Hephaestion turned over in the huge bed and was aghast at how far he was from Alexander. It felt like he was half a world away across the gulf of three feet. He hitched himself over, the blankets bunching up between them.

When he was at Alexander’s side, he smoothed out the yards of cloth until he could feel Alexander’s skin next to his own. Alexander slept on his belly tonight, not a common thing but a pleasing one. Hephaestion skimmed his hands over Alexander’s skin, lightly, not wanting to wake him.

He tucked his fingers under Alexander’s hipbone, fascinated by the intersection of the plane of Alexander’s muscle and the pads of his fingertips. He moaned involuntarily and bit his lip to keep from making more noise.

He slipped his hand further under Alexander’s hip and Alexander started to move, bringing his knee up, unconscious lust giving Hephaestion permission to explore further, deeper.

Hephaestion smiled and pulled himself on top of Alexander, feeling their skin connect in familiar places like thighs and hips and arms. He pressed himself into Alexander, curling over him, pushing against the soft places.

Alexander made soft noises into his pillow and Hephaestion pushed harder.
