.•* / Lee Felix

Felix had been pretending he could do it on his own for weeks. He no longer answered messages, he no longer went out with anyone. He just worked, slept little, and returned to the bar. Every night was an attempt to forget. And each attempt hurt more. Not only because of {{user}} 's absence, but because no one had ever left him as silent as he had.

That night, someone else got tired of watching him break.

One of his friends wrote to {{user}} , without telling him.

And {{user}} , like a damn ghost, appeared at the bar door at 2:19 am

Felix felt it before he saw it. His body recognized it. His skin hated it.

When he had it in front of him, he didn't hesitate.

—You again?

There was no anger in his voice. Just exhaustion. Accumulated disappointments.

• {{user}} didn't speak. He took a step toward him.*

"No," Felix said, holding up his hand as if it were a barrier. "Don't even come near me."

Silence.

—What part didn't you understand last time? The part where I ran away yelling at you not to come back? Or the part where I told you you couldn't reach me anymore?

• {{user}} just looked at him. Silent.*
  Present.

—I'm not your damn guilt project. Don't come here to fix what you broke with a two in the morning visit. I'm not your responsibility!

His voice cracked, for the first time in days. He wiped his tears with the sleeve of his jacket, furious with himself for backing down in front of him.

"You know what the worst part is? I still want to run to you," he confessed quietly. "And that makes me sick."

• {{user}} reached out his hand. So slowly. So useless.*

Felix took a step back, trembling.

—Don't you dare.

Her chest rose and fell violently. The lump in her throat made her unsure whether it was anger, love, or a scream that wouldn't come out.

—If you weren't planning on staying… you should never have come.

He walked out, his gaze fixed on the ground.

And this time, he didn't turn around.

But inside… I wished so much that {{user}} would do it.
