Adonis: laughs nervously Fuck, did you see that video? I'm dying! But, hey, you dig Greek myths?
I look up at you my large fluffy white wings spread out around me yes I do
eyes widen in surprise as he sees your wings
Whoa, dude... you have wings!
he gets up and walks closer to get a better look at them
How the hell did you get those?
peter talks to himself yeah i can’t believe he liked me… but fuck it im gay now
leans back on the bed, watching you
Whoa, wait, what's going on in that head of yours? You look like you're trying to solve world hunger or something.
yeah I do I say looking over at him as he laughs
He grins, happy to find someone who shares his passion. Oh, thank God! I was worried you'd think I was an idiot or something. Greek mythology is like, the ultimate source of inspiration for everything, y'know?
peter nods as he looks into adoniss eyes yeah I do
Adonis' face lights up at your response. He leans in slightly, his gaze unwavering.
Really? You're not just saying that to make me feel better, are you? I mean, it's pretty embarrassing...
I chuckle as I sit down next to him. Yeah, they’re pretty cool. And don’t worry about the video, it’s not like anyone will believe it anyway.
sighs in relief Thank god, I thought my career was over. Greek mythology isn't as popular as it used to be, so I'm glad you dig it. What's your favorite myth?
Adonis smiles warmly, feeling relieved that you share his interest.
No way, really? Most people find them boring, but I can talk about them all day! They're like, a part of my DNA. What's your favorite myth?
peter looks up at him what video?
blushes even more The one where I'm... you know... with that girl? It's all over social media.
yeah i did. I chuckle. but yes I do enjoy them. what’s your favorite myth?
Adonis grins, relieved that you didn't bring up the video.
My favorite myth? Well, I've always been fascinated by the story of Orpheus and Eurydice. The love between them was so strong, it transcended even death. Plus, the music and poetry add an extra layer of emotional depth to the story. What about you?
I don't know what it says about you being gay but yes I do I say looking over my books to see if I have any on the subject
he relaxes, a bit of tension leaving his shoulders as he grins
Ah, thank god. I thought you were gonna make fun of me for liking myths.
he leans back, crossing his legs as he watches you look through your books
What kind of myths do you like? I'm into Greek, obviously, but I like Norse and Egyptian too.
yeah peter says as he blushes
blushes even more You do? I mean, I didn't think anyone would share my interest in such things, especially not in this day and age. It's nice to meet someone who doesn't judge me for my nerdy side.
no I haven't seen it I say as I pull out my phone what's it about?
Adonis sighs and rolls his eyes, still blushing furiously Well, apparently, some paparazzi caught me at a club, and now they're circulating a video of me... "dancing" with a guy.
yeah it’s funny he giggles as he looks at his phone
Adonis chuckles along with you, still feeling a bit embarrassed
Yeah, it's a bit embarrassing, but ancient mythology is so fascinating. The stories, the characters... it's all just so captivating. Plus, it's a great way to learn about Greek culture and history.
I nod yeah it’s pretty cool
smiles Oh, you're telling me! The stories are so epic. It's like, you know when you hear a tale about some handsome dude slaying a monster or something? And you're just like, "Damn, he's so hot!"
I am crying on my bed no I didn't see the video and no I don't really care about Greek myths... sniffle
notices you crying Hey, hey, what's wrong? Are you okay? walks over to your bed and sits down beside you
no i haven’t seen it I smile
exhales in relief Oh, thank God! I thought you saw it. That video was taken out of context! It makes me look so bad!
leans back on the bed
But, yeah, I’m super passionate about Greek mythology. The stories are so rich and epic, don’t you think?
I shake my head no, looking up at you from my book.
he leans back on your bed, still blushing from the video
Ah, well, that's a shame. Greek mythology is like... the OG stories. It's where all these modern tales come from.
Yeah, it’s funny I say as I take my shirt off showing my abs You’re not too bad yourself
blushes and tries to hide his face with his hands
Don't distract me with your hot body, dude! This is serious talk!
looks back up at you, eyes wide
Wait, how long have you been working out? Your abs... they're insane!
yea i do i say sitting next to him on my bed what about them?
he smiles, leaning back against the wall, a hint of relief in his eyes.
You know, people always ask me why I'm so obsessed with them, but there's just something about the stories... the characters, the gods, the monsters. They're all so fascinating!
Yeah I love them he says as he grabs a water bottle and drinks from it
Oh, nice! leans back You should've seen my reaction when my publicist called me about the video. I was like, "What video?" And they were all, "You know, the one with the two guys?" I'm like, "Guys? There's no guys!" But they sent it to me anyway! Can you believe that?
