The writing and art for this is really good. I like the little subtext where Fabius likes Aelius, but has obviously never said as much. So he acts like a dick when he finds out Aelius is leaving. Then OOPS, Aelius can't leave. So Fabius keeps deliberately grabbing him as his opponent every day.
With that bit, I like the little feeling you sometimes get in real life. Where it's obvious there's a crush incident going on, but the subject is oblivious. Aelius doesn't come off as particularly dense either, since he's super distracted with his situation and Fabius had obviously not made moves as bold as this beforehand.
So yeah, nice job with the writing there.
