Demeter - Lovino

-----------------------------------------

Antonio was minding his own business , sitting in a meadow with his caretaker, Lovino. Lovino kept a sharp eye on him on whatever he was doing.

Antonio didn't mind , though. But he would like it if Lovino would give him some time to be independent, which he rarely gave.

" Lovi!! I'm going to go pick some flowers, wanna come?"

" I can't,  I'm busy today." Lovino replied,  looking into a mirror. "  Something is happening on Mount Olympus and I have to be there . Make sure you have some of the nymphs with you, okay? "

Antonio nodded. " I will. " He says,  picking up his basket and walked off.

Antonio went to the meadow with two friendly woodland  nymphs,  Inna and Henry. For a while, they picked flowers, went swimming, and chatted without a care in the world.

Meanwhile, another god was watching them. It was the Lord of the Underworld,  Ivan. His reason why is simple, he was in love.

He had his eyes set on Antonio. There was a lot of things he liked about him. His happy and sweet personality, his beautiful emarald green eyes, his lovely tanned skin, his sweet little smile..... everything,  really. But there was a problem.

Ivan knew Lovino wouldn't allow any god who was in love with the God of spring anywhere near him, especially him.

Ivan was busy thinking of how to talk to him, when he heard a sweet little voice snapped him out of his thought. He looked down to see Antonio,  who was holding some flowers in his hands.

" Hello there."  says the green-eyed brunette, smiling sweetly.

Ivan was in disbelief. How is this young god not scared of him? Surely he has heard of him before.

" Um... Hi. " Ivan says, to him, a bit nervous. " What are you up to?"

" Nothing, really. My friends fell asleep and I wandered off to pick some flowers by myself. What are you up to?"

Ivan shrugged a bit. " Taking a small break, actually. It's tiring work when you're King of the Underwo- " He muttered, stopping himself when he realizes he had just said his title. Ivan was expecting for the young god to get scared and run away. But the god of fertility and Spring stayed put, a smile still on his face.

" Oh, I know who you are!!" Antonio chirped happily. " Your name's Ivan,  right? Lovino told me about you. He says that you're evil and mean, but I don't believe that. From first glance, I think you're very nice."

Ivan blushed a bit,  a bit embarrassed from the compliment. " Thank you. "He replied.

" I've always wanted to know the Underworld looked like, despite being full of dead mortals. "

Ivan smiled a bit. " I could take you there if you like. I'll bring you back right after. "

Now Antonio looked at him with a look of worry. " You.. You mean it?" He asked, a bit nervous but curious by the offer. He never been to the Underworld before, but he heard from Lovino that it was no place for someone like him.

" I swear on the river Styx that I'll bring you back. You belong here anyways." Ivan says, gently reaching out to touch Antonio's cheek.  Antonio flinched a bit, but relaxed quickly. Ivan' s hand was a bit cold on his cheek, but he didn't mind. " Alright then. " Antonio says, blushing a bit and smiling to himself. " Let's go. "

Ivan nodded and takes Antonio's hand  into his. " Don't worry. I'll let anything happen to you. " He assured Antonio. He lead the fertility god over to a small cave , leading to the gates of the Underworld.

Antonio hesitated a bit. " I-It looks pretty dark down there. " He muttered. 

" I know. But I'll keep you safe." Ivan replied.

Antonio relaxed a bit, letting the larger male lead him down into the cave leading him to the Underworld.
