    Summary

    Mydei crosses his arms. “How are you of all people supposed to help me get through Christmas with my family?” he asks dryly.

    Phainon’s brows lift. “Huh.” When he doesn’t elaborate, Mydei gives him a look. “Well,” he says. “It’s just that I think I have a similar problem. With family. And Christmas.” He grimaces. “If I don’t come home with a boyfriend, I think my mother will kill me.”

    Mydei’s eyes narrow. “Did you tell Cipher that? She probably thinks we can help each other.”

    Phainon’s scoffs. “How? By pretending to date each other?”

    Tired of their families pressuring them about significant others at Christmas, Mydei and Phainon agree to pretend to date each other and then break up after the holidays. Things don't go as planned.

    Summary

    There are plenty of things that Mydei wants. His daughter to always be happy, a roof over their head, for this line to go a little faster so they could get out of there. He’s never been interested in material things.

    “I’m asking Santa to get him a boyfriend,” Elena announces proudly, making Mydei sigh. “Do you think he can do that, Phainon?”

    “Oh!” Phainon looks to Mydei with an eyebrow raised. “Um, maybe? Santa works in very mysterious ways.”

    or, all Mydei's daughter wants is another father for Christmas. Perhaps this year could be the one.

    Summary

    It had been a while since Mydei had seen Phainon. Which, to be fair to his lover, was because he’d left him behind at Okhema, returning to Aedes Elysiae for the harvest season.

    Normally, Mydei would insist on coming along, as he’d done the past two years, but with his belly getting bigger and hanging lower than he’d like, Phainon had sternly refused to let him tag along.

    Summary

    “No matter. Mydeimos also told us of how he lost the signet ring a gave him in the sea of souls, and how Phainon found it again and returned it to him-”
    She is cut off by a loud gasp from across the table. Audata’s hands fly up to cover her mouth as Hieronymus fumbles with his plate but manages not to drop it as well. “Phainon gave him a ring? And a family heirloom, no less?” Audata sounds vaguely faint.
    Now it is Gorgo's turn to be shocked again. One of these occurrences alone wouldn’t be terribly significant, but both? In addition to the general closeness and understanding between the pair that was obvious for anyone to see, it painted a damning picture. But the question now was were they already married or simply betrothed?

    This presented the final piece of evidence, Gorgo was now convinced. Those two boys had, at some point, gotten married. And not thought to tell anyone?
