    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

    And his neck, Kephale above, his neck. Mydei's hair had always covered the sides and the back, but now—now, the swirls of crimson that wind up the sides of Mydei's neck are fully bared, practically begging Phainon's eyes to trail along the path that they trace over Mydei's bare skin. Now, Mydei's nape is out in the open, a seemingly innocuous patch of skin—and yet, now that it's exposed, the only thing Phainon can think about is how sensual it is.

    He's thought about it before—about brushing Mydei's hair to the side and placing a tender kiss to the spot—but now that his hair does nothing to cover it up, now that it's visible, vulnerable…

    Somehow, Phainon has a feeling he won't be able to pay very much attention to their class today.

    Mydei gets a haircut and a boyfriend, in that order.

    Summary

    “She was born premature,” Mydei said quietly, “Hyacine said there may be some difficulties in her development.”

    Phainon stared at Eleni's face, and already knew he would do anything for her.

    “Don't worry,” he promised Mydei, “We'll take care of her. We'll give her the best life we can.”

    Or, Phainon and Mydei are blessed with a daughter. She exists in some cycles. She doesn't in others.

    Khaslana witnesses it all.

    Summary

    “You’d tell me if something was wrong, right?” Just tell me.

    “I… yes? Of course. But nothing is wrong. Sweetheart, are you sure you’re alright?” Phainon asked, a touch of concern in his voice.

    I saw you with her today. At the café. You lied to me; said you were at the office. You’ve been lying to me for a very long time, haven’t you, Phainon?

    or Mydei gets his heart broken on a random sunny day in October.

    Summary

    Phainon looks at him for a moment. He takes a slow sip of his coffee, no longer steaming and fogging his glasses, then offers him a timid smile afterwards. “You can trust me, Mydei.”

    “I do,” Mydei ends up saying.

    His roommate sits back and laughs, not quite believing it yet. “Did you at least miss me?” he asks suddenly, tilting his head. Just like that, the strange tension dissipates.

    My hole was pulsing to the thought of your name. Mydei takes a long, pointed bite of his toast to avoid replying.

    Phainon’s grin sharpens into a boyish smirk. “Yeah. Thought so.”

    On paper and in his daily life, Mydei pretends to be a beta. It wouldn’t have been any trouble, if only he isn’t attracted to his alpha roommate.
