    Summary

    "She’s pretty, isn’t she? And you’re probably the only person on this planet that can touch her. What if she gets the wrong idea, or something? What if you…”

    An incredulous laugh bubbles up in Mydei’s throat, but he bites his tongue to keep it down. “Are you stupid?” he asks, putting his free hand on Phainon’s hip and pressing him back. One step, two, they stumble. He pushes Phainon into the door, coming close. “Do you think I fall in love with everyone I meet?”

    “How could you?” Phainon asks, unsteady, hands flexing on Mydei’s waist. “When you didn’t fall in love with me?”

    Summary

    Everyone had their fair share of secrets, some more so than others.

    Mydei knew this better than most. To his colleagues and to anyone else he came across daily, he was simply the solemn one. He never said anything more than what was asked of him and he never lingered long enough to befriend anyone else. No man was an island, but Mydei came close to being one.

    But alone, in the solitary privacy of his own room every Thursday and Sunday night, he harbored one little secret that he would never deign to reveal to anyone else.

    -

    or, what do you do when these secrets come to light-and are found out by the person you least wanted to know?

    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.”

    Summary

    “I wanted to say thank you, I guess.”

    “There’s no need for that, between us,” Mydei says, "It’s a given. I don’t stand by you for thanks.” A soft bump against his shoulder. Phainon’s head is a slight weight, his neck at an awkward angle.

    “Marry me,” he says, and Mydei snorts.

    “I already did.”

    Summary

    “Why do they throw flowers?”

    “They’re well-wishes,” Phainon answers. “Crocuses are for new beginnings, cyclamen are for love, colchicum for fidelity. They’re blessing the marriage.”

    Mydei’s hand shifts a little lower, warm fingers circling Phainon’s wrist. “Your traditions are terribly sentimental.”

    “Romantic,” Phainon corrects. “Just call them romantic.”

    To save his people, Mydei strikes a deal. Aid in exchange for two things: the coreflame of Strife and his hand in marriage.
