Soham couldn't refuse the demand of a friend whom said needed to clear his mind, so here they were, drenched in sweat, out of breath and hearts about to explode, noises echoing in the empty gym. 

The one with less experience was near hyperventilating. 

"Feeling better ?" Soham asked in-between two coughs. 

Beating up a motionless object wasn't the same as fighting with a person at all - Him and Kai had had their fair share of little sparrings throughout the years but nothing similar to just now.

"A bit" the bent in half guy breathed out.

The introverted fighter wasn't one to be pry - He swept away the bottle from the floor and gulped it down. 

Prying wasn't his thing. Indiscreet people annoyed him. 

Kai starred at the poor bottle being vacuumed till drought.

Prying was unnecessary "What happened ?" Soham asked looking to the guy as lifting the bottom of his shirt to dry his mouth.

"What happened ?" He retorted with irked.

Soham let go of the fabric, eyes squinting "Yeah...?".

Kai's starring intensified while he regained a posture ready to fight. 

Head shrugging with the shoulders, he outwardly projected his lower lips "nothing" - The purposely poorly hidden fake act threw Soham off, whom confused about the situation, decided to go with the flow and mirrored Kai's stance.

Both started lightly bouncing on their bare feet, putting one foot before another, then putting it back behind ; testing the water to find an opening.

Kai went in first with a right jab which hit the opponent's forearm used as a shield before the face. 

Soham took advantage of the short distance to counter attack with a soft uppercut from under followed by - after slightly backing off- a low kick in the knee. 

Caught off guard, Kai couldn't help but loose balance and therefore, unfamiliar to actual fights, couldn't focus on avoiding the fatal blow : A vertical elbow strike falling right in the middle of the skull.

Obviously Soham stopped in his momentum. Even so, his victory was called, he couldn't hold in a smug scuff.

Between greeted teeth Kai hissed "One more" His blurry spacing out left the floor to look up to the black and wet hair hiding even darker irises. A playful smirk taking shape against its own will, forgetting to inform the browns to relax "One more" Kai emphasized breathless.
