Pairing

Pairing
(Sweet Embrace: Two)
August 2016
Kodiak, AK, United States
The first partner they try with him isn't his brother; idiotic but the instructors are hoping for a good random pair.
The girl's movements are sharp but not precise and Raleigh blocks every strike with a bored expression.
The second Cadet is much better but the fight devolves into biting and low hits.
By the time Yancy and Raleigh meet up again after the random test is over they start laughing even as their staves are cracking hard against each other.
Raleigh pins Yancy first but the fight eventually goes to Yancy, best two out of three. They grip each other's necks and press their sweaty foreheads together, giggling at the stunned faces of everyone else in the Kwoon. Raleigh grins, trips Yancy with a clever flick of his staff and Yancy just snorts at the victory.
Raleigh helps his brother up and the girl from the first match offers her hand awkwardly for him. He cocks his head to the side, not realizing his brother's doing the same thing.
"Good match."
"Oh. Here." He gives her a quick hug that barely lasts three seconds and she blushes pink. "Your hand looked painful that way. Hug was easier."
"Thanks," she whispers as she walks back over to her original partner with the blush turning a brighter pink as the other girl teases her lightly.
