Greekgod!JJ X Reader: A random One Shot
Hello everyone! I felt like writing but wasn’t sure what to write! I asked for some advise and then rolled a die to pick a fun AU from @clanwarrior-tumbly ‘s list! This one is the Greek god AU! I hope y’all like it!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was a beautiful, warm spring day and in front of a small, damp pile of dirt sat a young child. They stared at the pile with their cheeks puffed out and their arms crossed over their chest as they took a quick look up to the sky and then back down to the pile.
May I ask what it is that you are doing?
The child’s head quickly turned to look behind them, spotting a man with a perfectly curled mustache on his upper lip, teal hair and blue eyes… The rest of him they didn’t even bother to look at as their eyes moved to the rather large scythe he held.
“Who are you?”
I’m known by many names, but you Young one can call me Jameson for now.
“I’m [Y/N].” The young child said, tilting their head as they looked at the man.
“How are you doing that?”
Doing what, Young one?
“Talking without actually saying anything.” They elaborated as the man walked over to them and knelt down, using the scythe to balance himself as he looked at the small dirt pile.
Tell me young one, what is this?
He’d avoided the question, and this didn’t go unnoticed by [Y/N], but they were too excited to explain their brilliant plan to this total stranger.
“I’m growing this flower for my friend! It’s their birthday soon.” They explained happily, feeling very proud of themselves as they puffed out their chest, missing the small frown that formed on the man’s face.
I’m sorry Young one. But I’m afraid that you’re plan may not work. Growing something, such as a flower, takes time.
[Y/N] huffed at his words, crossing their arms in a pout yet again.
“What do you know?” They asked, looking away from him as his shoulders gently bounced in a silent laugh.
A bit more than you would think Young one.
“Yeah well… You’re wrong! This’ll grow all big and then I’m gonna give it to my friend.” They told him as a matter of factly before turning their nose up to him.
If you say so, Young one. But these things do take time, as do all good things.
After the last sentence [Y/N] suddenly felt his presence vanish and they looked over to see that the man from before was in fact gone. They stood up and began looking around for where he could have gone, but the man was no where in sight!
Years passed, and [Y/N] never saw Jameson again, but they always thought about the day they met him. They had become a much more patient person, of course they weren’t seven anymore, but good things come in time… They always remembered that. Keeping the mystery man’s words close to their heart as they grew older. The day was much like the one that they had met Jameson all those years ago, a beautiful spring day and now they were in their garden, watering the many flowers they had planted over the years.
I see you have gotten much better at this, Young one.
[Y/N] spun on their heel, coming face to face with the man they had met before, he hadn’t aged a day… He stood, leaning on his scythe slightly as he looked over the flowers with a smile on his face.
“It’s you…” They said quietly, almost not believing that he was really there. The man nodded and gave a small bow before looking back at them.
It has been far too long, Young one. I meant to return earlier, but I’m afraid when you’ve lived as long as I have, time… Tends to get away from you.
He shook his head before smiling at them again, almost as if he had made some sort of joke… They didn’t get it.
“Are you death?” They questioned, a look of shock taking over the man’s features as he covered his heart with his hand and took a step back.
Whatever would lead you to think that Young one?!
“Well… You do have a scythe.” They said shyly, gesturing to the scythe that he held and Jameson quickly looked it over before shaking his head again.
Ah yes, the Grimm Reaper I believe is what you are referring too. No dear Young one, my scythe is not for harvesting souls but for harvesting crops. I’m afraid to tell you I came not only to say hi, but in the hopes that I could perhaps take a few of these flowers off of your hands. There is a friend of mine that always seems terribly sad and I believe these could possibly brighten up his day!
“You’re avoiding the question! Just like when I asked how you talk without actually speaking.” [Y/N] said, pointing at him and taking a step towards him.
“Who are you, really?” They asked, watching as his shoulders gently bounced in his laughter.
A sharp one you are, Young one. Back in the old days they called me Chronos, I am the god of time.
“Chronos? Then why’d you introduce yourself different then?!” They asked, suddenly feeling embarrassed. They’d been speaking to a god this whole time and they’d been so informal, even slightly brash when they were a child.
When you’ve lived as long as I have Young one, you can get quite bored. Changing my name every few centuries is just one of the many ways I… How do you say it these days? Keep things fresh?
“I see… Is that… Also, why you approached me? When I was a kid?” They asked, feeling uncertain where they stood now.
Partially yes. Also, there was just something about you that intrigued me, not sure what it is yet. But I would hope that I could figure it out eventually. If you will allow me to return to your garden.
[Y/N] began to blush as they wondered if that meant that he wanted to get to know them, they quickly looked down to the dirt as they tried to think of an appropriate response. Even if they said no, would they really be able to stop him from returning if that’s what he wanted? Not that they wanted to say no, they were interested themselves in Jameson, after all as god of time surely, he had some interesting things to talk about… It also helped that he was quite handsome, nothing like the old man with a long white beard that they’d seen pictured.
“I don’t believe I would mind it, perhaps we can have some tea next time as well?” They offered, watching the god’s face light up as he stood straighter.
That sounds lovely, Young one! I will look forward to our next meeting, but for now perhaps you could help me pick out some flowers for my friend? If it is okay for me to take them that is!
“Of course, you can have some!” [Y/N] said with a small laugh, amused to see the god of time back tracking once he realized he hadn’t gotten permission to take flowers yet.
“I’ll even help you pick them out, so long as you promise not to wait years to come back and visit me. I don’t want to be all shriveled up and old the next time I see you.” They scolded halfheartedly while wagging their finger at him.
Young one, I would never dream of doing such a thing.
He bowed with his hand over his heart before standing up straight and extending his arm to offer [Y/N] his hand, his smile brightening as they took it and began to walk beside him through the rows of flowers.
“Now the daffodils have been coming in nicely so far this year, and I’m sure they could brighten up anyone’s day! Even the god of depression couldn’t frown at them!” They joked, looking over to see his shoulders bouncing again.
I certainly hope so! That is who I plan on giving them too!
“Wait, that’s actually a thing?!”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And there you go! I hope y’all enjoyed reading that because it was pretty fun to write! I wasn’t sure what attire to put JJ in as Chronos because in descriptions of him normally have him in some kind of toga and I’m not sure what century I put this in, so I’ve left quite a lot up to the reader in this heh heh... As Always, I accept any and all feedback! Thank you for reading!
