"please, can you just stay?"

Drabble Ask Game

Chris Rodriguez hears the curses and the clanking noises before he even opens the door to take out the trash.

Just what he needed. A monster on a Saturday night. Setting the trash bag near the door, he takes out the palm-wide flashlight from his pocket, his thumb hovering over the heart carved on the metal body.

Charles and Clarisse had laughed when he first showed it to them, Chris's heart sizzles. Before Silena convinced them to carve matching ones.

He presses the button, a spear springing tall instead of a beam of light.

When he opens the door, it is not a stray hellhound to pet or a dracanae lady asking for directions that greets him. No, it is something, someone, worse.

"Alabaster." He gasps.

Just some random headcanons, idk

-> The three of them used to be friends for some time, while they were stuck unclaimed in the Hermes cabin. Chris and Alabaster looked up to Luke a lot, while Ethan not as much. They sometimes snuck out after “bedtime”, and, even though he wouldn’t admit it, both Ethan and Chris were Alabaster’s queer awakenings.

-> Chris was the first to join Luke after TLT, and Alabaster followed soon enough. He promised Ethan he’d come back after him as soon as possible, but Ethan couldn’t help but be somewhat resentful for being left alone. A year afterwards, he ran away from camp and became a rogue until he joined the Army in BotL.

-> While they were both in the army, Chris and Al dated for a brief period. They broke up before Chris’s Labyrinth quest.

-> Despite not being together anymore, Alabaster took Chris joining Camp as a betrayal, not only to the Titan Army, but to himself. His resentment towards Chris only continued to grow as they drifted apart.

-> Once Ethan joined and Kronos was revived, him and Alabaster reconciled and (somewhat) resolved past problems. Initially, they were simply happy to be back together and “start over”. Especially Alabaster - who had spent years silently trying to get Ethan to join. Ethan figured he was aroace while they were apart, and they were in a queerplatonic relationship up to the Battle of Manhattan.

-> They rarely spoke of Chris. Alabaster almost didn’t want to say his name, but Ethan decided to get back in touch, so him and Chris ended up as pen pals. Chris’s messages consisted mostly of doodles- and, occasionally, information from inside camp.

-> Ethan and Al’s relationship started to grow tenser on the brink of the war. Ideals were conflicting, Alabaster was being more reckless with his actions, Ethan more stubborn. But before any mending attempts could be done…

-> The final rupture between them was the end of the war and Ethan’s death. With nothing holding them together anymore, Alabaster and Chris reconciled in doing their best to forget each other’s existence.

Alabaster was still wrathful.

Options and order were taken from the top 12 Alabaster ships on ao3. My tally is below the cut:

Awh yeah my Ta blorbos

The way I see it, they both bond over about monster's magical properties, and being close to Luke, and pranking the shit out of him upon Andromeda. And generally acting like the young teens they are. IT'S FRIENDS TO LOVERS! Even though they did not interact much in CHB they still saw eachother every day due to sharing a cabin so there was that as well.

But as the war goes on, Alabaster only get more and more loyal to Kronos and the cause while Chris. Well. He was never following Kronos to begin with, he was following *Luke*. So when he began to get disillusioned with the whole thing (following Luke's confession to him about the whole possession plan) plus the addition of the age difference between them; Chris stops seeing Al as a peer and starts seeing him as an annoying, immature kid who should not be in charge and does not know what he is doing </33

Al regains peer status again during TLO but that's also when Alabaster is attempting to murder Chris's ass LMFAO He searched for Chris in the Labyrinth, he thought he was dead, he MOURNED him—

And Chris did not even bother to send word with Silena that he lived. Al is pretty certain he did not even grieve the kids (who Chris knew and got along with or big brothered!) that died with Princess Andromeda, and he won't grieve the ones that died in BoM. So yeah, Alabaster will not bother to seek out Chris and tell him that the gods killed people he loved after the war, he will not bother to tell him that he lived. Let Chris wonder about his fate for all he cares, if Chris will even do that.
