    Summary

    “Don’t you have a ‘look’ you like the most? Like a type of body, a type of face. Cute, sexy, stuff like that.”

    “A type of…” Achilles trailed off as he thought about it. He looked at Patroclus carefully and tilted his head. “I like your face, Patroclus. Is that what you mean?”

    Patroclus found himself at a loss for words, a little mystified by this entire interaction. It simply wasn’t possible that someone like Achilles didn’t have a type. Were it not for his candid tone and docile expression, Patroclus would have thought he was lying.

    An idea formed in Patroclus’ mind, laughable in his absurdity, but also somewhat experimental. He wanted to test the bounds of Achilles’ seeming ‘anything goes’ approach to attraction. It was all totally out of impulse. So, when he said what he said next, he hadn’t expected him to say yes.

    “Go out with me, Achilles.”

     

    Achilles is Patroclus' younger schoolmate with an infamous reputation. Every week he'll go out with the first person to ask then break up with them on the seventh day. Patroclus decides to put this to the test. One simple question will lead them down a path that neither of them would have ever expected.

    Summary

    Karma [noun]
    /ˈkɑː.mə/
    =a concept of action, work, or deed, and its effect or consequences

    Trope [noun]
    /trəʊp/
    =a recurring theme or idea

    Achilles really thought that this would be it; That everything that has happened during the past month was the universe's punishment for being such an idiot. But this right now? A clear sign that karma isn't done with him yet, and maybe even feeling particularly funny today.

    Or: Achilles makes fun of rom-coms and karma is served to him in the form of Patroclus, who drags him right into one

    Summary

    Was it Shakespeare that said Hell is other people? No… it was someone else, some French guy. Camus? Sartre? Achilles had seen somewhere else, on some cheesy Netflix show perhaps, that said Hell is an empty room. He had to agree.
