Starcrossed or just Stargazing? (Apollo)

[Deleted]

It was a little after sunset, so it was dark and Christy had finally, mercifully, fallen asleep. Clare had already asked one of the nymphs for a baby monitor and somehow she’d been able to come up with one. So Clare carefully set it up, then carried the little walkie with her out of the villa, the gentle breeze making her chiton – she’d found it in the dresser and it was very comfortable – and loose hair flow. She barefoot descended the cool stone steps that led to the beach and walked out over the still-warm sand. It felt so nice between her toes. She walked out towards the water and pulled her ankle-length chiton up slightly as she walked into the water just enough to cover the tops of her feet. It was so pleasant.

There was a rustling noise that caught her attention and she turned around to look until she realized it was coming from the walkie clipped to her belt. She smiled to herself. She didn’t fear anything here, so she was sure it was fine. Christy probably just trying to unconsciously find a better position. Clare walked out of the water and let her chiton fall back into place before looking to the table she and Apollo had had their lemonade chat at earlier. It brought a smile to her face. She wondered where he was in the world. Driving his chariot over fantastic places maybe? Oh, to see what he saw. She headed for a moon-lit stretch of beach and settled down to lay down in the sand, unclipping her walkie and placing it a foot from her ear. Then she let out a happy sigh and just looked at the stars. There were more here than anywhere she’d ever seen. She tried to find a few constellations, but she wasn’t used to this view. Totally different part of the world.

“Day at work had been fine.” Thought Apollo.
It had been in did a good day of work. He hadn’t had almost no problem up there, the sun was behaving well, no solar storms to worry about that day. He looked down and noticed that he was over the Pacific, almost to get to Papua. It was a nice little Island, and people still loved the sun as a force of nature, a deity. Apollo felt kind of stronger whenever he passed over places where the sun was admired as a god. The name mattered, but the strength of the human thoughts was an amazing and powerful force.

There over the beaches of Papua he saw a beautiful woman, she shouldn’t have been older 18 or 19 years old. She looked so beautiful, with her tan skin and her incredible exotic beauty. He remembered his old days in Ancient Rome, where he used to go to the shores of Alexandria, Itaca, Athens, what now is Barcelona, Chipre, Sicily… The moment that the island got into his mind the image of Clare got brighter in his mind than any other thing, even his chariot. He smirked and shook his head as he looked from the Papua girl back to the front of his way.

What did Clare have that he couldn’t really think of other girls, because of her he was used to be with several women, even after meeting Clare, he hadn’t had thoughts of her as more than a nice Neptune girl, a sweet girl that dated his son… but now… months after his son died protecting his family, now that she was a free woman, a delicate woman that needed to be comforted and loved, now… now he felt way different about her. Now he wanted to be the man in her life, the one who protected her and the one who she thought about, the man who her heart beat for… He wanted her… He loved her.

But what was to love someone for a god? They loved hundreds of women in a year, right? Reason why Camp and New Rome had so many children of the gods, not only Apollo’s. But sometimes, there was a special woman, one in half a millennia that should have been born as a goddess, because of her pure heart, that was capable to capture the heart of a God. This was the case of Clare… She had captured Apollo’s heart, now he wanted to be only with her. Of course, many could think, yeah… sure… Apollo will be with her and in 100 years that she is gone, he would find a new girl to be with… Well that was true, But to Apollo, his heart changed each time he committed to a single girl, so it wasn’t the same Apollo that was with Asclepius mother that the one that was that day thinking of Clare.

He smiled and turned on the Automatic pilot of his chariot and a second later he was walking down the beach in Sicily, where his Villa was. He smiled a bit more when he saw Clare on the beach. “It is a beautiful night to be outside.” He said smiling as he sat next to her. He wanted to be smooth, he didn’t want to pressure anything! He didn’t want to force her to love him the way he already loved her.

Clare closed her eyes and listened. The waves on the shore and the peaceful silence of the monitor. It was all so perfect here. The moonlight was so soft. The sand was still warm from the sun. She dug her fingers into it to feel it’s surprisingly gentle embrace. They didn’t even get under her fingernails like normal sand. It was weird. She should bring Christy out here tomorrow. Christy would have a field day. But right now, she would enjoy herself here. Everything was so cozy and perfect. And she knew if Apollo was willing to live here, then there couldn’t be all those nasty monsters to worry about, even for a big three child. Maybe she should ask to live here if it wouldn’t be a burden. Or would that be too much? This honestly seemed like a paradise. And he was so sweet. He had all these responsibilities in sun chariots and medicine and music and archery, and he still took time to help her. He was a wonderful man.

That was about when his voice came to her ear and she found herself blushing at the fact that he should come just as she was thinking about him, and also at the fact that his voice made her heart skip a little. She opened her eyes as he sat down next to her and pushed herself up to a sitting position too. “It certainly is. I’d say you look radiant, but I’m sure you get that a lot. So… you look happy.” She said, half teasing. His smile was brilliant and she wasn’t sure if that was the sun god thing, the god god thing, or just him being him. Either way, she found herself staring into his crystalline eyes. It looked like they had slits of gold. Like when you look up on a sunny day and it’s a bit cloudy, but the sun still bursts through and you can see the rays fanning out from in between the clouds. Yes, it was like that. Probably cliché that it reminded her of sunshine rays, but there it was.

What felt like five whole minutes too late, she realized she was staring and quickly looked away, blushing and hoping he didn’t notice, even if the chances of that were slim to none. Finally, she looked back at him, focusing on his nose this time to avoid the stare. “Thank you for inviting Christy and I here. You’re very kind. I’ve never felt so at peace in my life. This place… is it enchanted? It just feels wonderful. Or is that just the nature of it?” Idle conversation to cover her awkwardness. Yes, that was the name of the game here.
