TITLE: " The birthday gift"
PAIRING: Alexander and Hephaestion.
RATING: PG
CATEGORY: Historical AU.
DISCLAIMER: I don't know the people involved. Everything is the product of my imagination. Alexander and Hephaestion belong to History and to each other but I would not mind sharing my life with the blue-eyed man.
My mother tongue is Spanish and I work without a Beta so all the mistakes are mine.
FEEDBACK: Comments are love! Any kind will help me to improve my writing or leave it forever.
AUTHOR'S NOTE: It's Alexander's birthday today!
Everything was ready. (The brunette had checked up to the minimum detail several times)
Everybody knew where they had to be. (They had to remain out of their sight for the rest of the day)
The food was hot, but next to the fire to keep it warm. (They might get a bit busy before they had dinner)
The gifts were still wrapped with beautiful and colourful silk kerchiefs (except one that was completely naked and waiting)
The only thing that needed to be done was to call the birthday man (The faithful Nikos was in charge of delivering the message)
The message was short and rather commanding (They liked changing roles every now and then)
Alexander was rather confused but he went to see his partner anyway (He didn't dare to disobey a direct order from him)
He read the message again and knocked on the heavy wood door (He had been ordered to wait until entrance was granted)
A strong and sexy baritone voice allowed his entrance and also quickened the royal heart (After all those years together)
The king of the known world was about to receive his present (he only wanted his husband's strong arms around him)
He entered the dim-lit chamber and he felt surprised (he couldn't believe the changes in their room)
He was about to voice his delight when something caught his attention (he didn't know if he could believe his eyes)
His husband's bare body was engulfed in the dying sun rays (He felt jealous of the morning sun for touching his skin)
Inside the room, Hephaestion had recreated their secret spot in Mieza (where their love had been born)
A pair of strong muscled arms snaked around his royal waist and brought him closer to the naked man. (He knew him well)
Each word of the whispered "Happy birthday, love" was followed by a peck on his face. (He wanted much more)
Alexander was about to speak but he was gently silenced. (Warm and pliant lips covered his own in a sweet kiss.)
Gentle hands sneaked beneath his clothes and caressed him lovingly. (There was no other way between them)
His royal robes fell to the floor and both lovers were in equal conditions (As it always has been)
Hephaestion made love to his husband, gifting him his own body, mind and soul (His entire being was Alexander's)
Their love, the best gift.
