    Summary

    See: it does not come as a surprise to anyone that the two of them so often engage in this streak of competitiveness; though, at first, it was of belief that such resolve existed only on the training grounds, with long-sword in hand and gauntlets tightened around a heavy-handed fist.

    What no one had expected was for this quality to carry over into such simple tasks; the both of them adamant on outdoing the other in their devotion.

    or - 5 times Mydei and Phainon compete over acts of service + 1 time there's a clear winner

    Summary

    This time, Phainon doesn’t tense, but he does say, “We’re on the same side, but it’s not as if you treat me like a friend.” Mydei does, in fact, treat Phainon like a friend, but their expectations for friendship are clearly very, very different. “And now we’re naked, in the baths, and you’ve got your hands half an inch from my dick.”

    “Are you always so preoccupied with the proximity of my hands to your dick?” Mydei asks. Phainon makes the same sort of sound you’d hear from a wet cat. Mydei choses to ignore it. “I’m not going to touch you anywhere but your leg.”

    Even though he wants to. Even though he’s wanted to for quite a long time.

    Phainon injures his leg while training, and Mydei tends to it.

    Summary

    The problem with Phainon is that—well. There's actually no problem with Phainon, if you discount the fact that he works six days a week and spends his single day off being on-call; his intertwining savior-hero-martyr complex (according to Cyrene); his ugly rusted beat-up truck (according to Hyacine); his general demeanor and boring lifestyle (according to Cipher).

    In which Phainon has an ethical crisis.

    Summary

    At some point all Phainon was able to think about was Mydei's mouth, wet with blood, imagining the drag of it down Phainon's jugular, the heat of it against Phainon's lips—a sure sign of abundant blunt force trauma to the brain. Mydei spat in his eye, Phainon elbowed Mydei's windpipe, and so on and so forth. Then Phainon opened his mouth and said: "I bet you won't win against me this round," which Mydei replied: "With what?" and Phainon joked: "My dignity." Mydei's laugh was rough, feral. He said: "Deal."

    In which Phainon learns how to bite.

    Summary

    “Phainon, I have no desire to play this game with you anymore.”

    Bewilderment coats his face, “Pardon?”

    “You have made your peace back then as have I,” he says firmly, “I am no longer the Mydei from our youth—the one that chases after your coattails for any sliver of your affection. I have a nation to lead now.”

    “I apologize that it took me so long to reciprocate—”

    Phainon nearly flinches back as Mydei laughs, resigned, “No, there is nothing to apologize for now, Duke Khaslana. The sun has set within my heart.”

    In his youth, Duke Khaslana turns down the affection of the Crown Prince of Kremnos, Mydei, with the weight of his duchy and societal norms on his back and in his adulthood, he chases after him with missed summers’ worth of kisses and touches weighing on him.

    Will he somehow manage to earn back the prince’s affection or is the sun never destined to rise within Mydei’s heart ever again?
