Hades Boys! Kiss Headcanons!
Hello! Here are some headcanons about how/where the hades boys like to kiss/be kissed. Now including Dionysus and Ares! Hooray! Thanks for reading, and be mindful of the content warnings. CW: Mentions of PTSD and Panic attacks for Thanatos’, Intoxication for Dionysus (Obv), and mentions of blood with Ares’, oh and angst all around, read with caution!
Word Count (Approx): 1,765
Tumblr media
Thanatos Hand Kisses|Soft
After a long shift of reaping souls Thanatos’ hands can get tired of holding his scythe. He’s not one for showing his emotions outwardly, and because of that they can seep through in more subtle ways. For instance, when Zagreus says something ignorant, or when he has to deal with a mortal whose not ready to go, or even when he runs into an Olympian he often finds himself subconsciously gripping his scythe tighter.
He does not realize until the time when he returns to your arms and he can catch his breath, the strain it puts on his hands. Aching and tired after long hours at work. Which is why he appreciates your kisses so.
You delicately ghost your soft lips across his knuckles in a most soothing way. He thinks your kisses are reminiscent of that of a butterfly’s wings. How fitting.
He would cup your face with a tired smile as you press a kiss into the palm of his hand. “Gentle kisses for Gentle Death!” You would proclaim in an attempt to make him laugh.
“My, I often wonder what it is that I did to deserve someone as kind as you…” Thanatos would say in return.
He does so much for the house the least you can do is try to relieve some of the stress. You may not be able to make less work for him, but you can show your appreciation to him by giving him the love and affection he deserves.
On certain days when Thanatos’ mood is dampened due to memories of terror from Sisyphus dirty tricks, the nights he wakes panic stricken with the phantom sting of shackles against his wrists. Your delicate kisses to his wrists help to soothe the burn. Snapping him out of his own mind into reality where he is safe, and you’re there to comfort him.
Your kisses are not only comforting to him, but you are a genuine anchor to him. He does not know how he was able to exist before you came into his life. And he is forever grateful he has you now.
Tumblr media
Zagreus Cheek Kisses|Affectionate
For someone who so rarely sees the sunlight he certainly challenges Helios for being the embodiment of it, and his kisses reflect that.
Bright and happy is he as he presses kisses into your cheek at every chance he gets. When he passes you in the hall you bet he’s taking a detour to give you a peck before he has to continue on. When he greets you after coming back from a successful run a celebratory kiss on the cheek is practically mandatory haha.
He loves it when you celebrate with him, nuzzling your face into the side of his. It’s such a small but caring notion that makes Zagreus feel as if he’s falling in love with you all over again.
When he’s preparing to head out for another run you meet him in the courtyard to wish him luck and see him off. He smiles when he catches your figure out of the corner of his eye dashing up to you for a final embrace before he returns once again. You give him another fond kiss on the cheek there whispering in his ear to give it all he’s got and to kick Theseus’ butt once again. Earning a laugh out of Zagreus and the promise that he will dedicate his next victory against the pompous champions to you.
On nights when he has scuffles with his father, or when he’s missing his mother, and words are too much in the moment. He wants nothing more than to relish in your embrace with your kisses there to provide the comfort his parents could not.
He often doesn’t let his inner turmoil bother anyone else, and did not have anyone to confide in until you came along. There’s a lot of things left unsaid, but you will be there for Zagreus to love and support him until he is ready. Even if that day never comes, you’re glad you can a least help to alleviate his troubles for a short amount a time.
If what he needs from you is not words, but doting kisses. Then kisses he shall receive. And when Zagreus is ready to speak with you, you will listen for as long as he needs. Zagreus is so glad to have found you, and would trade anything to be able to be by your side for the rest of eternity.
Tumblr media
Hypnos Forehead kisses|Loving
Whenever you get excited to share some news with your lover and rush to go tell him only to find him fast asleep per usual, it’s hard to not let an adoring smile come across your face as you decide to let him rest and that the news can wait, but you can’t just leave after coming all this way to see him. This often results in you giving him a caring kiss on his forehead followed by whispers for him to have sweet dreams.
Unbeknownst to you sometimes those sneaky kisses of your actually wake the sleep incarnate. He does not mind though, in fact its quite the contrary. He is able to discern your footsteps from others, and sometimes he is actually awoken but hearing you approach. Occasionally, he would pretend to be asleep if not for a bit longer in order to gain one of your tender kisses.
He doesn’t do it out of malice of course, it’s simply the thought that even when he supposedly can’t hear your or react to what you have to say, you are still kind and devoted to him.
Yes, he hears the whispers of Zagreus and his brothers. Even his own mother talks about him with distain, but when you are given the option to say or do whatever you want to him without repercussion you choose to be caring and loving.
Perhaps that is why he is so drawn to you, and why he appreciates your kisses in secret. It’s nice to have someone who genuinely loves him for him. Not someone who talks to him so “no one else has too” Nor gives him constant sarcastic and petty remarks when he’s honestly just trying to help.
Another addition of why he loves your kisses so, is they remind him of a sort of motherly love that he did not get from his own. Why when he was younger she was kind to him, yes, but as he grew and her attention divided he noticed that she began to treat him more as if he were a burden on others. Your kisses bring him back to a time when his mother still saw him as her son. It’s a warm, fluffy feeling Hypnos is always chasing more of.
So for now, he will continue to let you believe that only you can hear your words of love and adoration for him as well as your caring gestures of your love, at least until he can return the favor tenfold.
Tumblr media
Dionysus Lip kisses|Sloppy
Where Dionysus goes jolly festivities and merriment follow, as well as you of course. And what are these festivities if not without a little bit of wine. It’d be absolutely preposterous after all to attend a feast without an offering you know.
And we all know how Dionysus is with wine. You see, when you attend a feast with Dionysus by the hands of the mortals, or any feast with Dionysus for that matter, he loves to show you off. Constantly gushing about what an amazing partner you are.
And with that showing off can come with a bit of possessiveness. So when Dionysus gets to be clingy, you remind him just how much you love him with some kisses.
Dionysus loves to kiss you as he swears he can get more drunk off of your lips than the wine. He reminds you constantly of how you taste better than the finest ambrosia.
You don’t mind his kisses yourself. Yes it can be messy, with Dionysus being constantly in a state of intoxication, but you can always taste the remnants of the contents of his everlasting goblet against his lips. Making the sweetness of his kisses worth all of the awkward nose bumps and accidental teeth clashes.
All in all if Dionysus were to have to choose between never drinking wine again and you, he’d choose you every time, as you provide all the happiness he could ever need in his lifetime.
Tumblr media
Ares Neck kisses|Passionate
When the fires of war are blazing so are the fires of passion.
Yes, Ares loves nothing more than to watch the bloodshed of a raging battlefield with you by his side. He caresses your waist as he presses fiery kisses into your shoulder, trailing them slowly up to your neck.
The clashing of swords satiating his hunger for blood in the most intense way, leading him to sometimes get a bit too rough with you.
There are times when the battle can get to his head and that can cause him to almost lose himself, if only for a short moment. A bite, too hard for your liking. The sting against your neck intensifying the raging action on the war zone below. You gasp and flinch away, causing him to realize what he’d done.
He’d apologize by kissing you much more softer, but finds it hard to restrain himself when he seeing the droplets of blood seeping through the wound from his bite mark against your neck.
He holds back to the best of his abilities as he cleans the wound with his lips. It causes you slight pain, but this time you feel as if it is more tolerable when he is caring for you rather than going feral.
You know he never intends to hurt you, and if push comes to shove he will always try to fix it and take care of you afterwards. All you can do is be there when he needs you, when the hunger becomes too much for him to handle, and he needs someone to pull him back to reality.
He’d be lost without you, a friend, a lover, and a lifeline. He would fight to the ends of the earth for you, and you would do the same. Truly, all is fair in love and war.

PLEASE spare crumbs for more Hypnos headcanons? 🥺 Both N/SFW?
I'm not taking requests at the moment but I can't help but love my man Hypnos, hopefully you enjoy this small smattering of headcanons anon as it is just pure brainrot.
CW: NSFW under the cut, sleepy sex, possibly but not really exhibitionism
Hypnos SFW and NSFW headcanons
SFW
There really is no sweeter boyfriend than Hypnos, no one even comes close
Despite how lazy he might seem, spending most of his time sleeping and all, he actually pays plenty of attention with anything that pertains to you
It's almost funny watching the way he perks up and peeks from behind his eye mask as soon as your name is mentioned
His affection doesn't stop his corny jokes, however
Expect some sort of comment every time you see him
Now you're dating some of them even have a more flirtatious undertone, though that's mostly kept in private
I do feel like Hypnos would love for you to meet his family, he has so many family members and all of them are dear to him
He especially likes if you end up being close to his Mother
Hypnos is very fond of physical attention too, any time he can be touching you he will
Definitely drags you on top of him to nap, just wraps you up against him all snuggly in his blanket cloak thing
NSFW
I feel like Hypnos is just as sweet in bed as he is out of it
He definitely has a bit of a variable libido, he goes through phases where he needs a little encouragement and others where he can't keep his hands off you
Thanatos has definitely chastised his brother for getting too handy with you on public
When he gets you in private, all bets are off
Huge fan of clothed sex and it's almost entirely because of his laziness
Hypnos is more than happy to half undress you and bend you over his bed when the mood strikes him
Also, the king of sweet morning sex
All tired and sleepy, bleary eyes as hands roam just a little too far
Before you know it, You're pressed tight to his chest as he thrusts into you slowly and whispers praises against your hair
He loves feeling you close against him, even if he might not be able to meet your eyes
Just the way you feel so so soft against his fingers, so real
Hypnos loves holding your hands while making love, I don't take criticism about this

Could I request something platonic with Thanatos meeting and becoming friends with a shade reader who is Hypnos’ wife and mother of the oneiroi (as to how they had the kids, either through some random bullshit or their relationship started when wifey was alive and the children were had sometime before her death and brought into the Underworld to be with their mother)? Previously, no one knew about Hyp’s wife or kids outside of Hades, Persephone (because there’s no way he’s handling a secret relationship on his time off AND somehow got his kids into the Underworld without them knowing), and maybe Zag if he encountered wifey and the children on his runs.
I’m sorry if this is weirdly detailed. I just thought it’d be a cute concept. I love Thanatos deeply (the wing emoji I sign off with refers to both Hyp and Than), but that doesn’t mean I don’t think sometimes platonic stuff with him can also be really cute.
-🪽anon
Thanatos & Shade!Sister-In-Law!Reader
Honestly, it’s a miracle that you managed to keep the marriage, not to mention, the kids secret for so long; especially with how much Hypnos has been dying (no pun intended) to gush about you
You mentioned Hades and Persephone are the only ones who know, but I don’t think he’d be able to keep it from his mother Nyx either; they both live and work together, and she’s perceptive as hell
In the original mythology, there’s 1000 Oneiroi, but for this ask I’m just gonna stick to the triplets: Morpheus, Phobetor and Phantasos
I can’t really think of an origin for them either, so I’m just gonna say Hypnos pulled some godly magic to make it possible and now you’re both parents
I think you’d spend a lot of time in the nursery, looking after the babies, so that would be where Zag meets you (whenever Hypnos isn’t in his usual spot by the Styx at the end of the run, he’ll be in the nursery with you)
The nursery would be painted to look like the night sky, with glow in the dark stars on the ceiling
If your room would help Zag in any way, I think you would give him one of the babies’ toys to borrow, but they’re actually imbued with some kind of dream magic that can stun monsters or something idk
Or maybe you’d just full on give him one of your babies (they can use dream magic on the monsters and make them weaker/stun them), and when he dies, they just poof back to the nursery
So, one day, Zag and Than would be sitting in the lounge and talking, and Zag would make some kind of throwaway comment (something casual like “oh, I met Hypnos’ wife yesterday, she was lovely, your nephews are adorable”), and Than would be worried that he’s completely lost it
“Hypnos… is not married, nor does he have a children. I believe he would’ve told me, like he tells me everything else.”
But Zag insists, and now Than has to see this for himself, so he accompanies Zag on one of his runs, and that’s where they finally reach the nursery
You and Hypnos would be putting the babies down for a nap when you hear someone arrive, assuming it’s Zag, but as soon as Hypnos realises his brother is there, he gets very nervous
He’s never kept anything from his brother for, and he’s been feeling so guilty about keeping something as big as this from him
The only reason he kept it from him was because he didn’t think Than would understand, or he’d just get even more annoyed with Hypnos if he started showing him the countless hypothetical photos in his hypothetical wallet
Than’s just standing there in shock, staring between Hypnos’ stuttering, your sheepish smile, and the sleeping triplets in their crib; his gaze lingers on the crib the longest and he slowly floats over to it, peering down inside
When he sees his nephews—nephews—in there, looking all cute and sleepy, something tugs on his heart; he was prepared to be angry with his brother for keeping this from him, but thinking back to the way he always dismisses Hypnos for his job… wow, maybe he wouldn’t have even told himself about something like this
He and Hypnos have a brotherly hug and some heartfelt apologies, with Thanatos promising to be supportive of your relationship; and he lives up to that promise
Whenever both you and Hypnos are busy, he’d be glad to babysit; he’d either be carrying them in a baby carrier for triplets (two on his front, one on his back), or when they’re older, on child leashes as he goes about his job like it’s normal
Yes, the mortals are a little confused when Death finally comes for them, and he’s got three babies trying to chew on his scythe
On the rare occasions he gets a break, he’d chat with you in the nursery; asking you questions about your relationship with Hypnos, helping with the babies (he’d rather not change a diaper, though), and just getting to know you
I don’t know if he can do this, but for the sake of this ask let’s say he can, he brings back souvenirs from the surface; little wildflowers that he asks Persephone to preserve, toys that he sees lying around, anything
It reminds you of your old home on the surface, and it makes the babies giggle and squeal with delight as they play
Overtime, you start to become good friends, and he finally feels comfortable enough to call you his sister
Sometimes, when Zag reaches the nursery, Thanatos might be there too, holding onto a laughing baby, his stoic demeanour cracking ever-so-slightly
Can you imagine Hypnos’ face when he sees you both calling each other brother and sister for the first time? He has never smiled that wide in his life, and he instantly pulled you both into a tight hug
Overall, he’s a very good brother-in-law and uncle, loves you, his brother and your babies; but don’t you dare hurt his twin, or he will make your afterlife hell

[ hypnos (hades) x f!reader ] (18+)
[ TAGS ] explicit sexual content, lovesick, somnophilia, yandere, Hypnos is kinda a pervert, and by kinda I mean really, obsession, touch starved, non-con / dub-con because you’re asleep and of course the God of Sleep is going to take advantage of that, possessive behavior, body worship, oral fixation, male whimpering, pining, coaxing, Hypnos is shy and inexperienced and absolutely obsessed with you but that does NOT make him innocent in any of this, I’m incapable of not adding angst to everything

Tumblr media
“Well, don’t let me keep you, sweetling,” Hypnos says, gaze dancing over yours. “You better run along before someone sees you with all this lovely contraband. You could get in a lot of trouble–and we wouldn’t want that, now would we?”
You swallow thickly, shake your head, unsure if he actually expects an answer.
His smile grows, and you feel yourself tense as he leans down closer to your ear. “Or perhaps you would…?” you hear his cheshire grin. He chuckles, his laughter tickling your skin, and then he’s rising once more to his full height before you. “Off you go then.”
You’re a servant in the Underworld, and Hypnos – God of Sleep, Brother of Death – is undyingly obsessed with you.
What better way to worship that which he’s pined for from afar than to do what he does best? Lull you, unsuspecting, into the warm and darkened depths of sleep, before taking what he wants from you?
Wherein Hypnos, the obsessive embodiment of sleep, takes advantage of you while you're sleeping.

All I do is dream of you
wc: 1.3k+
warnings: she/her pronouns for reader
Often, rests. Rarely, she dreams. Even more rare is when she dreams with him.
alt. description: little snippets of y/n as she waits for hypnos to wake up
.
.
.
The woman woke up in a field of flowers. Most of them reached up to around her fingertips, kissing them slightly. Her hands danced to themselves, clenching as she’d look around her and unclenching as she’d realize the state of her hands. It felt so familiar, to be standing in a field of lavender, poppies, and the like; underneath a cottonwood tree.
“Hey there, poppy,” a gentle voice whispered behind her ear. Her heart leapt and she turned to see Hypnos, standing from a distance. Fluffy cloud hair, and all.
She ran over to him. Over tall grassy, greens. Over hills of lavender purple. Over valleys of poppy red. Goodness, there were so many colours around her, around him. She couldn't remember the last time she saw so many in one glance. Her heartbeat ran faster than her legs could afford, and it cascaded up and down in a frantic rhythm.
“Hypnos..!” When was the last time she saw his hair with such familiarity? Cloudlike. Sheeplike. Nostalgic. Just like memories of the House of Hades.
She grasped him, weakly tugging at his hair, his clothes, his duvet, his everything..
“Woah, hey!” He merely giggled, stumbling back from the sudden weight, and yet her heart soared. “It's not like I'm going anywhere, poppy! Not yet, at least.”
She found herself sighing into his duvet, hugging him tight, as if he could disappear the very next moment. “Tell me, Hypnos.. Am I dreaming, or hallucinating?”
He smiled at her, hugging her back and grinning into her hair.
“Both; the best kind,” he whispered, moving to give her a peck on the forehead before returning to embrace her once more.
“I miss you,” she whispered, peppering his sheep-white hair with kisses. Hypnos smiled kindly, softly at her.
“I know,” he sighed into her embrace. “I miss you too.”
“I know.”
They rested under the comfort of a cottonwood tree's shade. Dusty cotton seeds danced lightly around the air like the clouds themselves. Hypnos let out a content sigh, breathing in the nostalgic feel of acceptance, closeness and caring; emotions that his heart spoke out to him; emotions that swam in her eyes with fondness.
He rested his head on her shoulder, while she rested her head on his head. Hypnos could feel her grin atop his head as she fiddled with his hair, braiding it carefree.
He hesitated. It was so lovely, being there with her. He'd been among many dreams, restless and yet never waking. Her dreams, however, were always a place of solace. A rare comfort he could only afford once every blue moon. He moved to the side and brushed his hands across her head, kissing it lightly.
“I've got to go, love..” Hypnos whispered. He aimed his hand with hers and squeezed it.
She interlaced her fingers with his own, rubbing his hand softly. Slowly, she moved to grasp his wrist weakly, kissing his palm. “..Fire more minutes?”
He was so soft.
With a spare hand, he plucked a poppy and placed it behind her ears. His fingers brushed against the edge lightly, and both of them fought off any shivering sensation. “Always, for you.”
She felt her eyes force themselves open as she came to her senses. Her fingers twitched, interlocked in cool, pale-blue hands. 
“Back to the Crossroads, I see,” Melionë greeted; saluting, as per usual. “Moonlight guide you.”
She leaned against Hypnos’ unmoving body. It was cold; unresting and yet always at rest. Her heart ached.
His hair was so long.
“Moonlight guide you too, Princess.” She rubbed her eyes, picking up a flower from among Hypnos’ gifted collection of poppy red. She fiddled with it, twisting the flower back and forth.“I just… missed him, is all,” she sighed.
“And I am sure he misses you, too.” The princess gave her lightly furrowed eyebrows, and a hesitant, yet comforting, hand on the shoulder.
She smiled weakly to the princess. “I know.”
“I'll give you a tip,” he spoke, grinning tiredly with his lips as they rested in a field of flowers and colours. Though his eyes showed that same telltale tiredness, they betrayed no grin. They were nervous, awkward, and hadn't been such in quite a while.
“Yes?” She fiddled with his hands.
“It's okay to move on..” his voice shook, raw, squeaky and unsure. (Y/N) tried to meet him in the eyes, but he looked anywhere else. “If you want to.” That was the one sentence he said without err, before they increased in quickness and shakiness. He gulped. “I-I know how hard it is to wait for someone who rarely ever shows up”
“I know.” She said quietly, as her eyes flickered down for but a brief moment. Hypnos felt his heart falling south. “I don't want to, though.” And besides, I have you here,” she kissed the top of his head. “Here,” she pointed to her heart. “And here, at the crossroads. So long as your heart is here with me, I'll always love you. That's okay too, is it not?”
He smiled, heart threatening to spill over. He hugged her as tightly as either of them could afford. “It's more than alright.”
As per habit, she lightly sat down into the brown, earthy hammock; careful not to disturb Hypnos, who laid softly and soundly already, as he had been doing so for years, though she knew she could never wake him up. His breathing was gentle and slow. She heard him snoring softly as she made herself comfortable over the many small red poppies that greeted her like one of their own.
She gently rested one of her hands onto Hypnos’ hands and squeezed gently, before settling to close her eyes and rest for a brief moment.
However, she found that Sleep, as gentle as it is, denied her rest for the next few minutes. It was odd to have her eyes closed and yet not receive any comfort nor repose nor break from the stress of carefully planned rebellion.  
Oddly enough, she felt cold hands gradually warm up, for just the slightest amount, as they slowly interlocked with her own.
(Y/N)’s heart stopped. 
Then, slowly, it returned. Her heartbeat started by testing the waters, nervous and unsure, awkward and clumsy. Until she blinked, and realized that it ran faster than her legs could afford. Eventually, it cascaded up and down in a frantic rhythm. She fiddled with Hypnos’ fingertips, they fiddled back. Her eyes shot open.
Golden yellow eyes met her own. His shined like native gold; precious and lovely, pure and untarnished. They were rare and dear to her heart; more important than any metals or jewels or precious items, despite the resemblance.
(Y/N) let out a breath she didn't know she was holding.
“Hypnos..!” 
Hypnos hummed quickly, feeling her skin for what felt like the first time. “Hey there, poppy,” he said. She held him close and dear; tightly, as if he could fade to dream at any moment, to which he gasped lightly and joked. “Woah, hey there! It's not like I'm going anywhere. Not anymore.”
She wouldn't go, shaking ever so slightly. Whispering in his hair, she let out a shaky sigh. “Tell me, Hypnos..” He rhythmically pat her pillow-soft head, up and down and up and down, until he felt her slow down just the littlest bit. “Am I dreaming, or hallucinating?”
He shifted to hug her with his entirely smiling fondly. “Neither.”
She returned the hug once more before letting go and facing him. Hypnos had to fight back a whine, until he saw the softness of her gentle eyes and melted completely. “I missed you,” she said, looking directly into his eyes.
“I know.” He accepted a quick peck on the cheek from her, before kissing her back chastely on the forehead. “I missed you, too.”

Hello! I saw your headcanon post for Thanatos and Zagreus if their s/o (separate, not a poly) went missing and was wondering if you could please write headcanons for how Hypnos would react in that same scenario where his s/o just disappears from the underworld or goes missing for unknown reasons? Thank you so much!!!
Fandom: Hades
Character(s): Hypnos
Note(s): Had to do a bit of digging to find the other request since it's been a while, but here you go!!
Tumblr media
Hypnos
He tries to tell himself that you just went on a walk or something. There's no way you'd just up and leave him, right? Hypnos is doing his best to stay positive and calm about the situation even if his heart is sinking and he has a bad feeling in his gut.
Hypnos would ask Zagreus to keep an eye out for you. He'd ask Thanatos too - if his brother ever talks to him. He can't leave the House and so he's hoping that someone is able to find you.
Will try and find you in your dreams, if he can. You might have left the underworld, but his powers go beyond that. Hypnos just desperately hopes you're okay and he needs to find you. He can't help his descent into worry and madness at you being missing for too long.
When Hypnos does see you again, he tries to play off his worry. Of course, you're okay. Why wouldn't you be? You were probably just avoiding him like his brother does. Despite him acting nonchalant, he will bury his face into the crook of your neck and hold you close because he was so scared of you being gone.

The Eros of May
WMFTD!Y/N x Hypnos
(Day 21)
Wordcount: 300
Summary: Told in snapshots. There is a beautiful man with sleepy golden eyes, warm skin kissed by the sun and the lingering days of spring.
Warnings: no beta
notes: a writing challenge for myself, I took two different challenges and mashed them together. Credit to this post and this post and their creator for making these challenges.
One more thing, these are out-of-order, not a straight timeline. Sorry for any confusion.
To find the rest, use ‘The eros of may’ tag please.
Porch
The sun dipped in lavender twilight, the humidity finally dying off with it. Hypnos slump into the swing patio chair with a groan, his feet dangling off the side as the chair begins to sway. 
The breeze was finally beginning to pick up but the heat of the day was baked into the earth at this point.
He grimaced as he fanned himself. His hair was up in a messy bun, exposing his smooth nape.“So hot today. We might go back for a dip in the ocean.”
You grunted in agreement, tearing your eyes away as you decided to lay on the cool wood of the porch, rolling onto your stomach and resting your head on folded arms. 
The ‘lake’ house’s ac broke that morning and Hypnos’ apartment was ancient, with only a window unit that barely worked.
Fingers brushed along your spine, then disappeared only to return a moment later but you didn’t move. It repeated a few times before Hypnos spoke up.
”I called that guy, he will be here tomorrow.” Hypnos said in apology, the swing chair loud in the quiet. You lifted your head up, “ Don’t blame you. Just bad timing.” 
The conversation ended there, and you closed your eyes. 
You heard Hypnos get off the chair, then a weight settled on your hips and you twisted your head around to lift an eyebrow at him. 
He gestured at you to lay back down. 
You grumbled but obeyed with a huff, closing your eyes again. With slow, even movements, his slender fingers gently work into your skin. You gave an appreciated moan, both at his touch and at the strong breeze that flew past.
”I don’t know if I like your back the most or your chest.” Hypnos confessed, pausing to work out a knot between your shoulder blades. You hummed, he could admit to murder right now and you wouldn’t care much as long he kept working his magic.
Once the knot was gone, Hypnos leaned down, his chest against your back, his lips brushing against your ear. “You know- I heard certain activities could help beat the heat as they say.”
”Oh?” You rumbled, amused. “Maybe you should show me.” 
With that Hypnos rolled, you took a moment to miss the free massage then you got up to follow him, his hand in yours.

Hades boys! When you’re in an argument!
This is my take on how the hades boys would react if you were to get into an argument
Very minor spoilers for Hypnos’ locked heart event.
Word Count: 1,247 (Approx)
Tumblr media
Zagreus
-Zagreus is friendly with all people of the house of hades, so with that comes questions. Lots and lots of questions.
-How could he not? He’s interested in you and wants to show he cares by learning all about you.
-Until the inevitable happens and he asks a question too personal for your taste. Naturally, you get snippy with him.
-He’ll immediately apologize, but it’ll be in vain. You lecture him about diving into other people’s personal business, and send him away.
-Zagreus would feel pretty bad about it after. He meant no harm or malice. He was simply curious, and his own lack of common sense caused him to upset you. He decides to take matters into his own hands once again, and try to make it up to you.
-Over the course of his next few runs, he gathers nectar and hopes to run into you. When he finally does catch up to you again, you have had time to cool off, and before he could apologize to you, you beat him to it.
-“I’m sorry Zagreus,” You start, “I didn’t mean to blow up at you I was just angry in the moment. You didn’t know that would offend me, and instead of yelling at you I should have instead explained that I didn’t want to answer the question, forgive me?”
-“What? No, its really me who should be apologizing to you. You were right about me getting involved in things that aren’t my business. I’m really sorry for offending you, I didn’t mean to. Please accept this apology gift of nectar. I hope I can make it up to you someday.” He says presenting the pristine bottle to you.
-You smile, accepting the gift. You give him a hug and suggest sharing the bottle in the lounge. Zagreus says he’d like that, and (at Zagreus’ insistence) you would discuss your boundaries regarding questions. As well as telling him a bit about yourself you don’t mind sharing.
-Next time Zagreus sees you it’s on much better terms, and you’re happy to answer any questions he might have as long as he sticks to your agreement.
Tumblr media
Thanatos
-Thanatos is naturally dark and brooding, but don’t mistake that for anger. As he is actually very sweet when it comes down to it, if not a bit abrupt.
-However, that does not mean he doesn’t get cross with people. Especially when it comes down to his work.
-When you first arrived at the house of hades, you automatically took a liking to him. His visits to the house were far and few in between, but when he did show up, you bet you were taking advantage of the opportunity.
-You even got a job at the administrative chambers to try and get more chances to talk to him.
-Whenever he delivered reports to you, you would try to engage in conversation.
-His answers were always short and direct, but you’d take what you could get. He’d often disappeared right after as well. Leaving you a little disappointed.
-One day, the rare occurrence of him being in the house came around. The prince walking away after chatting with him and giving you a small wave. You just finished collecting a few reports from Hypnos and you have a few moments to spare.
-“Hey Thanatos!” You shout out.
-“Why must you insist on bothering me so when we both have jobs to do?” He replied.
-“What?”
-“I’m very busy every day, yet every time i must interact with you, you postpone my duties with idle chatter. Why?”
-You scoff, “I’m just being friendly, I didn’t realize your such a workaholic you can’t spare a few seconds to answer how you’ve been.”
-“I suggest you worry more about yourself and your work ethic before criticizing mine.”
-With the toll of a gong he was gone, and you were upset.
-As the weeks past by every time, Thanatos would deliver a report to you, you’d give him the cold shoulder. He often look at you expectantly, but you wouldn’t mutter a peep to him. You didn’t want to disturb his oh so important work after all.
-Eventually, Zagreus was the one to get fed up with your silent feud. Bringing the topic up to Than the next time he got the chance. Than relented that maybe he was too harsh in his treatment of you. After all you were just trying to be friendly. Even though it’d hurt his pride, he promised Zagreus he’d talk to you.
-Sure enough, he took the next chance he could to talk to you. He told you he didn’t realize how much he missed your pointless questions. That he simply didn’t want to be held up with his work, as it very important for death to be punctual and he got annoyed with you because of it. You said you understood, but really you just wanted to get to know him better. How you didn’t realize it was holding him up at all. He admitted he overreacted, and made a promise to you the next time you both had a break, to spend time with you.
-You told him you’d hold him to that promise
Tumblr media
Hypnos
-It’s no secret Hypnos has his flaws. Yes, he can be lazy, gets easily sidetracked, and often sleeps on the job, but being one of the few people who smile around here, he actually drew you in.
-On the rare occurrences he’d actually be awake, he’d often try to engage in conversation with the shades. Most would ignore his antics, all but you.
-You’d entertain his silly chats, coming to quite enjoy the time you’d spend together. It was a breath of fresh air to have someone cheerful to hang around.
-Then, the time came when you asked him to join you for a break. A time to hangout together and do things important to you.
-He agreed but when the time came for you to meet…he didn’t show up.
-You sought him out feeling a bit hurt he’d abandon your plans like that. After shaking him awake, he spoke excuse after excuse, promising you it wouldn’t happen again and he’d meet you the next time.
-You conceded, it was only one time, it really could have been an honest mistake.
-Until it happened again, and again, and again…
-By this point you were hurt, frustrated, and disappointed. So, you got angry with Hypnos. Saying that the things people said about him were true. How he’s a self absorbed lowlife who never takes anything seriously and only cares about himself.
-After that a few weeks pass by with you not running into Hypnos. Rumors spurred that he was…actually working? Apparently you weren’t the only person to blow up at him that day.
-Hypnos appeared in front of you later, and apologized for missing out on the times you tried to get to know him. He said that his twin Thanatos really made him have a realization into getting his work in check, and the importance of proper priorities. He ended his schpeal by saying he’d start prioritizing you when he got the chance, and invited you to spend some time with him the next time he got a break.
-This time he was true to his word.

Hear me out!
Zagreus having a twin sister [reader] who has a crush on Hypnos. She’s rather shy but when in the right crowd or surrounded by others that share the same interests or she’s comfortable with she opened up.
[like how I am irl]
I can imagine Zagreus trying to push her to confess her feelings, and her fumbling the bag everytime either running off with some sorry excuse or being Hypnos being called away by Hades.
heck Zagreus even gave her some nectar to give to Hypnos, and she couldn’t even bring herself to give it to him.
*screams into pillow*
Zagreus is that supportive older twin brother.even tho his relationship with Meg id no longer existent

It’s always nice to see a new blog! Would it be possible to request headcanons of Hypnos with a reader (fem or GN if you don’t write fem) who is like his Pasithea, except maybe a human or even a shade rather than a Grace? If this request is too vague or needs changing, please do tell. I just dearly love Hypnos.
If you allow anons signing off, then
-🪽Anon
A/N: I’m so happy this was my first request, I love Hypnos 🥹 he’s the whole reason I downloaded the game in the first place
Hypnos x Shade!Wife!Reader
This man is the definition of malewife and no one can convince me otherwise
I have a headcanon that Hypnos is actually a good cook, but he gets too distracted or tired to keep track of the time and ends up burning it
Each time he does, he offers it to you with a sheepish smile and a, “Tada!” (you have shared many a burnt meal together, but you don’t care)
When he does manage to make dinner without cremating it, it’s the warmest, most comforting food that no one in the Underworld can rival
Loves it when you visit and sit with him at work, finds himself actually putting effort in to impress you (he loves receiving words of affirmation, please give him all the praises)
On his break, he’ll just slump against your shoulder (I read a headcanon somewhere that his cloak/blanket thing is sentient, so imagine it wrapping around you both to induce sleepy-time snuggles)
He loves the fact that you listen to all his rambles with an attentive and lovestruck smile on your face instead of getting annoyed like everyone else
He’ll return the favour by making the effort to stay awake to spend time with you and listen to everything you say, hanging off your every word even when he’s tired (that’s when you know Hypnos is in deep)
If they serve milkshakes in the lounge (probably don’t, but let’s imagine), he’d definitely want to get one glass two straws to share (same with spaghetti, he wants to Lady and the Tramp it - sharing is another of his love languages)
You can’t cuddle with him if you’re busy, his sleepy aura will rub off on you and you’ll both be dozing like sleepy kittens - get all your work done before
Speaking of cuddles, he’s the little spoon, I won’t hear anything else - likes to be curled up in the fetal position as you try and find a comfortable way to wrap your arms around him somehow (you manage eventually)
The cutest and most romantic dreamscape dates - I think he’d be a picnic under the stars kind of guy
Whenever Zag gives him nectar, he shares it with you
Might be a bit of a love-bomber without realising it; if it bothers you and you tell him it does, he’ll make an effort to tone it down
He’ll ramble about you to whoever remotely looks like they’re paying attention, twirling his hair and kicking his feet while talking about how sweet and wonderful and amazing and perfect you are, and how good your hair smells, and how good you look in your favourite outfit, and-
That’s all I can think of right now :) Hope I did your ask and our favourite sleepy boi justice!

From Summer to Fall
Hypnos x Reader
Hypnos grows a crush on the last summer of his teenage years, but the person of his affections seems pretty close to Zagreus. Considering it's not the first time Hypnos had a crush on Zagreus' girlfriend (at the time), Hypnos does all he could to resist this crush.

I am…experiencing
another Hypnos brainrot ^^
I just imagine Zag goes up to him and mentions you, asking Hypnos how he feels about you.
Hypnos will reply with something positive but will very heavily imply that he has a crush on you, averting his eyes and pretending he isn’t blushing as he goes on about you—making Zag have the genius idea to ask
“Smash or pass 😃” and he’s rubbing his hands together like a fly in his head because he knows you’d totally fuck Hypnos.
He’s very surprised when Hypnos says smash with absolutely no hesitation lmao

hypnos x reader where reader is constantly waiting for hypnos at the crossroads (he gives her truthful dreams where she's all "I miss you," and he's all "I know. I miss you too,") and Mel's there wondering if she'll ever miss and love someone that much (the loss she feels is forced onto her via her role to slay the titan) and her mind drifts to icarus and its implied that she misses him (she doesn't realize it)
