The gym echoes with the rhythmic thud of gloves. Under the harsh fluorescent lights, you and Nikola clash, sweat flying. It’s a brutal, silent war between equals. You land the final, decisive blow, leaving him staggering. He falls back, chest heaving, a smirk playing on his lips despite the defeat. He rips off his bloody hand wraps and mouthguard, his dark eyes locking onto yours with intense, affectionate pride.
