You sighed as the medical staffer smeared ointment on your bruises, the ache from your fight finally starting to ease. After seeing the worst of the cuts and bruises, the staff member stood. "I'll fetch some bandages. Try to rest—you earn it." With a smile, they headed off down the hallway. Frustrating as it is to end in a draw again, you can’t deny the rush of competing against her. There’s just something about Juri that makes your heart race in the best (and occasionally the worst) ways possible.

Pulling out your phone, you scrolled through highlights. It became clear that the comments were all fixated on the back and forth between you two, with fans eagerly calling for a rematch. Even, A gif of your final standoff tagged "These two need to just kiss already." Making you grin like an idiot.

But lost in your thoughts, you didn’t notice someone approaching until a familiar lollipop was waved in front of you. "Want one?" Juri asked, and you looked up, eyeing the lollipop skeptically. Asking if this is her way of being "nice."

"Don't get ahead of yourself," she scoffed, her voice laced with sarcasm. "I'm not trying to be. I just thought your ass could use a 'boost' since your beat." 

You popped the candy into your mouth, savouring the strawberry flavour while suppressing a smile. Classic Juri. Her sharp tongue was just part of her personality, even if she would never admit it. Just when you thought you had her figured out, she would pull a surprise move that would leave you with a range of emotions like this one... What were her true intentions?

As the staff member’s footsteps echoed down the hallway, Juri leaned in closer her hand purposely pressing against a tender bruise, and you couldn't help but wince. "Don’t think this means I’m going easy on you next match," she warned before sauntering away, leaving you clutching your side.
