Why fight, knowing you will fail? Because it is my choice!

What I Feel For You

Thena xf!reader

It’s 400 AD and the height of the Gupta Empire. Over 5,000 years have passed since you first gazed upon Thena and you haven’t stopped looking at her since.

A/N: This has been on my mind since I rewatched the film November and I’ve always felt that Eternals has been one of the more underrated movies of phase 4. Angelina Jolie is also brilliant as Thena obviously and since she’s bisexual in real life then her character has to be queer too. I don’t make the rules.

You supposed that stranger pairs had existed. As you gazed upon Sersi and Ikaris while they partook in their bonding ceremony, you couldn’t help but think about how different the two of them were. While Sersi was pure warmth that seemed to extend to every single person she met, Ikaris remained tactical and slightly removed from everything else that happened with the humans around them. But then you remembered how Sersi had softened him and the days of Babylon where he seemed to grow an entirely new perspective. He began learning the humans’ languages, became more involved in their development and culture, and allowed Sersi to lead him into something he would have otherwise left unfamiliar.

The problem was that you couldn’t change for Thena even though you longed to desperately. For her you would remake yourself from the dirt and clay you stood on, mold a new person with your own tears. Back in Babylon, she said that she didn’t come to Earth to cower behind walls, but that’s exactly what you did. On that day you had watched her fight deviants with cosmic weaponry and both the grace and strength of a thousand winds. You were behind the city walls, of course, for what else would you have been able to do?

Similar to Druig, your special ability was mostly psychological and didn’t serve much purpose on the battlefield. Communicating with animals had allowed you to assist the humans in their domestication but not much else when it came to fighting the deviants. In fact, you spent most of your time in the company of four-legged, scaly, or winged creatures and admiring your Thena from afar. 

A few decades ago, the two of you had shared a dance during the humans’ celebration of solstice that Druig and Phastos sneakily planned. You remembered feeling more alive than ever with her arms around that night. A stupid joke that you told her actually made her smile the biggest you had ever seen and suddenly you were about to confess all the feelings that had been kept hidden over the course of thousands of years. But then in an instant, the entire party erupted into a swarm of chaos when a band of horns sounded out the spotting of some lurking deviants. 

“Stay here, little one,” she had quickly told you before placing a brief kiss on your forehead and running off as a sword materialized into her hands. But you were certain that she had only been concerned about you as a friend would  and quickly convinced yourself that she wasn’t interested. 

And there was also Gilgamesh. Admittedly, there was a time earlier on into your mission that you wanted to resent him completely. He was strong, a natural protector, and capable of giving Thena that life of adventure you knew she longed for. The way that the two worked in sync when they fought was almost like an intricate dance you knew only two people with a deep personal connection could choreograph. You couldn’t help but covet what he had but being the giant teddy bear that he was it eventually softened you. Now, you tried to be happy for them both from the sidelines.

After the bonding ceremony you retreated to a nearby herd of elephants that you were growing pretty close with. You were languidly brushing the oldest female and leader of the herd when Ajak stumbled upon you.

“I’m sure these majestic creatures make wonderful company but a little bird told me that you’re avoiding someone in particular,” she approached you and the herd slowly. Ajak was always careful around animals and behaved much more respectfully than others like Kingo. Near Mount Erymanthos he had once tried to ride a giant wild boar on a dare from Sprite which had ended awfully for all parties involved. “Care to talk to old me about it?”

You knew that Ajak wasn’t a threat to the elephants so you silently directed them to let her through as you replied, “Birds are terrible gossips, you can’t trust them all the time.” That one made her chuckle a bit but then she became serious once again.

“Why don’t you talk to Thena? She cares about you, you know? We all do and just want to see you happy.”

“She doesn’t care about me the way that I care about her,” you sigh right before another elephant steals the brush from your hand and holds it up out of your reach with its trunk. “Hey, what the heck?”

“See? Even they know you’re being ridiculous. Why do you assume that she feels that way when you haven’t spoken about it?”

“Ajak, look at me,” you step back so that now all of the elephants tower over you like trees. Besides Sprite, you’re the shortest of the eternals and quite insecure about it. And while you weren’t bad looking by any means, Sersi and Makkari were certainly more beautiful than you were. You had always had an easier time blending into a crowd. “What can I give her that Gilgamesh can’t? She deserves someone like him who won’t hold her back. My life isn’t exciting and full of danger like hers. I would just bore her.”

That’s when Ajak gives you a stern, foreboding look and you know that you’ve upset her. “Careful there, I don’t want to hear you say things like that about yourself. You may not be a fighter like her but neither of you are just one single thing. You bring out a different side of her that no one else can and she has feelings for you too.”

That’s what makes your head shoot up at attention. “She... she told you that?” You can hardly believe what Ajak is telling you but suddenly your heart is bursting with hope. 

“Actually, Gilgamesh and I were just discussing it.” That is... surprising. “But Thena has her own insecurities and isn’t certain how to talk to you either.”

“Why... why is that? She’s Thena! She’s the most incredible person I’ve ever known. She isn’t scared of anything.”

Ajak simply shrugs but gives you a suggestive look. “Sometime our judgment becomes clouded when we’re in love. Maybe it’s something you should think about.” With a smile, she gracefully turns on her heels and begins walking away.

The elephant hands you your brush back but by now you’re too distracted to continue brushing them. There’s an idea forming in your head and you need their opinion on something.

-~-

A few days later when everything is set up, you’re going over the plan one last time with Gilgamesh while Thena is out training. 

“Do you think she’ll like it?” You’re certain that by now he must be sick of dealing with you but he simply laughs and gives you a nod.

“Relax, she’s going to love it! Just be yourself and she won’t be able to resist you.” You curse yourself for ever holding a grudge against Gilgamesh. He’s been nothing but sweet and supportive this entire time and you hope to someday repay him back. He pulls you into a warm hug before his eyes catch something and he becomes much quieter. “She’s right over there, good luck.”

When you turn to look at Thena, it’s like emerging from freezing cold waters and feeling the warmth of the sun on your face for the first time. Everything about her is mesmerizing and bright and it makes you feel like an entirely new being just discovering the wonders of the world. She looks at you with some understandable curiosity after seeing you and Gilgamesh innocently embrace and begins to walk towards you, her eyes never leaving yours. You’re determined not to break eye contact with her but a smile uncontrollably takes over your entire face until she’s only a few feet in front of you and finally speaks.

“Did I miss something?” She asks with a hint of playfulness in her tone and you quickly shake your head.

“No, you’re actually right on time,” this causes her to raise an eyebrow at you and you plead with yourself to stay strong. “I was hoping that you would join me for a ride, if you wanted to that is.”

Her surprised smile causes tingles to spread throughout your entire body. “I would be honored, sweet one, but what would we be riding?” You’re probably grinning like a child at this point but you just continue to stand there cheekily as the answer reveals itself. Out from the jungle, an elephant slowly saunters its way over towards the two of you and Thena’s eyes light up even more than usual. “She’s ethereal,” you hear her whisper before the elephant gives a reply.

“Her name is Aaloka and she says thank you,” you translate. “She also said she agrees with me.”

“Agrees with you on what?”

Be brave. “That you are very beautiful,” your words surprise her and a blush begins to cover her cheeks. It’s all so much to take in that you start to feel your heart race. The only other times it does that is when you’re fearful, but she’s the only one that makes it beat this way. It’s like it beats for her.

Aaloka kneels and Thena assists you on top first before gracefully leaping up behind you. You start to feel a bit overwhelmed by how high up you are with nothing to hold onto until she wraps your arms around your waist and instantly freeze. No one has ever held you like this before. Eventually, you allow yourself to relax your body and sink softly back into hers. It’s an unfamiliar feeling, but a welcome one.

“Are we just going to sit here or do you plan on taking me somewhere?” She asks playfully and it shakes you from your spell. 

“Um, yes! Let’s go!”

Aaloka already knows which path to follow and it doesn’t take as long as you had expected for you to arrive at the spring. In the close distance is a waterfall that reflects the vibrant pinks, yellows, and oranges of the sky all around you. Thena lets go of you, which leaves you feeling somewhat empty, and is the first to dismount before you awkwardly try to slide your way down. At the very last second, the elephant moves one of her feet so that you trip forward and lose your balance. Thena immediately catches you in her arms with a soft laugh and brushes away some of your hair that’s been slightly tussled. 

“Hey, that wasn’t very nice!” You scold the elephant which has no sense of guilt whatsoever. “She did that in purpose you know.” Thena chuckles once again with a look of amusement in her eyes.

“I think she knows that I like keeping you in my arms, sweet one,” Thena huskily breaths into your ear and it causes a gasp to escape from your mouth. Looking up into her giant hypnotizing orbs stops time itself. How did you become so lucky to be here with her? Doubt starts to settle in and you unconsciously cling to her harder.

“I just don’t know what I’ve done to deserve your affections. I’m not strong like you or fast like Makkari. Everyone on the team has a myth or a legend named after them except for me. Thena, they named a goddess and a city after you! But me? I’m nothing extraordinary.” The confession brings a frown on her face that instantly confuses you. What did you say that upset her? 

“Do you really not see how incredible you are? You’re the most amazing person I know.” Thena looks at you with such admiration that it’s almost impossible for you not to believe her words. “If they name something else after Kingo I think his ego might cause his head to explode. But you, my darling, are too quick to discredit yourself for all the good you have helped put into this world. Things you have done from the pureness of your own heart even if you were scared, unsure of how to show the humans and animals how they must work together. Respect each other.”

“It’s my job,” you brush it off with a shrug, unsure of what she’s getting at. Nothing that you’ve done could ever compare to when she saved an entire city full of people. “You deserve someone just as strong as you are. A fighter that can protect you.”

“You think I can’t protect myself?” She raises an eyebrow at you and you realize how stupid you must have sounded.

“No, that’s not what I meant! Of course you’re… I meant to say that I wouldn’t want to… because I’m not-“

All the air dissipates from your lungs when her hand comes to rest at your cheek. Softly laughing, she drops the fake act of frustration in order to soothe you.

“Shhh, I was only joking, my dear. For the record, I’m not interested in a partner that can spar with me or deals with all their problems like Ikaris by blasting through everything. I only want you. You’ve taught me that there’s so much more to life than fighting. That there can be different ways of looking at the world.”

It’s at that same moment that the universe seems to send you a message in the form of thousands of green lights which begin to float up towards the sky. The synchronous dancing of the fireflies wasn’t something you had planned and you find it difficult to resist the smile that grows on your face. Standing together in the glowing green light, it feels nothing short of a truly magical moment.

“Y/N,” Thena softly whispers and you are brought back to the face of the most beautiful woman in the world looking at you with so much warmth. “I would never lie to you. So please believe me when I say I have never loved anyone else the way I love you.”

You’re sure your own heart is glowing within your chest brighter than all the fireflies in the world.

“You… You love me?” All of a sudden it feels as if you might float away. As long as she goes with you you’d be fine.

“Yes, darling. I love you and I’d be honored to be yours.”

“I love you too!” You throw your arms around her neck while Thena giggles, instinctively pulling your bodies closer together.

“May I kiss you, little one?” She breaths in your ear, sending shivers of anticipation across every inch of your skin.

“Please do,” you answer with a smile before your lips finally meet.

Your kiss is exactly like all the wonderful things you love about Thena. She’s gentle yet passionate, pouring all of her desire for you into the kiss while still being incredibly soft and responsive. In all your years of living you’ve never kissed anyone before. You’ve secretly observed human couples of all types share countless kisses throughout history. You feel like you’ve been forced to sit through even more between Sersi and Ikaris in the past century alone. Every time you’ve wondered what It must be like to experience something so magical. With Thena, you’re certain you finally understand what all of the fuss was about.  Nothing else has ever felt so right.

The two of you eventually separate when you’re both startled by the sound of Aaloka triumphantly cheering. Thena pulls you closer to her as you laugh, smiling directly into the crook of her neck.

“What did she say?” Thena asks.

“Something along the lines of ‘It was about time already!’”

“Well I have been waiting to kiss you for only a few thousand years!”

Feeling bold, you reach up to take Thena’s face into your hands. “Maybe we should make up for the lost time?”

“Definitely,” she agrees before swooping down to bring your lips together once again.

The movie actually ended like this, them having fun and singing no deaths. Another commission done for eternals release day!! They wanted an art piece highly inspired from the marvel comics Eternals #1 (Ramos Launch Cover).

This...I don’t even know what’s this. But enjoy!

(part 2)

__________________________

"She's doing it again" Gilgamesh frowned "Thena! She's doing it again!"

"Again?"

"It's the fifth time this week" Phastos said, joining them in the stands.

Usually, he'd be in his workshop, grateful that the rest of the Eternals were finally quiet, but ever since you'd come into their lives, he had to admit that he'd been taking more and more breaks. He couldn't help it, the current situation was too funny for everyone.

Ajak, the leader, the prime eternal, was in love. She was totally and completely head over heels in love with you. None of them knew the full story, because the woman had strictly forbidden you to talk about how you met, but that didn't stop them from having fun.

It was inevitable, you were the best thing that had happened to them in...a long time. You were strong enough to fight Thena and Kingo, smart enough to follow Phastos' conversations, you loved talking to Druig about human morality, you didn't mind making a fool of yourself to play with Sprite and Sersi, and you were as kind and cool as Gilgamesh and Makkari. Even Ikaris had developed a soft spot for you, treating you like a sister.

And most importantly: you were immortal, despite not exactly being an eternal. So neither of them had to worry about you getting hurt in battle (not that Ajak paid attention to that detail, she was always nervous when you went to fight), or time closing in on you and you dying while they blinked.

You were the perfect match for Ajak, and everyone could see the love the woman had for you, one that was fully reflected in your eyes as well. Sprite and Kingo had teased a bit the first time they saw you kissing, but deep down they all knew that you were a permanent part of their lives now, they just needed to make it official.

Which would be easier if Ajak would stop blushing like a schoolgirl with her first crush every time she saw you and finally ask you the all-important question. They had all given her space, not wanting to pressure her, but it had been years since you had been with them and everyone was running out of patience.

"What are we watching?" Druig asked, appearing out of nowhere.

"Ajak is watching Makkari and Y/N train" Thena explained "We are watching Ajak being a nervous wreck while she watches Makkari and Y/N train"

"My favorite show" he replied, standing next to Phastos.

Ajak kept her gaze on you, pretending not to hear her friends behind her. She wasn't stupid, she knew that sooner or later they were going to come up with the same request as always, but the answer was still no. It's not that she didn't want to take that step, she loved you, but it made her nervous to think about the M word.

"Why don't you make her a camera, Phastos? It'll last her longer" Thena smiled as Ajak flinched.

"Oh, I'm sure it's not necessary" the man answered trying to contain a laugh "she already has Y/N’s image completely burned into her mind"

"I told you to let me into Y/N's mind" Druig intervened "this would have been over years ago"

"Enough!"

The four Eternals jumped as the leader approached them with fire in her eyes and her face completely red. Maybe she was shorter than all of them, but an annoying Ajak always commanded respect, even from Thena.

"I will not tolerate this...taunting from you, is that clear?"

"We would stop doing it if you did what you have to do" Thena replied. (I said that she commanded respect, not fear)

"I don’t know what you're talking about"

"Ajak, you're daydreaming about kissing Y/N all the time" Druig said

"That's not true" the woman blushed

"She's daydreaming about fucking her all the time" the blonde smirked.

"THENA!"

“You didn’t deny it”

"m-hmm, kisses and sex, that's what marriage is all about, you're dreaming of marrying her" Phastos smiled

"Enough! Get out of here, all of you"

"Did I hear Ajak, Y/N, and marriage in the same sentence?" Kingo asked, sticking his head through the arch of the door "Ohhhh, finally?! Excellent!! I already have everything planned, wait, I'm going to get my notebook, this will be the best wedding ever!!"

"Kingo!"

Ajak let out a mortified groan as the other four Eternals laughed around her. Was it really that hard to ask for a little privacy in this family?!

"Who's getting married?" you asked, appearing suddenly behind her

The prime eternal froze in her place and glanced sideways at Thena, who was failing miserably to hide her victorious smile. She was going to kill each and every one of them in their sleep.

"You and Ajak!" Kingo replied from inside "Don't worry, I'll send you the invitation tomorrow when I have your dress!"

"Kingo!!!!"

Ajak explaining the plan: And most importantly, remember these words, “Don’t lose Y/n”. Ok?

Sersi: Where’s Y/n? Bonus:

Gilgamesh: Where’s Thena and Ikaris?

Druig: Ajak! Thena and Y/n’s murdering Ikaris!!

First Love.

Requested by Anon – Can I ask for a with Druig x Eternal reader where he always been in love with her but never say or do anything and everyone take separate ways and when is time to find her all the Eternals go to her home and find that she's had a life with someone, and that he knows what she is and know about them. Characters – Druig x Reader. Word Count – 2k.

‘Baby, you have some visitors.’ Nikolai called, you lifted your head from the large pot. Moving away from the cooker, you made your way through your house, rearranging the flowers on the way past. Looking at the bright yellow tulips, a smile made its way onto your face. Arriving at the front door, Nikolai moved out the way and the smile quickly dropped. ‘Could you go and look over dinner?’ You asked Nikolai, he nodded. Placing a kiss to the side of your head before he disappeared into the house. ‘What are you guys doing here?’ You asked the group of eight, who were looking at your hardly changed appearance. ‘Ajak was killed.’ Ikaris said, your brows furrowed together. ‘What?’ You questioned. ‘We found her in her garden.’ Sersi said, you lowered your head. ‘Why are you here?’ You asked them. ‘We need your help Y/N.’ Druig said, your eyes snapped to him as he lifted the sunglasses up onto his forehead. ‘You don’t need my help.’ You told them. ‘We do.’ Sersi said, you shook your head as you lifted a hand and rested it on the doorframe, forming a barrier between them and your life. ‘No.’ You said. ‘The creatures are coming back, one of them attacked Sprite and I in London.’ Sersi told you, you looked over your shoulder. ‘You are more than welcome to stay for dinner, but I can’t ruin this life.’ You told them, Sprite smiled at you. ‘I’ll gladly stay for your food; all we’ve been eating is crisps and sandwiches.’ She said, you gave her a smile as you moved to the side allowing her to walk past you. ‘Oh wait, does he know?’ She asked, you looked over your shoulder and nodded. ‘Yeah.’ You replied, she nodded before heading in as you turned to the group. ‘He knows?’ Sprite asked, making sure she heard you correctly. ‘We’ve been together five years, can’t keep that from him.’ You said, Thena looked at you and smiled.

‘Where’s Gilgamesh?’ You asked, looking around the table. You noticed Thena freeze and look blankly at the plate in front of her and your stomach dropped. ‘When?’ You asked, Nikolai looked at you. ‘Two days ago, we were attacked by three creatures when we were getting Druig.’ Phastos said, you clenched your jaw and nodded. Nikolai’s hand landed on your thigh, giving it a gentle squeeze. You looked up at him, you had silent conversation and he sighed before nodding. He cleared his throat and stood up, the group watched him. ‘It was lovely meeting you guys but I need to go pack.’ He said, he lifted his plate up before taking it to the kitchen and cleaned up quickly. ‘Why is he packing?’ Sprite quizzed, you clenched your jaw. ‘He’s going to stay with his family.’ You told them, pushing the food around on your plate. ‘Why?’ Ikaris questioned. ‘Because he loves her and knows that when he’s safe she can focus.’ Thena stated, you looked at her through your eyelashes. ‘So, you’re going to help us?’ Sprite asked, you nodded and lifted your head to look at her. ‘I can’t let them destroy the world that we built, that we created and that I have fallen in love over and over with.’ You explained, your gaze slipping to Druig at the end of the table.

‘Is he willing to stay with you when he’s old, wrinkly and cannot move but you’re still the gorgeous woman that never ages?’ Druig asked, you knew he was giving you a compliment, all be it back handed whilst berating your lover. ‘No.’ You told him, your voice void of emotion as you looked at your old friend before you looked away. ‘I’ve told him I won’t be around then because I can’t bear the thought of seeing him die.’ You informed him, he watched as you avoided eye contact with him. ‘So why did you fall for him?’ Druig asked you, you shrugged your shoulders looking at the man you were in love with then to the man who had been your first love. ‘I don’t know Druig, why did I fall for him? Why did I fall for you?’ You asked him, lifting your gaze and finally made eye contact with him. ‘But what should it matter, I haven’t talked to you in thousands of years.’ You told him, his gaze dropped, ‘yet then again you did believe that you always knew better, didn’t you?’ You asked him, his bright gaze snapped up to you as you watched it darken. ‘I never tried to control you.’ He hissed, you arched an eyebrow. ‘No, I’ll give you that but I would bet my life that you would’ve tried to keep me stuck in your village?’ You said, he shook his head quickly. ‘No.’ Druig snapped, he pointed a finger at you before he took a breath and dropped his arm. ‘I would have never harmed you, not when I loved you so much.’ He said, you took a small step back. ‘Druig, we never loved each other.’ You told him. ‘We believed that we had to be together, right, no one else understand us since we were created together?’ You quizzed, his eyebrows flickered. ‘So you don’t believe that Icarus and Sersi don’t love each other?’ Druig questioned, you opened your mouth before a knock at the door stopped you. ‘Come in.’ You said, you turned to the door to reveal Sprite, she looked concerned. ‘Everything okay?‘ She asked, you gave her a tight smile. ‘Oh yeah, just having a well overdue conversation.’ Druig commented, Sprite looked at him then to you. ‘We think we’ve found something.’ She stated, you nodded and Druig pushed past you, Sprite stepped to the side before he bashed his shoulder against hers. ‘Are you sure your okay?’ ‘Yeah, hard truths always come out and well I realised them before he did.’ You told her, you turned and offered your arm which she took, both of your made your way to the large room where everyone had gathered. ‘I hope you can sort it out, we’ve all been routing for you.’ Sprite told you, you tried to smile but it came out more of a grimace than anything. ‘I don’t think so Sprite, he’s had years to apologise or to even reach out but now, with this fight where we don’t know what we going against-,’ you told her. ‘But you were each other’s first love.’ She commented and still looked hopeful. ‘Exactly,’ you sighed, ‘when Ajak found out that we were puppets having our minds wiped it was in our design to fall in love with each other.’ You finished. ‘Or fate.’ She added. ‘Fate doesn’t exist.’ You replied as you shook you head. ‘Come on Y/N, every restart, life and planet we’ve been in, you would think that they would programme that out, stopping any emotions.’ Sprite said, your brows furrowed as you sighed. ‘I wish it was that simple, I really do but I’ve gave up Sprite, I’ve spent too much time hoping.’ You said. ‘And with Nikolai?’ Sprite quizzed, ‘With him I don’t have to hope, we support each other and love each other.’ You explained, she looked down at her feet. ‘But he’ll die.’ She whispered, almost afraid to say it. ‘Yes he will.’ You agreed with her, ‘but until then I want to be loved by him, I want to settle down and maybe even get a dog or two.’ ‘What about a kid?’ She quizzed, you shook your head. ‘It’s impossible, we aren’t designed to reproduce but that isn’t a bad thing.’ ‘We should join the others before the send a search party out.’ You joked, Sprite smiled and you both continued on the short walk.

You and Makkari watched as Ikaris pushed Druig into the mountain, the rock crumbled with the force and Makkari screamed as she dropped to her knees. Everyone froze and watched as Ikaris floated down, his lips pulled into a smirk. ‘Oh don’t too upset Y/N, you don’t love him.’ He taunted, you stood taller and squared your shoulders as you slowly blinked. ‘Y/N.’ Ringo called out, Phastos started to make his way over as well. You looked back to the mountain that now had lava spurting from the top, you then looked around for Thena but you couldn’t see her anywhere. Everyone was dishevelled and tired, their clothes burnt and tattered. ‘Sersi?’ You called out, Ikaris raised an eyebrow. ‘Yeah?’ You heard her reply, you faced Ikaris again. ‘Stop it.’ You replied, Ikaris looked amused. ‘She won’t be able to stop it, not when I’m here.’ Ikaris stated, the corner of your lips curled up as you turned back to him. ‘Good thing you wont be here for long then.’ You told him before he could react you surged forward, you shoulder collided with his chest, as you wrapped your arms around him and lifted off. ‘What are you doing?’ He grunted out, you tight grip around him was pushed off, both of you floated in the air, the clouds floated around your feet. ‘Stopping your mistake.’ You snarled, he tilted his head to the side. ‘Mistake?’ He questioned.

‘We were to let this happen.’ He pointed down below him, a low groan could be heard of the ground breaking apart. ‘I’m not letting you kill the world that I’ve came to grew and love, not when I’m still breathing.’ You replied, he shot lasers at you which you quickly dodged, you swept his feet, the force caused him to twirl around. ‘You awfully angry Y/N.’ Ikaris stated, you pursed your lips. ‘Of course I am, you killed Ajak and Gilgamesh, even twisted Sprite’s mind.’ You reminded him, he smiled. ‘Sprite willingly joined me.’ Ikaris reminded you, you shook your head. ‘She joined you because she loved you Ikaris.’ You told him, he shrugged. ‘Isn’t it you that said love isn’t true?’ He quizzed, you bared your teeth to him. ‘Yes, but you seem to have a pattern of using love to get to people.’ You said, he held up a finger. ‘Once, I’ve did it.’ ‘Sersi.’ You spat out, he froze and you tilted your head to the side. ‘Oh, you forgot about your first love, didn’t you?’ You asked, ‘the woman gave you everything, but yet you broke her heart and now your back agains trying to send us back for what?’ You quizzed. ‘To get her to fall in love with you again?’ You said, his eyes darkened. ‘It’s for her own good.’ He grunted out, you arched an eyebrow, the clouds were climbing at your sides. ‘Yeah, no, I’m not falling for that bullshit.’ You told him, he bared his teeth at you as he squared his shoulders and you watched as his eyes redden. Taking a deep breath you surged forward again, the cool air brushed against your side before a steering hot flash went down your side but you continued on your path. You shoulder dug it’s self into his chest again, your arm wrapped around his waist, fingers interlocked as you pushed up. The pair of you continued to rise, Ikaris fought against you but he didn’t break the grasp you had on him. The air suddenly turned freezing as you broke the atmosphere, you looked down and you could see the earth as it continued to get smaller. ‘Y/N.’ Ikaris said, he started to sound panicked. ‘Y/N, please, I’ll hand myself over.’ He said, you ignored him as you fought against him as he wrinkled. ‘You’ll die.’ He said, you titled you head back and looked at him. ‘I know.’ You replied, with one last push you felt the warmth of the sun hit you, taking a deep breath you unwrapped your arms and pushed him backwards. Ikaris didn’t fight as he disappeared into the bright orb, you smiled when you could no longer see him. A weight had been lifted off your chest before a a large laser shot out, it connected with your chest and sent you spiralling backwards, which caused you to pass out.

Y/n's feet dangled off a cliff as he watched the people below him. His mother, Rhea, sent him to make sure the people of Greece were safe and well cared for. The mission was a bit boring at times, he mainly just watered crops and purified water. But he hoped for something exciting. He was about to climb down and return to Aktiki, when he saw a creature sprinting towards the city. He launched himself off the mountain, jumping everytime he hit the earth so he would land in front of the gates. When he reached his destination, he got a good look at the creature. It has leathery black skin and was the size of the cities temple and had large horns bigger than his arm. Grabbing the trident from his back, and flexing his shield arm he got into a defensive stance, prepared to protect his people. Then the creature face planted in front of him, a women in white pushing a golden spear into its back. Y/n lowered his trident and tilted his head, looking her over. "Hello." She said, pursing her lips, the spear in her hands disappearing. The creature went to stand up, but both of them plunged their weapons into its head, another spear appearing in her hands. "Hi, I'm Y/n, the people here call me Poseidon." He held his hand to her and helped her off the corpse. "I'm Thena." She said, and nodded to him before looking over her shoulder. He followed her gaze to where a group of other men and women fought other black creatures. One of them summoned a golden exoskeleton and punched them, another shot golden light from his hands, and one was so fast that Y/n could only see her when she stopped moving. When all the creatures were dead, another group walked towards Y/n, following behind a women in a blue and gold dress. The warriors all went to walk behind her, and that's when he saw one he didn't notice before. He floated down next to them and was wearing a skin tight blue and gold suit, and he was possibly the most handsome man y/n has ever seen.

When the group reached Y/n and Thena, the women in front nodded to Thena before bowing to Y/n. "Hello, I am Ajak. Is this your city?" Y/n moved his gaze from the flying hottie to her. "I am the cities protectors. But it is run by the senators. Come, I will take you to them, but only you and the two best fighters, the others must stay." Ajak nodded before following him along with Thena and the flying hottie. Y/n opened the gates, waving to the people who came to watch them. "This is Aktiki. Over there is the temple to the gods, which is where I live. And over there is the school, where the biys of the city learn the arts, as well as war. Here, we place importance on your intelligence, just as much as your skills in battle." Y/n motioned to the building, all of the boys inside it looking out towards them. "And the girls?" Thena asked, staring at Y/n suspiciously. "The senators dont believe girls should do anything but cool, clean, and weave. Which is why I teach them all myself inside the temple and at night, because in the temple, the only law is the law of the gods, which they say I am one. Speaking of weaving, this is the home of Aktiki's greatest weaver, Arachne!" Y/n opened the door to show the trio. The only furniture in the small home was a bed, a small cooking pot, a loom, a spindle, and pots filled with dyes. Sitting at the loom was a woman with inky black hair weaving a tapestry depicting Y/n standing on a rock holding his trident in the air as 4 horses made of water reared behind him. The tapestry got a few details wrong, like him being naked and having a six pack, but was nevertheless very complimenting. Y/n closed the door and the 4 of them walked to the building in the center of town. He walked inside, Ajak beside him and Thena and Flying Hottie behind them. "Senators! This is Ajak, she is the leader of the warriors who saved Aktiki." The men stared at Y/n with reverence, but when he motioned to Ajak, their faces turned into distaste. "Hello senators. I am Ajak, the leader of the Eternals, and we are here to...." Ajak stepped forward and began speaking beut was cut off when the senator in the middle stood up. "Lord Y/n, you know out customs and laws, women are not permitted to enter the courthouse." A low growl escaped from the throats of Y/n, Thena, and Flying Hottie, and Ajak let out a breath in disbelief. "Senators, I have told you multiple times that..." Y/n was cut off by a golden, glowing sword extended from Thena's hand and sliced the senators cheek. "Thena, we do not use violence agaimst humans, no matter how... Aggravating they may be. Good senator, I am sorry about her behavior, here let me." Ajak walked up and held her hand over the senators cheek, a golden glow emitting from her hand and healing the cut. When Ajak stepped back, all of the senators stood up and dropped to their knees. "We apologize my lady, we did not know we were in the presence of goddesses. Forgive us for our insolence." The head senator said, begging at Ajak's feet. She simply brushed her hand over his head and smiled. "We are not gods, we merly wish to be granted residence in your city." All of the senators agreed, as well as offered them multiple offerings ranging from food to gold to humans.

Y/n pushed open the doors to the temple, welcoming the Eternals inside. The building was the largest in the city and had multiple fountains inside. Decorating the walls were multiple tapestries made by Arachne, each one depicting a different deed done by Y/n. "This one is when I 'created' horses. I merely tamed some and bred them. Oh, and this one was when me and my brothers killed our father, its a little more acurate, but he was, lets just say my mother didn't want 6 kids." Y/n showed them each the different tapestries until they made it to the end of the hall, where the statue stood. "Its not very accurate since no one in the city has ever seen me in less than my armor, but it was a gift, so I keep it." Y/n explained as they looked up at the large and very naked statue. "I swear the people of this city have this thing with nudity and gods. Like, it's such a problem for gods to be wearing clothes." Y/n complained and motioned for them to follow him downstairs where the bedrooms were. "There were multiple rooms built, in case other gods showed up. Pick one and it's yours." Y/n waved his hands at all of the rooms and smiled at all of them. "Thanks, but we have rooms." The smallest of the room said, giving him a false sweet smile. A loud thud came from above the temple and Y/n ran to see what it was. A large triangular thing was now sitting on the temple, its black color was a stark contrast to the white marble. "What is that?!" Y/n yelled, looking at Ajak. "The Domo, our starship. It is how we got to earth." She explained, looking at the ship with a smile. Y/n looked at her before jumping up to it. He landed in front of what he assumed was the entance, which is where the Flying Hottie was leaning against the wall. "Hi." He said, holding up two fingers in a small wave. "Hello, so this is why you missed the tour." Y/n said, walking into the ship uninvited. "Someone had to make sure Phastos didn't crash." He said, trailing behind Y/n. "I never caught your name." He was now walking backwards, smiling at the Flying Hottie. "Its Ikaris." His smile was basically melting y/n, and his voice was basically music. Y/n bit his lip and smiled at him. "Well Ikaris, I'm Y/n. The people of Aktiki call me Poseidon, god of the sea." Y/n flexed a bit, causing Ikaris to chuckle lightly. "One place we lived called me the god of something once, I think the only place to give me a specific title. They called me Aengus Og, god of... What was it again?" Y/n felt his back touch a wall, but Ikaris was still walking towards him. "Oh thats right. I was the god of..." His mouth was right next to y/n's ear and his breath made him shudder. "Love." The two held eye contact, y/n had his hands on Ikaris's chest, and Ikaris had his hands on both sides of Y/n's head. Y/n was moving before he realized it, and he didn't realize it until he felt Ikaris biting at his lips. Y/n's eyes fluttered closed, and his hands slid up to wrap around Ikaris' neck. Ikaris's tongue slid into y/n's mouth, who let him take control. They were there for who knows how long before Ikaris moved from y/n's mouth to his neck. If he was human, y/n would be panting but instead he was just groaning and whining. Y/n grabbed Ikaris' head before he could go any lower. "Lets take this to one of our rooms."

Its been 5 months since the Eternals showed up, and it changed alot. First, the city took a great liking to Thena, even changing the cities name to Athens, and changing the temple from solely Y/n, to mostly Thena, but they always called her Athena, which annoyed her plenty. Amother change was Y/n's relationship with the city. As Thena grew more popular with them, and as Y/n spent more time with Ikaris than helping them, they began to make legends about Poseidon and Athena's rivalry, despite Thena and y/n's friendship and mutual respect for the other. And the worst change was Medusa. She was a new priestess in the temple of Thena, which required a vow of celibacy so as to not distract them from their duties. But Medusa had other plans.

Y/n was sitting in the main room of the temple, having recieved a note from someone asking him to meet them there. He assumed it was Ikaris, and only wore a loose toga and didn't carry any weapons. He was grumbling about the removal of most of the fountains, when he felt two hands on his shoulders. He turned around with a smile, but was met with the face of Medusa, instead of his lover. When he saw her, his face darkened. She had been harassing him for days now, sending him presents like statues she carved, or snakes she found. Y/n took a step back and shook his head. "Medusa, I have tried to ignore you and I've tried rejecting you nicely. But I am fed up. You have been told by me, you have been told by Ikaris, and you have been told by Thena. I am in a relationship, so leave me alone." Y/n turned to leave, but Medusa grabbed his arm and twirled him around, throwing him to the ground. She climbed on top of him, a crazy smile on her face. "I know what you've said, but you don't get it. I love you more than he ever will!" Medusa punched him in the face, which the situation left him dazed and shocked, too shocked to try and fight back. Medusa rubbed his chest and pulled her skirts up before sitting back on his lap. "I'll show you just how much i love you." She whispered, causing y/n to whimper. She was about to grab his toga when she was hit by what looked like a golden spear. Y/n turned his head to the side to see a furious Thena and Ikaris. Ikaris moved to Y/n, holding him while Thena walked toward Medusa, who sat on the floor, holding her now bleeding face. "You dare. In not just my temple, not just my home, but his as well? You have been warned human. You have been warned by me, and by him, and by Ikaris. Now, you will receive no warnings, just punishment." Thena said, a golden dagger glowing to life in her hand. She bent over Medusa, holding the blade to her face and y/n had to look away. His sobs and Ikaris's soothing words were almost enough to block out Medusas screams. Almost.

A week later, y/n stood on a rock, watching as the waves crashed onto the shore, the water never touching him as if it was too respectful to even think of it. His grip on his trident had been tighter than it ever was before the incident. Thena had carved thr image of a snake onto Medusas forhead, and what looked like scales on her cheeks and arms. The city had said it was because she caught him and Medusa making love in the temple, but she couldn't punish him for his actions, so she disfigured her. Other said it was basically what actually happened, but with a role reversal, with Y/n attacking her. No matter how the story was told, it always made him and Thena look bad.

He stared into the water, the foam and sea spray calming him. That was until he heard the crunch of sand behind him and he twirled around, trident pointing at the person who snuck up on him. Ajak stood there, unflinching as the longest blade rested on her chin. "Hello Y/n. Do you have a minute?" She asked, brushing the trident to the side and healing the small cut on her chin. He nodded putting the weapon on his back and sitting next to her on the rock. "As you know, we were sent to this planet by Arishem with very strict instructions and a very clear mission. And all of us have been very loyal and very dedicated to that mission. Until we came here. Phastos is teaching at the school and helping the smiths, Sersi is assisting the priestesses with teaching the girls and has begun dating on of them named Hekate, Thena and Ikaris are not only defending the city from non-Deviant threats, but they are also attacking humans." When Ajak stopped talking, y/n's jaw clenched and he looked at her, a storm brewing in his stomach, and the clouds swirling above him. "Arishem is aware of these, and he blames you. He has claimed that you are a bad influence on the Eternals, your loyalties to humanity are distracting them from their goals." The two were now standing and the ocean was churning as much as Y/n's stomach. "I have done nothing but show them the truth. I showed Phastos something he loves and brings him more joy than anything you have given him. That is the same with Sersi. She found not only something, but someone she loves and she is happy. And Thena protected me from Medusa, and maybe she wasn't a Deviant, and maybe Thena fought against the Spartan army when they attacked the city. But, this is her city. She loves it like how Phastos loves teaching, and like how Sersi loves Hekate, and like how Ikaris love me. I am not a bad influence. I have shown them what they are missing and I gave it to them. So the only persom my influence is bad for, is you and Arishem." Y/n growled, the sky now being pitch black and rain pouring around them, but not on them. The sea was now raging, the waves crashing against the rocks and shore so violently that they would kill a human. Y/n stormed away from Ajak, taking his circle of dry space with him, leaving her alone to think in the storm she caused.

Y/n played with Ikaris' chest hair, his fingers dancing through the brown curls. "Do you ever regret it? Leaving the Eternals in Athens?" Y/n looked up at Ikaris, who was staring at him in such a loving way that Y/n felt shiver through his whole body. "Sometimes I think of what life would be like if I stayed, if I remained with Ajak, and my loyalty to Arishem never wavered. But then I remember the past thousand years with you and it all goes away." Ikaris kissed y/n's forehead and wrapped and arm around him. "I love you." Y/n said as they stared at the ceiling, each other wrapped in the others arms. "I love you too."

This was based off a writin prompt I thought of, which was literally: "I'm not a bad influence. My influence is only bad for you." And this was the only pairing I could think of.

I'm staring to struggle. Urgh. Well, back to fanfiction writing then
