A True Fighter

Chapter One

There's sweat running down my face, but that doesn't make me want to stop. I keep pushing.

I keep swinging at the punching bag, thinking about the reward I've offered myself if I finish my training. An amazing three hour marathon for Steven Universe.

I finally hit my target enough times for my shoulder to start cramping, making me wince in pain. I stagger back into Arnaldo, a training buddy of mine.

"Watch out Reese, I could've elbowed you straight in the face. " He looks at me with serious concern, but I laugh at his reaction. We both know I could have handled it well, but I still appreciate him for caring.

"Ha," I take off my gloves and hand them to him, "I wish. I would have an excuse to go home early and chill. Those conspiracy theory videos aren't going to watch themselves, ya' know!"

He takes the gloves and throws them onto the floor. "Roo, I love you and everything, but you are the biggest nerd I know." He comes up to me and places his hand on my shoulder.

"Please stay that way, love."

He winks at me, and I push him off and wink back.

I head toward the locker room to change when my phone starts to ring.

"Hello?" I pick it up while taking off my gym clothes.

"Is this the prude residence? I would like to request a blowjob please."

My blood starts to boil at Caspian's pathetic joke. It doesn't even make sense.

"What do you want, you manwhore? Another slut to screw? Sorry, we don't accept clients with type two chlamydia." I smirk to myself. Not bad, but I could do better.

I hear him chuckle on the other line. "That was good, but you've said worse. I just wanna know if I could stop by. I'm horny as fuck."

"No, what the fuck. What kind of question is that, you butt head?"

I pulled my gym shirt over my head and wrapped a towel around my body and walked into the showers. "I'm busy, can I call you back?"

I don't give him time to answer and hang up. Time for shower thoughts.

Caspian has been my personal flirting buddy/jerk of a friend for three years. He's low-key into me, but he's not my type. My type is more nerdy like me, but buff.

I know plenty of guys that fit my criteria, but I don't make any moves. I don't think I want a relationship right now.

But I want the goals like on the Instagram pictures. But one can dream.

* * *

After my twenty minute shower, getting changed, and planning a lunch date with Arnaldo, I head out. I have plans with a friend of mine named Steven Universe who is trying to save the world right now.

I go to unlock my door, which I come to see is open. I get into my defense stance and kick the door open.

"Hey! Who's in here?!"

Out from my room comes a naked Caspian looking startled.

"Damn, " he started, "You're so hot when you're mad. Come lay down with me, babe. Maybe we can, cuddle?" He waves his eyebrows suggestively.

"Caspian!" I yell. "I could've hurt you! I was ready to take out my taser!" I pull out my taser and almost tase him to prove a point.

"But babe," he says, "you know you could never hurt me." He gets closer to me and garbs my shoulders pulling me close.

"Now, let's get you out of those clothes and into bed with me." He came into kiss me but I dodged him.

"I just got back from training. I don't want to have sex right now." He sucks his teeth in frustration. He makes a weird face, which makes him look cute, which makes me want to kiss him, and since he's naked I take a look at his manhood, and decide I want to have sex.

So much for will power.

"Fine," I say, "but only twenty minutes. " I want to watch Steven Universe." He picks me up and slams me onto the wall.

His eyes darken and he whispers into my ear, "I don't think you'll have time for that tonight." Oh, rats.

He picks me up again walking into my bedroom while kissing my neck, and drops me onto the bed. Before he can say or do anything, I attack his face with my mouth, doing everything possible.

So much for the marathon.

* * *

"Wow, you are a tigress in bed." Caspian shakes his head in disbelief, but decided to trail kisses down my neck and arm.

He looks up at me, staring deeply into my eyes. I can't help but stare back, analyzing his grey swirled with blue eyes. It's like getting lost in a galaxy.

"Hey Roo?"

"Yes Cas?"

"Why don't you want to go out with me? I mean, I love you and everything."

"I don't know, Caspian. I'm just not ready for love. I mean, I love you as a friend, and I don't really know what our relationship is. We have sex often, we cuddle, we act like a couple. But does that mean we have to be a couple?"

"No, but it would make me really happy if we were. I would treat you right, we would do anything you wanted, and I would devote my life to you."

"Caspian, stuff like that sounds amazing, but I guess I just want to enjoy what we have. Something not so serious. Maybe in the future we can take this up a notch."

I lean over and wrap my arms around his neck, giving him a deep kiss. We make out for awhile, losing track of time.

Maybe I do love him like a girlfriend should, but I don't know if I want that. I try not to think about it.

All while I try to ignore this weird feeling in my stomach.
