Summary: People always assume that Hades is a bad guy. I mean he may be the King of the Underworld, but he can't be all that bad? This is the true story behind the marriage of Hades And Persephone.

Disclaimer: wait...why did I put a disclaimer? How could I own Greek Myths? I'm NOT thousands of years old...

By the Way: Half way through the Point of View is gonna switch from Persephone to Hades

Persephone POV

I'm Persephone. Daughter of Demeter. Yeah, the Greek goddess of spring. Anyway, I'm here to tell you the real story of me and Hades, Hades and I. Because he did not kidnap me. Ok? Seriously! Where do you people get that idea?

On with the story:

I was sitting next to my mother as she was giving me a lesson on how to grow her famous Golden roses. It was only minutes before my mother would be summoned for the Dark solstice (shh...this will be explained later). All the gods and goddess would be there. And for the first time I was going with her. I was really excited. In my excitement the Golden Rose I had grown in my hand became a whole bouquet. My mother smiled at me before speaking to me, "Excellent! Oh just wonderful honey!" She glanced at the sun. It was setting. She stood and walked in the direction of the thrown room. I laid my bouquet down and trotted after her. When we reached the throne room was when I first saw him.

Hades. God of the Underworld. Gods always told me that he was a mean, brooding, all around unpleasant guy to be around. But to be he just looked so...so...whats the word? Handsome...thats it. Handsome. He had this impossible black hair, with eyes to match. He was muscular with olive skin and a gray satin toga. His toga was held up with pins and ropes made of gold. He didn't sit. I looked around to see if there was an extra chair, but I saw none for him (well there was mine but my mother wanted me to sit in it). I sat by my mothers thrown as the meeting began. Zeus was the first to speak.

"Welcome! Now that everyone has arrived the council may begin," His electric blue eyes shifted towards Hades, "Hello brother, its nice of you to join us at the dark solstice." He didn't seem glad to see him. He kinda spat out the words in disgust.

"Well, brother," He said in a disgusted tone, "I am a god too. Even though I have no throne but I play a role of just as much importance as you do." Zeus looked furious. Hades smirked. While Aunt Hera stroked her husbands arm in an effort to calm him down. The meeting continued. I barely listened. I began playing with a rose I had grown in my hand. Changing its color. I glanced at Hades. I began imagining a rose as black as his hair. My rose instantly changed color. I blinked. I quickly hid the rose under a fold in my dress. Hoping non of the gods present saw it. I glanced up. Everyone was arguing amongst themselves. Eos enter the room. She bowed for in respect of the twelve mighty Olympians. She seemed dis trot when she saw Hades still there.

"Lord Zeus. Dawn is approaching. Lord Apollo must prepare his chariot." She bowed again and left. Soon followed by Apollo.

Thunder rumbled and Zeus disappeared. Hades sighed. He strolled over, well more glided toward me and my mother.

"Now, who is this young goddess?" He kissed my hand, then my mothers.

"This is Persephone, goddess of Spring and my daughter. It is her first meeting Hades." She glared at him. He only smiled. A small smile. But still a smile.

"May I see that flower you grew during the meeting?" I swear I blushed then and there. I dug the rose out of my dress. And handed it to him. "Its very beautiful. Do you mind if I keep it?" I nodded. He glanced at Demeter in a silent goodbye and disappeared. She opened her mouth to speak, but I had already ran off to the garden on Olympus. I scooped up the roses I had grown earlier. I changed them to the color black and sniffed them. I held them to my heart. I heard the gate to the garden creak. I quickly changed them back. A satyr entered the garden.

"Lady Demeter wishes to speak to you." He bowed.

"Thank you, satyr. Could you give these roses to Aphrodite? She wanted some" I handed him the roses and walked to my mothers room. I peeked in the door. My mother was angry. She was scowling at an Iris Message.

"Hades!" I froze. She was talking to hades. I listen more intently. "I know it is required by mother that you attend a meeting once a year but that gives you no reason to talk to any one! Most especially my daughter. I want that rose back. Your the God of all things dead. You do not need a living flower!" I was confused at why she was so angry. "And stay away from my daughter!" She wiped her hand over the message. I ran. I didn't stop until I reached my room. I how could my mom demand my gift back? I was just being nice! Wasn't I?

Hades POV

I only visit Olympus once a year. Before departing for my annual (completely boring) meeting, I walked through my throne room. I stared on how empty it was. Only one giant chair for only one god, me.

I sighed.

The underworld vanished from in front of me and I was standing in my brothers throne room. I slouched against the wall. I stared at the empty thrones. I heard voices nearing the door. I sighed. The underworld was a crowded place but it was dreadfully dull. I sighed again. As the door opened I re-arranged the features on my face to be as expressionless as possible. How I got the job for the most lonely and hated job in the whole world? Well thats another story.

Anyway, I was pretty much prepared for another boring meeting. Thats when my sister Demeter walked in. At her heels scurried a young immortal girl. She was beautiful. She had this black hair that shined in a rose color when light hit it. She had a green dress held by vines. She moved towards a chair next to Demeter's throne.

The meeting droned on. I was greeted and addressed. I always wondered why they hated me so much? Do they even remember why I am the Lord of the Underworld I bet they don't. Any way, I keep getting off track. I saw that goddess fiddling with a color changing flower. I changed to black. I was a little shocked. I mean she had black hair but it was more of a really deep brown. This was underworld, no hope black. She tucked it away in the folds of her dress. I turned my attention back to the council. Zeus began droning on like an idiot about something while Aphrodite did her nails, AGAIN. I must've fallen asleep. (See I developed this neat little habit of learning to sleep while standing and keeping my eyes open. Just for these meetings.)

When I awoke Zeus had just ended the council. I glided over to Demeter and the girl. I kissed their hands.

"Now, who is this young goddess?" I questioned as politely as I could.

Demeter scowled. " This is Persephone, goddess of Spring and my daughter. It is her first meeting Hades." I only smiled. It was a small one because Demeter would think I was mocking her if I did any different.

"May I see that flower you grew during the meeting?" I saw her blush. "Its very beautiful. Do you mind if I keep it?" she handed it over. I glanced at her mother, and disappeared.

Back at home sweet underworld, I placed the flower into a vase. I sniffed it. She was technically my niece but Persephone was beautiful. I would love to have someone as cheery as her down here with me. So that I wouldn't be alone anymore.

I planned this to be a one shot but I thought it might be fun to add more chapters! So don't forget to review. Even if its one word. I would still love to hear your opinions

Review!
