Maybe they have been a powder keg all along? Or the tick, tick, tick of a timebomb. Looking back years from now someone might have been able to pinpoint the exact moment things turned south. But this wasn't years from now. It was here and now. The gritty noise of gravel underfoot -- the kind of noise it made as feet push against it, feet skidding as two bodies grapple in the dirt. The whole world could have been on fire, but they wouldn’t notice. All that caught their notice was where the next punch was coming from. Next kick. Next attack. “Shit.” Is hissed out through gritted teeth as one lands a solid punch to the other’s jaw. It will leave a mark. “Is that all you’ve got?” Is the taunt thrown back as feet are swept out from under the punch thrower. His assailant hits the ground heavily, hard enough to have the wind knocked out of him. Still, he flashes a grin that nearly goes unnoticed thanks to the dim night. "Just getting started," he says, forcing the words out as he pushes himself to stand up. In this moment, it doesn't even matter that they were both in this once. Things have changed, and watching the world burn isn't an option anymore. They collide again, aiming blows at each other. Some land and some don't, but it's enough of a distraction for them to not even notice that they're no longer alone. |
