@singofus asked : Hypnos wraps his arms around Maggie in a gentle cuddle.
he touches her and it all stops .
her body , still shivering from the cold , immediately melts into his touch . she feels like she can breathe again , deep gasps that expand her lungs all the way as he thaws her back to life . frozen hands reach for the blanket , holding , grounding , rubbing the soft fabric until she can breathe again .
yellow eyes , pupils wide with delirium , look to his face , where she slowly calms . her breath settles , her body warming back to normal as she's tucked in against him .
she doesn't know what happened - if something latched onto her from the last time she went there , to the perpetually flooded valley of his domain , only to strike now , but at least she doesn't feel like she's drowning on land anymore .
tears fall as she theorizes what she had been feeling . the last panicked memories of dreams ? the nightmares born from those memories ? hypnos' own helplessness as he felt his realm weaken , himself unmade ?
she doesn't know , but she feels better now . she buries her face against his neck , feeling every bit an imposter queen .
she'll dry her tears in a bit . for now , she only murmurs soft apologies . not for her actions ; but for , impossible as it is , not being able to have helped him through that .
@singofus asked : ❰❰ PULL ❱❱ sender pulls receiver close to them ⇢ magissa ﹠ hypnos
athens , 202x .
she's definitely tipsy . like , not nearly enough to not remember tonight , but still - tipsy . a guy's behind her , the same guy that's been dancing with her for the past three songs , his hands tight on her hips , one hand creeping up to her bare midsection . his hand is hot , heavy , against her skin , and she breathlessly laughs , tilting her head to the side . lips skate along the curve of her neck , and she conjures a moan for him .
maybe she'll get lucky this time .
she feels a heavy gaze on her . nothing she's unaccustomed to , but she looks over anyway , too tipsy to stop the thought of caring .
sleepy , but intense , gold eyes stare back at her , briefly lit by a spinning light . she blinks - the eyes are gone .
she's tipsy , not tired , right ?
the guy behind her tugs her closer , and she works to move her attention back to him ; an impossible feat when she's suddenly pulled into someone else's arms . surprisingly strong arms , but he is a god , she supposes .
she looks up , chin on his chest , her own yellow eyes dilated . the guy says something but she's not paying attention .
she slips her hands into his back pockets , him wearing the joggers and cropped t-shirt she'd cut for him , and presses closer to his form . she can see his fangs from this angle .
yum .
“ never thought i'd see you here , ” she says , biting her lower lip . “ you jealous , my lord ? ”
