    Summary

    “As if I have any eye for art,” Mydei replies.

    Castorice rolls her eyes. “As if plating isn’t just sculpture with food.”

    He opens his mouth to fire back a snide rejoinder, realizes she’s right, and holds his tongue instead. She’s doing him a favor, forcing him out of his house, one of his only friends who’s stuck with him over the past year of tremendous, never-ending grief. No one knows how to deal with a widower’s pain and loss. No one wants to. But Castorice has faced even more death than he has, and she hasn’t let him pull away from the world despite his attempts.

    After the unexpected death of his partner, Khaslana, about a year ago, Mydei meets photographer Phainon at a gallery exhibition he's forced to attend by his friend, Castorice. Unexpected sparks fly between them as they grow closer through Phainon's photography.

    Summary

    “Who,” Eurypon asked, his mind immediately going back to his son. He hoped Mydeimos had managed to escape from that pervert's clutches. Found some excuse to slip away. Gone to bed early or something. Really, anything would work.

    He grimaced, his thoughts souring instantly as reality hit him.

    His son didn't want to get away from that pervert. His son was probably with that pervert right now, doing gods knew what, completely by choice and his own free will.

    Phainon and Mydei's relationship through (mostly) Eurypon's eyes throughout the years.

    Summary

    “Mydei, are you tired? Do you need to take a break?”

    How could he take a break, when there were seven, eight…no he couldn’t even keep count of them any more. 

    “Mydei, you feel so good. Mydei, how are you still so tight? Mydei, wow, you managed to fit both of us at the same time.”

    Mydei was starting to hate the sound of his own name. He tried to close his eyes and lose himself in the pleasure-pain-pleasure-pain that was resonating throughout his entire body.

    phainon keeps splitting into clones. mydei deals with the consequences.

    Summary

    “You’re distracted, Deliverer,” Mydei mutters. Despite saying this, he isn’t pulling any punches today.

    The silence between them becomes stiff, and Phainon needs to occupy his hands with something, anything. “I’m in the middle of… researching something,” he says.

    Mydei hums. “With the Grove?”

    Phainon feels sort-of-bad-sort-of-not for obfuscating the truth: one because it’s Mydei, and the other because the matter is about him confessing to Mydei, you see. He pulls a face. “You could say that.”

    Kremnoan Roses aren't real. Probably. Phainon is about ninety-nine percent sure. But after coming across an antique Kremnoan vase, Phainon swears that if he, by some miracle, manages to recreates them, he will confess to Mydei with a bouquet of mythical roses.

    Summary

    Mydei steps closer to where the Deliverer is sitting and asks loudly, “What do you want?”
    “Want?”
    “For Valet-Valentine’s Day.” The word is still hard to pronounce on his tongue. “Is there anything you want other than chocolate?”
    Phainon looks at him, mouth open and eyes glazed, "I guess if I have to pick something other than chocolates, can I have you?”
    “I can arrange for it.”
    Next to them, Castorice lets out an inhumane shriek Mydei chooses not to address.

    Or, Have you ever asked your rival-slash-friend-slash-crush what they want for Valentine's day and they answered "you"? No? Guess it's just Mydei... And he's not one to joke around about such things.

    Summary

    Mydei sets the basket down by the bed, noticing his mother jolt at the sound.

    “Mother, why is your hair white all of a sudden?”

    The figure in bed gasps, eyes peeking from under the blanket. The voice that answers is low, rough, so unmistakably deeper than Gorgo’s. And he knows exactly who this voice belongs to.

    “Worry not, my child. It seems like an effect of the illness.”

    “Hm. Okay. So why is your voice deeper than usual?”

    “I’m just hoarse, darling.” Gorgo never calls him darling. “Since I’ve been coughing all night.”

    The blanket shifts again, and Mydei’s gaze drops lower, to the weird lump tenting the blanket right in the middle.

    “I see. But there is one thing I cannot understand, Mother.” He emphasizes the word, eyes locked at the obvious excitement of the wolf currently impersonating his mother.

    “Why is the blanket tenting like that?”

    Wait, this is not how the fairy tale goes...

    Summary

    “Look, this might sound a little strange… but could you hear me out for a moment?” Phainon asks, his tone hopeful.

    Mydei supposes he signed himself to it. He gives a short nod. Phainon fidgets with the bandage between his fingers.

    “I wanted today to be special.” He pauses, his shoulders dropping slightly. “There’s someone I’ve wanted to ask out for a long time.”

    Oh, by Nikador balls. Mydei was really going to have to sit here and listen to Phainon gush about his undying crush on Cyrene, wasn’t he? He clenches his fists inside the costume, a wave of discomfort washing over him.

    Mydei is working part-time as a mascot at the recently opened Chimera Park. While wearing his Fig Stew costume, he unexpectedly befriends a cheerful teenager, who happens to be both his classmate and his long-time secret crush for over two years, Phainon.

    What could possibly go wrong?

    Summary

    Phainon is undoubtedly obsessed with Mydei, his co-worker, who is far above him in the food chain as a lion. Not that Phainon cares, not when he's more than willing to show Mydei who truly is the prey between them both.

    Mydei, on the other hand, wants nothing more than to be shown just how deeply Phainon means that threat.

    Summary

    Standing at the entrance, slick dripping down his thighs, is Mydei.

    “Fight me, Deliverer,” he says, chest heaving. Before Phainon can answer, before he can even begin to think of anything resembling an answer, Mydei’s already stalking over, the haze of his scent growing ever thicker. “Fight. Me.”

    Summary

    Undying Prince, for some reason materialized in the flesh before his unworthy eyes, looks down at him with a raised eyebrow and Phainon is overwhelmed by the urge to compel the world to bow in front of the majesty of the last prince of the Kremnoan Dynasty.

    Yet the otherworldly man simply extends his hand. “The book. Can I have it?”

    Reality hits him in the form of heat crawling up all the way to his face. His glasses fog up. “Oh. Ah, uhm. Yes, the book,” he squawks. “The book you requested.”

    Summary

    No one was as qualified to call themselves a Mydeimos Super Fan as Okhema Security Pvt. Ltd.'s most diligent cog in the system; Phainon.

    A lucky opportunity had him brushing shoulders with an old bandmate from Mydei's early career days, and perhaps, if he was even luckier, the man of the hour himself. And so, Phainon hatched a semi-professional plan of working his way into his Idol's good graces.

    What Phainon's plan, namely, did *not* involve was punching said Idol's million-dollar face to save his boss from a PR disaster. Nor did he expect it to work.

    Summary

    Phainon’s clothing had been going missing.

    It started small: the extra undershirts he assumed were lost in the laundry, the cape for his coat nowhere to be found. Now his coat itself was missing, the one he’d already been using as a replacement for the other missing one.

    Someone must’ve been behind it, yet who would bother with something so benign?

    Summary

    Mydei pays their bickering no mind. Instead, he turns to the rapidly approaching group of five and says, “My friends, I want you to meet them.”

    Hephaestion. Perdikkas. Leonnius. Peucesta. Ptolemy.

    Phainon greets them with a smile. Or tries to. He’s not sure it lands. He knows them. After all, he’s met them before, countless times actually—some rare cycles here and there where they didn’t meet their ends early.

    They’re friendly if not wary. Pleasantries are exchanged, words of joyous occasion, but Phainon’s mind is elsewhere, off on a different plane of existence.

    Because Mydei smells like them, and Phainon doesn’t like it.

    Mydei returns from Castrum Kremnos smelling like foreign alpha. Phainon reacts.

    “You won’t break my heart, will you?”

    “You’ll break mine first,” Mydei whispers against Phainon’s mouth. “Kiss me.”

    Phainon still wavers. The softness of his lips is right there, close but not close enough, when he should be pressing them hungrily over Mydei’s and swallowing all the words and feelings before they can get out. 

    “Kiss me,” Mydei insists, closing his own hands on Phainon’s stupid choker and pulling. It sounds like he’s begging; just another thing he can add to the long list of things he usually never does: going to someone’s place after just a few drinks; kissing them in public as if the entire world didn’t matter. Falling in love.

    Summary

    Phainon hates that Mydei gets away with everything he does: skipping class, bleaching his hair; turning Phainon’s life into a mess. Hates that he can’t help but lust after him in spite of it all, replaying his honeyed accent curling the vowels in his voice when he says Deliverer, and imagining him saying Phainon the very same way, low and tentative beneath him, and Phainon knows he’s fucked.

    There's six whole months of this left until graduation, if his heart hasn’t exploded by then. Six months of pretending he hasn't thought of licking the blood off Mydei’s naked foot before biting another wound into it, wondering which colors his teeth would carve onto tanned skin — six months of pretending Phainon is normal; that he’s good.

     

    Or: Mydei transfers to Era Chrysea Uni in the middle of the semester. Phainon is good until he isn't.
