I am currently not available at the moment.
If you were directed here by Hythlodaeus, kindly inform him that any messes he creates are his responsibility to clean up.
If this is Hythlodaeus: Please act like a bureau chief for once in your life and stop referring complaints to me.

arises from the grave to be sad again
"I won't let you," he whispers in reply. "I won't let you. I can't--I cannot lose you, Hades, I can't... I can't lose everyone..."
Once again the fear of solitude grips his heart; to be left so alone, as alone as Hades and Lahabrea and Elidibus had been... it's more than Hythlodaeus can stand, and the mere thought makes him want to scream. He tries to find comfort in holding his friend close, in the warmth of his skin and the beating of his heart, but--it's not enough. All too keenly he feels the need for that feeling of unity, the comfort and safety of being able to join their souls brought. Not even becoming one, but simply... being with each other.
"...I miss you," Hythlodaeus whispers, nuzzling into his friend's hair. "I miss you so much, Hades..."
lays you back in it neat and proper :')
But he's been acting like the pieces are all there for so long that a simple tap is enough to shatter him.
"Just one world," he whispers. "One world where it doesn't end. Where we can live forever, watching over our beloved star."
Cupping Hythlodaeus' face, he kisses the other man softly, sweetly. "I'm here," he says hoarsely. "I'm here..."
Re: lays you back in it neat and proper :')
Just one world where it doesn't end... and Hythlodaeus finds himself thinking that maybe there is no need for such lofty goals as stewardship of their star. Just one world where they can just... be, live alongside their people, in peace and harmony and love, without the constant pain and fear that accompanies the life of mortals.
He kisses back just as sweetly, letting himself feel the warmth of Hades's lips on his. Please, he prays to whatever gods might be listening, please let them never have to lose each other. Let them finish their journey here, save their star, and go home. Together.
"I love you," he murmurs, pulling his friend close to rest their foreheads together. "I love you so... With all my heart, with all I have. I'll... I'll bring you home, Hades."

"I would like that," he says quietly. What an even bigger fool he is for loving a fool of a man. "In the meantime, would you remind me of all that I have forgotten? Of our peaceful days together?"

"Of course I will. Anything and everything that you want, Hades. Perhaps if I can create a memory crystal of my own, I'll be able to help you relive it once more..."
no subject
That surely isn't out of the realm of possibility here. Everything he has read thus far leads him to believe it is. Finally shifting his weight of Hythlodaeus, he settles beside his friend and buries his face against their chest.
"I suppose after the culinary exploits I have seen, cutting bread lengthwise isn't the worst crime in the world..."
