The room was quickly filling up with bodies. Kore felt embarrassed by how little she interacted outside of her normal sphere. Each god entering after her was a strange face, a pair of gods with palpable tension sat near the Morrigan and Korea Immediately felt bad for the goddess. Then came a face that brightened the spring goddess up,[color=F4BBFF] “Good morning, Ms. Parvati!” [/color] an enthusiastic wave echoed the warmth she exuded from her smile. The sleepy baritones of one of her dearest friends pulled her gaze away and she was quickly latching on to him. 

[color=F4BBFF][b]“Hi Hypie”[/b][/color] she cooed nuzzling her cheek against his shoulder, [color=F4BBFF][b]“I missed youuu~”[/b][/color] She pulled back only slightly to check the image on his phone, the effect of his aura turning her bright smile into a cute sleepy grin, [color=F4BBFF][b] “Oh my gosh, they’re so precious! They look so happy and healthy, seee I told you! You have a green thumb, now what do you think about getting a hanging plant? I have the sweetest boy for sale that needs a good home and… I’ll give you a discount.”[/b][/color] Kore caught herself in her rambling a slight hue tinting her cheeks as she clasped her hands around his. 


Having another plant to care for outside of his poppies had Hypnos biting his lip, but the look on Kore’s face could break steel. Sliding his phone off, he let a hand rest against the table before he leaned forward again. His eyes looked up in contemplation, then fell back to Kore. [color=D8AFEB]”I… I dunno, Kore,”[/color] he admitted, [color=D8AFEB]”Well… well, maybe I could try it out. But! If it looks anywhere near distress you take it, okay? I’d be crushed if I killed one of your babies.”[/color]

Hypnos turned a look up at Kore while squeezing her hand. His lips pressed into a pout and his always hooded eyes lifted just slightly. A yawn took him as he spoke again, [color=D8AFEB]”And no discount. I wanna pay in full ‘cause you’re my friend.”[/color]

Kore pursed her lips for a moment, pretending to contemplate his counteroffer but eventually, it crumbled away into an eager nod of her head, [color=F4BBFF][b] “Yeah, of course! The string of Pearls is really hard to kill like you’d have to [i]try[/i] and you almost cried when you killed that spider on accident last week in my bathroom.”[/b][/color] Kore teased playfully toward Hypnos’ growing pout and let her eyes linger around the room, which had gotten noticeably fuller since she had arrived. A wave caught her eye and a twinkle of affection appeared in her honey brown pools as she returned Artemis’ greeting with the same enthusiasm she afforded Parvati earlier.

[color=F4BBFF][b] “People are actually getting here one time…”[/b][/color] The empty seat beside her caught a glance before it bounced to the door as another person entered, not who she wanted to see but the offer of pastries only made her sit back in her chair with a cute pout, [color=F4BBFF][b] “Well [i]some[/i] people are anyways…”[/b][/color]

A frown caught Hypnos lips while his eyes followed Kore’s own. [color=D8AFEB]”Hey, spiders deserve to be mourned over,”[/color] he said, though his frown turned into a lazy grin at Kore’s exasperation, [color=D8AFEB]”Do you want a danish or are you pouting for another reason, Sweet Kor-n?”[/color] He gave a light poke to her side.

[color=F4BBFF][b] “I’m not pout-“[/b][/color][color=D8AFEB]”You need a nap? Maybe to pass the time quicker for a certain someone?”[/color] Hypnos teased, though he took a quick look around in slight fear of another certain, more moody someone.

[color=7BCDC8] “Hey Kor Kor! Hey Hippo!”[/color]

Kore’s planned grumbling at Hypnos’ teasing turned into a surprised squeak as she jumped at the sudden greeting, [color=F4BBFF][b] “Oh lillies--Hermes!”[/b][/color] her voice was a playful whine as she swatted a light hand at his shoulder, that slid easily along his biceps and lingered on his forearm not yet pulling away, [color=F4BBFF][b] “I thought you were going to be late again, but instead here you are scaring me half to death!”[/b][/color] the whining was lightened by the cheeky grin she offered him. 

At the mention of gummy worms, she raised an eyebrow, [color=F4BBFF][b] “Hmm... I suppose this can go towards your pardon…”[/b][/color] Kore leaned close to him, and then even closer, but instead of the kiss it looked like she was going for she slipped a sour gummy between her plump lips and sat back happily savoring the candy,[color=F4BBFF][b] “Mm I actually quite enjoy these! How was the party last night?”[/b][/color]

All the while Hypnos quietly slid a few gummies into his own hand. He stared at the two for a second, head still laid upon the table. He’d nearly choked on the gummy he slid into his mouth at Kore’s tease and promptly turned to cough away. [color=D8AFEB]”Y-yeah, Herm, how was that party?”[/color] he looked back, eyes slightly teary.

The gaze of the trickster god had been darting across Kore's delicate features, a small, barely perceptible frown pulling at the edges of his lips when she moved her body away from his own. [color=7bcdc8]“Mm, the what?”[/color] Distracted by thoughts of gummy worms and lips, Hermes was slow to acknowledge the question posed to him. [color=7bcdc8]“Oh, it was great! Well, what I can remember of it. You guys should be super jealous though...[i]I[/i] got an up-close showing of Hercs bare ass this morning.”[/color] 

Laughing at the memory, he mimicked Kores actions from earlier, moving to lessen the gap between them. Perhaps he should be more aware of the others but his attention was easily diverted, barely noticing when a certain underdressed someone stole several of his gummies. [color=7bcdc8]“Would’ve been more fun if you’d been there though.”[/color] A mischievous smile lit up his face, whilst a hand reached up to playfully poke her nose. 

Kore’s nose wrinkled at Hermes’ touch and she was able to imagine a million and one circumstances that had Herc baring his glutes (fortunately not one that put his extra appendage near foul waters). [color=F4BBFF][b] “Yeah, yeah, I bet you say that to [i]all[/i] the ladies in your life.”[/b][/color] Kore teased her voice not reflecting the spark of envy that flashed in her. Her wandering gaze did little to hide what was currently on her mind as her sparkling eyes kept stealing glances at his softly parted lips.

[color=7bcdc8]”Only the ones I really like.”[/color] Hermes quipped back, before momentarily managing to tear his gaze away from hers. [color=7bcdc8]“You too sleeping beauty.”[/color] He shifted his body slightly so he could see the primordial god as he spoke, offering him a small wink. Hermes knew full well that Hypnos tried to avoid their shenanigans but that didn’t mean he wasn’t going to try to persuade him otherwise.

[color=D8AFEB]”You know these gummy worms are REALLY tasty, huh?”[/color] Hypnos could not be blamed for anything that occurred between the two, but he sure as hell knew Demeter would still have his ass for it. And therefore the sleepy god ignored Hermes’ coy wink and proceeded to grab his chair by the bottom and insert himself between the two. He yawned loud, mouth gaping as he planted himself in the middle, half of his body already splayed against the table.

[color=D8AFEB]”So, like, what would you two say to a… nap?”[/color] he gave a lazy smile to both Kore and then Hermes when he asked.

[color=F4BBFF][b] “Hypnos, The Morrigan is going to be extra mean to you since you messed up her seating chart.”[/b][/color] Kore grumbled a frown tugging at the corners of her lips. Even though she issued the “threat” she knew it would fall flat and instead resorted to declaring, [color=F4BBFF][b] “A danish sounds better than a nap”[/b][/color] and stood up to go snag one.

[color=D8AFEB]”Nothing’s better than a good nap,”[/color] Hypnos pouted back.

[color=7bcdc8]“Dude…”[/color] It was Hermes’ turn to pout as he reached to move the bag of gummy worms away from his friend, his eyes widening in the infamous look that [I]usually[/I] got him his way. [color=7bcdc8]“I don’t wanna sleep. I’m not tired.”[/color] He stubbornly retorted as he watched Kore stand up, his blue eyes lingering on her form whilst she walked away. 

Having a complete inability to sulk for longer than a few seconds, a broad smile suddenly spread across his face. It was one that was usually accompanied by either a dangerously stupid or a stupidly dangerous idea. [color=7bcdc8]“You look so comfy there Hyp…”[/color] Standing up, he edged over to Hypnos, before planting himself firmly in his lap. [color=7bcdc8]“Let’s share!”[/color] He shifted about a little until he was comfy, happily smiling down at his new chair companion. 

While the implication of someone sitting on his lap unnerved Hypnos at first, a sleepy smirk replaced his pout near instantly. [color=D8AFEB]”I’ve been told that many times, Hermy Worm,”[/color] Hypnos replied, wrapping his arms around the trickster god’s midriff. He placed his head against Hermes’ side and stared up at him. [color=D8AFEB]”So, what was your plan again?”[/color] Hypnos yawned, letting his own powers take hold of himself, [color=D8AFEB]”Still don’t wanna nap with me?”[/color] he wiggled in his seat, squirming and pressing closer to Hermes, [color=D8AFEB]”Just a few minutes, pleeeease?”[/color] Perhaps Hypnos’ softness beguiled a more sinister nature? Though, if Hypnos thought long and hard he’d just conclude that he really liked his sleep and saving his own ass from potentially raging parents and long lost spouses.

Their bodies being so close, Hermes couldn’t help but cup his hand to his mouth to stifle a yawn, his eyelids beginning to droop sleepily. The warmth coming off his fellow god was comforting, like being wrapped in a duvet at the end of a busy day. He found himself snuggling closer to his chest, for a moment wanting to let it take him. Maybe just a minute or two would be okay... [color=7bcdc8]“You’re such a naughty hippopotamus…”[/color] He mumbled almost imperceptibly, his body ready to collapse into sleep. 

Hypnos wiggled his eyebrow for the coup de grace, [color=D8AFEB]”Would you really say no to a nap ‘n cuddle with me and Kore? Hmmm?”[/color]

[color=7bcdc8]“With Kor Kor? Maybe just for a little bit then…”[/color] About to give in, his attention was suddenly diverted by the presence of a very familiar figure walking through the doors. Tlaz’s appearance revealed all and Hermes couldn’t help but let out a small, sleepy giggle. Bringing two fingers to his mouth, he attempted (and only half succeeded) to do a wolf-whistle, the playful giddiness for a moment breaking through the drowsiness. [color=7bcdc8]“Looking goo-…”[/color] Mid-tease, Hermes suddenly fell dead asleep, unable to resist the pull any longer. His head flopped to rest against Hyps shoulder, his sentiments towards his friend having to be saved for another moment. 

[color=F4BBFF][b] “Guys these danishes are so del- heeey~!”[/b][/color] Kore returned to a sight that immediately melted her soul and before Hermes woke up or Hypnos caught on to what she was doing she brandished her phone and stole a couple of pictures. Hermes and Hypnos all cuddled up was obviously top tier in the “home screen pic” game… [i]maybe she could sell the pictures to the shippers?[/i]

[color=F4BBFF][b] “Hypie how can I be mad at you when you’re so dang cute?”[/b][/color] Kore stuck her tongue out playfully and ruffled his hair with affection. The short touch drew a small yawn out of her as she slipped down onto the seat and leaned forward with her head resting on her arms on the table, [color=F4BBFF][b] “I’m sorry I said danishes are better than naps… that danish was [i]really[/i] yummy but naps are better, especially naps with my favorites flowers, little poppy prince and the dashing daisy…”[/b][/color] Kore’s voice trailed off into a quiet mumble as her eyes fluttered shut and she fell into a field of flowers.[/color][/indent][/indent][/indent]
