Chapter Text
“Menelaus, why the-“ I quickly compose myself, “It’s 10 at night, what do you need?”
His voice is crackly through my old phone, “we made a blood pack in year 7, have each others’ backs.”
“Yes I remember, I didn’t want to get involved but it was for our classes honour or whatever.”
“Paris stole the love of my life, you gotta help me win back Helen Achilles.” This kid was crying, crying over the phone?
“I’ll give you glory man, how about a mention in my prom king speech?”
“Look a blood bond means a lot to me but I don’t see what we can do, if Helen wants to go to prom with Paris you can’t do much more than watch.”
“Help me and I’ll keep your secret.”
How did he? No, he ‘s trying to get in your head Achilles, he can’t know?
“Chilles, you good babe?” Okay shit, Menelaus had to hear that.
Hanging up, I glared, “Patroclus, I hate you so much right now!” But a part of myself couldn’t help but smile at my boyfriend, so incredibly, secretly mine.
“I bought popcorn, you wanna talk Chil.”
“I take it back, I could never hate you.” And I did, I poured my heart out about the whole Menelaus situation as Patroclus sat back and listened, the whole movie night left fogetten.
“You gonna call him back?”
“Okay fine, you ready?”
“Achilles I swear to the gods, I will tell the world about your boyfriend if you even consider hangi-”
“We’re in, me and Patroclus I mean.”
“Okay that means Agamemnon, Odysseus, both Ajax’s, Diomedes, Nestor, Idomeneus, Philoctetes, you & your Boyfriend are in.”
“I have one condition.”
Menelaus sighs, how I love annoying the Sparta siblings, “Name your price and I’ll give it.”
“This cant take forever, I’ll give you an hour tomorrow max.”
“Yeah of course, whatever. And thanks, I don’t know what I’ll do without Helen.”
