Go to God with a God
Navigating the heady waters of a true relationship was foreign sailing to Argo, but he believed it was one he was proceeding through smoothly enough.  He had, true to his word, attempted to disperse the Fan Club.  Unfortunately, many still gathered outside, though the number had thinned somewhat.  Some had taken it well, others had seemed disappointed, others had gotten angry, and a number acted as though he had not spoken at all.

He would seem to do something about that, though he was not sure what as of yet.

But tonight, he had other things on his mind.  Or rather, he had someone else on his mind: Harmony.  He had vowed to do whatever he could to make her happy, even if he did not always understand the whys and wherefores.  Case in point was tonight.  She had asked that he attend a church service with her and he had agreed.  Argo did not pretend to understand the God that Harmony worshiped, save that He was more unknowable, in his opinion, than the gods of his own pantheon or any of the others who existed.  No god that he knew of could claim to have met this God.

Out of deference to allowing Harmony to keep something of a low profile, he had dressed in mortal clothes (which he did possess), though he feared he was still too recognizable.

He waited in the living room for her to finish getting ready.

She took his hand quietly and said little for a few blocks as they walked home.

"I had no idea that he would see you as some sort of false idol. I'm sorry, Argo."

Argo gave her hand a reassuring squeeze. "It is nothing I have not heard before," he assured her. "But are you... all right?"

"Yeah. I'm ok. Just surprised. A little confused. I mean, you're not...sinful."

Argo shook his head. "It is nothing new. Many of the mortal faithful have had difficulty accepting those like me. They cannot reconcile their own faith with our existence, and thus lash out."

He smiled a small smile. "But I am glad you do not think me so. I would hate to bring shame upon thee."

"Oh Argo, you can't shame me. Look at how absolutely considerate you have been towards ever detail and aspect of this relationship? You could have just told me to deal with your immortal and godly ways." Harmony smiled up at him, her eyes sparkling playful for a moment.

Argo smiled. "It was my understanding," he said, playfully, "that you enjoyed some of those godly ways..."

"Oh!" Harmony's cheeks colored crimson. "Argo!"

Argo's smile diminished only slightly. "It this not true?"

"Well, yes it's true it's...just...Argo!" Her cheeks got pinker and she hid a little against his body. Truth was, though, she hadn't really thought about that having any particular connotation--god or mortal.
