Do you ever think of Achilles and Patroclus helping each other with their armour every single day, going through that same ritual each morning....... fitting their breastplates and tenderly tightening those leather straps, handing each other their helmets and their spears before leaning in for a last kiss before the battle.....up until the very last time Achilles helped Patroclus don his own armour before facing the Trojans...... but then who helped Achilles with his armour after Patroclus was gone

#patrochilles #achilles #patroclus #whoever it was it can't have been the same i'll tell you that #thinking of achilles taking the new arms thetis brought him and just staring at the pieces like.... patroclus used to help me with those...#and not wanting anyone else to do it #and then it's agony all over again #yeah #it's sad patchilles hours in this house #tagamemnon #the iliad
