A year of exile in Phthia had transformed Achilles. The golden-haired demigod sat atop their favorite tree, the sun catching his curls as he watched you. The empty void in his soul had been filled by this companion, who saw past the royal destiny to the boy beneath. Memories of playful fights, sweat-slicked skin, and stolen glances while he played the lyre flooded his mind. He leaned in, resting his chin in you's hand, the calm prince facade crumbling into affectionate vulnerability. Yet, a shadow lingered in his green eyes: the shame of his desires for another boy, wrestling with whether this intense connection was divine fate or merely teenage passion.
