Hephaistion stood facing the closed flap of the tent.

This had been the third time, in the space of a couple of days that Alexander had gone off in a huff over the littlest of things and shut himself away and refused to see, Hephaistion included anyone and refused to come out.

Hephaistion was worried, he sighed as he tried the flap and found it to be open.

The tent was dim lit by half burnout candles, Hephaistion tripped over something he looked down and found it to be a chair. He looked around and found the well kept space in ruins and sat in the centre of the mess was Alexander arms and legs folded.

He never said anything as Hephaistion came closer and crouched down in front of him; Hephaistion opened his hand and dangled the gift in front of his lover.

At first Alexander refused to look at the sweet honey cake that was being dangled in front of him.

It wasn't till Hephaistion being to move it from side to side that he noticed and began to follow it with his eyes.

He watched it for a while before trying to make a grab for it, but Hephaistion was quicker and pulled it away.

Hephaistion smirked at him and held it out to him again only to pull it away when he reached for it.

Alexander gave up and looked away, pouting and trying to keep a straight face.

He could see Hephaistion out the corner of his eye and waited for him to hold out the cake.

But Hephaistion had other ideas; in his preferable vision Alexander could see Hephaistion slip off one shoulder of his robe and run the cake up and down his arm and chest teasing himself.

Alexander started in awe as Hephaistion shrugged the other shoulder off and began to do the same on the other side.

He crawled forward and sat up on his knees so that he was level with Hephaistion, only a few inches shorter. He caught Hephaistion's wondering hand by the wrist and stopped him. Hephaistion tried to pull his wrist away but Alexander squeezed till he finally gave up his prize.

He brought the finally caught cake to his lips and bit into it so that he lightly bit Hephaistion's fingers as well.

Once the cake had gone, Alexander wrapped his arm around Hephaistion's waist and pulled him close.

He bowed his head to Hephaistion's shoulder and flicked out his tongue causing Hephaistion to sigh softly.

Alexander followed the path that Hephaistion had made licking and biting away anything that had been left behind while Hephaistion sighed and tangled his fingers in his hair.

When he had finished Alexander looked up at Hephaistion and licked his own lips.

"Yummy," he said.
