Summary
You came as foster child of my fathers. You came as an orphan, rights and names stripped from you by your father himself. The servants had told me that you had killed a man. They said that you killed him in cold blood because he took your toys.
You scuffed your feet, and the sound made me realise that I was not alone anymore. I looked at you and you saw me.
You looked younger than me, even though our age was the same. That must have been due to my mother’s blood, which was mixed with mine. You were beautiful in a way that others were not. The deep, endless dark of your eyes, the swirls of your curls as they fell into your eyes, the defiant way you held your body. Part of your beauty lay in the fact that you plainly did not know how beautiful you were. There was something in your eyes that I could not decipher. It was a sparkle of wild feelings, which burned in your insides.I yawned; I had not slept since the night before. I was tired from training, speaking with my mother and not feeling like I was living in my own skin. “What is your name?”
“Patroclus,” you said.

Summary
There were few things Patroclus would say no to when it came to Achilles. When Achilles asked him not to take a summer class, he agreed because Achilles made a convincing point by merely breathing. When Achilles asked him to go on a road trip with him to Phthia so they could spend a week at the beach, how was Patroclus supposed to say no? The answer to that was that there was no way for him to say no because the whole idea had more upsides than downsides.

Summary
For a few moments, Achilles’ eyes are clouded in thought. Then, they clear with lucidity. He stands up straight, his hands held firmly behind him, the very picture of a dignified soldier. Achilles has always been a person of dualities, at once a capricious thespian and a devoted warrior.
“I hear you, your majesties,” he says as he takes another bow. “It shall be done.”
From his position at the edge of the throne room, Patroclus feels his chest seize.
…
Or: Prince Achilles is getting married. His bodyguard and closest friend, Patroclus, wishes he were the bride.

Summary
Pat never bothers to call himself special; He’s borderline at schoolwork and may be outstanding at biology, but his life is dull in comparison with a boy that keeps popping up in his life, the much admired and arrogant Achilles. Pat would ignore him if it weren't for the weird feeling of déjà vus and the random words popping into his head whenever they cross paths, and he's beginning to think there might be more to this than he first thought.
(Patrochilles Reincarnation AU, where Achilles and Pat are allowed to keep their names and appearances in exchange for their memories on earth. At least, that was the plan)
