Let me be your wings

[Deleted]

Persephone had needed some time to think. She needed to figure out who she was, and what she could and couldn't do. Her entire life, she had been groomed to be worthy to be deemed the daughter of Hades. Her father was important to her, but was he really so important that she should lose Sky? They had kissed.. That's as far as it had gone.. and yet, she still felt as though her heart belonged to him now. She had contemplated, for a long while, that it would be best to find someone to pull her heart out for her.. But that would do nothing in the long run aside from hurt Sky. She didn't want that. She didn't want it at all. 

She made a decision, and now, she was hoping to be able to tell Sky. She sought him out through people in town, and she left a message for him. Meet me for a drink, is all it had said, along with her name. She hoped that he would realize what she meant. It was the same place they had met each other, and she had been drinking from the same stream as he had. She was standing there now, pacing, being nervous. He didn't have to show up, and honestly, she wouldn't blame him if she didn't. Still though.. if he gave her this one chance.. she wouldn't let him down. She made up her mind.. and this was how it was going to be.

Sky had received a note that was from Persephone but by delivered by someone else. That was probably for the best. They needed to be discreet. It asked him to meet her and he instantly knew where that meeting place was. He had been thinking about her . . . a lot since they parted ways. He hadn't told Hercules about her yes. He needed to figure out thinsg for himself, but he still wasn't sure what to do or say about it. He cared for, quite a lot, more than he thought capable especially considering they had only met once. But in that first meeting, they learned so much about each other; not just in terms of their family, but they had learned about each other emotionally. Shown sides to them that they didn't show anyone else. It was, special. She was special. And Sky didn't want to think that this was the end of them before they had ever really begun. He wasn't prepared with what to say. But he did know that he wanted to meet her. So he made his way through the woods, easily finding a spot and saw her waiting for him as soon as he arrived. He watched from a distance for a moment, taking a deep breath to prepare himself. He then stepped into the small clearing to reveal himself. "Hi." Well that sounded lame.  "Hey." Why was he double greeting her?! "I mean um . . . " Fix your words you idiot! "How's it--you?" He had been going to ask her 'how's it going' but then changed his mind to 'how are you' and the most stupid phrase had come out instead. He felt like a moron. Their conversation had barley begun and he was already rambling. "How are you?" He quickly fixed, knowing he probably sounded as stupid as he felt.

Admittedly, Persephone was a little surprised when Sky showed up. If he hadn't come, she would have been upset, but she would have understood wholeheartedly. But there he was, standing in front of her..rambling and being completely adorable. He was tripping over his words, but she understood what he was saying. "I'm okay.. well, better than okay. I'm really glad that you met me here." She took a small step toward him, but made no move to touch him - even though she wanted move closer.. to hug him.. to have him holder. But no.. she didn't want to upset him, or scare him off.



"I wanted to tell you that I....maybe your'e right about evil being made, and not born. Maybe I could side with you.. if something were to go down." It made her feel a little ill, to be honest. She was going against everything she believed in.. Her own family.. but sometimes, the heart was stronger than the blood running through her veins. "I want to be with you, Sky. I don't want to forsake my family.. but maybe that can be good. Maybe I can protect you, and Hercules and whomever else." She glanced down at the ground and closed her eyes. "But if I was forced to choose.."



This was what she had decided. This was what she had made up her mind and called him out to tell him. It was the moment of truth, and she was having trouble finding the words. "Good or bad.. I would always choose you."

Sky gave a small smile when she said that she was glad he met her here. Fortunately, before he rambled on about that, she began to tell him something that he listened very intently to. For it was pertaining to a subject they had talked about during their last -- and first -- meeting. She seemed to agree with his former words about how evil wasn't born and he suddenly felt a burst of hope explode within him. Was she willing to give them a chance? Her next words stating that she wanted to be with him helped confirm this hope. But he didn't interrupt, knowing that if he did he would just ramble nonsensically on and on and he was far more interested in hearing what she had to say. He found himself waiting for bated breath when she started to say that if she had to choose . . . and he ended up quietly exhaling when she said that she would always choose him. The words made him brightly smile, so ecstatic that she was willing to give them a try. He knew he couldn't stand mute forever, basking in her words. He best starting talking! "I want to be with you too," he told her. That, seemed to be the most important thing to say right now. The first and most relevant. "I don't want you to have to choose, and your family shouldn't make you either. If they care about you . . . like I do, then they'll understand." But, considering her father was Hades, he wasn't sure the God of the Underworld would be so, understanding. Still! Sky wanted her to know that he didn't want to put her through any pain of choosing him over her family. He took a few steps toward her, standing closer to her now that he felt whatever tension had previously existed, was now ebbing away. "You should do what your heart tells you to. Don't make a choice based on whats expected of you." He was far too shy to touch her, yet the urge was growing rather strong. "I want you to be happy," he genuinely told her. "I don't want you to be forced to choose, but I want you to know you have the freedom to." He wasn't going to pressure her or force her to do anything! And she shouldn't let Hades or Maleficent do the same. "I'd very much like to be with you," he reiterated. "And let's just . . . take it from there." He didn't exactly have any experience with tihs sort of thing. As long as they both wanted this, then surely, they would figure it out as they went. So long as they were together, that's what mattered most, wasn't it?

[Deleted]

She breathed a sigh of relief when he told her he wanted to be with her. Honestly, she'd thought she blew it..but he was willing to give them a chance as well, despite who her father was. "My heart is being a little bipolar lately.." She admitted, taking him by the hands and gazing in to his eyes. "But the only thing it seems sure of is you. And I really don't think that my father will ever understand.. but Maleficent might." She had a soft side to her that not many saw..but she was quite maternal, so she hoped that would work out in her favor. "But if it means being with you.. then I know i'm making the right decision." Losing her father caused her pain..but she knew that it would work out. Somehow. Maybe. Villains didn't normally get happy endings, but was she really a villain? Or was she somewhere in between? Her past didn't matter. It was her present, and her future. 

Sky looked just as nervous as she felt. She'd had experience with men, but she'd never felt anything like this before. This was completely new territory, and it both thrilled and terrified her. "That settles it then..we're together. No matter what.. I'll stand by you." Those were big words coming from Persephone. All she ever knew was evil and deviousness.. but this man made her feel something completely different. She leaned in close to him, and let go of his hands so she could drape her arms over his shoulders. She said nothing..but instead, closed the small distance between them, and caught his lips in a kiss. It was more deep, and passionate than the first had been. This kiss was filled with more than just feelings.. It was filled with a promise. 

She was his now.. and she'd do anything to keep it that way. While the two of them kissed, the wind picked up around them, in a controlled funnel. It lifted them off of the air, and continued to pull them up until they were above the treeline.

Sky smiled when she said that her heart had been a little bipolar lately. "Self discovery," he said, figuring that had a more positive connotation to it. She then went on to say that only he seemed to think so, and that she didn't believe her father would understand. That was something they could both agree on. But she seemed to think that Maleficent would. "You know her better than me," he admitted. He knew Hades of course, but not Maleficent. Only the stories about her. "As long as you trust her," he added. And that she didn't do anything to endanger herself. Sky knew that he would eventually have to tell Hercules about this . . . but when the timing was right. Currently, he just wanted to get ot know Persephone better. He wanted to explore these feelings that they both seemed to have rapidly and intensely developed for one another. He continued to smile when she said that she had made the right decision if it involved being with him. That truly meant a lot to him, for he knew this wasn't an easy choice to make at all. "Together," he repeated, his lips curved into a grin. "I like the sound of that." And to know she would stand by him. "And I by you," he assured her. Fortunately, her confidence was greater than his for she did what he wanted to, yet was far too shy to. She leaned in and closed the distance between them. He immediately reacted, pressing his lips against hers, experimentally deepening the kiss but was glad she had experience in this sort of thing. The kiss was so passionate that he could have sworn he was flying. Oh wait! He was flying! He pulled from the kiss to look down below them, a small smile on his lips. He missed his wings but he also knew that not having them meant he could be with her. Something he was willing to give up for what he had with her was far better. "It's been a while since I've been up in the air," he admitted. "Feels kind of weird to be up here as a human," he said with a bit of a laugh. He looked back at her rather than the ground and smiled. He decided to be a little bold and instead of saying anything that would lead him to a ramble . . . he just leaned forward to kiss her again.

Persephone was absolutely mesmerized at how innocent and sweet Sky was. Being the daughter of the lord of the Underworld automatically made her tainted, and it made it worse that she was the product of dark magic, and raised by a notorious dragon. Persephone never had a chance to be one of the good guys.. She didn't know how to do it... But Sky made her want to be a better person. Maybe this was how she would get her happy ending.. Once she figured out what that was. As the two of them were lifted in to the sky, she eased out of the kiss and watched him to gauge his reaction. He seemed to be a little weirded out about being up so high as a human. "Don't worry. I won't let you fall." 

But someone should have been there to not let her fall. Not physically, of course, but emotionally. When he took the bold move in kissing her this time, she felt as though she would melt in to his arms. The wind continued to whirl gently around them, just enough to keep them up in the air. She couldn't resist taking them up so high.. if her father had seen her though, she would have surely been punished.  She lifted her hands, and started to run her fingers through his hair as her body pressed against his. Luckily, even though they were in the air, they were far enough in the woods that one would have to have binoculars to actually see anything.  Thank goodness for the dark of  night. 

One of her legs slowly moved upward, so that her thigh was against his hip. Slowly, they began to descend from the air... Just in case. 

[Sky Zephyros]

She assured him that she wouldn't let him fall and truth be told, Sky wasn't afraid of that happening in the slightest. There was a strange automatic trust he had for her, despite who her father was and who the maternal figure in her life was. With him, she had been nothing but honest. "I know," he smiled in a quiet voice. It felt odd to not be the one able to control where in the air they were going to. He was often the navigator as he soared through the clouds . . . but here, he was bound to the ground. Until now. Feeling her fingers run through his hair was such an incredible sensation. A very different one, than when someone would run it through his mane when he was in his other form. And well, for his entire time here, he'd never had a woman touch him like this. He supposed that whatever he was feeling right now, were ones of a man rather than a horse and it felt wonderful to embrace them. Having been distracted by the kiss, he suddenly felt her leg move up, the upper part of it against his hip. It caused him to abruptly jolt, but not in a bad way. He just . . . felt something, strange. And he supposed it was linked to desire and urges but it was all very new for him. "Sorry," he apologized, his lips hardly apart from hers. He didn't want her to think he was rejecting her touch. He just . . . wasn't very experienced in this field of intimacy. Perhaps it was a good thing they were starting to descend to the ground; otherwise he may do something stupid that could make them both fall.

[Deleted]

The  moment was getting heated, and intense.. Luckily for Persephone and Sky both, her abilities didn't need her full concentration to continue working. Still though, it was a good thing that they were descending to the ground, because it seemed that Sky was getting a little jumpy. He apologized and she slightly tilted her head. "It's okay.. Are you alright?" She asked in a concerned tone. It only took until they reached the ground for her to figure out why he was acting so.. Strange. Inexperience was one thing, but.. it occurred to her that he had no idea what he was doing. "Oh, Sky.." she whispered. "I- I'm the one who's sorry. I was going too fast, wasn't I?" She felt inconsiderate, and selfish.. but it wasn't her fault, she supposed. The body wanted what it wanted. 



"I'll go slower. No more leg on the hip until you're ready." She gave him a sweet smile. She didn't want to force him to do anything at all that would make him uncomfortable, and for now, it seemed like kissing was a good start. "Just kiss me.." She spoke softly, brushing her lips against his. "I won't do anything you don't want to do." She closed her eyes, and her lips soon captured his once again. Although they weren't flying, she certainly felt like it. Her heart was beating rapidly in her chest, and she nearly forgot how to breathe. He had such an effect on her that it was startling.. and from what she could feel by standing close to him, she was having a similar effect on him. 

[Sky Zephyros]

She asked him if he was alright and he nodded his head. He was more embarrassed than anything else. She seemed like the kind of woman who had experience . . . and who would appreciate a man who was confident in this sort of thing and knew what he was doing. Someone who could take charge. Not someone she had to keep asking if they were alright. He knew that either way, he was making himself look like a fool. Acting like he knew what he was doing when he really didn't and therefore would most likely mess something up . . . made him look like an idiot. Not making any secret of his inexperience thus causing him to look oblivious . . . same result: it made him look like an idiot. He'd rather be honest with her though, and knew she deserved to know rather than assume he didn't want this. She certainly shouldn't be the one apologizing. He was trying to collect his thoughts when she told him to just kiss her, which he eagerly responded to as their lips met again. He grew distracted from all thought, feeling so much happening inside his body in terms of emotions and well . . . other things. He didn't want to stop kissing her, but also wanted to try and explain himself. He slowly pulled away from her lips, attempting to catch his breath before he spoke. "It's . . . not that. You weren't, going too fast or . . . " How did he say this without making himself look so naive? "I've never done this before." Obviously. Hell, he hadn't even kissed a woman before her. He'd been a winged horse for most of his life! He supposed he could ask Hercules but then again, maybe not. That would be one awkward conversation and ever since he had walked in on him and Meg . . . well, Sky never wanted to talk to Hercules about that at all. Maybe experience was the best teacher. "I'm . . . " This was humiliating! "I don't want to disappoint you," he said sheepishly. He must sound like such a pansy right now. "So it's not that I don't want this. It's just, I want you to want this the way you want it." Did that even make sense?! He paused, his ridiculous words replaying over in his mind. He was rambling again. "The way you like it." Oh god. "I mean . . . " He needed a muzzle right about now. "Can you ask me to kiss you again?" He asked, clearly embarrassed, since occupying his lips against hers was a good way to make him shut up.

[Deleted]

Peresphone felt horrible when she watched how embarrassed Sky was. She didn't want him to be ashamed.. she liked him just the way he was. She listened to him ramble, and mutter.. He still hadn't figured it out yet that she didn't care that he lacked experience. In fact, that was one of the greatest things about him. She loved his purity.. it made her want to be pure for him. "Sky.." She spoke softly, lightly trailing her fingertips over the side of his neck with one hand, and over his chest - above his heart - with the other. "I know you haven't done this before.. but that's fine.. I don't care about that. And what I want.. is -you-." He wanted her to tell him to kiss her again, but she wasn't finished talking, just yet. 

"There's something about you that I can't resist. I don't care if we never make love.. I mean, I very much -want- to.. but I don't need that. I need you." Even though they had just met not long ago, she cared deeply for Sky.. and she wanted to be with him. "I wish.. I wish I could make myself completely pure for you. I wish you had been my first." She spoke honestly, but she felt her breath catching in her throat. "...Kiss me..." 

[Sky Zephyros]

She said his name and then her fingers trailed over his chest, resting on his heart which was beating so fast he could swear it was going to explode out of his chest. Her hand there seemed to both calm him and make his heart beat faster. Both felt wonderful, because she felt wonderful. Persephone went on to say that she knew he wasn't experienced, but she didn't care about that. She just wanted . . . him. The words brought unimaginable comfort even if he still wanted to be better for her. She didn't seem to hold that, or anything, against him. Instead she told him that she couldn't resist him, and that it didn't matter that they didn't make love -- even if it was something she wanted. It was something he wanted too. He may not be familiar with this, but he knew what emotions and feelings were. He knew what was in his heart. "I want that too," he admitted. The fact that it wasn't about the physical though, truly showed the deeper bond that they shared. And even if this was unfamiliar, he knew it was something he wanted to experience, with her and only her. "I feel the same way," he told her, wanting her to know that. "Which is why I want to make you happy." Whatever that meant, and whatever that entailed. He wanted to please her, to make her smile, to make her feel cared for and appreciated. He wanted to give her everything she desired, both emotionally and physically. The fact that he felt all this upon only their second meeting . . . well, it finally made him understand Hercules feelings toward Meg. For if this was the start of true love, then Sky was well on his way there. She then told him that she wished she could be pure for him, and that she wished she was his first. "I don't," he said with a bit of a shy smile. "Because your past experiences is what makes you who you are. And I wouldn't want to change anything about you." While he had told her she didn't have to be dark, to him it wasn't changing her. He merely wanted her to see that she had the potential to be good if she wanted to, and that she didn't have to be a victim of circumstance . . . or family. "Besides, at least one of us will know what we're doing." Oh, well, that was too much! Damn it, Sky! He should have quit while he was ahead and stopped himself from saying something else stupid. Luckily, she told him to kiss her, something he wanted to hear and do and within seconds, he was seeking out her lips. This time, his hand went to the back of her head, trying to be bit more brave and let his desire to touch her be expressed. His hand on the back of her head slowly trailed to her cheek, while his other hand wrapped around her waist. He was trying not to overthink everything and fortunately, her ability to take away all thought and just be consumed within everything she made him feel . . . was preventing him from over analzying every small action and empowered him.

[Deleted]

He spoke of how he wanted her, and how he wanted to make her happy. Little did he know, that was much easier than he even thought. "You make me happy just by being here, Sky." It was cheesey, sure.. but it was the truth. She couldn't imagine her world right now without him in it, now that she met him. It would be completely different, she was sure.. And she would have likely ended up with some villain. Luckily for her, she managed to find a truly good guy..and she didn't want to let him go. 

She gave him a small smile when he spoke of how he didn't wish that she was pure for him. That her past expiriences made her who she was.. And that meant so much to her. "And I wouldn't change anything about you, either.." she admitted. He then said that at least one of them would know what they were doing.. She greeted this statement with a giggle. She would have said something else, a tease or a reassurance.. but all words were lost when he kissed her once more. This time, she felt his hand moving to the back of her neck. He was definitely getting a little more confident. 

Deciding to coax him on, she allowed both hands this time to move along his chest, then to his stomach, and finally to the center of his back. Once again, her body pressed against his. Things were likely about to get a little hot and heavy, so just for a moment, she broke the kiss, to whisper against his lips. "Are you sure you.. do you want to go somewhere else?" she didn't want his first time to be in the woods unless that's where he was comfortable. "Or we could stop.. and just talk..if you want.." anything. Anything he wanted.. she'd be so, so happy to comply. 

[Sky Zephyros]

For her to say that she was happy with him just being here . . . meant a great deal to him. It maent everything really. To know that she didn't have any expectations of him. His whole life had been devoted to protecting Hercules and he had failed for a huge chunk of his life in doing so. He didn't want to fail Persephone. He wanted to devote himself to her and never wanted to fail her in any way. She added that she wouldn't change anything about him either, and that further comforted and relieved him. She didn't want a more confident pesron; a more experienced person. She genuinely seemed content with the way he was. It was a good thing his lips were being prevented from forming words because he would have been at a loss of them. Instead, he felt her hands move over his chest and back, would only gave him more confidence in where he had his hands placed. He deepened the kiss a little, hoping the adjustment didn't cause discomfort. But she hadn't pulled away yet, so at least that showed he wasn't completely terrible. When she did pull away, he took the opportunity to take a breath, immediately missing the feeling of her lips. The warmth of her body against his made him feel extremely heated, a strange urge filling his body . . . as if it was some sort of aching need. It took him a few moments to process her words after the intensity of how she made him feel when they touched so intimately. "I'd like that," he told her at the offer of going somewhere else. Anyone could wander about and see them. Strange things tended to happen in this town. He knew that wherever she led him, he would eagerly follow. "Anywhere, as long as I'm with you." Where there was no risk of someone else stumbling upon them. What if they were caught by Hades?! This town wasn't exactly a big place. His eyes went to her lips, trying to focus on what he was saying and what she had suggested and forced himself to resist the temptation of kissing her again. He gave a bit of an embarressed smile, fairly certain he looked ridiculous just wordlessly staring at her while making no action to move to support his words. "It'll be good to avoid lurkers." What a stupidly useless thing to say. "I mean . . . where would you like to go?" Wherever she felt comfortable. Did she have a place? Was she staying with Hades?

[Deleted]

Their kiss made her want oh, so much more.. But she was going to stick to her promise that she'd do anything to make him comfortable.. and it seemed that he was keen on the idea of going somewhere else other than the woods. This made her happy, because a romp in the woods wasn't exactly as romantic as it was lustful and sexy.. But that wasn't something that was needed right now. It needed to be sweet and sensual.. and she knew exactly the place for it. "Have you ever teleported before?" She asked with a small tilt of her head. "You'll hardly feel a thing. If anything.. your head will feel like it's spinning for only a moment. I know exactly where to go." 

She smiled, as she stared in to his eyes. "Are you ready?" Without hesitation, she teleported them in a cloud of cobalt blue. They arrived in a spacious room that was decorated in black and silver. "This is my bedroom. I'll give you a tour of the rest of the place later." This was her own house. She had a full privacy policy between herself, Hades, and Maleficent. She didn't bother them...they didn't bother her. "We'll be safe here. You know.. you're my first guest." She grinned. "Not even my parents have been here." And she planned to keep it that way... especially now. "And you.. are welcome here whenever you want." She smiled and leaned in, lightly kissing the side of his neck. "Complete privacy," she whispered against his skin.
