This story will be based on the older version of Sawyer and Onyx. They'll be like in their 20's max. They’ll be in a dormitory made by a child of Athena that way no monsters could enter. Sawyer's lil nicknames for Onyx are all in Greek if you wanna figure out what he's tryna say search it up. The smutty part will be on and off. Meaning the smutty part will be slim but is recurrent.

It was a beautiful day. Onyx and Sawyer got to be in the same dorm. Onyx still has no idea who did the dormitory arrangements but he loved whoever did. They placed him with his lover. He had suspicions that it might’ve been his sister, Nixxy Stardays, or her friend, Sailor Bolfis, who was a daughter of Aphrodite, or maybe just the whole camp since ever single living (and probably dead) soul in sight cheered when Onyx and Sawyer finally came out as a couple.
Anyway, it doesn't really matter who did the dormitory arrangements. Onyx was just glad to be paired with his boyfriend. They’ve been dating for a couple of years already. Some kids back at camp had asked both Onyx and Sawyer if they already did it yet, and to everyone's ‘shock’ they hadn't.
Onyx was keeping that question that the campers had asked him and his boyfriend as he was settling in the dorm. There was only one room, but there were two beds. Onyx wasn't really complaining. He loved being close up with his Grease boy. (which is the nickname Onyx gave Sawyer since Sawyer’s a child of Hephaestus and can never take off the grease stains in his finger)
Onyx and Sawyer spent some quality time roaming around campus holding hands and giggling with each other. Some people that walked by were shocked that Sawyer Stuws was giggling and smiling. Since he was the kind of guy you’d least expect much of an energetic expression on his face.
Once they got back to their own dorm, Sawyer dropped down on the couch.
“Man, that was amazing. We gotta do that more often, Astéri mou.”
Onyx giggled and curled up next to Sawyer on the couch. Man did he love the feeling of his body.
“Yeah we should”
There was a somewhat awkward but also loving silence between them. Sawyer shifted a bit so that Onyx could sit comfortably on his chest. They sat in silence before Onyx said,
“Okay, I love you and all, but you smell like you just jumped into horse shit over one-million times.”
Sawyer held back his laughter and mocked an offensive look. “What a rude way to tell me to ‘get off my lazy ass and go take a shower’” Onyx laughed and Sawyer joined in.
“Do you wanna..” Onyx had no idea where he got the courage for what he was about to ask but he found some. “Do you wanna go- Nevermind. It might be weird.” Sawyer tilted his head and raised a brow as he looked at Onyx in confusion. Then he saw the flustered state that Onyx was in and recalled the conversation they just had about ‘showers’. He smiled.
“Did you wanna ask me if we could shower together?” Onyx practically froze. Sawyer couldn’t see if he was nervous or blushing…or both, Onyx hair was blocking Sawyer’s view of his face.
“It’s ok! We don’t have to! I can go take a shower in the dormitory's public bathroom!” Onyx said fast. As if he was nervous about rejection.
“My love, if you feel comfortable with it I'll shower with you. But, if you don’t, I won’t think about it for another second.” Sawyer said softly and reassuringly.
For a second Onyx didn’t respond. He wanted to be sure of his answer.
“Yeah, I think I’ll be good. Plus, there’s only one bathroom in this dorm room and I’m most definitely not letting you go to the public bathroom ‘cuz you’d somehow convince me that it’d be a better idea.”
“Well, I mean, if you put thought into it, it would be a better idea for me to go to the public bathroom instead of you-”
“Shut up Grease boy, we gotta go shower, not go over what would be better even when it’s not gonna happen.”
Sawyer smiled playfully and rolled his eyes then picked up Onyx and took them both off the couch.
“WOAH! WOAH! PUT ME DOWN!” Onyx said while clinging onto Sawyer’s body for dear life.
Sawyer laughed. “THIS IS NOT A LAUGHING MOMENT! PUT ME DOWN SAWYER!” Onyx squealed.
“Eh, and if I don't?” Sawyer said teasingly
“I won’t even look at you for the next week.”
“Impossible, but deal.” He put Onyx down.
Onyx smiled victoriously then went and got him and his boyfriend's towel.
He walked to the bathroom where Sawyer already was. He was taking off his shirt. Onyx's mouth almost dropped, his eyes widened, and his brows rose. Hell, he almost dropped the towels. After all this time, Onyx had only ever seen part of Sawyer’s plain chest, and even then it was by accident. Now that he was witnessing his full chest he was, what they would describe as, flabbergasted.
Sawyer’s chest was ripped. Gods on Olympus, his whole body was ripped. Just not too much of course. Otherwise Onyx wouldn't have found an attraction in Sawyer romantically. Sawyer was perfectly evened out between skinny and muscular.
Onyx was brought back to reality when Sawyer asked him a question. He blinked a couple of times then looked at Sawyer's face.
“I’m sorry, what did you say?"
“Are you ok? Y’know you can still back down. You don't have to-"
“But I want to. So I will." Onyx placed the towels on the sink then started to remove his shirt.
Under his shirt was scared bruises and just tons of scars in general. And also a TON of freckles on the side of his neck that went all the way down to his hands, none on his chest for some reason, and then all over his back. When Sawyer saw Onyx's scars his faces flashed threw two emotions.
Rage and sympathy.
Onyx wishes he hadn't cared about his scars since it all happened when he was 10 years old and younger. and he was now 26. So it was over 10 years ago. Not very recent so not very important in Onyx's book.
Sawyer sighed then took off his pants. Onyx was hesitant at first but did the same.
They both eventually stripped down to nothing and went in the shower. Sawyer touched a scar on Onyx's collar bone. Onyx flinched a bit. He was tense now, and Sawyer saw it. Sawyer got down a bit and kissed it.
“Now the memory that will always pop up in your head is me kissing your scar, not however you got the scar.”
“Y’know, now that I think of it. We've never seen each other's bodies before, well without clothes on of course. I did not picture you to have so many scars.”
Onyx giggled a bit at his response. “Hey don't laugh! How else was I supposed to picture your body under your clothing! You’re always wearing baggy clothing so it’s hard to tell!" Onyx laughed even more.
"Ok now let's actually shower before the water runs out. I'll wash your back, you, mine?” Onyx nodded
~☾︎♫︎♡︎✩☀︎︎✩♡︎♫︎☽︎~
After the shower they dried themselves they both wrapped their own towels around their lower halves. and went back to their room and got into comfortable clothing.
They had a bunk bed (Onyx fought and won for the top bunk obviously) so Sawyer laid down on his bed. Onyx laid with him.
“Oh c'mon Fos mou, you literally fought me for that top bunk."
“Shut up. Is it wrong to want to lie with my boyfriend?"
“Don’t put it like that! I’m just saying, don't you wanna lay in your own bed?”
“No.”
Sawyer sighed with a smile “Ok, if you say so.”
Onyx shifted so he could be laying down on top of Sawyer. While Onyx was laying down on Sawyer, he decided to play with Onyx’s hair.
Sawyer was somewhat shocked with how soft Onyx's hair was. He kept playing with it either way. He made little braids then undid the braids and redid it somewhere else on his head. He loved playing with Onyx's hair. Every time he touched Onyx's hair, it felt like he was touching the hair of a well groomed bunny. It was always so soft.
“Stop it." Onyx said with a not serious sleepy voice “You're gonna put me to sleep.."
Sawyer chuckled then Onyx got up and turned to face Sawyer. So he was sitting on Sawyer's torso while looking at him. Onyx had some unfinished braids in his hair which made Sawyer wanna laugh. So he turned his head and covered his mouth with his hand as he closed his eyes and laughed a bit. Then he turned his attention back to his pouting boyfriend.
“I'll make you stop one way or another." Onyx threatened
“Oh no!" Sawyer mocked a fake worried voice with a smile on his face as he rolled his eyes “I’m so scared!” He laughed some more.
Onyx went down so his face was almost a centimeter away from Sawyer's face.
“Stop laughing at me."
“Or what? You'll kiss me to death? Which isn't a bad death if you ask me.”
“Shut up.” Onyx said with his face slightly growing red while Sawyer chuckled a bit.
“The intimidating look doesn't fit you, agapi mou.” Onyx rolled his eyes and kissed Sawyer's mouth.
“I said ‘Shut up’.” Sawyer smirked and put his hands on Onyx's back as he kissed him passionately.
Onyx kissed back the same way. They separated for air.
“So your way of shutting me up is kissing me to death, and like I said before. That is a pleasurable death.”
Onyx smiled and rolled his eyes. “You'd like to die from my kisses? That's cheesy.”
“Oh sorry!” Sawyer said quickly, his face showing worry. Onyx's face flashed confused.
“Why?” Onyx said while tilting his head.
“I didn't know you were lactose intolerant.” Sawyer said as he smirked.
It took a bit for Onyx to process but when he did he smiled and laughed a bit. Sawyer laughed with him.
“Shut up you dork!" Onyx said as he swooped in for another kiss. Sawyer followed along with the kiss.
Sawyer moved a hand from Onyx's back to his head to press Onyx's head deeper into the kiss. Onyx groaned. They separated for air again.
“This...This might get…messy” Sawyer said in between breaths. Onyx nodded, unable to speak.
Sawyer pushed Onyx onto his lap as he sat up and took off his shirt and threw it across the room. “D’you wanna do the same?”
Onyx was lost in thought of how hot Sawyer's chest looked. Thankfully he had heard what Sawyer said so he nodded again and took off his shirt then put his hand on Sawyer's chest and pushed him back onto the bed. Onyx again over towering him. Sawyer smirked.
“Oh c’mon koukla mou,” Sawyer said in a playful tone " We both know I'd be better on top.”
Onyx didn't argue and let Sawyer switch their sides in one swoop of his body. Onyx was placed at bottom and Sawyer on top.
“Where would you like me to start first, koukla mou?”
“Anywhere” Onyx said while looking directly into Sawyer’s eyes. Onyx’s blue eyes filled with desire when they met Sawyer’s black piercing eyes.
Sawyer scoffed, “Making my job easier, I like that.”
Sawyer kissed Onyx again and again. They took short breaks for air. Sawyer pointed at Onyx's neck asking if he could go there too. Onyx nodded with a glint of lust in his eyes. Sawyer smiled and then went down and kissed Onyx's Jaw bone closest to his neck. Onyx bit back a moan and put his hands on Sawyer's lower back.
Sawyer kept kissing Onyx's neck and Onyx kept making little noises of pleasure. He gave Onyx a hickey and Onyx moaned.
“T-that feels good” Onyx managed to say
“Want more?”
"Yes please” Onyx pleaded
“Can I move around to your chest too?” Onyx nodded and Sawyer politely smiled then went a bit lower and kissed Onyx's collar bone. He kept kissing over and over around Onyx's chest. He kissed near Onyx's nipple and to the looks of Sawyer that seemed to be Onyx's favorite kiss. He kept kissing in different places near his nipple and Onyx was clearly having the most pleasure with those kisses so Sawyer saved them for later.
He moved down to Onyx's stomach. He loved those kisses too. Sawyer was starting to think that it doesn't matter where he kisses, as long as the kiss was good then Onyx would like it, but only from him (obviously).
Sawyer moved back up to Onyx's face. He was panting like crazy and blushing like crazy too.
“Should I continue? Or do you want to stop for now."
“..Can we….Stop for now?...And just…cuddle?..” Onyx managed out in heavy breaths
Sawyer smiled lovingly. “Of course Asteraki mou.”
Sawyer flipped in one solid movement that let Onyx be on top of him for the cuddling.
They both ended up falling asleep shirtless and cuddling with each other.
Onyx was the first one to wake up (since he's the child of Apollo and all) He got up out of the cuddling position very carefully to not wake up Sawyer which was easier then Onyx had originally thought it was going to be.He cutely grabbed his shirt thst he threw to the floor last night and put it on then he went into the mini kitchen the had in their dorm (yes every dorm has this due to people not wanting to have an interaction with others early in the morning)
Once he finished everything else he had to do too so he went and sat on the couch since it was only 9 AM and he wanted Sawyer to have more sleeping time.
After about an hour of scrolling on his phone. He got up and went back to the room where he was previously sleeping with his boyfriend.
Sawyer was still sleeping but he found a pillow in his sleep and started to get snug with the pillow. Onyx almost wanted to laugh, but instead, he decided that it would be better to take a picture. Once he took the picture he put away his phone and gently woke Sawyer up with a kiss on the cheek.
Sawyer groaned and his face went soar as to say, ‘Not yet. Too early’ Onyx laughed to himself quietly then whispered to Sawyer,
“It's gonna be 11 AM soon, sleepy head. Get up.” He said this while playing with Sawyer's messy hair. Fortunately for Onyx, that's what woke him up. He sat up and went to the edge of the bed and rubbed his eye while he yawned. Causing Onyx to yawn a bit too.
“Stop yawning and get up. I made breakfast." Sawyer looked at Onyx with a raised brow since he was technically already ‘up’ he just hadn't gotten out of bed yet. Onyx rolled his eyes since he knew what Sawyer’s look meant.
“Ok, Ok, Just come and join me for some coffee?" He said, with a huge loving smile on his face. Sawyer nodded quickly and got up and went to the bathroom giving Onyx a kiss on the forehead on the way out of the room.
~☾︎♫︎♡︎✩☀︎︎✩♡︎♫︎☽︎~
When Sawyer got out of the bathroom and went to his room to put on some shorts. When he got out of his room into the kitchen, as expected, Onyx was making him some breakfast while the coffee was brewing. He loved the bitter-sweet smell of coffee when he woke up. It practically fumed through the air. Sawyer smiled as he looked at his boyfriend.
Since he just got out of the shower he had wet hair and he didn’t put on a shirt because he was so eager to be around his boyfriend. Especially after the night they had. He quietly walked up to his boyfriend and hugged him from behind. He kissed the back of Onyx’s neck. Onyx shivered a bit before warning his boyfriend.
“Stop that!”
“Or what?” Sawyer teased as he ruffled his nose in Onyx’s hair, breathing in his scent.
“Or I'll ‘accidentally’ burn your food.” Onyx said back in complete seriousness. Sawyer only smiled at his little comment then put his head on Onyx’s shoulder to watch him while he cooked their breakfast.
“How come you cook so good? I cook like someone let an oversized baby into the kitchen.”
Onyx laughed. “How’d you come up with that on the spot?” He tilted his head back a bit so that it was nearly laying on Sawyer’s shoulder and because of the position that Sawyer was in, Onyx basically just revealed his neck to him. He stared at Onyx’s neck for a bit thinking ‘Man…If he just would let me…’ He shook the thought out of his head ‘No, too early, I just need to clear my mind with some coffee and breakfast from my amazing beautiful boyfriend.’
“I don’t know what to tell you Onyx, I am a child of hephaestus. My mind's always moving” Sawyer said, but he was also thinking, ‘And my mouth is always moving when I'm around you…Damnit…Can I not have a clean mind for one day when I'm not in the forge?’
Onyx went back to focusing on cooking. Sawyer sadly detached himself from Onyx, afraid his bad cooking might pass over to Onyx.
Sawyer kept himself busy for a bit by setting the table for Onyx and himself. When he finished with his side quest he let out a little sigh. Onyx heard the sigh even though he was in the kitchen. He was flipping a pancake before he asked, “What’s wrong Sawyer?”
Sawyer looked over to the kitchen a bit shocked at how Onyx heard him.
“Uh, nothing?” He let out a little snort “Aw my boyfriend cares”
“I wouldn't ask to date you if I didn’t care for you.” Onyx said with a small smile on his face.
Sawyer laughed and walked over to the kitchen. He saw that Onyx was making pancakes. ‘Pancakes and coffee? My favorite! Aw he remembered’
“Oh, you’re making my favorite meal today. Any specific reason why?”
“I wanted to repay you.” That confused Sawyer. ‘He wants to repay me? For what?’
“Uh, repay me for what exactly”
Sawyer didn't notice but Onyx had just finished making the last pancake. Onyx put the pancake on the plate that was next to the pan. He turned off the stove and wiped around quickly to look at Sawyer. He loved when Sawyer didn’t put on his shirt. That’s how he could tell that Sawyer was very eager to see him and or be around him. He put his arms on Sawyer’s shoulders and got to his tippy toes to whisper in his ear. He said, “Well we did do that last night didn’t we? Or did I just have a wet dream?”
Sawyer’s face flushed instantly. He looked like a tomato or someone who’s been roasting in the sun for WAY too long. Onyx smiled nicely and got off of Sawyer just to look at him like nothing just happened. Then he turned back to the pancakes and picked up the plate. If Sawyer had to estimate how many pancakes there were he would say about twelve. Both of them loved pancakes to death so he was ok with it.
Before Onyx sat down he asked Sawyer if he had put the syrup on the table while he was making the pancakes. Sawyer looked on the table for a bit then shook his head. Onyx nodded. He had to go past Sawyer to get the syrup. So he did, but while he was walking past Sawyer, he grabbed his arm. Onyx looked at Sawyer who was currently sitting down holding his arm and Onyx looked at him in peer confusion.
“I forgot to put it on the table so I'm responsible for going and getting it. You did what you had to do. Now it's my turn to do something to match up a bit. Don’t you think” Sawyer said already standing up
“Uh, I mean, I don’t mind. I can just go and get it right now.” Onyx said with a shrug.
Sawyer picked Onyx up. “OH MY GODS! SAWYER! PUT. ME. DOWN!!” Sawyer smiled as he plopped Onyx back down in his chair.
“I’m getting the syrup. You, relax.” Sawyer said already going to get the syrup. Onyx sighed and sat in his seat while having an annoyed look on his face. When Sawyer came back with the syrup Onyx got up and walked in front of Sawyer.
“Hm?” Sawyer said while looking at Onyx’s pouty face. “What’s wrong?”
“I don’t understand you” Onyx said “You’re super confusing at times it’s literally impossible.”
Sawyer looked even more confused. “What are you trying to tell me right now Onyx? Are you trying to get me to apologize for getting syrup?” Onyx rolled his eyes then sat back down in his chair and ate his breakfast. When they finished eating breakfast, Onyx grabbed both of their dirty things and put it in the sink. However, this time when he walked by Sawyer, Sawyer could sense that he was pissed about what happened. He didn’t know how to make it up to him. So he had to end up resulting in help. He obviously was going to do that later.
