A/N: Okay, so I really, really love this prompt I was given. This is set somewhere in the middle of the episode 'Hunger Pangs'. Oh, and at the end of this chapter there will be a question because I'm a curious person.

This prompt came from: TheVixxStarr

Possessive

It was around midday as Pythagoras walked down the streets. He took various twists and turns with Jason trotting behind him. He was looking around at everything with a new and fresh view. Everything smelt better, it was so much more vibrant and the breeze felt amazing across his face.

He kept a careful watch on his friend. Although friend seemed too weak of a term. He was his boyfriend, his lover or better yet his mate. Jason looked down and grinned to himself as he followed. Yes, his mate was a much better term. When he looked back up Pythagoras had stopped and Jason didn't realise quick enough as he head butted the back of Pythagoras' skull.

"Ah, Pythagoras! why'd you stop?" Jason grumbled as he rubbed his forehead with the palm of his hand. However, he had noticed with his nose buried into the man's blonde curls that his hair smelt rather nice. Pythagoras merely held up a hand in response to shut Jason up. He frowned and poked out from behind Pythagoras only to find another man stood in front of him.

"So, think you can help?" The man was asking with a bright smile.

"Of course, I can. It would be an honour." Pythagoras answered, his smile equally as happy. Jason frowned deeper. Who was this man talking to his mate? Why did he look so happy to be doing so? Why was Pythagoras so happy too?

Jason growled from behind Pythagoras, lunging forward aggressively. Pythagoras turned around quickly, pressing his hands against Jason's chest to stop him from ripping the other man to pieces. One of his fists flailed, his fingers locked into a clawing position but Pythagoras caught it quickly.

"My mate!" He shouted before letting out a snarl.

"Jason!" Scolded Pythagoras shouted back, his eyes locked onto Jason's own as he searched them for any sign of the human within. He felt the man's body relax under his grip. "You okay now?" He asked, his voice soft and concerned. Jason nodded. "I'm really sorry abou-" Pythagoras began to apologise to the man as he released Jason and turned to face him.

As soon as he let go Jason pulled his shoulders back and dodged around him. He leaped at the man, knocking him to the ground forcefully.

"Ah!" The stranger cried at out as his head hit the floor. Jason pinned his arms down with inhuman strength and sat on his legs. He bared his teeth and snarled at the man once more.

The stranger began to whimper, his eyes flecked with fear. Suddenly Pythagoras was upon him trying to pull Jason off the man quickly.

"Jason! Get off him!" He shouted, struggling to get a secure grip around Jason's wrist as he attempted to slash at the man's face. "It's okay! He wasn't trying to hurt me or take me away."

He tried to claw at the stranger once more but Pythagoras finally caught his hand into his own, yanking him off the man quickly. He didn't stick around for much longer and driven on by Pythagoras' chants of 'Go!" he got up and ran off down the street.

Pythagoras turned back to Jason properly, their hands to clasped together high above their heads as Jason watched the man run away. Suddenly he collapsed weakly onto Pythagoras who struggled to hold his weight up. He just about managed, pushing Jason onto his feet and waiting for him to regain his balance.

"Are you okay?" He asked quickly once Jason was stood by himself again. He turned away to check the man had completely gone.

Jason sighed audibly, wrapping his arms around Pythagoras from behind. He rested his chin on his shoulder.

"Yes, I'm really sorry."

"I know, you just need to stop growling at people... and attacking them." Pythagoras said firmly but his shoulders shook beneath Jason's chin as he struggled to contain a laugh.

"I just don't know what comes over me. It's an undeniable instinct to protect one's mate." He tried to explain and Pythagoras turned his head to meet his eyes. He frowned, his blonde hair falling across his eyes from the awkward angle.

"Mate?" He asked cautiously. Jason grinned.

"It feels right. Better than boyfriend anyway." He laughed and Pythagoras pecked his lips.

"I like it."

Jason sighed contently, nuzzling his nose into the side of Pythagoras's neck and issuing a layer of kisses up and down it.

"Nghh, Jason." Pythagoras sighed out, his eyes closing at Jason's touch.

A passerby walked past, their eyes locked onto the pair in confusion. Jason snapped his head sideways and bared his teeth with a low growl. The stranger coughed awkwardly and picked up pace with their eyes now glued to the ground.

"Jason!" Pythagoras laughed again, opening his eyes and turning around in his arms.

"Sorry, sorry!" Jason chuckled sadly, "I can't help it."


Okay, so my question is. What would you guys think about a Detective/Secret Agent Atlantis AU? It would be a separate story to these little ones. I have a plot in mind but what do you guys think about that?
