(...ok ready for me to go full greek mythology professor on you?)
"..."
(Ok so. The ancient Greeks had three-seven different terms for love depending on who you ask. Typically we focus on three since they're the most referenced in Greek texts. In the simplest of terms, there's Agape, which is love for family and friends, Philia, which is brotherly love, and Eros. Now Eros was largely considered by the Greeks to be the most dangerous kind of love. Similiarly to how Western culture views lust or infatuation, Eros was considered to be an intense passion between two people, bordering on mania. This is the type of thing that Western Culture romanticizes, sort of like Star-Crossed lovers, disney level type shit. But the Greeks considered it SUPER dangerous because it could lead you to doing often dangerous things for your loved one. So dangerous in fact, that they made a god for it! Aaand we'll get to him because he is FUN.)
He grabbed Shinsou's face and kissed him.
(... Huh, I was expecting a much more of a mouthful-, that actually was-, well thank you for telling me! And of course they would, I mean It's Zeus were talking about, he literally trades his sons away, (well, mostly ignores but you know what i mean.))
I'm pretty sure you can guess he wasn't expecting that, after all his eyes were as wide as dinnerplates. He didn't really kiss back however, obviously from a bit of shock, but he did place his hands over top denkis, trears in HIS eyes now-
(No I'm trying to be concise and break this into parts lol. And actually, we're gonna touch on Zues a bit in this! So, Eros has three different characterizations to him. There's the aspect of him that is the son of Aphrodite, the aspect of him that is actually super, super scary-an ancient and all-powerful god, capable of bending all the other gods to his will-aaaaand Cupid. We don't talk about Cupid. Scholars typically focus on the first two, since they're typically combined in greek mythology. Now let's talk about that super scary ancient god stuff. Eros is, well, the god of Eros. Aphrodite is the goddess of love, but Eros is the one who causes that intense, manic passion we just talked about. And because of that, he's basically capable of jerking the other gods around like puppets. So if you're ever wondering about Zues, yeahhhhhh, Eros has full dominion over that jackass. And actually, there's a really, really funny painting from I believe the Rennaissance that showcases Eros LITERALLY pulling Zues around by his d!ck. Rennaissance painters had a pretty fun sense of humor.)
Kaminari pulled away, sparking like crazy. There was a tiny crackle of electricity between their lips as he drew back. His cheeks were bright pink, and he looked away, playing with his hair
"H-Heh...s-sorry, I-I might've gotten a bit carried away-"
(Tell me your joking, TELL me your joking! XD, and oh god there it is, i take back what i said-)
"..."
Mmm, Denki, I think you've might have caused his heart to start burning with love. TwT, when i say that, IIIII mean he 'jumped' up, and pratically tackled hugged denki, his face burying into his neck as he just-, hugged him.
(:> So, typically falling for someone in ancient greek texts is described as being 'struck by Eros.', and this is because the greeks believed that Eros LITERALLY STRUCK YOU. WITH MAGIC ARROWS. Honestly, kinda badass I aint gonna lie. Also he's typically portrayed as a super-hot blonde dude with wings. Is this starting to sound like anyone we know yet?)
"HF-"
His heart was beating out of his chest, face practically burning as he hugged Shinsou back, practically clinging to him.
