Split Ends (BBS×Reader)

32(Panda)

I smiled as the keys were dropped into my hands, "Thank you."
"No problem, just be careful with her," Cassidy said with a smirk. We stood next to my car as leaned against the hood, "Why don't you go take it for a spin?"
Part of me wanted to, it's been a while since I've driven, the guys always taking the wheel before I got the chance. I almost said yes but a notification sounded, "oh-" checking my menu to see it be Panda. "Sorry," I completely forgot about my training session with him today, "I got plans with Panda. I'll make sure to take her on a spin soon."
Something flickered across her face but my mind was drawn back to the constant notifications. Panda spamming me.
Looking back to her I smiled, hugging her before either of us were prepared. I shocked myself but decided to embrace it, pulling her against me harder, "Thank you. Seriously."

When I pulled away her eyes were on mine, slightly watery but I expected it to be from the lights, "See ya later?"
"Yea..."
I turned on my heel and walked to the stairs, running up to the doorway to quickly punch in the code. Once the doors slid open I sprinted down the hall, passing Delirious's workshop and getting to the gym room. Its glass walls showing my gym partner sitting with our chat menu open.
Once I stepped inside, Panda looked up from his seat with a smile, "About time!"
With a smile I slid off my jacket, "Lets get to work!" my black tank top matching the black sport leggings. He wore a white shirt and black shorts, "What first?"

"Well," I walked over to the large foam block, dragging it in the center of the room, "Jump over it."
Panda smiled, "Really?"
It was up to my knees, and about two feet thick.
"Not a problem is it?"
"I thought you were going to challenge me," Panda stepped over it, one foot going over at a time. Rolling my eyes I tisked, "Jump over it, both feet."
With a short laugh, he did so. His feet causing a loud thump as they came down the other side.
"See, that's something we are gonna work on."
He sighed, "What? I did what you asked-"
I stepped across from him, "Watch," my feet lept over the top and landed silently on the other side, "now try."

Its been an hour, Panda wasn't seeming to grasp any of the concept. Honestly I felt bad though, my agility and stealth was at an all time high so having to explain basics were hard. Seeing as how I haven't had to deal with any of these issues for almost a year.

Panda started to grow frustrated, "Enough of this. My turn."
"Okay, okay..." I sighed and handed him his water bottle.
He started walking towards the floor mats that were coiled up in the corner, easily he pulled them out and spread them. Soon a good portion of the gym was covered, "We are going to move to fighting today. First," he pulled out some tape, "show me what you got."

With a small smile I started wrapping my hands, making sure to align my knuckles correctly. "Bring it on."
He smiled, "One rule, no blipping out on me, no stealth attacks. This is purely one on one combat training."
I stood across from him, getting into a basic fighting stance with my hands near my chest. Before any warning, he swung my way. I ducked under to the left and used my right fist to hit him in the gut. Quickly bouncing away with a smirk, "That it slow poke-?!"

Before I could realize it, he was in my face, his hands knocking me out of balance. Panda used my fall to his advantage and spun me, pressing my back to his chest and falling with me. I let out a sharp gasp as his other hand went around my head. We sat on the padded floor, my hands trying to desperately pull his arms away from my neck to stop the head lock. In full panic mode, I blipped out of his arms, turning back fast and landing a swift punch towards his unexpecting face. Panda hollered out and laid out on the mat, his hands flying up to his nose.

I panted and brushed away sweaty strands of hair, "You fucking liar!"
There was no possible way he could have snuck up on me like that. I would've noticed him coming towards me. He had to have been lying about his skill earlier, tricking me into believing his lack of agility/stealth.
"Teaches you to sneak up on me," I wiped my lower lip.
"You cheated," was all he said from the floor. His voice slightly muffled from his hand covering half his face. I shook my head, "You played me all day, so you deserved that hit," I chuckled and flexed my hand, red catching my eye. A small red smudge was over my knuckle and the back of my hand.
"Wait, shit. Panda," I walked over to drop on my knees, his eyes were squeezed shut. "You okay? Let me see," I gently grabbed his hand and attempted to pull it away from his nose.
