A Return and a Debut! Nightingale vs. Ushiwaka

First hit landed perfectly, because of course it did. His lips curled up even further into the smirk as he heard that groan. Perhaps he was being cocky, or maybe he was just figuring that he had done a sufficient amount of damage to the other (likely the former), but he tried to press the advantage with that knee drop and failed miserably. His knee slammed into the mat roughly, letting out a sharp hiss from the white-haired man.

Which left him perfectly open for the other's attack. Before he can even fully recover, he was tackled down onto the mat, landing perfectly on his stomach with a grunt, before the other locks his arms around his neck and pull him up into that full nelson. He groaned for a moment, shifting to try and test Ushiwaka's hold. "Mm... Much better, but could still use some work," he remarked, before he moved to press himself backwards into the other man. His ass would press into Roy's crotch as he moved to arch his back into him, trying to get his knees under himself. That way, if he managed it, he could move to bend over suddenly and try to flip Roy over him like a fulcrum to break the hold.

Roy chuckles under his breath when Nic is still not satisfied by his hold even though he has him trapped. "No? Lets try this then" he tells him as he kicks his feet and wiggles his toes against the mat to try and dig his way under Nics thighs so he could try to add a bodyscissors. While he was trying to do this Nic would start to rise up on his knees which would make his plan easier to accomplish. Roys ankles lock around Nics waist nicely to keep him in place.

But then once Nic is on his knees he bends forward suddenly and nearly throws Roy off his back if it was not for his bodyscissors. His near loss was too close for comfort which told him that this move didnt hurt enough if Nic was able to move around like that. Roy flexes his arms harder trying to punish Nics neck with the nelson. "How about now?"

Nic grunted out as he felt Roy's legs wrapping around his torso. His lips pressed together for a moment, a grimace replacing the grin that he'd had mere moments prior. Even trying to pitch himself forward before Ushiwaka locked in the hold, he was unable to shake him off of himself. "Nngh... Much better," he managed to utter, shifting in the other's grip as he stood up. He could feel the pressure on his shoulders, his neck, and now his torso. Ushiwaka was impressive, that much was clear. He could feel that gorgeous frame of his pressing against his back, and he let out a low grunt to himself.

But there was still one more thing he could do. With that, he moved, pulling himself forward as if he was about to try and throw Roy forward again -- but instead, threw his entire body backwards, aiming to slam Roy down into the mat with his full body weight.

Roy was happy to hear that he had gotten his opponents validation now. He held on tight and hard to the nelson to punish Nics neck as much as possible while he could. Nic was only a few inches taller than him so the height difference wasnt a problem, but he was more worried about the weight difference. This worry would soon become a real life problem when he pulls forward trying to throw Roy off and he does his best to stay on, but then Nic starts going backwards instead.

Roy tries to dig his feet into the ground but Nic has more power than he does and he trips him up. Roy falls onto his back with Nic slamming on top of him with the 200 pounds of force. Roy's nelson hold is broken as he groans and pushes at Nics back to shove him to the side.

Oh, if Nic knew that he had made the other happy with his validation, he would have taunted him and teased him relentlessly. Thankfully, even if Roy had made a face or smile, Nic couldn't see it from his position. He grunted as the other tightened the grip, only to throw himself backwards -- and get him to release the hold entirely. He could feel Ushiwaka pushing at him, trying to get him off, and he moved to relent -- but not before throwing an elbow back and into his opponent's side, to try and keep him stunned.

He rolled off of Roy with that, moving to pop himself up to his feet quickly and roll his neck and shoulders out. "That was a good one, but if you wanna get that close again, you're gonna have to take me out to dinner." That flirty tease came out easily, biding his time until Roy started to get up. As soon as Roy was up on a knee or both, he would rush forward, jumping up at the last moment to try and hit him in the head with his knee in a shining wizard.

After pushing Nic off of him Roy rolls onto his hands and knees so he could get up. He wants to keep his composure but Nics flirting comment makes him chuckle by catching him off guard. This means hes slower in getting back to his feet and gives Nic more time to set himself up. Roy can see Nic coming and shoots his arms up crossed over his head in defense to try and block his attack.

Nics knee slams into Roys forearm with huge force that carries through his arm and smacks his arm into his forehead. The momentum knocks Roy off balance even though he has an arm on the mat already and he lands on his back once again. His head stings a little bit in both the front and the back and he rubs at his forehead with a groan after feeling a bit dizzy and stunned. At least it wasnt as bad as a full-on hit he would tell himself to try to stay optimistic.

Oh, Nic got a chuckle out of the man for the flirt! He most certainly considered that a win, in his book. Perhaps he'd press further a bit on that. Honestly, he chalked up the slowness with which it took to get back to his feet to the moves he's already dished out, rather than that he managed to distract him that bad. Besides, the other was still able to lift his arms up to block the move, to keep himself from getting the full brunt of it -- but it was still likely bad enough to rattle Roy. Sure enough, the man toppled over onto his back, leaving him open.

Rather than push his advantage, he instead moved to drop himself down, ass first, onto Roy's chest before he could recover much. His hands reached out quickly to try and pin the other's wrists above his head. His knees rested on the other's shoulders, and his shins pressed into his sides, his crotch and taut abs hovering dangerously close to Ushiwaka's face. His lips pressed together, as he gestured for the ref to start counting. Not that he expected Ushiwaka to be down for the count this early on -- he hoped he wouldn't be, at least -- but as a tactic to try and get more into Roy's head.

Roy groans as Nic slams down on his chest with his full weight and it makes him cough as well. Nic grabs his hands and pins them above his head while he rested his knees on his shoulders like a schoolyard bully. "Really?" he asks and acts unimpressed even though it amuses him on the inside. Nics body is very much in his face right now and Roy has to admit hes impressed by his body and the work that must have gone into it. Any other situation he might have flirted back with him. The referee comes in to start a pin count thanks to Nics gesture but Roy will save them some time by kicking up and making his shoulder separate from the ground before a count can be started.

Roy slides his hands down and tries to slide his fingers together with Nics to hold hands. He hoped the sudden change in affection would throw Nic for a loop so that he could surprise him. Roy kicks his legs up and spreads them apart so that he can try to catch Nics head between his thighs for a tight headscissors. He would then try to pull Nic down while keeping his hands held so that he couldnt use his arms to defend himself from it.

"Yeah, really. What, you don't like the view?" Nic teased, flexing that frame for him just to keep the flirt going. He wasn't known as the Heartbreaker for nothing, after all. Nic didn't even get to the first count before Roy manages to break the pin, which was honestly impressive. It's a shame that he didn't get anything more than "really" out of the man before he got free -- c'mon, he was flirting hard at him, and the guy was letting it slide off of him like it was nothing! If he was straight, he should at least be getting offended, and if he wasn't, he should be getting a bit more than just that.

That is, until he felt Ushiwaka's hands intertwine with his own. Sure enough, the move caught him off guard, a light surprised expression crossing his face. Just long enough for the man to kick his legs up and catch Nic in that headscissor and tug him down, eliciting a loud "NNGH--!" as he fell to the mat, his hands still twined with Roy's. "Oh... I mean, if you wanted me between your legs, you just needed to ask," he remarked.

Roy had nothing to say when Nic asked him if he liked the view because he didnt want to tip his cards yet. The flexing over him was a nice show too so it was hard to stay stonefaced. Luckily his headscissors works great and Nic is pulled back into his lap. Roy crushes his thighs together and squeezes Nics head like a watermelon in the middle of his flirty sentence too.

Since he is still holding onto Nics hands he raises them up and then tries to slam them down into Nics gut to make him punch himself. It might not work out so great as he planned since Nic could still resist him but he wanted to try anyway. "But if I asked, that would ruin the surprise!"
