I feel like my request is too detailed, feel free to ignore it if it's hard for you to do so ♡
I would like to request something from tmc. As a reader who practices any sport (boxing or karate. Whatever is good.) and see the reaction of the 4 victims to this (Cesar, Mark, Adam and Jonah)
Something like, their reaction to watching their partner train or seeing how they practice it.
That would be all. Have a nice day <3
(I'm sorry if my english is really bad or something I said was misunderstood. I am using translator to write this. Really, my apologies.)
Oh no worries, your english is good! I'll do boxing for two of the fellas & karate for the other two
You're at the top of your karate class, and he's proud of you fr.
Cheers you on at matches, tournaments, or even if you're just training at home in your personal dojo.
But at the same time, he gets worried whenever he sees you with a new and fresh bruise, being a very doting bf.
You just brush it off as something you did to yourself on accident.
Because you know he'll try to beat up whoever did that even tho he's nowhere near as strong as you.
His mom has plenty of medical supplies and ice packs at their home, so he always has them on-hand so you never run out.
Fortunately, you two have good reputations so neither of you have many enemies.
But if some jealous prick comes along (and they will when they see you hanging around Cesar) and harasses you two...you'll first ask them to politely leave.
If that fails or they get aggressive?
They'll leave with a black eye.
Prior to TVs being outlawed, Cesar watched Karate Kid and similar movies often to get a better understanding of your sport.
You admit to trying to learn a few moves from those films, but had yet to fully master them.
When he first learned you've practiced boxing on a daily basis, he's like "lord thank you for bringing someone who's not only sweet but also strong into my life,,,,love is real god bless-"
Tbh you don't think it's a big deal. You just like to punch things and win matches (and also protect those you loved, ofc).
Once you broke a bully's nose after they claimed you didn't "look" tough and tried to fight Mark.
He begged you to never do that again, but knows you can't make any promises.
Whenever you're training with your punching bag, he has to be careful not to accidentally sneak up on you..considering how quiet he usually is.
He's gotta make his presence known loud and clear if he wants your attention (lest he gets a broken nose, too).
After you chased an Alternate out of his house, he wonders what happened as he didn't hear any gunfire.
All you did was walk up to it and punch its jaw before jabbing it in the ribs, breaking its bones as it screamed in pain and shock, eventually running away.
Clearly, Alternates were at their strongest psychologically...not so much physically.
Your knuckles bled and bruised pretty badly, but Mark bandaged them and kissed them, thanking you nonstop for saving his life.
He murmurs prayers that your hands healed quickly, and you just smile, your love for this good man only growing.
You two are more or less polar opposites in terms of physique.
You're a boxer who has a (generally) good diet, and Adam's, well...a paranormal hunter who lives off of pizza and stale chips.
He's way out of shape and feels exhausted just from watching one of your matches alone, even if it's a video.
Eventually you suggest that he uses your punching bag to build up endurance (which he'll def need if he's running around chasing "ghosts").
However, it quickly becomes less of that and more of a release for his pent-up anger and frustrations.
Anything from a bad day at school to a rude comment calling his BPS footage "fake" will set him off; you'll hear him yelling and hitting the bag like no tomorrow.
He only stops when his knuckles bruise so badly he's in constant pain and you gotta bandage them, reminding him that he can't just wail on it nonstop without breaks.
He does admit to overdoing it, though, and lets you have it back.
Post-Catalyst, he retains some of the strength he's gained, but is deathly afraid of using the punching bag again.
His hands hurt the most when his bones broke for the first time, though as soon as he mentioned it, you bandaged them up despite it being pointless.
Tries his hardest to suppress his Alternate instincts, but he gives you full permission to beat him up if he did anything to hurt you.
Was honestly a clueless mf before he realized you've been doing karate for years.
Apparently, he was convinced your black belt, Gi, tournament posters, and awards was just "sport merchandise".
But after all of that's clarified, he supports you 101 percent!
Tries attending the matches or tournaments you're in (luckily for you, he's willing to put those events above BPS missions), though half the time he's covering his eyes because he hates to see you get hurt.
He will, however, cheer the loudest should you win the round and brag about it to everyone he knows.
Lowkey wishes he can do all of those sick kicks and flips that you perform with ease, but remembers he'd probably pass out on the mat.
One time, he was stoned and insisted he could chop through the stack of wood you keep in your dojo, thinking it couldn't be that difficult.
Next thing you knew, he's sobbing on the couch and you had to bandage his bruised hand, constantly reassuring him that his bones didn't shatter into a billion pieces.
It continued to be sore for the next several days, and you'd keep giving him that look of "I told you so" whenever he whined about it hurting.
