Raiden has been wanting to hang out with Shiva for months even weeks on end.

He don't know why but that feeling of curiosity in his body and mind makes sense somehow.

The feeling about wanting to have some friends or even lover was something that he can shake off easily as a bug.

But here he is the urge has gotten stronger up until they've met at the center of the arena and could not help himself and touch.

It payed off in the end with Shiva being embarrassed and it's weirdly enough cute for him.

It was like someone triggered his own desires and changed it for their own gain.

At the same time this felt right for some reason and it tells him an even greater story of whomever this is.

That person must have control over fate and more than that.

"Now Shiva... you can go first with questions anything at all." Raiden explaining as Shiva sighing in anger.

"Ok! I want to know first your full name and what is clearly your intentions with these!" Shiva exclaimed as Raiden smiling now.

"Raiden Tomoe and my intentions are just to hang out with and maybe get to know you here!" Raiden answering as Shiva downed a cup of sake.

"Did you know any of these happening and did you have any ideas with how did this happened?" Shiva asking as Raiden looking oddly at him.

"I never knew about this but you saw it with your own two eyes with Kojiro and Poisy... well maybe someone stronger than you gods have a revenge plan on their hands!" Raiden answering as he smiles straight to the point.

"Confusing as hell! Do you know Jack the Ripper and Hercules?" Shiva asking as Raiden nodding in agreement.

"Yeah I know about them if you want to know or have any ideas with these happenings you can ask them but you have to change sides." Raiden answering as Shiva glaring at him.

"Do you know the title called God of Fates and Love? Is it related to what is happening right now?" Shiva asking clearly interested now.

"Well...that God was mentioned many times but I do have an idea about the relation clause the fates that other two couples have now." Raiden answering as Shiva nodding.

"Is it the secret between Jack the Ripper and Hercules?" Shiva asking as Raiden nodding.

They fell silent after the conversation and Shiva drank another cup of sake again.

Shiva thought that this information Raiden has is very interesting.

But he can't or feel that he does not want to say this to the other Gods at all.

These feelings!? God of Fates?? What is happening within this arena now??

Did that unknown God planned this all along and made sure that all of the God and Men feels whatever he says or do??

So many questions ran through Shiva's head he wants Raiden to reveal whatever that the other is hiding.

What if all of the world is also being dragged within these plans??

"Who was the God of Fates? Did Hercules knew about him?" Shiva asking as Raiden smiling.

"Yeah Hercules-san knew about him even befriend him at some point but he said he never knew about that God's name or anything at all." Raiden answering as he downed sake.

"Is he also called Ruler of Fates? Did Zeus knew about him?" Shiva asking now very very interested.

"Yup basically! By the way when did you hear that title and Zeus knowing about him?" Raiden now asking as he looking oddly again.

"Zeus actually knew about God of Fates before and he just put as stories for aphrodite to hear." Shiva answering as he looks embarrassed and Raiden just nodding.

"You know Shiva-san you're bad at lying and maybe you overheard about it with Jack-san and Hercules-san!" Raiden teasing as Shiva gets red in the face.

"Fuck you!! But back to the topic what happened between the two Gods Aphrodite and That Fate one?" Shiva dodging the teasing as Raiden gives him another round of sake.

"Well there is a battle with who will get the God of Love title and then I don't the next part but you figure it out yourself." Raiden answering as Shiva downed more sake.

Raiden sighing in his head at least he could get Shiva to talk more with him at least.

Looking at Shiva he' looks like he's slowly getting drunker and drunker right  now.

He'd never intentionally made the sake stronger maybe Shiva has a slightly low drinks tolerance.

Anyway the questions he'd just asked are getting more and more interesting.

He do wonder how much he can give out but at least he's getting Shiva's trust at least a bit higher now.

But somehow he can feel that Shiva won't say it to the other Gods at all.

Their progress over the days has been with Shiva being extremely violent and moody.

So seeing him interested and calm was a thing to behold right now.

"I'd have my fill of information so you should ask me about something equal exchange then, what about it?" Shiva asking as he smiles.

"Ok then~ simple questions first... do you like the sake?" Raiden asking as Shiva looks away.

"I like it thank you every much what is this flavor by the way?" Shiva firing back as relaxes more into the futon.

"Oh~ this strawberry flavor this one is not as strong as the normal sake is." Raiden explaining as he watches Shiva get even more comfortable.

"Did you have any parents before?" Raiden asking as Shiva tensed.

"I do have them but they were somehow so distant from me considering that I was the God of Destruction and all that shit!" Shiva answering as he looks away.

"I guess your wives was the only the closest affection you ever had..." Raiden trailing off as Shiva still looking away.

"I could stop asking questions you know just say the word ok." Raiden adding as Shiva still silent.

"It's fine it's just that I'd never felt comfortable with anyone before and to confirm it's not because of the sake or anything it's just a weird feeling ya know!" Shiva exclaimed as he blushes bright red and making Raiden smile.

"Can I know anymore about you this time no teasing from me I promise!" Raiden promising as Shiva hiding a smile and blushing.
