"Can I be given the chance to earn your love too?"
Aphrodite was stunned to hear that request. He did not know if Apple truly meant it, or he should be wary. After all, Apple could be manipulative as proven by how he tricked Somner into thinking he was Hermes.
But then he saw Apple's thoughts through his ability…
["I want to learn how to love and be loved."]
Such a simple thought, and yet so powerful given the context.
Aphrodite nodded gingerly. "Alright… But that doesn't mean you'll automatically get it. Still, since we do know each other already, I guess that saves us the 'getting to know' phase."
Apple suddenly beamed. His genuine smile was like that of a wolf or a lion, there was something adorable about it but at the same time eerie. But then Aphrodite also realized that it was simply just his assumptions that made it scary, and once he got past that…
It was pretty cute.
"So… What exactly do I do to earn your love?" Apple asked.
