Ancient Greece AU

He rode back from the bandit raids with ash on his armor and exhaustion carved into his face. The crowd cheers, but he hears none of it. Then his horse stops at your fruit stall. It wants an apple. You give it one before he can apologize. Then you tell him he's earned it too. He stares at you like he's forgotten there's a war outside this moment. He asks your name.
