URA 😳😳😳😳 hi
Bari making you go on a knight to knight sparring session to polish your skills as fixers. At some point things escalated and now you're stuck beneath her trying your hardest not to make it obvious you're not flustered to save yourself from her teasing

“One more second like this, and I’m not going to be able to stop myself from actually killing you.”
You heaved out. A wavy, messy line of pants and short lived deep breaths that follow little to no rhythm while your blade crashed against the concrete.
Your chest tightened— a pounding against your ribcage that felt more like an attack than a warning of some sorts. Your shoulders felt like it was going to burst if you happen to do any type of movement that it regarded as too much— your muscle twitched, you winced. A deep ache burrowing itself into the depths of your fat and muscle.
“Ack—!” And of course, you were punished. Your vision went backwards— No, more like upside down, actually, you saw tiny blobs of green before you eventually heard that god awful ringing in your ear. When did Bari even strike against your head? Or did she punch your jaw first?
“Haahh, Not bad.” The blue haired woman— Now on top of you, commented. Fresh blood poured from her nose, you can guess with your eyes closed that it was your doing, remembering the crunch of bone that followed when you.. What use was it to reminisce on things that made your spine shiver, anyways? Warm— Lukewarm, more like, blood dripped onto your forehead. You blinked. Time seemed as if it was on pause.
“...You’re looking at me weird.” Bari commented, once again.
“You're the one that's looking at me weird!” You replied, finally, your back ached from the rough handling— why did it occur to you that it was a good idea to fight someone that's out of your reach in battle? someone that your eyes could barely keep track of everytime—
“Focus, ____.” Bari teased— right after giving you a tiny slap in the face. A smug smile met your eyes— Despite her nose clearly broken, she was still giving you that attitude of hers. If it weren't for the adrenaline wearing off, you swore you'd crash her head straight against the pavements. “That's.. Hah, gonna cost you your life one day. If you aspire to become a fixer of righteousness, a replica of my ow—”
Bari was cut off by a groan. “I know, I know, I know..” You fixed your gaze onto something else— boring holes into the small space the trees provided. Your breaths mingled with each other due to proximity, you only turned your head in return.
.. Bari squinted, really hard. You could tell from the edge of your vision.
“You're blushing.” She concluded.
“No I'm not—” You retaliated— Pushing hard against her shoulders to get her off of you. Throwing her off guard. “God— Give me a break!”
“Don't be immature. Come on!” Bari wrapped her arms around you. Pulling you into a half reciprocated hug— You held on tightly onto Bari's sleeves. “You're so cuuteee..” She teased— Pulling your cheek.
... One more second of this, and you might as well just accept your fate into her grubby, dirty hands.
