Chapter Text
Cupid has never seen such a peculiar case as yours and Satoru's. She’s been told many times to intervene already—to put an end to this cycle of chasing and pining. She agrees; she really does. This has been going on for centuries—or has it been a millennium already?
She fought the urge to laugh out loud when she saw you slapping a hand to your forehead in frustration when Satoru ignored the prospect you sent his way.
She’s pretty sure you’re cursing her and Satoru in your mind right now.
And is that a grin on Satoru’s lips? Naughty, naughty.
Cupid giggled to herself as she drank the ambrosia a servant had poured on her drink.
Oh, Satoru is making his way to you while you’re busy contemplating your existence. You sidestepped when you noticed (why you even do that when mortals wouldn’t see or touch you is beyond her), and Satoru bit his lower lip.
You’ve always had the uncanny ability to ignore Satoru’s advances and turn a blind eye to his feelings, despite being a god under her control. It’s frustrating and cute to see that it still hasn’t changed even after all these years.
Cupid taps the table in contemplation when she notices something… about your mannerisms. You’ve been keeping your distance from Satoru for a while now. At first, she thought it's because you're mad that you're stuck by him til he finds his soulmate, but seeing your face brings her to a different conclusion. Is that a blush on your cheek? And what’s that guilty look and something else in your eyes?!
Of course she knows what it is! You’ve fallen! Why else would you feel guilty looking at Satoru? Why else would you be blushing?!
It’s as clear as day to her. She’s the Goddess of Love after all.
This is a joyous occasion. Finally! Now, to make you realize it yourself (which could take a few years or even a lifetime, really, with how stubborn and in denial you are),
Maybe they’re right. Maybe it’s high time that she, the Goddess of Love, intervenes with you two. There’s only so much pining she can take before she explodes. She loves a good slow burn, but this slow burn has been taking its sweet time.
She would help you two... or not.
Because the way that Satoru looks at you with adoration and patience in his eyes makes her heart ache. This man has been in love with you for years, and he's not showing any signs of impatience or frustration, even when you look so guilty and conflicted for having feelings for him. Cupid can wait until you realize your feelings and until you two get your happily ever after. Until then, she's going to watch over you and Satoru like she has always done.
You'll realize your feelings someday.
