Made Me Insecure

Ciná grappled and struggled with Onyx for a bit as his forelegs wrapped around her shoulders and he felt hers around his sides, the two of them fighting for dominance in a fairly even match. Regardless of how they had butted heads back in the day, he had always respected and admired her strength and tenacity and he was glad to see that hadn't changed. They had gotten to know each other back then through spars and even still if felt like he was getting a sense of her better know through this little mostly playful fight than he would have from asking her questions or talking about their lives. Eventually, as she gripped his scruff, they finally fell to the ground and at first she had him on his back, but he kept the momentum up and after rolling with her a couple of times landed with her on her back under him and him pinning her to the ground beneath him.

He panted lightly as he lifted himself a bit to look down at her with a victorious grin, chuckling at the glare that he was greeted with in response. "Told you that they've been keeping me in shape," he told her with a wink before he climbed off of her and gave himself a shake to get rid of any dirt or grass that might have gotten caught in his fur during the tussle. He couldn't say it felt just like old times, but he didn't want it to. Back then he felt like he had so much to prove and so much pressure put on himself by his own desperate attempts at getting attention and the fact that he felt like he had to make up for everywhere that his family was lacking. Now he felt so much more at ease with himself and this life he had made for himself and for once felt like he could just do things to have fun. "Come on, lets keep going," he said with a nod of his head once she was back on her paws as well. He continued to lead her through the cedar trees and the near by lands for the rest of the evening until eventually they parted aways so he could head home. He hoped that this wasn't the only time he'd see Onyx again though. It was kind of nice having a friend again.
