The lights cleared and there was little time to react before the crowd’s cheer alerted Nox just a second before he was on his back in the dirty with Jay on top of him.
The fists to his face hurt but the betrayal looking down on him hurt worse. He’d fucked up a lot more than his own life. Two of the people he cared about and they both hated him.
Jay yelled why. And Nox didn’t know the answer ”Why fucking what?”. Nox said trying to block the blows the best he could. But he hesitated. The power flowed through him but he didn’t use it, could have but he wanted the pain. The horde demanded payment — it wanted blood. He’d give them blood.
Jay growled back at him. ”I thought we were fucking friends.”
Nox laughed. He relaxed his defenses in doing so but the blows continued to reign down. Nox closed his eyes and in between poundings wove a wall of air between him and Jay’s fists. ”Which is it? Fucking as in emphasis or just the fucking you wanted from me?”
Nox wove a second weave of air and use it to push him off him.
