Who: Briareos and Kymopoleia
When: Valentine's Day
What: Love arrows come calling.
Where: Ky's apartment



He had experienced this massive emplosion in his insides before when Eros had shot his arrows. It was uncomfortable, foreign to him. Briareos had never considered something such as desire and lust, or that exaggerated need for someone other than himself. He was built as an anomoly, someone who was never meant to have such things. He was a monster still under that human flap, and he had been nothing more than a bargaining chip between Titans and Olympians for years.

Even when Poseidon had sold off his daughter, she was something beautiful, but he had never resonated a feeling beyond what was given to him. Since the months that she had let him live after Poseidon had damned him to death, he respected her for giving him that sort of chance when she could have killed him just as easily.

He had left well enough alone of her, somewhat concerned in a strange way of what Poseidon would do to her after. The waters settled and he went back to his usual routine before Poseidon had disrupted it. He had no desire to see Kymopoleia until that morning, where he stood outside her apartment stalking by a tree that was wider than himself, looking up to decide if he dared step inside.

Briareos squinted his eyes expecting a hit or that knife to his throat. When neither came he carefully opened back up, one eye at a time. Her red hair seemed to shimmer in that light, but he didn't speak about it. He wasn't going to completely be overcome with emotion that he started to spout sonnets. This all felt bizarre enough.

"I would," he replied keeping his hands to himself in between his knees. It was his silent way of showing her he stood behind his oath.

Ky went to the fridge and pulled out two of the few beer bottles left, walking back over and holding out one to him and then sitting on the couch across from him, watching him with interest and wariness as she opened her own beer.

It was strange, like his eyes had been opened for the first time. Everything was beautiful in the most fulfilling way. He was content with just being in her presence for now. He took the bottle she offered with a curt nod. Saying thank you over and over again seemed redundant.

He drank very little, his thin fingers picking across the label, running against the fluted neck. He turned his gaze from her down to the floor. "Have you heard from him? Your father?" He hoped in some way in fact that the sea king had moved on from his torment of them both. It seemed maybe with Theseus in town that maybe he'd found a new focus.

"Not a word," Kymopoleia said, pulling her legs up onto the chair so that she could cross them. With his oath made she already felt more secure. Physically, at least, she could let her guard down around him. (Who knew what it would be like tomorrow when this love spell wore off though?) "And that's the way I'm hoping it'll stay. I'm done with his bullshit and it seems he can't be bothered murdering me for trying to murder him."

She shrugged, but she was glad he hadn't come after her. She'd been scared but ready for it those first months afterwards, but now that fear was gone.

"I think he has a new victim." She and Briareos both had started to doubt that he was coming for either of them any time soon. Though, Poseidon had a habit of sitting on grudges. "That's a good thing."
