A/N: This is the last chapter! There is not a lot of romance because I wanted it to focus more on Hades seeing Persephone interacting with others and the effect that had on him. I'm going to be writing a long one-shot with the two of them that will be packed with romance, though. But, thank you so much to everyone who favorited, followed, and reviewed on this story. I am so grateful. I especially want to thank those of you who reviewed on every single chapter. I'll see you in the next story!

If Hades could describe Persephone in one word, he would not be able to. For there was no one word that was suitable for her. He could say she was pretty, but she was more than that. It was like everything she touched shined like the rays of the sun. She was elegance personified. She was beauty in its truest form. Her soul was so pure, and she enchanted all who she met. If all he did for the rest of his existence was stare into her eyes, he would have no complaints. When he had first brought her to the Underworld, he was concerned that someone who loved the sunlight would have no interest in a place that was described as gloomy and dismal.

He was terribly wrong.

She found beauty in every single thing. She described the River Styx as a never-ending flow of iridescent majesty. She found his palace charming and grand. The gems in encrusted in the cave walls sparkled for her and reflected in her eyes. Those big, beautiful eyes that stared into his soul. Dear Gaia, he was so in love. This goddess had him wrapped around her dainty finger.

Another thing he loved about her was her ability to gain the adoration of the other Underworld deities. When the agreement was struck and she returned to the Underworld to spend six months with him, she expressed concerns with being queen. Her main concern was not receiving the same love and adoration from the Underworld as she had given it. Hades assured her that even if they did not want to, he was their king and they would listen to him and in turn, her. She did not want that, though. She had told him she wanted their trust, their friendship. Hades let her interact with them and was thoroughly surprised with the results.

Cerberus, the great, guardian of the Underworld, was reduced to nothing more than a pup around her. She rubbed him and scratched him, calling him sweet names. He threw all three heads back and thumped his tail. He even laid down on his back for her and let him rub his stomach. He even licked her fiercely. He could tell she cared for him, and he could also rely on Cerberus to love her too and protect her.

He watched again as she talked to Thanatos about collecting souls, saw her face contort in worry for him when he described wars that would wipe out cities and the pain of having to see children pass on, never to live a full life. She hugged him and sympathized with him. Hades knew Thanatos was not used to these gestures and was amused when he awkwardly hugged her back. He did not miss the smile on his face. Later, the two talked. Thanatos informed Hades he would faithfully serve Persephone no matter what and congratulated him on his choice of queen. From then on, he noticed Thanatos was a little more lighthearted. He was happy for him.

One day he went down to consult with Charon only to find Persephone had beat him to it. He watched Persephone talk and talk. Charon did not seem to mind and only listened. The dead did not make for very good company. The ferryman must be pleased to have someone else to talk to. He gave them time to talk and approached Charon later. Charon informed him that she wanted to learn more about what he did. She wanted to hear stories and often checked on him. She was a good queen and he was glad that her gentle soul decided to take interest in him.

Lastly was Hecate. He knew the elder goddess had known Persephone for a long time and took her under her wing when she came to live in the Underworld. It was no surprise that she took an interest in what Hecate did too. The way her face scrunched up in concentration was so adorable that he almost came out of his hiding spot to scoop her into his arms. Instead he continued to look at the goddesses. Persephone and Hecate were sitting next to each other, Hecate reading off a book on the history of spells. Persephone looked like she was nodding off and with a wide yawn, she rested her head on Hecate's shoulder. Hecate paused in her reading before looking to Persephone. The younger goddess had a little smile on her face. Hades saw Hecate smile as well and put the book down to gently stroke Persephone's head. It was then that Hades decided to come out and take Persephone to her bed to rest.

As he looked at her sleeping form resting in his chambers, he could not help but feel very lucky. He was married to the most beautiful creature in all of creation. She possessed beauty not just on the outside, but on the inside. Anyone could see that she was perfect. He brushed his hand against her cheek, and she opened her eyes a bit. She gave him a gentle smile. He felt himself melt. He kissed her softly. Their love would be everlasting.
