Apollo is going to be affectionate to you from your very first meeting, trying his best to be gentle and kind as much as he can as he doesn't want to scare you away. He's naturally drawn to you and he want's you to acknowledge that through everything he does.

While he's getting to know you he's going to look at you very intently, never missing any hints shown by your body language, and even changing his own behaviour just to keep you at ease and comfortable around him. He may seem pushy and over the top to most people but to those he's drawn to he wants them to enjoy his company just as much as he does yours.

Apollo is going to be taking you on many walks while he has deep conversations with you, especially if you appreciate the beauty of nature as much as he does. These conversations may last until the day gets dark but he always finds a way to keep you entertained and will reserve special places which haven't been visited by any other just for you.

Apollo's size may come as a bit of a problem if you're simply a mortal human, especially considering his potential strength compared to yours. He's actively thinking about this while spending time with you and you'll notice how he's trying to be gentle mainly due to how light his touches are and apologies when he thinks he may have been to harsh against you.

Apollo hates to be alone, so you may find him seeking your company at the most random of times, even when you may be busy. He'll do simple things like watch you if you don't have time to spare him much attention, but when you do have time for him he's going to tell you the most vibrant and interesting stories you could ever hear.

Apollo would want to make sure that you were always smiling, and this gives him the perfect excuse and opportunities to tell you jokes or express his humour in his own way. He’s quite over the top with it, but it always gets a laugh out of you without him needing to try that hard.

If you aren’t a godly figure yourself, then he will go out of his way to expose you to new things; such as, his favourite places to go that mortals would never have the chance to experience the beauty of. He’s also going to be quite demanding and pushy when encouraging you to join in on the activities he wants you to try for yourself.

• Apollo’s first reaction towards you would be absolute awe. He’s enamoured by your presence despite only being a normal person and will do all in his power to have you be his, no matter what you say or feel about the situation.

• Apollo generally assumes that most humans are the same, although he’s well aware of their various desires and abilities he knows that they’re all pretty similar deep down. However, once seeing you he immediately feels as if you can’t be the same as everyone else, because if you were then he wouldn’t be so interested in you.

• Apollo sees you to be different mainly due to his first impressions of your beauty and how you carry yourself. He’d notice your kindness after this and would be drawn to your personality and behaviour towards others, hoping that you would dedicate yourself through these acts directly to him.

• Apollo would be desperate to keep you away from other gods and goddesses, especially as nothing good ever happens once multiple gods have set their eyes upon one being (also not saying that one god is a good thing either). He sets himself apart from all other deified beings and would never comprehend anything bad happening to you being the fault of his own and would blame another deity for getting involved for the blame of your misfortune no matter how guilty he actually is at the time.

• He’d be incredibly protective of you constantly and would always be watching over you whenever he can to ensure that he sees you safe. If anything does ever happen he’d spring into action filled with rage and would hide you away to try to prevent any further harm coming your way, even if it was only something minor.

• He would also be very obsessive over you, and unfortunately your answer of no towards his advances wouldn’t be listened to. There would be no escape for Apollo and his obsession would only die if he was forced or something very unfortunate happened to you; however, simply keeping you both apart wouldn’t settle his obsession towards you.

• Apollo thoroughly enjoys spoiling you, with both physical affection and material items. In his mind it’s his job to give all he can to you to ensure your happiness and pleasure, even if he can go overboard and too far without realising it.

• Ares will always be quite possessive of you, even when he doesn’t mean to be. As soon as you’re his everything that comes near you is perceived by him to be a potential threat - he means well and just wants to look after you, but if can be quite a lot sometimes.

• Whenever he goes to war you will always be his good luck charm. You’re there behind the lines and kept comfortable and safe, but the fact that he knows you’re nearby when he’s unleashing the best of his abilities gives him the best self performance he could ever see.

• Ares is rather tough in his affection even though he may not mean to be, it’s just his strength and roughness he doesn’t realise. So, you’d probably have to accustom yourself to him as he doesn’t realise his own strength - especially as it’s something he takes so much pride in.

• Just like his affection, he’s a lot stronger than you are regardless of whether you’re a human or another deity. However, if you are a human he will try his best to be a bit more delicate with you as his own personal experiences have shown how fragile humans really are in comparison to him.

• He is well aware of how vindictive some of the other gods can be, especially those he’s been intimate with before. Because of this he won’t be inclined to introduce you to them and may even hide you until he’s no longer able to.

• Quality time with Ares usually happens after he’s won a battle or isn’t having to fight that day (as well as any duties he’s been freed from) and he always tries to make the most of this time with you. He tries to relax with you, but he’s constantly training so you would accompany him and watch while he does so.

• Ares doesn’t have any genuine hobbies other than fighting and improving hi strength and abilities in battle as he’s never found anything he genuinely enjoys other than this. But if you have any hobbies that you want to continue while with him he’s going to be very interested in them and tries his best to understand why you like them so much.

• You wouldn’t have a lot of alone time or genuine freedom if your were the partner of Ares as you’re always expected to accompany him. He wants to show you off and have you present in all of his life’s aspects so you’re hardly ever apart.

• Ares wouldn’t enjoy being with someone who defied him too often, mainly due to him fighting against others so much in his life that he just wants someone who will always be there for him. He can take active criticism though, and if you point something out he will attempt to better himself on the matter for your sake.

- Hermes would love to show you the world. He’d always take you on cute and romantic dates in exotic and isolated areas of the world whenever the two of you had the time (but because of how fast he is you may feel a little dizzy or sick at times). Quality time for Hermes is worth more than anything that could ever be given between the two of you - except for physical touch of course.

- He tries his best not to come across as too overpowering or daunting for you, as he knows that most humans feel vulnerable in the presence of gods. He only ever visits you in his godly form when you ask him to and he purposefully slows himself down so that he can genuinely experience things with you and make things last as long as possible. Before he met you, it was almost as if he had entirely forgotten how to live at a normal pace.

- Hermes is actually very shy when its comes to romance and loving affection, he’s never committed himself to anything before and when he starts to it’s like something scary he’s never experienced. Because of this, your relationship together is painfully slow until the two of you decide that commitment is what the both of you truly want.

- No matter how long the two of you have been together - Hermes will try to hide you from Olympus for as long as possible. He knows how jealous the women up there can be (and the damage they cause when they feel that way) but he also wants to keep you away from everyone as he knows they’d purposefully try to take you away from him. Most of the gods see love as a game and find pleasure in competing to be better than the other. Also, you would be subjected to horrendous treatment due to being a mortal until you are granted immortality (or die first).

- Every time he comes to visit you he brings flowers. You never know where he brings them from, and usually, he finds them on his travels (whenever he sees an exceptionally beautiful flower he thinks of you), and he feels that you should always be surrounded by the beauty of nature in a world that is industrial and destructive of the natural world. This is another reason why he’d prefer isolation over civilisation, but he would never ask you to move to somewhere remote for him unless he knew you wouldn’t mind.

- Apollo is very affectionate, even to those he may not be closely associate. He may come off as intimidating and narcissistic when you first meet him, but you eventually come to enjoy the warmth of his company.

- You would constantly be receiving gifts from Apollo. Being with him means you’d be spoiled with all the riches in the world if it was up to him. Anything you ask for he will give you and even if that’s not enough he will never stop trying to please you.

- Apollo has a very calming and warm atmosphere around him. Even on the coldest days you would feel cozy just by standing next to him. On the darkest nights he still manages to bring light. Because of this, you’re surrounded by your own happy bubble that can only pop by Apollo leaving; but he never would.

- He can actually be quite possessive when you are around other gods. Not so much normal humans. It’s not that he doesn’t trust you, he doesn’t trust the other gods to keep their hands to themselves. But of course he keeps you protected from them no matter how much he worries.

- Your relationship with Apollo may have actually begun by him noticing you from afar. His stalker tendencies couldn’t help himself and he just had to have you. Every opportunity he could get he was wooing you and showing you with affections so few have received.
