Love On Fire

Attention

Over the next week Matt and I have been sparring non stop, 'not' using my powers. But on the side I've been working on them, secretly using them when sparring with him.

Changing into my suit, I grab onto my spear  snapping it open, it's sharp edge cutting the air.

A baton grips around my neck, pulling back slightly until the back of my neck leans against a hard chest.

"How bout we do something different today?" Matt whispers into my ear, his smirk being noticeable through his tone.

"And that is?" I gravel, my voice strained from the baton pressing onto my neck.

"Your powers." He whispers, loosening his grip slightly unknowingly.

I quickly jerk backwards, causing his grip to completely let go of his baton, finding its way to my hand as I now pin him to the wall of the abandoned boxing gym.

"I don't need my powers to beat you." I smirk, teasing him as I lean close to his lips, grazings them with mine.

"Cocky now are we?" Matt chuckles, his smirk stretching.

"Learned from the best." I smirk.

"Yet...you're not me." He jokes before violently pushing me backwards by kicking me square in the stomach.

I stumble back, losing my grip on my spear.

Matt's smile is etched under his devil mask, his figure standing tall.

In matter of seconds I run towards him, throwing punches and kicks, which he mostly blocks.

He slides his foot on the floor, as a way of tripping my but I jump over it, grabbing his arm and twisting it behind him, making his whole body spin in pain.

Once his side is exposed I kick him square in the ribs making him double forward. Seeing my chance I slide my foot on the floor, tripping him as he falls to the ground, smacking his back harshly.

Pinning my knee on his neck, I breath out quick breaths as I shake my hair out of my face.

Matt's chest rises and falls under my knee, catching his breath.

"Looks like I surpassed the teacher." I say through a smirk, leaning down closer to him.

He chuckles drily before pushing my leg off his neck, twisting us so now he pins me to the floor, his legs straddling my side and a hand wrapped around my throat.

"Never except victory until you know your opponent won't get back up." He lectures, not knowing that I already saw the near future and saw this exact action and words.

"I know." I say proudly before craning his hand backwards and head butting him to distract him enough to grab my spear.

I twirl it in my hand and press it under his chin, the sharp edge being held at the right amount of pressure to not slit his throat.

"You've advanced in your powers." He says with a smile, putting his arms up in defeat. I drop the spear from under his chin, twirling it around my arm before settling it into the strap on my back.

"Yeah, can see every move of the near future if I truly want to." I say proudly, giving him my hand to help him up from the floor.

He grasps my hand, groaning as he gets up.

"You've been practicing behind my back." He states with a neutral voice.

"Like you didn't know." I scoff with a smirk. He shrugs his shoulders in agreement before grimacing and holding his collarbone.
