a slow breath, and it's apollo's voice that he focuses on instead. a balm to his anger, despite knowing how tense his husband is. how equally ready he is to attack the other man.
well, that's also something he'd very much like to see.]
Couldn't let you have all the fun.

(his body tenses, fists tightening. the computer may not be working for him right now, but he doesn't need it to tear his opponent down. to protect what's his. he's better than that.)]
You touch him again, kid, and I'll be the one toasting marshmallows off your burning corpse.
[because as much as he may want to protect apollo, the man is more than capable of doing that for himself. in far more heat-fueled ways.]
