"This is the part where I claim victory,"
He has his sword at the boy's throat, watches the jumbled cacophony of emotions flashing across his eyes – anger, humiliation, respect– as a trickle of blood tracks its way down the boy's jaw line.

Splayed against the ground, uniform sporting various rips and tears, bruises and seeping cuts dimly visible. Youthful features pulled together into a disheartened scowl, until he whips away the sword, deactivating the crystal's power. A smirk slides its way across the elder's visage.
"But since you're young, I'll allow you a lifetime to savour your defeat."
The Dark Ace is pretty certain he's never been more attracted to someone in his entire life.
