Endmyion blinked, Diana seated in his other side gave his arm a genlte squeeze, before he could protest, Adel quickly piped up."Play something Celtic."
An odd choice of music, Endymion shrugged and nodded. "That sounds fine to me Apollo."

Apollo smiles across at Adel, secretly pleased. It was one of his favorite types of music and as he had blessed that culture that grew slowly from the green isle, he had had fun inspiring the melodies that were completely different from any others. He began playing a song that was not too slow, but not so fast that it seemed out of character. And when he sung, it was in Gaelic, wanting to stay true to the culture. Through his song, he often looked up, his eyes locking with Endymion's, as if singing to him.

After the first few times of eye contact Endmyion finally just closed his eyes and listened to the melody, he didn't understand any of the words but the music was oddly calming to him.... and just hearing Apollo's voice....
Diana's pressing up against him interupped his reverie, He pulled away from her in slight annoyance and listened again to the music.

Apollo's song was a simple Gaelic love song. Sure, he could control people with his music and affect those who wouldn't normally be affected. but he wasn't doing this now. He wanted Endymion to fall for him and for him alone. He wouldn't cheat. He sees the young god pull from Diana slightly but doesn't allow himself to get too excited by the action. It could have been nothing, just a fluke. He'd like to think differently, but wouldn't allow himself to do so.
But the song finally ended on a soft low note. He couldn't drag the song out forever. Thinking perhaps his aloofness may draw Endymion, he turns his attention to Adel and grins, beginning to play the more upbeat tune "The Jug of Punch" which was in English and something he knew Adel would enjoy.

Endymion smiled, listening. He was content with just sitting here listening to Apollo sing.
After the song Diana stood up and pulled Dymion up with her. "Endymion, it's time that I can train you now. "
The young god nodded and followed her. Giving Adel a thumbs up, before leaving his deep blue eyes lingered over Apollo's face, they where qustioning.

Apollo finally looks up the very moment that Endymion turned his eyes in his direction, locking his gaze with Endymion's. He just holds him for a moment in that gaze, his eyes warm and slighly sad, but otherwise unreadable. He finally smiles and comments playfully, "Keep my sister on her toes, hm? I'm sure she's out of practice. And don't worry, I'll let you have a few hour power nap before we get started in the morning. Have fun."

At Apollo's words Endymion already had his back to him, but he raised his hand in a gesture that he had heard as he dissapeared into the darkening twilight.
Some hours during training with Diana, she had decided that he was making great progress with testing out and perfecting the basics. "It's well past midnight, do you want to try flying again?"
He immediately perked up at that. "Sure!" he stood up and took her hand."Like before?"
"Yes...."
He gave a little jump to join her in mid air. He was still a little shaky and grabbed both her hands to steady himself. Diana smiled encouragement as she drew him higher in the sky.

Apollo finally looks across the fire, smiling some as he saw that Adel was fading fast, nodding off even as he sang. He had been singing for Adel a while longer after the two had left and he felt quite content. Even if his heart was broken, Adel's fondness was very cheering and it was easy to forget about Endymion breaking his heart when Adel commanded his attention playfully.
"Okay, Adel... It's late now, but.... If you get ready for bed and get in your sleeping bag, I'll sing one last song for the night."

"...Hmm.. ok." Adel yawned and sleepily crawled into his sleeping bag. He murmered. "Apollo, your not mad that Dymion's not gonna be sleeping you tonight again are you?"

Apollo smiles sort of sadly, but not as he had before. It was a real smile, as if cherishing the fact that Adel was young and innocent not to know such consuming feelings. He settles for a relatively safe version to tell Adel, "No, Adel... I"m not mad at all... I'm a little sad though... I love him very much, but I'm afraid he doesn't feel the same... But everything's okay, don't worry on it... As long as Endymion's happy, everything's okay..."
He chuckles a little, wanting to lighten the mood, "Of course, I certainly hope you're happy too. If you ever need me to silence his snoring, just tell me and we'll give him a couple of pillows to the head..." He sits down, "Goodnight Adel..." He begins to sing, this time infusing a little bit of his own powers into the lullaby.

Adel was about to say something, but the spell made him fall asleep as he said it. "....I like you.....Dmyion likes you to... he's...just....zzZzzz"
Flying was wondrous!
Endymion now flew unaided, through the misty clouds after Diana. They had been playing a game of hide and seek for more then an hour now. The weather didn't' bother him as much anymore and Diana was still in that same dress she always wore.
The Goddess enjoyed the chase. She flew through a cloud tackling Endymion in midair. "Gott ya!" She laughed, warming her slim arms around him. He laughed too.
His laughter died away when he saw her expression of delight. Gods, she's beautiful....
Only in the moonlight did she seem to shine, her pale skin, and her silverly hair reflected the moon's soft glow. and her eyes..... Endmyion found himself staring into crystal clear blue eyes, such a color he'd never seen before. For a moment it took his breath away.
It came as a surprise when he felt soft lips on his own, eyes widening, he made to draw back, but his arms went around her and drew her close and kissed her back. ...oh....god....

Apollo sighs, watching Adel fall asleep. His lullaby fades gently and he stills the lute strings, whispering, "I know, Adel.... He just doesn't like me enough."
He stands up and carefully puts the instruments away so that they'd be safe from the cold and the moisture of the night. He glances up towards the moon, sighing. Sure, he could put on a confident allof front for everyone else, but nothing could save him from himself when he was alone. He crawls into the other tent, intent on trying to sleep if only to kill the pain. He didn't know what Diana and Endymion were doing, but he knew there was nothing he could do to stop them. He slides into his sleeping bag and sobs softly until he falls asleep.

Some time later, Endymion crawled into the tent where Apollo was sleeping, he wasn't aware of it, he was still floating miles above the earth where he had....
Humming quietly, he snuggled into the sleeping bag, pleasantly tired and welcome to the dreams he would have of the moon-goddess. Her name was on soft on his lips as he fell asleep.

The sun god woke not too long afterwards, the sun calling him to the nearest view of the horizon. He wakes feeling slight groggy, his cheeks dry and tight from dried tear tracks. He scrubs at them with his hand, trying to erase the feeling. He looks down to see Endymion sleeping beside him and felt his heart leap in his chest. But it seemed... off. The boy was hot with arousal and certainly not for Apollo. No, he would have woken the sun god up for that. He bites his lip until he feels it give way and blood trickles from the corner of his mouth. He licks his lips, wiping the blood away with the back of his hand.
Unable to take that tension, both from the pull of the sun and the presence of Endymion, he crawls from the tent and relights the fire as lets the sun rise, beginning to cook breakfast for them all. However, he moved like a zombie, just going through the motion with his mind a hundred miles away.

Diana had waited for the sun to rise before going back to camp knowing that Apollo would be up. Adjusting her dress and brushing dried leaves from her hair she walked back, seeing her brother's back she waited till he was through before saying her good mornings.
"Good morning Apollo." She smiled, "Have a good rest? I'm about to get a few hours of sleep myself, Endmyion ran me ragged all night." She giggles. "He's mastered all the basics now."
