There is a pretty long flashback of Ares and Aphrodite when they were god. So, don't get confuse!!

--------------------------

There were many gods and goddesses reside in the upper realm. However, like mortal, those divine people also had their end and time. No one were immortal, it was a rule set for them. Their lives also have time limit equal to human, no one can escape the cycle of birth and reborn. In that realm, however, have many gods with different strength and kind of beauties. Among those divine figures have a goddess whose beauty surpassed all. Long platinum blonde hair was always seen to be braided like a mermaid. She was always adorned in a rare pearls and jewelry, dressed in the finest silk made from rare and magical material. 

No one can escape her charm, no one can take their eyes off her beauty, no one is an exception, not even the cruelest, bloodthirsty and ruthless god among all, the god of war, Ares. Him, who has the reputation of the most ruthless god, destroying realm and recreate them, hands soak in the blood of enemies, mortal or gods also can't seem to resist her beauty and smile. How could a bloodthirsty savage god like him meddle with the goddess of beauty like her? Yet, he can't seem to take his eyes off that tall yet so small in his hands figure? He can only admired from afar. Because he can't take his eyes off her.

Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty, elder twin of the god of beauty, Adonis. All her whole life, she only knows fun and happiness. The moment the sun rise, she will immediately dress herself up in another beautiful dress, putting on makeup despite her face was already beautiful enough without makeup, adorned herself in gems and pearls. What else could she ask for if her life was already the best? Singing and dancing to the music Apollo played and party along side of other gods and goddesses. Having every fun moment with her brother as they discuss about their lives after rebirth. But, Aphrodite also yearn for something else, something that fill her heart and warm her whole. The kind of feeling that isn't a stranger to anyone but pretty hard to find someone to share heart-throbbing feeling with, and that is love.

If only if she knew there is someone was always having a hard time, keeping their eyes off her? 

That day arrived. On that certain moon festival night in human realm held by the villagers inside the small village, Aphrodite descend from god realm and blend in the crowd of human, having fun like how human do. As she was dancing and singing, laughing and giggling, her figure brush past a muscular body whose arm wrapped tightly around her slim small waist. Black raven hair ran down to his neck, bang covering his forehead, ruby eyes shone under the light of lanterns and moonlight from above. No one could say anything, one thing for sure, she falls in love with him as he falls in love with her deeper than before. How can anyone resist that smile or those purple like amethyst eyes? 

On that faithful night, two gods fall in love but their love did not end well....but maybe in their next life, maybe they can finally be together till the end. 

-------------------------------

Ares slowly opens his eyes, finding himself in the same empty classroom as before he fell asleep. These days, he kept seeing weird dreams of a couple. Not sure why he saw such disgusting dream, he isn't someone to be involved in romance (Boi, you will). And, he isn't someone to believes in such things as fate or soulmate. Soulmate, his ass. Just find someone whom you can settle in with and boom, done. No waiting for shitty thing like your fated one. 

He groggily got up, feeling all sleepiness haven't disappeared. He'll save those sleepiness later for tonight in his warm soft bed. Ares twist the doorknob open to get suddenly faced with a short girl with wavy long blonde hair, two amethyst shone innocently, startled and afraid of his tall self. He looked down at the blondie who bite her lips nervously as she step back and aside to create a room for him to exit. 

He wasn't that ignorant to people's existence so he obviously knew who this is. Aphrodite Rowland, the daughter of marquis Rowland. She ran into the classroom as soon as two of his feet step outside. Ares rest his back against the wall of the classroom outside, waiting to see what she gets. When she walks out of the classroom with two books, seem to be a novel, smiling all happy-lucky going unaware he was watching. 

She ran to the opposite where he stood, skipping and humming. He tilt his head a bit, not knowing how does she not notice. He shook his head, whistling at thought of seeing her again. This isn't the first time he saw her anyway, he always saw her inside the academy, laughing and joking around with her friends. 

Perhaps, he'll go and see her in private sometimes, requesting her to sing him a song or help him with a school subject. It wasn't so bad seeing her fiddles her fingers and bite her pink lips nervously { He's probably awoken his dacryphilia kink when he made her cries one time because he was being harsh on her on their first night after they married. This is an unnecessary information}.
