Dressed to impress. 300 words.

"You look smart today, Hephaestion"

"Thank you, Ptolemy" said the youth blushing.

"So anything to share?" asked Perdicas.

"No" stated the brunette blushing even deeper.

"Oh! Here comes Alexander" said Nearchos.

"Joy to you, my Prince" said Cassander, trying to monopolize the blonde's attention.

"Nice attire, my friend, you look as smart as Hephaestion does."

"Thanks Perdicas" and everybody could see the complicit wink between the prince and his brunette friend.

"So, where are you going Alex?"

"Nowhere, why?" asked Alexander trying to hide his embarrassment.

"You are so smartly dressed that we thought you were going somewhere" said Perdicas smirking.

"Or is there a banquet in the Palace and we were not invited?" asked Cassander.

"No, my mother has just sent me these clothes and I wanted to try them on" explained Alexander, biting his lower lip.

"Health to you, my friends" said Hephaestion suddenly and started to walk towards the center of the city.

"Well, I am going too, my father wanted to discuss something with me" said Alexander quickly.

The rest of the companions got a bit curious; those two had been acting strange in the last past days, disappearing together or spending time apart from the others. Today they had been nervous all day long.

The companions decided to follow them and they were highly surprised, because there they were, blonde and brunette walking together, hand in hand, giving each other quick glances when they thought the other was not looking.

They finally stopped and both entered a place. When the companions got nearer, they could see it was an amphitheater where they were reciting "Stories from Troy" and so they finally realized that their friends were having their first date.
