Special thanks to dreamer46 and Rothalion ;) .
Summary: Bagoas wondered about Hephaistion and Alexander found out what Hephaistion's main dream and achievement were.
Warnings: I based my characters on my interpretation of the
movie.
It's a fanfiction based on the movie and the movie
only.
Particular warning for this fic: This fic is, like I said,
based on
the movie. I see Hephaistion as a strong character who
possessed both
good and bad qualities.
My portrayal of him is
not black and white, but gray. Remember it's a fiction and
a
fiction only.
Thanks for reading the warnings.
Because Myths are living forever
Prologue
Alexander and Hephaistion were in a cave. The young teenagers had just finished their drawings. Alexander had painted Bucephalos and Hephaistion, Alexander's portrait, with him stroking the beautiful horse. The painting depicted what he'd seen when he had watched the prince telling the frightened horse not be afraid of their shadow. Alexander wasn't as talented as Hephaistion at drawing but he did well enough that it was obvious he painted a horse. They had decided to paint Bucephalos on the cave's wall to commemorate Alexander's taming of him just a few days ago.
The drawings done, Alexander signed his work and wrote the date. Hephaistion looked at him proudly but didn't sign his portrait like his friend had done. The prince was waiting for him to do it but Hephaistion was already walking calmly toward the exit.
"Hephaistion! Wait! You didn't sign your drawing." Said Alexander.
Hephaistion turned back to his young lover. "Oh, but I did."
Alexander frowned and looked at the painting again and didn't see his best friend's sign.
" I don't see it, you didn't sign it. You have to sign it or one day, if people should discover our drawings, they will give all the credit to me."
Hephaistion looked at it again. He smiled. " No they won't, besides I did sign it."
Alexander looked carefully again. "I still don't see it; people will be confused just as I am now Hephaistion."
"They will see that there are two different styles here." He came closer to the drawing and put his finger on Alexander's portrait. "Look Alexander, I wrote an H pattern on your cloak's medallion."
Alexander looked at the 'H'. He didn't know what to think about it.
" Huh... why did you sign it this way Hephaistion?"
" Because Alexander, it's more interesting that way.'"
" What do you mean?"
" I won't tell you!" Hephaistion teased.
" What? Why?" asked a frustrated Alexander.
" It's my secret." Grinned Hephaistion enjoying Alexander's obvious confusion. He knew that his friend hated to be denied.
Alexander crossed his arms, highly annoyed and berated Hephaistion. " I thought we would have no secrets between us, Hephaistion."
" Of course we don't." Agreed Hephaistion with a smile.
" But you just told me you have one." Said Alexander already all upset.
Hephaistion came closer to his friend took his hand and kissed it tenderly.
"Don't be upset Alexander. In due time, you will find out what is it, because we are soul mates aren't we?"
" Of course." Nodded Alexander
Hephaistion smiled. " I love you my Alexander." He said, and kissed him on the lips this time.
A few moments later Hephaistion broke off the kiss and walked back to the exit. Alexander frowned dejectedly and followed him.
" I love you too Hephaistion but I think it would be better if you told me of this secret now." He berated his friend as he followed the taller boy. He was still very curious about it.
Hephaistion simply ignored his beloved .
" This is unfair." Whined Alexander frustrated, but not yet angry at his lover. The prince liked being challenged and he already promised himself to do his best to find out what was Hephaistion's secret was.
Hephaistion took Alexander's hand in his and they returned to the Palace. He kept his secret, convinced that sooner or later Alexander would be able to figure it out.
