Jupiter has had enough of Aiko.
"Solaris, look, none of this is my fault despite you clearly blaming me for it"
"you're literally the love and fertility goddess, of course you can fucking control sexual thoughts! do you understand how many times I've gone praying to you to stop these thoughts??" Jupiter yells.
"about who exactly? your little protectee?" She teases.
"..k-keep Diamond Winters out of this!" She exclaims back, shaking from anger despite her face going slightly red.
"I am very aware of what you think about, Jupiter Solaris, but what do you expect me to do?"
"I'm expecting you to give me a break! It isn't nice thinking about your aceflux protectee in a sexual manner every single time they even touch you!"
"have you ever considered this is your fault?"
"..are you fucking blaming me for my hypersexuality??"
"hear me out!-"
"oh shut the fuck up, you're pathetic. An excuse for a goddess."
Aiko stiffens.
"you have a nerve talking to a goddess like that, Jupiter Solaris."
"oh yeah?? Bite me."
”you know I can cast you out or demote you? How sad, Jupiter Solaris as a succubus” Aiko taunts, pouting.
”you dare make me a succubus and I’ll have you declared a dead goddess”
”oh boohoo, it’ll be funny watching your face when you become the one thing you hate the most”
”Aiko, no. Aiko!” Jupiter yells, growing slightly more panicked yet more aggressive.
”I’ll send you down as a fallen angel, sure, but you’ll have to drop that Winters kid”
”wha- I’m not dropping Diamond!!”
”succubus it is then”
”why are you keeping me away from someone I love so much??” Jupiter continues yelling, looking like she’s ready to pounce on her.
Aiko laughs bitterly.
Jupiter has had enough of her bullshit.
She suddenly reaches into her shorts pocket, and pulls out a pocket knife with a sparkly red handle, then practically launches herself at Aiko and holds it to her neck.
”okay, okay! I won’t make you a succubus, just don’t hurt me!” She cries.
Jupiter picks herself up from on top of Aiko and slowly turns around to see Delphate, the goddess of the afterlife, the arts and witchcraft behind her.
Delphate needed violence to worship her, but towards her or another deity? Blasphemy.
”Get out, Solaris,” She says, using her powers to send her back down to Earth.
As Jupiter is sent back down, she ponders her options.
I mean.. she could run away? But she doesn't really have anywhere to run away to, she isn't from here after all..
Jupiter then feels a slight pain in one of her wings, which then makes her notice that it's already rotting and the feathers are falling off.
She needs to make her mind up, and fast.
The only person she'd really made friends with was Diamond Winters, the person she was supposed to look after as a guardian angel, they would be crushed if she left now after everything.
She could tell they had a crush on her anyways, she thought they were only kind of pretty.
Only a little.
Definitely only a little.. heh..
So what does she do then?
Panic rises in her chest as she realises that she’ll have to say goodbye to Diamond.
If only there was a way for her to stay..
Her mind races through every single possibility and plan.
But it couldn't work, right? They can't date the person they're professionally supposed to protect.
And, worst of all, the only form of love Jupiter really knew well was one Winters would not appreciate.
Well, they accidentally said that they only would if they were absolutely HAMMERED drunk.
..And they're an alcoholic anyways..
So hell yeah, why not?
She makes her way through the forest surrounding Diamond's little cottage.
Don't ask her how she remembers where they live, she has her ways.
And ways as in watching them in her ghost form and mind reading.
They would hopefully still be awake.
I mean.. they can't genetically sleep, so as long as they aren't passed out drunk, they should be okay.
She quietly goes into her more invisible ghost form, and phases through the wall of their house.
You could never really tell if they had a bad day or not, as everything was organised chaos.
Diamond hated organising, so they just put random things to the side and remembers where they are.
Usually Jupiter had to do it for them but they were getting a lot better recently.
They were probably at their desk, writing random poems as they usually do.
She phases up into their bedroom, to see exactly what she expected.
A half asleep yet surprisingly sober Diamond at their desk, fully dressed, writing poems under the light of a small candle placed at their right.
"boo!" She says, giving them a small fright.
"jupiter? wha-"
"just a late night visit, nothing personal" She shrugs, leaning on their desk.
"you’re shaking.. are you okay?”
"..well, I mean kinda?"
"what the hell happened to your wings?"
"oh! uhh.. i- well-"
Silence fills the room as Diamond stares at her with slight concern.
"..heaven kicked me out, I gotta leave you.."
"oh? oh."
"and you're the only actual person I know down here"
"pfft- yeah.." They say, trying to block out the tears in their eyes.
"so.."
"well i'm assuming you're here to say goodbye?"
"oh no, baby, you aren't getting rid of me that easily, Delphate may put up a fight but I’m better than her”
"sto- ..don't call me that-" They mutter, face heating up.
"aww, you look so cute"
"shut up- where's this all come from?"
"I’ve got nothing left to loose, love, so what’s the point in pretending to be professional anymore?”
"i see..?"
Silence fills the room again as Jupiter smirks at them as they try not to notice despite how red their face is.
"is there genuinely something you want then? You wouldn't visit me randomly out of the blue at 3AM.." They say, laughing a little.
"Don't make me have to show you"
"wha- please do, I am genuinely confused"
"Stand up"
They stand up, awkwardly fidgeting with their hands.
"what are you actually doi-"
She grabs their tie, pulls them in and kisses them.
"wha- I- uh- um-" They stutter, struggling to keep their composure as they grow very flustered.
"now it looks like you have lipstick on! how cute! but wouldn't your face look so much better covered in it?" She laughs.
"..excuse me what"
"and maybe your neck too, you know.."
"WHAT" They exclaim, face turning even more red.
"am i wrong though, love?"
"wh- I don't know.." They say.
"you get flustered too easily"
"i know, i know.."
"It's really cute, somehow even makes your face look better, even without my lipstick on it"
They keep blinking in pure shock.
"holy shit, this is actually happening- this is gonna end sexual, isn't it?" They mutter, face buried into their fingerless gloves.
"..well.. yes.. but is that really a bad thing?"
"..I-.." They sigh, face burning. "I don't even have words right now.."
"let me guess: you're 'too sober for this shi-'?"
"I love you, Jupiter" They blurt out, face burning.
It takes a second for Jupiter to recover from the shock, then she smiles, heart fluttering a little.
"Me too, Winters, why'd you think I'm here doing all of this?"
They laugh.
"wait, how'd you even get out of heaven?"
"doesn't matter, but I’m yours now”
Their face burns even more.
"never in my life did I think this would ever happen"
"pfft- speak for yourself"
Diamond laughs, then pauses.
"you know my species doesn't have reproductive organs, right?"
Jupiter's face falls a little.
I mean she knew this already but.. it wasn't really convenient to know at the time.
"..we'll make it work, just touch me or something"
They laugh, face burning.
"good enough for me..!"
She pulls them into another kiss, making their face go red again.
She had nothing to loose now, so what’s the point in staying professional?
