    Summary

    "Chiron only trains heroes." He repeats the same words from that day. "It’s not something you choose.”

    "And you are one?"

    The question stung. Mydeimos’ jaw tightened. "It was foretold."

    “Right. Foretold,” Phainon scoffed, as if it were a minor detail. “Well, no one’s foretold anything about me, so I guess I have to make my own way.”

    One trained by fate, the other chasing it. The gods, of course, remain entertained.
    Chiron watches them both, and wonders how many ways a heart could break.

    Or; Mydeimos and Phainon grow up together in the forest, undergoing a decade of training to become heroes.

    Summary

    The problem with Phainon is that—well. There's actually no problem with Phainon, if you discount the fact that he works six days a week and spends his single day off being on-call; his intertwining savior-hero-martyr complex (according to Cyrene); his ugly rusted beat-up truck (according to Hyacine); his general demeanor and boring lifestyle (according to Cipher).

    In which Phainon has an ethical crisis.

    Summary

    Phainon seems to pick up on his thinly veiled dismissal, his smile falling.

    “I—yeah. Yes. You’re right, I’m sorry. Um—”

    “Goodnight, Phainon,” Mydei says, a touch gentler, pushing off the railing and heading back to the door.

    He can just barely hear Phainon’s soft, “Goodnight, Mydeimos,” before he’s shutting the chamber door behind him.

    Or: a mutual, unprompted kiss is left unresolved. Mydei and Phainon aren't quite sure how to breach the subject.

    Summary

    Mydei’s gaze shifts to the other woman who was part of the group that had cornered him after closing, now standing back by the window with her arms crossed, observing. “And you just managed to produce a dress in my size on such short notice? I didn’t know you were a miracle worker, Aglaea.”

    The blonde woman simply hums, idly twisting a fine golden thread around her finger. “Inspiration sometimes strikes at the most unexpected of times. Before we opened for business, I thought it may be a novel concept to have men wait tables and lo and behold, my hands had begun moving before I knew it. How fortuitous that my work of a whim comes to use.”

    “The men could have waited tables while still wearing men’s clothes.”

    “But that would defeat the purpose of us being a maid cafe, now wouldn’t it, Mydeimos?”

    That was why he was stuck in this whole predicament in the first place.

     

    or

    Mydei dresses up as a maid for a charity pop-up maid café.
