Summary: After Hephaistion's death Alexander had a second chance

Second chance part 6

Alexander was angry, his meeting with his father didn't turn out the way he wanted and now he was searching for Hephaistion. Finally, he found him, at the little garden, laughing with Anaxagoras. He was annoyed deeply as he rushed toward them and said harshly.

"It's about time! For fifteen minutes, I have been searching you Hephaistion!" Then he leveled a death glare at Anaxagoras.

Hephaistion stood up, he understood immediately that his lover's meeting must have gone poorly and he stayed calm.

"I told your page, I would tell Anaxagoras that the king could not meet him myself." Then he turned his head to the older man. "Can you excuse us?"

" Yes," added Alexander "you, can go back at Mieza"

Hephaistion was surprised by the tone of his Alexander's and the rude dismissal of Anaxagoras. He glared at Alexander and Alexander sighed understanding he gone too far.

"I am sorry, you came for nothing sir." He continued by way of apology.

Anaxagoras smiled and said "Don't worry, it's alright." Anaxagoras left but had no intention to go back to Mieza already.

Hephaistion crossed his arms. Alexander looked at him, knowing what was coming. "You were so rude! It is not because the meeting with your father did not go as you'd planned either! Why do you always have to take out your frustration on the people around you who are not at fault, Alexander!"

"I know."

"So, what happened?" Hephaistion asked, his voice soft again now that he had scolded Alexander.

"He sent Cleitus away."

Hephaistion frowned "I know that! But ..."

Alexander interrupted him, "and he wanted to make Cleitus my Eraste!" This time it was Hephaistion to interrupted him. "NO! That is not possible!" he yelled.

"Yes, that is exactly what I said. That already have you..."

"And?" Hephaistion hurried Alexander along; his gut was twisting with anxiety and he urgently needed to hear what Philip had decided.

"He finally gave up. Told me that my love for you, would surely "please" my mother, that it would be a quite a scenario to observe… he was being ironic of course."

"Your mother will not like me. Why?"

"She hates everyone who is too close to me, or who I love too much."

" Great! I can't wait to meet her." said Hephaistion worried. One more enemy, he thought, that is the last thing I need. It was the first time that he began to wonder if his shoulders were strong enough to bear and handle all of his enemies and there disdain for him.

"I don't care of what she thinks, Hephaistion. It is you that I love and if she cannot accept that it is her problem, not mine, and not yours." Alexander stated with conviction as he took his lover's hand and kissed it.

Hephaistion's heart both warmed a little and lurched a lot at the words and the gesture. He knew the rumors about the queen and her poisons and assassins and he had no desire to fall prey to either one of them.

"I have a secret to show you! Something that pissed my mother off when one day she caught me doing it!" then he paused, "it's a little embarrassing too... so don't laugh please."

"What it is?" asked Hephaistion worriedly.

"It's a naughty pleasure... I have had it for along time." Alexander had lowered his voice to a conspiratory whisper.

Hephaistion grinned "And your mother caught you doing it..." but Alexander slapped his friend on the head gently.

"It's not what you think, pervert!"

"This 'is' intriguing then..."

"Come with me!" and they left the garden both giggling like little boys.

At the same time Anaxagoras was not waste his time either. He remembered his mother wasn't nearby; that she was with some friends for a feast for Dionysus and he used a secret passage he knew to go to his mother's rooms. He was about to realize a very old desire he'd had; but never quite possessed the courage to play out when he was younger. But now, he had defeated barbarians, even elephants, and he was not afraid any longer. He entered the deserted room and he felt nostalgic. The last time he was here, it was after his father's death, not a very good memory.

During this time, Alexander and Hephaistion also entered into in a room.

"Where are we?" asked Hephaistion.

«It is my sister's room, she will not return until tomorrow." He grinned mischievously.

"And what are we doing here?" asked Hephaistion feeling very uncomfortable.

"Turn you back and close your eyes!"

"What?"

"Do it!" Alexander snapped and Hephaistion characteristically obeyed. "Don't turn back until I tell you!"

Hephaistion was wondering what Alexander was up to. Finally after what seemed a lifetime Alexander asked him to turn back and he did. He could not speak, or even process the sight before him. He closed his eyes, shook his head, reopened his eyes and refused to believe that the scene in front of him had not changed.

"Ah, Alexander…" He said cautiously trying keep the tremor out of his voice.

"Well, what do you think, do you hate it?" Alexander asked worriedly.

"Hate it.» He said carefully. «Well, Alexander…it is…it is…well, it is just surprising..."

"I heard that Achilles did this from time to time too! Besides, I love the feeling of wearing dress! It's so much more beautiful than our chiton!" said Alexander with enthusiasm.

"You are also well, pretty in it too." said Hephaistion blushing and now that the surprise had passed he was more comfortable with Alexander's guilty pleasure.

"You want to try it! You are bigger than me! But I could find some dress that might suit you."

Hephaistion shook his head slowly without taking his eyes from Alexander. «Perhaps another day, Alexander."

"Oh." Said Alexander a little disappointed.

Hephaistion moved closer and kissed his lover passionately. "You are so… well… desirable in that dress Alexander, you wear it so much better than a woman."

Alexander felt Hephaistion hard member pressing against him.

"I see that! So, mighty Hephaistion, are you going to take care of your girlfriend?" he asked with a wicked smile.

"Oh, yes." Hephaistion gasped eagerly as he began to undress Alexander. He was stunned at his own fierce reaction to Alexander. He wanted to ravage him. His desire was nearly uncontrollable. His fingers fumbled in the green silk folds as tried to stay calm and unfasten the clasps.

During this time, in his mother's room Alexander was looking at himself, dressed in a beautiful white dress of his mother's. He was for once glad for his loss of weight since Hephaistion had died. The dress actually suited him and did not fit so badly.

"I hope you see me from where you are my beloved Hephaistion! See I finally did it!" he said as his smile faded away at the thought that Hephaistion was not truly there to see him.
