Do not wake up the gods of the abyss [Greek mythology]

The cold winter is coming again.The earth changed into a dark dress and went to a winter feast.

The two male gods stopped and stopped all the way, and finally returned to Free City in the winter of that year.

Outside the city of Free, there is still the familiar river, flowing quietly with the waves of time.The women doing laundry by the river are still repeating their old work.They were talking and laughing loudly while scrubbing and washing clothes.Obviously doing hard work, but putting everything into a joke, even if his hands are red from cold, he doesn't care.

Listening to the splashing of the river, as well as the women's laughter and talking, Apollo was drawn back to the day when he lost Tartarus.

That day, he watched Tartarus disappear before his eyes...

On that day, he regained his former loneliness...

The excitement is the excitement of others, and the laughter is the laughter of others.Without Tartarus, his world became? Dark and dull.

Apollo did not forget that day.

But his mood at the moment is completely different.

His lover is by his side.

His, Tal.

Apollo looked at Tartarus, and the warm winter sun shone on the chapped and red faces of the women, and also shone in his tender green eyes.His eyes seemed to form a prison of light, enclosing the little Tartarus within; more like a pair of warm palms, holding the god he loved all his life.

"what happened?"

Sensing Apollo's gaze, Tartarus turned his head to look over.

Apollo shook his head, not intending to share his inner feelings.

Tartarus didn't know what was going on, but he didn't ask any further questions. He just let out a breath of air and said, "Let's hurry up, and we can catch up with the palace's luncheon."

Hearing what he said, it seemed like Apollo was starving him.If it were someone who was so preoccupied by Hermes, he would definitely have to break it off with him.Apollo let him lead him, his eyes were full of sunshine: "Tal, I am very happy."

"Well, I am also very happy."

Tartarus echoed.He was about to see the Admetus couple again, and wondered if they had lunch, what they had for lunch, and whether they still had the sesame and walnut cake they promised to prepare for him.

Thinking of the taste of wedding candy that Myron once described to him, Tartarus couldn't help asking his thoughts.

Apollo didn't expect him to still think about it, he laughed and said, "It's been six years, even if Admetus wanted to give it to you, the candy should have been melted." After hearing this, Tartarus revealed Disappointed look.

Can't Apollo see it? He was disappointed, and comforted him: "If you really like it, I will make it for you, and I will make a lot of it."

"That's different," Tartarus vetoed his proposal: "Some food tastes better when it's placed in a specific environment, such as a campfire barbecue, you have to get together like the Trojans, and everyone roasts together. , eat it together, you will feel it? It is very fragrant. The sesame walnut honey cake is the same, it is not such a festive occasion as a wedding, can you eat that sweet feeling?"

Apollo can't laugh or cry?The foodie god is still the foodie, but he used to have a lot of food to control his satiety. Ever since he heard a roast leg of lamb cook at the bonfire party in Troy say a lot of truths about eating food and understanding the emotions involved, his eating speed It became slower, and there were more strange problems.

Apollo is his only inquiry, and he always has many questions waiting for his answers, including but not limited to, what mood does he have when he makes pastries for him—does he want to see? See? Can he eat it himself?

What can be the mood?

I just thought it would make him happy.

Just like at this moment, Apollo is also trying to think of a way to satisfy his wish and make him happy: "Admetos has a child, can we go first? Tell him that we will go to him on the day his child gets married." Come to the wedding and have a good taste of the sesame walnut honey at the wedding ceremony."

At first glance, this suggestion was quite good, but Tartarus counted the years, months and days carefully, and realized that it was wrong: "It will be too difficult to wait, and it will take many years."

Knowing that he was impatient, Apollo said, "Then wait until Atlante gets married..."

"I'm not going." Tartarus interrupted him directly, and emphasized again: "We will not participate."

"What's the matter?" Apollo wondered, "Didn't you always want to see the life in Atlanta?"

Tartarus pursed his lips, seeming a little unhappy? Xing: "...I don't think so."

Tartarus, who frowns troubledly, is also cute, but Apollo prefers his lover's happy face.He handed him a piece of candy, like coaxing a child: "If you don't want to go, we won't go."

Tartarus took the candy, took a bite, and his raised brows relaxed a little.

They have entered Free City.

Under the rule of Admetus, Free City became more and more prosperous, and the streets were full of people, shoulders rubbing each other, and it was very lively.

When there are too many people, it is easy to push and shove.Taking advantage of his height, Apollo cared for Tartarus, wiped the crumbs from his cheeks, and couldn't help but ask, "Can I know the reason?"

He obviously wanted to know about the situation in Atlanta, but he could satisfy his desire to eat sesame walnut honey cake. Why did he say "no"?

Tartarus chewed the pastry and said seriously, "I'm afraid she will regret it."

"What do you regret?" Apollo couldn't keep up with his train of thought.

Tartarus glanced at the handsome and considerate lover, and answered his doubts: "I'm afraid she will regret getting married—she proposed to you, which shows that her vision is very high. If she sees you again, she will still marry you." Willing to marry her groom?"

When Tartarus said this, he really wanted to discuss it with him, but Apollo could not participate in this topic.He never thought that his Tal would have such an idea, he never praised people, but inadvertently, he praised him as the brightest star in the sky.

have been pleased.

They were still walking on the bustling streets, but Apollo didn't want to worry so much anymore.He hooked Gotartaros' palm with his fingers, beckoning him to follow him, and hurriedly led his lover into the dark corner.

Tartarus didn't know why, but gave all his trust.So when he was pressed against the wall by Apollo and bowed his head to ask for a kiss, he was still defenseless.

"Tal, open your mouth." Apollo seemed to be bewitching him.

Tartarus was obedient and was rewarded with a deep kiss.

As early as half a month ago, Tartarus had passed Apollo's test - his divine body was fully restored.Although Apollo kissed him more than a dozen times that day, his lips were red and swollen, but he still showed no signs of mental breakdown, which is a good proof.So now they can kiss as much as ? Tartarus wants, as ? Apollo likes.

After the kiss, Apollo laughed, and there was a bit of breath in his laughter, which blew into Tartarus' ears.

"It smells like roses, very sweet."

Tartarus' ears turned red, but he still responded seriously to Apollo: "You are right, the rose cake this time is really sweet." In front of Apollo, asked him: "Do you eat?"

Apollo grabbed the half of the rose cake, broke it in half, and fed it into Tartarus' mouth.

"I prefer to watch you eat."

As for himself, he just had to taste it in a kiss now and then.

The topic returned to "eating", Tartaros thought of the sesame walnut cake he had been obsessed with, and suddenly had a wonderful idea in his mind.

His eyes lit up, and he said enthusiastically, "Apollo, let's get married!"

Apollo was caught off guard by his sudden marriage proposal, and the half of the rose cake left in his hand fell to the ground with a "slap".

Tartarus cherished food very much, and he disapproved of Apollo's wasteful behavior.But he knew that Apollo didn't do it on purpose, and such a small matter couldn't affect their feelings.He leaned closer in front of Apollo again, with a face that was blushing slightly because of the excitement in his heart, and proposed again: "Let's get married!"

It was so sudden.

Apollo's mood is very complicated and hard to say, but there is no doubt that joy is the main color.He really wanted to hug his lovely lover, but he was afraid that he would be too emotional now and could not control his strength, which would hurt him.He could only clench his fists and force himself to restrain himself: "...This is too sudden, Tual." He also thought about proposing to Tual, but he didn't expect to be preempted.

Apollo deeply felt that at this moment, he was the happiest god in the world.

However, his happiness was so short-lived, because in the next second, he heard the voice of Tartarus: "Why should we bother to attend other weddings? Let's hold one by ourselves, invite guests, and the sesame, walnut and honey cake is enough !"

Apollo: "..."

Apollo was once again overwhelmed by Tartarus.

"Tal, I am very happy that you are willing to consider our marriage relationship. However, getting married is not a hasty thing. We should take it more seriously."

Tartarus thought about it, and realized something was wrong.If they refer to the standard of Admetus marrying Alcestis, they still have a lot of things to do.

"Well, I was too eager."

Apollo didn't speak, but stroked his black hair in a tolerant way.

Before his hand left the top of Tartarus' hair, he raised his head and said, "But it is not a hasty decision to propose to you. Next time I will prepare a token of marriage proposal and choose a place that is romantic enough to propose to you." Marriage proposal. If? If? I do that, will you say yes?"

Apollo's hand stopped, and between his fingers was the smooth hair of Tartarus.He is obviously such a stubborn and serious person, but his hair is so thin and soft that he can't put it down.He loved Tartarus' frankness, and the tenderness with which he treated him sincerely.In Tartarus' expectant eyes, he smiled and shook his head.

"Not yet?" Tartarus was not discouraged: "Then tell me, what is still missing, I will prepare it for you."

He was greeted with a hug from Apollo.

Apollo held him in his arms and rubbed his cheeks: "Leave the proposal to me, give me a chance to show off, okay?"

How could Tartarus resist such a gentle inquiry?

Although he was not very willing, he agreed: "Okay."

But the marriage proposal was handed over to Apollo, is there another matter that can be handed over to him?

He decided to take care of the wedding. He wanted their wedding ceremony to be filled with the sweet aroma of sesame walnut cake!
