Open: All that you are is a face in the mirror

[vineleaves]

That was certainly a weird dream. If he hadn't experienced everyone else being ...weird alternate versions, he wouldn't think anything of it, but considering the fact that he had, he is now wondering if it happened to him, as well.

First order of business though is of course checking on Mercutio, to make sure he is back. Once that particular fear is gone, he decides breakfast is in order, then he should check up on the garden. Hopefully today will be normal and uneventful.



If anyone would like to speak with regular Dionysus now that he is no longer an AU, feel free! Or honestly if you just want to talk to him anyway, that's fine too.

He laughs and gives Dionysus another kiss. "That must be it. Couldn't possibly be that you're enthusiastic and utterly delightful in your own right. It's completely the dildos."

[vineleaves]

"Imagine how differently Dark would've gone if that was the thing I could make appear out of thin air instead of wine."

[futaille]

He laughs brightly. "Would have been helpful in a very different way."

[vineleaves]

Dionysus laughs, then catches Grantaire in another kiss.

[futaille]

He returns it, of course. "I was very partial to the wine, though."

[vineleaves]

"Good news is you get to have as much wine as you want, for the rest of your life."

[futaille]

He grins. "Oh, so it is heaven."

[vineleaves]

Dionysus laughs. "I think you've been sleeping with the wrong god if that's the afterlife you're trying to get to, love." But his hand is back playing with Grantaire's curls, smoothing them back away from the side of his face. "But there's unlimited... well, I guess everything, in Hades, from what I saw. ...Don't go visiting any time soon though."

[futaille]

"There's basically unlimited everything here, too, so I'm not particularly eager to leave."

[vineleaves]

"Good." Another kiss, although this one is slower than the others were.

[futaille]

He kisses back with a soft pleased hum.

[vineleaves]

"I feel like I need to make something for you," he says somewhat suddenly after the kiss is over. "Because of how sweet you were yesterday, and also because you told me what play I'm from, which has been bugging me ever since I got here. It's a big day. What do you want?"

[futaille]

He blinks. "You really don't actually need to make anything for me."

[vineleaves]

“But I want to.”

[futaille]

"Oh. What sort of thing were you thinking?"

[vineleaves]

“That’s the problem. You don’t really wear, y’know, jewelry or anything like that so if I made you a necklace or something it’d be a waste. Dunno what to make.” The waistcoat with vine embroidery from his birthday had been a workaround to this problem - something that would let everyone know how important Grantaire is to Dionysus, but that he might actually wear. But that wasn’t him making the thing, it was him staring at a closet for half an hour until the perfect article of clothing showed up. It doesn’t feel the same to him.

[futaille]

He considers this. "There's always a fob for my watch, I suppose?"

[vineleaves]

"I could do that! Is that what you would like?"

[futaille]

"It seems the most suitable option."

[vineleaves]

"Okay!" He sits up a little, enough to work a little better, and starts weaving together tiny, very delicate vines, swirling them into a pattern alternating between rounded figure eights and more solid sections, with a zigzag design. After a few minutes he adds the end pieces, and then it twirls in midair, turning gold, before falling down into Dionysus's palm. He hands it over to Grantaire. "Is that a good length, or do you want me to change it?"

[futaille]

He runs a finger over the length of the chain. "Oh. That's lovely."

[vineleaves]

Dionysus smiles, and kisses Grantaire's cheek. "I'm glad you like it."

[futaille]

He smiles. "How could I not?"

[vineleaves]

"Can I be really sappy for a moment, and you won't try to argue with whatever I say?" He asks, as if he hasn't already been sappy today.

[futaille]

"Since you're giving fair warning, go ahead."
