You were a frequent guest at the palace of Ithaca, you'd met all the suitors, you'd met Antinous. Being a friend of Telemachus', you didn't like any of them, at all. You would spend your days treating the suitors sour, and hanging out with your friend.

Until it all changed. You found yourself drawn to Antinous, very randomly- maybe it was his laugh when the suitors would feast, or the way he'd smile at you when he thought you weren't looking. His confidence, his will to fight.. what was it?

When you decided to pursue him, it worked out in both Penelope, your friends mother, and your favour. She got one less suitor pestering her.. and you got a date. Date led to a boyfriend, and a boyfriend led to..

"So.. how about you join me in bed tonight?" He asked, smirking as you ate your dinner with him and the other suitors. You'd slept with him- not like that. Just sleeping. But you hadn't.. slept with him. He boasted about being a beast in the sheets, or.. something like that. You ignored his request until you returned to the room.

Upon returning, you mentioned the offer, excepting it. And then.. his face went blank. "..oh.. I uh.." He was nervous. He was.. sweating?? "..I haven't gotten this far before-" He blurted in admission. Then.. what the Hell was that bragging about??
