    Summary

    He and Mydei still get into fights all the time actually, but it’s different now. Now, after a fight, Phainon fluffs the pillows on the couch while Mydei takes a pint of blueberry-yuzu gelato out of the freezer, the one they always keep stocked for post-fight nights. Then, they’ll curl up on the couch, side by side with one spoon between them, and watch whatever show is trending on Netflix.

    Recently they’ve been going through an adaptation of one of Mydei’s favorite novel series. Phainon has been trying to get them to fight again so they can watch the next episode.

    Mydei plans a dinner night for their friends. Phainon is his in-house, nonnegotiable sous-chef who also happens to believe that Mydei is undateable.

    Summary

    Behind the glass, careful script paints flowery imagery of spars under a golden sun, of quiet dinners that carry low conversations late into the night, endless prose of a domestic life thought impossible. If it is only a hopeless fantasy now, Mydei reads with bated breath, then in every life after I will reach out again and again to take your hand in mine.

    Mydei inhales sharply. Turns on his teleslate. Slowly dials Phainon’s number from memory.

    Phainon picks up on the first ring. “Mydei! Is something the matter?”

    Hearing Phainon’s voice, a million wrong words pool at the tip of his tongue. When were you planning to confess that you’re in love with me, Mydei wants to say.

    “I’m at Okhema’s museum for the exhibit you told me about,” Mydei says eventually. “It’s been… informative.” Why did you write a dozen love letters to me in the span of three days, he doesn’t mention.

    [in which phainon learns the hard way why keeping track of your belongings is so important. mydei gets ahold of some letters long overdue.]

    Summary

    “You smell good,” Mydei murmurs, lips skimming across his skin. Phainon shivers, heat warming him like he’s entering his own rut. Mydei presses closer, his arms wrapping around Phainon’s waist. “Your skin is cold.”

    “You’re just running hot,” Phainon mutters, fingers flexing on Mydei’s waist. He feels high-strung, body coiled tight as he lets Mydei brush his cheek against his skin like a cat.

    Mydei huffs a laugh, and Phainon feels it rumble against him like an earthquake.

    Summary

    “…Pull yourself together,” Mydei muttered, hands on Phainon’s shoulders, trying to gently, pry the other Alpha off.

    Phainon whined. His grip tightened as he nuzzled further in to his chest, letting out another whine like this was exactly where he wanted to be.

    And Mydei?

    Mydei panicked.

    Red crystals were growing around the arena, and around them. He should probably get them under control, but—

    By Nikador’s name—

     

     

    What had he done.

     

     

    Or where Alpha Mydei accidentally marks Phainon during a spar.

    Summary

    “Finish the story,” Phainon prompts, and it comes out kind of quiet, kind of weird.

    “He fell in love with a warrior in Okhema,” Mydei tells him, sliding a hand under his pillow. “They were equals in just about everything, and that’s… significant to a Kremnoan. He died sacrificing himself to buy that warrior time to save the city.”

    “That sounds like something a hero would do to me.”

    “Maybe,” Mydei grumbles. “A real hero wouldn’t leave the one he loves to fight alone.”

    On a trip to see his sick sister, Phainon realizes a few things. Foremost of these: through it all, Mydei has never once left his side.
