[A pang of hurt strikes Felix at the odd look Dimitri gives him, nothing at all like the tender glances that would embarrass Felix just a scant six months ago. It's almost like the way things were back in the bridge, where Felix feels like Dimitri would slip away from him any moment...
Felix swallows as Dimitri speaks those words, quick to turn his back as he rubs his eyes before the tears could actually fall. He won't cry. He can't. Not even when relief threatens to devour him whole as much as the reminder that staying with Dimitri back in the monastery has changed things. Even if just a little.]
I won't, [Felix says as he makes his way to the fireplace to boil some water before shifting his attention to the pantry, where the vegetables and meat were for soup he was planning to make.
---
Twenty minutes later, Felix sets the table with two bowls of clear soup, filled mostly with vegetables and a little game. He sets two glasses of water on it too for good measure before he returns to Dimitri's bedside.]
