Lockwood and Co One-Shots

Practice

Lucy's POV

I swung my rapier imbedding it deep in Esmerelda's shoulder. I pulled once, twice, on the third pull the rapier came free. I stumbled back a few paces before I regained my balance.

"Nice move Luce. What's it called?" Lockwood was leaning up against the door frame.

"French Half-Twist. Why?" I say getting out of my fencing stance.

"No no don't let me interrupt! I just want to watch for a bit." Lockwood pushes himself off the frame and takes a seat on one of the chairs in the corner. I smirk.

"Well I could use a sparring partner. I don't suppose you'd like to?" I flick my rapier back and forth, almost taunting him. Lockwood grinned.

"Well it would be a crime to make you spar on you own. I'll help." Lockwood picks up his rapier and stands across from me. We both take a stance. Lockwood lunges so fast I almost don't follow his movement. At the last second I twist to one side and he flys past me. I slice upward and block his oncoming blade. I grin.
"Tired?" I ask as I dodge another swipe and roll between his legs.
"Not even remotely. You?" I swipe at him and he doges. He swings his sword over his head and locks mine into place.
"Never better." I try to shift my blade but Lockwood has me caught. Lockwood grins and twists my sword left. I lose my grip and the blade slams into the ground. I take a step back. "Touché." I say quietly. Lockwood puts his sword down.
"Well done Luce. Most people would have made a ton of mistakes. You did well!" He grins. I smile too.
"Thanks Lockwood". I massage my wrist. Lockwood grins wider. 

"Lockwood why are you looking at me like that?" I ask as I take a seat to catch my breath.

"You know why Lucy. The loser in a sparring match in this house has to do one thing for the winner no matter what it is." I groan and pull myself to my feet. Lockwood wasn't cruel when it came to this. I look him in the eye.

"Okay what do I have to do?" I say it almost as a challenge. Lockwood snakes a hand around my waist. Theres a something devilish in the back of his eye.

"You have to kiss me!" He announces. I start to blush but I fight it down. Then an idea comes. I lean forward..... And kiss him on the cheek. I squirm out of his death grip.

"Be more specific next time Lockwood!" I smirk. He lunges forward and pins me against the wall.

"You make me nuts. You know that?" I grin at him as he says this.

"Yeah I know." Then purely out of instinct I kiss him on the mouth.
