A spider cliche (Malconner one shot)
"Don't talk to me ever again!!" Malcolm screamed and stormed out. Conner huffed annoyed. They had arguments before. He knew Malcolm would forgive him in a day or two... Either that or he'd apologise himself...(Not this time though. He knew he was right. Malcolm wasn't holding the sword properly at all. "Child of war goddess" his a-) Anyhow, Conner didn't care at the moment.
Mal didn't come back. He was one stubborn boy. But Conner was stubborner.....And also feeling very touch-starved without him. Malcolm was dam good at giving him the silent treatment and Conner was good at pretending it didn't matter (While he was dying inside dramatically in his head) soooo.... He decided he couldn't take it anymore and went to a little blacksmith who owed him a favour.
"Sorry. Annabeth banned me from making Mechanical spiders due to ...well you guys. And as much as I love a great prank. I rather not piss her off." Leo said while hammering something. "Come on dude. I'm not asking you to make a million. Just one Mechanical spider that I can control with a remote." Conner pleaded. Leo raised his eyebrows. "Weirdly specific. Whatchu planning elf boy?" Conner grinned. "I need it for a prank that will benefit me and the one getting pranked." Leo chuckled. "This is about Malcolm isn't it?" Conner made an innocent-esk face, "Mayyyybee?" and Leo shook his head.
He made the spider anyways. (And Conner only had to use 20 extra drachmas! ...That he will steal back later rest assured)
Later that day. Conner Walked into the Athena cabin. Where his beautiful and stubbornly mad boyfriend was sitting at his desk. He leaned on Malcom's chair, right behind him. "Hey. Hey Olive....Baby... Darling I'm sorry." As expected Malcom ignored him with an extra "Hmph" sound. Conner sighed and then secretly smiled. (Internally he wanted this outcome more).
"Pace. Yo pace. You still owe me a favour for helping your Cabin remodel earlier remember? I want to use it now."
"I'm not forgiving you" Came The answer from Malcom.
"I'm not asking for much. Just watch a movie with me. We don't have to talk."
Malcom thought about it as Conner said it. Turned to face him and said, "Better not be a Romantic or Horror movie or I'm leaving."
Conner smiled. Blue eyes staring into Grey ones contently and with familiar hints of mischief. "Don't worry. It's just Highschool musical" Malcom was suspicious. He knew Conner always had something planned. But he also couldn't just go back on his words. He did owe a favour. And dam Hades he would go through with it. Soon Conner had brought a computer (Safe to use cuz Leo built it along with other electronics at camp) And started playing the movie. He grabbed a separate chair and sat an arm's distance away from Malcom. The Hermes kid kept looking at Malcom instead who was gluing his eyes to the screen. Refusing to give Conner attention. (But still the stoll noticed that he was glanced at every time he looked away by his olive).
After a while had passed and Malcolm had gotten more relaxed. Conner cheekily yet discreetly pressed his remote and waited. 1... 2....3-
"AHHHH! SPIDER! SPIDER! CONNIE!"
A scared yelp as Malcolm jumped up terrified and immediately got into Conner 's lap hugging him tightly. "Get rid of it getridofitgetridofitgetridofitgetridofitgetridofit... Conner please!" He said frantically.
Conner smiled. He had won. He swiftly swung his arm and the mechanical spider flew off and hit the wall. Away from them. Malcom still didn't get off him. Conner hugged him tightly back and then said, "Please forgive me Darling. I love you. I don't want to fight anymore." The Athena boy blushed. And hid his face in his neck. Before sighing, "Okayyyyyy... Fineeee.... I forgive you..." "Anything else you should say?" .....
"I'm sorry too Connie" ... "Thank you Olive"
Conner rested his head on his hair and kissed the top of it. They cuddled for a while. And then Malcolm shyly rose up for a kiss. Which Conner was Very happy to give.....
(SpongeBob French narrator voice: One makeout session later)
They were still cuddling. Then Conner said softly, "Olive?".
"hm?" ..... "Darling I'm sorry to say this but .... The spider May...or may not... Have..."
"Been fake?" Conner froze as Malcolm said that. He looked down at him. "Y-you.. you knew!?" Malcom smriked. "it was obvious that it wasn't a real spider besides the timing was too convenient.. but unfortunately Arachnophobia doesn't care about these things." Conner sighed and rested his head on his shoulder, "I'm so sorry. I didn't want to take advantage of your fear... I just missed you so much.." He said apologetic. Malcom laughed softly and began scratching Conner's ear. To which a soft content sigh was let out by the Hermes kid. Then Malcom went. "I forgive you... But you need to do something for me." Conner looked at him questioningly.
"All my siblings are on a new Rome trip. The ones who are here are not going to enter the cabin till 9 pm...... Mind turning on Netflix and closing the door?~"....
Conner was the happiest man alive that day.
