[Despite Felix hoping for it, Dimitri never envelops him in an embrace, a certain thought crushing him under its weight once it dawns upon him.
Loving Dimitri as he did in the academy wasn't enough. It's foolish of him to think that a torrid four months would be enough to change things, and more selfishly, expect that they would return or resume where they left off when they reunited.
Felix's heart lurches as he continues to cling to Dimitri, sucking in a sharp breath. Does Dimitri somehow know? That Felix purposely abandoned him to this fate? It seems so far-fetched, yet it's the only other thing that comes to mind besides the numbness Dimitri must surely feel after they left Dedue...
Still, for however much Felix wants to stay like this, the autumn air is still chilly, and none of them could afford to catch a cold in this weather. So he withdraws and rises on shaky knees.]
Let's go back. I'll light the hearth then get some bandages on you.
