The large daunting sculpture of one at the center of Rome felt both hurtful and heartwarming. Their death being honored felt good but missing them hurt every day. It's why four couldn't bear to stare at the lovely marble artwork any longer. Slightly rushing through the township and past the Coliseum which was already bustling with activity. Four made his way to the small yet beautifully sculpted temple on the high hill that got perfect lighting at almost every hour. That was at least the second perk he got from being a war hero ontop of his fallen friend being respected in the courtyard. Slowly making his way inside, past the large pools and various rooms he ventured till he found the garden. And there awaited his third and more...accidental gift. She had stumbled onto his doorstep during a harsh rainstorm and he couldn't turn the poor girl away. He almost imidiately became infatuated with her though. How she marveled at his handmade weapons and admired the delicate work of the marble pillars throughout the temple. But it was also apparent she had a natural green thumb as she loved working in the garden. He had decided to "hire" her as a gardener as she mentioned her father was strict and overprotective. Bug that was then, and since then he had proven to him he wouldn't hurt a hair on her head and she spent almost every day there under the guise of his gardener to the outside public. He rounded the corner as the afternoon sunbeams graced across the flowers and various vibrant plants including the girl he had been looking for looking over the pink roses and blue forget me nots that where there making sure they where healthy though the sun was making her dark gold hair shine more than usual. He quietly discarded his work bag at the entrance walking into the grass. She stood the soft white satin toga loosely following her before four suddenly grabbed her and hoisted her into a sitting position onto his arms as she squeaked "four!" He just snickered smiling at her softly "hello love" she blushed a lot at that looking down at him smiling with a giggle "I wasn't expecting you to be back this early. What about the shop?" Four slowly let her down onto her feet again though still keeping her close loving the feeling of her hands on his arms "closed up early. The day was really slow but I got a few projects done" he set his hand against the back of her neck cradling her head "I see, hehe, that's very good thEn-" she let out another suprised squeak as four started to gently caress her neck and collar bone with kisses having her back arch a bit more as she fully pressed against him before he just nuzzled into her neck "g-goodness. Lovable today are we?" Four just hummed loudly gripping at her sides looking up at her with a dark look she knew very well "my aphrodite~" he smiled gently as she responded "my hephaestus" he then kissed her fully, easily lifting her up into his arms again making his way over to one of the various bedrooms. Hoping to make her legs weak for the next hour.
