Cleitus was attentive that night. He was carefully watching the scene in front of him. Rewarded, he thought he had seen it all, at least what went through Hephaistion’s mind. Cleitus did not miss a sign of pain surfaced for a moment on the perfect face of younger man. Although Hephaistion was standing stoically as usual, his blue eyes were fixed on Alexander and a Persian eunuch with boiling bitterness.

Even from this far, Cleitus could see that the king was heavily drunk, and sensed that every king’s movement toward the boy was fruits of seeping lust. When the king smiled ecstatically against boy’s silky black long hair, Hephaistion pivoted, and swiftly left the banquet hall.

The mask Hephaistion put on was almost perfect, but Cleitus caught a faint twitch crossed over the thin skin under his eyes as he passed him. Quietly, Cleitus followed him. When Hephaistion was out of the hall, and nobody was around, his posture sulked, and he put his hand on the column to support himself.

Cleitus approached him from behind, and slipped his arms around younger man’s narrow waist. Hephaistion tried to escape at first, but when Cleitus pulled him closer against his chest, Hephaistion’s body relaxed, and leaned heavily against the older man as if he was utterly defeated.

Cleitus turned him around in his arms, and kissed his lips passionately. It tasted of the mixture of sweet wine and salty tears. He tightened the hold around Hephaistion’s torso, and pressed the younger man even harder to him by squeezing his another hand on Hephaistion’s perfectly round bottom. Cleitus swallowed the other man’s moan in his mouth with delight.

Then, a strong hand gripped his shoulder, and Alexander’s warm breath whispered into Cleitus’ ear.

“Thank you Cleitus. I will take it from here.
