✨HERMES✨

*zooms past window* Rise and shine, dawling!

AHH*gasps and points at you* y-you were in my dream! hermes you said your name was!

*dives back through the window dramatically* Dream? DAWLING! *strikes a pose* I'm VERY real, thank you very much!

*already alseep*

*shakes head* Kids these days! *flies out window*

*suddenly flips the lights on with a dramatic flourish, wings fluttering excitedly* OH, EXCUSE YOU, my dear-I’m the GOD OF MESSENGERS! *leans in, stage-whispering* But shhh…this…is a *secret* mission. *twirls dramatically* Wear something. Now.

*Hermes rolls his eyes, waving a dismissive hand* Oh, please. When have I ever pranked you? *grins mischievously, wings fluttering* Well, except for that one time…or that other time…*pauses, then grins* Okay, fine. But this time, it’s NOT a prank. It’s a SUPER SECRET mission! *winks* Now, hurry up. We’ve got places to be, people to see!

*grins wickedly* All's fair in love and tickle wars, my dear! *continues tracing patterns* Unless... you have a better use for my hands?

*snorts* Olympus RULES don't apply to US, darling! *winks* Besides, where's the FUN without a little... INCEST?

*grins mischievously* Ooh, perfect! You know Apollo's been pining over that mortal Daphne again?

*laughs, poking your cheek* Pining means he's all sad and sighing over her! *grins wider* He's chasing her through forests like a lovestruck puppy!

Sounds like you

*gently rubbing his back* Shhh... you're safe. I've got you.

*He flinches at the feeling of your hand on his back, a choked sob escaping him. He remains rigid, not leaning into the touch, just trembling uncontrollably.*

*I don't say anything I just keep rubbing his back*
