I think half the motivation Mydei and Phainon have for competing is not about the competition itself, it's about impressing each other. There IS a part of their motivation that is all about the fun and thrill and arrogance and the connection through play.

But another big part is... Flirting. They are just... Peacocking. Making a little mating dance.

And I don't think they are fully aware of that.

It's trying to show off and be like "see? I'm great! Look at me! Keep your eyes on me and my impressive acts!"

It's like when a kid does a silly dance trying to impress you; a cat bringing you a dead bird, but instead they are showing off the titankin heads they chopped.

"oh? You can do that thing? Well see me do this other thing! See? I'm amazing!"

It's half about their own pride, half a hetero guy flexing on Instagram trying to get bitches but all he gets is compliments from his bros. Except the bitches they are trying to get is their bro so it works.

They see the other achieve a great feat and they are half like "oh, he's so hot" half "I must outperform him" half (it's the invisible 3rd half) "now it's my chance to show how I'm a great romantic prospect".

And the competition in question is... Who can stay in the hot baths longer. If they are naked there they will NOT address it.

Really, they are lucky to be gay, I don't think these methods would work on a woman. Or at least any women they know. Maybe Stelle.

Cutey cutey romantic moment because I need the serotonin. And a hands insert shot because I apparently hate myself.

‘Laboratory grown yaoi’ guys I need you to sit down with me and understand that Mydei and Phainon’s dynamic is based on Gilgamesh and Enkidu and people have been writing yaoi about those two for centuries. Yes, Achilles and Patroclus are also based on them.

You are not being seduced by laboratory grown yaoi — you are being seduced by all natural- eco- bio- human created yaoi that people have been insane about for thousands of years and it has spawned countless of stories with similar dynamics. One of the Vox Leos straight up tells a story of a Lion that has met his match in an Oryx, who have clashed in a battle and have battled for thousands of years, referencing both the Giglamesh and Enkidu fighting before a maiden’s chamber, and Phainon and Mydei fighting for ten days when they first met, PLUS the constant competitions we see them in. ‘I made it your equal. Like a wife you will love it,’

My dudes. We are getting insane about the oldest yaoi in the book calm down. Not the first time, not the last time.
