Chimeras

Tags: Just silly, fluffy fluff; Castorice & Mydei (platonically); set very shortly after Mydei first joined the Chrysos Heirs

Word count: 1.2k

Notes: I recently discovered the 3.0 livestream chimera animation by Mydei and I've been obsessed with it ever since... I like to think it was Cas who inspired him to start drawing himself and his friends as chimeras like that 🥹 Also in my mind this is how their friendship first started

Castorice is hunched over at a desk, sighing. She never would have agreed to help lady Aglaea with paperwork if she had known just how boring it would be.

She keeps shifting in her seat, as if that's going to make the papers in front of her any more interesting, but it's not helping.

Her thoughts constantly slip away elsewhere and she absentmindedly starts scribbling into her notebook. Making adjustments to her recent design of her very own chimera-sona seems much more entertaining than boring paperwork right now. Maybe she’ll draw for just a little bit to refocus and then she can return to-

"What's this?" A deep voice behind her suddenly asks. Castorice jumps, turning around only to find Mydei standing behind her, glancing over her shoulder. The newest addition to the Chrysos Heirs seems to have a talent for appearing out of nowhere when she least expects it.

She quickly scrambles to try and cover the drawing with her arms, but stops when he gives her a questioning look. She sighs. It's too late, he's already seen it. This is bad.

"Lord Mydei, you startled me," she laughs nervously. "I didn't expect you here. You really snuck up on me."

Mydei tilts his head and gives her a confused look. "I knocked and announced myself when I entered. Are there any Okhema customs for entering a room I don't know about?"

Castorice's face falls a little.

“No, no, you're fine… It seems I just didn't notice. My apologies.”

She was so engulfed in her scribbles that she didn't even hear him. She really shouldn't be slacking off with her work like this, lest she'll get in trouble.

Luckily, Mydei seems much more interested in her drawings than the fact she clearly should be doing paperwork instead.

"This looks cute," he notes, pointing at the drawing peeking out from underneath Castorice's arm. "What is it?"

She sighs in defeat. There's no use in trying to hide it from him, so she removes her arm, letting him view the full page. "It's a chimera," she explains.

Mydei inspects the drawing, slowly nodding. "Is it one from around here? I don't believe I have ever seen that fur pattern before..." He seems to be mentally going through all the chimeras he's met. She'll have no choice but to explain it to him now, otherwise he might actually go looking for the mysterious chimera that looks like this.

Castorice clears her throat and tries to avert her eyes. "It's not one of the chimeras around here," she says, before very quietly adding "It's actually... My chimera-sona." She feels the heat rise into her cheeks. She wants to sink into the ground immediately.

Mydei blinks at her a few times. "What's that?"

There's only few conversation topics more embarrassing than explaining what a chimera-sona is to someone else... But Castorice has brought this upon herself.

"It's when you imagine yourself... As a chimera," she explains. "This... This one is supposed to be me." She's met with silence. Oh, this is horrible. This is one of the first interactions she has with Mydei in private and she can already feel herself messing up.

"I know, it's quite silly-"

"That is brilliant," Mydei cuts in. He glances between the paper and Castorice, his eyes widening. "Its fur has your hair colour!" He seems amazed at the realization. "It really does look like you!"

Castorice let's out an awkward chuckle. "That's very nice of you to say-"

Mydei pulls over a chair and sits down across from her, leaning in just a little to talk to her. "Could you show me how to make my own?"

Castorice looks at him in astonishment. He must be joking, right?

Although, judging by their past interactions, Mydei doesn't seem like the type to make jokes like that. He's usually very direct with what he's saying, not really one for sarcasm.

That makes her feel a little better. At least that means he genuinely likes it, then. Maybe this whole situation isn't as bad as she first thought.

"Well," she says, quickly flipping through her sketchbook until she finds the correct page. "I actually... Tried to draw all of you as chimeras already." She pushes her sketchbook over to him. She usually never lets anyone else look at it, but in this case, it should be okay. Mydei doesn't appear to have any bad intentions.

He takes it and looks at the drawing with amazement. "They really look like everyone... Aglaea with golden horns, Tribbie with a flower..." He lets out a small chuckle. "And that one is clearly the deliverer." He points at the chimera Castorice drew for Phainon with an amused twinkle in his eyes, smiling at it for a few moments before moving on.

"And that one must be me!" He closely inspects the small orange chimera. Castorice hadn't been too sure what to do with Mydei's chimera design yet, so she wasn't sure if he'd be distinguished enough. She had planned to get to know him a little better first before expanding on his design. But judging by the look of amazement on Mydei's face, the design seems to be good enough already.

There's a small smile on his face. "Cute."

Castorice feels an instant sense of relief. "So you like it?"

He looks back up at her. "It looks adorable."

He hesitates for a moment, before adding "Could you teach me how to draw these myself?"

Castorice can't recall ever having seen Mydei show this much enthusiasm about something outside of sparring. She didn't think he'd enjoy something like this at all… But maybe this can serve as a good bonding moment.

She smiles. "Of course, just grab a pen and I'll show you step by step."

He quickly takes one of the nearby pencils and eagerly looks at Castorice, awaiting her instructions.

He seems so excited, Castorice can't help but let out a small giggle.

Mydei gives her a questioning look.

She laughs. "I'm so sorry, lord Mydei... I didn't mean to laugh at you, I just think it's very sweet how excited you are about this. I never expected you to be the type to care about something cute and silly like a chimera-sona."

It's Mydei's turn to be embarrassed now, a tint of red immediately blooming across his cheeks. He clears his throat.

"I just think they look nice... And the chimeras are very cute… I like the idea of imagining what we would look like if we were one of them."

Castorice chuckles. "I know, I understand. It's not a bad thing, really. I just wasn't expecting it, but I think it's great. And I'll be more than happy to teach you.”

To Castorice's surprise, Mydei is quite talented at drawing. He's able to draw not only his, but everyone's chimera-sonas in no time.

“These look amazing, lord Mydei,” she says, taking in all his little scribbles.  “You're really great at this.”

She points at a particularly expressionate version of Tribbie that immediately catches her eye. “This one looks just like lady Tribbie. You captured her perfectly.” She laughs.

Mydei lets out a low chuckle along with her. “This is really fun,” he finally says with a small smile. “Thank you for teaching me.”

Castorice smiles back. “Thank you for allowing me to witness this side of you. I'll gladly draw with you whenever you like.”

Finally got a proper blog theme again, I'm so happy... I wanted to make something for every Amphoreus member and I'm pretty satisfied with it now 🥹

[phaideis-chimeras]

Changed my username to something phaidei themed... Sorry Sundays-wings, you will be missed 😔✌️

[phaideis-chimeras]

3.4? Angst? Naaaah, I only know fluff! So here, have a bit of of phaidei fluff to soothe the soul and forget about the pain.

--------

“After this is over, we should get married.”

Phainon never meant to say that out loud. The thought slipped out, just like that.

But now, the words are hanging in the air, met by… Silence.

After a few moments, Mydei props himself up from where he was lying on Phainon’s chest. He gives him a questioning look.

“You want to marry me?”

Phainon shrugs, suddenly feeling self-conscious. Maybe it was stupid to say that out loud. But he just can't let the idea go. It's the one wish he has for the future… That can't be stupid, right?

“I just want to spend the rest of my life with you.” He reaches out to cup Mydei's cheek. “I want to wake up next to you every day like this.” Mydei leans into his touch and closes his eyes, gently humming.

“You already do that, silly.” He slightly turns his head to kiss the palm of Phainon's hand.

“But if marriage is what you want, then I will happily agree.”

Phainon tilts his head a little. He looks at Mydei, trying to determine what he's thinking. “If marriage isn't for you… We can just keep living like this, of course.” He lets out a small, nervous chuckle, hoping it doesn't sound too disappointed. “I'll be happy as long as I can live my life by your side, really.”

Mydei contemplates for a bit. He shrugs.

“I never really thought about it before. I have you with me every day already. And I know that I love you and you love me. I don't need a special ceremony for that.” He leans in and kisses Phainon's nose, pressing their forehead’s against each other. He smiles down at Phainon, his expression full of love. “But the more I think about it, the more I like the idea. Phainon, my husband… It sounds good, doesn't it?”

Just hearing the words come from Mydei's mouth makes Phainon's heart skip a beat. Mydei's husband. He's giddy just thinking about it.

He smiles and runs a hand through Mydei's hair. “See? I knew you’d get the appeal.” He chuckles and kisses Mydei's cheek. “It's settled then. When the Flame Chase is over, we're getting married.”

Mydei looks at him, a gentle smile on his lips. “Why wait for that long? We could go to Aglaea tomorrow and ask her to officiate for us… Ask the others to join if you want. I don't need a big ceremony. You are the only person I need with me.”

Phainon can't help but laugh. It's rare to hear Mydei speak with so much excitement. His calm, somewhat reserved demeanor seems to have melted away.

“For someone who didn't even think about marriage just a few minutes ago, you're quite eager to get it done immediately.”

Mydei blushes a little and pouts. “You are the one who put the idea into my head, now you're mocking me?” He huffs.

Phainon lets out a hearty laugh. He wraps his arms around Mydei to pull him into a hug, repeatedly kissing his cheek.

“I'm not mocking you, Mydei. I'm happy you like the idea that much… And of course, I'd love to get married to you immediately.”

Mydei huffs and buries his face into Phainon's neck. “Good,” he grumbles.

Phainon chuckles and ruffles his hair.

His laughter dies a little and he solemly looks up at the ceiling.

“You know, I said that earlier because I was thinking about things to look forward to. Something to keep fighting for.” He let's out a small sigh.

“So what will I look forward to?”

Mydei looks up at him and scoffs as if the answer is obvious. “Your life with me, of course.” He pulls Phainon into a kiss and holds him close. Phainon rests his head against Mydei's chest.

“I will make sure every single day is something you can look forward to.” He can feel Mydei's hand gently stroke his hair.

Phainon smiles and closes his eyes. “I know you will. You always do. You are the future worth fighting for. And I swear I will fight for you.”
