Work Text:
It was a beautiful day as Paul Blofis was reading through his notes ,preparing himself for his exam that was supposed to begin some hours later,when some guy bumped into him making his notes fall to the ground.
''Oh shi- sorry, sir I didn't see you,'' apologized Paul even if he wasn't the one who bumped into him. He went to gather his notes ,his hair getting into his face as he scrambled top get all of his notes. But apparently look wasn't on his side since one was still missing. Only when he looked up as the guy snapped his fingers as if to get Paul's attention. In the guy's hand was the missing note and when Paul was about to grab it, he realized that the guy didn't really look a lot older than him. But his presence and appearence made shivers run down Paul's spine. The guy wasn't ugly by any means with his amber almost golden eyes that feel like light is coming out of them or his golden-red hair ,that when Paul looked a little to close looked like fire was there instead of hair. No - it was the fact that it felt like the guy could know about his life in seconds by mere observations.
''Did you looked for this?'' asks the guy, his voice was deep and somehow amusing as if Paul losing his notes was something to make fun of.
Paul nods his head before suddently realizing that he is still on his knees. He stands up embarrassed before reaching for his note but the guy doesn't give it to him as he read what was written on it.
''Hey, give it back,'' says Paul but a look from the guy shuts him up ,when he felt the air around them becoming even hotter than before.
''English, not suprising,'' the guy states after looking him up and down. Paul feels insulted as he protests ''Hey,what does that mean?''
The guy laughs at that before shaking his head. Paul could swear that he heard him mutter something about mortals and their styles that match what they are studying. The guy stretches his hand forward giving Paul his note back.
''I'm Hyperion,'' Hyperion introduced himself and Paul couldn't help but ask, ''Like the titan Hyperion from greek mythology?''
Hyperion smirks, ''Yeah ,excactly like from greek mythology''
Now Paul really feels like he is getting pranked with how Hyperion is acting towards him. He looks around but can't find anything or anyone that seems weird or out of place in the park. Paul looks at himself and doesn't really find anything wrong other than that his pants are now a little dirty from kneeling to gather his notes when they fell. Paul looks at Hyperion again somehow he got even more amused as if seeing Paul look confused brought him joy. It weirds Paul out.
''I'm Paul,'' introduced Paul himself after a minute of silince which they both looked at eachother. Paul really felt like a prey for some reason as Hyperion looks at him with those eyes of his. It makes him feel like he was nothing next to Hyperion as if he were some kind of god. But it's not like gods exist or anything.
Hyperion draws his back to Paul as he began to walk away as he says, ''Better go get ready for your exam, Paul Blofis''
Paul was about go to his college when he realised he didn't tell Hyperion his last name but when he turned to look the direction where Hyperion was walking he wasn't there as if he has vanished. Paul goes to look around before sighting and looking at the time and realising that he didn't have as much time anymore and he ran to his college to change his pants not wanting to do his exam in dirty pants.
Timeskip to after the exams
Paul was walking through a city when he ran into Hyperion who was sitting on a bench looking at people walking past him amused. Paul despite not really knowing Hyperion well, sat next to him. For a split second Hyperion was suprised before masking it with an amused expression. Paul is confused when Hyperion snaps his fingers but doesn't asks as he hears him speak in some kind of language that he assumes is greek. Hyperion turns to him with those eyes that seem to sparkle more that the first day they met.
''Well,well didn't think I see you here,'' says Hyperion,''Don't you have exams to deal with or any friends to hang out with'' He wasn't asking, he was stating facts since who would spend time with a stranger than with his friends but it wasn't Paul's fault that all of his friends are either celebrating or sleeping from their stress and it was Paul's luck that he saw Hyperion and decided to join him. Paul shakes his head as he answers,''Friends are sleeping or partying and I don't feel like either of those things right now and to your information I finished all my exams.''
Paul didn't know why he was telling Hyperion this,it was not like they were friends. They had just met some days ago and it wasn't excactly on friendly terms. Paul thought that Hyperion was kinda an asshole not that he would say it to his face as he felt like it wouldn't go well and frankly he liked living just fine. Paul couldn't explain it but even if Hyperion is like that and scares him with how authority his presence speaks as if he was older than he actually looks like.
''And you decided to instead spent time with a stranger,'' Hyperion says mockingly,''Oh Paul, your surviving skills make me laugh what if I was planning to murder you or blackmail you, it would be rather easy don't you think.''
Paul felt himself freeze before blushing as he saw that Hyperion's shirt was unbuttoned and Paul could practically feel his mouth watering before shaking himself out of it. Paul looks away mortified that of his reacton just because he saw some guy's abs. But who could blame him this guy was hot. Hyperion brings his hand to Paul's chin making him turn his head to Hyperion.
''Do you like what you see?'' before Paul can stutter an excuse ,Hyperion leaves and Paul puts his head in his hands and when he looked up Hyperion was nowhere to be seen. Paul then stands up and goes back to his dorm embarrassed thinking that now Hyperion thought that Paul would sleep gladly with a stranger just because they are hot.
Days go by and somehow Paul and Hyperion ran into each other regularly as if Hyperion knew where Paul would be. Every time Paul stopped to talk to Hyperion or keep him company. They talked about greek mythology, history and overall their interests. Hyperion still was an asshole but Paul didn't mind that much but he knew that Hyperion kept something hidden from him and always looked around as if he wasn't supposed to be there. Paul was getting worried that his new friend was being chased by police but he didn't ask. Not because he idn;t want to but because then their conversations would be cut short and he liked them.
One day when Paul was about a week before he starts teaching, Hyperion kissed him when they were chatting the first time at Paul's apartament. Paul was shocked but kissed him back. The night they spent together in bed. That became their routine for soem weeks before Hyperion dissapeared completely without a word until some days later when Paul woke up to a baby crying in his living room.
''What the-,'' Paul goes to calm the baby wondering how they got here when he sees a note on the table and nearly faints when he reads it.
''Dear Paul Blofis,
You're defenitely asking yourself whose baby you're holding. It ours. I must say I didn't think I would have a demigod child but apparently I was wrong. Mortals are so cute when confused. Have fun raising because godly parent aren't allowed to really be in their chilren's lives. Don't worry there is a camp for kids like her ,Camp Half-blood on the north shore of Long Island in New York it's near Montauk. I wouldn't send here there since I'm technically a criminal as you may know for being on Kronos's side in the war Titanomachy and was banished to Tartarus where I'm going back to not raise any suspicions. It's not like you will tell on me with the spell I put on you on our second meeting. Have fun raising our daughter. My wife Theia also sends her regards.
Yours faithfully,
Hyperion
Titan of heavenly light, watching and observation''
''Fuck,'' Paul says before calling his friends to pick him some things for the baby that he named Harley Blofis who in his arms laughs at her dad panicking not knowing what her future entails.
