Author's note: I have always felt that Alexander was possessive of Hephaistion. This part is really just to show the innocence between each other even if they're adults.

The party was loud and boisterous. Beautiful music was playing through the streets, it was a massive celebration. Termeh, a beautiful brunette haired girl, with sparkling green eyes was dancing close with Alexander for most of the night. Hephaistion on the other hand was watching her seduce him with little interest; he knew Alexander didn't care for woman half as much as he cared for him, though she was very pretty.

"Termeh" Alexander smiled touching her arm, "Who will you marry?"

Termeh giggled, "Oh, maybe you… maybe your friend" she said, pointing at Hephaistion. "He is…a handsome man"

Alexander's eyebrows raised slightly as he looked at Hephaistion, Hephaistion smiled.

"Oh, he's taken" Alexander snapped looking back at her, she did look rather disappointed.

"By whom?" she asked him softly, she started to stroke Alexander's arm then,

"By… by me" Alexander said softly, her eyes drifted over him and then Hephaistion again.

"Oh, you… you want to be a with another a boy?" she asked, Alexander blushed.

"For now… for now I do yes" he admitted, and she nodded.

"I see…. Well, it is to be expected, you two have a close bond" she sighed, " I wish you luck then"

"Thank you" Alexander replied, slightly embarrassed, "I am sorry…. I hope you find a great man"

"I'm looking at him" she thought and smiled politely, glancing one last time at Hephaistion whose eyes were transfixed on Alexander.

Hephaistion walked over to Alexander who looked a bit confused.

"Are you all right?" he asked, taking his hand. Alexander smiled the others all watched them for a moment before continuing on with the party.

"She wanted me" Alexander said softly, "someone wanted me… who wasn't you"

Hephaistion frowned a little,

"What did you tell her?"

"I said I have you" Alexander sighed; Hephaistion felt a breath of relief tickle his chest.

"Is that not enough, Alexander?" Hephaistion asked him,

"Its more than enough, Hephaistion" Alexander replied, "I just… know that there is more than one person who fancies me"

Hephaistion grunted, Alexander's slim hand was tightly wrapped around his own.

"Many will fall in love with you Alexander… many" Hephaistion said it, and there was a slight hint of resentment, in the fact that Alexander was beautiful.

Just then, Termeh passed them both. She wasn't looking at Alexander at all, but continued to smile at Hephaistion as she brushed past them.

"Alexander…" Hephaistion said, looking at Alexander whose eyes were fixed on the girl,

"Why is she looking at me?" Hephaistion questioned, as she kept turning around, smiling at him.

"She's jealous" Alexander remarked, and pulled Hephaistion away from the crowd.

"Funny sort of jealous" Hephaistion thought as it became darker and darker the more they got away from the party.

Alexander when he couldn't see anybody, forcefully pushed Hephaistion against a building, in a dank and dirty side street.

"Here?" Hephaistion mumbled, as Alex kissed his neck playfully, nibbling his ear.

"Here" Alexander breathed heavily, going down on Hephaistion.

Hephaistion couldn't breathe for so long; he thought every vein was going to burst inside of his body. His hands grasped Alexander's shoulders as Alexander continued to pleasure him. Hephaistion shuddered and then that was it. Alexander got back up from his knees,

"Never say I don't do things for you" he muttered, wiping his mouth. He then sauntered off alone in the dark, leaving Hephaistion gasping for air to clean himself up and find his own way home.
