“played like a fucking gay little fiddle” is my new favorite phrase 🤣 I’m loving this gladiator time period for our useless gays! Since you’re already spoiling us like the good Papi you are, can you please tell us what happens during those last 5 days? Do they keep going to the brothel (LOL) every day to meet up? What happens when Yelena has to leave? Do they run off together or is Yelena too famous that it would never even be a possibility?
-They obviously make the brothel their gay little haven for three of those five nights. The second night they see each other. The third Kate accidentally stands Yelena up. She just can’t get away from her house. Her parents have invited some people over, including some new rising star in the army that they’re trying to pair her with and as much as she tries to get away it’s impossible. The fourth night Yelena’s master plans a big last minute fight as a farewell to the city. Their last hoorah for a while since they’re leaving and not going to be back for who knows how long. Kate needs to explain why she wasn’t there the night before so she pays the dude off again so she can see Yelena in the dungeons before the fight. Yelena was pissed. She waited for hours for Kate to show the night before. She thought Kate had basically played her and decided she had enough of the lowly gladiator and was done with the game. Yelena thought she was but a toy the rich girl threw away. Kate has to explain what happened and she kisses Yelena and is all “Have you been hit in the head too many times. Don’t be dumb.” During the fight Kate feels like she’s taking every blow Yelena takes too. Even her mom and friends comment on how tense she is and how she’s reacting. Obviously, Yelena wins but she took a bad hit or two which STRESSES.KATE.OUT. All she wants to do is run over and make sure she’s okay. Kate and Yelena had plans to meet that night but Kate sees all the fighters be dragged away by the owner to some rich guy’s party after the fight. They don’t meet.
-The fifth and last night before Yelena leaves. They both make mental notes of “fuck the world. I’m seeing my woman tonight I don’t care who stands in my way.” Kate’s dad tries to tell her this general guy is coming over again and she’s like “LOL NO.” He pretty much tells her she doesnt really have a choice and she’s like “🖕🏽take this as a choice :)” and bolts out of the house.
-Yelena’s owner sees her about to leave and he’s like “where are you going?” and she’s like “out.” and he’s like “nah. we’re leaving early tomorrow. go back to your cell.” and she’s like “nope. see you tomorrow morning. ill be here when we need to leave.” and he tries to get testy with her and she’s like “bro…ill be here when we need to leave……” so he’s like “guards. take her back.” and sicced the guards on her. Needless to say she has the guards dead on the floor in like three seconds. The master is this scrawny little bitch who knows she could snap him in half if she wanted to and now that its the two of them and she’s two inches from his face all “I will be here when we need to leave tomorrow morning…YOU GOOD BRUH?!” he’s all “YUPYUPYUPYUP yes ma’am whatever you say ma’am dont kill me ma’am” lol
-So they meet up at the brothel and Yelena has done the romantic thing. She has actually arranged them a night alone. She didnt have any ulterior motives but she wanted a night away from the gross loud men at the bar. She rented them one of the big rooms at the back. Got some food brought in. Got some wine. Nice, quiet, alone time. For the first time ever. And maybe the last time ever. And they only have maybe about eight hours together. Kate sees what Yelena did and Yelena tries to start talking about the food and pouring wine but Kate has other plans. If they have maybe just eight hours together she’s not wasting it on eating or drinking. Well, they might need some of it later but for now she’s starting with the fun part. They never take eating or drinking breaks at all.
-Kate promises she’ll wait for her if Yelena promises she’ll stay alive. She’ll come back to Capua eventually and they can be back here again, to their little…home or whatever they want to call their nook…………..in the fucking brothel lol. All Yelena has to do is stay alive. Kate gives her one of the rings she was wearing as a symbol of that promise and to remember her by. Yelena wrapped one of the leather cuffs she wore around Kate’s wrist. It’s all she has to give. Kate tells her it’s more than enough.
-Sun is about to rise. Yelena has to go back to the ludus to start packing all their stuff onto the carts. It’s time to go. The fantasy is over. They have to split up. The worrrrrrsttttt. It’s almost impossible but they do it.
-Hours later Kate finds an excuse to go into town and watch their carts ride by as the gladiators leave the city. Their eyes meet. They know it’s the last time they’re going to see each other for a while.
-Because the ludus itself was still back in Capua they still have some connection to the city and because Yelena had spending money she could bribe people so when she knows someone was going back she would bribe them to get her any info they could on Kate. Just to know how she was. For a while there was nothing to report. No one knew anything. Kate and her family had gone off to Rome with her father after about three weeks after Yelena left so Yelena knew nothing about her. But suddenly, on the eight month, the servant comes back with news.
Katerina has returned from Rome!
FUCK YES!
With a husband!
FUCK NO!
