Patroclus can't wait to go to the winter ball with his friend Briseis. It's not the ball itself though he's been waiting for, but rather seeing his best friend Achilles in a tux, looking fabulous. The only stupid thing is: Achilles doesn't know how Patroclus feels.
Achilles has to take Deidameia to the winter ball. He'd rather asked Patroclus, but he doesn't know that Achilles is gay, let alone that Patroclus is his biggest crush since - ever?
Deidameia and Briseis can't witness their best friends' mutual pining any longer. Good that they have many friends at school and the election of the prom king and queen seems like the perfect opportunity to give them a lucky push...
