Percy Jackson and the Greek Gods Gay One-shots

The Perfect Bad Boy (Ares/Leo)

Leo Valdez was the epitome of misery. He had lost his mother to a fire accident at a tender age and when Calypso broke up with him, he was shattered to say the least. Even in the Argo II, he had been the seventh wheel. He always felt unwanted as he was feeling now, standing in Central Park waiting for Jason and Piper for their weekly get together.

His monster proof phone, which he and Tyson had created with Malcolm piping up some of the ideas, beeped. He unlocked it to find two messages in the group where he, Jason and Piper were the members, only to find out that they were cancelling on him. Both had typed page long messages each but Leo knew very well that they were fucking together. He didn't bother to read the full messages and sent a lame "Ok. It's fine." But he was not fine at all. It was the second time in a month that they had stood him up and he was feeling very unwanted at the moment.

Leo let out a long sigh and headed to the nearest club. Hell, he needed a drink to drown his sorrows and clear his mind. The bartender greeted him and he asked for the strongest shot they had to offer. That was his first mistake. Leo was not a person who could hold his liquor very well. He did not notice what the bartender was preparing and went on to the dance floor to show off his talents. When he returned his drink was ready. He gulped it down in a go as if it was water and enjoyed the burn it produced in the back of his throat. It stung but Leo wanted the physical pain to drown the emotional one.

Three shots of the same drink later, Leo found his world spinning. He felt dizzy. Paying his bill, he came out to get a breath of fresh air. He staggered and was shocked to find a person holding him. He looked like a typical bad boy. Dark hair that was gelled so perfectly as if he never woke up with bed hair, a perfect build of a Greek God and a leather jacket that smelled of sweat, very strong male cologne, cigarettes and alcohol. That person was asking him something but before Leo could focus on his face or words, he passed out.

Ares was just returning from his date with Aphrodite when he spotted Leo outside the club. The boy was staggering, very clearly under the influence of alcohol. He would have left the scene if he had not seen the group of boys (read: gangsters) approaching the demigod from the club. 'Smells like trouble', thought the god. Seeing Leo was about to pass out on the street itself, Ares caught him in his arms. "Brat, what are you doing out here?" he asked. The boy opened his mouth to reply but passed out in his arms instead. The god of war was sure that he was drugged as well. The other group of boys had reached them and their apparent leader said, "Leave him. He is our prey for tonight." It was clear to the god now that they were the ones who had spiked his drink and drugged him. The god of bloodlust barked, "He is my boyfriend. No one dares to touch him." The gangsters, who were obvious fools, got into a fight with him and ended up with broken bones. Ares picked up the passé out demigod in his arms as if he weighed nothing, which was true since Leo was underweight, and thought where he could drop him. Going to camp would not be safe as Chiron and the other Gods would come to what had happened and Zeus would shout at him. "Stupid Hephaestus Brat", he muttered under his breath and took Leo to his own apartment in NYC. After taking care of Leo the whole night, Ares was tired as hell. He was making coffee for himself when he heard the pattering of feet behind. Without even facing the boy he asked, "What is your name brat?"

"I am Leo, Leo Valdez. Who are you? Where am I? What did you do to me?"

The god scoffed, "You can call me Zach, short for Zachary. You were at my house. Thank the Fates if not for me, you would have become prey to a group of boys yesterday."

Leo mumbled a weak thank you and asked if he could go home. Ares wanted nothing less than that and saw him out immediately. Both of them never thought that they would meet again but the Fates had other ideas.

Two weeks later when Leo was returning from his get together with Jason and Piper, a horde of dracaena attacked him. Leo, as everyone knows, was no fighter. He could create machines and as luck would have it, he had left his tool belt at bunker 9 that day. Leo was running from his life when he suddenly ran into a motorbike. Ares had never expected a son of Hephaestus to run into him when he was on his way to a date. The boy was sprawled on the ground and would have been dead if the god had not pressed the brakes. The boy got up and Ares saw the familiar face of Leo. "What is your problem today?" He was pissed. Then Ares caught sight of the dracaena. "Can you not fight?", he asked amused. Most demigods were known for their fighting abilities. "Everyone isn't Percy Jackson or Jason Grace. There exist common people too who can only make weapons and not wield them. Wait, are you a demigod too?" Leo was baffled. Zach had not waited nor bothered to reply and was now busy slashing at the monsters. Five minutes later the battle was over.

Leo watched the boy slashing as his muscles flexed and rippled under his tight red t-shirt and black leather jacket. He gulped. That was hot. He did not know that Zach was talking to him until he felt a light shove to his shoulder and his stupor broke. He asked, "Who is your parent?" "Ares", came the reply. "Do you want a few sparring lessons with me?" Zach asked. Leo nodded dumbly – no one had ever asked to teach him something. "Ok, then let's meet tomorrow at the Central Park.", said the son of Ares (actually it was Ares pretending to be a son of Ares) and sped off on his bike leaving Leo on the sidewalk.

A month later, Leo's skills with sword had improved tremendously. He one day suddenly asked, "Who taught you sword fighting?" Zach answered "Ap- the best sword fighter." Leo nodded. They started hanging out – whenever Jason and Piper cancelled their get-togethers with Leo and Aphrodite cancelled her dates with Ares. Leo was developing a crush on the God, without knowing that he was a god. On their dates, Ares suddenly found Aphrodite's hair to be brown and her eyes chocolaty instead of their original ever-changing kaleidoscopic nature. And he had made the mistake of asking. It didn't take him half a brain cell to understand that he was falling for the stupid brat of Hephaestus when their date was interrupted.

It was Leo along with that half brother of his, Jason and the daughter of Aphrodite, Piper. Piper asked, "Mom, what are you doing here?" The goddess of love replied, "I am on a date with Ares." Ares saw the facial expression of Leo change from confusion to that of shock to certain horror. The son of Hephaestus rushed out from the café ignoring the calls from his friends. "What is going on here?" Jason and Piper demanded. Aphrodite, that cunning love goddess, piped out, "A certain god has spent a lot of time with your friend and both of them may have developed a crush on each other." A giggle followed. Then Aphrodite schooled her expressions and glared at Ares, "Do I need to teach you to go after him?" The God of war knew better and immediately went to Leo's hideout when he was sad.

Ares found the demigod crying there. "Why did you not tell me you were a God? Why did you lie to me? Why am I always left alone?" Leo demanded, shouting. Ares crouched down and tried to soothe him, "I am sorry. I thought that you would be afraid and not want to be my friend after knowing that I was a God. No one wants to be a friend of the God of War. They all think I am mean." Leo continued to sob. "Why did I have to lose my heart to a God?" "Well, you don't find out every day that the goddess of love who is your girlfriend has her hair and eyes the same colors as the only demigod you have befriended in ages." The god mumbled under his breath.

After Leo calmed down, Ares wiped his tears and asked, "Would you like to try a relationship with me, in spite of me and your dad hating each other?" The demigod just nodded and fell asleep in his arms for the second time. The God of War smiled after a long time. Contrary to everyone's belief, he too had a heart which was soft in a few cases.
