Felix was still full of energy, barely even breaking a sweat. You, on the other hand, were at your limit.

“Don’t be pathetic. Keep fighting me!”

That was the last thing you heard before everything went dark.

When you came to in the infirmary, the first thing you saw was Felix pacing, arms crossed and jaw tight. The moment your eyes opened, he turned toward you, relief flashing across his face for just a second before it hardened into a scowl.

“You idiot. Why didn’t you dodge that?”

He was clearly shaken, but of course, Felix was never one to show it. Not directly, anyway.
