. He was left disoriented by the encounter, confused as to why such a young child knew about a situation completely irrelevant to them, he never understood the fascination with gossip.

As Till continued through Olympus he decided the muttering as he passed wasn't that bad, what he couldn't stand were the pitying looks various God's were giving him, like he was some charity case.

Finally, Till arrived at his station of Olympus, it gave him a view of how the transition of spring to autumn goes, he sighed in relief of the fact no other Gods could enter this area. He went about his duties checking the crop yields were correct for the month and the transitions had been going smoothly between seasons. Often he would be able to view the human world interacting with the seasons from his area, he watched as he was shown two young children playing amongst the leaves, giggling between each other. He couldn't help but smile at them.

Once he was done with his duties he rushed out of Olympus hoping not to catch the attention of many Gods on the way out. At some point Till realized he must have took a wrong turn as he ended up outside a large set of unfamiliar doors that had gold leaves running up it's frame, he noticed the door was slightly ajar.

Out of curiosity he decided to poke his head around the door, inside he saw a sight he was not prepared for. Ivan and Luka were standing together discussing something he couldn't hear well, he tried to lean closer to listen in but couldn't make out their muffled voices. He half contemplated storming in and asking what they were talking about, feeling annoyed that Ivan would willingly spend time with someone as jarring as Luka.

Till's mind began racing with possible scenarios they could be talking about, none of the ideas he was coming up with seemed good to him. He decided to leave before his brain could come up with anymore wild ideas as to why the two God's were conversing.

----

Once Till got home he flopped onto his bed, he knew he had to deal with what he witnessed but didn't feel like going about it the mature way (texting Ivan). So instead he swiped away the notification from Ivan, not giving himself the chance to read it in case it made him want to text the God.

Notes:

Short chapter today to build suspense of what Ivan and Luka were talking about :0

Chapter 6

It had been three days since Till had decided to ignore Ivan, out of what he knew deep down was pettiness. Realistically Ivan had done nothing, it wasn't like Luka had done anything that bad, but Till pushed down the thoughts telling him that his decision to ignore Ivan was completely irrational.

Till had plans to go meet with Hyuna today, he asked her to meet up yesterday to clear his head and attempt to get her to affirm he wasn't acting insane.

He arrived at the their usual bar before Hyuna so decided to take a seat by the window which allowed him to watch the crowds of people go past. He began tapping his fingers of the table, making a mental note of the beat in case it was something he could work from later.

Till spotted Hyuna approaching the table he was seated at- she almost looked too happy, suspiciously happy. Now it wasn't that Till wasn't glad to see his friends happy but the expression on Hyuna's face was telling him that something was going on, he wasn't exactly sure if he was going to like what that thing was.

"Guess what?" Hyuna asked enthusiastically, looking up at Till as she actually expected him to make a list of guesses, knowing Hyuna the answer could range from her fish dying to her getting a hit single that tops the charts. "What?" Till responded, more fearful then excited for the answer.

"I brought someone along for you to meet!" She responded somehow getting even more excited then she already was. "Please don't freak out at him, he's shy, he takes a bit to warm up to people..
He can be a bit clingy too but don't mind that..." Till wrinkled his nose as she carried on, it sounded more like she was describing some animal then an actual person. "Who exactly is this person?" He enquired snapping Hyuna out her daze describing some kind of animal.

"Oh! It's the person I'm seeing!" She responded, "You usually don't like my choice in partners soooo I brought this one to show you early." Till started to feel a tad sorry for whoever the partner was, first they were described like an animal and next Hyuna was acting like she brought them for show and tell.

Hyuna told Till that she was going to go grab him now, when they rounded the corner to come into Till's sight his face dropped. He in fact did not feel sorry at all for Hyuna's partner as he was met face to face with Luka, the last person he was expecting to see.

Hyuna must have noticed Till's not so subtle change in demeaner and gave him a quizzical look, confused to why he was looking at Luka as id he wanted to have him publicly executed. "Are you okay?" Hyuna asked as Luka clung onto her arm like his life depended on it.

Till contemplated his answer, he had no idea how to handle the situation- on one hand he could pretend not to know Luka or he could reveal his identity. "We have history." Till settled on answering as Luka batted his eyelashes up at Hyuna, somehow getting impossibly closer to her.

"What kind of history?" Hyuna asked her smile faltering slightly causing Till to feel a little guilty at his declaration of knowing Luka. Before Till could answer Luka swept in to answer, "We knew each other in high school, I could tease Till here a bit more then he can handle... I always assumed he was less sensitive then he was." He said trying his best to look guilty and honest to Hyuna.

"Oh! That makes sense, yeah Till's always been a sensitive soul really, he cries at movies and shit." Hyuna said causing Till to scowl, it pissed him off more to see how delighted Luka looked, realizing he could use this opportunity to get embarrassing information about Till.

Till was annoyed at the situation, Luka's lie wasn't even convincing, Till is over two hundred as a young God- Hyuna often lacked common sense in situations like these. The worst part about the whole ordeal was how utterly delighted Luka looked getting dirt on Till while snuggling up to Hyuna.

"I'm gonna use the bathroom real quick." Hyuna said getting up and leaving the table leaving towards the women's rest rooms. "What are you doing here?" Till snapped at Luka while he had the opportunity. "I happen to be quite fond of your friend, I assure you I'm much more upset about you being her" Luka responded dryly looking at his nails with disinterest.

"Did you do this whole thing just to get at me?" Till asked exasperated, angry and confused at the God across from him. "Do you really think I give that much thought to someone as unimportant as you" Luka sighed, watching the door to the female restroom, clearly hoping Hyuna would come back.

"Why her?" Till pointed accusingly, Luka didn't even give him an answer and simply rolled his eyes. His face lit up when he saw the door to the restroom open and Hyuna walk out, "Aww look at you two getting on" she declared completely miss judging the situation between them, Luka nodded pathetically trying to find any way to get her affection.

Till decided he'd had enough of the gross display Luka was presenting in front of him and told Hyuna he was leaving, he said goodbye to Hyuna and gave Luka the dirtiest look he could muster causing the man to giggle at him. Till decided once he got home he must text Ivan to find out what was actually going on with Luka.

When Till finally got back home he swung the door open to see a figure on his sofa, it looked like he didn't need to text Ivan after all. When he stepped inside and locked the door he met the gaze of the God, shivering at the intensity of it.

"Did you really think you could ignore me for that long?" Ivan pouted, although the other man played it off as a joke Till could sense the hurt behind his words causing him to feel a little guilty. "Sorry" he said only just loud enough for Ivan to hear, "I saw you in a room with Luka and freaked out." He confessed going red at how pathetic the whole situation made him look.

"You saw that?" Ivan asked, as Till nodded "It was weird he was asking me about one of the friends you've mentioned, he basically asked me to stalk her through you... I haven't seen him so crazy in a while." Till felt even more embarrassed at ignoring his future spouse after hearing what they were talking about.

Awkwardly, Till moved next to the sofa unsure of how to respond to Ivan. Luckily, Navi seemed to sense the tension and began meowing and purring around Till's legs diverting both their attention to the cute animal, after Till fed the cat him and Ivan resumed their usual discussions.

By the time their conversation was beginning to come to a close Till realized it was nearly 3am, the tiredness hit him like a truck. "Can we go to the underworld soon?" Till asked rubbing his eyes, Ivan smiled softly. "Does Friday work?" Ivan asked, Till nodded not having much energy to continue the conversation.

What happened next surprised both Ivan and Till as Till hugged Ivan and gave him a small kiss on the cheek, once Till realized what he had done he was horrified. Ivan was bright pink with blush, "I- I'm going to bed please leave" Till stated scurrying out the room diving into his bed, praying that sleep saved him from his actions.

Chapter 7

When Till woke up he was flooded with memories from the other day, he was praying he was just part of some elementary kids story and it was suddenly going to go 'and it was all a dream'. His head throbbed even thinking about the interactions he had with Luka. Even worse he kissed Ivan.

He actually kissed that asshole, he must have gone insane. Worst of all he knew he was going to see Ivan today and he could already sense the gloating Ivan was going to be doing, Till knew he's never gonna shut up about it.

He decided that he was going to put a decent effort Into his outfit today so pulled out his nicest pair of cargos that fit smugly on his waist and went well with his new rock boots. He pulled on a black crop top and grabbed a few rings from his draw, putting a couple on each finger. He did his usual messy eyeliner, covering up any potential sign of tiredness around his eyes. He looked in the mirror and decided he looked decent, less disastrous then usually anyway which was good enough for him.

He began pacing around his apartment, nervous to see Ivan after yesterday, the fact he didn't know the time he was coming only added to his stress. He tried to distract himself by playing some notes on his guitar, testing out different melodies that came to his head- music always helped him clear his head when he was stressed. He began loosing track of time strumming different notes to work out which fitted best together, changing the key to see which would display the emotional tone of the song he was writing best.

"I didn't know you could play a guitar" said a voice snapping Till out of his daze, Till instantly went red taking in the figure looming over him. "Do you have to be so close" hissed Till, sliding slightly down his seat to create distance between him and Ivan. "You didn't seem to mind yesterday" Ivan said smirking at him, making Till go impossibly redder.

"Don't mention that" He hissed, his voice barely audible as he shrunk further into himself. "What that you were all over me last night", he said in a sultry voice staring straight at Till.

"DON'T SAY IT LIKE THAT", Till yelled wanting to melt into the sofa he was currently dying on, he was certain this was going to be his last day on earth and the mortal realm. Not that dying would even help with Ivan being the God of the underworld, there was no way to escape the man in front of him. Ivan giggled at Till's antics watching his mind work as his blush coated his whole face, his eyes were fixed out his outfit though, was his waist always that slim? He thought to himself, pushing away any indecent thoughts he has out of respect for the other.

"To the underworld?" Ivan enquired, deciding Till had probably had enough teasing for now. Till nodded reluctantly and got up from where he was sitting, still barely able to look Ivan in the eye.

"How do we even get there?" Till asked out of curiosity, as he had no idea what the process of arriving at literal hell would be like. "Well we can either go through one of the gates or teleport there", he answered casually grinning at Till.

"How do we teleport there", Till enquired, being unable to teleport himself, he wished he could though it would be so much less of a hassle getting to Olympus that way. "You have told hold on to me, give me your hand", replied Ivan- tentatively Till reached to grasp Ivan's hand, embarrassed how even an act as vanilla as this caused him to blush faintly.

The next thing Till knew was that he was in an unfamiliar environment, it was like nothing he'd ever seen before, he wouldn't say it was exactly unpleasant though. He expected the underworld to be far gloomier but was surprised by the beautiful river that ran through it, where souls were congregated on the banks dancing around with each other.

"That's the river styx, I'm sure you've heard of it", Ivan stated watching Till's enamoured face gape at the sights around him, the underworld was beautiful, the souls were a gorgeous shade of blue and radiates warmth despite them being deceased. Till always assumed the underworld would be a much gloomier place, filled with suffering.

"It's really pretty", Said Till still taking in all the sights of the place in front of him. "Would you like a tour?" Ivan asked, waiting for Till's response, he nodded and they both began walking along the side of the river. Till pretended not to notice that him and Ivan were still holding hands from the teleporting but he wouldn't let Ivan know that.

"It's pretty big so we probably won't see much today, and I don't think you'd want to see tatarus", explained Ivan, watching Till's focus and expressions change when he spotted a new interesting thing. Till hummed in response smiling softly to himself, he could honestly get used to living here- not that he was planning to actually marry Ivan soon.

Eventually, they approached Ivan's residence in the underworld, "why the fuck do you live in a whole ass castle", Till asked, gasping at the gothic architecture coating the walls of the building. "I like the vibe", replied Ivan simply, leading Till into his home, the inside was drastically different from the exterior. The furniture was minimalist and sleek, everything was paradoxical to the gothic grand exterior, you'd think that the inside was a completely different building.

"How big is this place anyway?" Till asked breaking the comfortable silence they had
"Pretty big", replied Ivan "There's 4 bedrooms, a hot springs, library, a records studio, about 10 empty rooms, and more"

"I wanna watch something" Till stated, wanting to relax after spending most the day exploring around the underworld, all the walking was staring to kill his feet. "Alright the main room with the TV is this way" Ivan said, leading Till through the maze of a house? Castle? He owned.

Finally, they got to the room and Till practically jumped onto the soft cushions emerseing himself in their warmth. Ivan followed and flicked the TV on, he bagan scrolling through channels until he eventually settled on a completion of cute animals. "Your so soft for the literal god of death", Till accused rolling his eyes, secretly finding it endearing that the other had such a love for cute animals. "I like cats because they remind me of you" Ivan chided poking at Till.

Till rolled his eyes not having the energy to deny the comparison. Although the underworld was pleasant Till couldn't help but find it cold, so decided to try and slip closer to Ivan to steal his heat without him noticing.

"Are you cold?" Ivan asked somehow picking up Till's signals that he was cold. "Yeah and your hot so don't think anything of this, I still think your an asshole", Till responded as he shuffled to lay his head on Ivan's chest, Till couldn't help but blush at how firm it felt beneath him. "Wow I never thought you'd be so forward in admitting I'm hot" Ivan teased, waiting for a reaction from the other.

"Not that kind of hot you insufferable dick", Till responded, not budging from his position on Ivan. Feeling content basking in the warmth the other produced. Till felt one of Ivan's arms slip to grab his waist, Till assured himself if he wasn't so cold he would have definitely smacked his hand away. This was all because he was cold.

But despite this Till couldn't deny he was utterly fucked, he liked the annoying ass God he was lying atop of.

Notes:

Haii I'm back with a new chapter wooo :p

Chapter 8

Ivan looked down to see that Till was sleeping peacefully in his lap, his hair falling down his face as he let out soft sighs. He watched how his eyelashes fluttered, he looked angelic in this state to Ivan, it was rare to see him so docile.

The show that they had on in the background came to a close and Ivan clicked the TV off, he tried to pick Till up to carry him to one of the guest bedrooms but the silver haired God began to stir. He watched as Till stretched his legs out still in his arms and his eyelids began opening.

Till screamed and the next thing he knew he was on the floor, he did not expect to wake up and be met with Ivan's face in such close proximity to him. "What the hell" he mumbled as he stared angrily at Ivan, well as angrily as he could manage while properly waking up. Ivan giggled to himself as Till rolled about on the floor complaining about being woken up and the proximity between him and Ivan. "Your the one who fell asleep on me", Ivan stated looking down at Till who scowled in response, finally picking himself up off the floor.

"What time is it", Till asked, his voice still hinting at his annoyance of being woken up and groggy with sleep. "It's about 12am" Ivan responded, grinning at Till who still seemed fairly disoriented. "Fuck I'm not that tired now" responded Till as he tried to figure out what he was going to do to entertain himself until he got tired again.

"Do you wanna try the hot springs?" Asked Ivan As if he was reading his mine, Till couldn't deny the hot springs did sound relaxing. "Sure but not being weird okay?" Till responded.

"If you don't want me there then-", "NO", Till responded both too quickly and loudly, Ivan looked taken aback by his response but quickly went back to smirking at him. "It's not that, it's just it would be unfair to kick you out your own hot springs," He giggled, screaming internally about how deranged he sounded, embarrassing himself completely in front of his new found crush.

Thankfully, Ivan didn't tease him more about it which made Till feel slightly less mortified by his own actions, clearly Ivan's presence just made him stupid. They began making their way to the hot springs, they didn't speak while walking but the silence was a comfortable one where they both felt relaxed in the presence of the other.

Eventually, they reached the room of the hot springs and ventured in; Till felt like he'd been teleported, the room had multiple taps that cascaded into a mini fountain spilling into the spring. Different textures of wood and rock crowded the room, making each bit of the spring unique, the spring itself was coloured a vibrant blue but had swirls of pastel colours in it, as if a bath bomb had been dropped in.

"It's beautiful", Till stated as he took in all of the environment around him with a childlike curiosity. "I'm glad you like it", Ivan replied softly smiling at Till, the gentleness in his tone made Till's heart flutter a bit and a small blush crept onto his face.

"Turn around while I take my robe off", Till demanded, not wanting Ivan to watch him strip. Ivan complied with little complaint turning away from Till to respect his privacy not wanting to upset his future spouse. Till left his underwear on not wanting to be completely naked in a close proximity to Ivan.

He emersed himself into the water, appreciating how the warmth enveloped him the further he delved into the water, watching as the pastel colours swirled around him. "I'm in the water now" Till stated as he relaxed in the spring, watching the waterfall out of the corner of his eye.

"Can I come in?" Ivan enquired, watching as the water droplets rolled down Till's shoulders back into the water. "Yes I guess" Till grumbled in response, clearly not wanting to be disturbed whilst relaxing in the water. Till did not expect Ivan to begin stripping while he was still looking at him, he squeaked and turned bright red covering his face with his hands.

"Something wrong?" Ivan asked, Till could hear the smirk in his voice as he continued to undress. Till removed his hands from his face as he heard the water move as Ivan was getting into the spring, he watched as Ivan approached him trying not to look at his well built frame. He couldn't help but blush as he caught sight of him, he was glad he could blame his redness on the warmth of the spring.

"Show off" Till murmured, feeling slightly conscious of his own small frame when next to Ivan. "What was that?" Ivan asked, Till didn't expect him to hear him so he just rolled his eyes in response to the other.

"Don't you ever get lonely in the underworld?" Till asked, realizing that now might be his chance to obtain more information about Ivan. "I guess sometimes", he responded "It's okay though I can talk to the souls passing through, the field of Elysium is pleasant too... I'm glad I have you now though". Both the God's blushed at Ivan's words, they were rarely that openly affectionate with one another, preferring to tease and yell at the other in conversation.

"Hmm, what's your favorite thing to do in your spare time?" Till asked, trying to think of more potential questions that he could ask Ivan. "Well, I enjoy reading a fair amount- apart from that I'm not too sure though", he answered, Till nodded in response.

Till continued asking Ivan questioned, which he answered in various levels of detail, he found out a range of things about the God. Most surprisingly he admitted he had a phase of listening to emo music as well which surprised Till, he couldn't help but laugh at the idea of the other listening to my chemical romance or Paramore.

"You look so pretty" Ivan commented randomly, making Till blush and mutter a series of incoherent words, he wasn't used to Ivan's direct manor of giving affection. "You look okay too" Till settled on responding finally, Ivan's face lit up like a kid on Christmas day, Till couldn't help finding it cute and endearing. Whilst they were speaking the two God's drifted closer to each other, finding comfort in the closeness of the others presence.

"Can I break rule one of your rules?" Ivan asked, Till looked at him confused not remembering the rules he laid out for courting. "What do you-" Till responded but was cut off by Ivan placing his hands on his waist and giving him a chaste kiss. Till went nonverbal for a few seconds after, trying to process what just happened.

"If your gonna kiss me do it properly" Till taunted, smirking up at Ivan deciding that he didn't care about his dignity any longer. Ivan moved his hands up and down his waist caressing his side as he began slowly kissing Till's lips. Till was surprised about how soft and gentle Ivan was kissing him, until he began nibbling his bottom lip making him gasp, as he did Ivan took the opportunity to slip his tongue in his mouth. He began exploring the depths of his mouth as Till attempted to reciprocate, feeling overwhelmed by the sensation of the other lapping the inside of his mouth with fever.

Eventually they broke apart gasping for air, a string of saliva connecting them, both flushed bright red from what had just happened. The moments after the kiss were pleasant until a smirk crept onto Ivan's face, "was that better?" He asked in a sly tone. "No" Till responded, clearly lying making Ivan giggle at his response.

Notes:

Uni is killing me chat

Hope y'all liked the chapter <33

Chapter 9

The next day Till was still attempting to get over his decisions that have led him to his current position. Sure, Till had kissed people before he wasn't some high schooler having their first kiss- but this was different! Ivan is his future spouse that's why he's getting so worked up over the kisses they shared, plus Ivan might as well have devoured him the way he kissed him. It was the intensity that got to him.... Yeah... Definitely nothing about Ivan.

Speak of the devil Ivan waltzed into the room, making Till squeak at the unexpected entry. "So you can use doors", Till mocked, trying his best not to look at Ivan, worrying he'd go bright red if he did. "I never claimed that I didn't know how to use doors Till", he responded smirking at him.

Till scowled at him, "what are you even doing here?" He asked wondering why Ivan felt the need to burst into the room he was staying in. "If I do recall correctly this is my house", Ivan responded making Till scowl even more and roll his eyes.

"I thought you might like to have one last look around until you leave, I presume you wish to go back to the mortal realm, no?" Ivan finally responded, seemingly having enough of teasing Till. "Oh, right yeah", Till responded "Can I meet cerberus?" He enquired, remembering that he learnt about the beast in history of the Gods class.

"Sure, I'll take you back to the mortal realm after then", he responded. "I'll let you get dressed now" he added on as he watched Till struggle to get out of the comfort of his bed.

Till quickly thew on some of the clothes that were stored in the wardrobe, not bothering to question why there was clothes there already that were tailored to his exact size. He saw on the label the top even had a neck measurement, Till is pretty sure neck measurements aren't even a thing. He just put it down to Ivans weird fixation on everything being detailed correctly.

Once he left the room he was met with Ivan's face again, "I made some breakfast" he stated passing Till a couple of pieces of toast which he began eating realizing how hungry he was.

Eventually they both set off to leave, at some point the two of them intertwined their hands together, Till didn't remember when this happened. He was just glad the other God didn't comment on it or tease him like usual, he enjoyer small moments like this in the others comfort.

Finally they arrived in front of the gates that guarded the main entrance of the underworld, the gates themselves must have been about 30 feet tall. They were coated in more Gothic murals that fit the theme of the underworld, displaying scenes from famous events of history, the most impressive being the mural dedicated to the fight or Hector and Achilles.

The gates began to open as Ivan stood in front of them, Till had to admit it was a scene to behold, Ivan looked completely in his element and super ho-. Till stopped himself before finishing the thought remembering he was here to see Cerberus not to oogle at his future husband.

When the gate opened he caught site of the magnificent dog, it's fur midnight black, reflecting the light that bounced from other surfaces. He watched as the dog bowed to Ivan, surprised that it wasn't being well.. more dog like. "Can I touch him" Till asked, not sure how to act around the animal. "Yes" Ivan answered taking Till's hand and placing it on one of it's 3 heads.

Unsure of what to do Till began ruffling the fur of the beast, to his surprise it began letting out pleased noises and wagging its tail. "Wow it really is just a big dog" Till beamed.

"It is" Ivan affirmed, watching as Till began petting the other heads of the dog, making sure none of them felt left out. "Does he like to play fetch?" Till asked, his eyes lighting up slightly at the thought of playing with it. "Why would the garden of the underworld play-"

Ivan stopped mid sentence as he watched cerberus chase after a bag that Till had scrunched up into a ball. Ivan was completely lost for words, amazed at the emotions Till could bring out of everything he interacted with, he made everything seem so full of life to Ivan.

"You were saying" Till stated, giving him a toothy grin that made his heart light up. "You win this time I suppose" Ivan confirmed watching as Cerberus bounded back to Till dropping the scrunched up bag in front of him.

Till continued playing with the beast, whilst Ivan watched amused, never seeing Cerberus act the way he is now. Eventually, Cerberus and Till both seemed to get bored of playing fetch and Till returned to speak with Ivan.

"I'm glad I could see the underworld.... It was nice" Till concluded, "I'm so tired now".

"We shall go back to the mortal realm now so you can rest" Ivan responded as him and Till began the venture back to Till's house.

When they finally arrived Till flopped onto his sofa, "do you want to stay here for a bit?" Till asked Ivan, moving up the sofa to make room for him. "As much as I would love to I can't, business calls" he responds, trying not to show how upset he was about not being able to spend more time with Till, worried that it would make Till uncomfortable. "Oh, okay then see you" Till responded, looking a bit downcast.

Ivan quickly gave him a small kiss on his forehead and began to leave back for the underworld, dreading how lonely it would feel without Till's presence.

Chapter 10

Ivan returned to the underworld, it felt empty without Till's presence, he was already accustomed to feeling the other God in the underworld despite the fact he'd only stayed for a couple of days.

Time felt excruciatingly slow without being with his future husband by his side, every task felt like it was taking hours upon hours. When he wasn't doing little tasks, time felt even longer then that.

Everyday that Till would message, he felt bubbles of excitement, even if Till responded with simple yes or no it felt like the highlight of his day. His daily routine disrupted by the chime of Till's messages.

When Till suggested they should call to catch up, he was delighted, he could finally hear the voice he's been dying to hear again. He nearly dropped his phone when it began violently vibrating, buzzing none stop in his hands.

"Hello", he answered as he was met with a few curse words. "Shit, I just banged my hair on the cupboard door" Till complained, as a another string of curses followed. Ivan giggled, genuine laughter it was a reaction only Till could elicit from him. "So what did you need?" Ivan mused into the phone, enjoying Till's foul mouth as background noise.

"Um, right, yeah I have a gig with my band..." He began.

"When? Where?" Ivan butted in before he could finish, he would delight in the chance to see Till on stage, he imagined he'd be in the zone, completely in his natural habitat. Images of Till began popping into his head, dressed up in all kinds of stage outfits, he had to concentrate to stop his imagination before he began thinking with his dick.

"Um, like this Saturday so 3 days. It's at Hyuna's bar where we usually play". Till answered, he sounded slightly flustered by Ivan didn't notice due to being distracted by his thoughts.

"Can I come?" Ivan asked, doing his best not to sound too excited, he didn't want to scare Till after all. "Um yeah that's why I told you", Till responded something in his voice told Ivan that he was relieved he agreed.

"I can't wait to see you perform", he smiled into his phone, knowing time wouldn't come fast enough until the day he got to see his beloved. They began talking more, Till told him about how his days have been and Ivan listened intently. It always surprised Ivan how upset Till would get over barely knowing of his past, he couldn't understand why the other wanted to know about him, his life was far more interesting.

Eventually, Till ended up announcing that he was going to bed, leaving Ivan missing the traces of his partner. Ivan didn't even know how to define their relationship, Till didn't seem opposed to him now, but did he seem them as boyfriends or just husbands to be.

The days before Till's gig were the worst, even Cerberus seemed to notice something was up when he went to visit. He ended up licking him with 2 of its heads, while it was supposed to be affection Ivan couldn't help finding it a little gross at heart.

When the morning of Till's gig finally came around Ivan couldn't hold his excitement, it had been far too long since he'd seen him. Till had messaged him the location of the bar and sent him a curt 'don't be late' message. Ivan found it ironic as he'd rather die then be late, but Till didn't seem to understand that obsessive side of him yet somehow.

Ivan reached the surface world around 2 hours before the gig started. He decided to go and grab some things for Till after his gig as a congratulations and a gift since he hasn't seen him for so long. He went into a store and picked an expensive guitar pick which had red flowers coating it, he prayed that Till would like it.

After this he ventured to go and buy Till some flowers, he knew it was a cheesy gesture but Till was the God of spring after all- it was only fitting. He placed the box the guitar pick had been stored in into the middle of the flowers so they surrounded the midnight black box.

He began walking towards the venue as he killed enough time buying presents for Till, while he would teleport to the venue, he figured an ominous black figure appearing may throw some people off. Although it was a bar, maybe only a crackhead or something would see him, so everyone would believe they were lying. Well whoever would see him Ivan didn't want to risk it.

Eventually he got to the venue, he watched as some kids got turned down due to their lack of IDs and strode into the line for the bar. It turns out Till's band were a fairly popular local band, Till had absolutely been downplaying their popularity. Ivan hoped the flowers didn't get destroyed in the crowd, he'd have to sneak backstage to put them down somehow.

Once Ivan entered, he saw the crew prepping the stage for the performance. Carefully, he snuck through the backstage door and into Till's dressing room which to his disappointment Till was no longer occupying. Ivan quickly set the gift down, knowing that it was likely Till was just about to get on stage.

He rushed back out, making sure he still looked composed as ever and floated towards the back of the crowd where the bar was. He watched as some figures began making their way to the stage, he recognized one as Hyuna due to Luka shoving her picture in his face.

Eventually, the person he wanted to see finally ventured onto the stage. He was wearing black ripped cargo jeans, a crop top with some band logo on Ivan didn't recognize, large combat boots. The most impressive part was his make up, his wings looked even sharper then usual, he looked like he didn't belong on earth. Which Ivan figured is true since he's a god, but the point still stands.

Till looked natural on stage, he was completely in the zone. He watched entranced as Till began tapping his foot too signal the beat of the song they were about to start. When they all began playing their instruments the crowd went wild, Ivans eyes where only locked on Till the whole time.

Till and Hyuna switched vocals from song to song, but Ivan wished it was just Till doing the singing. When Till's eyes finally met Ivan's his lips quirked up into a smirk, Ivan stared back at the man intently wishing he could claim Till in front of the people in the crowd who were eye fucking him. Time stopped under his gaze and all he could focus on are his future spouses eyes, they seemed more alive then ever while he was on stage.

Eventually the set list ended, the band all bowed and thanked the crowd and began heading off the stage. Ivan rushed to the backstage, heading straight towards where he hoped Till would be.

When he finally reached Till's dressing room he swung the door open and met piercing green eyes. "Hi", Till said, "how'd you like the show?" He asked staring down at his feet. "It was amazing", Ivan responded, entering the dressing room properly. "Do you like the flowers?"

"Hmm, yeah they're lovely..what's the box?" Till asked as he stood up to grip the flowers he brought him. "Open it", Ivan responded bluntly out of nervousness that Till wouldn't like it.

Till looked slightly perturbed but began opening the box anyway. "Wow it's beautiful", Till said admiring the work, "it reminds me of a flower I like to draw.... The red kinda reminds me of your eyes too" he continued, smiling softly to himself.

Ivan sighed in relief that Till enjoyed the gift, the peace was short lived in the dressing room and Hyuna came bursting in with non other then Luka, holding two bottles of soju in her hands, "who wants to do after show drinking!?" She exclaimed inviting herself into the room.
