Alexander thought while he rode. He usually did this to distract himself from the realities of war and campaigning. However, this time, not even his thoughts were an escape. After the big fight with Roxana and Hephaestion, all he could do was think of them. His mind wasn't allowing them to leave him alone.

Staring at the mirror through your hair,

You can't see everything that you did to me.

With your automatic eyes, five years disappeared.

Five years disappeared that night.

At first, he thought their friendship was a positive thing. But now? They were spending so much time together. Laughing, smiling, as if Bucephalus had started pissing rainbows or something stupid like that. The more he thought of that, the angrier he became.

Do you want me to stay,

Do you want me to go?

Do you think I recognize

He lost focus of where he was leading the procession. He started picturing them, Laughing. Drinking. Eating. Together, of fucking course.

The look on your face when you think that

I know?

Blinded as the shades draw closed

Fuck. Perfect word to describe what he saw next. bare body to bare body. Hands roaming, lips brushing. Roxana whispering "Phae.."

He couldn't take it anymore. He pushed Bucephalus into a hard gallop.

Time's up for us

Would you want me to go,

If you knew what I know?

If you knew what I know

Of course, this confused everyone else. Hephaestion left Ptolemy in charge. Eventually, Alexander stopped and allowed Hephaestion to catch up to him.

Staring at the wall above the bed,

I can't sleep with all the secrets that you keep.

"Are you sleeping with her?" Alexander demanded Hephaestion, startled answered a firm "No", stopping when he realized he was about to add "But I wish I was."

"Do you love her?" Alexander boomed.

With your automatic eyes,

Five years disappeared.

Five years disappeared that night.
