A match of Senet beneath the first morning light. The Moon God and his pupil share a quiet story as they await the rise of the Sun, readying themselves for a new day of duty. Beyond the gates of Aker, another battle has passed.
Gnashing your ceramic teeth, picked up a shirt
Mandelstam's book you put under the slanted shelf
Have this weird absolutely-no-composition doodle I'm out
How I imagine her
She's very teenage girlhood essence to me

ra is someone who is self-aware of his handsomeness. he kind of has to be; he's not exactly omnipotent but he just knows. it fuels his vanity and definitely inflates his ego, but he's not selfish. when he was younger and the king of egypt, he certainly was reckless. being a god, especially a creator god, who was revered among humans definitely went to his head, and as a result he's had a couple flings. none of them meant anything to him, and they certainly don't now—those humans have long since been dead, and he's got more pressing issues to worry about.
gods don't experience attraction like humans do, especially romantic attraction. this is true for much older gods of the ennead, but the five younger siblings and their children are more in tune to more human-like feelings. for the most part, gods pair up together because they fulfil ma'at, and that in and of itself is incredibly broad. not to say that gods cannot love each other deeply and as passionately, but there is a sort've quiet understanding that this is your partner for life and they will always be by your side. no need for anything flashy.
creator gods take this one step further: they simply have no need for a partner. they have no desire to seek out their "other half" to complete themselves—it's redunant because they already are. ma'at is fulfilled, what more does one need? again, not to say they are incapable of feeling such things—there are plenty exceptions to the rule. it's just highly unlikely. think of them as asexual, basically.
what ra looks for in a relationship is an equal. certainly not a human and not any other god. finding an equal to a creator god is hard enough—the only equivalent to him would be another creator god. there are plenty in the pantheon, but ra isn't looking for a relationship; he just wants it to happen, to fall into his lap. eventually, he does get what he wants, but he feels conflicted about it.
his partner is understanding to a fault, ra thinks. they accept his false gifts of love and affection without a complaint; they even know there is no meaning behind those words and actions. so why doesn't he put an end to this charade and call off their relationship? in theory, it should be easy; they agreed that if it didn't work out, there would be no hard feelings. yet, ra's guts squeeze and he feels sick thinking about it. he keeps giving them useless gifts and dishonest praises in the hopes of seeing them smile.
one day, it all kind of hits him—he's in love, actually. he isn't stupid, he's just been denying it for as long as he could. there isn't any rules about dating another creator god, and it certainly isn't against ma'at. ra doesn't have internalized homophobia either, and has never had any issues with same-sex relationships. it's just... strange, to him. he's never understood the concept of crushes or of love or of being in a relationship at all, but hathor had described it to him a long time ago when he did ask. love is as easy as breathing, she had said. it's a feeling you know deep inside of you that permeates your bones. it is the warmth of the sun against your skin, the feeling of being satisfied after a large meal. it doesn't, and it has never needed to be "romantic"—it is just something you know.
later on, he confesses the depth of his feelings. he has always felt bad for essentially leading them on even if it was consensual, but they simply smile. they're just glad that their feelings were at least reciprocated—it's the bare minimum for this type of relationship.
