《Patroclus & Achilles (AU) (completed)》Chapter 9
Advertisement
*Patroclus POV*
"So... Do you still love her?" Achilles asks me after I finished telling him about what happened with Briseis yesterday. We were sitting on the benches of the gym, holding hands.
"Yes, I thought you knew it after all we went through it is hard not to love her, it's just sad we ended up like that... It hurts but..." His grip got a bit tighter and I smiled at him "It kind of dissapears whenever I'm with you, it's really weird to experience things like this with a guy."
"It's normal, you know? The feelings I have for you are real... I get you still love her and I won't make you give me a chance but..."
"You don't have to, I'm giving you a chance because I have feelings for you too. Yeah, I didn't meant for it to happen but it feels good." I put my hand on his shoulder and he kissed the top of my head.
We stayed like this until the bell ring, we didn't need to talk. We were fine just being with each other and that's part of the attraction he has, he makes people feel comfortable around him. He makes me feel comfortable around him.
"Briseis. Hello." I say when I see her next to my locker. After the gym Achilles and I went apart.
"Hi." She says nervously.
"Um... What brings you here?" I open my locker and retreat the books that I need.
"I don't know, I wanted to talk to you."
"About what?"
"I won't give up, I should but I won't." I star at her and somehow I laugh.
"You should." I say and close my locker.
"Achilles." I say with a smile, when I sat next to him at our next class.
"Hey."
"Let's go on a date. Tonight." I decided this after the talk with Briseis. I still love her, I know that, but I like Achilles and I want to be with him. I don't want to be with Briseis, not because I think she's a bitch or something like that, in fact, I think that it would be hypocritical from me to think that as I developed feelings for Achilles while I was with her but because even if I forgive her for what she did to me, I will never be able to forget about it.

"Really?" I nod. "Well, then of course. Where do you want to go?"
"I don't know but... I want to go out with you, on a date. Let's go wherever you want." I say.
"I'll pick you, I know where to take you." He says and the teacher enters the room and the class starts.
Around 7 o'clock, Achilles comes and picks me up. He didn't tell me where he is taking me so I decided for a pair of black jeans and red t-shirt.
"You look great." He says when he saw me. He does too, he is wearing a pair of jeans with a white t shirt and a leather jacket.
"Where are we going?"
"You'll see." He says as we enter his car. It's weird, going on a date with someone new, but it is even weirder to go out with a same sex person. It's still weird to me sometimes, the idea that I like a boy. "Thank you." He says after a while.
"For what?"
"For asking me on a date. It shows you actually want something with me, more than hook up." He tries to joke about it by making the hook up joke but I know he's serious.
"Oh..." I don't know what to say, and somehow I end up saying what is probably the dumbest thing to say. "You're welcome."
When we get to the park, he stops. Is this his idea of a date? I still don't know what he wants to do more than coming to the park.
He gets out of the car and I do the same. From the back he gives me a blanket and he takes a picnic basket.
"A picnic?" I ask
"Nothing more romantic that seeing the stars while eating some delicious food." He says and I smile.
We walk for a while until we find the perfect spot, we lay down over the blanket and we stare at the sky; he was right, this is as romantic as it gets.

We talk a lot, about everything, and we kiss too. I feel happy, and I think he feels happy too.
I get home past midnight and he takes me to the door. It feels weird, as if I'm a girl but I try not to think about that as he kisses me against the door.
"See you later." He says with a smile. "Oh, and would you go out with me tomorrow?" I nod.
The next day comes and with it another day, I choose the place this time. We go to my special place, and just like last night we have a great time.
And just like that time starts passing by, and with it more dates. We go out at least once a week and we spend tons of time together. Achilles is popular, it's not that people don't like but I'm just not as popular as he is, so at school we only see each other from time to time.
And somehow, my feelings for him starts growing and my happiness too. Nothing can take that away from us, I think Briseis realized that too because after trying for about a month to come back with me, she gives up. We still talk though, not like before but we develop some kind of friendship.
And then on a friday night, we make things official. I ask Patroclus to be my boyfriend and he accepts.
We make things official at school, too. We hold hands when we're together and we kiss. Girls get jealous, mostly because I'm dating him but Achilles says there are plenty of girls who are jealous of him because 'he has that cute boy with the brown hair'.
And the prom night is about to come and I realize this: I love Achilles, I love him more than I thought I could. And I want to scream it to the world, I want to tell him I love him, but I'm too afraid to do so.
"I love you." I bluirt out on prom night, just when the last song is playing.
"I love you too." He says and he kisses my cheek. "Sorry, I didn't say it first. I was afraid I would freak you out. I still worry about you loving Briseis."
"Well, I don't anymore. I was also afraid but I'm glad I said it. I love you."
A/N: Well, here it is. The last chapter. I didn't want to make this a long story, when I first started writing this I was inspired by The Song of Achilles; I loved that book.
I started this story knowing that it would be a short one, because I'm tired of those stories where there are so many problems, I like thinking that there are some couples who have it easy, couples that don't have the whole 'love triangle' situation as many books do (I love those kind of books btw) but I just wanted Patroclus and Achilles to have a simple and cute love story, it's cute for me at least; but overall I wanted Patroclus and Achilles to have a happy ending.

Path of Defiance: Isekai Cultivation
CURRENTLY ON HIATUS High-school senior Rowan doesn’t have a bright future ahead of him. He has no plans, his grades are average and he isn’t exceptional at sports. When faced with the choice to fade into obscurity as a mindless drone in corporate hell or try his luck in a world where mere mortals can battle gods, his choice is clear. Little did he expect that he’d be thrown into an alternate world very much like his old one where everyone he knows is present, but their roles and personalities twisted to fit the cruel world they now reside in. The worst part is, his bully can and will kill him for the slightest offense and Rowan happens to have picked a fight with him. The story is set in a Xuanhuan-based world (basically Xianxia, but extended to include Western concepts). This story is also posted on Neovel. Cover Art from Asviloka's Free Cover thread.

Binary of Life and Death
Monsters, gold, chaos, glory, adventure, what more could attract two of the greatest players of all time to Sugarea, the most popular MMORPG of its time. But everyone makes errors, and unfortunate for these two brilliant players, they have made the grave mistake of not actually sleeping like normal humans and missed out on the very moment the new Dark Legion update would take effect. Or did they? They wake in what seems familiar yet not, but they soon realize their predicament. They are inside their game avatar's bodies! A half-Demon and a Dragonoid are now struggling with more than just power, these two men have to find their new purpose and calling in a completely different world. Will they concur it like ordinary land or will they enlighten the planet into equality? Do figures pull strings in the dark or is everything open to the public eye? Nothing is certain except the unknown, and nothing is ever as it seems... This is an Isekai story, as such, some parts may sound either cliché or similar to others, but I assure you, I tried to prevent that. To make it known, I took quite a lot of inspiration from the light novel/anime Overlord, but that doesn't mean it's a direct rip-off of it. You'll find there to be quite the amount of differences. Just a little heads up as well, you should expect irregular uploads, as it takes me a long time to write each chapter. I am currently trying for once every other week on Sundays around 10:00 A.M. Chapters are usually 7k words and up, with the longest (chapter 3) being 10.3k words. So, if you like to sit down and read a long chapter every two weeks at 10:00 A.M. EST on Sundays, then you can waste your time here! Small disclaimer: Profanity is far and few between, and mostly used by side characters, rarely the main character. When something with gore happens, I describe to the best of my ability, which will only get better the longer I write this... :) Small cuts between perspectives happen, and can hide what some characters do, which will be revealed in future chapters, I'm not that lazy... all the time... There are some parts that are long blocks of text, most, if not all, of them, are characters talking, but I try not to info dump. I know one of the tags says "Psychological", and for the most part, it is, but it's not as prominent as other stories, instead, it's more hidden and scattered, but I did try to make the pieces I did reveal all fit together. Cover art is bound to be changed when I have a good picture to use, so the Yin-Yang is a placeholder for now unless yall wanna gimme something to use *wink wink nudge nudge*. So yeah, please give it a try, as I have nothing better to do with my life, and I am banking solely off of a career in literature and am hoping that I can create a story that can actually be called something more than a child's imagination running wild. The eventual and inevitable end to the story won't be for a long while, at least till chapter 40 or so. I have thought long and hard about the message and themes at play, so I hope you, the reader (who has some amazing hair btw), can enjoy and partake on this adventure with me into my dark empty pit of an imagination.
