#I've noticed Marcus is common which can be fun in a Hes doing this to piss off Oliver way but idk

[elisedonut]

My favorite Perciverus dynamic is Percy being the one to have to push everything into motion

Like that one fic where flintwood were arguing over him and he just snaps and tells them to just kiss and Oliver looks at him like he's crazy but ends up caving because he did say hed do anything to help him

that was fun

That lives in my head

One I was thinking about was an Omegaverse Au

where Oliver is the only Alpha with both Percy and Marcus being omegas(or Percy’s a beta)

And Percy has to tutor Marcus every week and starts to notice just how touchy feely Oliver keeps getting after he gets back from these sessions

At first he assumes it's just like jealousy or something but some other things happen that make him suspicious

Anyway point is it leads to him literally just holding Oliver's head in the crook of Marcus' neck in the middle of the two of them arguing

or

Percy specifically trying to get as much of Marcus' scent of him on him as he can to then later cozy up to Oliver

(maybe even both on different days)

in an attempt to get Oliver to stop being dumb about the fact that he wants him

I feel like this is a perciver is already a thing au

but it could also be fun as a Flintwood and then they both just grab Percy as he tries to leave after succeeding in his original mission kinda thing

Plus then you get that whole Percy being willing to do what he thinks is best for Oliver but still kinda down about there being a better match for Oliver then he is

A/N: I've been replaying some Gears 3 because my Cloud Save for Gears 5 wasn't working due to my internet going out. Someone awhile ago had requested a fic where Marcus gets jealous of you during your time on the Sovereign. So, this'll take place on the boat from the start of Gears 3, but before the Lambent Leviathan attacked. I hope you enjoy! I've been wanting to write more for Gears and Halo to take a break from my darker content on my other blogs, lol. They're such fun games. 😄

A Tale from the Sovereign

Jealous! Marcus Fenix (Gears 3) x Female! Reader

Summary: Marcus Fenix has fallen for a fellow COG soldier on the Sovereign. But if these feelings are left unchecked, disaster could happen. Although, sometimes, there are risks you must be willing to take.

Marcus Fenix was never that good with affection. That or anything in the romantic field. He knew his feelings towards you were normal, but they would inevitably get in the way.

Even now on the Sovereign he knew he can't allow his feelings to make him act up. He enjoyed your company, but tried to keep it at that. For your sake if not his.

Unfortunately, while trying to suffocate his attraction towards you, he has come across some complications.

Such as a slight envy towards others when they're able to speak with you so freely. Marcus has tried to distance himself to prevent any issues.

Yet it appears to have caused more.

You seem so happy talking to Dom or Jace, even getting along fantastic with Anya if not for a few issues of your own. But towards him, you're nervous. Like you want to reach out but just can't.

He should've known having such an attraction towards you would cause problems. No matter how much he tried to ignore it, it only seemed to grow stronger when he noticed the connections you had to his fellow soldiers.

"You can at least try to speak with her a little more. She's told me she wanted to speak with you but you're always so cold." Dom says to his fellow Delta Squad member. Marcus, in return, huffs.

"I have my own risks and reasons. She doesn't need to be so attached to me." Marcus tries to excuse his behavior. Dom only frowns at the stubbornly cold sergeant.

"(Y/N)'s a fellow COG, just like us. The least you could do is try and speak with her. Unless, you have personal reasons...?" Dom hints, Marcus's gaze narrowing.

"I don't like what you're implying. I advise you put a stop to that now."

"Alright, fine. Just, try at some point, alright?"

Dom makes one final remark before leaving Marcus's quarters. Most likely to go tend to the crops growing on the Sovereign. The sergeant snorts to himself. Dom and his radishes....

After some silent encouragement to himself, Marcus manages to get himself out of his room. People were still working to keep the boat in commission, even though before Jacinto they were supposed to scrap it. Which means maintenance was common.

Before he went to his assigned post, laughing was heard coming from the upper deck. He recognized that laughter. The same laughter that made him feel so complicated for the past few months you've both been on this ship.

He'd be lying if he denied the fact his pace quickened to see what was up. Only to find his mood slightly soured when he saw Jace speaking with you about something mundane.

"You two." Marcus says sternly, causing the two soldiers to turn and greet him.

"Good day, Sergeant Fenix." Jace greets.

"Marcus... I mean, Hey, Sergeant Fenix." You greet soon after, slipping up and cursing to yourself. Marcus is honestly surprised by your behavior.

"What are you two doing?"

"Just chatting, we had downtime." Jace smiles, standing close to you. Marcus almost found himself grimacing. Envy twisted in his gut but he knew better than to let it get to him.

"Get to your post. We all have a job to do." Marcus says sternly before turning to you. "(Y/N), care to help me out?"

Softly you nod before following the Sergeant. Marcus decided he should pay attention to Dom's words. If that'll help him with his envy then it was worth a shot.

Although, in the beginning, it was a rather rough start. As you two worked along the Sovereign, Marcus had attempted to start conversation.

The first few times you were hesitant before getting used to him. He couldn't blame you. He was originally pushing you away before suddenly talking. It was a change you needed to get used to.

Admittedly, you talking and smiling to him even made the envious feeling falter. Something he wished he could get used to....

"Dom was speaking to me earlier..." You start, Marcus stopping what he was doing. Dom better have not....

"Really? What about?" Marcus almost didn't want the answer.

"You look so deep in thought when I talk to him or Jace. Is there a problem?"

Marcus refuses to answer. If he wanted to keep this whole thing a secret he needed to find a way disarm the situation.

But it seems you understood before he could defend himself.

"You're upset I get along with the others and not you, huh?"

Marcus felt himself tighten. It was now or never, huh?

"Not one more word in public. Come here."

You feel yourself sweating before Marcus drags you to his quarters, shutting the door with a sigh. Your heart is beating fast when he turns around.

You know what this means...

You know that there's consequences...

But you were wiling to risk it.

"What are you getting at, (Y/N)?"

You smile softly before making your way over slowly. At this point, between you, it was obvious.

"You care for me but don't want to make a scene." You explain before stopping in front of him. "Honestly? I feel the same."

Marcus is silent in front of you. His eyes only looking you over. You both were considering the risks in this.

It's all sealed once he, almost desperately, pulls you in. Rough lips clash against your own. It feels exciting and relieving. A confirmation you both adore one another.

It feels like ages when you pull away. You clinging tightly to the man in front of you.

"This needs to stay secret." Marcus warns, rubbing your back. "Tell no one about this between us."

You look up eagerly and lovingly at the man in front of you. A soft smile on your face.

"My lips are sealed, Marcus."

For once within Marcus, the envious feeling had left. Leaving him and the woman in front of him in a calming bliss.
