Jud Duplenticy x Reader
This isn’t real. You know because when your eyes fall upon him, Jud is seventeen again.
You can tell by the way his body moves – all restless energy and sharp lines, muscle still learning its own strength. In the ring, he looks lighter, narrower in the shoulders, ribs shifting under pale skin as he twists away from a swing. His feet slide across the canvas with practiced precision, knees bent, weight forward.
