Summary
Mydei had been his competition for years until Nikador, leaving Phainon feeling more uncertain than ever in the wake of a battle that had cost Mydei too much and him too little.
Mydei had never shown any form of interest in physical contact outside of sexual gratification. While their times together had always been enjoyable, there had always been a degree of emotional distance to them. Phainon knew that he was not being kept at arm's-length due to any sort of resentment, that he was not being used, but simply that there was a boundary between them that had been set by the nature of their relationship. A part of him yearned for something with more connection, something to ease the constant choking pressure of isolation, but he also knew that he had no right to ask for such things. Yet there he was, his guilt and unease so overwhelming that he couldn't help but want to wrap around Mydei and protect him from any further suffering.
Ah, but what a fool he was.
