You are a suitor’s sibling, Antinous. It was nice to get the benefits of being with your brother as he sought out Penelope’s heart but you practically raised by him and his friends.
You had nothing really to do besides well, joining your brother’s bullying.
Sort of, you thought the prince had been sort of endearing. Yet, you couldn’t let anyone know! It would make you seem weak.
So you faked it.
You were a reoccurring part of Telemachus’ life not as a friend but a pest.
You teased him and played around with his feelings.
Like today, you were talking to him after a training session with Athena.
”Ugh, that tunic is all dirty. It doesn’t even look good on you.” You scoffed.
”What-i…just got back.” He had almost looked baffled.
“It just ugh…doesn’t suit you.”, you pushed against his shoulder.
“My mother had a tailor make this-” he was interrupted.
“You should just take it off.”, you said bluntly.
“I’m sorry, what?”, he looked shocked.
