The Underworld was a realm shrouded in darkness, where souls wandered aimlessly in eternal rest. But for Y/N, a mortal soul who had recently arrived in the afterlife, the Underworld was anything but gloomy. It was a realm that had captured his curiosity and heart, for he had become enamored with the god who ruled over it - Hades.

Y/N had heard stories of Hades, the god of the Underworld, known for his stern demeanor and powerful presence. But as he caught glimpses of Hades during his wanderings in the Underworld, Y/N sensed that there was more to the god than met the eye. He was intrigued, and he couldn't shake off the feeling of being drawn towards him.

One day, as Y/N was exploring the vast realm of the Underworld, he found himself in a secluded part of the realm, where Hades was overseeing the souls of the departed. Y/N couldn't help but approach, his heart fluttering with nervousness and excitement.

Hades, with his dark robes and piercing eyes, noticed Y/N's presence and frowned. He was not used to mortals intruding in his domain, but as he looked at Y/N, he couldn't deny the undeniable spark of interest that flickered within him.

Hades: "What brings you here, mortal?"

Y/N: "I... I was just curious, my lord. The Underworld is a fascinating place, and I wanted to learn more."

Hades arched an eyebrow, intrigued by Y/N's boldness.

Hades: "Curiosity killed the cat, or in this case, the mortal. You should be careful where you wander in the Underworld."

Y/N: "I understand, my lord. I apologize if I have overstepped my bounds."

Hades softened his gaze slightly, his curiosity piqued by Y/N's genuine interest.

Hades: "Hmm, you are different from the other souls I have encountered. What is your name, mortal?"

Y/N: "I am Y/N, my lord."

Hades: "Well then, Y/N, since you are so fascinated by the Underworld, perhaps you would like a tour?"

Y/N's eyes lit up with excitement, and he nodded eagerly. Hades took him on a guided tour of the Underworld, showing him the different realms and explaining the intricacies of the afterlife. Y/N listened attentively, but his attention was mostly focused on Hades himself. He couldn't help but be captivated by the god's commanding presence and mysterious aura.

As days turned into weeks, Y/N found himself spending more and more time with Hades. He would accompany the god on his rounds, assisting him in his duties, and engaging in conversations that revealed glimpses of Hades' hidden depths. Y/N was drawn to Hades in a way that he couldn't explain, and he found himself falling for the god.

But Hades, being the god of the Underworld, was not known for his warmth or affection. He kept his emotions guarded, and Y/N was unsure if his feelings were reciprocated. However, he couldn't shake off the desire to win Hades' heart.

One day, as Y/N and Hades were standing by the river Lethe, Hades looked at Y/N with a mix of curiosity and something else -  a hint fondness.

Hades: "You know, Y/N, you are different from the other souls that I have encountered. There is something about you that draws me towards you."

Y/N's heart leapt with joy at Hades' words. He had hoped that his feelings were not unrequited.

Y/N: "My lord, I have to confess something. I have developed feelings for you. I know it's unusual for a mortal to feel this way towards a god, but I cannot help how I feel."

Hades looked at Y/N with a mixture of surprise and interest.

Hades: "Y/N, I appreciate your honesty. I must confess that I have also been drawn towards you. Your curiosity, your kindness, and your courage - they have all captivated me."
