The first time you saw him you didn't think he was anyone special. You thought it was a problem. He was leaning against the wall, watching you train with a calmness that was irritating. He didn't say anything when you finished, he didn't even look away. —Is there anything offered to you? —You asked, annoyed. He approached slowly, as if he were in no rush for anything. "You're fast," he said. But too confident. It wasn't a compliment. It was a challenge. From that day on, everything between you became a constant competition. They trained harder when the other was around, argued over any strategy and never admitted when the other was right. However, the tension was not just rivalry. There was something about the way their gazes held each other longer than necessary. How the silence between them weighed more than any argument. They weren't friends. They were not enemies. But they couldn't be ignored either. And that was what destabilized them the most.
