❝Back against the waves of Styx
Life once more breaths upon hollow cheeks
But nothing truly gained
For all has been lost in tide.
Forbidden is the yearning
between ambrosia and lilac❞

Niall frowned as he looked up at his lover. Why was he being so distant? He remembered clearly the image of his lover holding his dead body, crying over him and wishing he'd come back like it was yesterday. Thanatos had come to the Underworld to save him from his fate. Why was he saying that he wasn't Thanatos? There was no reason for him to hide anymore. He accepted him for who he was. Had wanted him to kiss him. He'd do it all over again if he could. Thanatos had nothing to fear in him. He extended his hand weakly towards the man and offered a small smile. He was alive again. Keisuke could come back to him and hold him. They would be okay now. They'd go somewhere and sequester themselves away and everything would just... be fine. He wanted it to be fine. He didn't want any more sadness.
"You don't have to lie to me Keisuke. I know who you are. I saw you," he smiled softly. "You are beautiful in your full glory to. You came back for me... I remember all of that. I don't hate you," he answered. He tried to get up then but he ended up falling back. He was too tired and his body still needed to heal before he started moving away. His baby girl was already warming him up nicely. She cooed at him affectionately and nipped at his ear to make him smile and remind him that he was her boy. Niall ran his finger through her plumage gingerly and closed his good eye to try and rest it. At least he was used to not seeing with his other eye so not having it didn't affect his day to day life too much.
"We... we should go somewhere. Somewhere else. Somewhere quiet and just for the three of us. Then no one can bother us," he mused. "Yeah... that's what we should do..." he curled up tighter and earned a squawk from the phoenix when he hugged her too tightly. He buried his face against her and started to drift back to sleep. When he woke up next, he would be energized and everything should be working in proper order again. "Keisuke..." he murmured. He wanted the man to hug him like he had when he slipped away to the Underworld. Keisuke was very far away from him now and he didn't like that little fact. Why was he so far away anyway? What happened when Keisuke got to the Underworld? He remembered seeing him and then... everything went black. Ah well. He'd ask him what happened when he woke up.
