I Will Always Love You

Percy lost his mother a few years ago and is left in the care of his abusive stepdad. Leo is the popular jock, girls constantly flock to him. Percy has grown up being told time and time again how terrible it is to be a male sub. Percy is forced into an early inheritance when one of Gabe's "punishments" takes it too far. Leo was forced into his inheritance in a fire a few years back. He never told Percy as he didn't want his friend to worry. Leo did everything he could to try and get the boy to notice him, Leo prayed they, would-be mates, then one day Percy started to back away from him. Percy didn't want to be rejected and he loves Leo and would love to be his mate... but he didn't want to cause the popular boy to live a life of shame and melancholy because they were mates. Percy didn't want to rob his only friend of a happy life... so he hid from him... he covers as much of his body as he could and never looked Leo in the eye he couldn't Leo would know. Keeping himself away from his doms love and affection Percy continued to force both himself and his creature farther into depression. Will Leo be able to help his sub? Will Percy be able to accept himself? Will Leo ever find out who his sub is? will Percy give into his depression? Will Gabe ever get punished? Only time will tell.

Info on the Au's magic

All subs know who their mate almost immediately after coming into their inheritance.

Dom's rely on their instincts, skin-to-skin contact, or eye contact to help them identify their mate. And sent to an extent.

subs become highly depressed if they are kept away from their mates.

Warning: self harm

P.s. Percy is a Neko (half cat half-human) and Leo is a vampire
