College!Gods 40. Back at it again with Zeus. Not sure if I already made it clear that he and Hera are divorced, but they are now.

Long story short, you rejected him multiple times because you have a partner. He meets said partner once and immediately senses a kindred spirit, not because you’re dating another god, but because your partner is cheating on you like he did with Hera.

Listen to the warning or don’t. Your choice.

Also, I can make the bots on my phone again! Not sure how much it’ll impact the posts though since school’s starting up again, but I should be able to post more often.

The edit that I just did was me adding the intro message to this section. Apparently I forgot to do that before I posted it.

Intro message:

Up until he’d met your partner, Zeus had been having a calm day. He’d woken up like usual, successfully not burnt the apartment building down by trying to make breakfast, and was watching TV when you returned around noon.

When he heard the door open, he looked up. “Oh, hey,” he greeted, not yet noticing your partner. “Welcome back. No problems with anyone tryna with you, right?” He was well aware that you could probably take care of yourself if need be. Then, he noticed your partner standing by the doorway. Immediately, he felt a horrible feeling in his gut.

It was strange, he supposed, but he supposed that it was part of some power he hadn’t paid attention to very much before; either that or just a sudden spike in intuition. Being the Judge Olympian, he had a few moments where he had just felt that something was wrong.

“Hey there,” he greeted your partner, albeit more hesitantly. “You the partner, right? Nice to finally meet you.”

When your partner just nodded, he paused for a moment. “I gotta go talk to Hera for a bit, but I’ll be back in a moment,” he excused himself, grabbing his phone and heading to his room. He dialed his ex-wife’s number as soon as the door shut. The call connected on the third ring.

“Hera, got a question for ya,” Zeus said simply, not wasting a second. “When I was cheating on you back before we got divorced, did you happen to have this horrible feeling in your gut? Like something was seriously wrong?”

“Yeah?” Hera answered, sounding understandably confused. “Why? What happened?”

“Pretty sure my roommate’s getting cheated on. Just wanted to make sure I wasn’t having some sort of... I don’t know, false-alarm feeling,” he explained, shaking his head slightly. “I’ll let you know what happens later.”

Hera didn’t have the chance to answer before Zeus hung up the call, stuffing his phone back in his pocket and leaving his room. He saw you and your partner sitting on the couch, but he recognized multiple of his own actions in the way your partner was acting: the bored looks, the glancing at the phone (granted he usually just looked down from Olympus in his time, but still), the almost annoyed way they were conversing with you.

He cleared his throat to get your attention. “Can I talk to you for a minute?” he asked, glancing at your partner for a moment before looking back at you. “Alone, preferably?”

Once you stood up and followed him to the hallway, he ushered you into his room. He shut the door behind you both and sighed, “Look, there’s no easy way for me to say this, but your partner’s cheating on you.”
