Cleitus watched as Hephaistion walked away from Alexander's tent. Alexander was a fool to turn hephaistion away. Hun, it's loneliest before battle, well Cleitus wasn't going to be lonely. "Has the great king turned you down," Cleitus says as Hephaistion walks by him. Hephaistion sends a dark look at Cleitus. "He is a fool," Cleitus says when he realizes Hephaistion wasn't going to stop and talk to him. "Who?" "Alexander. He is a fool." "Why is that?" Hephaistion questions stopping and looking over his shoulder. "Because if I were him I would never have turned you down. What was his excuse 'It's loneliest before battle.' Hephaistion turns around to face Cleitus. "What do you want?" "I want to give you, what you offered him." "Why?" "Because I can give you what he never could. Do you think when he is king of Asia you'll still have a place in his bed. Think about it Hephaistion. You'll always have a place in my bed. You and only you. You give your heart to someone who could never fully return it." "Alexander loves me." "And how many others do think he has said those same words to." Hephaistion steps toward Cleitus, anger rolling off his body. "I will never lie with you," he whispers. Before he could pull back Cleitus grips him by the back of the head and passionately kisses him. Driving his tongue in Hephaistion's mouth. After the need for oxygen becomes to great he releases him. Hephaistion stumbles back gasping for breath. "There's more where that came from if you would but join me. I am far more experienced then Alexander could ever hope to be." "I would never willing lie in your bed," Hephaistion states angerly wiping his mouth with his hand. Cleitus own anger began to rise. What did Alexander have that he did not. Grabbing Hephaistion's arm he pulls the smaller man toward him. "What is it that is so special about him. I could give you so much more then he could. I could give you my heart all of it. Tell me Hephaistion, will you be content being his whore." Hephaistion tries to pull his arm away. When he can't he glares at Cleitus. "I swear Cleitus if you do not release me, you shall regret it." "Answer my question." "I'd rather be his whore then lie in your bed." Before Cleitus can respond a strong hand grips his shoulder and pulls him back. He releases Hephaistion only to turn and face Alexander. His eyes black with rage.
