Drabble: Five Things Alexander hates about Hephaestion.

PAIRING: Alexander & Hephaestion.

RATING: PG.

DISCLAMER: I don't know the people involved, they belong to History and to themselves but I wouldn't mind sharing my life with Phai *sighs*

WARNING: None, just hints of m/m relationship.

NO BETA so all mistakes are mine.

FEEDBACK: comments are love!

PHAI'S FEET: his General has sexy feet, strong ankles and slender toes. He frequently gets some blisters after long walks and he always goes to Alexander to get some of that magic cream that cures them.

He is also very naughty with his feet, sometimes he starts caressing his lover's calf with one of them, climbing along his leg, tickling the back part of his knee, crawling up his inner thigh to finally rub and caress his groin.

So why does Alexander hate Phai's feet? Because they are the ones that take his lover far from him.

PHAI'S BLOOD: Phai's blood is very red and thick; it flows, through his veins, along his entire body. It is the one which provokes that sensual blushing in his manly cheeks, it is the liquid that makes his "desire" stand out for his King to notice; it is the red lace that keeps that frame joined and working.

So why does Alexander hate Phai's blood? Because when this precious liquid runs out his lover's body, Alexander is afraid that his life is running away too.

PHAI'S EYES: Everybody knows that his eyes are made with two blue waves Poseidon gifted Aphrodite, but only Alexander knows how his eyes change according to his mood, from crystal blue to deep violet.

Hephaestion can speak with his eyes and Alexander always looks at them, searching for their reassurance.

So why does Alexander hate Phai's eyes? Because when Hephaestion casts them down, Alexander's world is bright less and he feels lonely.

PHAI'S SKIN: the brunette General has a very nice skin, always tanned but never reddish; it glows as gold when a lawyer of perspiration covers it and makes him look as a god; it is warm and soft to touch, especially when Alexander is the one caressing it with his fingertips or running his tongue along it.

So why does Alexander hate Phai's skin? Because when Hephaestion is ill, it turns extremely cold, it looks like white marble and Alexander cannot feel life in it.

PHAI'S HANDS: Hephaestion has slender and big hands; his fingers are long and strong but they can be gentle at the same time. His hands are never quiet, they are always in movement while he speaks, creating or designing something or just touching because Hephaestion is a person who needs feeling everything with his hands.

So why does Alexander hate Phai's hands? Because when Hephaestion is away, Alexander misses them too much, not only because of the lack of caresses but also because they are the ones that soothe his soul.
