Fight Me (Val)

[Rileigh Cole]

Rileigh was supposed to be training with her daggers, but there was something so satisfying about punching something with her fists. Like it was more intimate than having a weapon between her and her foe. She was going at it in the area with the punching bag. She knew she wasn't as good as the Heracles girl running around camp, but Ri thought she was comparable. But after punching it for a while, she decided she needed to go at it with something or someone who would actually punch back.

She stepped away from the punching bag and looked around the arena for a worthy foe. That's when her eyes landed on him. He was a good foot taller than Rileigh, but she was always up for a challenge. She stormed up to him while shouting to him, "Hey you! Show me what you're made of." When she she got closer to him, she threw a punch in his direction.

Most of his siblings he'd known from four years ago before he'd left Camp were gone and instead there were new ones and honestly, he didn't like them. It was good that he was back, at least he could have claimed the position of the cabin leader for himself as he was 1) the oldest one in the cabin, 2) the most experienced fighter and 3) the cabin'd gone downhill without him, they needed him. Valentine was in the arena today; it wasn't as if he hadn't trained outside of the Camp, he hadn't only trained, he'd fought for his survival but his techniques had gone overboard. Lately he'd just tried to cause as much damage as possible. Which wasn't a bad tactic, but he could do better. He was training with a short sword when the son of Ares heard a voice behind him. 
When he turned around, he laughed at what he saw, because it was a petite brunette who had challenged him. Apparently her weapons of choice were her fists, so before she attacked he laid his sword on the side. He blocked her first punch with his forearm and gods, it was stronger than he'd expected but still he could handle. "Are you serious, kiddo?", Valentine asked a smug grin on his face before he bluffed to go for her head with his punch but actually aimed at her stomach pit. It wasn't the nice way, but afterall fights never were.

[Rileigh Cole]

This guy pretty good to block Rileigh's shot with little to no warning. She smirked to herself as she held her hands up to her face to show that she was ready for him and whatever he could bring. But then he felt the need to insult her. "Kiddo?" she screamed at him as she lowered down her fists. "Who are you calling kiddo, you giant."

She ducked her head as he aimed for her, but he faked her out and landed a punch right in her gut. Air was forced out of her lungs quickly as she doubled over. Her body ached and burned, but she still straightened back up and held her fists by her face again. "Oh," she chuckled as she moved to circle him. "Like to play dirty, huh? I'll give you dirty." She aimed for a series of punches right at his chest.

A smug smirk lit up Valentines face, when the girl screamed at him. "Giant? Is your birdbrain too occupied by failing to fight to find a real insult?", he asked in a mocking tone that was only there to put the girl on edge even more. She clearly wasn't failing too fight, her punches were strong but she seemed to be kind of unorganized. Whatever, just made it easier for him. In a way it was impressive that she just straightened herself up again when he landed his hit, but on the other hand it wasn't suprising at all given that she was a demigod. There had to be a reason why she still was alive.

For a second he didn't pay full attention and didn't block her punches. He took everything back he'd said previously but only in his mind; the smug smirk stayed on his face even though his eyes flashed with anger for a moment before he raised his arms and tried to catch ahold of her fists. He just pushed them aside and didn't punch her for now. Maybe it was best to just wait and see what she'd do next... "That was a damn nice massage", he stated even though the spots where she'd hit him were burning slightly.

[Rileigh Cole]

This guy was getting on Rileigh's nerves with his constant verbal attacks. He managed to land one good in her gut, but that was such a lucky shot. She kept her fists high as she glared him down.

"The only one with a birdbrain is you, Big Bird," she snipped back before she landed that series of punches on his stomach. She managed to get a couple of punches in before he started pushing away her fists. He made it seem so easy and that got Rileigh madder.

"Damn nice massage?" she spat at him as she tightened up her fists. "Too damn bad that I need to punch that smug smirk off of your face." She winded up her right fist before letting it fly towards his face.

It was fun to watch her explode. "Which cabin are you from? Aphrodite?" Valentine had no intention to stop insulting her... He wasn't even really insulting. It was teasing. "Pretty but that's about it." He laughed at her, when she said that she'd have to punch his smile off of his face and took a small step aside so she only hit his cheek instead of his nose. He didn't really want his nose to be broken. His head flew back but he managed not to stumble after her strike and looked at her cooly. 

"That's it? Watch it, you could hurt someone", he said and quickly pulled his shirt over his head and tossed it aside to where his sword was laying. "Time to get started." He looked at the girl for a moment, it was unfair that she was so short, there wasn't much of her to hit. Eventually, after considering for a second he went for her shoulder and then for her stomach again. He didn't care if he'd hit his target, she wasn't a serious foe, at least not for him.

[Rileigh Cole]

"Ha!" Rileigh laughed in the boy's face as he insulted her at least tried. "You wish. They want to be half the demigod I am." She frowned a bit when she hit his cheek instead of square in the face like she wanted. She put her hands up and moved to circle around him, before she stopped in her tracks. He had taken his shirt off. It was a glorious sight in front of her.

She barely managed to dodge his punches before she lowered her fists and walked up to him. "Gods, you're hot," she said before reached up to grab the back of his head. "You need to kiss me right now." She didn't wait for him to say anything before she went onto her tiptoes to crash her lips onto his.

Valentine was used to girls telling him that he was hot and honestly, he knew himself. He wasn't superficial, he wouldn't care if he wasn't a good-looking guy but being one came with a lot of advantages. But this was new, at least in this surrounding. Usually girls would only come at him like this, when he was at a bar and they'd had a couple drinks. "Listen, I don't take orders from anyo-" But then she was kissing him. 

He shrugged it off and leaned into the kiss; she was so much shorter than him that had to bow down his head a bit but Gods, it was worth it. Placing his hands on her waist, ignoring the annoyed Campers around them, he did how he'd been told. Somehow this fight had been supposed to end differently, hadn't it?

[Rileigh Cole]

Hot boy was a decent fighter, but he was an excellent kisser. This made Rileigh smirk against his lips as she placed her free hand on his chest and curled her fingers into his bare skin. She felt his hands on her waist as he ducked in closer to her so she didn't have to be on her tiptoes as much and she pressed up against him as they kissed.

After a few moments, she pulled away from the boy's lips with a bit of a seductive look on her face. She patted his chest before she pulled away from his grasp. "I'll see you around," she said as she winked at him before turning around and walking away from him towards the exit of the arena.

[Deleted]

The kissing was better than the fighting and it was rare for Valentine to have thoughts like that. He looked at the girl when she pulled away and didn't comprehend what she said but suddenly she turned around and left. Just left, leaving him to just stand there and not sure what to do now. This had never happened to him. Girls didn't stop making out with him, to tell him that she'd see him around.

"Hey, hang on a moment!", he called after her but then decided not to follow her because that looked desperate. Valentine wasn't desperate, there were other girls who wanted him and he could have any of them if he wanted to so he didn't see a problem. "Screw you", he numbled under his breath before he picked up his sword again and watched the space where she'd disappeared.
