Silver the Hedgehog reference, but has nothing to do with Sonic lmao
Probably my most controversial new fic, Dreams of Absolution is just a massive copefic for me after TADC's finale.
In it, Jax is given an opportunity from a mysterious entity calling itself an angel.
He would go back to certain times in his life in the circus where he makes up for all his mistakes, allowing himself to be open and befriend all those trapped with him.
A/N: Hope ya don't it being @burrotello's boxer au because I had a tough time figuring out what to write with no prompt
CW: Violence, intense make out scene
On the Ropes
"Heeeey, Zoobs~" A certain purple rabbit called over to the hulking mix match boxer that was currently sitting in the locker room packing away their dirty gear so they could get their stuff clean.
Zooble's eye twitched in irritation as they heard the voice call out to them from the doorway. They turned their triangular head to look at Jax, finding that he was casually leaning against the doorway. He had his annoyingly signature wide, toothy smirk on his face and his eyes sent a challenge, "What do you want, Jackrabbit?" They questioned, trying to keep their tone as even as possible despite their hatred for him.
Jackrabbit, or what most people called him, Jax, snickered at the grouchy response. He took it in stride, used to everyone's dislike of him- it was rare for anyone to even give a crap about him and that's how he liked it. But Zooble? They were fun to bother since they actually fought back and made teasing them an actual challenge- that and they were second on the leaderboard, just under him. He hopped on over to them with a slight mocking hum under his breath, "C'mon now~" He coaxed them to calm down a little as he jumped up on the bench next to the second rated boxer, putting his elbow against one of their arms rather casually, "I was merely going to offer a spar between the both of us since we both got matches coming up this week."
Zooble scoffed as they pulled their arm away, making the rabbit lose a bit of balance before he quickly regained it, "We all know you play dirty." They narrowed their eyes at him, "Whose to say that you won't do something to make me unable to fight tomorrow?" They tapped gazelle hoof while shutting their locker door.
"Oh! C'mon! Have a little bit of faith in me!" He retorted but his smirk didn't waver as his amusement remained. He saw their complete and utter distrust which made him roll his eyes and raise his hands up in innocence, "I just have a lot of energy left after my last match and I was thinkin' that you'd be tough enough to help me release it. Honest." He admitted, letting his expression fall to a far more genuine one.
The Alalgam let out a groan then sighed, sticking their hand out to Jackrabbit, "Fine. But, if I win, you have to stop playing pranks on everyone for a week- that includes you cheating." Their tone was gruff and serious.
The purple rabbit pouted at the deal, his ears falling a bit. Then he thought about what that meant and he immediately lit up, "Oh! Oh!" He exclaimed with a mischievous chuckle, "Does that mean if I win, you'll help me play an over the top prank?!" He questioned excitedly, his little purple puffball tail wagging rapidly.
They ran a hand down their face with a groan- they were going to regret this but... "Yes." They affirmed.
"DEAL!" He grinned eagerly as he clasped the hand they held out to seal the agreement.
Zooble looked at the excitedly mischievous rabbit with a grimace- they were definitely already regretting this.

Able looked over at the two boxers that were in the ring, "Can we try to make this quick, you two?" He deadpanned as he leaned lightly against the scoreboard, "And avoid too many injuries? I rather not be blamed if you two can't fight tomorrow." His sharp gaze was mainly on his boxer, Jackrabbit, when he said that.
Jax rolled his eyes, his long ears tilting towards his manager, "Alright~ No need to glare at me that much." He scoffed, holding back his want to call Able 'Cardface'. He moved to his place across from The Amalgam, cracking his knuckles.
"I just want to put this asshole in his place." Zooble drawled, "I won't break any bones, no matter how much he deserves it." They took their place across from the rabbit, getting ready for the spar. They looked almost bored.
The cards sighed before standing up straight, "One round. Whoever knocks out three times or has their opponent down for a count of ten, wins!" He announced to the two fighters, "Ready?" He looked at the two to make sure they were in position and prepared.
DING!!
The match began with the ring of the bell.
The Jackrabbit was the first to move- racing up to The Amalgam and immediately began to let out a flurry of quick-timed punches all up and down their upper torso and face. Zooble had moved their large arms to block the rapidly moving punches right before the rabbit could begin to land any of his punches on them- it was known throughout the boxers that he usually tended to go for his "Knockdown" attack in the beginning of his matches so he could start powering up the move right away so it was always best to block before beginning to fight against him.
Once Jax finally got tired of punching and began to backpedal away, Zooble took that as their chance to attack with some strikes of their own- they weren't nearly as fast as the other boxers, especially not Jackrabbit, but their strength came more from feinting and striking from where their opponents least expected it.
The rabbit bobbed and weaved most of the attacks, even being able to counter a few while getting off a few more flurry of punches anytime he saw an opening. After getting enough hits in, he was able to hit the mix matched boxer hard enough to have to fall to the ground.

The Amalgam was able to stand back up with a newfound fury in their eyes that actually made The Jackrabbit gulp silently, "I suggest you grit your teeth, rabbit." They narrowed their eyes as they quickly moved their way over to him, dodging any punch that went their way until they were able to land a strong punch to his cheek before he had the chance to backpedal or duck. He landed hard on the ground with a thud.

Jax was able to use the ropes near him help him stand back up, rubbing his cheek in pain, "Ugh... Stupidly strong..." He grumbled under his breath. He took a moment to shake off the pain before getting back to the fight.
Several minutes passed as the two of them continued their spar, each of them were able to knock the other down once each which caused them to be at the point where one more knockout would win either of them the spar.
They continued to trade blows as well as countering, blocking and dodging other blows. After a while, Zooble had cornered Jax onto one side of the ring and against the ropes- both of them were breathing heavily and feeling exhausted from the longer than expected spar
The purple rabbit's long ears were pinned against his head in frustration at being close to beaten by a boxer lower on the leaderboard, he glared while panting hard. He saw their fist begin its travel towards his stomach and he made a split second decision-
He grabbed the fist while going on his toes so he could reach over and kiss Zooble, holding them their with one of his hands grabbing the back of their head.
Zooble's eyes widened in shock, their fist stopping in its tracks as they processed what was happening. Before pressing against his lips harder which led him to fighting back. They ended up making out so hard that Jax slipped and fell on his back in the ring... yet that didn't stop them. Both of them determined to claim dominance over their opponent even if it meant with kisses fueled by frustration and a need to win.
Able stared at the two that were currently rolling around in the boxing ring, making out like the title of champion depended on who lasted the longest. His eyes twitched before simply just turned and left the room- not dealing with this anymore.
