Summary: When couples break up, it gets ugly

Part one

Strife stood in the dark corner looking at Joxer and Ares,
((The happy couple�.)) Strife thought to himself rolling his eyes.
Strife was not a happy camper at the moment. Due to that fact that he
Hadn't had much luck in love now a day. His attempts at Cupid seemed
to fail
Every time. And now....now his uncle, Ares of all people, was after
his other
Love interest. Not only that, but Ares and Joxer had now, offically,
became lovers.
Strife followed the pair, never looking away from them, glaring in
resentment.
Strife thought to himself angrily.
((First I can't get Cupid, and then I can't get Joxer, what the fuck
is there left to do?)) Strife shook his
head toward the floor with a mixture of anger and sadness.
Strife continued looking at the cold temple floor pondering to
himself.
((Well I can't go to Cupid; I can't stand being around him if he
doesn't love me�.Who can I go to for help?)) Strife thought fighting
back tears.
Strife looked up through misty eyes and spied the pair embraced in a
tender, heart-warming kiss.
Strife scowled and vanished silently so as to not alert the pair of
his presence.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Cupid paced around the room as his mother sat silently in the corner
reading a scroll and scribbling down a word or two every minuet or so.
Cupid stopped, glanced at his mother, and began pacing again. Cupid
crossed the room before pausing yet again, glancing at his mother and
continuing to pace once more.
Cupid thought about the past events and just couldn't figure out why
Strife was so hostile these days.
Cupid had been hiding his feelings for Strife for quite some time
now; he just couldn't face the heart brake if his cousin said no, he
just thought there was no possible way that Strife could ever want
him.
Cupid began to worry after Strife disappeared in tears earlier that
week; he hadn't talked to him since.
Aphrodite looked up from her scroll and up at her son.
"Cupie, honey, is something wrong?" She asked scribbling one last
thing down on her scroll.

Cupid stopped pacing and starred at his mother.
"It's�" Cupid began, "Nevermind." Cupid sighed looking down.
The love goddess rolled her eyes.

"Fine." She sighed looking back down at her scroll.
There was a pause before Cupid leapt to his mother's side.

"Its Strife, I'm worried, he seems, well�depressed." Cupid gave a
concerned frown that his mother returned.
The love goddess shrugged,

"Maybe he's love sick," She guessed shrugging her shoulders and
tilting her head slightly.

"What do you mean?" Cupid asked squinting his eyes slightly.
Aphrodite waved her hand in the air lazily,

"Maybe he wants someone to love, I donno." She replied with an airy
tone.

"Oh�." Cupid said plainly getting to his feet.
Cupid stood for a moment in silence looking toward his mother.
Aphrodite starred back raising her eyebrows slightly.

"I'm going to look for him." Cupid announced, "Later." He finished
flashing out in a burst of gold light.
Aphrodite sighed to herself,

"The sooner he confesses his love to Strife, the better." The love
goddess chuckled going back to her scroll.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Ares looked deep into Joxer's eyes and Joxer looked back.

"What?" Joxer smiled broadly as a pink tinge came to his cheeks.
Ares shrugged and smiled back,

"You're just so beautiful�" Ares replied moving his hand softly
across Joxer's face before claiming his lips in a short soft kiss.
The pair looked at one another in awe intertwining their hands.

"Yah know, we have Cupid to thank, he convinced us to admit our
feelings to one another." Joxer smiled scooting closer to the god of
war.
Ares gave a tiny laugh,

"Only cause he thought you and Strife had a thing and wanted Strife
for himself!" Ares began to chuckle. Joxer joined his lover and
chuckled slightly.

"I've never seen this side of you Ares." Joxer admitted,

"You seemed so mean and cruel before, well, before I really knew
you." Joxer gave a nervous laugh. Ares laughed back.

"Well ya can't blame me, I'm in love�" Ares finished moving in
kissing Joxer softly and then slowly began to kiss him firmer. Ares
pulled away looking deep into the mortal's eyes,

"I love you Joxer." He smiled shyly at his lover.

"I love you too Ares."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Strife appeared in Aphrodite's chamber looking around for
something, anything to help him win in the game of love. Strife
darted his eyes around looking for the love goddess but there was no
sign of her to be found.
Feeling that he could snoop around freely now, without getting
caught, Strife began to open drawers shuffling through scrolls.
Strife grabbed what looked like a fairly new scroll and un-rolled is
slowly.
((Un-tested love spells�." Strife read to himself.
A wicked grin slowly spread across Strife face as he read down the
list.

"Well," He said out loud to himself, "I'd be happy to try them out
for ya Dite." Strife gave an evil chuckle before disappearing in a
burst of blue light.

Part two

Strife grinned to him self as he read the scroll to himself,
quietly chuckling to himself every few seconds.
((Forget your lover Spell�)) He read to himself,
((Get the one you love to forget their current lover�blah,blah,blah�
and fall in love for you)) Strife grinned evilly as he continued to
read the next spell,
((Get someone to confess his or her love�)) Strife immediately
thought of Cupid,
((Maybe, if he loves me at all, he'll confess it and�..What the fuck
am I sayin? Cupe will never care for me�)) The god frowned to himself
and began to cross the hard marble floo,r of one of Ares many
temples, and flopping down on a nearby chair.

"Hmmmm." Strife mumbled as it echoed through the temple back at him.
The second of silence was interrupted by a burst of gold light.

"Cupid!" Strife yelped in a mixture of surprise and worry. Strife
quickly put the scroll under his butt and sat firmly on it hiding it
completely from view.

"What are you doing?" Cupid asked the fumbling god.

"Nothin'" Strife replied perhaps too quickly,
"So what's shakin'?" Strife continued to change the subject.

Cupid slowly approached Strife and took an extra seat next to him.
Cupid turned to the god and looked into his eyes before quickly
looking away.

"Hey listen Strife," Cupid began. Strife felt his heart skip a beat
hoping for something more then a friendly conversation.

"I just wanted to tell you that�" Cupid paused,
((That I love you, that I want you, and that I want to hold you until
your pain goes away)) Cupid thought briefly to himself,

"That....that you can come to me, if you ever need something....
anything." Cupid sighed, disappointing even himself.

"Oh," Strife gave a weak smile slightly disappointed.

"Cupid�I wanted top tell you somethin' too." Strife smiled.

"Yeah?" Cupid asked eagerly.

"I just wanted to tell you�." Strife paused, ((Tell him damn-it! Tell
him you love him.)) Strife thought momentarily before continuing his
sentence,
"Tell you that�..Thanks, thanks for standing by me." Strife sighed
helplessly.

"No problem�" Cupid sighed very disappointed.
The two sat in silence for a moment, looking shyly at each other.

"Well, I'll just see you later." Cupid managed getting to his feet.
Cupid smiled at Strife before vanishing in a burst of gold light.

"Later," Strife smiled sadly. Strife shook his head with misty eyes,
((He'll never love me, ever�.)) He sniffed slightly blinking away
tears.
((Well, I guess my next stop, is Joxer, he is my second choice�.))
Strife thought with a loud sigh disappearing in a flash of blue light.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Aphrodite watched the men silently until they departed. After Strife
left, the love goddess lost it.

"AHHHHHHH!" She screamed shaking the temple, "That's IT!" She yelled
disappearing in a burst of pink and gold, and reappearing in her own
temple. Aphrodite immediately walked over to her drawers and began
shifting through all her scrolls.
((I know there's a `confession of love' spell on that new scroll
somewhere!)) She thought opening the drawer where it was kept.
Aphrodite shifted through the scrolls before pausing.

"Ut-oh�" The love goddess sighed slightly worried, "Its been stolen!"

Part three

Strife watched silently with a scowl across his face as Ares and
Joxer sat closely side by side.
Strife tore his eyes away form the happy couple and reached into his
pocket, pulling out Aphrodite's scroll of love spells. Strife sighed
silently to his self, scanning the scroll.
((Maybe this isn't such a good idea�.)) Strife thought squinting up
his face in doubt.
((But then again, you don't have a chance with Cupe! And as for Jox,
well�.)) Strife began debating with himself. Strife looked up just in
time to see Ares and Joxer embraced in a passionate kiss.
((That's it!)) Strife thought finally. Strife quickly began mumbling
the words on the script. A red light immediately flowed from the
script and circled around the kissing couple before disappearing
slowly. Strife chuckled to his self and leaned against a nearby wall.
((Nothin' to do now except ta sit back and watch Jox come ta me!))

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Ares and Joxer pulled away from each other and looked around.
"Did you hear that?" Ares asked looking around the temple
anxiously.Ther was a second of silence, Ares shrugged.
"Oh well." Ares went on moving in towards Joxer for another kiss, but
he never meet his lovers lips, Joxer backed away and looked at the
war good strangely.
"What are you doing?" Joxer asked nervously getting to his feet.
"What?" Ares asked very confused.
"I don't love you, I love Strife!" Joxer yelled wiping his mouth off
with his sleeve.
"No you don't!" Ares replied as the spell began to take effect. "I
love Strife skinny boy, he's mine!" Ares boomed moving away from the
mortal with a scowl. Joxer stuck out his tongue and began wiping it
off before replying.
"No I don't think so!" Joxer yelled back with forced that surprised
even him. Ares widened his eyes with a mixture of shock and anger.
"Well, the only thing that matters is that I'm going to get to him
first!" Ares said smoothly with a smirk.
"See ya." He finished disappearing in a burst of light. Joxer yelled
out in frustration before storming off.
Strife made him self visible and grinned nervously.
"Well that's not what was suppose ta happen!" Strife said out loud
growing nervous.
"Oh well, that'll make Cupe twice as jealous!" He laughed out loud
before disappearing in a blue flash.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Hey Mom, what do you want now?" Cupid asked appearing in a burst of
gold.
The love goddess stormed towards her son with her hands balled into
fists at her sides.
"My SCROLL, what did you do with it!" Aphrodite asked raising her
voice slightly.
"What scroll mom?" Cupid asked shaking his head puzzled.
The love goddess smacked the side of the winged god's head.
"Don't play dumb with me Cupie! You saw me with it!" She snapped
menacingly.
"Ow! Mom, I swear I don't have it" Cupid whined rubbing the side of
his head. The love goddess looked skeptically at her son before
finally believing him.
"Well if you don't have it who does?"
Ares flashing in-between the two gods interrupting them.
"Where's Strife?" Ares asked anxiously immediately looking around for
the younger god.
The love gods looked on as Ares walked around the temple anxiously.
"I don't know, I thought he was with you." Aphrodite said slightly
puzzled before continuing.
"Where's Joxer?"
Ares immediately stopped and looked at his sister.
"NEVER talk about that clumsy fool again!" Ares warned growling.
"What? But you love him." She went on very confused.
Ares shook his head frantically.
"I DO NOT love that fool! I have a new interest now." Ares smirked
shrugging.
"Who?" Aphrodite asked in a mixture of confusion and worry.
"Strife." Ares replied smoothly licking his lips.
"WHAT!" Cupid yelled walking up to the war god as his mother held a
protective arm against her son's stomach and shook her head. Cupid
protested, shooting his mother an annoyed look before backing away.
"Well if you see him, tell him I want to talk to him ok?" Ares
commanded more then asked and disappeared in a burst of light.
Cupid began to launch into a big speech before he was interrupted by
another flash of light. But this time it was Strife accompanied by
Joxer. The two appeared before the love gods embraced in a kiss.
Strife pulled away and looked towards Aphrodite and Cupid who had
their mouths hung agape.
"Oh hey guys!" Strife grinned looking back at Joxer and kissing him
lightly.
"Strife! What the fuck is this about?" Cupid asked infuriated.
Strife shrugged.
"We're in love." Strife replied simply. Aphrodite looked down only to
see her scroll sticking out of Strife's pocket.

Part Four

Aphrodite glared from the scroll to Strife. Strife looked at his aunt
quizzically.
"What?" He finally snapped at her.
Aphrodite scowled and reached down yanking the script from Strife's
pocket and waving it in front of his face.
"Gee, this looks familiar!" The love goddess shoot back raising her
voice. Aphrodite couldn't decided if the tinge of red that came to
Strife's face was from embarrassment or anger, but she was sure he
was about to come up with some excuse.
"IT WASN'T MY FAULT! All these `couples' everywhere!" Strife yelled
taking everyone by surprise.
"I wanted someone too ya know! I have feelings too! And Cupid didn't
love me so I went for Jox." He continued his voice lowering slightly.
The four stood in deadly silence before Cupid cut in.
"You love me Strife?" Cupid asked shyly. Strife rolled his eyes.
"Don't taunt me Cupe, yes I love you." He admitted turning a darker
color of red.
"But Strife, I..I love you too." Cupid admitted quietly. The four
were quiet again as Aphrodite looked anxiously from her son to
Strife. Strife eyed Cupid for a moment with a puzzled look on his
face. Strife didn't know whether Cupid was telling the truth or just
bluffing.
"Don't lie Cupe, I've come ta accept it." Strife said with a shaky
voice.
The love goddess looked over at the confused mortal and began to walk
towards him. Aphrodite put her hand on his forehead as the mortal
collapsed onto the floor fast asleep.
"What did ya do!" Strife looked down at Joxer.
"He's not yours Strife, him and Ares belong together." She said
firmly. Strife frowned, but it quickly turned
into a scowl.
"Fine whatever, take him!" Strife whined disappearing in a flash if
blue light.
Aphrodite looked over at Cupid with a frown. Cupid shrugged and
disappeared in a flash of gold.
"What a mess." Aphrodite frowned at the sleeping mortal.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Ares sat on the side of Aphrodite's pink bed as the mortal he loved
slept. Aphrodite managed to break the spell Strife put on the two men
and returned them to their normal selves. Ares smiled, leaned down,
and kissed Joxer lightly on the lips. Joxer opened his eyes slowly
and saw his lover smiling down at him.
"Ut-oh!" Joxer yelped backing away from the war god.
Ares raised his eyebrows.
"What wrong Jox?" Ares asked scooting closer.
Joxer smiled nervously at the war god and scooted further away.
"Um ya know, what happened. I'm so," Joxer began to frantically
explain but Ares began to laugh. Joxer looked at the laughing god
nervously.
"Its ok Jox, lets just say that that was a little mistake. Its ok
now." Ares replied moving in and kissing Joxer lightly. Joxer pulled
away yet again.
"So you still love me?" The confused mortal asked looking deep into
the war god's eyes. Ares sighed in frustration.
"YES! Now will you kiss me already?" Ares sighed giving a world class
pout. Joxer smiled and swiftly moved in and embarrassed with his
lover in a passionate kiss.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Strife sat on the end of his bed and sighed softly, slipping into
depression.
((What if he actually did love me?)) Strife frowned alone in the dark
chamber. ((I blew it!))
"SHIT!" Strife yelled out in frustration as his words echoed off the
torch lit walls and echoed back at him.
((I'm totally out of the picture now.)) He thought leaning back lying
flat on his soft bed. Cupid flashed into the room in a burst of gold
dust that lit up the chamber.
"Cupe?" Strife sat up looking upon the winged god who frowned back at
him.
"Cupe listen I," Strife began but Cupid held up a silencing hand.
"No Strife, it's my turn to talk." Cupid protested sitting next to
his cousin. Cupid sighed deeply and began to speak.
"Strife, it was all my fault that all this happened. If I had
confessed my feelings earlier, this would have never happen. I'm
sorry for the pain I put you through, and I'm sorry for what I put
Joxer and Ares through." Cupid continued.
"But Cupe," Strife began to interrupt but Cupid shook his head and
put two fingers to Strife's lips.
"No Strife, I know when I've made a mistake. But I'm going to set it
right." Cupid gave a deep nervous sigh and blurted it out.
"I love you Strife, I've always loved you." There was a moment of
blissful silence as Cupid finished his speech and looked down away
from the man he loved. Strife looked deep into his cousin's eyes and
smiled lovingly. Strife's hand found Cupids and intertwined them
together softly. Strife brought up his other hand up under Cupid's
chin and directed the winged god's face up to meet his.
"Gods Cupe, I love you too." Strife whispered moving in and embracing
with his new lover in a soft, long awaited kiss.

P.S. I would just like to thank Beth, the BEST beta in the entire
world for helping me fix all my silly mistakes! You're the best
Beth!! :)

Part Five

Joxer pulled his god on top of himself, moaning softly. Ares
straddled his lover and deepened their kiss. Joxer pulled away
suddenly, glancing around the room.
"What?" Ares asked, breathing hard.
"We're in Aphrodite's bed." Joxer stated, raising his eyebrows.
Ares rolled his eyes.
"Don't worry, she won't bother us. Trust me." Ares shrugged off the
subject.
"Okay." Joxer smiled, reaching out a hand and tracing a finger along
the side of Ares' jaw.
Ares leaned down and kissed Joxer's full lips, sliding a hand under
his white shirt. Joxer slid one of his own hands behind Ares' neck
and pulled the war god in closer.

Ares slowly pulled away and pulled Joxer's shirt up over his head,
tossing it aside. The war god began to move down the mortal's
chest, and began planting hot, wet kisses all over Joxer's chest.
The mortal gasped as Ares moved lower and his hands began unlacing
Joxer's pants.
"Ares! Hurry, please." Joxer panted with need, arching his back
slightly. After a few minutes of attempting to un-lace Joxer's
pants, Ares finally made their clothes vanish with a thought.
Joxer gasped as Ares moved his face back up to his.

The war god kissed him deeply, rubbing his bare body against him.
Ares sucked at Joxer's neck for a moment before moving back down to
his throbbing cock. The god slowly kissed the tip of Joxer's cock
before wrapping his mouth around the hard shaft.
"Please, Ares, I need you! So bad." Joxer whimpered in desperation.
Ares smiled slightly before finally engulfing the full length of
Joxer's shaft. Joxer cried out as Ares began sucking hard, moving up
and down. Joxer restrained himself from thrusting up into his
lover's mouth, and tugged at Ares' hair to bring the war god back up
to his face.
"Make love to me, Ares." Joxer panted looking deep into the war god's
dark eyes.
Ares looked passionately back at his lover before moving in and
kissing him tenderly.

Ares slowly turned Joxer over and sat comfortably on top of him with
his legs placed on either side. Ares moved down and slowly began to
suck hungrily at Joxer's neck. Ares traced kisses down Joxer's
writhing body. Ares moved all the way down Joxer's back until he came
to the mortal's firm ass. Ares smiled and moved down to lick Joxer's
ass. Just as slowly, Ares inserted one finger into the mortal,
sucking the left side of his lover's ass. Joxer moaned and pushed
back as Ares fucked the mortal with two of his fingers.

Ares withdrew his fingers and brought Joxer to his knees. The war god
placed his painfully hard cock at the mortal's tight entrance, gently
pushing into the wet warmth of his mortal lover.

Ares bit his lip, holding back a moan, as he buried himself inside
his beloved's writhing body. Joxer gasped with pleasure, pushing back
against his god. Ares pulled half-way out and thrust back into Joxer,
hitting the mortal's pleasure spot. Joxer cried out and pushed back
harder, urging the war god on. Ares finally lost it. He began to
thrust in and out of the other man, making him cry out with
pleasure. The war god's movements quickly became faster and faster.
Joxer could feel every nerve in his body being set on fire. He could
feel his body tightening before he was overwhelmed by the intense
pleasure and came with a force that surprised even him. Ares
continued to desperately thrust into Joxer until he finally came
inside of the mortal, filling him with his hot seed.

The two men panted for air as they collapsed next to each other,
exhausted.
"Gods, Jox!" Ares managed to spit out, turning to face his lover.
Joxer smiled and kissed Ares on the lips. You, too." He replied. The
satisfied lovers held each other as they attempted to catch their
breaths.
"I wonder how Strife and Cupid are doing ?" Joxer thought out loud.
Ares rolled his eyes.
"I'm sure they're doing fine."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Cupid and Strife continued kissing each other, softly moaning
together. Strife suddenly pulled away.
"So you forgive me?" Strife looked sadly into his new lover's eyes.
Cupid nodded and gave a loving smile.
"Of course, I forgive you, " The love god smiled, tracing his fingers
down Strife's cheek.
"Besides, I was never really mad." He shrugged, moving closer to
Strife. The Mischief God or something sighed softly as Cupid moved in
and began laying soft kisses on his cousin`s neck. Strife moaned
softly and closed his eyes. Cupid pushed Strife down on the bed
gently, while continuing to place gentle kisses along Strife's neck.
But suddenly, Cupid sat up quickly.
"Yah know, I know what you've been through, and if you don't want
to.. ." Cupid began softly. He was interrupted with Strife's lips
colliding against his.
"No, I want to Cupid. So bad." Strife whispered, pulling Cupid back
down on top of him.

The winged god moved back down and kissed his lover once more. Strife
moaned louder as a hot, seeking tongue parted his lips, and began
massaging his tongue slowly. The two explored each other`s mouth inch
by inch, slowly and softly. Strife reached around and grasped Cupid's
strong shoulders. Cupid shivered as Strife, having removed their
clothes with a thought, suddenly pushed his bare body against his
cousin's.

Strife moaned as Cupid's hard cock rubbed against his. The Love God
sighed as Strife's hands explored his body; everywhere his love
touched him he found himself erupting in a daze of pure passion.
Strife wrapped his legs around Cupid, allowing him to press even
closer. The God of Mischief shifted on top of his cousin and began to
trace soft kisses all over his chest. Cupid twisted the cool silk
sheets in his hands as Strife began to trace kisses down his
body. "Gods, Strife! I need you." Cupid moaned in frustration. His
lover's kisses seemed to grow slower on the way down to the winged
god's hard cock.

Cupid held back a whimper as Strife began to spiral his tongue around
his painfully hard cock. Cupid didn't know whether to tell him to go
slower or speed up; all he knew was that he wanted more. Strife
slowly wrapped his mouth around Cupid`s cock and slowly moved down
its length. Cupid gasped sharply and thrashed his head from side to
side.
"More!" Cupid gasped out, trying not to thrust into the other god's
mouth. Cupid held back his pleas as his lover slowly drew back,
sucking hard.
"Strife! I need you�now!" Cupid whispered guiding Strife's head back
up to his.

The two men kissed passionately until Strife drew away slowly.
"Strife, I want you to make love to me." Cupid gasped, breathing
hard.
"But Cupid, I thought you. . ." Strife began, but was interrupted by
the winged god.
"Please, Strife. I�need...you...so...bad." Cupid moaned In-between
the soft kisses Cupid traced down Strife's neck. Strife shifted on
top of the winged god and smiled. "You're so beautiful!"

Strife began to move down and claim his lover's lips in a soft kiss.
Strife slowly worked one finger into his lover and felt him tense up,
gasping sharply. As soon as Cupid was relaxed, Strife worked another
finger in, followed by a third. Strife searched for a moment before
finding Cupid's pleasure spot. He rubbed against it. Cupid moaned and
pushed back. Strife smiled, quickly removing his fingers, and
replacing them with his painfully hard cock. Strife moaned as he slid
slowly into his lover`s writhing body.

"Please, Strife, need�you." Cupid urged his cousin on. Strife slowly
drew his lover up to his knees, breathing deeply. Strife wetted his
lips slowly and buried himself completely in his lover's tight, slick
heat. The god beneath him shivered and thrust back. Strife slowly
pulled out, and then thrust back into his lover, hitting his pleasure
spot with each movement. Cupid cried out in pleasure, making Strife
draw out and thrust in slowly at first, then faster. Strife slid one
of his hands around Cupid and grasped his cock tightly, slowly
beginning to stroke the long shaft, making the winged god cry out and
tighten around him. Strife began moving his hand in time to match his
own deep thrusts. Strife felt Cupid's ass clamp down around his cock
as hot come spilled over his hand. Strife thrust into Cupid one more
time before he also came, crying out his new lover's name. The lovers
collapsed next to each other, catching their breaths.

Strife curled up to Cupid as they wrapped their arms around one
another.
"I love you Cupe." Strife sighed, smiling broadly. Cupid smiled in
return, closing his eyes.
"I love you, too." He finished as the two began to fall into a
peaceful slumber.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Ares and Joxer appeared in front of the two sleeping gods wrapped in
each other's arms. Ares smiled and rolled his eyes as Joxer grinned
at him.
"Aren't they funny? Always causing trouble." Joxer stated more than
asked.
"Funny?" Ares growled. "Funny? Strife tried to break us up, Jox!"
Ares sneered in Strife's direction.
Joxer rolled his eyes and playfully pushed Ares.
"But it doesn't matter! It's all okay now." Joxer responded, nodding
towards the sleeping gods.
Ares continued to sneer.
"No, he'll pay!" Ares said smoothly.
Joxer rolled his eyes and moved inches away from his face.
"Ya know," Joxer said in a hushed voice. "Do you really want to stay
here and argue about this, or do you wanna have some more fun?" Joxer
pouted, looking up at his war god.
Ares smirked down at Joxer and smiled.
"Well, when you put it that way." Ares smiled, taking Joxer's lips in
a kiss. Together, they disappeared in a flash of white light.

The End
