Welcome to Gaia! ::

Apollo turns and stares at Endymion in utter surprise, almost disbelief setting in on his face, "Endymion.... Do you think I would have fought so hard to get you back if I wasn't planning on staying with you? I'm in this for good, I knew I was when I gave you that ring. When I was with Herms and Dionysus, I never kidded myself into thinking I would ever love them..." He sighs. He wasn't angry any more, not at all... because he had thought of this same question centuries ago. He knew what Endymion was worrying about.
"How would it have beem if you were still mortal? You would have grown old and died and I would be left alone... And we are immortal... But I know right now I love you in a way I've never felt for anyone else... But if you're ddeadset not to be with me, then I guess that doesn't matter..." He looks to the table infront of him, distracted.

Apollo doesn't falter, but simply reaches over, lifting Endymion's chin to look him in the eyes. Apolos own violet eyes stayed true in color, shining as they lock on Endymion's cobalt counterparts.
"Endymion, I love you. I have any eternity to live and that's what I'm giving to you. If you don't want me, then I'll leave, but my heart will stay with you. I promise you that."
He slips gently into Endymion's mind, playing out every memory of thie love before Endymion's eyes, all of them passing quickly, but still every detail sticks out. Apollo leaves Endymion's mind as gently as he came, still cradling the young god's cheek.

Apollo's heart nearly broke in two as he sat there. He withdraws his hand slowly. He bites his lower lip, not knowing why Endymion was in such pain because of this. He keeps his eyes on Endymion, feeling his own eyes burning with tears behind them. He whispers, "I can wait for however long you need me to."

A small smile settles over Apollo's lips, his eyes warm as he answwers, "Of course, love, even if it takes centuries."
He takes Endymion's hand and kisses it gently.

Apollo glances back up to Endymion's face and blushes slightly, not realizing how intimate the gesture really was. He pulls back as well, "Oh.... Sorry...." He chuckles nervously, joking somewhat, "Sometimes its hard to keep my hands off of you." He didn't know what else to do, but the fact that Endymion would come back to hi, even if he had to wait... well, it was better than nothing.

It all flew over Apollo's head at first and he only looked confused, nodding, "Of course, don't you rememb-..."
He stops short as the realization hit. He had seen one of Dionysus' flowers near Endymion earlier but hadn't considered it then. His eyes widen and he whispers, "No.... you don't remember.... oh gods........." His jaw drops. Endymion didn't remember their intimate relationship at all. Apollo wanted to kill Dionysus out of frustration. He shakes his head, sighing and whispers, "I'm sorry... Dionysus has been sticking his hands where they don't belong......." He closes his eyes, utterly overwhelmed that, in Endymion's mind, their whole relationship to this point didn't exist.

Apollo quickly caught up with him, gently catching him by the shoulders and stopping him, "No, Dymion, wait for a second..." he chuckles a little at the situation. He says in a soft voice, "You can't remember what it was like when we were together... sexually... because Dionysus made you forget... Thos flowers he gave you... They carry away memories the more that you smell them..." He lets go, making sure Endymion wouldn't stomp away into the tent again, "I don't know why he did it other than to make it easier for him to court you... that was his goal, you know...."

Apollo sighs, glancing into the tent before looking back to Endymion, "Listen, I don't know why he did it either, but why would I lie to you about something like this... And how else would I have those memories that I showed you earlier... Oh gods... I'm sorry, I must have scared you to death with those..." He chuckles, but quickly reains his composure, "W-wait... you would have- what?"
