Semblance : Can turn entire body into a rubber-like material.
Now let the story begin.
The crowd roars with excitement as the finals of Mistral's annual fighting competition begins, the competitors being Pyrrha Nikos and her childhood friend/rival [Y/N] [L/N].
Jeez, I can't believe it's already time for me to fight Pyrrha. Winning this isn't gonna be easy, but no matter who wins this, our battle will be a great one.
[Y/N] thinks to himself as he walks into the arena to face her.
Pyrrha : Best of luck to you [Y/N]!
She offers a friendly handshake which he accepts.
[Y/N] : You too Pyrrha. Now let's make this fight one for the ages!
Pyrrha : Right!
Getting into their fighting stances, the announcer then begins the match.
Pyrrha immediately uses her semblance to launch her shield Akoúo̱ at [Y/N], which he ducks under to avoid.
[Y/N] : Missed me!
Pyrrha : Did I?
She smirks as Akoúo̱ comes circling back to [Y/N], which would've hit him in the head if he didn't quickly activate his semblance and use his rubbery arms to catch it.
[Y/N] : Yeah...you did.
I've been smacked by Akoúo̱ so many times in the past that I learned how to counter this move.
Pyrrha : Impressive. Let's see if you can catch this!
The red haired champion launches Miló at her opponent, which he intercepts with his stomach in a cartoony fashion.
[Y/N] : Miló is quite a nice weapon Pyrrha, but I think I'll give it back to you!
He sends the javelin back at her using the elasticity of his stomach, which she uses her semblance to stop in mid air.
[Y/N]'s semblance basically renders both Miló and Akoúo̱ ineffective against him, so I have to rely on my combat skills.
Pyrrha charges at him and delivers a series of punches and kicks, which [Y/N] does a good job of parrying.
When it comes to fighting, Pyrrha and I are equally matched, so this battle will be decided by whoever tires out first.
Using his stretchy arms, [Y/N] takes hold of Pyrrha and throws her, though she quickly gets back up.
[Y/N] : I'm having a lot of fun Pyrrha, how about you?
Pyrrha : I am too. You're definitely the only person who can push me to my limits, but I'm not planning on losing [Y/N].
[Y/N] : Me neither, now show me what you're got Pyrrha!
She nods and picks up her weapons before rushing at him once more.
Timeskip
After a long and thrilling match, Pyrrha emerges the victor with her aura just barely in the red.
The crowd chants Pyrrha's name as she walks over to [Y/N], who is on his knees and panting heavily after their intense fight.
Pyrrha : Are you ok [Y/N]?
She asks him out of worry, to which she gets a thumbs up from her defeated opponent.
[Y/N] : Y-yeah, I just....need a moment to catch my breath. You were awesome today Pyrrha.
Pyrrha blushes slightly from his praise before offering him a hand, which he gladly accepts.
Getting up, [Y/N] wipes the sweat of his forehead and looks at his friend with a smile.
[Y/N] : Thanks. After our match today, I think I'm gonna be sore for a while.
He says jokingly as Pyrrha giggles.
[Y/N] : You're probably about to be swarmed by journalists and fans any minute now, so I'll leave you to that as I go freshen up in the locker room. See ya later champ.
He goes to walk away before she stops him.
Pyrrha : W-wait [Y/N]!
[Y/N] : Hmm? Did you need something Pyrrha?
She looks at him nervously while remembering what her mother told her earlier.
Flashback
Mrs. Nikos : Pyrrha, if you have feelings for [Y/N], why don't you confess to him after the tournament? He's a very handsome young man so you better tell him how you feel before another girl gets him first.
Flashback End
Mom's right. I've been in love with [Y/N] since we started going to Sanctum together. I just hope he returns my feelings.
She takes in deep breath and begins fidgeting with her fingers before speaking.
Pyrrha : Before I tell you this, promise me that we'll keep being friends.
[Y/N] : Of course Pyrrha. You're really starting to worry me here. What's going on?
Pyrrha : S-sorry [Y/N], I swear to you nothing is wrong. I just wanted you to know that I....like you a lot.
[Y/N] : I like you a lot too Pyrrha.
He smiles as she shakes her head as her blush deepens.
Pyrrha : N-no [Y/N], I mean I like you as more than just my friend.
Realization sets in as [Y/N] begins blushing as well.
[Y/N] : O-oh.
Pyrrha : Y-yeah. Now that I told you this....do you.....maybe....like me that way too?
She asks with hope in her eyes as she waits for [Y/N]'s response.
Please say you do.
[Y/N] : Pyrrha....I love you.
Hearing him say that causes Pyrrha to smile wider than she ever has before.
Pyrrha : I love you too [Y/N]!
She hugs him tightly before pulling him into a kiss, which unfortunately catches the eyes of several onlookers.
Fan #1 : Look there! Nikos and [L/N] are kissing!
Fan #2 : Are they a couple?!
[Y/N] : Good grief. Well, I'm not gonna let them ruin our moment. I love you Pyrrha.
Pyrrha : I love you too [Y/N].
The two champions share another brief kiss before having to deal with the incoming flood of questions about their match and newfound relationship.
