Patroclus and Achilles versus the world.

" my patroclus. " First grade, that's when it all started. When the boy with the ridiculous name and messy, blond hair ran into another boy with a ridiculous name and tanned, ebony skin. They grew jointed at the hip, one was only seen with the other. Achilles loved running, he loved telling everyone about his day; Patroclus loved the way the stars looked at night, he loved laughing at Achilles' jokes. And both of them eventually grew into teenagers who learned how to lose and how to smile brighter than the sun. Achilles has kissed far too many people and Patroclus has learned about each and every one of them. Patroclus lays in his bed, talking about the future, and Achilles listens to every word. And one day, Achilles learns that he only needs to kiss one person. One day, Patroclus knows something certain about his future. / / a work based off of the iliad's achilles & patroclus, but no knowledge about any of the characters or plot is needed to read and/or understand it / /

Patroclus had followed Achilles to Troy, but not like so many thought because of his Oath as a suitor of the kidnapped Helen. His motives unclear even to his closest friend Achilles, he steered 10 ships towards Troy- and following his friend and love. Emotions running high in the camp as they lay siege on Troy, Patroclus takes risks and hot-headed Achilles is left to wonder- and wonder as Patroclus follows his heart for what seems like the first time in his life.
