29. ROMANTIC. (240 words)
Romance was for women and his partner was a man and, to put the matter worse, he was also a prince; a very handsome and strong young man with hair made of sunrays and two-toned eyes.
Even though he had been battling against it, Hephaestion decided to do something romantic for Alexander, just to show him how much he cared about him.
There was when the problem began; he could not give him flowers, that was too girlish. He could not give him sweets because Alexander did not eat them anymore after his latest liver attack. He could not give him jewels because he had not enough money for such an expensive present.
After thinking and thinking, he could not come with something to give him. Therefore, he decided on a new tactic. He saw Alexander coming his way and the blonde was about to ask him what the problem was when the brunette put a single finger on the prince's mouth to hush him. He then took a deep breath and said aloud:
"I love you so much, my Alexander"
Then he took the prince's lips in a heart-stopping kiss. He then pecked the slightly swollen lips and whispered against them:
"By the way, Happy birthday, my prince"
"Well, my birthday is not until tomorrow" the prince stuttered.
"Oh, my mistake. So I will have to kiss you tomorrow again" Hephaestion said and smiled broadly.
