Scm - Department of Punishment

Scorpio ♏- Forever and Always

A/N: Hello, sweetie ❤ I tried my best. Hope you like this story. 🥺🌹

I walked slowly towards the door, making sure to walk away unnoticed. As i stepped outside, i felt the cool air softly brushing against my cheeks. I took a deep breath, relaxing my shoulders which hurt slightly after spending most of the day in preparation of the ceremony.

The stars were slowly illuminating the sky.

I walked aimlessly for sometime before heading towards the forest, when i noticed the enchanted lake, whose water was glowing with a mild blue light. The stars being reflected on its surface, like diamonds.

As i walked closer, i felt the presence of an aura, which was still at its early stage of development.

I halted trying to get a closer look at the figure, but he was facing his back towards me. Waiting there for a few minutes, debating whether i should just turn back and walk to the palace or snap my fingers; i decided to walk forward.

Sensing my energy, the man turned around.

To my relief, it was Scorpio. He smiled at me, " ( Name), what are you doing here? "

" I just wanted to get some fresh air ", which wasn't a complete lie, after all walking in the forest felt a lot better than smiling at another guest and occasionally answering questions; while father spoke to them.

" What are you doing here?" i asked.

" It felt suffocating, being surrounded by so many people", he replied pointing towards the palace. A wry smile graced on his lips as he said that.

Unsure of what to say, i asked, "Can i sit there?"

" Yes of course ", he replied promptly. As i sat beside him, he slightly shifted as if unsure about sitting beside me; even though there was enough space between us.

The leaves of the trees rustled softly. Moonlight being reflected in the water, ever so brightly by each passing minute. Peaceful silence fell upon us.

"How have you been lately? ", i asked. He remained silent for a few seconds," I am alright. I ... ", instead of continuing, he looked down at his hands, curled up on his lap.

"Scorpio?", my voice laced with concern as i placed my hand on his shoulder, " What happened?"

There was a strange glimmer in his eyes as he looked at me. " I don't think, i should... be here."

" What happened? Did someone say something to you or hurt you?", i asked trying my best to suppress the rage that was building up in my heart at the thought of someone hurting my beloved friend. "Father will punish those who have wronged you", i added; to reassure him that he had nothing to be afraid of.

" No, nobody has said or done anything against me, here. On the contrary, most people have helped me and for those who are envious of my position,... they have maintained their distance. " he paused, taking a deep breath, " I just feel like, i shouldn't be here. I am just a nobody after all, who was mortal few years ago."

His eyes were focused on the trees behind me, "His Majesty, has been kind enough to honor me with a place in one of the departments but i know that i don't deserve it. It should go to, someone deserving, someone," he once again looked down at his hands, " ...someone special. "

Placing my fingers under his chin, i gently turned his face towards me, "Scorpio..., i don't think i or anyone can fully comprehend what you have been through or how you are feeling, but i want you to know that nothing can take away your value as a person. Nobody can determine what you deserve or what you don't. You are a hard working person, a capable vice minister." My voice was filled with admiration as i said that.

" You are special in your own unique ways. " i added looking deep into his inky black eyes, which held the most breathtaking pairs of stars.

Scorpio looked away as if debating something deep in his soul. His hand slipped into the pocket of his trouser and retrieved a small black box.

Looking at me, he whispered, "I have been meaning to tell you something for a while."

" I love you ", he said. His hand slightly trembled as he extended the box towards me. Beads of sweat started to appear on his forehead as he struggled to find the right words. The presumption that i have rejected him evident on his face.

Little did he knew that my heart was pounding in my chest as i heard him utter those words.

I quickly took the box in my hands, hoping he wouldn't get the wrong idea. His shoulders relaxed as he asked me to open it.

The box contained a gorgeous pair of anklets, made out of pure gold. Little flower patterns were embellished on it with small rubbies placed at the centre of each flower.

" Where did you find these? ", i asked, astonished. Knowing that none of the goldsmiths in heaven make this kind of anklets.

He replied rather sheepishly, " I was send to Earth on a mission, there i saw these and... i thought they will look wonderful on you." His face grew hot; red as an apple. I couldn't help but smile at the adorable expression on his face.

" Thank you", i said and placed a soft kiss on his cheek; his face became redder.

" Will you help me put them on, Scorpio?"

Instead of replying, he went down on his knees. He untied the laces of my shoes. Unclasping one of the anklets, he placed it around my ankle and clasped it on. He did the same with the other anklet. His eyes lingered on them as he was tying the laces of my shoes, " Gorgeous " he said.

He set a delicate kiss on my right leg. He looked up anticipating me to halt him and tell him, he had crossed the line. Instead i smiled at him. Tenderly caressing my skin, he planted more kisses. Each touch sending shivers down my spine. Placing a final kiss on my knees, he sat stood up.

Once he sat down beside me, i intertwined my fingers with his. Leaning on his shoulder, i asked, " Will you come to visit father tomorrow?"

Hearing my question, his shoulders slightly tensed, after all being in the presence of The King made even the most powerful Gods nervous and even more so, if they happen to be in love with his one and only daughter.

Scorpio cleared his throat and replied, " I will if you want me too." I couldn't help myself from giggling at the way he tried to appear fearless, even though his voice betrayed him.

Once he realised that i was only teasing him, he chuckled as well.

We decided to spend some more time in each other's company and stayed in the forest watching the sky bring new stars with each passing hour.

|Lee - Suction Cup Man -- Ler - Guy Business|

___________________________________________

"Oooh, I've been climbin' up ya towwwerrr! You can kiss my asssss!!"

Guy Business heard distant singing. ...He recognized that voice!

"Ooh, I've been climbin' up ya towwwwerrr! And I'm smudgin' up your glasssss! Hey!"

"HEY! Don't take another SUCK, Suction Cup Man!" Guy Business slammed open his window and was met with a climbing Suction Cup Man. "Ah, top of the tower to ya, business dummy!" Suction Cup Man said with the biggest smile ever, giving Guy Business a little wave. "Don't call me that. And it's a FRIDAY!! IT'S NOT THE WEEKEND!!" Guy Business informed, putting his hands on his hips. "Yeahhhh, but I got bored! Plus, I wanna shout random shit and run away from the cops again!" "Again?" "Yeah, they saw me climbin' up an abandoned school, and I got in trouble for it." Suction Cup Man explained, taking his hands of two of his suction cups and shrugging. "Why... okay... but still! I said only WEEKENDS!" Guy Business shook his head to get out of his confused state and back to his disappointed one. "Pff, okay, and? Whatcha gonna do to stop me?!" Suction Cup Man remarked smugly, crossing his arms and raising an eyebrow while smirking. "...Okay that's it." Guy Business stomped away.

Suction Cup Man was there sticking to the window for about 5 minutes until Guy Business came back, huffing. "I don't have any more Anti-Suction Cup window cleaners..." "Haha! Dumbass!" SCM laughed at him. Guy Business huffed, then got an idea. He grinned and then closed the window. Suction Cup Man blinked as his giggles slowed down as his face was a mix of suspicion and confusion. But was met with the closest window opening and being pulled into the building. "W-WOAH HEY!!" SCM was caught of gaurd as he was pulled into the dark building as the window closed behind him. He blinked and looked around the dark room before he looked in front of him and saw Guy Business. He shrieked and fell on his ass. "Ow! The FUCK is your problem!?" Suction Cup Man looked up at Guy Business as fear slowly started to sink in. "You wanna laugh, eh?" Guy Business's grin grew menacing as he stepped closer to SCM. Suction Cup Man gulped and scooted away, scooting into a wall above a window. He had no chance to escape as he looked up at Guy Business with wide eyes. "I'll give you something to laugh about, asshole..." "Wh-What do you meeeeANNNN---" SCM shrieked

Then, laughter filled the room when Guy Business started to tickle Suction Cup Man's stomach. "Ohhhh, NOW, you're laughing!" "BWAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA! H-HEHEHEHEHEY!! UNCAHAHAHALLED FOR!! UNCALLED FOOOOOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOR!!" Suction Cup Man put his hands on Guy Business's chest, trying but failing to push him off. "Ohhh, is that a smile? Is that a big smile?! Is it? Yeah? Is it?!" Guy Business teased in a baby voice, making Suction Cup Man's face flush. "NOOOHOHOHOHOHO! NO, IT'S NAHAHAHAHAT!! EHEHEHEHEHEHEHE *snort*" Guy Business laughed a little. "Oh my gohohod! Was that a snort?! Oh, I HAVE to hear THAT again!" Guy Business commented, now lightly squeezing behind Suction Cup Man's knees. "WAHAHAHAHAHAIT-- NOHOHOHOHOHOHO! YOU AHAHAHAHAHASS!! STAHAHAHAHAP!! *squeak*" Suction Cup Man pounded the floor with his fist. "No way! We made a deal, and you broke it! This is what you get!!" Guy Business laughed. "D-DUHUHUHUHUMMY NOHOHOHOHOHO!!" "I'm sorry, what was that you ticklish man?!" "NOOOHOHOHOHOHOHO!! DOHOHOHONT CALL ME THAHAHQHAHAT!! *snort & hic* SHIHIHIHIHIHIHIT!!" Suction Cup Man felt his face heating up. "...Don't you like play guitar?" Guy Business suddenly asked, raising a brow, now slowly tracing his finger along Suction Cup Man's neck, making SCM scrunch up his shoulders. "H-Hehehehehehe... y-yehehehehehes!!" Suction Cup Man answered the question in between little giggles. Guy Business smirked and started playing Suction Cup Man's ribs like guitar strings. "Is this bow you do it?" Guy Business asked innocently. "GAHAHAHAHA!! NOHOHOHOHOHOHO! NOHOHOHOHOHOHOT THAHAHAHAT! *snort* OH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHANYTHIHIHIHIHIHING BUT THAHAHAHAHAT! HAHAHAHAHAHA *hic* HAHAHAHAHA!!" Tears started to seep from Suction Cup Man's eyes as he kicked his legs, covering his eyes with his arm and trying to pry Guy Business's hand off of him. "Aww, are your ribs ticklish? Are your widdle bwaby rwibs ticklish?" Guy Business teased, making it worse. "NOOHOHOHOHOHOHO!! PLEHEHEHEHEHEHEASE!! I'M SOHOHOHOHOHORRY!! PLEHEHEHEHEHEHEASE!! I CAHAHAHAN'T BREEEEEHEHEHEHEHEHEATHE!!" Suction Cup Man squealed, snorted, and hiccuped. "Will you do it again?" "NOHOHOHOHOHO!! I WOHOHOHOHON'T JUHUHUHUHUHUHUST PLEHEHEHEHEASE!!! NOHOHOHOHOHO MOHOHOHOHOHOHORE!!" Suction Cup Man hiccuped and wheezed a little before Guy Business came to a stop

"Good!" Guy Business smiled and got up, dusting himself off. Suction Cup Man huffed and panted, letting out breathless giggles, curling into a ball. Guy Business chuckled a little. "You good?" He asked, genuinely a bit concerned. Suction Cup Man giggled and nodded. "Uh-huh... f-fuck mahan... your insane! Hehehe..." Suction Cup Man giggles came to a stop as he got up and took a deep breath. "OH, wow! Shit I haven't laughed that hard in GOD knows how long! ...Never do that to me again." Suction Cup Man pouted a little, crossing his arms. "Heh, no promises! Now get the fuck outta my tower." "I thought I had to get OFF ya tower." Suction Cup Man remarked back with sass. "Do you want me to tickle you agai--" "Nope, message received." Suction Cup Man cut Guy Business off, and in a panic, fumbled to open the window and get his suction cups. He put two on his feet and jumped out the window, gliding through the air with his suction cups and parachute.

As Guy Business went to close the window he heard a distant and faint: "FUCK YOU!!" He sighed and closed. His window, getting back to work. He knew Suction Cup Man would do this again. But now he had a method to count one. And for once, didn't mind.

💜The End🤍

Day Twenty-Five: Christmas at the Mansion (Choose your God or read all 12!)

It was the first Christmas after ____ had got married in the heavens, and as such the gods decided they should do something different that year. They still had the mansion so they decided that they would throw a party on Christmas Eve. Arriving at the mansion, ____ stepped into the hallway and was greeted by her husband…

Story 1: Leon

The new King of the Heavens smiled softly as she entered the mansion. “Glad to know you still know not to keep me waiting.”

“Are you sure it’s alright for you to be away from the heavens, even for a few hours?”

Leon frowned at her. “If the heavens cannot cope without my presence then it deserves to fall.”

“Leon…”

The other rolled his eyes. “I asked Minister Ponytail to stay up there for now. As long as one of the departments is there to report to me if necessary I can be up there in an instant.”

____ sighed softly. She knew full well why he had got Zyglavis to be the one who stayed up there - and it wasn’t because he trusted the other the most. She would have to make sure that someone else took over later so that the Minister of Punishments could take a break.

“How are you feeling?”

Hearing Leon’s tone unusually concerned, ____ smiled lovingly at him. “You don’t need to worry about the baby,” she reassured him. “If you start fretting you’ll worry Hue about that…”

Leon nodded and tried to relax. He looked back toward the living room door with slight irritation crossing his features. “Are you sure you want to bother with this nonsense?”

“Leon, our friends have gone to great lengths for this party tonight, we should at least attend! I’ve made cookies for everyone.”

“O ho? Making food for others again and saying so whilst standing in my presence, that’s rather bold of you.”

____  rolled her eyes. “I meant you as well, but…” she pulled a tub of meatballs out of the bag she’d been carrying. “I imagine you’d rather have these.”

Leon grinned at her and took them from her, before linking arms with her. “Come on then, let’s get this over with.”

“It seems rather quiet in here right now,” ____  murmured with surprise as they moved over to the doorway.

“I wanted that fish out of the way for the moment, so I summoned some snow. I think he and Teorus were making a snowman.”

Stifling a laugh at that, ____ headed into the living room with Leon. She smiled brightly at the others gathered, overjoyed to be reunited with almost everyone at once. As she sat down on the sofa and placed the plate of cookies she’d bought with her on the coffee table, Huedhaut went to pour a glass of wine for Leon.

The Head of Wishes, however, shook his head and draped an arm around ____’s shoulders. “I take it you haven’t been drinking?” He asked his wife.

“Of course not,” ____ murmured. “But that doesn’t mean you have to abstain from it as well.”

Leon smirked at her. “I’m sure you’ll think of a way to make it up to me.”

“Then if Leo’s not drinking, I won’t either,” Karno spoke up softly. “Besides that way, I’ll be with it enough to switch places with Zyglavis later.”

“You don’t have to bother with that,” Leon muttered.

“Tch,” Scorpio glared at him. “Perhaps I’ll go back right now and you can have him for the entire time.”

Leon sighed. “Fine. Karno if you are sure you’ll be alright doing that…”

“As your right hand man I see ____ more than a lot of us as it is,” Karno pointed out. “I really don’t mind.”

Huedhaut sighed softly. “Does anyone actually want a drink or are we actually for once going to have a calmer celebration?”

“Please don’t hesitate on my account,” ____  hastily added.

“Meh, it’s whatever,” Aigonorus murmured. “If Leo’s not drinking there’s not much point in me bothering.”

“I think it’s sweet of Leon to do this for the little lady. It’s only one day after all. ‘Sides, It’d kinda be nice to just catch up dontcha think?”

____  smiled softly at Tauxolouve,  then sighed at the glance Huedhaut and Dui were sharing. “Look, I really don’t mind,” she murmured to them both.

Huedhaut, however, shook his head and made his bottle disappear. He looked over to her and Leon with a glint in his eyes. “I never thought I’d see the day that His Highness refused a drink.”

Leon glowered at him. “Perhaps I should send you back up to the heavens instead of Karno.”

Before Huedhaut could respond to that or ____ could think of something to interject, the door to the living room swung open and Teorus came running in with an annoyed look on his face. He was covered in snow.

“Pretending to be a real snowman, Teo?” Huedhaut teased him.

“That's not funny, Hue,” Teorus grumbled with a pout. “Ikky made my snowman explode.”

“Teo you didn't have to tell the others that!” Ichthys exclaimed, running in after the other.

As the atmosphere in the living room appeared to get more fraught and ____  could feel Leon reaching the end of his patience at her side, she forced a soft smile. “I've missed this,” she murmured. “Feels like forever I saw all of you away from the heavens like this.”

The others settled down at that comment, and Leon turned back to his wife with a soft smile. “That's as may be, but I will have some time alone with you too. Come with me a moment.”

Smiling somewhat uneasily at the others, ____ followed Leon as the other stormed off, knowing that she best not keep him waiting.

She eventually caught him up out on the balcony upstairs. “Leon, you know the others were just -”

“Of course,” Leon interrupted her, “but I wanted to do this. Don't tell me you've forgotten what I've done several times before?” He asked, raising his hand and snapping his fingers.

The sky behind him lit up with fireworks, though this time it was made up of festive imagery such as Christmas trees and baubles. “Merry Christmas ____ .”

“Merry Christmas, Leon!”

Story 2: Zyglavis

The Minister of Punishments smiled tenderly at ____ as she arrived. He stepped nearer his wife and cupped her face with a gloved hand. “You are looking more beautiful than ever.”

“Zyglavis…” ____  murmured back, her voice cracking a little. “I am glad you are already here,” she somewhat hesitantly added.

The other stiffened a little at that and glanced awkwardly to the side. “Ah. Yes, this week has been rather tiresome, my apologies if I have been less available than last month.”

“You know I understand,” ____ responded softly, wrapping her arms around him. 

About to pull him into a kiss, they were interrupted by a crashing noise in the living room. She sighed softly as her husband’s eyes hardened somewhat in irritation. “Ichthys by any chance?”

“I would be very surprised if we headed to the living room and it was anyone else, though I would not put it past that wretched lion to cause a disturbance. It is not too late for us to slip away on our own somewhere.”

“The others went to all this effort for us,” ____ responded softly. “Besides, I’d like to see everyone.”

“I am aware of that,” Zyglavis murmured, his tone now more gentle once more. His gaze then moved to the bag she was carrying. “I thought I said it was not necessary for you to bring anything with you today?”

“I wanted to add something to the party,” ____ protested. “It’s just a few cookies.”

“You spoil them,”  Zyglavis muttered. “They are being loud enough already as it is without them clamouring over your homemade bakes…”

“Zyglavis, relax, it’s Christmas,” ____ murmured softly, taking his hand in her own. 

“That is as may be, but would a little quiet be too much to ask?”

____ stifled a laugh. “With everyone here? Even without Ichthys I fear that would be an impossible mission.”

Zyglavis relaxed into a wry smile. “True. And I can hardly be entirely mad at them when without them, this…”

As he trailed off, ____ squeezed his hand tightly. “Don’t dwell on the past. You’re here. Not only that but we’re married.”

“Yes, we are,” Zyglavis murmured back softly. “Well then, I suppose we best face the chaos.”

____ nodded and headed into the living room with the other.

Once they were the other side of the doorway, ____’s eyes widened with surprise. The floor was covered with snow, and there were snow versions of the gods around the large Christmas tree in the corner of the room.

“What is the meaning of this?” Zyglavis asked with a harsh tone.

“I thought I’d make the place look more festive!” Ichthys responded with a laugh.

As Zyglavis turned his attention to the prankster, ____ squeezed his arm gently. “Let him be happy like this. Just for tonight. It really does look pretty.”

Zyglavis sighed heavily. “You know if you give him an inch he’ll take a mile…” He muttered quietly to her.

“But it is Christmas,” ____ protested. “And you’re usually too harsh on him. Let it stay like this. For me. Please.”

“... Very well,” Zyglavis muttered resignedly. 

Joining the others on the sofas in the middle of the living room, ____ started passing her cookies around whilst Huedhaut poured everyone a glass of wine.

“Have ya thought about startin’ a family yet, Zig?” Tauxolouve asked him softly whilst ____ was busy talking to the others.

Zyglavis hesitated, then shook his head. “I think I have enough family to keep an eye on already as it is. Besides…” He trailed off, looking awkwardly to the side to avert his gaze from Tauxolouve.

The God of Sagittarius, however, laughed lightly. “It’s okay. I’m sure worries over demigods would never leave you of all people.”

The Minister of Punishments looked back to him with a soft sigh. “That is no excuse for me even thinking about that, especially in your presence. You have my apologies.”

“There’s really no need,” Tauxolouve responded softly. “Though you will talk to her about this, right?”

“... When the time is right,” Zyglavis agreed. “Is everything set up for the fireworks display later?” He added quietly.

“Yup,”  Tauxolouve reassured him. “Partheno and I made sure none of the others interfered with that.”

Zyglavis nodded in understanding and turned back away from the other.

Soon after that, ____ rejoined his side, handing him a glass of wine as well as a cookie.

About to refuse the cookie, Zyglavis blushed a little as he realised this one was different from all the others. It was heart shaped with ‘I love you’ written on it in chocolate ganache. “What am I to do with you?” he mumbled under his breath as he took it from her with a smile of thanks. He glanced at it, mulling something over.

“Zyglavis? Are you alright? Do you not like it?”

“... It is not that,” Zyglavis muttered, heat rising to his cheeks. “It is just…”

____ rested a hand on his arm. “Talk to me.”

“It seems a shame to eat this after all the care and attention you put into it.”

“Oh Zyglavis,” ____ murmured, her voice full of love. “I can always make another one if you want more.”

Zyglavis however, shook his head. Snapping his fingers the cookie suddenly got coated in a weird plastic like material and a ribbon was added to it through a hole at the top. Taking his tie off, he put it on, before replacing his tie over the top. “This way you’ll always be with me,” he muttered, his voice barely audible.

____ smiled softly, unshed happy tears glinting in her eyes. She glanced around to make sure no one was looking at them right now, then placed a brief kiss to his lips. “Merry Christmas, Zyglavis.”

“Merry Christmas, ____.”

Story 3: Karno

Karno pulled ____ into a hug the second she stepped through the door, placing a quick kiss to her lips before stepping back.

____ flushed red, taken by surprise at him greeting her so suddenly. “What was that in aid of?”

“Can’t I show my wife how much I missed her?” Karno retorted with a familiar smile.

Trying to calm down how flustered she felt, ____ forced a smile of her own back at him. It didn’t matter how often he referred to her as his wife, it still gave her butterflies in her stomach. “You… You can…” she stammered out, taking a few deep breaths, “But I’ve only been gone since this morning.”

“That is still too long,” Karno teased her, but his smile faded a little. “Sorry, perhaps I should be more restrained. How was work today?”

“Work was fine,” ____ reassured quickly, feeling bad for making him worried. “So is everyone here?”

“Indeed they are, as promised,” Karno responded brightly. “So if you were expecting any peace and quiet this evening, I’m afraid that’s totally off the cards!”

____ laughed lightly. “If I wanted peace and quiet I would have asked you to meet me at my apartment. Did you set the fireworks I got up alright?”

“I believe so,” Karno muttered. “Hue helped.”

“Good,” ____ mumbled back. “Shall we join the others then?”

Karno nodded. “Yes, let’s do that,” he agreed.

Heading into the living room, ____ and Karno sat down on one of the sofas. As they did so, ____’s eyes were drawn to a large plate of cookies on the table. “... Who summoned those?”

“No one,” Karno murmured softly. “I baked them.”

____ smiled and reached for one, but then hesitated, looking somewhat suspiciously at her husband. “Karno, what -”

“Those ones are for you,” he reassured. “I made a different batch for myself.”

“A spicy batch?” ____ guessed with a slight laugh.

“Of course,” Karno responded with a laugh of his own.

As the party started to get underway, Karno shifted nearer to her on the sofa and relaxed, feeling the most content he ever had done with his life.

“Karno? You seem rather quiet…” ____ spoke up after a while with concern.

“Sorry,” Karno murmured, “I was just thinking…”

“Yes?” She prompted softly.

“I was thinking how nice it was to have a family Christmas for once.”

____ wrapped an arm around him and lent her head on his shoulder as she watched the others drinking, eating, and talking. “Yes, it is, isn’t it?” she murmured softly. “Merry Christmas, Karno.”

“Merry Christmas, ____.”

Story 4: Scorpio

Her husband greeted her in the hallway with a slight scowl. “I still don’t understand why you wanted to enter here from the front door. You don’t live on Earth anymore.”

“I just wanted to be reminded of how you used to greet me here…” ____ admitted awkwardly.

“Moron,” Scorpio grumbled, though he relaxed into a smile. “I’m kinda surprised you agreed to this shit the others came up with.”

“It’s nice to get away from the heavens for once…”

Scorpio grimaced. “But you are happy up there?”

“You know I am,” ____ answered without hesitation, grabbing his hand. “You’d soon know if I wasn’t.”

Feeling her inner thoughts seep easily through into his mind now she was holding his hand, Scorpio smiled lovingly at her. “Yeah. I would. Dammit woman what have you done to me?”

“Made you happy as well I hope!”

Scorpio looked away from her, heat rising to his face. “... ‘Course you have,” he muttered in a barely audible whisper. 

After that, they headed into the living room. ____ smiled at the decorations, including some peeled apples which seemed to have been stuck on top of each other to try and resemble snowmen. She was pretty sure she knew who was responsible for those. On the table was lots of food, including cookies. “So you all summoned all this despite no one here needing to eat?”

Scorpio smirked at her. “Oh I dunno, considering how much you ate when you were human I wouldn’t put it past you to be the first goddess to need food, just like how that frickin’ goat needs sleep.”

____ nudged him slightly, then tensed as she saw Huedhaut preparing some drinks. She quickly let go of Scorpio and moved away from him slightly.

“____ ?” Scorpio asked with a frown. “Look I was only joking. Don’t get in a huff.”

“It’s… it’s not that…” ____ murmured weakly. She glanced over to Huedhaut. “Don’t pour me one of those, Hue, thank you.”

As Huedhaut obeyed that without question, Scorpio closed the gap between them, a worried expression now on his face. “That sparkly bastard hasn’t done anything to you has he? You aren’t unwell or something are you?”

“No, it’s not like that. I’m fine. It’s…” ____ ran a hand nervously through her hair. “Scorpio, what do you think about starting a family?”

“What kind of damn question is that in the middle of a party? Are you trying to piss me off for some reason?”

____ hesitated, then grabbed his hand once more, this time letting this one specific thought flow into his mind.

Scorpio’s eyes widened. “You’re pregnant?”

She nodded, glancing down at her feet. “Uh huh. At least… I think so… Scorpio, I -”

“So that’s why you’ve been more reluctant to hold my hand the past few days. Dammit you should have said something sooner.”

“I wasn’t sure how to approach the subject,” ____ admitted softly. “After all, your own experiences…”

“That’s why we gotta make sure our child is happy, right?” Scorpio retorted, now smiling softly. 

Zyglavis moved over to them at this point, a worried frown on his face. “Forgive me but I could not help but overhear. ____ if you are pregnant we should probably not spend too much time away from the heavens. The mansion may have a divine ward on it but it is still partially subject to the impurities in the Earth’s atmosphere.”

“Zig’s got a point,” Scorpio admitted, “but I’m guessing you don’t want to leave just yet.”

____ shook her head. “As long as it’s okay, I’d like to stay a little longer. This isn’t quite the same as visiting Earth would have been, but…”

“Yeah. I get it,” Scorpio muttered. “But if you start to feel unwell I damn well want you tell whoever in the department is closest to you at the time. Hell for this I’d actually rather you even mention how you’re feeling to Mr Smart Guy.”

“I’m fine, Scorpio,” ____ reassured with a soft smile. 

At that point there was the sound of more footsteps as another of the Zodiac Gods approached them. “I guess your wish was one granted at the revelry fest after all,” Leon commented with an amused look on his face, addressing not ____ but Scorpio.

“Shut up lion!” Scorpio growled, trying not to get flustered.

Zyglavis looked round at Leon with annoyance. “Was that really necessary?” he hissed, pulling the other away from the couple.

What was said between the two Ministers after that went unheard by both Scorpio and ____ as they looked silently at each other. Scorpio not sure whether to confirm what Leon had just been saying, and ____ not sure whether she should even ask.

In the end, ____ broke first. “Scorpio… was what Leon just implied true? Did you wish that we would start a family?”

Scorpio glanced away from her, clenching his hands tightly at his side. “... Maybe,” he muttered.

____ smiled brightly and leapt over to him, hugging him tightly.

“Careful!” Scorpio admonished her. “Just because you’re a goddess you shouldn’t take risks like that.”

“S-sorry,” ____ murmured, heat rising to her cheeks. I’m just so happy. We were both wishing for a family.

Hearing her thoughts, Scorpio couldn’t help but smile. “Then I guess we both got what we wanted for Christmas.”

“Yes, we did, didn't we?” ____ agreed softly, smiling as the other pulled her into a brief kiss.

Story 5: Huedhaut

Huedhaut greeted his wife with a slight inclination of his head, his expression unreadable.

____ regarded him with concern. “Hue, are you alright?”

“I am afraid our home has been infiltrated by eleven troublemakers.”

“...” Frowning briefly, ____ then nudged him gently as she realised he was messing with her. “Hue! Is that any way to talk about our friends?”

“I did not say anything untrue, did I?” Huedhaut retorted, his eyes glinting in the light as he pulled her tightly to him.

She wrapped her arms around him in return. “You’re being very affectionate tonight.”

“There must be something in the air,” Huedhaut murmured with a soft smile. “Perhaps it was all the snow Ichthys summoned earlier. However, if you object to me holding you like this, then -”

“No of course not! Don’t let go!” ____ exclaimed, holding him even tighter.

Huedhaut broke into a wide smile, closing his eyes, his expression full of laughter.

____ groaned to herself, realising he was toying with her again. “I can never win with you,” she grumbled.

Reopening his eyes, Huedhaut moved one of his arms from around her and instead tilted her head gently upwards so that they were gazing into each other’s eyes. “I think I could do with some strength before we spend the entire evening with everyone else.”

____ smiled lovingly at him. “Alright, but can I ask something of you in return?”

“That rather depends on what it is,” Huedhaut responded, looking at her curiously.

“... Do not use your power tonight.”

Huedhaut forced an uneasy chuckle. “I suppose that is fair enough, though do not blame me if by doing that we do not foresee what everyone else is up to.”

“I want us both to be surprised. No matter what the future holds right now,” ____ retorted, before letting the other pull her into a loving kiss.

They then headed into the living room together, the other’s already talking and enjoying the food and wine that had been summoned.

Huedhaut sighed heavily. “I suppose I should not be surprised that they decided not to have the courtesy to wait for us.”

“Well if you two had been more punctual, perhaps I would have felt able to say something.”

____ tensed as Zyglavis approached them, unconsciously clinging tightly to Huedhaut.

Huedhaut pulled her closer to him, regarding the Minister of Punishments with rather icy eyes. “I hope you are not implying that we have done something you disagree with again, Zyglavis,” he commented, his tone a little wary.

“... The fountain of love blessed your marriage, for better or for worse,” Zyglavis muttered. “It is not my place to argue with the wishes of the heavens. Excuse me, I shall leave you to enjoy the party. I need to find out where that problem child snuck off to.”

As he headed off, ____ let out a shaky breath that she didn’t realise she had been holding. Things seemed better with Zyglavis these days but she still didn’t feel that easy around him.

“Are you alright?” Huedhaut asked softly. “If he ever threatens you or even upsets you I will be by your side in an instant.”

“I… I know,” ____ murmured, forcing a smile. “I’m alright. Though did he seem a little terser today than usual?”

Huedhaut sighed. “I’m sorry. I knew how much you wanted everyone to be here because that’s just the kind person you are, but Zyglavis was not exactly enamoured with the idea of coming back down to Earth, even if it was just to the mansion. I think he would rather leave that chapter behind him.”

____ grimaced. “It would be easier if I was a goddess, wouldn’t it?”

“... ____, it is you I love, not -”

“I’m not talking about Clotho, I’m talking about myself,” ____ clarified quickly. 

The God of Aquarius looked at his wife with wide and uncertain eyes. “____. Are you saying that if… if I can find a way to raise you to godhood without your old memories interfering you would consider it?”

“I would,” ____ responded softly. “As long as that was what you wanted as well…” she added with slight uncertainty.

Huedhaut took a deep breath and looked at her with a loving smile and an adoring gaze. “Just being reunited with you again was more than I could ever have wished for…”

“But if we could be together forever?”

“... That would be wonderful. However, you were the one who insisted we should focus on the present tonight. Let us discuss this after New Year.”

“... New Year? You sound like you have plans.”

Huedhaut smirked at her. “I was rather hoping a certain lady would accompany me to view some fireworks. If we’re spending today with everyone else, the least I can do is spend New Year’s eve on my own with the most wonderful person in the world.”

“This person… Do I know her?” ____ asked, playing along.

“Better than anyone,” Huedhaut responded softly, before pulling her into another loving kiss.

Story 6: Ichthys

The second ____ opened the door to the mansion, Ichthys leapt at her and pulled her into a tight embrace with a happy grin. “____! It’s been too long!”

“Ichthys, it’s been five minutes,” ____ retorted with a laugh.

“I thought you wanted this to remind you of the old days?” Ichthys responded, sticking out his tongue. “It was not that long ago where seeing each other as much as we wanted was not possible.”

____ smiled lovingly at him. “And every moment we had back then was precious,” she murmured, her voice a little sad. “I could have lost you…”

“But you didn’t! I’m better than ever!” Ichthys responded brightly. However, his grin faded into a frown for once as his wife started trembling in his arms. Worriedly he squeezed her tightly. “____ ? What’s the matter? Did I say something wrong?”

“N-no... sorry… it’s not that. I guess… being back here has brought everything flooding back.”

Ichthys swallowed and just held her in silence for once, trying to let her know that he was willing to listen if she needed to say anything further.

“... I’m glad you’re still here,” was what she eventually broke the silence with ten minutes later.

“I’m glad too,” Ichthys reassured. “And you are happy in the heavens, right?”

“Yes of course. I’m happy as long as I’m with you. That’s all that matters.” 

As she took a deep breath and looked back up at him with a somewhat watery smile, Ichthys leant his forehead against hers and put a hand to his wife’s face with a soft smile adorning his features. “I love you, ____.”

“I love you too, Ichthys,” ____ responded.

About to suggest that they go into the living room, ____’s eyes widened as she heard Scorpio shout Ichthys name with anger, and the familiar footsteps of Zyglavis could also be heard approaching them from out in the grounds. She looked suspiciously at her husband. “What have you been up to?”

“Nothing much,” Ichthys responded with a grin and a glint in his eyes.

“Ichthys!”

“Weeelll…. I might have made a maze out of snowmen near the gazebo, and I guess as Scorpio just yelled he’s discovered my stash of not allowed on Earth fireworks for later.”

____ sighed heavily and grabbed Ichthys’ hand. “Then before we go into the living room, let’s let your bosses calm down. We can share the cookies I baked in your room.”

Ichthys grinned.

Story 7: Teorus

Teorus greeted her at the doorway with a smile and held out his hand. “I’m glad you’re on time, goldie. If your planetarium shift had over-run today, I might have had to have gone there, stopped time, and made you disappear.”

“Teo, that would have raised all sorts of questions!”

“But they shouldn’t eat into my time with you,” Teorus whined with a grumble. “You know, I’m a god, I can summon you anything you want. There isn’t any need to keep working.”

“I like my work, Teo,” ____ responded firmly.

The other relaxed into a somewhat forced smile. “I know,” he muttered. “And I want you to be happy. I just miss you when we aren’t together.”

“So do I,” ____ admitted softly. “Now then, should we join the others?”

Teorus nodded, though his eyes showed reluctance.

“Teo?”

“We are still spending tomorrow together as just us two right?”

“Yes of course!”

He finally relaxed into a genuine smile. “Then I guess it’s alright for it to be everyone tonight. But whilst we have a moment alone, do you have any wishes right now, ____?”

“Just that we both have a Merry Christmas.”

Teorus smirked at that. “Well, I’m sure that can be arranged,” he responded, before pulling her into a passionate kiss.

____ returned it, wrapping her arms happily around him.

In the distance, there was the sound of the living room door softly closing right more, the others knowing better than to interrupt. They knew Teorus and ____ would join them at the party in their own time.

Story 8: Dui

Dui smiled softly to greet ____ as she entered the mansion. He handed her a cookie. “Here! Have a cookie!”

Taking it with murmured thanks, ____ smiled softly as she noticed that the cookies in question had cherries in them. “You really do like cherries don’t you,” she murmured softly to her husband.

“I thought these would be nice…”

“I’m sure they are,” ____ quickly reassured him. “I meant that that’s something I love about you, Dui,” she added gently, wrapping her arms around him.

Dui returned the embrace with a happy smile adorning his features. “You know… before I met you I was literally torn in two… and now… now I know the whole truth about what happened, have accepted Shadow as a part of me, and have a wonderful caring wife on top of all that. Even the department of Wishes couldn’t have granted a more wonderful wish than this for me.”

“... Dui…” ____ choked, her eyes filling up with happy tears.

“Dummy, that’s nothing to cry about,” Dui snapped, his tone changing. He grinned at her as he wiped a tear away from her left eye. “Now come on, I want to see what the others have planned for this party.”

____ smiled. “Yes, let's. Um… which one are…”

“This one,” Dui answered, now smiling more gently once more. “He’ll see and hear everything after all. It’s a little calmer as us two when around the others.”

“But they do all understand, right?”

“Of course they do,” Dui reassured. “We best go join them before they start to worry though.”

As they headed towards the living room door, ____ glanced at her husband. “You know, when I first arrived here, it was snowing…”

Dui blushed a little, averting his gaze. “I was rather hoping we might at least find time to go ice skating but as I doubted we’d be able to leave the mansion today I changed the weather in the grounds.”

“Of course we can go ice skating! I wouldn’t miss our Christmas tradition for the world.”

Relaxing at that, Dui smiled and led her into the living room where everyone else was waiting.

Story 9: Tauxolouve

Tauxolouve tilted his head and winked at ____ as she entered the mansion. “And what is a gorgeous little lady like you doing all alone on Christmas Eve? Why not spend the evening with me?”

____ smiled lovingly at him as she took his offered hand. “Tauxolouve… we arranged to meet here…”

“Yup I know, but you deserve the best greeting I could think of.”

Moving nearer to him, ____ caught sight of the arrow brooch on his lapel and swallowed hard. She let go of his hand and instead hugged him tightly, pulling him into a sudden kiss.

Momentarily startled, Tauxolouve quickly regained his composure and wrapped his own arms around her, deepening the kiss into one so intense that when they eventually pulled away for air they were both rather breathless.

“Well I must say that was rather a treat, ____,” Tauxolouve commented, heat rising to his cheeks for once.

____ smiled uneasily.

Noticing this, Tauxolouve’s shocked expression faded into a frown. He stepped near to her once more, putting a hand to her face. “Has something happened?”

“No… it’s just… we’ve not all been at the mansion at once since the rift changed my future… I…”

Tauxolouve bent down and kissed her once more, though this time it was brief and tender. “I know ya feel like we’re still bein’ chased by these brooches. I wish there was somethin’ I could do…”

____, however, shook her head. “It was my own choice to take the other half. We’ve managed so far haven’t we?”

“Yup,” Tauxolouve responded, smiling softly, though he couldn’t entirely hide the worry from his eyes. “And they’re our ticket to avoiding that changed future…”

“So we can start a family,” ____ completed. “That is, if you still want to.”

Tauxolouve smiled more genuinely at her. “I would love nothing more. For now, I think we best join the party.” He eyed the bag she had bought with her and chuckled lightly. “And I see despite our reassurances you didn’t need to bring anythin’ you couldn’t resist but do so anyway.”

“It’s just a few cookies,” ____ protested.

“I’d expect nothing less from you, my little lady, my darling ____, my wonderful wife.”

Now that she was the one struggling to cool her face down instead of him, Tauxolouve guided his wife into the living room with a bright smile.

Story 10: Partheno

Partheno regarded ____ with concern as she headed into the mansion from the front door. “You will tell me if this becomes too much for you won’t you? I may have stopped the king from destroying our child, but…”

“Partheno, I’m fine,” ____ reassured softly, smiling brightly. “If anything it’s nice to get away from the heavens for a bit.”

The other averted his gaze at that comment, frowning to himself. “... Yes, it is rather,” he agreed.

____ stepped nearer him and hesitantly wrapped her arms around him. “Pay no attention if others are still talking about your past. You have me and the other Zodiac Gods.”

“...” Partheno was silent for a few minutes, then turned to his wife with a rather sultry smile. “Yes I do have you, in fact, I -”

“PARTHENO!” Zyglavis interrupted, glowering at him from the doorway of the living room. “I do not think this is the time or the place for your odd comments. Instead of standing in the hallway do you not think you should invite your wife in properly?”

Partheno relaxed into a more gentle smile. “Forgive me, ____. Would you do me the honour of accompanying me to this party before mother over there blows a gasket?”

“What did you just call me?” Zyglavis asked with a scowl.

____ tried her hardest to not burst out laughing and failed.

But in a way that was what the rest of both departments were to them: family. Her family no longer knew she had ever existed, and Partheno no longer had one. She was relieved that they had support from the others in the heavens, even if there may still be a few trials to overcome before Partheno was 100% accepted by everyone.

He was already accepted by the people that mattered most, though ____ suspected her husband would be content with just her knowing the real him.

Story 11: Aigonorus

Aigonorus looked rather wearily at his wife as she stepped through the door. “Welcome to the party,” he muttered.

____ sighed softly. “You could sound a little more enthusiastic. Aren’t you pleased to see me?”

Her husband’s eyes widened at that. “Of course I am!” He hastily responded. “I just... don’t get why you wanted to pretend we hadn’t seen each other today. I picked you up from the planetarium as usual didn’t I?”

“Yes, but…” ____ trailed off, shaking her head. “It doesn’t matter. I take it everyone is here?”

Aigonorus relaxed into a soft smile at that. “Yeah. No one was going to miss this. I hope they don’t let this party go on too late…”

“Feeling tired?” ____ asked him softly.

“I was until I saw you,” Aigonorus murmured back. 

____ laughed. “Now who is saying odd things even though we were barely apart before this.”

“... It felt like an eternity though,” the other muttered. “Those few hours I had to go back to the heavens for after walking you home felt like they’d never end.”

“Then do you want to check that I’m really here?” ____ asked with a loving smile as she wrapped her arms around him.

Aigonorus returned the embrace happily. “You’re as soft as always,” he muttered to her, before placing his lips briefly to her own.

“Aigo?” ____ asked as he pulled away.

“A deeper one will have to wait until later,” Aigonorus muttered. “Otherwise I might decide I don’t want to deal with the others and all the noise tonight and go hide with you in our apartment instead. So I’d rather not risk it. The others have gone to the trouble of doing this so we better at least attend for a while.”

____ smiled softly at him. “Come on then, let us join the party.”

“Uh huh,” Aigonorus responded in agreement. “Did you bring marshmallows?”

“Of course I did,” ____ responded gently. “Cookies too. Those ones with the really soft centres you liked.”

Aigonorus smiled brightly. “I really do love you, ____.”

“I love you too, Aigo. Merry Christmas.”

“Yeah. Merry Christmas.”

Story 12: Krioff

Krioff smiled a little to himself as his wife entered the mansion. “Evening. You made it here alright then.”

____ smiled softly back at him. “Did you think I wouldn't?”

Krioff glanced to the side. “Not really. But isn't showing concern for you wife's wellbeing what you're supposed to do?”

“Thank you, Krioff,” ____ answered, her voice full of love, “but as you can see I'm just fine.”

Krioff looked her up and down and smiled properly. “Yeah. In fact I'd say you're more than fine.”

“Krioff!” ____ snapped, heat rushing to her face.

Her husband looked at her with confusion. “Did I say something wrong?”

“N-no, not at all,” ____ stammered out, taking a deep breath as she tried to calm down. “Your compliment just took me by surprise, that's all.”

“... All I said was the truth…” Krioff muttered, his tone completely sincere.

____ smiled lovingly at him. “I know you meant every word. Thank you.”

They lapsed into silence after that, though Krioff made no move to lead her to the living room.

In the end it was ____ who broke the silence. “Krioff, is something wrong?”

“No. But… are you sure about this?”

“Spending time with the others? Well it has been a while. So as long as you don't mind…”

“Makes no difference to me. As long as we're together,” Krioff responded, offering her his hand.

About to take it, ____ hesitated as she suddenly remembered something. She quickly opened the bag she had bought with her.

“____ ?” Krioff asked, his tone a little concerned.

“I bought some cookies and cream ice cream with me. If I don't give it to you now it'll melt!”

Krioff thought for a moment. “Is it the only thing in that bag?”

“... Yes, why?”

The other stepped nearer her. Resting his gloved hand on her one not holding the bag, his natural heat seeping through it, he used his other hand on the bag and it froze over before her eyes.

“There. It won't melt now right?”

“I guess not. At least not as quickly,”  ____ murmured. “But why freeze it in the first place? You could have had at least some of it now.”

“I'd rather enjoy it with you later at our own pace,” Krioff murmured in way of reply.

“Alright,” ____ relented. “Then let’s get going.”

“Wait,” Krioff muttered as she went to lead him towards the living room. “That ice cream. It's a gift, right?”

“In a way, I guess so,” ____ responded softly.

Krioff thought for a moment, then activated his ice powers once more. This time it summoned ice crystals which formed into a glistening model of a snowman - or should that technically be an iceman?

____ accepted the ornament happily, carefully placing it in her bag made of ice so she didn't drop it. “Thank you! Merry Christmas, Krioff.”

“Yeah. Merry Christmas, ____ .”

Taking his glove off, Krioff joined hands properly with his wife this time, before leading her into the living room to join the others.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You and Ichthys had been dating for nearly a year however you couldn't always be with him and he couldn't always be with you since he was a god after all. You two had a door connected though so whenever he would get a moment he would stop in and see you which made you so happy. It may be 5 minutes with him or a hour either way he was making so many efforts to make sure not only did you not forget him but that you were on his mind all the time, you were very much loved. One night he came knocking at your door, you opened it as he smothered you in kisses. He missed you so much and it had been at least a week since you had seen him, you had been missing him just as much. You followed through with his kiss that had turned so passionate you never wanted to let go. After a bit he eventually broke from your lips.

"I'm off all this evening, lets go a to a movie or go to a play tonight...anything!" He sounded so energetic and playful when he said it. You couldn't help but see him as a sweet little puppy bouncing around your apartment trying to make plans without knowing where to start. You take out your smartphone and scan the movie and plays listings in your town. You find a few good choices now to find him and let him know. You walk through the apartment and find him on the balcony, you walk up beside him but he must have been lost in thought since you startled him. He turned around looking pleased to see you before wrapping his arms around you and picking you up. Now that he was acting more like himself you went on to tell him about what you had found. "So there is a movie theater not far from here its playing the movie at 8pm called Lov......" He shut your mouth as he pressed his lips to yours. At first you wanted him to stop so you could finish what you were saying, but you never could push him away for long those long kisses captivated you.

"We are going to watch a movie here alone snuggled up that sounds more fun, to be able to hold my girl." As you heard his words you smiled because you could agree, neither of you were the most extroverted anyways so this would work better and since you two hadn't seen each other lately being wrapped up with covers and a movie on the couch sounded perfect. After you both made this decision you went to the store to get snacks and something for supper on the way home. His job was to find a movie to watch and make their movie room comfy and dark. You weren't really gone too long and you had a few bags of snacks not sure if he was in a sweet or salty mood so you got both. You stopped by and got Chinese food for supper, which was two doors down from your apartment. Soon as you got back you fumbled holding things and putting the key in the lock, but he heard you and ran to the door. As the door opened your eyes met and you felt like you were in a dream.

Literally the whole apartment radiated a starfield. You had shooting stars shooting across your apartment, trickling stars that fall down like snow, and rose petals all over the floors in every room. He went all out to make this not only a sweet and comfy evening but he made it romantic which caught you off guard. It had been so long since he made you feel so special, with all his godly duties makes it harder than ever. You refuse to give up on him though he has your heart and no mortal will come close to making you feel the way he does inside. He takes the stuff out of your arms and sits it down then takes your hand and walks you through the apartment. In every room it feels like they have their own story to tell with the look of the beauty in the skies.

It may not be real to most but you know that with his powers he could give you everything or anything your heart desires. He even tried to in the beginning then he realized moments like this with him was way more of a treasure. The memories you build with him you would give everything up in the world for just one of them. You wrapped your arms around his neck as a shooting star trails across the ceiling you softly kiss his lips so tender and with passion. He wraps his arms around you pulling you into him kissing all your needs and wants away. You felt like you were just falling in love with him again, it never fails he does moments like this that make you love him even more. As you break from the beautiful kiss he snaps his finger and slow music starts to play starting with your favorite song. "May I have this dance?" You giggle as he says that when your already in his arms but you smile and let him lead.

As he held you so close he softly sang the song in your ear, although he isn't the best singer right in this moment he could sing off tune and you wouldn't care because to your heart he sings at just the right melody. You leaned your head into him eyes closed hanging on every word he sings as you sway in his arms as he leads you across the floor. It was the most sweetest moment yet one that is so sincere and you hold close to your heart. You softly coo and smile as you get lost in this moment. You both dance for a little bit before he walks you to the living room which he has already set up like a movie theater under the stars. He goes and gets the supper together and some plates and comes back with the food and snacks in hand. Yes he could have snapped his fingers for all this but he wanted to also make it feel like a normal date minus the stars he wanted to wow you with.

He sat down beside you with a food tray he set it all up for you with supper and snacks just for you. He knows how you like m & m's and gummy bears however you have certain flavors you don't like and he takes the extra time to take out all the ones you dont like by shoving them in his own mouth. He is the best boyfriend you could ask for. After you two eat and are stuffed while watching the movie he picked out which surprisingly enough was a romantic movie. In this moment to cherish as he wraps his arm around you pulling you into his arms, he kisses your forehead. He makes you feel like your the only woman in the world that could make a god fall in love with them. You were so comfy with movie night with him, it may have been a simple date even with a god but he has learned better than to be too outlandish you want this instead. You felt so comfy in his arms that you were thankful you had seen the movie before because you ended up falling asleep in his arms.

He let you just lay in his arms as he watched the movie he made a note where you had fell asleep in so you could see it later. He softly ran his fingers through your hair as he rubbed your head. He knew with work you were so tired and busy all the time but he has learned since being with you these moments meant more to him now. He loves making you smile and would give up everything just to make you happy. He squeezes you a little tighter as he leans down kissing your forehead and whispers softly "I love you more than you will ever know, you are my everything." You softly hear his words even though your sleeping your in and out a bit enough to hear his words as you feel a smile now showing across your face. Your heart heard every word even if you didn't hear it all and thats what matters.

This movie date night was one of your favorite times together. He ends up picking you up and moving you to the bed after a bit as he pulls the covers up on you and tucks you in. As he goes to leave you reach out grabbing on the end of his shirt as he had turned to walk out. Although he wasn't leaving he was just going to go clean up the moment you tugged on his shirt, his attention was all yours. As you reached out for him he climbed in bed beside you. He pulled you close letting you get comfy back in his arms, he knew there was no need in fighting it but he was staying with you all night and planned to watch over you as he is there. As you lay your head on his chest, half asleep as he hears your words before your back into a deep sleep. "I love you just as much...." He smiled knowing apart of you had heard his declaration of his love earlier at that moment. He laid his head against you as he closed his eyes for such a wonderful end to a movie date.

SCM is my home. Those gods are my family and so is the fandom.

Quitting SCM is like quitting to breathe.

I'm your problem, you can't get rid of me lmaoooo

(and I've also been distracted by irl stuff. Good stuff mostly, but yeah)

BUT I'M DEFINITELY 100% NOT LEAVING THE FANDOM!!

I have a Tauxolouve fic I want to write in particular, because last week I went to a coffee shop and I got inspired from the heart shape on the coffee's foam😩✨❣️

HUEDHAUT ♒ - In The Moonlight 🌙

A/N: Thank you for requesting anon! 💙 I am sorry for taking a 1000 years to write this, and i am not sure if this is good enough considering how short it is. I sincerely hope you enjoy reading this. ♥️

The room was filled with the pale glow of the moonlight, while a girl with (h/c) hair sat by the window, holding a book in her hands and her gaze fixed on its pages.

A soft breeze blew, filling the room with the delicious aroma of baked goods that wafted from the bakery across the street.

She stood up and glanced out the window, observing the leaves producing a gentle and harmonious sound as they rustled in the wind.

As she gazed at the brilliantly shining moon on the cool midsummer night, a feeling of immense contentment filled her heart.

Huedhaut entered the room and the door closed behind him with a soft clang.

He stood next to her, but unlike her, his attention was fixed on the beauty next to him. He carefully observed every feature of her beauty: her compassionate and optimistic eyes, her coral lips, that smiled as she looked at him, her lovely hands that held the book.

"A shooting star", she said, pointing to the sky. She slid her eyes shut. Huedhaut stood next to her, simply admiring the beauty of the night sky and the falling star.

As she opened her eyes, he inquired, "What did you wish for, my dear?"

"I wished, we could spend more nights like this, together," she said, looking up at him. He smiled at her and placed a delicate kiss on her forehead.

A/N: Thank you for reading! 😊

Leon becoming the king rambles

I haven't finished the entirety of everyone's stories (I just did the mainstory for all 12) but I've been thinking about Leon's final story where he ascends to the king status.

more info dumping theories below. Also I could be wrong like again I have not finished anyone's story completely pls correct me if im wrong

From what I've seen he becomes king of the heavens and is given a new set of stars (the king star).

It makes me wonder who's taking over as minister of wishes/ruler of leo. He did give MC the Leo constellation for her to become a god iirc. It's funny bcuz its almost like his name correlates to a lion and itd probably get confusing from there. Also MC has aquarius in one of her eyes so I wonder if it just went back to hue after this.

Would Vega or Karno become minister? Would it be MC? Would the departments even be a thing when he's king or would he fundamentally just change everything.

If leon becomes the new king/becomes omnipotent, wouldn't he just be forced to live like the king, always hidden away and alone because he literally sees and knows all. Only left a victim of watching things happen until ppl come up to you for more. Letting curiosity roam free as you have infinite power to do anything. A move of his hand and things are gone. Is he even himself at this point or does the curse of infinite knowledge and power catch up.

This also dives into Leon as a character. He's portrayed as lazy and uninterested (on mondays or smthn) at first. He's also shown as a hard worker and genuinely tries to be just and fair. Whenever a god is in trouble he always makes a stand towards Zyg and the King. Most of his character arc is Leon trying to understand that he can trust MC/other people and that they care for him as a person, not a mighty powerful being. Despite his attitude towards everything, Leon is just a character who has to learn to undo his past ways of thinking that were hurting him and the people around him (and he does healthily learn). Leon's behavior is also very cat-like.

Would he be able to keep all the progress he made in a position similar to where he was most hurt.

He also marries mc and has a kid in that route so ig there's that. From what I've seen he changes a few things to allow everything to go smoothly.

Also to note Star-crossed myth has generally happy endings and is on positive notes most of the time compared to other god media being nitty gritty. I may be reading too deep into this to cope with the bad ending of a new video game. For some reason I really love fics/concepts with the scm gods that are tragic like actual mythology/fairytales

I just consumed a bunch of different media that dealt with characters becoming omnipotent gods and it never ends well.

Most of the times characters who ascend to higher status are just left as watchers, in new forms, only watching what once was and what they once had. No one knows if the previous versions of themselves are still there, or just apart of something bigger now.

There was one fan excerpt where the chars of the show were just yelling at the sky/showing the sky items they bought. They did this hoping to show their old friend who had became an omnipotent god said items, and having no idea if they saw it or not. The ex-partner of the person who ascended also spent a majority of the show trying to speak to them again. Even if they weren't together it was the act of love that stayed.

In a new video game that just came out, theres a character who has a really traumatic backstory and has the option to stop their abuser and 'ascend' to a position like their captor. The entire arc of this specific character relies on them making their own choices for once and not being apart of someones plan, and you as the player have the option to watch them make their choice to ascend or try to change their mind. When this character ascends it literally cursed them into continuing their cycle of abuse and losing themselves in the process. Spent the entire game going through character development only for a ritual to just undo everything hahaha imissthemsomuch one thing ascending did was take away their sense of humor and ability to be nice.

anyways wishing leon the best in the messy story of star-crossed myth xoxo dont let the power get to ur head babes hope he does better than the mf king fuck that dude

also random hc ill probably draw later is I like to believe that both Zyg and Leon were in line for the throne as kids/young gods. Leon a little more favored bcuz his powers r stated to be strongest, Zyg being older and more responsible at the time.

tldr Leon probably pissed off Zyglavis somehow and Zyg gave leon the 'ultimate punishment' and took himself out of the competition. The punishment being the weight of the crown.

[MINOR SPOILERS FOR CHAPTER 8 OF MY FIC FCMH SCMS]

Love Your Laugh!

--Suction Cup Man stopped laughing for a while from being self-conscious about it. But, he has a best friend:)--

|Lee - SCM -- Ler - Gina|

___________________________________________

Suction Cup Man was staying at Gina's for a while. Why? He was growing insecure about his laugh and needed company. I mean... snorts and hiccups? Come on! What's NOT to be embarrassed about it! The fact that he laughs easily, too, makes it worse! So, he's been holding in his laughter. Gina has definitely noticed this. This wasn't Suction Cup Man... this was a Sad Man. Something HAD to be done...

Suction Cup Man was in the spare bedroom, lying down curled in a ball. Gina sighed and walked in "Hey Raspberry... how's it going?" Gina said in a tone of concern, closing the door quietly behind her. "...Fine." Suction Cup Man sighed, looking devastated. "You... want some tea, Buddy?" Gina asked as Suction Cup Man shook his head, some tears welling up in his eyes. "No..." his voice cracked as he covered his face. "Awh... bud..." Gina frowned, walking over to him, sitting next to him. "C'mere..." She opened her arms for him as he crawled over, sitting in her lap curled in a ball, her arms wrapped around him, rocking slightly yet slowly back and forth. "Shh, it's okay, Raspberry..." "I'm a weirdo..." he covered his face in his hands. "Cuppy... you aren't." "Why is it so weird?!" He whined, curling up more. He was so insecure about it that it was getting concerning... he hardly ever laughed, and it was affecting him and his health deeply.

Gina knew her idea was probably bad, but... it just HAD to work. Giving him tea, new towers to climb, plushies?? He loved all of that! Yet, none of it worked. So, this was the only thing that COULD work. "Cuppy... can I see your hand?" Gina asked in a soft tone, holding her hand out. Suction Cup Man sniffed and looked up at her. He looked at her hand before sighing shakily and giving him her hand. She gently flipped his hand so she was holding his back hand before gently placing a finger on it, tracing his hand lines (idk what they're called:3). Suction Cup Man flinched slightly before a wobbly smile appeared on his face

"Ehe... no-- Gihina!" He giggled softly, shaking his head. "What's wrong, bud?" "I hahate this-- plehease!" He snorted, which made him cover his mouth with his free hand. "Um... I don't think so, mister!" Gina gently kept tickling his hand before grabbing his other, nuzzling his palm "Wahait-- aaahahahaha! *hic* G-Gihihijima!! Ahahahaha!" He giggled, snorted, hiccuped... oh well. This was all worth it to hear those bubbly giggles and wobbly smile! "Come on, your laugh is so sweet.." Gina said with a genuine tone. "Noho it's nohot!" Gina gasped, pretending to be offended "My goodness! Making such false words?! What has happened to this generation..." "Pff-- whahahat?!" He snorted as he laughed more at Gina's choice of words. "Ya heard me. Your laugh is so bubbly, snorty, hiccup-y, cute~" "Naha!" "Naha? Nope, sorry sir, gotta repeat that." "Gihihina!!" "That's not what you said, you silly goose!" Gina gently spidered her fingers up and down his arm. "Shihihit!! Gihihina plehehease! *hic* Oh nohoho!" "Oh yes!" "Gihina!!--" He could've just pulled oit and ran away or pushed her to make her stop. But... he loved this affection. Even if it made him laugh. "Who's a widdle cutie?~" "Noho-- nohot mehe!" "Aww, it IS you, isn't it?~" "Fuhuhuck!!" He hippcuped and snorted, Gina chuckling along. "You hear that? Adorable laughter~" "Okay! Ohokay! I gehet it! It's cuhuhute!!" "You obviously like this, right?~" "Soho?!" Gina chuckled before stopping. "Don't be ashamed of your Laugh, buddy. I love your bubbly giggles." She smiled, booping his nose softly as he huffed "Whatever half-bald bastard..." Suction Cup Man mumbled, crossing his arms."Oh, you red little shi--" Gina pounced on him, pinning him underneath her before lifting up his shirt and blowing the biggest raspberry she could

"BWAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! GIHIHIHIHIHINA!! NO-- NONONONONONOOOOOHOHOHOHOHOHO!! *snort and hic*" He shrieked with laigher his feet kicked slightly

"You take that back, mister!!"

A/N: Set after Scorpio's Promise of Infinity. Spoilers for his path.

Day Twenty-Three: Fairy Trail (Scorpio/MC)

It was the first Christmas that  ____ was spending in the heavens since she had got married to Scorpio, but she hadn’t asked him to do anything for it and he hadn’t asked her if she wanted him to. Right now she was more focussed on getting used to life in the heavens, not having been recovered from the incident that long. 

Stepping out of the palace and into the grounds to get some air,  ____’s eyes widened a little as she noticed a string of fairy lights leading out of the palace grounds. She hesitated: Scorpio had quite rightly told her to be cautious about stuff like this - as she was the wife of the Vice Minister of Punishments, someone could take advantage of that. However, she soon dismissed that thought: She doubted anyone who would be attempting to affect the departments would be aware of what fairy lights even were and if they did she doubted they would realise that they were specifically usually lights for this exact time of year.

No, it seemed far more likely that this had to be the doing of one of the twelve gods of the Zodiac. Knowing that Scorpio had told her that he was going to be very busy today, and with nothing better to do right this second, she started to follow the trail of lights.

As the lights led her into the forest on the outskirts of the palace grounds,  ____ started to become a bit wary again. Perhaps she should have mentioned this to one of the others? Then again if this was a danger to the departments somehow, perhaps she could find out what the plan was - or could one of her friends already be in danger?

Whilst she was mulling this over, her body went tense and she paled as a familiar laugh filled the air. Now she was concerned for a completely different reason. It seemed her initial thoughts had been correct after all: this was the doing of one of her friends. The problem was, that laugh… that laugh belonged to Ichthys. She glanced around, wondering whether the prankster would actually make an appearance now she had heard him, but that didn’t happen. It seemed odd that the other had let her know of his presence before she had set anything off too - so perhaps that meant that whatever this was wasn’t meant for her?

Getting a bad feeling about this,  ____ took a deep breath and resumed following the fairy lights, now rather dreading what she’d find at the end of it. Feeling a familiar aura as she approached a small clearing in the forest, and noticing a shadowy figure tied up to a lit up tree in the distance, she broke into a run. Ichthys, he’s gonna kill you for this!

***

Finally reaching the - admittedly rather impressive looking - Christmas tree,  ____ snapped her fingers and the fairy lights that were tangled around her husband fell away. She hurried over to his side. “Scorpio! Are you okay?”

“Dammit woman, what did I say about not trusting weird things like this?”

 ____ rolled her eyes. “I worked out that this seemed too Earth like… besides, would you rather I had left you here?”

Scorpio scowled, clenching his hands at his side. “Where the hell is that problem child?! If I get my hands on him, I-” He cut off as there was a familiar laugh once more. “Ichthys! Come here this instant!”

“Nu uh, you’re clearly too mad for that,” Ichthys’ voice floated through the trees. “Why not make the most of this? Ziggle knows you’re investigating the strange appearance of a trail of lights. Later!” There was a snapping noise that was presumably the other teleporting away from the area.

Now that they were alone,  ____ looked at Scorpio awkwardly, her husband also seemingly not knowing what to say right now.

In the end it was  ____ who broke the silence. “Um… did Ichthys… do this to get us to spend some time together today?”

“Seems like it,” Scorpio muttered. “Frickin’ problem child. Can never just do things normally.”

 ____ sighed softly. “If he’d just suggested to you that you should take a break from work today would you have listened?”

“Hell no, and Zig’s probably gonna get on our case for this later…”

“It’s not like this is your fault,”  ____ murmured. She moved closer to the other. “Seems Ichthys has given us a Christmas present so we can have a Christmas after all.”

Scorpio frowned at her. “So, you were thinking about what time of year it is…”

“Of course, but I wasn’t sure what to do about it,”  ____ admitted. “Things have changed.”

“If you’d wanted to do this still, especially this year, you only had to ask, moron.”

 ____ smiled softly at him. “Just having this time alone with you is more than another for me.”

Glancing away from her, heat rose to Scorpio’s cheeks. “Tch…” He then turned back to her with a soft smile. “Then guess I should be grateful to that blasted fish for doing this.”

“... You aren’t going to let him get away with tying you to a tree though, right?”

Scorpio relaxed into a smirk with a rather dangerous glint in his eyes. “Oh hell no. Ichthys won’t know what’s hit him when I catch up with him later.”

 ____ forced back a laugh, though she did feel a little sorry for the other. She wrapped her arms around her husband.

Returning the embrace, Scorpio was about to pull her into a kiss when her thoughts filtered through to him and he looked at her with a scowl. “If you dare ask how Ichthys even managed to tie me to a tree, I might do the same to you and leave you here!”

“You wouldn’t dare!”  ____ retorted, holding him tightly. 

Scorpio smirked at her. “Try me.”

“... Would you tell me if I make you some of ‘those’ ?”  ____ asked softly.

“... Maybe…” Scorpio muttered, blushing a little. “But only cos I haven’t got you anything for Christmas.”

“Oh but you have,”  ____ responded softly. “You are here. Once I freed you you could have just teleported both of us back to the palace.”

Scorpio sighed and looked back at her with a soft smile. “I can never win with you. Come here.”

Pulling her closer, they shared a kiss under the glinting of the fairy lights of the giant Christmas tree that Ichthys had set up, their minds on how to both thank the other and at the same time get their own back on what he had just pulled.

[thegnomelord]

I jabe now had a headache/migraine/whatever for two days that I keep forgetting what day it is more often than I am suppose to.

Anywho

How's life

How's the other anons

And to other people reading this

There are sharks in your walls :3

- 🦭

Oof, sounds rough buddy. If you've got a persistent migraine and you work in an office environment you might wanna try massaging your sternocleidomastoid muscle (SCM) (look it up) as the tightness of that fucker causes pain in your temple/forehead area.

Life's eh, trying to push out another chapter for my fic while recovering from a wicked feever

The other anons are... surprisingly sane, besides duck who used my pelvis as a vase :/

Hope you start feeling better seal :Dd
