Phoe's Tumblr Drabbles

Percy was confused. His alpha had been behaving weirdly. Every time Percy came to camp and tried to spend time with his boyfriend, Malcolm would dodge him. Tell him he was busy with camp counselor duties – now that Annabeth had left New York to go to college in New Rome – or had to study for his high school finals. At first, Percy had dismissed it, because yeah he knew how busy camp-life could get. The more often it happened, the more suspicious he got.

"Mal, do you wanna go to the lake with me?" asked Percy with a grin.

"I'm sorry I'm busy," replied Malcolm shortly.

With a frown and determination did Percy grab the book in Malcolm's hand and take it away, putting it aside. When Malcolm looked up displeased, Percy just climbed into his lap, putting his knees on either side of Malcolm's thighs. Then, he wrapped his arms around Malcolm's neck.

"Nope," declared Percy, his fingers playing with the soft little curls in the nape of his alpha's neck. "I'm done being ignored by my boyfriend. You will have to explain yourself to me, because I am not going to move away from this very, very comfy spot until you explain why you're avoiding me."

The alpha made a face, his hands on Percy's hips as though he wanted to lift Percy off. How cute of him. Percy adjusted his position so he could wrap his legs around Malcolm's waist. The blonde always commented on how much he loved Percy's strong thighs. Right now, they were keeping him from lifting the omega off and putting him aside. That only made Malcolm glare harder.

"Please, Percy, it's nothing, just-" Malcolm grunted in frustration.

"Just go away?" finished Percy for him. "No. If you want to break up with me, then break up with me. Tell me you don't like me anymore. But this? I can't deal with this."

The alpha beneath him faltered and averted his eyes. "It's not... I love you, Percy. I love you a lot. I just... I'm... You shouldn't love me. You're the savior of Olympus, the hero of two wars."

"So what?" Percy blinked confused, nuzzling his alpha's neck.

"You are like the most desired unmated omega of our generation. And..." Malcolm paused, averting his eyes. "We went to New Rome, to look at the college together last month, remember? And every Roman we met... they were all so startled and confused that an omega like you would pick some random alpha like me. I'm no one. I was a foot soldier. I was... no one... So I thought... Maybe it's time you find an alpha more... deserving of you. There are so many."

"Idiot," whispered Percy, kissing him. "There are other alphas. But I don't care about any of them. They're not the ones I love. I fell in love with you, not them."

~*~ The End ~*~

Author's note: I'd gather that being the boyfriend of THE Percy Jackson can make one feel doubtful at times, especially when one is just the second-in-command of a cabin and not a war hero himself, mh? But Percy loves him and won't stand for that ;)
