boxer phainon and benefactor mydei au
i like the idea of phaidei being childhood friends but mydei is forced to drift away bc of his family's underground business but phainon takes it personally so he vows to get stronger and richer to take care of and be with mydei
this leads him to fighting in eurypons fighting ring to make money to try and impress mydei when they cross paths at school and it honestly kind of works but also weird mydei out bc where is a broke college student getting the money to give him gifts until eurypon takes
mydei to a championship match for a grand prize and he sees phainon in the ring. post-match mydei grabs phainon and yanks him outside to ask why he's there and if he knows what hes doing getting tangled with the people inside and phainon has no idea why mydeis so upset
mydei: phainon what the fuck what are you even doing here how did you find this place
phainon, holding his giant wad of cash whimpering : i overheard some1 talking abt earning a thousand bucks in one night and ive been coming here for the past 2 years to buy you nice jewelry
