BTLG- Curl Misunderstandings - Greece x Reader

“Zzzzzzzzzzz”

 

*Rrrrrrr!*

“Uh?”

You woke up to a strange grumble. Then *POW!*

The ground around you shook; it shook so hard that your teeth rattled.

In shock you sat straight up.

Then another earthquake hit! *GRRR!*

You saw a huge shadow loom over you and once you looked up, it took a moment for you to realize some ruins were about to fall on top of you!

One of the huge columns fell toward you. “EEEK!” you screeched. In a split second, your body was launched to move.

Your poor palms had its skin shaved off as you escaped the falling columns. You then burst onto your feet and ran!

‘Where the hell am I?!’ you mentally bellowed. Your eyes scanned the place as you ran.

Ruins littered everywhere showing you were at some type of lost, crumbling city. The strangest thing was that a lot of these ruins resembled the ones in Greece.

“Could it really be-?!” You were cut off mid-sentence as another earthquake hit. You tripped once the ground shook. Losing your footing, your body landed harshly. The side of your forehead came into contact with a flat column. *crack!*

“Nah!” you shouted it pain. You could have just laid there as another pile of rubble above you threatened to crush you. Doing a barrel roll to get out of the way, you once again ran for your life; desperate to find a way out of this crumbling hellhole to a safe, stable place.

Your goal was so singularly in your head that you failed to notice that you tripped over a body. “Gah!” The world became a blur of motion as your head once again contacted a surface…except this time it was softer and warm. Your head by now started to throb and you vaguely felt something leaving- no more like something that was being taken away…but what it was you didn’t know yet.

 

(POV switch to Mr. Sexy Cat Man)

Greece was lying down in his backyard sleeping soundly with all his mewing kittens.

The dream he was having was a particularly strange one. It felt so real.

In it was a girl with [h/c] hair in a ponytail running towards him scared. The way she reached out to him made him want to, in turn, reach out to her. Her [e/c] orbs were beginning to tear and her pajama clothes were flapping against the wind while she ran. “Help” was all she said before he woke up to the sound of his cats screeching.

Being the sleepy person he was he said, “What’s… the matter?”

The cats had their tails stalk-straight up and their fur was becoming fluffy. Their claws sheathed and they all had frightened or grimaced faces.

Greece was puzzled when they were behaving this way until another earthquake rumbled underneath him.

He softly smiled and reached out to one of his kittens and petted it. The cat was at first reluctant to calm down until he crooned, “It’s only a little earthquake….it happens…all the time…here” The cats once hearing their master’s soothing voice calmed down also. He yawned. Gosh all this talk was making him sleepy.

Then another earthquake hit; this one much stronger than the previous one. The cats once again got frightened and shrieked.

Trying to calm his cats once again, he saw a figure in the distance. His sleepy eyes widened.

The girl, the same girl from his dream was running to him. Fright was evident on her face as she ran. But she was running to fast; so fast that she would soon run into him.

“W-wait” he said, but it was too late.

The girl didn’t notice him until the last second and screamed. Her head collided with his chest and all the wind was knocked out of him.

He would have moved to get her off of him but her hand was tangled in his hair….

(Back to Reader’s POV haha!)

 “O-ow” you said. You used your touch sense and felt that you landed on a very hard muscled body. In shock, you lifted yourself off the said body. Seeing his masculine features you said, “S-Sorry mister! I am so so very sorry! I-“ you stopped talking once you found out who you actually landed on.

‘Do my eyes deceive me!?’

No your eyes were correct. It was Heracles Karpusi. Tanned skin set a perfect contrast with his bleached white shirt. Muscles outlined perfectly beneath his tight shirt and his rock hard body was beneath you.

“G-Greece?”

Olive eyes once riddled with sleepiness were now undoubtedly awake and sharp…along with something else…lust?

‘Huh?! Why is he giving me that look?’ your mind thought.

You tried to lift yourself off of him because the look he was giving you was borderline rapist. You tried to move your right hand to find out that it was stuck in his silky chocolate brown hair. You tried to disentangle your hand from his head when he twitched suddenly and grabbed you’re a$$.

“Eep!” you squeaked.

“Nuh~” He moaned.

You were shaking because you felt his moan reverberate throughout his entire body. ‘What is he doing? Why is he so active all of a sudden!?’

Then looking back to your tangled hand, you found the source of the problem. Your finger was curled around his double curl.

He was visibly blushing, “M-My curl”

Your already pink face was turning scarlet. “I-I know I just noticed! I-I’m so sorry! Let me just-“ You hurriedly tried to get the curl off of your finger. But the damn thing was stuck!

“It seems to be s-stuck” You said.

“Please…” he replied. A corner of his mouth had a bit of drool.

He seemed to be pleading. He wanted you to stop touching his curl. “O-okay” You had to lean over his face to really disengage the flipping curl. Your face was more than hot because you were pretty sure your tanktop was slipping down and he was getting a full view of your bra.

Just then frightened cats seemed to calm down once they felt your presence. They liked you for some apparent reason. These cats started then licking your hands as you fussed with Greece’s hair. “Stop please! I need to get my hand away from his curl” But the cats refused to stop bothering you. After a while you got angry, “I said quit it!” You lashed up your hands in anger; thus freeing you from his curl.

Poor Greece (or should I say lucky Greece?) had a dazed expression like he was in heaven. Feeling that he wasn’t moving, you looked down and quickly jumped off of him. “Greece? Greece?! Are you okay?!”

The Grecian man looked to you with half-lidded eyes. “Sensual…Goddess…”

“My God! Did me pulling on his curl make him delusional!?” you murmured. He was dreamily smiling and rubbing his face against your thigh.

You swatted his pervy hands away from you and pushed his head off your thigh. “S-Stop!”

“Why~?” he started crawling to you like a cat and licked his lips like he was going to eat a tasty treat.

You were sliding away from him when a little cat rubbed against your leg and meowed. You petted it. “Hey little guy, do you know how I can somehow make him not delusional and/or perverted?”

The kitty meowed again and walked over to him. It jumped on his back while Hercules was making his way over to you. Then the kitty jumped on his head and bit his curl!

“Dah!” Greece yelled. Then he stood stock straight up and thankfully turned back to his usual self…but more awake.

He looked down to you and blushed. “I-I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to frighten you…my curl”

“Y-Yeah. I know. It was just as much of a shock to me as it was to you” You looked up to him. One of the cats was purring against your arm. You smiled, “Hey little guy” You nuzzled the kitty and it mewed happily.

Hercules smiled. He outstretched his hand to you. “Here…standup”

You gratefully took his hand and stood up. “Thank you”

He was about to yawn when another earthquake struck. The cats and you freaked out. Another pile of ruins fell to the ground making you scream. You huddled against Greece’s muscled body with the kitty.

Seeing as this was not the best place to sleep anymore, Hercules put an arm around your shoulders and nonchalantly asked, “Do you… want to come to my home? Its… too loud here”

You nodded. “Yes, I would like that”

You and Hercules were walking toward the direction of his house. And everytime an earthquake struck, he would give you a reassuring squeeze on the shoulders to calm you down.

The walk to his house was thankfully not a long one.

The whole time he was comforting you, you couldn’t help but feel hot from head to toe. Also, it didn’t help that your mind kept wondering what would have happened if you never untangled your hand from his curl… would he have had se-?!

‘Stop it _____! There no time to think about that…I mean you did technically molest him for Christ’s sake!’ You put a thumb to your lip. ‘I wonder if I freaked him out- I hope not’

Hercules looked down to your pensive face as he opened the door to his house. He saw your eyebrows knitted together and looking down thoughtfully.

“Hey”

You looked up at him. “Hm?”

“Its okay…my curl…you didn’t know”

You opened your mouth but he continued talking. ‘I really am in a different dimension..’

“Besides… I realized you already know…. my country name…how?”

“I-“ You chose your words carefully. “I vaguely remember reading and watching you from somewhere…but where I’m not sure…” ‘What’s going on? Why can’t I remember this simple thing…wait I don’t know how I got here!?’

“Fascinating…. I think I saw you before too…like a vision…” He drowsily said, picking up a cat and rubbing its ears.

“You saw me before- woah-how?!” you replied.

He seemed not to hear your question and asked you, “Do you know my real name…my human name? Its Hercules”

You internally shrugged and thought, ‘I guess it wouldn’t hurt to tell him this truth’ “Yeah I know that. But since you don’t know my name, its ______” You grinned.

“______” He said your name like he tasted a sweet treat. “Its nice, fitting for a cat”

“Um…thanks, I guess” You looked to the cat in his arms; it seemed to get fussy like it wanted something. Then you looked to the cats around you. They were pawing you and Greece like they too wanted something. Until they all started meowing, you realized they were probably hungry.

You giggled, “Seems like they are hungry”

“Yeah… I better get them something… I guess I’m hungry too…do you want something?” His green eyes looked to yours.

“Sure. If its not too much to ask” Then you quickly added, “I’ll help you with the cats”

He nodded and got milk and filled some bowls. He gestured for you to grab the other milk carton to do the same.

While you were putting milk in what seemed to be an endless amount of cat bowls, you looked up to see Hercules making more than just a snack. It seemed like he was making dinner for two!

From the corner of your eye, you watched him cook. When he wasn’t on sleep mode, he was an active person when cooking. He wore a concentrated expression like he was trying to achieve perfection for his food. It was quite amazing to see such an intense look than his usual sleepy self.

He seemed to feel your stare because his eyes looked to your form. You looked quickly down and timidly smiled.

You finally finished putting milk on the last cat bowl and said, “Phew! So many bowls for so many cats!” You wiped sweat from your brow with the back of your hand and put the empty carton on the kitchen counter.

In shock, you saw dinner was finished. Hercules was already setting plates full of food on the table. “What the- how long did I take putting milk for the cats?!”

He put his plate down. Then he sat on his chair and looked up thinking. “About an hour…I think”

“What?! It took me an hour?” Then you muttered, “I guess that makes sense; there are countless cats around here” Then you looked to your food. “Woah that looks delicious!”

You then took a piece of lamb chop and chowed down. It tasted really good. “What is this?” you asked after swallowing a mouthful.

“Its… Païdakia” He put a piece in his mouth and chewed while watching you.

“Mmm…tastes really good~” Your cheeks were puffed up like a chinchilla. Hercules couldn’t help but liking your adorable face; in addition he kept thinking when you pulled his curl.

After receiving your fill of food, you yawned and stretched like a cat. Greece could practically imagine the cat ears on you (well that’s some thought)

He yawned not soon after and said, “Time to sleep” Half the cats yawned in agreement and the other half stared up at you curiously.

He stood up slowly and said, “Are you… going to sleep?”

“Yeah” you yawned into your hand and stood up also. “I guess I will sleep on the couch”

“No”

In surprise, you snapped out of your half-awake state. His ‘no’ was stern. “Huh?”

“No…follow me” He walked toward an open door at the far side of the corridor. The cats that were looking at you followed him. You then followed suit.

‘I wonder where we are going..’ you wondered.

 

~~~~~~~~~Timeskip Of Hercules Straddling You on the Bed and Saying, “My Kitty~” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

You were led into an unlit room. When you first stepped in, you were a bit nervous. ‘Why is this room unlit? Jeez if this is a flashback to what happened earlier-‘ You stopped your thinking before you got a nosebleed.

“Sorry…I forgot to turn on…the light” Hercules stepped in the room with you, went to some random corner of the room, and flipped the switch.

Your eyes needed time to adjust to the light. When they did, you blinked once and said, “Wow”

The room was endearingly beautiful. Blues and whites covered the room as well as antiques from Greece’s history. Vases and many classic pendants rested on his desk and night table. Sculptures of marble and bronze of various sizes littered the room. On huge white marble sculpture held up a huge Grecian flag in its hands.

You turned to Greece and had a huge smile. “This is your room isn’t it? Its so beautiful! These sculptures-antiques are phenomenal!” You touched a pendant. “Such priceless treasures…”

Nodding he said, “I guess” He yawned. “You should rest”

One of your eyebrows raised. “Where?”

He lazily pointed a finger to his king sized bed. “There”

Your ears got red. “What I can’t do that! It’s your bed!”

He was getting ready to fall asleep on the floor with his cats. “It’s yours…sleep”

“I-“ You said but he was already asleep. You smiled and went over to him.

Getting the comforter from his bed, you put it on top of him and the sleeping cats.

In a split second decision, you kissed his cheek and his ear twitched. You giggled thinking the moment would be perfect if he was neko.

Then you went on his bed and snuggled yourself in his silky blankets. You let out a couple of muffled squeals while Hercules slept on the floor beside you.

‘I can’t believe it! I just spent a day with my crush!’ you excitedly thought. ‘And I actually kissed him! Wahoo!’ This whole day was crazy, what started out as an awkward encounter became a sort of fairytale. Your wish from that mirror actually came true!

But as you lay there, you remembered that you were slowly forgetting your old life and the people you knew, but more importantly, your parents you left behind in your own dimension.

Now all that bothered your mind was “Why am I forgetting them?...”

“…And how do I get back home?”
