son of apollo!donghyuck

pairing: son of apollo!donghyuck x child of athena!reader genre: fluff, comedy, some adventure/action, pjo au, e2l au words: 3,173 warning: couple of curse words here n there a/n: i reference a bunch of pjo characters in this so if u haven’t read pjo *crowd booing*

so donghyuck’s the son of apollo right

there’s like no arguing when it comes to that

he’s extremely talented at singing and making music, dancing, rapping, songwriting, so he’s no doubt apollo’s offspring

and he’s naturally gifted at archery as well

you can’t spell haechan without ACE teehee

u on the other hand

you’re athena’s child

you love to read and write you’re incredibly smart ofc

you love competing and winning and taking part in strategy making to bring your opponents DOWN 💅🏼

athena’s the goddess of wisdom as well as warcraft so needless to say you’re exceptional in both fields

you’re not just textbook smart, no no, you’re able to apply all the knowledge you learn…well…irl

not to mention you’re good with all kinds of weapons

ur fave weapons include swords and spears :D

you’re okay w knives too!!! and daggers!!! you’re not picky

but you’re better w longer blades just cuz u have more experience w them

fun fact: you’re the head of the athena cabin and donghyuck’s the head of the apollo cabin

you’re both great leaders, always doing your best to make the best strategies to win capture the flag, the chariot races, and other fun activities chiron plans for the campers 😁

but . you guys are Sworn Enemies

actually the better term to use would be “rivals”

you guys r So competitive to the point where you actually developed a rivalry during your first few years at camp half-blood

donghyuck LOVES to win but so do you… so obv he’s gonna go out of his way to make sure he/his cabin wins

that doesn’t mean you’ve ever backed down from his challenges…

if he’s competitive you’re twice as competitive

one day after breakfast during your fifth year at camp when you’re both about 18, chiron decides to host a good old game of capture the flag

u know . for old times’ sake 😼

once he makes the announcement you immediately turn to your cabin mates

“we have to win no matter what”

“y/n, it’s just capture the flag. we’re not fighting gaea”

“bitch are u in or not”

the entire dining hall is buzzing with excitement

nothing makes a demigod’s day like a capture the flag announcement 😌

chiron suddenly grabs the megaphone again and calls out “this time however there’s a little twist,” he chuckles as everybody goes silent

you raise an eyebrow

“you’ll be in teams of course. everybody has to play. there’s twenty cabins, so there will be ten teams of two cabins each. i’ll pair you guys up myself. each pair gets a flag–so there’s ten flags in total. the game will be won by the pair who manages to collect all flags and brings them back to their base before anyone has the chance to steal their own flag.”

the demigods burst into intense chatter and discussion once more

you turn your head back to your siblings and tilt your head in slight confusion

you’ve never played capture the flag in teams before

“anyone but apollo. i’m literally begging. sam, pray to athena right now”

“y/n RELAX”

“i think if we’re partners with apollo’s cabin i’ll actually jump into tartarus”

“…”

“what? percy and annabeth survived” 🙄

chiron pulls out a scroll and calls out the pairings one by one

poseidon and demeter, hades and ares (good luck to them), so on and so forth

your heart keeps racing . athena’s name has not been called out yet

and just like that your worst fear comes true

“athena cabin with apollo cabin. the game will commence in thirty minutes, which is how much time you have to prepare. good luck and stay safe!”

you drop your head into your palm (aka head in hands meme jpg)

“this is the worst day of my entire life”

“y/n, you’re hands down the most dramatic person i’ve ever met”

maybe it’s just you–bc your siblings seem fine with the apollo kids

they have so many apollo cabin friends :(

curse u and donghyuck’s little rivalry that the entire camp and chiron knows about

so him putting yall together definitely was not a coincidence cough cough

can u blame him

🌤🌈 he just wants all of u to get along 🌈🌤

he’s seen w his own two centaur eyes what happens when demigods fight between themselves

it’s not healthy

he needs u guys to get along bc u and donghyuck are some of the best demigods at camp rn

ur quick wits and amazing sword skills

his position as the camp’s best archer

imagine how powerful yall would be if u two worked together

if only you got along from the start.. but nooooo

ur egos r just too high F

but anyway, back to the present

you’re sitting there, head in your hands, dreading this already when some of the apollo kids swagger over to your guys’ table

donghyuck is in front of them as he scoffs after seeing your dreadful state

“why the sad face, y/n?”

you lift your head up to see him hovering over your seat and roll your eyes

you get up and your siblings follow

you’re just gonna have to make do. you don’t have time to complain

the thing is

you’ve only lost capture the flag once 👎🏼

a few summers ago the apollo cabin defeated the entire camp leaving everybody speechless

it’s true they didn’t defeat JUST you but somehow you thought it was personal

you had the PERFECT record 😕

zero losses . only wins

but bc of the apollo kids your cabin’s record was tarnished

which is sorta why you started hating them (esp donghyuck their leader) so much

donghyuck caught on immediately and made it a point to compete just as hard as u

so yea. that’s how you became rivals

he knows how much ur gonna hate working with him but u don’t really have a choice now do u :/

so he knows exactly why u have a sad face

but this is donghyuck we’re talking about

just bc yall r “rivals” doesn’t mean he’s not gonna tease u 😂😂😂

(or maybe he teases u bc he thinks ur cute and he hopes one day u realise him teasing is actually donghyuck for flirting 🤭)

“you know damn well why, lee donghyuck”

“oh c’mon i think it’ll be fun! if we combine our skills, we definitely have a hundred percent chance of winning”

you cross your arms and glance at your siblings who just shrug in agreement

you sigh loudly

“don’t even think about fucking this is up, donghyuck. and just so we’re clear, i’m in charge”

he laughs, “yup! got it”

so you start talking strategy

you only have 30 minutes so you need to make the best of it

you divide the two cabins into pairs so that an athena and an apollo kid will be paired together and in charge of smth diff

you have plenty of people on your team – 5 in athena’s cabin and 5 in apollo’s cabin

some will handle weapons and safety gear, some will handle mapping out the playing area which was basically the entirety of the woods, some will be setting up traps near your team’s flag to prevent others from coming close

30 minutes quickly pass and after dividing the work and planning your strategy with donghyuck and friends you turn your attention back to chiron who has his megaphone in hand

everyone’s told to gather outside the dining hall at the open field before the game commences

you, donghyuck, and your teammates briefly talk strategy once more . just to make sure everybody knows what they’re supposed to do

“let the game begin!” chiron blows a loud whistle and the demigods scramble out of the field, going to their designated flag locations

your spot is near a little creek, but the forest around your flag is quite dense so u figure it’s relatively hard to locate

it’s not that late so the afternoon sun makes your skin glisten with sweat

“damn, can you tell your dad to chill tf out for a while,” you tell donghyuck jokingly

he just rolls his eyes but on the inside he’s kinda glad you’re being casual with him rather than 😡😡😡😡😡 like u normally are

u don’t know what it is about him today but u swear he’s acting different around u

he wasn’t… as annoying while discussing strategy ????

he actually ?????? listened ?????? to what u had to say 🤔🤔🤔🤔

he didn’t argue, he didn’t even throw around witty burns like he usually does w/o hesitation

u were like… is he ok

little do u know!!! he actually l*kes u 🤭🤭🤭

well… it’s not a 100% fact that HE himself knows as well

but his siblings caught on to his weird behaviour n figured smth was up

mark being one of hyuck’s closest friends n siblings in the apollo cabin, realised he was acting weird ever since yall got grouped together

he seemed nervous ⁉️ which he never ever is

he’s like the most confident person mark’s ever known

so mark was like *thinks*

after putting two and two together mark came to the conclusion that he might have a small crush on u

bc hyuck kept glancing over at u, kept talking abt how ur a good leader (he’s never gonna tell YOU that tho. he crossed his heart on that one)

mark was like i didn’t even ask but ok

mark was confused at first tho cuz everybody and their mom knows about your guys’ rivalry so why tf would hyuck have a crush on someone he considers his rival

mark decides not to get ahead of himself bc hey!!! maybe he doesn’t have a crush, maybe he just thinks ur a good leader

like that’s it u know?

LMAO 🤫

so anywayz where was i

ah right

the flag

OK SO ur team’s flag is yellow ! :D

it’s like the colour of sunflowers

you and donghyuck r in charge of guarding the flag while ur team members scout around for the other flags

easy peasy

you and donghyuck are at your base now, weapons drawn just in case

the flag is hung on a poll couple feet taller than you

you’re dressed in ur usual training clothes – a pair of washed out shorts, a very old orange camp half-blood shirt; your sword’s sheath hanging from one of the belt loops of your shorts

donghyuck’s dressed similarly – a pair of blue ripped jeans, the same orange camp shirt tucked into them, but he has a purple flannel on, which he takes off and ties around his waist

“it’s so freaking hot,” he says, mentally agreeing with the comment u made about apollo earlier

“tell me about it”

there’s a silence that follows, the only sound heard is the subtle flow of the creek water

you’re thankful for the silence

it’s easier to keep an ear open for opponents on their way to steal your flag

just as you think about it, an ares and a hades kid approach your base

they’re on the other side of the creek, less than ten to fifteen feet away

“hi y/n,” the hades kid you’re kind of close to says

you shoot him a fake smile before holding your sword in front of you

donghyuck pulls out an arrow from his quiver and nocks it in his bow, aiming for the two demigods in front of you

the creek isn’t that deep, so the two demigods cross it with ease

they have their weapons drawn; they’re now a couple of feet away from you and more importantly the flag

no words are said as donghyuck lets his arrow fly and knock the hades’ kid sword out of his hands

he didn’t use an arrow with a sharp tip, you note

the hades’ kid stumbles backwards, imbalanced after he gets unarmed

you stand your ground as the ares’ kid scrambles forward, attacking you with her sword

your blades clash defiantly

you continue to spar with all your might

from the corner of your eye you see that the hades’ kid, sword back in hand, is battling donghyuck on your left

the flag is right behind you and donghyuck; you can’t let the two demigods get near it

you and the ares kid are still battling each other, putting all your strength into making sure she surrenders

but u should know better

ares and athena kids have many similarities like their love for winning, their confidence in battle, etc.

it’s like looking in a mirror

you don’t have anything against this particular ares kid, though

“c’mon, y/n, give up already”

that REALLY makes your blood boil

you never give up, no matter what

with one final blow of your sword, you knock her sword out of her hands, making her think she distracted you with her words

she goes flying back, half her body landing in the creek water

her sword lies in between you and her, but you doubt she’ll have the courage to fight again

the hades kid sees this and quickly scrambles away from hyuck, picking up the ares kid’s sword and giving her a hand up

“this is why i hate you and your siblings–your huge ego always gets in the way,” you hear the hades kid grumble to his partner as they run away from you, shame written all over their defeat

hyuck laughs and wipes sweat from his forehead

you can’t help but laugh either

you love it here at 🧡 camp half-blood 🧡

a few moments pass as your teammates emerge from the dense woods, each pair with a different colour flag held between them

you smile in victory

you quickly bring down your flag from its pole and give it to hyuck

“me? it was your plan…”

“yeah, but i couldn’t have done it without you, hyuck”

he almost passes out at your choice of nickname

back at the main hall, chiron announces your team as the winner, and that the prize yall being excused from doing chores all week long!!!!

it’s not much, but hey, at least you and hyuck ended up working together and winning the game, right?

later, hyuck pulls you aside from your cabin mates, and walks you to the lakeside

you two sit at the deck, side by side, watching the water doing nothing in particular

you watch as hyuck swings his feet lightly, his toes barely touching the water

“y/n, do you hate me?” donghyuck asks out of the blue

you’re like 😳 what

now that he asks you that . like straight up . it makes u think

do u REALLY hate him

or do u just hate losing to him

“why would i hate you?” you question back

“i don’t know? i guess because of our, um, rivalry thing i thought you can’t stand me”

you play with the beads of your camp necklace

“i don’t hate you, donghyuck. i just hate losing. i guess it’s the athena in me,” you laugh at how lame you sound

“i hate losing too, but i don’t hate you, in case you’re wondering.”

he takes a deep breath

“i know we started going against one another ‘cause of that one time my cabin won capture the flag, but i don’t want things to stay this way,” he pushes his hair back

“i guess what i’m saying is… i like working with you.” he pauses

“yeah,” he says, as if more convinced now, “and i would really like to get to know you better,” he clears his throat, very clearly embarrassed

you laugh at his flustered state

“stop laughing at me,” he stretches the last syllable as he lightly shoves you with his shoulder

you’re trying even harder to not laugh now, but for his sake, you hold it in

“that’s probably the cutest thing you’ve ever said”

he crosses his arms, “i’m always cute”

you’re like. THE NERVE?????? 😒😒😒

“how ‘bout we go slow? i mean, we just became un-enemies, we’re gonna need to be friends first, right?” you poke his shoulder

“you make a good point”

“i’m literally athena’s child, but okay”

“shut up!”

✨ time skip ✨

both u and hyuck stay at camp over the holidays which means more bonding time!!! yay!!!!!

a year has passed and u and hyuck r basically bffs, attached at the hip, and everybody except mark is surprised as fuck

rmb the days when hyuck thought u were “cute”?

welp 🤭 he’s at that point where everything u do makes his heart flutter

yeah… he likes u Like A Lot

u have no clue abt his feelings for u and he has no clue abt ur feelings for him either

exactly a year after the iconic capture the flag game, ur both seated at the deck by the lakeside, side by side, again

“y/n…there’s something you need to know”

“if you’re gonna tell me about the mixtape you’re dropping with mark, i literally don’t want to hear it”

“THAT WAS ONE TIME”

“YOU GOT THE ENTIRE CAMP’S HOPES UP FOR NO REASON”

both of you burst into fits of laughter

after calming down, he shoves your shoulder lightly with his shoulder, like he always does (only to u tho)

“no, seriously, i need to tell you something”

“what’s up?”

“i,” he pauses, clears his throat, “like you. a lot–i have for a while now.”

you swear your heart stops beating and your brain explodes

HE? LIKES? U?????????

he continues, “i don’t know if you like me back, but i’ve been wanting to tell you this for so long–guess i didn’t have the courage until recently,” he lets out an airy laugh

you’re looking at him in the eyes now; a subtle shimmer of the afternoon sun sparkling in his eyes

“hyuck, i like you too. how could i possibly not?” you chuckle at his shocked expression

he goes :O

he’s genuinely speechless when you lean forward and press your lips ever so softly onto his

you literally feel him freeze, which worries you for a second, but your worry is washed away when he slowly kisses you back

you melt right then and there

he takes your hand in his, interlocking fingers, as you pull away, a faint pink blush painting both your cheeks

“wow”

“really, y/n? that’s all you have to say? what happened to being wisdom’s child, huh?”

“donghyuck, i SWEAR to ALL THE GODS–!”

your sentence is cut off when he presses his lips onto yours again, you smile into the kiss which causes him to smile with you

he kisses you again and again, and then again, until you’re both a giggling mess

“let’s stay like this forever, yeah? what do you say?” he says, bringing his lips to your forehead, lingering there for a moment before pulling back and looking at you

you look at your intertwined hands, and then back up at him, “i’d like that”

DO AN OTAYURI FIRST KISS U PICKY BITCH

I’M NOT PICKY I’M JUST PARTICULAR! (also my headcannon for their first kiss is different now cuz wttm but oh well lmao) send me prompts!!!

The scent of paprika and cloves clung to the warmth radiating from a huge stone oven. Salt from the nearby sea lifted high into the air and settled over the city streets like mist. Couples laughed and danced, mingling with each other in a way that few societies did. There were no strangers in Spain, only friends that have yet to meet. Rich red wine was poured generously into glasses a few tables away. A big family towards the back sang happy birthday to a little boy while they served hearty helpings of paella down to the other end of the table. But they weren’t the biggest group in the restaurant. Yuri sulked in his chair, scowling dead ahead of him.

What was once a party of two had now swollen to ten. In the middle of the chaos sat Victor and his new fiance in matching golden rings. Everyone stood and cheered when someone in the crowd, most likely Phichit but it was all a blur, noticed the gold glinting in the light. In only seven months, it was seven right? In the space of a season, Victor discovered and tied down his soulmate at the cost of Yuri’s comfort and plan of attack. Victor was supposed to help him win the Finals, but Yuri had to admit he was a little happy for them. He would never admit it, and he would never forgive Victor who had ruined his night.

Just fifteen minutes ago, Yuri was alone with him.

“Hey kid!” a voice as smug as a shot fox shouted in Yuri’s direction, “why the long face? You can come to our wedding too, we’ll serve juice boxes–”

“Die in a fire, JJ.” The table snickered at Yuri’s brusque denial of JJ’s wedding invitation in the only way he knew how. No one saw him curl into himself, cringing at his lack of control. He wanted to seem friendly. He wanted to seem approachable.

Across the table, barely nodding his head in response to a story Christophe was telling, was Otabek, the guy that saved Yuri earlier that day from being eaten alive by a mob of girls. Tossing Yuri a helmet to keep him safe, Otabek whisked him away, zooming down the narrow streets of Barcelona. He kept his eyes peeled for somewhere quiet to stop. Riding out of the city center up into the hills, they stopped and headed out onto a sandstone outlook and watched the city below them. Stepping onto the lookout, Yuri didn’t think much of anything about Otabek other than his obvious and apparent attractiveness, he had a nice face. After they spoke, after Otabek told him his eyes had been on his mind for ten years– that they were unforgettable, and so was Yuri by extension– Yuri wasn’t the same. He knew something inside him was different, hugging Otabek’s waist a little tighter than needed on their way back into the city, but he couldn’t tell what it was.

Now, Yuri sulked like a wilting flower that detested the sun. Spending time with Otabek alone was clearly too much to ask. And he was just starting to untie this knot in his chest that he’d been tangling with since that moment on the outlook. Victor just had to show up and ruin everything, not just with his presence but with this big gaudy announcement. Now this late night dinner was about him. Otabek didn’t even seem to see Yuri anymore.

“Ugh.” Curling his lip, Yuri pulled his hood up over his face when it slipped back over his hair. He wiggled out of his chair.

“Yurio, where are you going?” Victor called after him. Yuri bristled like a cat about to tear someone’s face off.

With his back to the table, Yuri hissed, “back to my room.” Everyone sulked. Mari and Minako whined in quiet protest but wouldn’t overstep their boundaries. Yuuri remained meek and silent, smelling the hellfire that burned in Yuri’s chest. He thought it best to stay out of his way.

“Oh come on,” Victor whined like a prissy teenage girl, “stay a while longer. We’re having fun!” A few others chimed in. It was innocent enough, but everyone at the table passed around a heavy bottle of red wine to celebrate, making a show of pouring it into glasses, knowing that Yuri needed it most but couldn’t have any. Yuri’s arms crossed over his chest in a defiant pout.

“Are we, I haven’t noticed.” JJ and Christophe ooh’d from the studio audience. Victor opened his mouth to argue and Yuri turned over his shoulder to get the fuck out of there, but something caught his wrist before he could disappear.

Coming around the table at a steady but purposeful gate, Otabek stopped him. During the fuss, Phichit offered to switch seats with him just in time to beg Yuri to stay. While Yuri was picked apart, he’d been suffering in silence that read on his face if anyone bothered to look for it. Yuri saw the way a crease formed between Otabek’s brows and recognized his thoughts like he could see into his mind. Please don’t leave me alone with these people. Giving up on his grand and stormy exit, Yuri obediently returned to his seat. Otabek sat beside him, giving Yuri the strength he needed to deal with the rest of this ruined night.

“There we go!” Victor exclaimed cheerfully. Satisfied with Yuri’s company, he dipped into conversations at other ends of the table and almost forgot about Yuri entirely. But there was a distinct, cold silence right in the middle of the table that he just couldn’t ignore. A few seats away, Phichit clicked away at his phone, or at least pretended. Leaning in, he and Victor subtly exchanged a few words and came to some understanding, sharing their findings to Yuuri and eventually leaking it to the rest of the company without giving themselves away.

“Yuuri,” Victor spoke a little too loudly for a private conversation, “I feel bad.”

“Why?” Yuuri questioned just as obviously, ruddy cheeked and eyes roving everywhere but dead ahead.

“Because,” Victor explained, unafraid to look right into Yuri’s eyes, “I think we crashed their date.”

Sitting next to him, JJ went for a congratulatory smack on the back and found that Otabek had turned to stone, staring at Phichit with a look of vague betrayal and the promise of future punishment. Yuri went white as a ghost, his very sense of self separating from his body for a minute before returning to adamantly protest in suspicious defense.

“It is not!” He shouted over the speculation between his fellow competitors, and Victor didn’t believe him one bit. Even if they hadn’t gone to dinner with the express intention of dating, they both wished for it even if they didn’t know it themselves. Yuri might not have realized, but Otabek was more self aware. “Shut up! No, it’s not!” Yuri floundered.

“I bet there’s still time to save it,” Victor sang through a smug grin.

“It’s not a–”

“Kiss!”

In a millisecond, Yuri went from angry to mortified.

Phichit, the instigator extraordinaire, was the first to start chanting. “Kiss! Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!” Then the rest of the table joined in, brandishing forks and wine glasses. “Kiss! Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!” Even Spanish locals and tourist strangers had to cheer. “Kiss! Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!”

Yuri looked all around him, deciding whether it would be best to kill himself or everyone in the room. He gripped the seat of his chair between his knees, effectively closing himself off. His heart beat so fast he thought he’d have a heart attack. Victor was staring right at him, making his throat close up. All he could hear was roaring chants all directed at him. It was hot under the spotlight. It never bothered him before, but now he was beet red. That was, until a cold hand brushed his cheek.

The whole restaurant went quiet.

Feeling Otabek’s nose prod against his cheek, Yuri froze. The brush of his lips sent a violent shiver down Yuri’s spine like he’d been shocked. His eyes blew wide open. Otabek’s lips were so soft, insistent in a way that caught Yuri off guard. Otabek seemed so harsh at first, like he’d be the type to take what he wanted without much regard for anyone else. That seemed bad– not that Yuri thought about what Otabek kissed like. But it was different than he’d expected. Otabek kissed like he wanted to give everything he had, like Yuri should be worshiped and treated with care and reverence.

He hadn’t realized that his eyes had slipped closed until it was over. Yuri chased that feeling, leaning in closer before he could stop himself. It clicked into place. That feeling, like spinning wheels deep in his belly, those were butterflies with fiery wings. Ever since they stood on the lookout overlooking the city, those butterflies stayed with him, growing stronger every time Otabek looked at him. Yuri was calm, breathing lightly.

Phichit scrolled through the dozens of pictures he’d taken for the right one to post on instagram. Minako was crying and Mari held it together for the sake of her friend. Isabel had a hold of both of JJ’s hands, preventing him from another douchey pat on Otabek’s back. Christophe reminisced to himself. Yuuri said nothing, graciously keeping his fondness down inside him. He’d seen this expression on Yuri’s face before, watched him experience something raw and unbearably warm and soft. Victor was about to explode.

“Aw, look Yuuri, he liked it! So sweet!” he crooned, his ring winking in the light.

With the sound of his voice, the silence was lifted and the restaurant returned to life. Whispers filled Yuri’s head with noise. It was too much, there were too many people around. He felt naked, exposed. Everyone in his life just witnessed his vulnerability. Overwhelmed, Yuri nearly fell out of his chair. He pushed past several people on his way out of the restaurant, anxious to get out onto the street. The table ooh’d, raised their brows and drinks, and left it alone. Victor made to stand, but Otabek was already halfway out the door.

“Yuri,” Otabek called out from the street, but Yuri was easy to find. He was sitting in an alleyway beside the restaurant, making no effort to disappear into the night. He wanted someone to come looking for him. He didn’t really want to be alone to grapple with all these foreign emotions churning around in his stomach, however, he did expect the person to be Victor and it wasn’t. Otabek stood in the mouth of the alley and Yuri scrambled to his feet. “Are you okay?”

“I’m fine,” Yuri dismissed with his eyes cast down. Otabek stepped closer but kept a comfortable distance, giving Yuri enough room to escape if he needed to.

“Was that your first kiss?”

“No… ugh, yes…” It was hard to lie to Otabek. His unwavering gaze would find the truth. He was silent as usual, listening to Yuri inadvertently pour out all of his thoughts. “I wanted it to be private,” he lamented, “I thought I’d know when it was coming. Everyone saw it before I did.”

“It wasn’t my intention to take that away from you,” Otabek apologized when he knew Yuri was finished speaking, “I’m sorry, Yuri.” Doing wrong by Yuri was a grave offense, embarrassing him was punishable by excommunication. The honorable thing to do was to swallow the knots in his throat, ignore the want to touch him and beg for forgiveness, swallow the urge to tell him that he’d wanted to kiss him all day, and remove himself before he could make it any worse. With that, Otabek turned to leave the alley and retire to his room.

“Hey, wait!” Looking back, he saw Yuri come after him with fear in his eyes. “Otabek, I…” Yuri stopped, abruptly humbled by the way Otabek looked at him, memorizing every inch of his face. Daunted by those eyes, Yuri took a step back into the dark and lowered his gaze. “There’s no one here. That last one didn’t count…” Yuri exhaled, meekly facing those eyes to see that they’ve softened. “Kiss me again.”

Blessed with a second chance and determined not to waste it, Otabek was quick to embrace him. Yuri gasped, melting soon after when Otabek’s lips met his own in slow, gentle touches. Strong hands squeezed a lithe waist, running their thumbs down the valleys Yuri’s muscles made where they framed his abs and created a subtle V shape down below his bellybutton. Yuri was a fast learner, dipping his tongue into Otabek’s mouth like he’d done this before, more proof that Yuri was perfect, not of this world. They parted for air, their foreheads touched.

“How was that?”

“Everything I imagined it would be.” Yuri was smiling, gently scraping his nails along Otabek’s scalp. With a relieved puff of laughter, Otabek smiled too, safe from showing too much emotion to anyone but Yuri. Anything Yuri wanted was his, and Otabek hoped he could tell.
