[Felix notices that hitch in Dimitri's breath, but before he could lose his nerve, he decides to push through, inhaling sharply.]
It's... not fair to you or him. [He clutches at Dimitri's shirt as if it would give him the strength he needs to continue.] Yet...
[I think I've fallen in love with you anyway.
The words would not come, and it's in light of his silence that Felix forces himself to look up and meet Dimitri's gaze, hoping, willing for his eyes to tell everything that words would not. It's a fierce gaze at odds with his red-rimmed eyes, softened by the uncertainty that lines his features, the vulnerability that comes with having cried one's heart in front of this person more often than what is warranted.
If there's one prayer he wishes the goddess would answer for him then, it's this. Amidst his racing heart and pursed lips, it's a message he wishes that would reach its destination, never mind the reply he both dreads and awaits.]
