Challenge: AU: Internat (fürs Team)
Fandom: Heroes of Olympus
Pairing: Leo Valdez --> Frank Zhang (Frank/Hazel)
Wörter: 755
A/N: Arson, sodomy and other clichés.
Ich habe noch nie über Internat/boarding school AUs nachgedacht und selten so viel Spaß gehabt. Exakt so ernst sollte man das hier nehmen. :)
When they'd shipped Leo off to boarding school, he'd been promised (or threatened with, but Leo wasn't one for nitpicking) certain scenarios, many of which fell into the 'involuntary sodomy' category. Leo had just rolled his eyes then, because how cliché could one be?
Of course, nobody had warned him about friendly, adorable, endearingly awkward roommates that would never sodomize anybody, no matter how loudly they volunteered.
Which was a definite oversight. Bullying, hazing and sexual assault all were problems that Leo firmly believed in solving with arson (which possibly was what had gotten him here in the first place), but there was no way he could set fire to Frank Zhang's soft brown eyes. Or the way his own heart fluttered when these eyes were turned on him.
So, to answer his initial question: One could in fact be insanely, stupidly cliché. He'd just gotten his clichés mixed up and fallen straight for one of his roommates.
Leo really, really wanted to set something on fire.
Instead, he dragged himself out of bed in the middle of the night to aid Frank in his ridiculous (cute) attempt to sneak out of the school to meet his girlfriend who attended the pretentious Girls' school on the other side of town. "You're regular star-crossed lovers, hu?" Leo had hissed when Frank had presented his half-baked escape plan. Frank, who was charmingly immune to sarcasm and the acidity in Leo's words, had blushed fiercely and started stammering.
And, naturally, Leo had taken up the escape planning because there really was no dishonest bone in Frank Zhang's body and he and his lovely Hazel deserved the world and then some.
So, on a Thursday night at 1:30 a.m., Leo deactivated the dormitory building's fire alarm system and lead Frank down the escape stairs behind the kitchen. To think that Frank's original plan had involved falling to his death after climbing out of a fifth story window... Hopeless. (Adorable.)
Leo had cut the fence wires behind the hedges during lunch break so that he now only needed to roll it up for his friend. "That's it. Have you remembered the path between the security cameras?"
Frank held up the map Leo had drawn with a smile. "I'll figure it out."
"Good, good. You've got the night bus schedule and I'm prepared with the diversion should it be necessary. -- For everything else, you're on your own, big guy." He slapped Frank's bulging biceps softly and got a confused eyebrow rise in return.
"Everything else?"
Leo snorted. "The snogging, seduction, sex part of the mission, obviously, the three S!"
It was a good thing the school did not employ heat sensors because Frank's face turned red-hot in an instant. Leo was sure he could have seen it even without the torch light.
"I- I wouldn't--Leo!"
"What? That's why I'm sneaking you out, isn't it?"
"We're dating."
"That's what I'm--" Leo had to bite his tongue to not ruin the escape by shouting over the whole school grounds. "Oh no, no, no, Frank, my sweet summer child... Tell me you have at least kissed somebody before."
It was physically impossible to turn any redder than Frank had already been and, yet, he managed.
"Oh God, you're hopeless," breathed Leo and meant wonderful and impossible, and, yes, fucking hopeless. "Well, I can't let you ruin my perfectly planned date night, so..." He slung one arm around Frank's shoulders to pull him down to his height, then let the other hand cradle Frank's face and kissed him like the selfless roommate he was.
In the back of his mind, a voice insisted that this, too, was a fucking cliché, but when Frank finally moved his lips a bit, Leo couldn't help but find that he did enjoy at least some clichés.
After a few seconds, Leo let go of him and slapped his back. "And that's how you do that, big guy. Really, you'd be lost without me."
Frank stuttered for a bit and finally settled on a breathy "Thank you."
"Any time. Literally, any time. But now you need to go, the bus leaves in five minutes."
With some more stammering and blushing, Frank vanished into the night. And Leo really needed to set something on fire. Like, the entire school, preferably.
