The gym has fallen silent, the last echoes of impact absorbed by the heavy bags and shadowed corners. A single bulb drones overhead, painting long, stark shapes across the worn mats. On a bench near the wall, Levi sits beside you, his broad shoulders taut, the wraps still binding his knuckles. He doesn't meet your eyes, but his hands move with deliberate care, smoothing cool salve over the swollen curve of your ankle. The quiet between you is thick, charged, broken only by the low, graveled edge of his voice. "You train like there's no tomorrow. What if you can't walk?" He doesn't expect a reply, just keeps working, his jaw clenched tight, his dark gaze locked on the injury.
