93: Art.

Zagreus couldn't believe what he heard... Klein just gave the chance he begged the Fates for! Isn't that wonderful!? But he also gave him a time limit, but that doesn't matter because all he needed was the chance! Now that he had a chance he could do 'that', what his mother called the most powerful seduction method that Aphrodite taught her when she still lived in Olympus: Private touching and teasing!

Sadly, Zagreus did not know this was said in a way that both partners as touching and trading each other sexually. In his mind, Zagreus pictured him a Klein holding hands while he teases Klein about him about something silly that he did, then his teasing went too far and Klein stopped being flustered, and to shut his mouth he kissed him, which takes his breath away and- He should stop here before something rises. "Underwood Prince... Let's see how far you want to take this, shall we? A year, three hundred and sixty-five days for you to seduce me to the point where I can only love you."

Zagreus just nodded, his eyes focusing on blue-golden eyes as they stared deeply into his soul, Klein smiled while Zagreus shook his head, saying: "Then... It starts now?" He needed to know if he needed to act now, Klein smirked at him and Zagreus could feel his legs weaken at the sight of his sexy smile. "No. It starts tomorrow, today you don't have the chance yet..." Zagreus sighed in relief that he still had some time to think about what he should do, touching and teasing would be a good strategy but he isn't that bold to simply tease Klein... Plus he never saw Klein do something silly before nor had he ever seen Klein blush... Not that he remembers.

There were only some times he saw Klein show genuine emotion like right now with that cocky smirk he just gave him... It showed that he was challenging Zagreus and wanted Zagreus to try to seduce him and that one time they met Cerberus... No, every time they meet Cerberus Klein smiles like a little toddler and has a childish attitude towards the dog, his very intimidating aura goes away and he is just a man playing with a three-headed ginormous red dog. Pretty normal by Zagreus standards. It's also cute how he smiles sweetly when he is taking care of a plant, or creating something with clay, or wood, or even stone... Like he is relieved that he can also create things and not only destroy them, that's what he told his mother when she asked why he liked art.

Zagreus feels like Klein fears what he can do, maybe he destroyed something precious to him before? After all, he is the God of Destruction according to his mother, and when they first met he was emotionless, he acted and behaved like he was dead and never showed emotions... That was until 15 years later when he smiled for the first time when Persephone gave him a flute to play, which he loved to do on specific days of the year. On October 8th, he played it that time, even though no one knew the calendar cause it hasn't been invented yet Klein told her what day it was when he started to play for the first time... She also didn't know why that day was special to him.

Later that day, Zagreus was lying on his bed when suddenly the door of his chambers was kicked open, what follows after was an attack from a proud mother as she hugged her son and said: "Oh, Zagreus! My son, my darling! How proud of you I am!" Persephone went to talk to Klein after he and Zagreus spoke and they were speaking till now, and just recently he told her that he gave Zagreus a chance to make him fall in love with him, and Persephone's seagull noises were heard through the whole palace of the Halls of Hades as Persephone squealed ever so loudly about it.

Zagreus held her back and blushed as he thought about what would Klein's reaction to his mother's seagull noises be... "Mother, calm down please, I still have things to ask you and I need your help once again." Persephone nodded, her head going up and up just like a chicken pecking something to eat. "He gave me a year to make him fall in love with me, but I don't know what to do! I have some ideas but I don't know for certain what I should do... Any opinions?" Zagreus was very nervous and he did not try to hide it from his mother as she placed her fingers in her chin and began to think about something.

"Maybe you should take him to the most beautiful place you know and eat fruits and drink nectar there, just the two of you. Alone together... You should take some Ambrosia he told me it was his first time eating it, do you just took one of his first times~" Persephone teased her son a little as she gave him good advice, somewhere beautiful with a beautiful scenario where they can stay alone together and talk... That's a solid plan. "Should I take him to Elysium? That's the most beautiful place I can think of that is in the Underworld." Persephone soon smiled brightly and said: "Maybe you two should leave the Underworld and go exploring the world together... And adventure where your love can blossom." Zagreus sighed and looked at his mother saying: "But I can't stay out of the Underworld for too long, or else I'll die like always."

Persephone also sighed when she remembered that, she has just been so excited about her idea that she forgot her som couldn't leave the Underworld for too long. "Maybe you two could take care of my gardens together? He loves doing that, watering plants and creating art." Zagreus suddenly had an idea and he smiled while saying: "Mother, you are always right, you are so smart!" Zagreus knew exactly what he should do now!

He is going to do art with Klein.
