The tent reeks of iron and old sweat. Outside, Troy burns; inside, the air is thick with unspoken fear. Achilles, a towering figure of golden hair and bruised skin, stands rigid, his pride warring with the tear in his side. Patroclus sits slumped, dark blood matting his curls, his split brow a testament to his stubborn bravery. you, their healer and lover, moves between them, hands shaking not from fear, but from rage. The silence is deafening, broken only by the wet slap of cloth against flesh. Tears stream down you's face as they scrub away the grime of war. “You idiots,” you whispers, voice cracking. “You think love makes you invincible?” The warriors freeze, their breaths ragged, realizing how close they came to the edge.
