In Every Universe, I Choose You [Random x Reader oneshots]

The Type of Guy To... [Octavian]

- Super sweet but gets jealous easily

- He's not even jealous, he's insecure in himself and thinks you'll leave him so he always tries to overcompensate with a lot of gifts and a lot of attention. However, he doesn't make his insecurity your problem. He's aware of it, and doesn't need you to know it.

- His love language to give is quality time. He loves just you and him sitting quietly as he does his work in the augury.

- He's possessive in subtle ways. A hand on the small of your back, standing close, holding your arm in his own. Subtle ways to tell everyone he's yours and you are his.

- He can't be with a weak minded person. No, he needs to be with someone who knows what they want and how they want it. An authoritative woman who demands respect.

- Always buys you the finest clothes and jewelry. One as a gift for you, but two, he will not be seen with someone who looks less than perfection. (although he argues you could wear anything and make it look like couture fashion.)

- Sunburns don't exist. Not for him. Even as pale as he is, being the legacy of Apollo means a little bit more sun tolerance. However... the one time you tell him to put sunscreen on and he refuses, you simply sigh. He gets sunburnt for the first time, almost like Apollo was telling him to listen to you.

- Always acts big and mighty, but the second he's alone with you, he melts into your touch, leaning into it, hiding his face in your chest and whining about his day and how mean Reyna is.

- The day he confessed he was 14, and had known you since you both arrived at camp. He gathered up all his courage, waited till you were alone and he just went up to you, nervous as could be and he handed you a scroll. The scroll was about three feet in length detailing everything he liked about you and what he admired, as well as just his lovesick rambles.

- After a jealous spell, he'll talk to you about it after. He mumbles and asks if you would prefer an actual demigod with actual demigod strength and powers. When you say no and reassure him that you love him for a lot more than that, he nuzzles his nose against yours, and says he loves you too

- Not big on PDA despite wanting to show that you are his. A simple holding of hands or leaning against each other is more than enough. Not having public make outs in the pavilion. He thinks that's gross. Ew.

- Collects odd things. Brings you odd things. Like a crow, he's always bringing you something he found. An oddly shaped rock, or maybe the skull of a bird if you're into that sort of thing.

- Really really really rEALLY likes dinosaurs. I don't know why. But he loves them. When he was little, he used to have a ton of Dino books and figures. Now that he's 18, he keeps more adult things... like Dino slippers, and small scale models of fossils, and Dino Lego sets. Thank you very much.

- Keeps a list of things you don't like, and a list of things you do like. All your favorites and things you hate.

- Personally, I think he's very intelligent. He also has perfect pitch. There's more things that being Apollo's legacy does for him other than prophecy. He doesn't play any instruments, but he does have very high standards for music.

- Always with you. You're the only reason he leaves the temple at any given time. All you have to do is give him your best puppy dog eyes, and:
"Taviiii.... Please? I don't wanna go alone..."
Folded.

- Doesn't touch your stuffies. Yours are the only ones spared. He calls them all by their names and doesn't mistreat them because he loves you, and these are part of you.

- He's very proper when he's with you. At first he's almost stiff when he touches you, scared of scaring you off. You're the one good thing in his life, he doesn't want to lose you

- You lead some workshops and trainings so like... occasionally when he's touring a new group of kids he'll take them to you.
"And this is Y/N, my beloved. She's in charge of a lot but mainly archery. You'll be with her a lot, not as much as me..."
"Octavian... they're six, they're not trying to do anything."
"...okay but you're still mine I want your attention always."

- Awkward first kiss. Because that is his first kiss. And yours. He just goes for it, teeth hit teeth, heads bump against each other... but you wouldn't change it for the world.

- The only person he listens to. Senate meeting? You're the only one who can reel him back, and the only one that can talk some sense into him.

- Loves when you wear flowing Roman style dresses because he says you look like a statue... a model of perfection
