Summary
Mydei pays their bickering no mind. Instead, he turns to the rapidly approaching group of five and says, “My friends, I want you to meet them.”
Hephaestion. Perdikkas. Leonnius. Peucesta. Ptolemy.
Phainon greets them with a smile. Or tries to. He’s not sure it lands. He knows them. After all, he’s met them before, countless times actually—some rare cycles here and there where they didn’t meet their ends early.
They’re friendly if not wary. Pleasantries are exchanged, words of joyous occasion, but Phainon’s mind is elsewhere, off on a different plane of existence.
Because Mydei smells like them, and Phainon doesn’t like it.
Mydei returns from Castrum Kremnos smelling like foreign alpha. Phainon reacts.

Summary
Phainon seems to pick up on his thinly veiled dismissal, his smile falling.
“I—yeah. Yes. You’re right, I’m sorry. Um—”
“Goodnight, Phainon,” Mydei says, a touch gentler, pushing off the railing and heading back to the door.
He can just barely hear Phainon’s soft, “Goodnight, Mydeimos,” before he’s shutting the chamber door behind him.
Or: a mutual, unprompted kiss is left unresolved. Mydei and Phainon aren't quite sure how to breach the subject.

Summary
“Phainon, I have no desire to play this game with you anymore.”
Bewilderment coats his face, “Pardon?”
“You have made your peace back then as have I,” he says firmly, “I am no longer the Mydei from our youth—the one that chases after your coattails for any sliver of your affection. I have a nation to lead now.”
“I apologize that it took me so long to reciprocate—”
Phainon nearly flinches back as Mydei laughs, resigned, “No, there is nothing to apologize for now, Duke Khaslana. The sun has set within my heart.”
In his youth, Duke Khaslana turns down the affection of the Crown Prince of Kremnos, Mydei, with the weight of his duchy and societal norms on his back and in his adulthood, he chases after him with missed summers’ worth of kisses and touches weighing on him.
Will he somehow manage to earn back the prince’s affection or is the sun never destined to rise within Mydei’s heart ever again?

Summary
The emotions of despair and hopelessness, Khaslana feeling doomed to be the only one without finding love, it never came. Only the opposite. Only lines of hope, where his feelings extended beyond his own and mentioned an indirect source, a second person that has never been brought up before. There were doubts, mainly of Khaslana himself, but it wasn’t that kind of song. No, because once the song was over, Mydei realized right away that it had been a —
“Love song. Khaslana just wrote a love song.”
Cipher sounded just as surprised as he felt.
Mydei learns why he should always think twice before being a hater.
