FILL: Team Anime/Manga
challenging people to fights is how winter shows affection
//
“Fight me,” Winter says.
Cinder blinks at her, props her hands on her hips, tilts up her chin. Winter has always made her feel a little off-balance. “What? Why?”
She looks her up and down, tugging her bottom lip between her teeth. There’s something behind her eyes, Cinder thinks, something dark and wanting that Winter likely hasn’t acknowledged for herself yet. “Come on,” she challenges, “I know you want to.”
“I don’t do that anymore,” Cinder says automatically, sizing her up. Winter is a good four inches shorter than her without heels, but almost definitely physically stronger. She has broad shoulders, strong arms, and she was on the fencing team in high school and college. “Fight people, I mean. Why are you even asking me in the first place, huh? Decided the image isn’t worth it?”
Winter squares her shoulders, which is how Cinder knows she’s hit a nerve. “You don’t do that anymore,” she echoes, “so why are you looking at me like that?”
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
The corners of her mouth curl up. Smug isn’t a good look on her, but it’s at least a little hot. Cinder allows the discomfort to settle low in her gut, draws herself up in anticipation of the blow.
Winter folds her arms over her chest. “Fight me. If I win I’ll take you on a date.”
The blow doesn’t come. The tension in her stomach has nowhere to go. “I told you, I don’t fight people anymore,” she mutters. “If you want to ask me out just do it like a normal person.”
That stupid fucking smug smile doesn’t falter. “You and I both know you would have run away.”
“Not if it was you,” Cinder says.
Neither of them were expecting that to come out of her mouth. Winter’s eyes flicker for a moment, weird smugness fading; Cinder curls her hands into fists to stop herself from clapping them over her mouth and/or punching Winter in the face.
“Fight me anyway,” Winter says, and that’s that.
