"Did you break something? I thought I caught you in time."
Felix blinked up at the stranger, his face reddening as he realized he was still being held. He was lying in a stranger's embrace, his legs dangling off the ground. When has he ever been in an awkward situation like this?
"Oh, I'm fine," he said, flustered. "You can set me down now. Thank you."
The man gently lowered him to the ground, taking a slow step back but still holding his arm out to catch Felix in case he stumbled. Felix's eyes lingered for a moment, taking in the tall, broad-shouldered, grey-eyed man. He was handsome, very handsome, but his unfamiliarity made Felix pause.
"Emm…" he said, clearing his throat, "Thank you once again."
"Sure," the man said. His voice was low and steady, it seemed to have a magnetic effect that made Felix want to speak more with the man. "Why were you up there, though? Something broken?"
