When We Were Mercs (Jake Muller x Reader)

When We Were Mercs (Jake Muller x Reader) Pt5.

I walked over to my corner, and got into my usual fight stance.

Jake: "You ready, hot shot?"

(Y/N): " Ready.''

Jake: "... Go!"

We took off running towards the middle of the roof. Just before we met in the middle, I dropped to the ground and slid past him. After I was behind him, I kicked his left leg out from under him, knocking him to the ground. Before he could get up, I turned around, dropped to my knees and pinned him to the ground.

(Y/N): "Looks like that's one for me already. You'd better catch up there, hot stuff.''
He shoved me off him and into my back as he got on his feet.

Jake: "Hey, don't you worry abou- wait, what'd you call me?"

(Y/N): " You heard me.''
I shot him a wink and a smile. He smiled back, he had such a charming smile.

Jake: "I know i did. Just wanted to see if you'd say it again. As far as catching up, I'm built like a tank, just worry about yourself."
We went back to our corners.

Jake: "This time,we go on 3. Ready?"

(Y/N): " Ready.''

Jake: "1...2...3!"
We tore off running. I knew he wouldn't make the same mistake twice. I was gonna take him down from the front, straight tackle, easy knock-down. Then he faked me out. He went for a palm strike, or that's what he wanted me to think. When i went to dodge, he ran right past me, grabbed me by the waist and tackled me to the ground. He landed on top of me, with me face down.

(Y/N): "GOD, YOU'RE HEAVY! GET OFF ME!"
I heard him laugh.

Jake: "First you call me 'hot stuff', and now you tell me to get off you. Make up your mind, huh?"

(Y/N): " Right now? OFF!''

Jake: "Have it your way."
He stood up and I managed to get to my knees.

Jake: "Need a hand?"
He reached a hand down and helped me to my feet.

(Y/N): "Thanks. Okay, 1-1, next one to fall loses. Hope your hungry, Muller. ''

Jake: "You mean 'hot stuff'?"

(Y/N): " Shut up, jerk. "
I held back a laugh as I spoke.
We went to our corners one last time.

Jake: "1...2...3!"
I ran toward him as he pulled him arm in for an outward hit to my side. I slid past him, underneath his arm. When i was behind him, i gave a firm hit to the small of his back, making him lose his balance. I took the chance and knocked him to the ground, pinning his arms down.

(Y/N): "And 2-1. I win, hot shot. Shoulda seen that comin'.''
I stood up to walk away. Then i hear him take off running behind me. I turned around as he took my left leg out from under me and pinned my arms down.

Jake: "make that 2-2. Looks like a Both win, babe."
Of course, that's when another member of the platoon decided to come up to the roof.

Alex: "um, am I interrupting something?"

Jake climbed off me and up to his feet. I felt my face get hot, turning red.

Jake: "Not yet, no. Whatcha need, Alex?"

Alex: "The boss wants to talk to you two. One at a time though."

Jake: "Thanks."

He turned to me.

Jake: "You wanna take first run? He might go a little easier on you. We've had our.....issues in the past."
I nodded

(Y/N): "Let's go see what he wants.''
