Hades was filled with happiness when she said they had a few hours, but the sudden realization that it was, after all, only a few hours had him depressed. It was all cleared when she seduced him yet again, an action he had always loved and never rejected. Each time they made love, it was like their first; primal,passionate and perfect. He gave her his all, knowing she would be gone yet again in a few hours.

Hades looked at his beloved when they finished making love. She looked content, yet afraid of something, something he did not know. Soon he did, when she spoke. 

She spoke of speaking to her mother, about staying in the underworld for good. Both of them knew the answer to that, and it was obvious with her next words. Persephone had a plan.

"My love, you know our current arrangement was Zeus's decree. Should you take another seed, Demeter will only appeal to Zeus; it would not change anything. But I know my brother, and he will side by us both. He knows we have spent years away from each other, and will surely decree that it is enough. He will allow it. But what of your mother?" Hades said. He held her closer against him, wanting to remember her warmth for the months to come. 

He feared for him and his wife. He did not fear Demeter, no. He feared what she would do. His days alone was spent planning, and plotting, thinking of ways just like Persephone had, but all of those instances from his ideas, all of those always end up with a wildcard. Demeter's actions. Every god and immortal knew Demeter would be willing to take drastic actions for her will to be heard. He feared she will hurt Persephone even more, not just from separating her from him. 

Her smile, her reassuring smile got Hades weak. She did not know what her actions would bring. Neither did he, but he knew what the possibilities are. He has thought of them every day for months. The possibilities were dire. Yet he could not reject her. He could not bring himself to let her down. Her eagerness, her desire to come back to him, it was too beautiful to destroy. 

"Do it, my love. Do it for us." Hades said. He had a million more words to say, but he knew, he knew his tears would fall should he say one more.
