Dionysus POV:
The most cliché way to start a story is with a dark and stormy night.
That said it was a dark and stormy night. The one problem? Apollo was at Camp half blood after his trials. He was scared of thunder.
Dionysus usually controlled the weather in camp but Zeus was angry at Hera for the war with Gaia and her involvement; (annoying that Zeus blamed Apollo, what was done was done) but Dionysus could not control the thunder in camp when it was caused by Zeus' anger.
Because of the thunder Apollo wasn't hanging out with his children and that one gremlin what was her name… Keg?
It didn't matter to Dionysus. Apollo was in the big house with him and Chiron. They had decided to watch a movie together. The question was what movie? And obviously as a joke Dionysus suggested the Disney Hercules movie.
The reason why this was meant to be a joke was the fact that it was incredibly inaccurate.
‘Zeus not cheating? And him being Hera’s kid! What was Disney thinking?!’ Quoting Ares from when he was forced to watch it when it first came out (don't ask), proceeding to make a twitter war about it. Because that is just what he does.
Popcorn was quickly made and the two gods were on the couch with Chiron in his wheelchair because there are no chairs for centaurs. (Someone should ask cabin 9 to help with that, maybe the boy, the fire one)
The couch was somewhat small for the two adult gods, probably because it was made for humans. Gods are usually a bit taller.
Apollo was in a more Lester-ish form, his hair brown and his eyes a darker blue than usual, but tanned like normal, he was in a black T-shirt and jeans. His scars from being mortal were visible, they had changed from pink to gold, representing his change back to godhood.
Dionysus was in the form he used to have in Greece, tall with dark wavy hair to his shoulders and purple eyes. He also wore jeans with a T-shirt but his shirt had an AMAZING slogan on it. [Wine a bit, you'll feel better]
(shut up Apollo, your jokes are worse)
But they were watching Disney Hercules (The name was his Roman name for a starter)
It was the one movie the two hadn't already watched, as the god of the arts and the god of theatre, they usually watch every movie when they come out- it's almost part of their jobs at this point.
(Technically Dionysus would be the god of movies? They somewhat share the role)
They were about 20 minutes into the movie, Apollo was leaning against him half asleep, he could barely ever sit through a whole movie, usually from being too busy. Dionysus shifted so that Apollo was almost lying down against him and shifted to get comfortable, reaching over the armrest to grab some popcorn from the bowl without looking back. His hand brushed against Chiron's, they both looked at each other and smiled.

When the movie had finished Apollo was asleep.
Dionysus looked at Chiron, ”you weren't even in the movie? The hell was that satyr meant to be…”
“Yeah, the movie was bad. I understand why Ares got so upset when Hermes made him watch it”, replied Chiron.
“How about we head to bed,” Dionysus said, sitting up, trying to not stir Apollo, ”I'll carry Sunny up.”
Luckily the thunder had stopped so Pollo would be fine on his own, thought Dionysus as he carried Apollo to his room- well it was the guest room but Apollo had stayed round every night for a couple months so it was basically his- and dumped him on top of the covers. He slept like that anyways, something about overheating.
The night was calm after that, Artemis drove the moon chariot while everyone rested peacefully.
