Cleitus got up the second the sky started to change and grabbed two apples before taking off to the training grounds. He didn't know what 'at sunrise' meant and, too proud to ask, he preferred being there too early than too late. It took a good hour in which he first sat there and then started stretching his body and the first young man arrived. Seeing the whelp who had humiliated Antigonus pushing his body off the ground and back down, Parmenion made a bee-line to join him “Good morning Cleitus, joy to you”

Jumping up and staring at Parmenion, Cleitus nodded politely “Good morning...”. Not knowing who he had standing in front of him he bit his lip. Parmenion took pity and introduced himself “I am Parmenion...”

“I will remember...”

“I am sure you will... Want to join me for a little swim? We usually start with swimming and then have breakfast together”

“I want to wait for Philip and Antigonus...”, Cleitus had seen the way Parmenion had eyed him the day before, and even now, he was leering and undressing him with his eyes and it started to unnerve the young boy “I will join you as soon as they get here”

“And stay here alone... Come on, they will understand”

“I don't mind being alone...”, getting into a defensive stance Cleitus growled lowly “And I would like for you to leave me alone now”

“You heard the boy Parmenion”

Two sets of eyes came resting on Antigonus and Parmenion lifted his hands “Good morning to you Antigonus, I was only getting acquainted with the boy”

Antigonus' gaze told him he should take off, but since he didn't seem to want to move he had to voice it, his tone cold “Now that you did, you can take yourself down to the sea. We will follow shortly”

Not wanting to get into his bad graces, and in Philip's for that matter, he resigned to letting go for now “We will talk later”

As he disappeared from their view, Cleitus mumbled “I don't think so” and turned to Antigonus “Thank you...”

“You are most welcome you little brat...”

“Who is he?”

“An idiot... And should he bother you in any way, I want you to inform me or Philip... Understood?”

Cleitus shook his head and chuckled “I can beat him too...”

Knowing Parmenion and his disgusting tastes he tried to change his mind, hoping the boy would listen “No... You tell us and we take care of the problem...”

“But I...”, Antigonus interrupted him “No Cleitus...”, sitting down he motioned for him to get down next to him “You should concentrate on coping being with us, not worrying about how to keep some perverts off your back”

“I can cope...”, Cleitus blinked innocently “And why is he a pervert?”

Not wanting to have to go into a detailed explanation of Parmenion's sick sexual preferences he shook his head “Forget the pervert... Giving me a hard time when we wrestle doesn't mean you will in other disciplines...”

“But I can...”

“We will see... Amaze me...”

Cleitus vowed to himself that he would show Antigonus how good he already was “I will...”

“Good... Let's join the others at the shore...”

“Why is he a pervert?”

Antigonus laughed, the boy really was a number “Well, let's say that Parmenion likes his lovers young”

“Lovers? As in...”, it dawned to Cleitus what the older boy meant and he frowned, disgusted, and made some gagging sounds “No, I don't want him to do such things to me”

Antigonus got up and smiled “That is why I told you to immediately inform me or Philip should he touch you” before he pulled him up and pushed him towards the shore “And now, let's go swim, you seem to like the water”

“Will you carry me?”

“Carry yourself brat”

Down at the shore Philip had heard Parmenion make a comment about Cleitus' ass and what he would do to him, or rather the ass, and immediately intervened “Stop talking about him that way, he is not a cheap whore you can bed”. He slapped Parmenion's neck and whispered “You leave him alone, he is mine, and should you bother him in any way, you will answer to me... And to my father... Not to forget his...”

“He's yours... My, I hope you'll enjoy him, he surely is a cutie”

“I won't enjoy him in any way you idiot, he is six”

Parmenion shrugged his shoulders, grinning stupidly “So? I am sure he has a deliciously tight ass”

Philip shook his head disgusted but had to smile, seeing Cleitus ahead of Antigonus, still laughing at something the older boy had said and ending in front of him, he lifted him up and hugged him “Hi there little warrior”

“Good morning Philip”, pushing his elder away he beamed “How fare you?”

“Now that I see you I fare more than well”

Cleitus blushed a little, before he did as the others and undressed to jump into the water, landing giggling in their midst.

When their tutor arrived he counted the presences and cocked his head at the unknown face that was staring back at him. He had already heard of a boy who had joined the battle classes the prior day and assumed that it had to be him. “Good morning young men... And you would be the new addition to this bunch of fools”

Philip saw that Cleitus wasn't ready to answer and did it for him “Yes, that's him. Dropides' son Cleitus”

“I assume he can speak for himself Philip”, locking his eyes with Cleitus' he continued “How old are you?”

Floating in the water on his back he answered, pretty sure the tutor would have some objections to voice “I am six”

“Isn't that a little young to join us?”, and bang, Cleitus had some trouble not glaring evilly and pouty and shot “No, it isn't... And both the king and my father accept my presence here”.

The tone told the older man that there was no reasoning with the young boy, so he nodded and decided to show him the hard way “Well, we will see how you will be thinking about it after having had to swim the same distance they'll have to”

“I'm not afraid of that”

“Good... To the other side and back... All of you...”

Getting to the other side was still okay for the boy and quite amusing, but after half of the way back he started panting a bit too much for Philip's taste who had been swimming next to him “Are you alright Cleitus”

Nodding weakly Cleitus inhaled deeply and continued without flinching even though his legs and arms started getting really heavy and he had gotten slower.

“We will be on the shore rapidly, it isn't far anymore”

He made it, but immediately fell on his hands and his knees when he was out of the water and panted heavily. The tutor was impressed that he hadn't drowned and had made it, even though he hadn't been as fast as the others he had proven himself to the man. He still played him a little and patted his head when he didn't get up and continued inhaling and exhaling deeply “I told you...”

Cleitus lifted his head and panted “And I showed you I could do it...”

“Yes, but now you have no energy left for the rest of the day”

“I have...”, he got up and shook his legs which were a little wobbly and glared at the hill that still lay between him and breakfast. Sighing he put his chiton back on and followed the others, happy when Antigonus and Philip grabbed his hands and pulled him up the hill and then towards the food that had been installed in the shades. He dropped down and stretched his legs, massaging his calves who were painfully throbbing with what would become the biggest muscle ache he had ever experienced. Philip watched him and felt with him, he could still remember his first crossings of the harbour and the state his body was in for the following days. He handed Cleitus a cup with what smelled like juice and was downed eagerly in two huge gulps making the older boy laugh “Wow, easy now, your body needs to adjust to the effort you just did”

“I am okay”

“Yeah I know, but you should listen to your body”

“I did, it told me it was thirsty”

Antigonus burst out into a laughing fit, laying next to the two and finding their exchange most entertaining, Cleitus' answers and attitude were refreshing. Parmenion on the other hand couldn't take his eyes off of Cleitus' legs and extended one hand to help him massaging the offending leg. That was without counting on Philip's reactivity. He stretched over Cleitus and grabbed Parmenion's wrist hard with his hand “Don't touch him, understood”

“My, I just wanted to be helpful”

“Be helpful elsewhere”

Luckily for Cleitus, the rest of the day they had weapons tutorial and tactics training and especially that last class was a relief for his muscles since they only sat there and listened.

Cleitus arrived home and sat down with his family to have dinner, completely exhausted and drained but beaming. His father chuckled as he ruffled through his hair “How was your day my son?”

“Amazing...”, the young boy moaned as he served himself “And very, very exhausting. I had to swim across the harbour with the others”

Dropides was a little astonished that his son seemed to have succeeded, or else he would have been home earlier. But his son's constant yawning and rubbing his eyes was making him a bit unsure if having him train with the twice as old ones, was a very good idea. And he wondered if Cleitus wanted to continue exhausting himself to this point, and that every day. He had to give him the chance to bail out of this commitment before it was too late and asked “You give up?”

Cleitus looked at him as if he had lost his mind and pouted “Noooooo...”, but upon seeing his father's disapproving glance he quickly added “I will join them again tomorrow morning father, I won't quit”

“Good...”

The second he was done eating, he excused himself and fell face first on top of his bed, asleep the moment he touched the furs. His father stopped by his room an hour later and grinned when he saw him dressed, on top of the furs. He entered and gently undressed him before pulling a fur over him and stroking the dark locks “Sweet dreams son”

***** ** * ** *****

The next morning, every single muscle in his body hurt and he winced as he got up, very slowly and started stretching to lose up a bit. His legs were definitely not agreeing with moving but he forced himself and plopped down next to his parents and his sister, yawning.

“Good morning son”

“Good morning father...”, giving his mother a large smile and a kiss on the cheek “Mother...”, and his sister a slap on the head “Annoying female...”

“Cleitus...”

Cleitus had the grace to look sorry “Sorry”

“How are you feeling?”

“Good...”

His father read straight through the lie and shook his head “That why you needed this long to come downstairs?”

“My legs ache a bit, but it's okay”

“Think you can swim through the harbour?”

Frowning at the thought of doing just that, Cleitus nodded “Yes” and wanted to add that he was ready for that type of education every day when a knock could be heard. Dropides smirked, already knowing who would knock at his Pella residence's door this early “Go open the door Cleitus, I am sure it is for you”

“Yes father”, Cleitus jumped up and winced a bit when his legs protested but quickly straightened himself and went to open the door. He beamed when he saw Philip and Antigonus and ran back to the kitchen without a word to the two “I am out... See you at sundown”

“Have fun son”

“Will have”, and with that he jumped outside and into Philip's arms “Good morning”

“Morning brat... How are you feeling?”

“Perfect”

“Really? No aches?”

“No”

“Are you lying?”

Cleitus bit his lip and shook his head, mumbling “No”

A voice could be heard from the open window “Yes, he is”

“That's what I thought...”, Philip grinned at seeing Cleitus pout “Hey, we had the same problems at the beginning... Will become more bearable once you are used to it”

Philip turned Cleitus so he had him attached to his back and giggling “A second servant?”

“Watch it brat”

“I can walk you know”

“Suit yourself”, and with that, Philip dropped him and the only reason he didn't end with his ass on the floor was Antigonus who caught him and deposed him on his feet “Brat...”

“Like you too”

When they arrived at the small beach the tutor called Cleitus over “Good morning young Cleitus, how are you feeling”

“Good...”

“You sure you want to join today?”

“Of course...”

“I want you to only swim over to the other side...”, it was an assignment for everyone, but he was testing the young boy. He wanted to see how he would react, and react he did.

“What? No, I want to do the same as everyone...”

“You can't boy, there are things you are too young to achieve yet”

“I do... I can swim it twice, I can show you...”

He smiled and the nodded “You can show me another day Cleitus, you will all only swim over there, and then meet your riding tutor for riding classes”

“Oh...”

“Yes, but I welcome your enthusiasm and determination, seems you will work hard and who knows, maybe you will succeed”

Cleitus blushed a little and felt silly for having thought the man was thinking of him as merely a little boy and whispered “Thank you”, before heading off and joining the others.

Cleitus dived the last meters and emerged just before Antigonus, turning himself on his back and floating in front of him, smirking “Ha, I beat you...”

“Brat, you didn't”

“I did”

“No”

“Oh yes... I am soooo much faster than you”

The riding instructor stood at the shore and had listened to them long enough and bellowed “Are you two idiots done acting like babies...”

Antigonus pulled Cleitus along, the boy had been startled by the roughness of the voice and was struck speechless, and motionless. He put him on his feet when they were out of the water, patting his head “It's okay, he always yells...”.

Philip joined them, grinning and whispering “Oups, he is pissed”

“Pssscht... Just don't provoke him further”

“Philip... Antigonus... And whoever that boy is... Your horses are waiting for you... Get moving...”

“Yes...”

Staring after Cleitus, who ignored him and only fuelled his anger further, he followed him, wondering what possessed the boy not to introduce himself “Who are you?”

Philip stopped next to Cleitus, very inclined on not letting the boy go through what announced itself as one hell of a raging fit, but he had something else coming “Move it prince... I need to talk to him, not you...”

“My father requests I watch him”

“Watch him from afar...”, turning his attention back to Cleitus he addressed him “Who are you?”

“Cleitus... Son of Dropides...”

“Care to enlighten me why you are allowed to be with them?”

Cleitus pondered the question a moment, before beaming “Because I am good...”

It wasn't exactly the answer he had been expecting but the cocky attitude impressed him “You can ride?”

“Yes...”

“Good?”

“Better than good... My dad always says that...”

He was looking forward to see if the boy was as good as he pretended, but that didn't mean he would give him a difficult horse, for the first lesson he wanted to check his position and his movements on the horse. He had enough young men in his class who were still quite incapable of steering a horse more than a couple of paces without major drama “Let me judge your level... The white stallion is yours for today...”

“Thank you...”, Cleitus turned and just walked up to his horse, stopping before it and stroking it and then just jumping on it's back, getting acquainted with his mount.

The riding class was pretty boring to Cleitus, his horse was listening and he knew what to do, his father had made sure he knew how to ride properly the second he had been able of walking. They rode back to the arenas, a two hour ride since a couple of them had some problems staying on top of their horse on the way there. Cleitus found that fact very funny and spent his time giggling whenever someone fell down or didn't control their horses. Philip rode next to him, grinning “You find that funny ha?”

Smirking, Cleitus nodded “Oh yes...” and added after laughing at Parmenion who's horse took off full speed with the young man on it “I am better than you all...”

“You are better than many, but I am still the best”

“Not true...”

“Oh yes? Well how about a race... First to arrive at the shore wins”

The tutor was pretty fed up with the idiocies he was subjected to and agreed when Philip asked him if he could race Cleitus “Yes, but don't kill yourselves”

Antigonus stopped his horse next to theirs “I'll join you guys”

“You sure you want to lose against Cleitus again”

“When did I lose against him Philip?”

“An hour ago when he arrived at the shore before you”

“Oh come on, we weren't even racing”

Cleitus grinned “I still arrived first, and I will too now”

“We'll see...”

They took off and passed Parmenion who was laying on the floor, with his horse gone and staring after them, he shook his head and let the tutor arrive and yell. He was punished enough with having to walk the rest of the way, being told that a six-year-old did something a lot better didn't exactly brighten his mood and he made a mental note that this needed a retaliation, and a major one.

When they arrived, with Cleitus arriving second after Antigonus and Philip third, Cleitus took his horse down to the shore and into the water. Philip smirked and followed him, the others staring, as their tutor had just another rage fit “What are you waiting for? Thanks to some we took twice as long and the horses are sweaty and tired... Take them to the water for a bath idiots...”

Cleitus first made his stallion move into deeper water, then moved him back out and started drying him off. The tutor stopped next to him “Very good Cleitus, I assume your father taught you”

Pride shone from his eyes as he nodded “Yes... He takes me on rides and teaches me how to care for my horse”

“That is a good thing, at least you won't be without a horse after three days of campaign”

Cleitus smirked and felt proud that he had done well. And he wasn't the only one. When they were done and having a bite, Philip sat down next to him and hugged him “You earned your place today”

“Thank you...”

“You really ride well”

Cleitus stretched in the sun “I do many things well”

“Oh brat”, Antigonus ruffled through his hair “We are done for the day, want to learn how to shoot a bow?”

“Yes please...”

They had something to eat and then Philip and Antigonus organized everything they needed. The problem they were facing was Cleitus' size, or rather the size of the bow, which was a bit to big for the boy. Cleitus pouted slightly, he had one, his dad had offered it to him, but it was at home. He tried with the bigger one but it wasn't exactly perfect. Antigonus used that fact to tease him a bit “I am better than you”

“No you are not... I will bring mine tomorrow and then I will beat you again”

“Brat”

“I am better”

Philip mediated “Well, we will see tomorrow...”, squeezing Cleitus' shoulders he continued “Come, we will walk you home”. His father's threat still loomed over his head and he didn't want anything to happen to Cleitus on his way home, so not letting him out of his sight was the best choice to stay in the good graces of everyone.

Dropides was on his way out and smiled at the trio “How did he fare?”

“Very well Dropides, he rides better than most of us”

“Good...”, it seemed that Cleitus was working well and that pleased his father “I am proud of you son”

“Thank you father”

“Go and see if you can help your mother, will you”

Cleitus nodded and before he took his leave he let Philip hug him “See you tomorrow, and don't forget your bow”

“I won't...”

Antigonus chuckled “You will still lose”

“No I won't”

“Yes you will”

“No”

“Oh yes...”

Dropides cocked his head and listened to the bantering exchange between his son and Antigonus for a moment before pushing his son inside and shaking his head “Well, I am glad I don't have to witness to that all day long”

“It's cute”, Philip smiled and then remembered his father's demand “Oh yes, before I forget, my father wants you to attend his dinner party tomorrow”

“Tell him I will be there”

“Will you bring Cleitus?”

“Isn't he a bit young for parties?”

“He is with us now, we will all attend too, he can join us”

“I will give it a thought”

“Thank you Dropides”

Inside, listening to them, Cleitus beamed and started making up reasons why he would have to attend and decided he would annoy his father until he would give in, before he joined his mother.
