There was something undoubtedly sweet and almost intoxicating in the way Yahweh touched him, so different from anyone else. Woman or man, mortal or immortal, there was just something about the way the other God’s hands felt when they grabbed him, when they touched his skin. Something so genuine in the way Yahweh smiled when he saw him, in the gentleness of his words, in the softness of his tone, the warmth of his voice that made him feel…How? How could did Yahweh made him feel?

If he was completely honest, he had never stopped to think about it. They had been friends for so long that there was just no beginning to them and, Zeus hoped, no end either. It was as if their very existences had gotten tangled together since the very start. How could he wonder about Yahweh since…..Well, since he was another part of himself?

Humans had a name for it, Zeus himself had been the one to create them: Soulmates. Two parts of one whole, though Yahweh and Zeus were separate wholes as well…But that was the closest he could get to describe what his relationship with the other God was like: soulmates. And it was impossible for him to imagine himself exciting without Yahweh or the other way around.

The only other creature that Zeus felt that way towards was Hera. His great love, no matter what he had done or what people said. Zeus knew the truth and he knew he loved Hera with all his heart, even when he didn’t knew how to love her properly. It wasn’t the best kind of love, it wasn’t good and it hurt more than it healed but it was still love and it was still as deep as the oceans and burned like the sun, even as they went their separate ways to live the lives of fallen Gods.

And yet…It wasn’t the same. His love for Hera was completely different from his feelings towards Yahweh. While with Hera his heart felt like constantly burning, while they shared a romance that others would call dysfunction and a passion that flirted with madness, with Adonai he felt…

At ease. Like the world suddenly made sense and the constant storm in his heart, always brutal, became nothing but the soft rain that made flowers blossom. When he was with Adonai, he didn’t feel the need to be anything more than himself. No need for might and thunder, no need of staying with his head held high and his brow furrowed in never ending severity. Laughter came easily, smiles where always playing on his lips, he felt calmed and he felt safe. With his dearest Yahweh, he wasn’t burning, he was the warmth.

“Love…” He muttered, pulling away to look at the other, looking into his eyes and everything clicked into place. Something that had always been there but that he had refused to see. Or maybe he had seen it and simply hadn’t allowed himself to understand it fully. How idiotic of him and how selfish of him to finally notice and want it so much, needing it so much.

“I would love to stay with you for a little while too.” Zeus whispered, like a secret and a confession. He had never been all that good with tender words. So instead of trying to say more, his hand went to the back of Yahweh’s neck and he moved closer to his, their noses brushing together for just a moment before Zeus tilted his head to the side, fixing the angle before closing the distant between them, sealing their lips in an innocent kiss.

And how sweet it all was, how perfectly peaceful and ethereal. If he could make eternity of this moment he would, if he could bottle up the way the contact made him feel, he would. It was as if a supernova had exploded in the middle of his chest, like galaxies were dancing behind his closed eyes, like he had drank ambrosia for the first time and the booming of thunder made his body tremble.

I love him. He thought as if it was obvious and a new discovery at the same time.

I love him.

Zeus pulled back and look at him and again without a pulse to stop or race, Adonai still felt his chest ache with everything he felt for him and with a single glance of those eyes he melted in his spot. But when his hand rested on the back of his neck, he could feel the warmth of his touch even through the strings of his hair tha was pressed against his nape. His own lips parted lightly just to let more air in because it felt like he couldn't breathe and it was just starting but he couldn't even imagine what was to come. Zeus leaned in closer, noses brushing and a little noise left Adonai's chest because this closeness hurt in the most delicious of ways, because he wanted to move closer but he also wanted to respect Zeus's space. His head was a mess, his hands were paralized and he was really focusing on not making everything shake, Adonai swallowed and before he could say or do anything else Zeus moved closer and ...their lips were touching ... he was kissing him. It took him a moment to understand what was happening, to believe it was actually happening. His eyes closed slowly and he moved forward, lips pressing a little harder while a hand went to clench on Zeus's shirt to ground himself because he felt like he was going to float away. It was not only the kiss but the feeling behind it that made him explode, because it felt loving and it was like he could finally open this big jar of emotions, let them flow, ancient and coming from the purest part of his core.

Adonai's eyes opened slowly, glowing like the sun. He didn't want it to end, he wanted to make this the beggining of a new world, new constellations, new everything! ... eventually he pulled back just a little, keeping their faces still inches apart as he couldn't control it anymore, he had never felt this happy because this was something that didn't depend on him but he craved deeply and the love he felt for Zeus was greater than anything, he would put him before anything and himself. 

Adonai's divinity was dripping from his body, he was glowing and it would be a fact that every angel, archangel, seraph, cherub, throne, virtue and power would feel it and even those that were not under his wings because their God was shook and the earth and every sould with him. The glowing slowly faded and he sighed, a smile on his face as he took Zeus's hand.

SIN

(fuck shit)
