Brave Little Prince
What was the real goal here? It wasn't to fuck Penelope, no, certainly not. He couldn't care less about her. She could go die in a hole for all he cared.
Of course, he'd have to fuck her. If only to consumate the marriage. Maybe afterwards, he'd toss her in that hole. Call it a suicide. Or maybe he'd blame it on Antinous, call him jealous of the throne. Antinous was far too friendly with his way to power anyway. One act of treason is all it'd take to remove Antinous as a threat to his throne.
The boy, Telemachus. He'd have to do something about him, too. Maybe Antinous had a point about him. He was getting too strong, no longer compliant. Maybe he'd throw the boy down the hole with his mother. Or maybe he'd keep them separated, so they couldn't plot together, like they clearly were doing now.
Either way, everyone would know the name of King Eurymachus.

Of course, Eurymachus knew, logically, that he'd have to stall killing off the boy, at least until he secures Penelope's hand. But if he didn't stop bothering him, he might just start planting seeds to get Antinous to do the dirty work.
"Hey, Eurymachus-" Telemachus asked, leaning against the doorframe.
"What."
"I need to talk to you about somethin'." His voice sounded strange. If the suitor was anyone else, he might not have picked it up. However, it was Eurymachus. Best friends with Antinous, "sir drinks-a-lot" of Ithaca. He could tell that Telemachus was at least a little tipsy. Probably not drunk, he wasn't stumbling any. Just tipsy enough to face a suitor, alone. Not his smartest decision.
"About what, young prince?" Eurymachus knew better than to the deny the prince. At least, right now. Soon enough, he'll marry his mother, and then he will no longer have to deal with the prince. He'll toss him in the hole with his mother.
"You... need to stop being mean."
"Being mean?" Eurymachus prompted.
"You keep... being mean. You have to stop."
"Why should I?"
Telemachus approached the older one and shoved him backward on the bed, climbing on top of him.
"Little wolf, what are you doing?"
"Making you stop being mean." He reasons, before digging his fingers into the suitor's sides.
Regrettably, Eurymachus tensed up, his head pressing back against the bed on its own.
"Stop!" He hissed. It's been quite a while since he'd been tickled. It was hard to do anything except grab onto Telemachus' wrists, praying to every god that would listen that he would stop.
"Nuh-uh. Not until you stop being mean."
"I'm not being mean! Get off me!" Eurymachus hated this. Why did he feel like he couldn't move, like he was stuck? Why couldn't he move or fight or just toss Telemachus off of him?
"I just gotta make sure you won't be mean in the future."
"Young prince, I- fuhuck-!" Eurymachus squeezed the prince's wrists as hard as he could when he moved to his hips. He turned his head to hide in his shoulder, small titters beginning to escape. He almost sounded like a squirt bottle as he was trying to fight his own laughter. "Stohohop!"
"I can't understand you. You're laughing too much." Telemachus teased.
Eurymachus just shook his head no. This couldn't be happening. He was being humiliated in front of the prince, he could hardly move, let alone fight back. Maybe he'd kill the prince first. He would, without a doubt, if this doesn't stop soon.
"Mahaha- mahake ihihit stahahap!" The suitor's hands start slapping at Telemachus. Not very hard, he was weakened by the tickles. His laugh grew louder, more shrill. Gods, the involuntary begging was completely humiliating.
"What's the magic word?"
"Gohohods- stohohop plehehease!" He gritted out, hating that he could be reduced to being mannerful just from a few touches.
"Do you promise to stop being mean?" Eurymachus nodded, desperate to be rid of the tickling fingers.
Telemachus finally stopped, getting off of him.
"No more being mean. Or else I'll tickle you again." Telemachus declared, and left him to collect himself on his own.
Yeah. Eurymachus was definitely going to kill that annoyance of a prince.
BONUS SCENE
Antinous walked into Eurymachus' room.
"Hey, are you good? I haven't seen you all day."
"That bastard of a prince came in here and made me promise to not be mean. Fucking asshole." Antinous tilted his head.
"Oh? And how'd he manage to do that?" The smaller suitor crossed his arms and turned his head away, refusing to respond. "Eurymachus. Talk to me."
"He- tickled me." He sighed.
"Mm. He didn't find your worst spot, did he?"
"I don't have a worst spot."
"Oh, really? Then do tell, what do you call this?" Antinous smirks, squeezing just above his knee. The shrill scream was completely involuntary. He didn't mean to start kicking. Why was he so helpless when people started tickling him? Why couldn't he move?
"STOP STOP STOP! ANTINOHOHOUS!" His hands flapped helplessly, before they decided to cover his face. He could barely even think, much less plot his demise. But rest assured, Antinous would pay for this, one way or another.
"Alright, alright." Antinous stopped, gently rubbing the spot to chase away the phantom sensations.
"I hate you."
"No, you don't." Eurymachus glared at his friend.
"Fine. But don't do that again."
"I won't do it again, today."
"Ever."
"You heard me. Better keep an eye out, Eury."
Antinous was very, very lucky that Eurymachus needed him alive.
