"Hmmph. Always surrounded by those filthy goddesses. Why doesn't he turn them away already." Folding her arms, Virgi grumbled as she helplessly watched Partheno being bombarded by the goddesses whom held a longing in their eyes.
A pleasent smile graced his lips as Partheno admired all the goddesses around him. It only made Virgi's blood boil.
Though the goddesses had him surrounded, Partheno made sure they all kept their distance, not allowing anyone to touch him. However, the goddesses were getting a bit too excited and one suddenly reached out for him, that was when Virgi snapped.
"Don't you dare touch him!" Her voice was like booming thunder, a deathly glare present on her face as she stared at the goddesses. "Ahhh." All the goddesses stopped in their tracks and turned towards her, they seemed to finally remember she was still there.
"Oh dear. It looks like she is about to blow." One goddess spoke and they all started to murmur about her but it only made Virgi worse.
"Shut up! Get away from him this instant!" She screamed and started to stomp up to the group. Slowly the goddesses started to back away as Virgi looked like a rampaging monster.
"You sure showed them." Partheno chuckled as he watched the goddesses high tail it out of there. Virgi was still glaring at them as they went before turning her attention to him, "Why didn't you tell them to go?" Her voice filled with irritation.
Partheno turned to her, an amused smile on his face, "They weren't causing any harm. I can't turn them away when they only want to admire my beauty." At that moment he sounded really conceited.
Partheno didn't seem to see anything wrong with the goddesses paying him attention, Virgi on the other hand was seething with jealously that he would allow such filth to be near him.
Virgi closed her eyes, looking rather Indifferent, "Fine then. It seems like you don't need me." Virgi's voice was low and harsh, "I'm sure those goddesses are more than enough for you. Hmmph." She turned her back to him leaving Partheno completely bewildered from her reaction.
"What are you talking about? Of course I need you. No one could ever replace you." Partheno's casual was of replying only made it worse. The lack of feeling in his tone made her even more galled. He seemed to lack the true meaning of what he's done and just how she felt.
"You say that now but you continue to let the goddesses surround you and even worse you seem to enjoy it." Virgi responded in a low growl as her temper increased.
"It's not that i enjoy it, I just can't hurt them by cruely turning them away." Partheno retorted but it only hurt her further. He really didn't understand anything.
"But you rather hurt me!" Virgi snapped. With teary eyes she turned around to look him straight in the eyes before biting her lip and turning away. Partheno had tried to speak but Virgi wasn't going to listen to it as she mournfully shook her head and bolted from the spot.
"Virgi!" Partheno called out to her as he watched her go but she didn't stop, no, she kept on going all the way until she reached the palace and was out of his view.
Finally coming to a stop, Virgi bent over breathing heavily, "Hah." She took time to catch her breath before looking around and realizing she was now standing in front of the palace. They had only just entered the heavens when the goddesses immediately jumped him. It was supposed to be a day spent between just the two of them but the goddesses were always hell bent on disturbing them.
'That's not what frustrates me... It's that he doesn't push them away and tell them he's busy...' Virgi sighed, shaking her head.
Not wanting to return to Partheno just yet, Virgi decided to explore the depths of the palace. She wanted to cool her head before seeing him otherwise she might explode all over again.
The intricatecy of the palace never ceased to amaze her, it truly was something you would only see in the heavens. It was so masterfully built, it in itself was a vision of beauty.
There was not a soul to be seen as she wandered through the halls, Virgi expected to see the scary Zyglavis scouring around at some point but there was nothing but silence, "How odd." She was curious as to what was going on but thought maybe everyone was busy and left it at that.
It was until some time passed that Virgi finally was met by someone else. She heard someone calling out to her from behind. Virgi froze on the spot, excepting the worst, 'Oh no. Did Zyglavis see me?!' Slightly trembling, she turned around and saw someone other than Zyglavis. Relief immediately washed over as she saw nome other than Tauxolouve gracefully making his way towards her.
"My oh my, what is a lovely angel like yourself doing here?" Tauxolouve, now standing before her, asked. He searched the surroundings perhaps seeing if Partheno was around, "Hmm, is he not here?"
"I'm here alone." Virgi replied in an Indifferent tone. Tauxolouve immediately picked up something was wrong, "Did something happen between you two?" He smiled, rubbing his chin as he took a closer look at her.
"Does it matter? I just need some time alone." Virgi huffed, looking rather Indignant as she thought about Partheno with the goddesses earlier.
Tauxolouve straightend up with a knowing smile, slightly nodding, "Hmm, I see. ...Shall we make him jealous? Perhaps it will make you feel better." Tauxolouve grinned in a carefree manner.
Virgi was completely taken by surprise from his words. Making him 'jealous?' It was a very tempting offer but she didn't know if it was the right thing to do. But the more she thought about how he was with the goddesses it only spurred her on.
"Can we do that...?" She asked with curiosity and Tauxolouve's grin grew wider. He leaned down, his smile turning to one of mischief, "Of course." A equally mischief grin spread across her own lips, "Let's do it."
Operation make Partheno jealous was now underway. Together they left the palace until they saw Partheno not too far in the distance, he was once again surrounded by goddesses but there was something different about him. He no longer had that smile he usually wore when confronted by them, it was something else, he almost looked like he was uncomfortable and wanted to get away but they wouldn't let him.
"Are you ready?" Tauxolouve asked in a whisper and Virgi nodded, "Yes. Let's go." She was facing away as she replied, unable to take her eyes off of Partheno, she couldn't shake the feeling something was off.
Deciding It was best not to think of it at this point, Virgi allowed Tauxolouve to snake an arm around her waist and the pair began to walk in close proximity passed Partheno, seemingly enjoying a pleasant conversation along the way.
Virgi could hardly stay focused though as her eyes kept darting between Tauxolouve and Partheno.
'Has he noticed?' She thought.
Noticing her wondering eyes, Tauxolouve spoke, "Now now, you can't keep looking at him like that or you might give our little plan away."
Virgi turned towards him and at that moment he enveloped her in a tight embrace, she was so stunned that she didn't even know how to react. Tauxolouve, though, could see Partheno in the distance whom was now looking in their direction.
Partheno's eyes had grown wide from the scene. Tauxolouve smiled quietly to himself as his plan seemed to be working.
"Hey, could you let me go?" Virgi was rather Indignant at the fact he was holding her so close but he didn't want to let go.
Tauxolouve only tightened his hold, "Not yet my little angel."
Virgi started to squirm in his arms, she didn't want to be held by him, it was Partheno whom she loved.
"Please let me go." She begged him once more and could feel herself starting to get upset from being held in such a manner. Virgi only wanted to make Partheno jealous, she didn't want this to happen!
"Why must Partheno be the one to have your heart? Why couldn't I have stolen your pretty little heart?" Tauxolouve started to speak up in a rather melancholic tone.
"Huh." Virgi was puzzled to hear him speak in such a way. It then occured to her that maybe he had eyes for her to and this wasn't just an act but he was really making a move on her.
"Tauxolouve! Please let me go!" She exclaimed in a fit. Squirming more than before.
"I want you to be mine..." He sadly mumbled and at the same moment someone had grabbed his shoulder.
"Let her go!" Partheno stood defiantly besides him and practically ripped Virgi apart from his arms. "I won't let you have her!" Partheno pulled Virgi behind him and stood protectivly in front of her.
A cool breeze swooshed passed them ever so gently tussling their hair as the two gods stared each other down in a heated moment. Virgi could see a terrifying aura coming off in waves from the both of them.
"Calm down. Please!" Virgi pleaded but they both were so focused on the other they failed to hear.
"Can you really make her happy? You are so caught up with the goddesses that you fail to take note of how she feels." With furrowed brows Tauxolouve glared at Partheno.
"Don't act like you know me. I don't need you to tell me what I should and shouldn't do. I will make her happy! I am the only one who can make her happy!" Partheno growled in response, the two were practically at each others throats as they fought over her.
'What have I done...? I only wanted to show him how I felt... I didn't think Tauxolouve had feelings for me too.' Virgi grew more anxious by the second as she awaited for an all out fight to start between the two gods.
"You haven't done a very good job so far. I found her wandering the halls looking quite despondent. If you really cared she wouldn't have run away and this would never have happened." Tauxolouve coolly responded. It seemed to have hit a nerve as Partheno remained quiet for a moment.
Closing his eyes, Partheno's face scrunched up, as he now knew what he had done wrong, but nonetheless he wasn't going to give her up, not to anyone, "I understand I hurt her. I was trying to hard to please everyone and in the end I hurt the person dearest to me. I made a mistake... But still, I won't give her up. I will make her happy. I won't hurt her ever again!" Partheno declared, moving to take hold of her and wrapping and arm around her shoulders.
Holding her close, Partheno softly kissed her temple before shooting Tauxolouve another look, "I love her. No one could replace Virgi in my life. Try as much as you may, she will always be mine. Try and steal her from me and I won't go easy on you, even if you are from the department of wishes." Partheno spoke with resolve and determination, he wanted to show not just to Tauxolouve but to Virgi herself how much she meant to him.
"Hehehe." Tauxolouve suddenly started to laugh, his laugh only growing harder by the second. Partheno was shocked to see him laughing so suddenly, "What is so funny?"
Tauxolouve waved a hand in front of himself, "You really do love her. Don't worry, I won't steal her from you. Just promise me you won't hurt her again." Tauxolouve grinned but there was something different about it, almost like beneath that smile his hopes had just been crushed.
"Tauxolouve..." Virgi whispered in an undertone as she watched the rather despondent god turn around.
"I'll be going now. Have fun you pair of lovebirds." Tauxolouve threw a hand up in the air as he left them behind.
Virgi couldn't help but notice the difference in his tone, she didn't want to believe it but it really seemed he held feelings for her but she was unable to return those feelings. Virgi turned to Partheno whom was still watching Tauxolouve leave, she knew he was the only one for her.
Once out of sight, Partheno turned to Virgi and changed positions so he was now directly in front of her, "Virgi... I'm sorry. I should have known better than to hurt you." He sadly gazed downwards, feeling terrible at what he did. "It's okay." Partheno was surprised to hear her speak so tenderly now, total contrast to how she spoke to him earlier.
"You aren't mad?"
"No. I should be the one apologizing after I dragged Tauxolouve into my jealousy and causing this mess. I shouldn't have responded in such a way..." Virgi's shoulders slumped as she regretted what happened. But Partheno only started to chuckle.
"What?" Shocked to hear him laughing, Virgi's head shot up.
"You were jealous? ...So that's what I was feeling when I saw Tauxolouve embracing you. We were both pretty jealous, huh." Partheno chuckled some more and Virgi seeing him laughing couldn't help doing so herself.
However, the air soon turned serious as the smile vanished from his face, "You are a naughty little human for making me jealous on purpose. I think someone needs to be punished." A mischievous grin now spreading across his face. Virgi immediately jumped in response and tried to pull away but it was too late as he grabbed her by the waist and holding her against him.
Bringing his face to her ear he whispered, "I'll punish you all night long...in bed. Don't even think about getting away. I'll love you so hard you won't be able to walk by morning." Virgi gasped at his words and could only imagine the night that laid ahead of her. It would surely be wild as they both were filled with pent up jealousy and sexual frustration. Only one thing could cure their weary hearts... A passion filled night in bed.
