They like/love each other, but with how little they know about each other, I know it's not the true kind of love that I slowly like to work towards. It's the whole "crush" thing. What I meant is, because I know Ares and Carol got something going on that if Ares has his son pop up, usually children turn chicks off. So then they may not have anything period and it just brings so much other kind of drama, thus the baby-daddy/baby-momma drama, and that's not something I'm interested in RPing lol.<br/><br/>I don't think I could even RP it without setting fire to the Marvel comics and using Greek Mythology or whatever. It's just too vague and chaotic. Just thinking about it gives me a headache.
