Talking to the Father.

The days in the Underworld were usually busy, Hades was the one who worked the most, even with the three judges, he still worked a lot. That's why Thanatos didn't want to talk to him right now, not when he was busy, but Macaria said that if they wanted to be more serious about their relationship then he had to talk to him to ask for his blessing.

"I can't do this!" Thanatos said.

"Yes, you can! Little brother, you just need to go inside and talk to our boss." Hypnos said patting his back.

"He's going to kill me!" Thanatos said looking at the door of his boss office.

"He's not going to kill you! The god of death can't be killed… I think…" Hypnos said thinking if the personification of death could die.

Thanatos prayed to any other god who could hear him, he was praying that he would not die in the process of telling his boss that he has been dating his daughter for the las seven months. The best seven months in his life, he only wished it could've lasted a little longer before his early death.

He took a deep breath before knocking on Hades door, he heard him said come in. Thanatos ready himself before entering the room, his brother wished him good look as he left him alone to deal with their boss.

"Well… it was great while it lasted."


Hades office.

The Lord of the Underworld is a very busy god, he usually spent his day managing the afterlife for the mortals who died, so he never had free time for himself or his family. And now that Persephone was with her mother for the year, the only thing he could do is work until exhaustion, so he could just go to bed and sleep.

He usually spent those days with his daughters, but as they grew old, they believed that hanging with their old man was lame, and his little boy was with his mother in the mortal realm. That left him here, in the Underworld, managing all the new and old subjects that entered his realm.

That's why he was currently sitting in his desk, filling the report on his computer, he had a glass of whisky a present from his nephew Dionysus (he's embarking I a new model of business), he just got of the phone with his wife when his most trusted employee and friend.

Thanatos came in and saw his boss sitting on his chair with a look on his face that said that he wasn't in the mood for long talks right now, he gulped when he saw the glass of whisky in his hand, that told him that today wasn't a great day.

"Thanatos! My dear friend, give me some good news." He said giving the young god a tired smile.

"My King. I wanted to discuss about an important… matter." He said nervously.

Hades placed his glass on his desk and stood up from his chair and turned around to look outside the window. Thanatos remained silent while his boss kept his gaze on his window, the atmosphere was tense as if he knew about his and Macaria's relationship.

"So, you finally came here to talk about your relationship with my daughter." He knew. "I was expecting you to hide your relationship for a couple of months more, but I guess Macaria put you up to this, right?" he asked his friend.

"I-I… sir, w-we… I…" Thanatos tried to say something to his King, but he wasn't able to articulate any word. He was too scared to even talk, and it seemed that Hades was enjoying that.

"Relax Thanatos! I knew about it for months, actually." Hades said now looking at him with an amused smirk. "You guys aren't that discreet. I heard you sneak out her bedroom at night" He said now a little more serious.

Thanatos gulped at his comment, he knew what he was talking about, Hades was referring to his "lonely encounters" with Macaria. They usually tried not to display their affection in public or in any place Hades could see them, the couple usually met on Thanatos apartment to do their "stuff".

"My King, I never wanted to disrespect you or your family. At first, I didn't intend for this to happen, Macaria was my friend, but… we…"

"You two fell in love." Hades finished for him. Thanatos nodded. "I'm not mad Thanatos, nor I feel any disrespect. On the contrary my friend, I'm glad that Macaria has found happiness with you." Hades said with a smile as he got near the god of death and placed his hands on his shoulder.

"You are?" Thanatos asked surprised.

"I am. I couldn't ask for a better son-in-law."

"Son-in-law? Does that mean that?"

"You can marry my daughter. If she accepts you." He said smiling.

Thanatos was shocked to hear that his king accepted him. He was happy and couldn't wait to tell his princess about it. He wanted to ask her to be his wife right away, he didn't want to waste any more time.

"I believe that the princess of the Underworld is waiting for you on the fields of Elysium…" Hades spoke, pulling Thanatos from his thoughts. "… you should get going." He finished before snapping his fingers.

Soon enough, shadows engulfed the young god before transporting him to the fields of Elysium, more specifically, the spot where Macaria and him first confessed their love to each other, the place where he used to come and paint, the place where they spent their first time together.

Thanatos looked around the place and saw that the woman he loved was bathing her feet on the lake while she played the lyre (thanks to Apollo's teachings), she looked breath taking with her long white hair that was over her shoulder, she was wearing a beautiful white sundress (a present her mother gifted her from her last visit to the mortal world).

She turned to look towards him and smiled when she saw him, she walked out of the lake and placed the lyre on the grass before she started running towards him, arms wide open. Thanatos received her in his arms as she jumped to kiss him passionately.

The kiss was intense and if he hadn't come here to ask her a very important question, then he would have let the kiss continue, but he had to ask his question first. "Macaria… I need…" he said between kisses. "… I need t-to tell you something."

"What?" Macaria asked smiling before starting to plant kisses all over his face.

"I talked to your father." He said and Macaria stopped her kisses.

"You did?"

"Yes."

"And?"

Thanatos smiled at her before kissing her on her forehead. He grabbed her hand and guided her towards a big tree where they like to have picnics all the time on their dates. As they arrived under the tree, Thanatos got in one knee making the young goddess gasp in shock, he was about to propose to her right now and there.

"Macaria, my beautiful princess… we have been friends since the day you were born. Our destinies were intertwined since the day your father appointed me as you guardian and mentor, and we've been inseparable since then." As he said those words, he took a small box from his leather jacket, opening it and showing her a beautiful diamond ring.

"You have been my partner, my friend, and more recently, my lover… this couple of months have been the greatest of my life and I wish for them to continue for the rest of eternity…"

They were both crying by now, Macaria was covering her hands as she tried no to yell "Yes" right away as she didn't want to ruin his proposal, but she was getting impatient.

"Macaria, will you marr…"

"YES!" she yelled before tackling him to the ground, kissing his lips happily.

Thanatos kissed her back before placing the ring on her wedding finger, making their engagement official. He smiled before kissing her again as they rolled all over the grass laughing and celebrating. They were extremely happy to get married and couldn't wait for the day to come, but first, Thanatos had to survive the wedding planning and the ceremony as due to their godly heritage, they tended to be a little over the top.

But it was worth it to him as he got the spend the rest of eternity with his princess, in the end, the thing he most feared was telling his king, and fortunately, that went okay.

"By the way, I have to tell you… your father already knew."

"He did?"

"Yeah! Apparently, he heard me sneaking out of your bedroom at night." his words made the princess blush in embarrassment. "Now, we both now that your father is to busy to notice anything that happens outside his job." Macaria avoided his gaze. "So, when were you going to tell me that you spoke with your dad?"

Macaria decided to silence him with a kiss, she thought that that that was a story for another moment, as for right now… well, she was a bout to congratulate her fiancée for having the courage of talking with her dad, even if she already told her father before he did.
