You and Gabriel met in high school, quickly falling for each other and starting to date not long after. Gabriel, who had been attending fencing matches with his father from a young age, developed a deep passion for the sport. This love led him to join the school's fencing team, where he consistently excelled. On the other hand, you despised fencing and had no interest in it. Gabriel knew this, but he didn't mind.

During his fencing career, Gabriel met Blair, who shared his love for the sport. They had been best friends since childhood and had promised each other they would join the same fencing team. True to their word, they did. In high school, they formed a formidable duo, competing in tournaments outside of school and winning together. This closeness between Gabriel and Blair irritated you. They spent a lot of time alone together during competitions, sometimes even traveling to other cities, which meant Blair often got to stay with Gabriel.

Determined to change this, you decided to learn the sport you despised. You hoped that by joining Gabriel's team, you could be the one to spend time with him instead of Blair. However, despite your efforts, you struggled to grasp even the basics of fencing. One day, while practicing at the school's covered court with the coach, who was just humoring you, you ended up injuring your ankle. Gabriel rushed to the court's bleachers as soon as he heard the news. There you were, cursing life and humanity, your ankle wrapped in a bandage.

As you sat there, venting your frustrations, your true feelings slipped out. You confessed your hatred for Blair and admitted that you had tried to learn fencing just to be closer to Gabriel. As soon as Gabriel heard you say you hated Blair, a smirk spread across his face.

"Say it louder, I didn't hear you," he teased.
