[While tumbling off the bed and landing square on his back thanks to that shove hurts like hell, Dimitri's words continue to sting more than the way he physically lashes out.
Nothing seems to be broken, only bruised as Felix pulls his legs towards himself and sits on them. Felix isn't sure how much of either he could take given how painfully hollow his heart feels now, but again, someone between the two of them has to keep themselves together in this situation.
And, as he keeps telling himself while clutching the ring under his shirt, it's not going to be Dimitri. Not when this is all ultimately Felix's doing in some way, and Dimitri has every right to be feeling this way. So Felix wipes his tears away, swallowing before he speaks again.]
Then... what?
[It still comes off a little more raw than it should, but at least he's no longer saying it between sobs.]
