He watched as his boyfriend scrubbed his face with his free hand, emotions clearly eating him up from inside as they were him. His expression quickly going from concerned, to sad, surprised, and then back round to concern as Zeke pulled him into a tight hug. Demetri could feel the soft golden hair rustling against his neck as his boyfriend buried his face into his neck before settling in. He held Zeke there for a moment before slowly moving his hand up and down his back to try and give him some solace. [Color=6666FF]"You're not wrong."[/color] he paused, feeling his voice vibrating in his chest against Zeke's. [Color=6666FF]"The gods do see fit to want to control us, and they always will. [I]However[/i]"[/color] Demi pulled back a bit, looking into Zeke's eyes as he tilted his chin up with a free hand. 

[Color=6666FF]"Just because they can try to control me, doesn't mean that I'm not fully yours. Yes, I'm now [i]unfortunately[/i] betrothed, but that doesn't change us or who we are, what we are. The gods can't say shit about it either. Alexios is born of Aphrodite and Ares even though she's wed to Hephaestus, I'm a child of Zeus regardless of the fact that he's married to Hera the [i]Goddess of Marriage[/i]. So they can say all they want about this betrothal but they can't really force me to be loyal. I'm [i]yours[/i] fully and utterly yours."[/color] Demi went in part way for a kiss, stopping just before Zeke's lips before pulling back. He didn't want to force one on him, he didn't know if Zeke even wanted to get one right now. So instead he was content just giving him a dopey dimpled  smile while taking in the face of his boyfriend.

There was a brief moment, where Alexios eyed the pair as Cassian stood there with his hand extended and waiting. Normally he'd have pulled it away already, deciding the other clearly didn't wish to reciprocate the action. But it was clear to him as he watched Alexios, that there was something else going on. It was subtle, as it usually tended to be, but those few moments of quiet allowed for Cassian to study. Sure the expression of annoyance was plain to see, written across the gods face as if he wanted the world to know, but it was the little details that stuck out to him. The way his jaw was clenched, the small arch across the brow, his posture, and most importantly his eyes. This went beyond annoyance, this look was one he'd seen before, hatred. All of that directed right at Zeke, and behind them was a softness. One only seen when his eyes wavered towards Demetri.

If he was anyone else but a god, he'd say he was jealous of the pair. Not because they were together, but because he wasn't with the one he'd wished. It was as if Alexios' two sides were active at the same time, war and love both fighting to show themselves. In a way he reminded him of Janelles, though in regards to Demetri instead of Zeke. Cassian's thoughts were interrupted once Alexios responded to him, shaking his hand before continuing forward once more. He followed by his side in lockstep, as he continued his conversation. [Color=CC00CC]"God of Parties huh? Should my dad be worried you're coming for his title?"[/color] he joked clearly. [Color=CC00CC]"Son of Dionysus, a god often mistaken, or enraptured, with parties. Though it's sure one hell of a way to explain ritual madness but it is what it is."[/color] Cassian shrugged. A part of him wanted to apologize again for Zeke's behavior, he wanted to mend that bridge quickly before it affected the quest, but he worried Alexios would see it as meddling and turn his ire on him instead.
