An alarm started to wail like a siren, dreaming of a car crashing down the ocean.
A Brunette bearded man wakes up on his alarm clock in shock, on his penthouse, With two naked women side by side, cuddling him. He sighs. He stands up, revealing a well build physique like that of an athlete as he goes out of his bed as he says,
"Wake up... go tell your girls party is over." said by him.
She covers herself ad sits down. 'Yes Sir Mars." said by her as Mars goes inside the bathroom and take a shower.
He looks at the mirror, on his deep blue eyes as he looks at his cleanly shaven face. Still having PTSD from his dreams and the car submerging in a blue distant dream.
Later
He's doing push ups. It seems he was alone in his house, only on his red boxer briefs as he lays on the floor on a blue rainy day, looking at the gloomy city, atop the best view.
Imagining his wife embracing him on a sunny, warm yellow orange sunset...On a Warm Yellow orange sunrise Flash back
"Hey babe..." said by a Blonde girl as she kisses him on the cheek. Seeing a Younger Mars laying on the floor as they cuddle. They stand up. "Selene, Come on, I still have a small company to run..." replied a younger Mars. "You're all work, and no play..." said by her as they stare and she bits her lower lip as giggles are heard from the room.
In the Gloomy Blue present. Mars was alone on the living room on a blue rainy day. He wears a white tank top, get some cereal as he sits on the table. He looks upfront.
On a sunny flash back. "Selene! That's gross... Ketchup on cereal?" asked Mars. "Yes! Here, try it!" said by Selene as she takes a spoonful and gives it to Mars
Back in the Present Blue Gloomy rainy day. "Selene! No! Gross! GROSSS!!!" said Mars echoing inside his head. Mars just stares to the ether, as a tear flows down from his left eye.
Later, He's wearing a suit with red tie. He drives his car with a bouquet of flowers on the left chair. There are Sunflowers of different shades of color. He was driving for miles and miles as he stops on gated flower field. Full of daisy and a Gravestone.
Mars stand in front of the Grave stone; Selene de Leon.
He kisses his hand and put it on her grave as a Blonde tall muscular cowboy, riding a horse look at him. "Huh… Someone is visiting Selly." said by him as he goes down, with a stoic demenaour. Mars looks back. "This is new, I never seen Selene having a visitor, well, some flowers though..." said by Mars. "Name's Ares... Selly is kind of, like a big sister to me, foster to be honest; she was an orphan, I'm one of her foster siblings when she was younger till she moved out. Well, technically me and my siblings are all foster children, orphans." said Ares. "She did mentioned that. Nice to put a Face on the name. I'm Mars...Mars De Leon." replied Mars. Ares forwards his hand for a handshake as Mars obliged. Ares tips his hat. "See you around, Cowboy, if you get curious about Selly, my in is in the beach line few mile ahead. It will be rainy soon; Maybe, Grab a drink or two." replied Ares as he rides back his horse and go to the mountain road.
"Quite a Charmer. Oh Selene, your little brother is something else." then Mars sits next to his Wife's grave. He sighs and smile as he caresses the grave fondly as he looks at the sunset on the shore nearby. The skies is clouding up making a peach, yellow,pink sunset. As it starts to rain; Mars grabs his pocket, realizing there is no key. He looks at his car, the keys was inside.
"Fuck!" Mars looks around if there is any shelter of sorts; But he found none. He sits on the bench and gave up. As he looks at the vast ocean. The rain flows and flows as the night time hugs him, on it's cold blue embrace, as the lamp post near him; warming his cold night a little. "Selen..." said by him as the clouds spread its wings, glittering a small beam of the moon, cheekily peeking on the night's dark blue grasp.
"I mean, fuck it, I'm wet already." said Mars as he removes his clothes, leaving only his red boxer briefs, hugging his lower waist as he puts his clothes on the bench. A shadow above him shields him a little from the rain. He looks back. It was Ares. "Dude, I told you my house is nearby, down the shore, about half mile away, I told you that because it's going to rain." said Ares. Mars laughs a little. "Thanks, I'm a fool thinking of, something else." replied Mars. Ares eyes bulges and he giggled, "Come on…" replied Ares as Mars walks together, Ares looks at him from foot to head, on his red boxer briefs, while carrying his wet clothes.
Ares sighs as he slowly removes his waterproof leather jacket and cover Mars with it. Mars looks at him. "Just don't talk, I just don't like Selly's husband being wet and cold, she will ghost me from her grave." said Ares. Mars giggled. "That really sounds true. Ares looks at him with a smile then looks away.
He looks at a Cabin.
Ares starts a fire on the chimney, arrange it to have a drying wrack. Then he removes his shirt and put it next to it. "Give me yours too, to dry it up" said Ares as Mars gives it to him. Ares removes his pants, revealing a white boxer brief. Mars looks at him from head to toe and looks away. "Hope you don't mind, my working pants are wet, only coat is waterproof as he goes inside his room and get tank tops. He gives the other one to Mars. "Thanks." said Mars as he wears it. Ares gets some coffee the he stares at him making Mars a bit awkward.
"Is there something in my face?" asked Mars. "Nah, You kind of, look better if you have a beard." said Ares as he drinks coffee ,and wears his tank top. Mars giggled a little. "That's weird. But, I guess... thanks?" asked Mars. "You cannot handle compliments don't you?" asked Ares as he giggles and sits infront of the table facing him. "Okay, now , what's funny?" asked Mars. "I can't imagine, this is the guy she married. No offense, ehe talk a lot about you to my Mother and her twin." said Ares.
"Mene? I met her a few times… how old are you anyways, since you are the youngest among the three?" asked Mars. "I'm 32, just last January. I presume you are 38, 3 years older than Selly." Implied Ares as his sips his coffee. "Yes. Long story short, She and I met on a funny circumstance." Said by Mars as he starts to breathe heavily.
"You okay? I mean, you been drenched in the cold rain… Wait, sorry, I can only offer my bed, you need to rest." Said Ares as he goes to Mars. "Oh, sorry, I'm just tired, been on a long way ride to… see her, here." Said Mars as Ares carries him. "Please, don't mind if I do…Just an emergency." Said Ares as he puts Mars on his bed.
"You better remove that is wet, and I will dry it." Said Ares as he gives Mars a pair of Red shorts. "Thanks…" said Mars as Ares looks back, while Mars removes his wet red boxer briefs and change with shorts. "Thanks" said Mars as Ares take his under wear and put it on the drying wrack. "Good night." Said Ares as he closes the door and put and check the wet clothes.
He takes his phone and look at pictures of Selene,Mene and him with their foster mother. "Selly…" said by him as he kisses Selly on the Phone picture.
Mars wakes up the Next Morning. He realizes he is in someone's bed. There is a pillow lying next to him, he raises his body a little seeing Ares sleeping on the floor, snoring a little. Mars smiles as he covers him with the blanket and put a pillow on his head. He goes to the living room. He takes his dried clothes and wears it.
He shivers, it was very cold outside now. He looks around, almost no one is around except a port on the distance. It was a nice sunrise he sat down on the porch and smile a little. He looks at the back, seeing his car being towed by the Martian Lion Corp. They noticed him. He waves at them.
They wave back. Ares wakes walks towards them. "Thanks Ares. I better go." replied Mars as he signs someone. A guy in suit goes to him with an expensive looking fur coat. He gives it to Ares. "Thanks, In a way, you remind me on how thoughtful Selene is..." replied Mars. "No, keep it. You are like, foster family to me; more of a friend of sorts. Comeback anytime." said Ares. Mars smiles a little as he goes away to another car.
In the Martian Lion Company
Mars was pondering in the meeting room. "President Mars?" asked by a secretary. "Oh, I'm sorry... I was just... Thinking." said Mars. "Oh no, the scary part is starting!" whispered by a younger woman. "Minerva... I'm not scary." said Mars with a very intimidating pressure surrounds the room. "I'm just...thinking. You know what, I'll have a vacation. Vice President Minerva. Is in charge."
In the Cabin
Ares was chilling on the Cabin as a woman sees him. "Hey there handsome, my girls and I want some fun? Want to join us?" asked her along with few women. "Sorry ladies, I'm too old to party, enjoy the beach though, if you need help, I'll be here." said Ares. She giggles. Ares winks as he covers his face with a cowboy hat.
Someone walks towards him, with rattles of few beer can. Ares takes of his hat. "You promised me a drink right?" asked Mars. "Fuck yeah." said Ares as they sit next to each other and drink beer.
They start laughing. Ares and Mars giggles drunkenly as they drink for hours and hours. Mars rests his head on the table.
"Hehe...I'm too drunk I started to say none-sense. But yes,Selene..." said by him as he yawns. "Is too kind for her own good." said Mars again as he yawns as he looks to the right. Ares was also resting his head on the table, staring at him. Out of drunkenness, they laugh again.
They stare at each other. "Why are you crying?" asked Mars. "Me? No, why are you crying?" asked Ares they wipe their tears. "Hey, no, but seriously. Why are we crying?" asked Ares. "I missed Selene. Maybe because you and her are family, your values are the same..." saida Mars. Ares hugs him. Come's so on. There there..." said Ares. Mars started to hiccups they laugh."I should put you in bed." implied Ares. Mars giggles. "Thanks... But I don't want you to be on the floor either." replied Mars. "Oh come on, I'm used to it." replied Ares as he opens his room and put Mars on his bed.
Ares takes a comforter and Pats it down next to his bed. Mars stands up and joins him. "No seriously, take your bed." insisted Mars. Ares giggled, "Goodness. I insist, you're a guest."said Ares. "Oh come on." said Mars as he moves closer to Ares. "You know, sometimes, you need to be selfish." said Mars as he looks at him.
"I am though.Maybe." replied Ares as he looks At Mars. They stare at each other. "Imagine, we are idiots, there is a bed next to us but we cramp together here..." said Mars. I knew, I kind of, love the company... a good company." said Ares. "Thanks. I don't feel, as lonely too." said Mars as they look up and started to close there eyes.
The next morning
Ares and Mars was very close to each other. Mars wakes up first as he notices Ares looks so calm and close to his chest in a fetal position and shaking a little. Mars realizes something as he holds Ares hand, Mars holds Ares' cheek and smile. Ares murmus as he stops shaking and hugs his shoulder. Mars kisses him in the forehead as Ares stops shaking. It was a bit pitiful, but,he remembered that their Foster dad was abusive towards Ares.
Few hours later
Mars was eating a sandwich as Ares wakes up. "Sup sleepy head." said Mars. "Damn, that was... Did we just drink a whole barrel?" asked Ares. "Pretty mucch yes, the hangover iss... too much for being 30+, here!" said Mars as he hands a sandwich. "Noice, thanks." said Ares as they eat, looking at the ocean on an orange and vanilla blue and deep blue sunrise. "This is nice." said Mars he looks at Ares. Ares looks at him while munching a sandwich as they both smile.
"So why you are here though? I mean, you are welcome to stay...I just, have one bed though, I ain't rich." said Ares. "Nah, I'll make you into my Pillow..." said Mars as he laughs. "What thus that even mean?" asked Ares.
"Nah, I won't be staying that long, I need to run an empire." said Mars as he walks away towards his car and drive home. Ares smiles and look at him go away. Ares flusters as he says, "Pillow. Idiot."
In the City

"Look, I'm not going to get mad, you just need to tell me what's what?" asked Mars. Achilles looks at Mars. "H...ha....HAPPPY BIRTHDAY!!!" shouted all of them as people started to gather with birthday cakes and food. Mars giggles. "Hey! Hey! I know you been lonely so..." said by one of his friends as strippers comes out.
In the Cabin
Ares looks at the Cold Sea on the vanilla Blue twilight as Women walking around looks at him. "Hey Cowboy, want to join us?" ask them. "I mean, why not...: I have some time." said Ares as they go to a Tavern.
Guess who's there in the Tavern
Mars, along with women next to him, hamburgers him, he was very drunk. They are blond women, that, looks oddly like Selene. Mars and Ares' eyes catches glimpse they both pause as Ares tips his hat to Mars as he dances with the girls to a cowboy dance with the women, side by side with him. Mars drinks beer and continue to enjoy himself. He partied so did Ares, in the arms of women.
Then they music continued. Mars was exhausted. "I thought you have an empire to run."said Ares. "Yup, it sucks ass, but, the board, my family, everyone decided for me, to at least have an actual full week... like what I said to them." said Mars. "As usual, if you want to join me in the cabin, that would be great..." said Ares. Mars giggles as he moves closer and they cheers and chug beer.
