LEAN, MEAN, FIGHTING MACHINE

The boy would stop his movements the moment she went down. He stood panting, heavily, for she was a formidable opponent. He had noticed her enthusiasm, her will to strive for a win. But it seemed, by surprise, he was the one that came out victorious. He hadn't done too much fighting, for he preferred not to. But he couldn't help but feel a sense of pride at his win. The girl would pull herself up, and he shaking out his pelt while a thin line of blood stained his pelt on his scruff. His body throbbed with the newly created bruises, but it would soon turn into a dull ache. He felt like he should apologize, in the event he had hurt her too much, but when she stood, he knew that she was okay. He glanced at his paws for a moment, suddenly feeling shy as she came towards him. Something he had not expected, was the touch of her placing itself upon his right cheek. Heat flared up beneath his creme colored fur, the male's heart racing. It was completely unexpected, and for a while he was lost for words, even as she asked him to join her for lunch.



Finally, as his mind regathered itself, he would speak. Though at first, his words would fail to pry themselves from his tongue. "O-of course. It was a...pleasure, sparring with you." Now wracked with nerves, Jinxx was hesitant and yet eager to join her for a much needed meal. He nodded, turning to walk with her as paws stumbled over themselves. Here it came, the nervousness that would put his mind into a blank...a coma. Hence why his Clan gave him his nickname. He always managed to blank during moments like these, for it had happened during a childhood crush that left him walking away in embarrassment. He tried to rework his mind, finally after what seemed like forever(which was only a few short seconds), he managed to speak again as his feet clumsily walked alongside her. Should she ask, he would just blame the spar they had just had. "I'd love to be with you." He smiled, suddenly realizing he hadn't finished his sentence. Would she take that first part the wrong way? "Er, I mean...Join you, for lunch I mean." More heat to his face, more embarrassment. C'mon Jinxx, pull it together!
