Zephyrus holds Ganymede tight, flying fast. He finds exactly the sort of spot he's looking for - a hollow clearing surrounded by tall tree and thick brambles. A cage of growth. He drops Ganymede into it... from enough height to shake him as he lands.

Ganymede wakes slowly, blinking in the sunlight on his face. He's jolted awake when he realizes his arms are bound above his head, rendering him prone and unable to sit up.

And then he sees Zephyrus, and all confusion vanishes.

"Zephyrus, let me go," he says, pulling his legs up to give himself leverage. He can't see the stake his hands are tied to, but he can feel it's wood. He might be able to break it, or pull it free of the ground. "Don't do this."

"You could have spared yourself this." Zephyrus answers, gripping Ganymede's ankle and pulling him back to a prone position. "If you had given yourself to me freely, I might even have let you enjoy it."

Ganymede kicks out viciously when Zephyrus pulled his ankles, eyes flying wide in surprise and fear. "Don't," he says. "You don't want me, Zephyrus, I am not Hyacinthus."

"I know who and what you are. Whore." He bats Gaymede's kick away. "Noble, beautiful, pure. You, are another god's leftovers. Just like he would have become." He pulls off Gaymede's shoes and throws them into the bushes.

"Get off!" Ganymede's yelling becomes more frantic as Zephyrus tugs off his shoes, pulling at the stake his hands are tied to.

"Leave me alone!"

[thewestwind]

"When I'm done with you." Zephyrus answers coolly, reaching for Ganymede's waistband. "Then I'll leave you alone."

[the_cupbearer]

"No!"

Ganymede kicks hard when Zephyrus bends close enough to reach his waist, eyes round and frightened; his breath is quick, fluttering like a frantic trapped moth within his ribs.

"Let me go, Zephyrus, this isn't what you want," he says, half-pleading.
