#deity au

A strained sigh, tinged with something a little more… warmer. Affectionate, even. Glancing upwards, you meet pale, cerulean eyes. The shade of mist, swirling around, shrouding all that lay within.

Azul was never easy to read.

As a deity of finance, business, he prided himself on his poker face. The way he could navigate sensitive, risky negotiations with a sly little smile on his face. Azul’s rather skilled at scamming…. Well, encouraging people to invest in whatever he’s deem amusing enough at the moment.

But ever since you chanced across his ruined shrine, and… in your modern lingo, “chatted him up.” Azul finds that the crease in between his brows only grows deeper by day.

See, as a forgotten deity, Azul doesn’t have… much energy left in him to grant any wishes. All he can really do is listen to you talk. Seated next to you on his altar, listening to you talk about your day, vent about your issues, or… just sitting next to you in silence, his hands feeling weirdly… cold, and empty. Itching to hold another.

Itching to hold on to you.

Despite himself, Azul finds himself fond, of you. Goodness, how lonely must you be, to seek out the company of a faded god of the past?

Every time you lay your head on his lap, his fingers unconsciously finds themselves entangled in your hair, stroking and coaxing. He’ll grumble forever about how incessant you sound, complaining about inconsequential people.

You don’t have to pay much mind to the chatter of these mortals.

You are the beloved of the deity of business, after all.

Guess who relapsed into deity ghoap hell

grian is this god’s favorite princess and it was wonderful to read again

it started with a kiss.

a simple kiss, as they always initiated. you know how deities are, they take whatever they want, whenever they want.

"beloved..." they murmured against your lips. that look in their eyes, so intense yet so utterly focused on you, it never failed to make your heart flutter.

a hand cupped the back of your neck, the other wrapped around your waist, pulling you close to them. they kissed you passionately, the type that always left you breathless and dazed afterwards.

being loved by a deity never ended well for a mortal, you knew that full well. but you couldn't help it, their love was a temptation no mortal could resist. you had given in to that temptation ages ago, drowning in their endless adoration until the day you stopped breathing.

you didn't notice that glint in their crimson eyes, nor did you notice the golden ichor seeping out from their lips. They could feel it, your mortality slowly fading every day.
