Our Love Repeats At Zero

A promised eternity and meaningful vows linked the Greek god of love and a mortal to lifetimes of relationship. Two drips of blood stained one rock as the proof of their devotion for each other. Before Eros could kiss his bride, she collapsed to deep slumber in his arms. The first and last kiss he ever laid on her forehead was a heart wrenching one that moved clouds to tears, stopped birds from singing and darkened the sky. At the peak of his heart ache, he glared at his mother, Aphrodite, resentfully for her lies, schemes and jealousy. "The moment you decided to hurt her, you should have expected losing me as your son." Eros eyes laid on his wife whose body withered to ashes and flowed to the underworld. "Let her live and I'll be her replacement." Once again, he watched her soul reach safety to the Oracle's hands. Aphrodite stripped away his power and threw him to the dungeon of suffering and torment, expecting him to give up his stubbornness after a few days. His love for her only deepened and the desire for power heightened. Eventually, he became the Devil. Oracle: "Her soul has been sent to the reincarnation portal, but I can't say when it would be her turn." "I'll wait for that day to come." Eros sipped his wine in his chamber as he stayed away from heavens. Thousands of years later..... "Master! Master! The human world is very exciting! There are books about you and your late wife's love story there too! I wonder how humans learn about these stories." The teenage crow demon, Axle, flapped his wings excitedly as he chanted about his findings. "Oh? Then bring me that book as souvenir next time." Eros chuckled at his underling. ------------------- The crow disguised himself as a teenager and always wandered around in a bookstore. "Tsss.. paper cut!" The girl accidentally cut her finger when she flipped to the last page of the Greek mythology tales book at the counter. "Are you alright?" "Yes, but the book..." "It's fine. I'll still take it." The crow said as he didn't mind the drip of blood that stained the words, happy ending, on the last page of the book. --------------- The book burned to flames and was tossed to the floor for others to make a bonfire. "Ridiculous! Happy ending? Don't let me see that ever again!" Eros' rare anger filled voice echoed piercingly in other demon's ears. Crow: "Master! Look!" Eros' attention landed on the pile of ashes on the floor. With widened eyes, he approached the pile of ashes and picked up the unburned piece. "Happy ending.." Oracle: "Eros, she's back." -------------- - A certain high school - "Ugly trash! Leave!" Classmate voices echoed in the girl's ear as she found her gymnastic sneakers filled with pin tacks, gym uniform soaked in pungent scented liquid and scribbled curses all over her desk. Facing the insults five days a week, she had gotten used to it. Still, it hurt to see people duding by her appearance. As tears clouded over her face, the mixture of cosmetics melted. "Here, wipe your tears. Don't let their words get to you." The popular classmate smiled and handed her a pack of tissues, instantly winning her heart as nobody had shown her an inch of respect in school. Rinsing her cosmetic filled face at home, the water dyed grey along with other colors. "I found you, my prince." Too bad, the prince was just a jerk who wanted to gain popularity. Luckily, she realized it early. ------------------ One night, she saved a kitten from getting run over by a car. The driver stepped out and asked if she was alright. Seeing how the man was wrapped up from head to toe, she handed the kitten to him. "I'm fine. Here, take the kitten to the hospital." "Miss, I think you need the hospital more than the kitten." His voice sounded magnetic to her ears. "I'm really fine. Bye." Her gorgeous smile greeted the man warmly. "Interesting. She didn't scam me." Eros stared at the direction where she had ran away.

Poop Colored Slipper

- Primrose's home

"No, she likes this one!" Jayden Smith's voice could be heard from the balcony.

"Pfft, who sees her more? Me or you? Big brother, Primmy likes this one more!" Collen Smith was the one refuting Jayden's choice.

Primrose could see two dark figures in the living room area, probably arguing over something minor again. The sheer curtains fluttered before her. It didn't take long before she snuck back into the condo as if she was always there.

"Jayden! Collen! You're back!" She cheerfully welcomed them.

"Primmy!" Both of them sounded surprised. They thought she was so tired from work that she had fallen asleep when they returned to a quiet home.

"Yes?" At this time, Primrose was not aware that she was missing her left slipper. The reason was simple - she was wearing someone else's slipper!

"Primmy, see, your second brother is a bit slow. He says you will prefer the baby blue petals on the cake! Of course not, right?! You will prefer pink petals!" Jayden quickly walked to her side, showing her the icing in his hands.

For her birthday, the two brothers purposely finished their work and cleared out their schedule to celebrate with her. Since her parents would miss her birthday this year, they could not let her celebrate it alone.

"Oh! So that was what you two were talking about. I could hear you guys from the balcony. I was stargazing for a while." She obviously could not tell them she had trespassed on someone's property after mistaking the person for animal abuse.

"So, which color do you want on your cake?" Collen tapped his watch to remind her of the approaching time.

"Hehe. You two! One is a manager in the entertainment industry, and the other is a famous lawyer who had never lost in a lawsuit. If your fans ever see how you two are behind the scenes, they would be shocked." Primrose couldn't help but tease her brothers.

Jayden elevated his glasses with all seriousness written on his face. "Nonsense. I am only taking your regular routines and favorites into consideration. Obviously, you would prefer pink over blue."

"Will not! Look at how beautiful this baby blue looks." Collen looked at Primrose, waiting for her to make a decision.

"Hmm. Indeed, you're both right! How about half baby blue and half pink? It'll be perfect, wouldn't it? I like both colors, after all." Primrose took both icings from their hands and shook them in front of them.

"Sure. As long as Primmy likes it." Jayden agreed almost immediately.

"Primmy." Collen called out her name.

"Hmm?" Her eyelashes fanned at her second brother.

"Why are you wearing mismatched slippers?" It was then that Primrose looked down at her slippers. On the left was a poop brown colored slipper that was not to her liking. On the right, she wore her regular cute pink slipper with a carrot pattern.

She prayed in her mind that her slipper was still in her condo. However, she knew the possibility was low because nobody had this poop-colored slipper in her household. To avoid suspicion, she appeared calm, as if she did not understand his question.

"I've always had this slipper." She lied on the spot.

"I thought you didn't like this color after you stepped on a pile of dog diarrhea a while ago..." Jayden remembered how her favorite pair of shoes were rinsed and dry cleaned that time.

"Well, that was the past." She lied again.

Compared to telling them she jumped to her neighbor's condo while they were gone, admitting to liking this poop-colored slipper was nothing. Her overprotective brothers would lecture her for hours if she told them what she had done.

"But this slipper isn't your size." Jayden saw the difference between the two slippers she was wearing.

"It's also not the right side. They're both the same right slippers." Collen also pointed out.

Primrose glanced at the two slippers and gulped when she realized what she had done. 'Gosh! I must be an idiot to wear both right sides back home and not realize I took his slipper!"

Ding Dong

At this moment, everyone raised their head and looked towards the door.

A lopsided smile crooked on her face. She secretly crossed her fingers and prayed that immortals existed to please bless her. 'Please don't be Eros....'

"Who could it be?" Jayden wondered. The sound of his slippers smacking the hard floor could be heard, distancing from the living room.

"Maybe it is the pizza delivery. Since when did they have such fast service?" Collen remembered he had ordered pizza around ten minutes ago.

"Hah....Pi...Pizza?" Thinking of the possibility of it being the delivery, her pounding heart found a safe corner to dribble slower than before.

"Hello..." The door cracked open. Behind the door stood a young man who looked like he was in his twenties, holding a familiar object in his hand.

"Hi! Are you here to deliver our pizza?!" Collen rushed over with a few bills to tip the delivery man. When he noticed Eros's exquisite features, he stopped breathing for a second. After a minute of holding his breath, he exaggeratedly patted his chest as if he had encountered a great scare.

"Sir, would you like to join our company instead of delivering pizza? I can promise you the best resources and a high pay rate, at least a hundred times more than what you earn for delivering pizza." Collen's professionalism kicked in. He took out his business card and slipped it onto the cash he had prepared for the delivery man to Eros.

His eyes glimmered as if he had discovered a gem!

'Pizza?' This unfamiliar word repeated in Eros's mind.

Pizza, guys. Pizza.
