until the tips of their noses were barely brushing against each other and their breaths, mingling together.

"hm? seems like you enjoy my idea. though"

mydei let out a soft laugh at that, eyes shining with mischief and affection for the pretty cheetah in his arms.

"say, wouldn't you like to put on a little show?" his voice dropped a little lower, though he made up for that by leaning in some more,

Phainon's ears perked up at that, and once again he seemed more like an overgrown puppy than the cheetah that he actually was.

"How bold, Mydeimos~" He managed to tease, but the pink flush slowly covering his cheeks told a different story.

It would indeed be a terrible, terrible idea... the-

"at this rate, why don't you just kiss me in the middle of the marmoreal market? that would give people plenty to talk about." mydei knew it was a bad idea. it was probably a terrible idea - not because they were supposed to hide or anything, but still.

moreso, he knew phainon was comfortable enough to cry in front of him and that was what mattered the most.

"let me know when you want to get out of the bath," he found himself murmuring, his eyes now fluttering shut.

mydeimos. @mightystrife.bsky.social · Aug 30

"that's what we're meant to do after all."

with that, mydeimos pressed one more kiss to his lips, then leaned back and carefully guided him to rest against his chest. he knew he had no reason to worry about those tears, knew phainon would eventually talk to him if he needed to.

Phainon was quiet as he heard Mydei's whispers, feeling his pulse jump at the praise, at his declaration of always believing in him. He felt the tears starting to prick his eyes without his control, though he knew that it wasn't sadness, at least not totally.

The way Mydeimos was looking at him-

mydeimos. @mightystrife.bsky.social · Aug 30

"every single version of me believed in you and wanted to support you till the very end," he found himself whispering against phainon's lips. "and i was right, every single time. it's thanks to you that we're safe."

his eyes were beaming with pride as he pulled away.

if anyone would sacrifice anything and everything for the good of everyone else, mydeimos knew that would be him. every. single. time.

mydeimos. @mightystrife.bsky.social · Aug 30

for mydeimos had never doubted his deliverer once. others would have called that way of thinking foolish. for him, however, it came as naturally as breathing.

phainon had always been nothing but a gentle soul - the most perfect of heroes.

Phainon's brow furrowed slightly at the mention of Mydeimos' many, many deaths.

"It was painful... but you really fought hard, no matter what. You never backed down a single time," He nodded slowly. "I think... if you hadn't still kept fighting, it would've hurt way more than it already does..."

+

mydeimos. @mightystrife.bsky.social · Aug 23

mydei didn't find it bad at all though.

"it was an honourable death, every single time," he murmured, hand now shifting to cup phainon's cheek. "if anything, the sweetest way to die would always be at your hand."

of course, he was fully aware of phainon's difference in opinion.

two of the chrysos heirs making out in broad daylight in such a public space? the council of elders would probably try to give them a hard time for that.

"Aha, I never say anything explicit! Maybe just a few comments with double meanings, or tiny, tiny hints that could easily pass off as really good friends," He responded with a soft laugh, leaning closer to Mydeimos as he felt the arm around his waist.

mydeimos. @mightystrife.bsky.social · Aug 23

mydeimos could only stare at him incredulously.

"and what are you telling people, HKS?"

though he made sure to sound unimpressed and keep his expression neutral, one arm slowly found its way around phainon's waist. oh, he was so, so interested in what the other had to say.

knew phainon could always see through him with ease.

mydeimos. @mightystrife.bsky.social · Aug 30

someone who didn't know him might have not seen beyond his typical, neutral expression - might have not noticed the tiniest of smiles playing on his lips or the softness in his eyes.

still, he liked to hope phainon could notice. no, knew him and his stupid attention to details,

"yes. that's all that matters," mydei retorted with a little hum. in truth, it was. of all the things he cared about in this world, phainon's thoughts were the ones he treasured the most.

for a few moments, he remained silent, gaze fixated upwards, studying phainon's pretty features.

☀️Phainon🐆 @acinonyxkhaslana.bsky.social · Aug 23

"Oh?" Phainon's eyes were bright with amusement at that. He had always tried his best, and he knew every time, Mydeimos would give in despite everything. It was something that solidified their bond, as odd as it may have seemed to others.

He let Mydei move one of his hands, resting it over his-

mydeimos. @mightystrife.bsky.social · Aug 23

"especially when you're trying to make me mad."

a mischievous glint flashed across mydei's face as he spoke. indeed, he'd grown to enjoy phainon's attempts to get a rinse out of him, perhaps a little too much.

leaning into that warm touch felt only natural. in turn, one of his own hands

and no one could witness them get this comfortable in a public setting.

mydeimos. @mightystrife.bsky.social · Aug 23

and so, instead of letting those thoughts fester, he leaned in and stole yet another kiss. this time around, he allowed himself to be a considerably more firm, teeth grazing against soft flesh as he pressed phainon closer to his chest.

good thing it was well past curtain-fall +

Phainon sighed softly, pressing his face into Mydei's shoulder for a few moments, taking in his warmth, his scent.

"I would've faltered... if I had let myself fall for you completely... as badly as I wanted to, I couldn't..." He stated softly. "It was already bad enough, what I had to do to you-

mydeimos. @mightystrife.bsky.social · Aug 23

his hold around phainon subconsciously tightened.

"there was not a single recurrence in which i didn't fall for you," mydei contributed a confession of his own. "and every single time i thought, even if i could have you, having to eventually stand your lover would only make things harder."

"We are... quite a hot topic amongst the gossips, considering how much time we spend together... even more so than Lady Aglaea and Professor Anaxa," He admitted with a soft huff, unable to meet Mydeimos' gaze now.

"Some of Castorice's stuff is indeed very well-written... but it does make me-

mydeimos. @mightystrife.bsky.social · Aug 23

oh. oh...

"deliverer... are her poems about us?"

a crimson shade was now dusting his cheeks at the thought. goodness, what was phainon even doing?

and why was mydeimos strangely pleased by the thought of writings of this nature about the two of them existing somewhere out there?

+

mydeimos. @mightystrife.bsky.social · Aug 23

that had meant more than he'd admitted at the time.

"and frankly, i just want to be the most handsome for you."

mydeimos. @mightystrife.bsky.social · Aug 23

on a different occasion, he would have retorted something about aesthetics having no meaning for kremnoans. but, it was phainon who had pushed for him to be celebrated in such a way. that much mydei knew, regardless of how sneaky the other had tried to be.
