Hear me out- Telemachus × Daughter of Polites reader, where they were best friends growing up and even partners later on, yet when Odysseus returns and not her dad, like many other kids/wives/families of Odysseus's crew she is very upset about it. And as a result she stops hanging around areas she knows Telemachus is due to the assumption all he'll talk about his dad, but add a fluff ending. I don't have a fluff ending planned so fell free to do whatever for it

Telemachus x polites's daughter! reader

note: i LOVE the idea of polites having a daughter please need more requests for this hc(or canon idk)

warning: mentioned of death, daddy issues? harassing, antinous (yes he gets his own warning), this takes place 'in hold them down' so be prepared, suitors being assholes, and I'm trying new style so tell me if you like it or not.

────────────🥞────────────

growing up without a father wasn't easy, especially if you know nothing about him and all you're stuck with is stories from other people.

people said he was a kind soul and he could make any one cheer up just by looking at them with his soft and caring smile, he didn't like solving the problem with his fits, but rather with his heart.

you always wished if you could meet your father, or at least seeing him for once, it really hurt you. but you didn't need to face that pain alone. not when you had your best friend by your side.

Telemachus.

you and Telemachus spend your whole life together. you were together at every moment, always talking and helping each other so it wasn't a shock when you too get together.

you mainly met each other when you were only 14, you were walking around in the forest, nothing just walking to clear your mind and that when bumped into him, you apologized for bumping into him and he did the same which ended with you both apologizing to each other for 10 minutes.

then you guys just sit down and start talking since both of you never really had any friends and that when you find out your fathers were friends before going to the war.

it was... refreshing. you finally found someone who suffers the same pain as you. no you definitely do not wish for anyone to go through what you had but it was refreshing finding someone who could understand what you're going through.

and ever since then you guys became best friends. you would always be together, no matter what. you promise each other that.

you're upset about something? Telemachus would be there to comfort you.

Telemachus upset about the suiters? you'd be there to be by his side to help him.

you two only had each other and you appreciate it, he even made you meet his mom which absolutely adores you. she always treats you like a daughter and you appreciate it.

so was it really shocking when you and Telemachus got together? even the queen herself saw it coming and was very happy that her son got to be with someone like you, someone caring and loving and will make sure to love him for the rest of their lives.

he proposes to you when you both reach nineteen, you were hanging as always in the garden watching the sunset like you always used to do, nothing unusual except the fact that Telemachus seems extra nervous today.

"Telemachus, you seem extra nervous today. is there something bothering you?" you said softly trying to ease his nervousness as you rest your hand on his shoulder, but that only triggers him more as she flinches and turns red when you touch him.

"n-no! I'm completely fine, i don't know what you're talking about.." no matter what he tries he can never hide his emotion and nervousness, especially around you. you know each other way too long for you to read him like an open book.

"is it the suitor again? let me guess, antinous? this man never seems to know his place-" you said with anger in your voice, you hated that 'antinous'. he's way too prideful, and never miss a chance to mess with Telemachus which you hate so much. but your words were cut off short.

"no no it's not him! well, he's still as annoying as ever but he's not the reason why I am nervous.." you can hear a little panic in his voice at the first of his sentences but he quickly takes a deep breath as he starts talking softer now.

"then what is it Telemachus? you can tell me anything you know? I'm here for you." you smiled softly trying to ease his nervousness which seemed to work as he sighed deeply and looked straight into your eyes

"t-there's something I've been meaning to tell you... but promise me you won't panic.." he said as he looked away again scratching his neck nervously, you can tell he's blushing by the way his ears turn red.

you chuckled quietly at his words. he was way too cute for his own good "okay i promise, no panicking just tell me already" you said as you pat on his back trying to smooth his mood.

Telemachus sighs as his gaze returns to your face again, then he takes your hands as he stands up and helps you stand on your feet. he looks into your hands for a few seconds before his gaze turns to your face again.

"for the longest time i had no one besides me but you, you always light up my days no matter how shitty they are, you were always there for me when i needed you never once left my side, and for that i appreciate you. to be honest, i don't think i was able to make it this far without you, and i don't think i ever want you to leave my side" he said as hold your hand more tightly.

"Telemachus..." your voice was more like a whisper as you said his name, words cannot describe what you're feeling right now, he always tells you about how he's happy you're here with him, but something about his tone tells you it isn't like any friendly remake he had ever said.

his words were deeper.

he then kneels down before you, still holding your hands in his as he looks deeply into your eyes with the biggest grin you have ever seen on his face.

"so would you do me the Honor and stay beside me forever, but not like a friend. like a queen. my queen."

you were struck by his words. did he just propose to you? you were still shocked as you heard his words. you? as his queen? it felt like a dream comes true. you would be terribly lying if you said you didn't feel for him. how couldn't you? he was sweet, caring, brave and everything any woman would ever ask for.

Telemachus starts getting a little nervous noticing your silence, but he quickly notices tears starting to gather in your eyes.

"yes! i would love to be your queen Telemachus!"

you said with tears in your eyes as you smile at him. he quickly stands on his feet again as he cups your face as he wipes your tears away as you both laugh softly.

"don't cry my love, this is not a view fitting for a queen" he said between laughing as you chuckles at his remake. he quickly holds you in his arms as he sweep you off your feet and starts spinning you around. the garden was filling with but your laugh and happiness

you wish you could stay like this forever, with you in his arms and nothing but happiness.

but everything was about to crash out.

"do you really have to go..." you said quietly as you stare at your spouse.

it was about time Telemachus decided to go on search for his father, and you very much didn't like it. what if he didn't return like his father? or worse what if he died?

"my love we've talked about this.. i need to do this" he said as he holds her hand tightly, he too didn't wanna leave and leave you and his mom alone. but this was necessary.

"what if you didn't come back?" you were trying to change his mind these past few days with no luck, and now you stood at the shore as his crew prepared for the trip.

"i will come back, i promise. even if i had to fight monsters or gods , I'll get back to you. i promise" he said softly as he kissed your cheek before resting his forehead on yours.

"I'll be back, wait for me. okay?"

"i will" you said as finally goodbye before his crew called for him. he gave you one final peak on the lips before he started running to his crew.

you just stared at him as he ran and boarded his ship.

his gaze quickly returned to where you were standing as he waved at you, you smiled as you waved back seeing as his ship start moving deeper into the sea as you stood there and saw him drifting away.

as you return to the palace you start walking around, trying to clear your mind for your thoughts, but ohh boy...

"well, well, well, if it isn't the princess herself, here all alone without your prince i see? what did he leave you like his father did to his mother? like father like son i see" you heard a voice coming from behind you.

you don't need to turn to know who owns that voice. of course it was antinous.

"what do you want now antinous? I'm not in the mood for your nonsense." you said firmly as you heard his footsteps getting closer to you.

"what's wrong princess? i was just trying to cheer you up, where's that kind and precious princess that is always so sweet to the point where everyone is sicking with your sweetness." he said mockingly as he stands in front of you as if he is blocking your way.

"I'm only kind to those who deserve it, and you are really good at making it hard to be nice with you." said eliana firmly as she looked at him with fury in her eyes, this man never missed a chance to mess with her and Telemachus. he never knew his place..

"oh come on princess, is that how you're talking to your guests? i guess you're not a fitting princess" he said mockingly, he knows what to say and what to do to get under your skin but you refuse to give the pleasure of it.

"is that all you wanted to say? cuz i don't have time for you, so if you don't mind moving, not all of us spend their day sitting here and doing nothing" you said firmly as you see the grin on his face slowly disappear and replace with pissed face. you can barely stoo yourself from smirking knowing that you ended under his skin instead.

"listen here princess-" antinous said as his shit eating grin found it way back to his face as he got even closer to you now but you refuse to move or showing him that he scared you. but before he can do anything else he gets cut off short.

"leave her alone antinous!"

as you look behind antinous you could see the queen standing there looking at him with the same look she gave to every suitor here. hatred.

Antinous scoff as he looks behind him at the queen standing there with a demanding look. he sighs before looking at you again. "we're not done here yet princess." he said before he walked past you and to the other side of the palace .

"are you alright my dear?" you can hear the queen's softer voice as she starts walking towards you checking if antinous hurt you in any way.

you turn your gaze back to her as you see her soft smile and gentle eyes, you couldn't help but smile back. "yea yea, im fine thank you mother, i don't think he'd have stopped if you didn't show up"

you can hear the queen chuckle a little at your words. she was a mother like you and always made sure to get away from those suitors and take care of you when Telemachus wasn't around, and you appreciate her so much.

"don't mind him my dear, he can never do anything to you, I'll make sure of that" she said gentle as she put her hand on your back comfortably as she guild you to the other side of the palace away from all the suitors.

(tbh idk how long his mission takes and i tried to search but got nothing so i made this up)

it's been a month since Telemachus went on his mission, and since then you always sit or stand close to his mother door guarding it. mostly the nights when you couldn't sleep, you would always take your lyre and try to entertain yourself while making sure no one of the suitors come close.

of course you couldn't fight or do anything but whenever they see you there they just scoff before returning to where they come from. you might not know how to fight, but you're not afraid to try. even if you believe that violence was never the answer and you prefer talking rather than fighting.

you know these men don't have the heart to even understand your words so you never bother trying with them.

after Penelope arranges the challenge about that however can string the king old bow and shoot the arrow through twelve axes will be the new king you knew something was about to happened.

these men can barely do anything themselves let alone stringing a bow, not any bow. the king Odysseus bow.

after the Penelope returns to her room, you decide to take a walk to the garden. clearing your mind, after all there's no need to worry anymore. because he's coming back.

your lover is finally back from his long mission and will be back in your arms soon. You couldn't wait anymore, after finally waiting and enduring the suitors attempt to harass you and the queen, he's finally back.

After a few seconds in the garden you decide maybe it's time for you to go back to your room and get prepared to meet your spouse after a month of not seeing him.

as you start walking down the aisle you hear the suitors talking but you didn't pay them any attention until you heard antinous talking loudly.

"haven't you noticed who's missin'? don't you know the prince is not around?" as you hear antinous words you stop in your track, you know every time this man mentioned Telemachus it's either to insult him or to hurt him.

you hide behind one of the pillars as you continue to listen to him, trying to find out what he's planning to do this time.

"i heard he's on a diplomatic mission, and i heard today he comes back to town so," he continues saying as he stands at one of the tables to get everyone attention as if wasn't on him in the first place.

"i say we gather near the beaches. i say we wait till he arrives. then, when he ducks his ship, we can breach it. let us leave now today we can strike him and hold them down" he said with the same evil grin on his face.

you were struck by his words. they're planning on killing Telemachus? you know antinous was crazy, hell even stupid. but you never thought he'd go as far as to kill the prince..

then you start hearing him telling them about how they are going to kill him. hold him down. slit his throat. break his bones. turn him into pieces as they throw his body in the ocean.

you try to cover your mouth so stop your gasps, this can't be real. you need to go to Telemachus before they can reach the beaches and tell him, but what about the queen-

your thoughts were cut off as you heard antinous talking again.

"and when the deed is done, the queen will have no one to stop us from breaking her bedroom door, stop us from taking her love and more"

you almost let out loud gasp revealing your hiding spot as you heard antinous talking about how he wanted to break the queen door and assaulting her, making her choose a king against her well.

"and who knows, if we're lucky enough we'll get the princess too" antinous says with the same loud tone as if he had no fear of who could hear him.

your heart almost stopped when you heard him mentioning you, not only he wanted to kill your spouse and assaulting the queen. now he wants you too. what a sick dog.

Before your thoughts could go any further suddenly the sound of antinous voice was cut off, and as you look again to check what's happening there when you stood shocked.

an arrow was in antinous throat as he's body fell dead on the ground. as your eyes quickly gaze around the room you saw an old man wearing a cloak holding the king Odysseus bow. but how did he string this??

before you can get a clear answer the chaos started, as the screams of the suitors and dead bodies dropping everywhere, you know you needed to get away as soon as possible.

but before you could even make a run out of the room you felt someone yanking you back by your hair as you felt a blade to your throat.

"look what do we have here, what the little princess is doing here." one of the suitors said close to your ears as he pressed the knife harder into your neck.

"maybe we could make use of that, with the princess with us, i think the king would surrender" he smirks as he speaks in your ears, but his words shock your core.

the king? so the person who shot antinous and string the bow was Odysseus all along? but how? does that mean...

before you could think any further you felt the suitor dragging you by your hair to somewhere and before you know it he dragged you to a room filled with suitors and weapons.

"brothers look at who i got here, she'll help us make the king surrender, unless he wants the future princess of ithaca turning into pieces" he said as he throws you harshly into the ground, making her hiss in pain as she hit her face hard to the ground.

"do worry princess, we won't hurt you much, well unless the king didn't listen to us." said another suitor as he took a fist of her hair making her look at them again.

"you're nothing but a bunch of pigs, you think you'll get away with this? the king will paint the whole palace with your filthy bloods, just you wait.." you hiss at them with hatred and fury in your eyes and voice.

they laughed at your words but you know soon the only noises they would be making is screaming and pleading for mercy.

"ohh you're really naive princess, let's see what the king is going to do when-"

"BEHIND YOU!!"

before the other suitor yell you see a spare going through the man that was as he draws his final breath before he drops dead besides you, and as you look at the person who did this your eyes feels with hope. Telemachus.

"leave. her. alone."

he said in a dangerous tone as he pointed his spear at the other suitors. but they didn't seem to care about his threat one of them grab you and puts a sword to your neck.

"be careful young prince, we don't play fair." he said as he smirked as he pressed the sword to your neck. before he looked at the other suitors.

"STOP!" scream Telemachus at them as he saw the suitor holding his spouse with a sword that started to slowly cut the skin in her neck drawing a little bit of blood.

"brothers, we got company and he made a grave mistake, left the weapons room unlocked and now they're ours to take. brothers come and arm yourselves! there's a chance for us to win! we can still defend the king if we all attack the prince!!"

"NO!!" you scream as you see the men attacking your spouse as he tries to fight them but fails since they're more and he was alone against them. you saw them as they held him down to the ground.

"let the king obey our commands! cause if he won't I'll break the kid's hands" said the suitor as he stood before Telemachus looking down at him with a wild smirk on his face.

"got him!" said the suitor but before he could have his sweet victory a sword stab him through his chest. the other suitors stood shocked as they saw the sense before them, and saw the suitor trying to mumble something but was cut off by the person who stab him.

"mercy? mercy!?" you heard as the suitor dropped dead as you saw Odysseus standing behind him holding a bow now, he's the same man who shot antinous and he's holding the same bow, that's definitely Odysseus.

he then started shoting the suitors one by one as he started with the one holding you, he shot an arrow that was so near to your face but instead it stabbed the man behind you right in the eye which made him drop his sword as he lay on the ground dead.

you fail to the ground as you step away from the dead body. Telemachus takes his chance as he quickly runs to you as he kneels beside you. "my love, are you alright? did they hurt you?" you can hear the worries and fear in his voice as he starts checking on you.

as you saw him you quickly threw yourself at him clinging into his tunic, he didn't waste anytime as he held you closer sitting you on your feet. "we need to get you out of here now!" he said as he holds your hand before taking his spear as he starts taking you away from all the chaos as he takes you to an empty room away from everything.

"you stay here and don't come out at any cost, until i come back you'll lock yourself here okay?" he said as he held your face in his hands as he tried to wipe away the blood on your face.

"but Telemachus what about you? you were about to die right there!" you said as you were still clinging to his clothes as if he would disappear if you let go. you didn't wanna risk him going out and getting killed, what if the suitors got him again? what if the king shot him not knowing it's his son?

"I'll be fine, just promise me you'll stay here, please" he said with pleading in his eyes, you know he can't risk losing you and you should trust him but you couldn't help but worry.

"okay.. just please do die.." you said as you slowly let go of his tunic looking at him with teary eyes. "i won't, i promise" he said as he kissed your forehead before letting go of your hand as he left the room allowing you to close it behind him.

after a while of locking yourself in the room, everything gets quiet, no more screaming, no sounds of arrows crashing into the bodies and walls, that when you become sure that everything ends.

you slowly open the door as you start looking around. no one, only blood and dead bodies. then you remember your spouse and get worried.

you start running around the palace trying to look for Telemachus but as you get into the throne room you found him.

but you didn't move. he wasn't alone.

he was there, hugging with Odysseus, his father. they were hugging and crying and that twisted something inside you.

Odysseus is the only one who shows up, but that couldn't be right? 600 men and only one to come back? you try to lie to yourself, not to believe what you didn't wanna believe, but in the end it was clear.

he was the only one to come back.

you stand away staring at them more than you'd like to admit, you didn't even notice that they broke the hug as Odysseus gaze turned to you.

Telemachus followed his father's gaze as it landed on you, he smiled as he saw you. but his smile slowly faded as he saw your expression. then he realized what she must be thinking.

Telemachus was about to open his mouth but before any words could come out, you turn around and start running away from the senses before you.

Telemachus tried to scream your name but you didn't listen as you were focusing on getting as far away from here.

Odysseus just looked at his son and then to where this woman was standing, he knows that this woman meant something to his sons and he noticed their matching rings.

"oh gods.. i need to go after her" said Telemachus as he let go of his father as he was about to chase after his spouse before Odysseus stops him.

"what's happening here?"

you were crying your eyes dry as you sat behind a large tree, you couldn't face that fact that the person you've been waiting for your entire life was just a lie..

you were sitting under a tree in the forest near the palace, the same place you and Telemachus first met. but you didn't wanna see him, the last thing you wanted was seeing him now.

you lived your whole life hoping and praying, waiting 20 years on someone you never and would never know, he'll always be the person you always but never meant to see.

your father.

see Telemachus with his father crash you even more, why are you jealous? you have no right to be jealous. just because your hopes were false doesn't mean Telemachus doesn't deserve it. you were being selfish.

why? why would the gods make you hope and wait on someone, making you pray every day for his return, wasting your years hoping and pleading only for him to not come?

you understand life was never fair and it doesn't always give you what you wanted, but why? and why's she crying for something she never even had in the first place?

as you continue crying you start hearing a voice calling, you know who that voice belongs to but refused to answer. no you want to be alone.

Telemachus continues calling your name but there's no use. he knows how hard it must has been for her, after all he was the only thing she has, or at least the thought of him.

as he continues walking he suddenly starts hearing soft sobs coming from behind a tree as he gets close to it. and when he finally gets there he sees her. he sees his love, his light, his soul and the only thing that ever matters to him. his queen, he sees her sitting on the ground crying and sobbing softly looking fergal and weak..

"my love?" said Telemachus as he started walking closer to her as he kneels beside her. she was digging her face in her knees cover her whole face as her grip around herself looked almost hurtful.

"my love.. it's me, Telemachus.." he said as he touched her shoulder gently trying to ease her tension but she didn't even move, he was getting more worried now.

"listen love i know it's hard for you, you've been waiting for a long time only for it to.." Telemachus cut himself mid sentence, he knows that this is the last thing she wanted to hear right now. as he opens his mouth to talk again she speaks first.

"i have no right to be upset.. i didn't have him in the first place to lose him, i didn't have a family so I don't have a right to complain when it's gone." you said with the same broken and weak voice, you hated it, you didn't want anyone to ever see you like this, specially Telemachus.

"that's not right." said Telemachus softly as she put his hand on yours trying to make you feel his presence. "you always had a family, me! I was and I'll always be here for you and my mom too, you always had a family and home, yes it might hurt that you never get to mean your father but that doesn't mean you don't have a family, I'll be your family, and so is my mom and everyone in the palace. it's your home [y/n]"

he said as he started taking your hand away from your face, you didn't try to stop him. he held your face in his hands as he looked at you with the same adoration he always looked at you with.

"I'm here my love, always and forever. do you hear me? I'm never going to leave no matter what." he said as he starts wiping your tears away with his gentle hands. you couldn't help but throw yourself at him hugging him tightly as you hide your face in his chest. he didn't waste any time holding you tighter as if you'd run again if he let you go.

you stayed like this for a moment before he spoke again breaking the silence. " i told my father about your dad.. he said he died a hero and he'll always remember him, and also want me to give you something" he said as you guys pulled away a little, you were a little calm now.

he then held your hands before he takes something out of his pocket as he puts it in your hands.

it was a red ribbon, it looked damaged and even old. but it looked as if someone was taking care of it even with how damaged it looked.

"my father said that it was your father's he used to wear it and now you deserve to have it" you felt tears building up in your eyes again but you smiled.

"it's beautiful.. I'll make sure to take care of it." you said before you wiping your tears away as you held the only thing left of your father in your hands.

Telemachus then takes it from you as he takes your hand and starts wrapping it around your hand.

"also my father wants to meet you, he said he didn't wanna miss anything about his son and he wanted to mean the future queen of ithaca" said Telemachus as he wink at you making you chuckles at his remakes as he wrapped the whole ribbon around your arm.

"then i guess we should be going, it's not a good idea to keep the king of ithaca waiting for any longer" you said as you try to stand up but Telemachus pulled you down again making you fall into his arms.

"nah, he's with my mom right now.i guess they need their time, so how about we stay here for a while my queen?" he said as he grins at you making you laugh softly.

"as you wish, my king" you said before cupping his face softly kissing every corner of his face.

even if you never knew your real family, it doesn't matter. you have Telemachus and that's all that matters to you.

note: the end is kinda rushed sorry... but this takes me so long and i needed to finish it, i may make another version because i had two ideas for this scenario soooo maybe who knows . anyway i hope y'all like it!!!
