Summary
Mydei scoffs. "Only you could sound so excited about math tutoring. I can practically see your tail wagging." The corners of his lips quirk up in amusement. "Like an overeager little puppy about to go for its first walk."
Phainon's brain stalls, his eyes widening. For reasons he will likely need to unpack very soon, his heart has started kicking up a real fuss in his chest. Distantly, he wonders if he might be dying.
It's not the first time he's been compared to a puppy or a dog—far from it, in fact. Heck, even his family had lovingly referred to him and his childhood dog as Big Snowy and Little Snowy, respectively. And he'd been perfectly normal about it every time.
Until now, apparently.
Phainon speedruns self-discovery, public humiliation, and getting together with his long-time academic rival and crush.

Summary
“Eurypon has a son. His sole heir.” The way the words dragged on Lygus’s tongue made Phainon’s skin crawl. “I’m sure you’re aware of how strong an emotion like grief can be."
”I’ll contact you when it’s done.”
┈┈・୨ ❈ ୧・┈┈
After nearly two decades of flawless service as an assassin, Phainon believed he was prepared for every possible outcome.
Unfortunately, Mydei had no plans to make things easy for him.Bookmarked by arlv

"What's wrong, Phai? You don't feel better?"
"It's not that," Phainon answered, pressing a kiss to Mydei's hair. "I think I need some encouragement."

Summary
Mydei is about to close the video when Phainon speaks up after being silent for a while:
"I can guarantee that you're all going to enjoy Amphorean Chronicles as much as I do! I can't believe so many of you guys don't know the game, but I'll make sure you get the full grasp of it. Nobody beats me when it comes to it, after all," he says, winking to the camera.
His viewers just leave appreciative comments saying how cute it is for him to be so passionate about the game and encouraging him as a pro, but Mydei's eye has the urge to twitch.
Ah. He can't let this slide now, can he?
Alternatively: Phainon is a popular streamer. Mydei enjoys video games. Castorice accidentally plays wingwoman by introducing them.

All I wanted was the world by SleeplessAndObsessed

Summary
“I’ll tell you,” Mydei concedes, but there’s a growing, playful part of him who wants to make Phainon struggle more, until Mydei has to face his entire anger and possessiveness and shatter against it in a million pieces. “But only if you do something for me first."
He expects Phainon to fight him on this. It’s how it’s always been between them: they bicker until one of them gives up, and then makes the other fight twice as hard next time. It’s an Alpha thing, petty and annoying and instinctual, like looking back after someone bumped into you — but Phainon doesn’t fight. Phainon’s voice is clear and quiet, compressed in the closed space of his Sedan, and more honest than Mydei will ever be.
“Tell me," he says. "And I’ll do it.”
How simple. How frighteningly easy.
“Anything?”
“Anything.”
How sobering.
Mydei stops laughing. Mydei confesses.
