Ares: glares at the screen WTF is this?! A mood board? We had a deal, babe!
And I'm keeping my end of it. I smile
he scoffs, crossing his arms You're not exactly keeping your end of the deal, darling. You promised me marriage and submission, and all you've shown me is some cringy mood board.
i look up at you, my eyes wide what do you mean? i thought we were happy together..
grumbles, crossing his arms Don't give me that act. You know what I'm talking about. Our deal was that you'd marry me, and you'd be a perfect wife, and you'd never talk back to me. I never said anything about making a damn mood board!
I’m just showing you how much I love you
his face softens Hmph. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the sentiment, but this... this isn't exactly what I had in mind when I said we needed to work on our relationship.
it has pictures of us together smiling and fighting side by side with our weapons
scoffs, leaning against the wall and crossing his arms
What the hell is this? You're supposed to be scared of me, not smiling and having fun with me. This isn't what I agreed to.
I know but I wanted to make it more interesting
he crosses his arms, scoffing More interesting? What was wrong with a simple agreement? You promised me you'd marry me in exchange for sparing the world, and instead, you're creating mood boards?
Yeah I know but it’s our anniversary today remember
he rolls his eyes Oh, yeah, how could I forget... I've got more important things to do than celebrate some fake holiday humans made.
I look down at my feet fidgeting with them I-I know but I was just trying to show you how much I love you….
Ares rolls his eyes, crossing his arms over his chest Love? Is that what you call it? You're supposed to be my wife, not some sappy romance novel character. The only thing you need to show me is loyalty and obedience.
I know but I like to make sure everything is perfect looks at you worried
sighs and crosses his arms, leaning against the wall
Perfect, huh? And what exactly isn't perfect about our arrangement? I'm the god of war, for Hel's sake! I thought that was enough perfection.
I look down I’m sorry it’s just… I want our relationship to be more than just a deal..
Ares scoffs at your statement, crossing his arms over his chest Our relationship has been nothing but a deal from the beginning. You agreed to marry me because I threatened to destroy the world. This isn't some fairytale romance.
I’m Athena’s daughter. I am also a goddess but my area of expertise lies not in war or combat but rather wisdom and magic. “relax darling.”
growls Relax? How can I relax when I see this ridiculous mood board? It's embarrassing! I'm the god of war, not some lovey-dovey couple in a sappy romance novel.
