"You ready?"

"I was born ready!" [Name] confidently state, puffing their chest within pride and grinned.

"Really, now? Last time you seemed confident, was when I beat you." At this, Ekko measly smirked in an attempt to put [Name] off, which it ended up doing so.

"Shut it. Stop distracting me again, and let's do this!" [Name] responded within determination, gripping their staff and ran towards Ekko.

In the moment, Ekko gripped his spear and narrowed his eyes at the other. From them running towards him, Ekko swiftly moved to the side and used this to his advantage to then, shift the spear to trip up [Name].

They stumbled upon their feet from the sudden shiftening and grunted in annoyance, pivoting and glanced at Ekko. Without another uttered word, [Name] leaped to Ekko and bumped to his side, hitting the spear above him.

The white-haired boy clashed his spear against [Name's], both of them were now face-to-face with each other and were breathing heavily. Eyes slightly droopy from some form of tiredness, but it would seem that the two wouldn't give up.

As [Name] was pushed back, they gripped the spear within irritation and tossed it away. They seemed tired already of using the spear, now that it was annoying them. Putting up their fists, heavy breaths left their lips.

"Oh, some excitement." Ekko widened his eyes within surprise from [Name] putting up their fist, as he dropped his spear to the side and cracked his knuckles.

Well, this was sure to be a real big shit-showdown.

The [Hair Colour]-haired [boy | girl | person] ran towards Ekko and swung a punch to him, it narrowly went by Ekko, who swiftly dodged it and then sent a punch to [Name].

[Name] recoiled back, gripping their nose and looked at Ekko. "Not bad." Then, they stumbled towards him and sent a small punch to his shoulder.

Ekko, then gripped his shoulder side, letting out a small huff and quickly ran towards [Name], he suddenly grasped their wrist and pulled them close to him.

This caused the other to let out a small gasp of shock, their other hand was also caught on by Ekko, the white-haired boy grinned at this and turned [Name] around. The [boy | girl | person] struggled around, but Ekko held [Name] tightly within his grip and bent their elbows behind their back in aim to make them give over.

As he leaned to their ear, a smirk was evident upon Ekko's face and [Name] didn't even need to glance at him to even see if the smirk was there.

"I win, Firefly." That was all he whispered to them, knocking them to the ground quickly and pinned them down to the ground by their elbows.

[Name] aimlessly kicked their legs about to try and maybe, turn things around to get Ekko off of them. But, it was obvious to the two;

That Ekko had truly won.

Guess, it'd be their little 'date' now.

...

"Agh..." [Name] slightly hissed in pain from the wet cloth being dabbed onto their nose, scrunching it up slightly and then relaxed a bit. "Be careful, it hurts like hell."

"Yeah-Yeah, I'll be careful, Firefly." At this, Ekko continued to dab the wet cloth onto [Name's] face, as gently as he could and exhaled through his nose.

"You pack a hell of a punch, Ekko." In response, Ekko let out a small chuckle and silently nodded in agreement.

He then adjusted the healing bands onto [Name's] nose, patting their shoulder. "Uh, sorry about the punch. I guess, I shouldn't have agreed in initiating the punch--"

"No-No! I'm, uh, sorry for even starting it myself. And, uh, sorry for punching your shoulder as well." [Name] pointed to Ekko's shoulder, scratching their own right cheek and grimaced.

Ekko merely shrugged, wriggling his shoulder around to indicate that he was alright. "Don't worry, one punch can't stop me, Firefly." A mere grin formed onto his lips, causing the other to roll their eyes in response.

"Fair enough."

After that sentence, an unsettled silence of awkwardness was formed upon the two. They weren't usually ones to even manage to go far on a conversation, unless it was just of them arguing back and forth. So, this was all new to the two of them.

Ekko cleared his throat, "So, the deal. Since, I won: you ready to go on the date?"

[Name] could only sigh in response and slowly nodded in defeat, "Yeah-Yeah, sure thing."

A deal is a deal, as all would say.
