AN: I've never written and posted a Modern AU for this fandom before, so it might suck. I'm so sorry if it does. For those of you that do see this, enjoy!
Alexander Megalos stood by the door to his apartment, shrugging on his leather jacket as he got ready to leave for the graveyard shift at the local clinic just a few streets away. His boyfriend of five years, and friend since childhood, Phaedros Amyntor, sat in an armchair in the living room in his boxers and a t-shirt reading a book.
"I'm going now, Love," Alexander strolled into the room where his boyfriend was and leaned down to recieve and give a kiss, "Call me if-"
"-anything happens, lock the door before I go to bed, feed Peritas, etc. etc. I know, Dearest. You've had this job for three months now, I think I've got the routine figured out."
Alexander smiled brightly, showing off perfectly straight white teeth, "All right. I'm serious though- Call me if anything happens. I'm right down the street," he checked the watch that was always on his right wrist, "I gotta go," he recieved another quick kiss, "See you in the morning!" and he was out the door.
Phai, which was Alexander's nickname for his boyfriend, watched his boyfriend go before turning to his novel that he had to finish for class the next day. But after two hours, the book was done, Peritas was fed, and the door was locked. Phai was completely alone.
Realizing this fact as he watched the darkening sky, he decided to fix his problem. Walking into the bedroom determinedly, he heard the muffled sound of Peritas' paws in the gray shag carpet as he followed him in there. Turning toward the closet that he and Alexander shared, he pet Peritas' head as the black Alopekis butted his head against Phaedros' hip, knowing that he too was missing Alexander.
"It's okay, Boy, I miss him too," with that, Phai turned back to the closet, and, after a minute or two of indecision, took out Alexander's shirt of dark blue cotton and put it on, the act of wearing one of his lover's shirts helping him to not feel so alone.
