Day 24: Wrapping Presents, Heracles

Warnings: Reader gets overwhelmed and Heracles helps them

(_____) had been rushing around all day trying to finish getting everything on their list done. They nearly knocked over some deity’s in their rushing around. Now here they were staring at the overwhelming piles of boxes and wrapping paper. “Oh boy..” They said quietly to themselves as they honestly didn’t know where to start.

Heracles had been worrying over his lover all day. They had been so busy that he worried for their health and wellbeing. He stood outside of their door, not sure if he should knock or not. They’re very busy and he didn’t want to disrupt them but at the same time he wanted to have them take a break. After a while of thinking over it Heracles knocks and then enters (_____)’s room. His eyes widened at the mountain of gifts and the mountain of wrapping supplies on either side of his lover. (_____) turned around with a stressed out look in their eyes. “I think I went overboard this year..”

Heracles laughed and walked up to them. “Would you like some assistance love?” (_____) tiredly nodded and Heracles got straight to work. He organized the presents by pantheon and then deity. He asked if any of them had assigned wrapping paper and if they did he would move the wrapping paper to those gifts. He sat with them and learned from them on how to wrap the presents to make them look presentable. The crackling of the fire added the perfect amount of ambient sound to their moment together.

He even helped them carry all of the presents to deliver them. (_____) was happy beyond belief to have a lover like Heracles.

My cousins forced me to watch d*sney’s Hercules yesterday and all other inaccuracies aside I think one of the worst offenders is them portraying Zeus as caring, loving and present father. I died of laughter when I saw it.

Okay, take it out of nowhere, but Ares totally understand Apollo’s hate for Achilles, cause he was the same whit Heracles. Heracles killed a LOT of Ares’s children (some by accident) . And Achilles murdered a LOT of Apollo’s children ( don’t get me start talking about Troilus).

So, for me, even if Ares and Apollo aren’t the best siblings, they, at least, hold each other’s backs when it comes to children lost. Not like siblings, but like two dads that are both tired of losing their kids, to some so named “ Hero”
