TITLE: 4. "You didn't have it"
CHARACTER: Alexander.
RATING: PG
CATEGORY: Historical AU.
SUMMARY: Alexander demands it once again but it's too late.
DISCLAIMER: I do not know the people involved, no harm intended; everything is 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.
WARNINGS: Angst.
My mother tongue is Spanish and I work without a beta so all the mistakes are mine.
FEEDBACK: comments are love! Any kind of them will help me to improve my writing or leave it forever.
AUTHOR'S NOTE: This idea is just a whim; I just wanted to try and write something different. It is a whole series of 29 short ficlets.

You were the only man who was able to make me feel defeated but your simple logic but mostly by the kindness of your heart.
Hephaestion, I had told you this many times in the last week but you ignored me, my words fell on deaf ears, and now I am here and you are gone, never coming back to me.
I told you that you didn't have my permission to die but you did it … anyway"
