@2ndvice said: "HEY, rooster head!" the crows' vice calls out, his slender fingers promptly clenching into a perfect fist as his arm moves back: ready for the blow. "Next time... try not to act to cocky, will you?" BAM !!
He wouldn’t be able to say which is worse: the salve of puns and dad jokes (has Karasuno’s #2 decidedly spent too much time with their captain? And here he thought he held the crown of resident old man in a youngster’s body); or the way his fist curls up faster and more threateningly and Rocky’s before he steps onto the ring. “Oi - a’right, Suga-chan, let’s talk about this before someone does something they might regret and...” Hands raised in self-defense, a plea for appeasement; none of this matters when Sugawara so obviously has already made his decision. Tetsurô can barely blink before the other guy’s fist abruptly connects with his stomach, pain shooting up and down and knocking the air out of his system while stars dance before his eyes. Aow.
That fuckin’ hurts. And not just his feelings, or his ego, mind you.
A string of curses crosses the threshold of his lips as muffled, pained grunt, one hand looking for support against the lockers; goddammit, when did Mr Wholesome Team Mum learn to throw vicious punches like that?? Wholesome my ass. Appearances can be deceiving - with Sugawara, they can also be deadly, apparently.
“... you’re supposed t’put the boxing gloves on first, smartass.” Kuroo seethes through the devious grin he manages to muster through the pain - oh, this is how he wants to play, it, down and dirty. Alright, then. Fine by him.
“T’think this is how you reward the goodness of my heart - eesh, I’m hurt, y’know.” He protests, hand rubbing over his poor stomach to soothe the ache. That’ll teach him, accepting to show Sugawara the boxing routine he uses to supplement his volleyball training. That’s what you get for being kind, in this cruel, ruthless world. A short tsk clicked from tongue against teeth, and Kuroo opens his locker to retrieve a tied pair of boxing gloves, before he tosses them at the setter. “Wanna settle this in a fair fight?”
