[Ah. He really should have known. When marrying a Goddess of Spring, one should always expect a veritable force of nature. The moment he had given her an opening, he should have known she'd return.

Hades turns, his gaze moving to the door frame. He takes in the sight of her, before one of his brows raises in response.

I did not. They are where you left them.

['Purposefully,' he thinks, though it's not in his interest to say so.]

[It's a rare occasion he actually has to look up at her. He does so with careful consideration, before he leans back in his chair.

He's not terrible busy, truth be told, but she's not getting off that easily. (Regardless of how secretly pleased he may be by her presence.)
]

Unlikely.

[A beat passes as he considers further.]

Unless something urgent were to come up.

Would you?

[Her almost smile is met with an even stare. His face betrays no hint of either amusement or annoyance.]

And why would you say that?

[He'll freely takes her hand, as he only hums to her answer. It may be her intention to pull him up, but it's his to pull her down (as is his prerogative).]

What would I consider urgent?

[His thumb runs over her knuckles. Against any show of neutrality, the little tug he gives her hand is telling.]

Being on a deadline.

I know.

[He would say more than her, but the warmth of her hand against his cold skin offers a stark enough contrast; a reminder of what she may have given up. The ire of Zeus (and her mother) is another matter entirely.]

There are rules.

[He tugs her hand again.]

I noticed.

[Her closeness thaws some of his resolve, and he allows himself to card his fingers through her hair.]

You wasted no time coming down here.

And then your setup would have gone to waste.

[She'll get a sideways, knowing glace. (He wasn't born yesterday.)]

How tragic that would have been.

[His hand stops somewhere in the vicinity of her jaw, cupping against her cheek.]

You shouldn't have come.

[From a practical standpoint, neither of them can argue that, really. As antiquated as their arrangement may be, it didn't come without consequence.

From a personal standpoint, however, things were much more complicated.
]

...but I am glad to see you.

[That small sentiment is punctuated by his lips pressed to her temple.]

I can tell.

[One way or another, she's always been expressive with her feelings. Even without the flowers.

Her quick brush of lips is met with the ghost of a smile, the corners of his lips beginning to curl.
]

How long were you planning to...break the rules?

[Without much thought, his hand finds its way back curled into her hair.]

I've heard he's not very lenient.

It would seem that he does.

[He hums against her lips, before he meets her kisses with something a little rougher: teeth and tongue and an urgency he won't admit to, but definitely feels.

Regardless of what she wants, (she should know, he would give her the world if she asked for it), two days is likely pushing it. He'll waste no time.
