Notes: Please let me know in a reblog or a comment if you’d be interested in more story style headcanons broken up into parts like this!
Includes: Apollo, Artemis, Marvin, AD, and Rajesh. Adonis will be included in a future part when Apollo spends more time with the reader!
➤ Apollo June
You meet Apollo at a local library, where you find him reading books about mythical creatures, mainly vampires. You yourself are already fascinated by mythological creatures, so you’re excited to see someone who shares the same interest!
He’s a bit socially awkward, but you hit it off almost immediately. A “quick chat” takes an hour, then two, and before you know it, you’ve both stayed until the library is closing. You decide to offer him your number, wanting to take him out for coffee sometime. He seems surprised, but he quickly takes you up on your offer!
A week passes, but you finally get an opportunity where both of your schedules are freed up to meet. Apollo arrives before you do, but it doesn’t take long to spot him. He’s the only one in the whole cafe covered in fancy clothing from head to toe. He’s wearing a wide brimmed hat, a v neck blouse, a blue sash around his waist, and a pair of black dress pants.
It’s intriguing, you’ve never met anyone quite so eccentric. You want to sit near a window, but he says he prefers the corner seats. He orders a small cake and an unusually specific coffee. You never thought someone’s order could get so convoluted! Apollo tells you more about himself. He says mythology has fascinated him ever since he was a child. He says that at home, he has a personal library where he keeps an extensive collection of books dedication to folklore. He specializes in creatures of the sea, so you learn about Leviathans, Sirens, and even Krakens!
Overall, the meeting at the cafe goes fantastic. The more you learn about Apollo, the more you find yourself drawn to him. You’ll definitely be messaging him far more often, and he’ll be doing the same.
➤ Artemis June
You’ve always been someone who likes to party, so when you hear about an underground club, you just know you have to go. You put on your flashiest outfit, it’s so full of sequins that you can’t help but notice a few scattered across your floor!
The club sits below street level, tucked away behind an unmarked door in an abandoned hallway. Thankfully, you know you’re at the right place because you can hear the bass bleeding through the concrete.
The lighting is dim, a deep red glow with neon signs lighting the corners. The dance floor is crowded, people moving however they feel. Some dance slow, others move almost impossibly fast. What you don’t notice is that you’re catching someone’s attention. Artemis, the man next to you. Despite his poor vision, the sequins on your outfit flash in the light, and he’s intrigued. Who’s wearing this amazing outfit?
He strikes up a conversation first. He compliments your outfit, then asks how you were invited here. Artemis makes a bold move and asks you to join him for a dance. You’re excited, an awesome man with wings just asked you to dance, of course you tell him yes! He’s unbelievably skilled, he seems to have more talent than anyone else at the club!
Slowly but surely, the night winds down and clubgoers begin to head out. You’ve been drinking with Artemis at a nearby bar, still chatting about music, your lives, and why you enjoy clubbing. You grow tired and realize it’s time to go home. Before you leave, Artemis slips you a small piece of paper, one with his number on it. You feel your heart flutter, already knowing you’ll be calling that number by tomorrow afternoon.
➤ Marvin June
You love urban exploration, so you spend a lot of time scoping out abandoned areas near you. Around a month ago, you heard about an old music venue. Decades ago, there was a terrible accident during a band’s set, and the place has been abandoned ever since. There shouldn’t be any security at the location, so you’re more than excited to go, bringing your camera to take plenty of pictures!
You sneak past the old, grimy metal gate, but before you can make it inside, you notice a man smoking against one of the concrete walls covered in graffiti. He doesn’t look like security…perhaps he’s another urban explorer? If you’re brave enough to explore abandoned buildings, you’re brave enough to start a conversation, so you walk up and greet him.
He seems frightened at first, like he isn’t used to anyone else being there. You figure that’s normal. The man tells you his name is Marvin, and he’s curious to know how you found out about the venue. You tell him about your hobby, and he seems fascinated. It sounds like something he’d do for fun! Marvin asks you plenty of questions, giving you time to fully take his appearance in.
First, you notice his hair. It’s beautiful, the way it curls almost seems ethereal, and it’s clear he takes good care of it. Marvin’s cheeks and nose are covered in freckles, and you spot a few more along his forehead and jaw. You feel a little odd for staring, so you try to look into his eyes. At first they appear brown, but the longer you look, the more they seem to shift into a shade of red.
Marvin notices how your eyes linger, but he doesn’t exactly dislike the attention. It starts to get dark, and the two of you have been walking around the premises for hours. He’s nervous when he asks for your number, saying he had a great time and that he wants to try urban exploring sometime. He tells you he’ll let you know when he’s free, and you part ways. You find yourself looking forward to your next encounter with Marvin!
➤ AD
You meet AD at a local aquarium fundraiser. He looks…weird. Not in a bad way, it’s just strange to see a grown man dressed like a vampire when he isn’t even at a convention, and it’s the middle of summer! He’s wearing a high-collared shirt with ruffles, black and red rings, black dress pants, and even boots. You can’t say he lacks style, nothing about his outfit screams cheap costume.
You walk up to his booth and ask what’s with the outfit. Does he celebrate summerween or something? AD doesn’t seem offended at all. He laughs and asks if the outfit is working. He quickly shifts to the topic and starts telling you about sea turtles. His favorite species is the green sea turtle! You can feel his enthusiasm, it’s obvious how much he loves his job. His good energy rubs off on you, and you find yourself in a better mood than when you first arrived.
He sprinkles in a few vampire jokes while he rambles, chuckling about how convenient it is that the event is held at night since he can’t really come out during the day. When you try to pry, he says he’s joking. You’re not sure whether you should believe him or not.
After visiting the other booths, you end up wandering back to his. He’s happy to see you, people rarely come back to hear more from him. AD continues telling you about different species of sea turtles until the event ends. He mentions that he’ll be back tomorrow, since the fundraiser doesn’t fully wrap up for another week. On the way home, you can’t stop thinking about the funny vampire guy. You’ll be visiting him again tomorrow night.
➤ Rajesh Kumar
You’ve been feeling more stressed than usual, and you decide you need a new hobby. You settle on taking up art, more specifically painting. Maybe painting can help you let out some of that inner frustration you’ve been hauling around. You head to the craft store and spend a long time browsing through the different colors of paint and canvases.
When you’re finally ready to check out, you’re floored. The line is huge! It’s going to take forever to get out of here! You groan and join the line, ending up behind a nice man who offers to let you go in front of him. Your phone has been dead since you got to the art store, you forgot to charge it again. Typical. There isn’t much else to do while you wait, so you find yourself talking with the kind man behind you.
He introduces himself as Rajesh and explains that he’s an art teacher picking up supplies for his students. You tell him you’re trying to pick up a new hobby and want to start painting. You talk about what you’d each like to paint, how expensive some of the materials are, and how stupidly long the line is.
Eventually, you reach the front. After checking out, you wait by the door for Rajesh. You want to exchange numbers and keep talking. He offers to take you to an upcoming paint event he’s hosting. You feel excited to attend such a cool event!
Thank you for reading!
