Hephaestus was too pleased to be able to create again to pay much attention to the rest of the world. His forge fired up, he spent what time was needed to fix the items he had destroyed. It took time - some items were so beyond repair they required complete retooling. It was only after significant progress that he allowed himself a break. Curious as to how she managed to succeed, Hephaestus made his way to the temple of his wife.

He stepped into her temple, listening to some attendant of hers babble about just missing Iris. Hephaestus nodded without listening and made his way into the parlor that was indicated, frowning as he saw Aphrodite just sitting there.

"Machanitin."

She did not want company.

She groaned as she heard someone entering the room,head dropping into her hands, lifting only as she heard the voice that belonged with the body... and sparing a smile for her husband.

"Heph, baby."

She held a hand out toward him, patting the seat beside her lightly with her other hand.

"What brings you out of the volcano? And if you tell me your cyclops are missing, I'll scream."

"Why would there be a missing cyclops?"

Hephaestus frowned as he moved to sit next to her, finding the remark just a bit odd. "I would not want you to scream."

He leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees.

"So is this the part where I pry what's wrong out of you, or do you just want to skip that part?"

She scrunched her nose at him with a frown, rising to stand and pace lightly.

"So what, you crawl out of your volcanic cave to come annoy me? Marital bliss at it's finest. And I was happy to see you just a few seconds ago."

She turned on him, eyes stormy as she smirked at him, her hands resting on her hips.

"You really want all the details?"

She stepped closer, moving in until her knees were against his, looking down at him.

"I don't love Ares. Ares still loves me and wants me to forgive him. I can't locate 2 of my children, 3 if you include Pothos, we have no regents, time is stopped everywhere, and it's possibly all my fault. Happy?"

"Ah."

Hephaestus nodded slowly, reaching for her hand. He leaned back, pulling her down to rest on his thigh and wrapped his arm around her.

"I see. You have a lot on your plate. I do not think I can help in the matter of my brother, but maybe I can help with the rest. What do you mean they are missing?"

She growled softly as he tugged her down, arms crossing as she took the seat on his leg.

"Missing. Gone. I can't feel them, Can't find them... no one else can either. I left Ares with Strife, to see what he knows about Harmonia... and Iris just left to tell me of Pothos. Unless they have something to do with Cronos' plan, which I just really can't see. There are no kings at all because Cronus insists on sticking his fingers into every possible pie, and it's my fault for trusting them... though it wasn't solely my decision, it'll be blamed on me. Ares is already on my back about it, when he's not up in arms about the fact that I won't immediately reverse his rash actions. Am I really so wrong to ask for some show, some sign of love before I put myself through all of that again? And is it something that I can really worry about? So how are you going to help?"

She dropped her head on his shoulder, and looked up at him, blinking slowly.

Hephaestus nodded, seeing that the hint about not wanting to know about Ares had sailed right over his wife's pretty head. Or she was ignoring it.

"I see. It seems to me that there are a few possibilities for the children. It might be wise to see if only yours are missing. And if you know Cronus' plan, to work to make it play itself out. As for Ares, you may want to write down what you want, in words with one syllable. Big block letters so he can understand?"

He looked at her and sighed, seeing this wasn't the time for humor at his brother's expense. "Aphrodite, What do you want me to tell you?"

Curling closer into his arms as he talked, she listened as he laid out the logical steps for the two biggest problems at hand, waving them away absently because really? She'd already thought of all that, then glared up at him as he poked fun at her issues with Ares. She didn't even have the heart to chastise him.

"What do I want you to do? I don't know. I want..."

She trailed off with a sigh, turning her face into his neck, shoulders offering a tell-tale shudder as her voice trembled, muffled as it was.

"I want you to fix it!"

She started to cry.

Hephaestus stared at her in awed terror as she started to cry. "Aphrodite. Machanitin. Don't cry. It's not that bad."

He patted her shoulder then brushed his hand down her hair, not sure what to do. It wasn't a broken toaster to be fixed. Even he didn't know what he could make that would give Ares a brain. If he didn't have a crying goddess on his lap, he might even be insulted. She was asking him to fix her adulterous relationship with his brother

"It's not that bad, love. It will work out. But Aphrodite, are you sure you want this fixed? This is what you want?"

"Yes. No. I don't know. This isn't the right kind of fighting, and it's like I've got this big whole that is messing me up, making it hard to focus on the other things. a part of me, an important part, is missing Heph."

Her arms curled in against her side as she sniffled lightly, burying her head deeper into his shoulder so that he'd have to work to make out her words.

"I want things the way they belong. I just want to make sure I'm doing the right thing. Am I dumb for wanting it back?"

Hephaestus groaned lightly, knowing there was only one thing he could really do. As appealing as the alternatives were, He had to give her this chance. "Machanitin, You'll be the death of me yet." He kissed the top of her hair and sighed, making the most unpleasant of summons.

>>Ares. You're needed in Aphrodite's temple. Quickly, please.<<

She didn't know what to say to that... she didn't want to be hurting him, but on the other hand, fixing things was what he did. His reaction confused her though... was it a denial?

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't be dropping this on you. I should be worried about my babies..."

And she was. She really was. But this was too close to the surface.

Being summoned away from the search for his daughter, did not leave Ares in a good mood. He left the sobbing Strife in his temple and appeared before Hephaestus with quite a look of displeasure on his face. That was until he saw the tears on Dite's face and the look changed to one of anger.

"WHAT DID YOU DO TO MAKE HER CRY?" The fact that she was cuddles in Heph's lap didn't even register. He was ten seconds attacking.

"Hush, Aphrodite. We'll fix this for you." He continued to pet her hair, all calmness leaving the room when Ares appeared. Trust his brother to make the worst entrance possible. "I did nothing, Ares."

Hephaestus cradled his wife closer and stood, wincing slightly as he felt his leg ache. He stepped to his brother and placed Aphrodite in Ares' arms, offering Ares a stern look as he communicated silently, not wanting her to hear his words.

>>Are you trying to make her more upset? She cries over you. Comfort her. And should she ever again come to me unsure if she should love you or not? The next time I will tell her no.<<

Looking back at Aphrodite, Hephaestus brushed a tear from her cheek and smiled. "It will be fine."

"How?"

Her plaintive request for answered almost instantaneously, and she cringed as soon as she felt Ares in the room, eyes closing tight as she heard him yell. This was Heph's bright idea? To start a fight with Ares now? Really? Maybe the switch had done brain damage or something... what was he thinking? She didn't *cry* in front of Ares!

She whimpered lightly as he stood, knowing suddenly what he was about to do... and her plan was to slide down to her feet and compose herself the moment he handed her to Ares... But it felt so right in his arms and she wanted to be there and everything was so messed up...

She curled her arms around his neck and leaned in, the frustration only adding to her tears.

One mintue he'd been ready to attack, the next he had his arms full of emotional woman. Heph's words echoed in his head and, instead of angering him, they just added to his confusion.

Over me? She never cries over me.

He looked down at Dite and his eyes softened as they only could with her. The tears were something new for him and all thought of Harmonia left his head.

"I've missed you in my arms." He turned around, away from Hephaestus and hugged her tight to him. His voice was low so his brother couldn't hear. "I've just miss you."

Hephaestus watched his brother as he took Aphrodite, pleased with the look of confusion. He had almost expected Ares to bolt. As it was, it looked like things were going to fix themselves.

"I'll just been in the other parlor..." He didn't know why he bothered, he thought as he left the room. They were ignoring him now.

She calmed slowly as he held her, his words touching her deeply. She breathed him in, amazed at how secure she felt in his arms, how easily he held her. And he missed her.

"I miss you too. It's like there's a part of me is missing... I'm not whole."

Her arms curled tight around him, head lifting to press a kiss against his jaw before nuzzling a damp cheek into his neck.

He found a couch and sat down with her still secure against him. With his hand he moved her face up so he could look into her eyes.

"I want you whole again." He kissed the tear tracks on her cheeks away. "I want you mine again."

"I never stopped being yours, Ares. I don't think I could even if you wanted."

It felt like ages since she'd been in his arms like this, sweetly secure, without feeling like it was going to end in a fight any moment.

"I don't have the best words, Dite. It's hard for me most days. But I love you. I've never loved anyone like I've love you."

He fully blamed the tears for this pussification. It grated to say things like this, he really was a much better grunter. But she needed to hear them, and he wanted his woman back. Needed her back.

"There isn't anything I wouldn't do for you."

"I know, baby. I know. It's what I am."

She smiled lightly, knowing just how tough it was for him to say he loved her so plainly and openly.

"Ares.... Why is it so hard for you to tell me that sometimes? I don't need poems or songs of declaration. But when it's you, and me, and no one else around... You can tell me you love me occasionally. No one will think less of you."

Her fingertips traced his jaw as she spoke, lightly brushing against his lips before she leaned up, pressing her own lips against them in light, soft kisses. fingers fell away to take his wrist, pressing his palm above her heart, letting him feel the beat grow stronger as she righted his wrong.

"I can do that." He frowned for a second, "As long as it's just us." After all, he had a reputation to protect.

The beat under his palm was curious to him. He wasn't sure what exactly he was supposed to be feeling, but then he looked at her and saw something in her eyes that told him she was HIS Dite again and he finally felt complete again. She really was his glue.

He took one of her light kisses and turned it deeper, his fingers tracing the soft skin above her heart in slow strokes. After a bit, he moved to look at her.

"I want you to be my wife."

She purred under his touch, that wholeness returning as she melted under his kiss... things were right. And now that they were? there as nothing that couldn't be dealt with... missing children, the thrones... that pesky detail about Athena she figured no one had mentioned to him yet.. It would be fine. Together, they were a force to be reckoned with. All was right in the world... mostly. And she was content.

For about 5 seconds.

"What?"

She blinked her eyes opened in surprise, quite sure she misheard him.

"Wife?"

Oh, he'd been doing so well. Her look of bewilderment slid into one of resigned amusement as she looked up at him, arm slipping pack around his neck if he was going to be carrying her anywhere.

"He did, yes. But I think you're missing a rather vital step of the process, love."

She really had to forgive him. This was the first time he'd ever proposed.

"Oh. Sorry." He stood her on her feet and got down on one knee in front of her. "Aphrodite, will you marry me?"

He conjured a beautiful, carved diamond ring, and held it out, before looking at her with expectation.

"This is how they do it, right?"

Oh, damn.

She watched in mild horror as he dropped to one knee, eyes widening as she saw the ring... and it was a lovely, lovely ring... one that actually suited her... And all her centuries of letting down various suitors failed her.

"I... Oh, Ares... don't do this. Please, love, stand up..."

She reached for his face, teeth biting down on her lower lip, not at all sure how to answer him.

His brow creased in confusion. She wasn't saying yes. That's what all those mortal women said.

He stood up and stared down at her.

"You're supposed to say yes, and then I'm supposed to go beat Hephaestus up until he relents." Maybe she was unsure of the proper order of things.

"yeah, love... I know how it works... But I think this is something that needs a bit of talking about, first... it's really very sudden. And I don't like the idea of Hephaestus being beaten up for anything, all things considered. Come.. sit back down?"

Sitting was good. She took his wrist in her hand and pushed him lightly toward the sofa, straddling his lap as she leaned over him, her palms cupping his face.

"I love you. I love you more than anything, and nothing can change that. Marrying me won't change anything."

"Well, I won't have to beat him up if he says yes in the first place." But he followed her over the couch anyway, forgoing any physical violence for the moment, unfortunately.

She was right, really. This was sudden, and he couldn't even figure out why he suddenly wanted it so badly. Maybe it was the close call he had in almost losing her. Maybe it was her forcing him to "speak his feelings". Whatever it was, it hurt that she wasn't saying yes and jumping into his arms.

"Oh, love... that's not what I'm saying at all. It's not that I don't want to marry you."

Except, it sort of was. Except not really. She sighed, letting her fingers caress the curves of his beautiful face.

"There's others to consider. And not just Hephaestus... although it might be a bit harsh to go asking him such a thing now, given what he did to help us. But I also don't want you thinking you have to ask me, to keep me close, or keep me at all. I never want to marry you on a whim... but only after knowing it's something we both truly want, truly deeply want. And I think you're reacting to... Whatever we've been going through the last little bit. I don't want you to regret asking me... and really, you've never hinted at wanted to be married before. Do you understand that as long as I am love... it's impossible for me to undo my love for you? You know that, right?"

He thought about it for a minute. She was confusing on her best days. Before she had her love back, it hadn't seemed to matter to her how hurt he was.

"Huh. Ok. Will you consider it at least?" Now that it was on his mind, marriage didn't seem like such a bad idea. But she was right about Hephaestus helping them and how it would be wrong to ask him that now. That thought distracted him from the whole marriage deal, but really it wasn't THAT hard to distract him.

"Of course I'll think about it. I'm not saying no, love. Merely... not now."

She smiled, brushing a kiss against his brow.

"tsk... don't call him that. It's insulting. And thanking him is up to you. I wasn't expecting him to do what he did, today. I'm quite grateful."

She curled back in against him, crisis adverted, relishing the feel of hard muscle beneath her... it was the little things she'd missed as much as the whole picture. "Gods... how did I ever think I could survive without you? mm.. but he pulled you away from something, yes?"

"I've no doubt you could have..." She grinned, finding it best to not mention that Hephaestus could probably have made it harder - she saw no reason to further incite thoughts of violence.

Her fingers slid down his chest to the hem of his shirt, sliding beneath the fabric as her hand trailed back up... she wanted to feel him closer, though thoughts of a sobbing Strife were distracting.

"Oh? She's not the only one missing... but he's the only clue. What's he have to say?"

His stomach muscles tightened when her hand grazed over them and he lost his train of thought.

"Huh? Who?"

Ares easily twisted Dite until she was straddling him, and began to kiss her neck. She really only had herself to blame.

She laughed lightly as she tumbled against him, thighs settling down on his as her nails scraped against his flesh. Oh, it was good to be home...

She purred as her head fell back, letting him tease her skin with kisses for a moment before she leaned away, just enough to slide out of reach, a smiled on he face. She had every intention on making the reunion pleasant for both of them... in due time. It never hurt to let the man wait.

"Oh..."

While she may have moved out of kissing range, she wasn't quite out of touching range. So while he told her everything that Strife had told him, he continued to touch her. His hands moved up and down her arms, then steadily moved to her chest, over her breasts, and he might have stop to tweak her nipples a bit before moving to her sides and her stomach in slow sweeping motions.

"...and that's when the gimp called me."

She stretched beneath his hands, eyes closing partially as she listened, occasionally leaning away from a touch or sliding his hands to a less distracting place, finding herself having to work at focusing on the topic at hand. He knew how to touch her just so... She slid tighter in against him, fingers working the shirt he wore up and over, offering an expanse of bare chest to admire.

"I don't think you can blame Strife here, love. And don't call Heph that... you know I hate it. I wonder if the others went the same way... do you think someone is attacking my babies because of me?"

She really wasn't expecting much of a well-thought-out answer, truthfully... So she didn't worry that she'd be distracting him much as she leaned in, teeth nipping at the flesh right below his collarbone.

Ares just shrugged with a grunt that clearly said "I have no idea." He sucked in his breath when she nipped against his skin and he responded by gripping her shirt at the collar, pulling it down, and latching his mouth on right where her neck and shoulder meet.

His teeth bit in, slightly hard, but his tongue and teeth quickly soothed the sting away.

"Arrrres...."

She issued his name with a light whine, a whine completely ruined by the purr that vibrated deep in her throat as she felt his teeth.

"You ruin more clothes."

With a laugh, her arms tightened around him, and she transported them both off the sofa to the edge of her bed. teeth and kisses slid along his shoulder, fingers exploring their way back down his chest to rest near his hips.

He looked up at her in confusion, but quickly turned into a smirk.

"This? Is not ruined." He tore the front of her shirt off, exposing her pretty breasts to the cool air. "This is ruined."

His hand plumped up her breast and his lips attached with a hard suck.

"Oooohhh...."

Her head tilted back as she felt his lips wrap around taut flesh, fingers curling into the waist of his pants as her hips slid forward. Arching her back, She let him feast without distraction, content to wallow in the pleasure he offered for a moment. Drawn out and romantic were two things this reunion would not be...

Moving fast, he flipped around and pressed her back against the bed, her nipple still in his mouth. While he fed on her, his hands smoothed down her sides and moved under her ass to press her against him.

His teeth worried her nipple, then moved to the other, biting slightly harder.
