whats your favourite Jake and Michael hc??
that Michael is like the clingiest person ever when Jake is around
like one minute he's snapping and swearing at some random Ares kid and throwing punches and kicking kneecaps and shit
and then Jake walks in, picks him up and drags him away, where the lil guy just sits on his lap like a happy lil koala getting his cuddles
they're so freaking cute
so fckin accurate I swear <3
Michael not liking to be touched by people outside his siblings and few rare others.
When he started getting close to Jake, Jake become one those that Michael was more comfortable with physical contact
Also meaning Michael very much started to want physical contact from Jake.
It felt wierd for him. Being hugged or hugging his little siblings is one thing. But wanting the same with Jake was entirely different.
Jake of course respected Michael's usual boundaries of no contact, and Michael was too stubborn to actually ask for the contact he wanted.
He would occasionally grab for Jake's hands or arms, but he never did much else. Even after they first started dating.
It wasn't until one night he had overworked himself to point of getting sick.
Jake had caught him a fevered mess in the infirmary one night and had tried to help him back to his cabin.
But Michael's legs gave out from under him, and Jake had to carry him to one of the cots.
He had went to move away after he had placed Michael down when Michael immediately grabbed his arm, making a soft noise of complaint. He wouldn't let go until Jake moved to lay beside him in the cot, letting the small son of Apollo feverishly nuzzle into his arms.
Both had fell asleep there, waking up not too long after by Lee who had came looking for Michael.
Lee did not let it go for the rest of the week, that's for sure.
After that Jake was a bit more cuddly with Michael when he got the chance. Michael would try to act annoyed but he would always lean right into it. He very much enjoyed his overly cuddly boyfriend, even if he tried to pretend he didn't.
"You have to run your hands through my hair?"
"You're practically purring like a cat."
"Shut up."
I love them, the sillies
