Characters: Poseidon and Medusa
Date/Time: Monday Night
Location: Medusa's apartment
Rating: TBD
Warnings: TBD
Summary: After a few days to cool, Poseidon makes a visit.
Poseidon had spent the last few days to himself. He'd hardly eaten, slept most of the day and not spoken a word to Chelsea. Mentally since corruption had left his head he'd mentally shut down. Anger like that took a lot of energy these days. He wasn't sailing the seas with a trident anymore, his mortal body still had limits---and this time it as used without his knowing.
He didn't feel the same omniance Chelsea had, he hadn't cared. Once corruption used his anger against him, Poseidon was only focused on what caused his anger. Since it left he'd needed time to collect himself again.
He hadn't meant to strike Medusa in the way he had.
When he knocked on her door tonight it wasn't forceful.

He stepped up toward the doorway. He wasn't going to ask her to let him in, but the pause in his step showed he was waiting for the invitation. He didn't like waiting.

Date: 2011-09-19 09:18 pm (UTC)She frowned when he didn't say anything. The bastard could at least give her a clue! A small voice in her head told her to slam the door in his face, lock it and call Apollo. Her heart said something entirely different.
Finally she huffed and whirled to walk away, but she left the door open.

Date: 2011-09-19 09:30 pm (UTC)Poseidon may have healed her wounds physically, but he could sense her wariness. He closed the door behind him, the latch clicking with a thud. For a moment there was that intense silence and nothing else, straining and clenching silence.
"You didn't work today," he stated. It was a simple gesture in saying he'd attempted to contact her there earlier.

Date: 2011-09-19 09:33 pm (UTC)"I almost got bit twice. I got sent home." She answered him flatly as she poured her drink making sure her hair obscured her face.

Date: 2011-09-19 10:08 pm (UTC)He reached out to pull her hair from her face, a much gentler touch than she was used to, nothing like the abrasive shark he'd been Saturday night. While her heartbeat continued to beat wildly, he could feel it in her pulse, his was steady.
"Mind somewhere else?" he asked in a hum, not taunting, not teasing.

Date: 2011-09-19 10:12 pm (UTC)His question confused her though, forcing her to speak when she really didn't want to. "I d-don't understand."

Date: 2011-09-19 10:30 pm (UTC)"You gave your loyalty to me," he said in a voice that was almost far more human than usual. It wasn't demanding or short, it was stating the seriousness of that. He didn't want her at the hands of some other god, she was his. "Did you understand the seriousness in that?" He brushed a strand of hair back from over her eyes. "What that meant for me?"
He had been hurt in the same way Chelsea had told her. He may not be a man that many felt could even carry such emotions, but the years of raising a kid opened him up a little more.

Date: 2011-09-19 10:34 pm (UTC)"Yes." Her voice was a barely heard whisper, filled her everything she was feeling. Fear. Regret. Love. "I don-..I don't know what happened. I said I was sorry but you.."

Date: 2011-09-19 10:37 pm (UTC)"I what?" He was a jealous prick, when his things were touched he wanted them back or the threw them away. He didn't want to throw this one away this time. Or break it.

Date: 2011-09-19 10:51 pm (UTC)His hand traced her cheek, the cheek that left no mark of what he'd done. He wasn't going to apologize, not in the way she wanted, he was too prideful for that.
"I didn't intend to," he said honestly.

Date: 2011-09-19 11:10 pm (UTC)"What am I supposed to do?" She shook her head just slightly as those tears spilled free. "I'm afraid of you now. Just like everyone else."
no subject
Date: 2011-09-19 11:23 pm (UTC)"Why'd you sleep with him?" his question was in a voice like a hurt little boy. The revelation stung when she'd stood right here before and declared that Apollo was nothing to her.
His hand dropped when she spoke of her her fear, the same fear he could feel tremor beneath her skin. He shook his head. "Then be afraid," he never let go of things that he wanted, but Poseidon was used to only one woman ever truly loving him. Was he willing to give that up?
"I know what I'm capable of. Chelsea was there, I would never show her that." It was the only thing that indicated he was under something else. Something darker, something even bigger than himself.

Date: 2011-09-19 11:32 pm (UTC)"I don't know. He was all I could think about that day and when he suddenly showed up..." she shook her head leaving the rest unsaid.
"I don't want to be afraid of you."
