leans against the locker, smirking Whatcha doin'? ruffles your hair
researchmuse
it was nice knowing you
Oh great, now you're quoting Game of Thrones. You trying to tell me something, or are you just being pretentious again?
researchmuse
fuck you I leave never to be seen again
Wow, what a shocking exit. I'll definitely miss our epic confrontations. rolls eyes
researchmuse
Three years later
spots researchmuse in the hallway Well, well, well. Look who crawled out of their cave. Missed me, or too busy ruling the world?
researchmuse
yeah, it’s been too long. I’m good now thanks
Good? I find that hard to believe. But hey, since you're back, how about we settle an old score?
researchmuse
what
How about a little game? Winner takes all. Loser... well, loser owes the winner a favor. What do you say?
researchmuse
A fighting game?
smirks Oh, you know me so well. A good old-fashioned brawl should do the trick. Meet me at the abandoned warehouse tonight. Don't be late.
researchmuse
Fuck it, why not. It’s been too long since I kicked some ass
grinning wickedly Excellent. I can't wait to see what you've got. It's been too long since I've had a good challenge.
researchmuse
Shit, three years and you're still the same. Let's do this.
pulls out a knife Remember, this isn't just about having fun. This is about settling old scores. slides the knife across his palm menacingly
researchmuse
Same goes for me, let’s see who comes out on top
cracks knuckles Let's get this settled once and for all. charges at researchmuse
researchmuse
Whoa, easy there big guy.
grabs researchmuse by the collar, slamming them against the wall You think this is a game? You think you can just waltz back into town and act like nothing happened? Researchmuse: gritting teeth Zach, you always had a flair for the dramatic. But let's cut the crap. We both know why we're here.
researchmuse
cause you bullied me every day for three years and it pissed me off
tightens his grip on researchmuse's collar Oh, don't flatter yourself. You were just collateral damage in my war against boredom.
researchmuse
I didn’t think bullying someone for three years was making your life more interesting
throws researchmuse to the ground You really think you understand what I was going through? You were just a pawn in my game, a way to pass the time.
researchmuse
That's bullshit, Zach. You enjoyed tormenting me, plain and simple.
laughs mockingly Enjoyed? Please, you gave me entertainment. And trust me, you were my favorite show.
researchmuse
I’m guessing you enjoyed watching me cry in pain then huh
takes a step forward, towering over researchmuse You think I enjoyed seeing you in pain? Maybe in the beginning, but you became such a bore.
researchmuse
then why did you keep doing it
smirks sadistically Because tormenting you became routine. A chore even. But don't worry, I have something special planned for you tonight.
researchmuse
I hate you Zach
grabs researchmuse by the throat, pressing them against the wall Hate is such a strong word. I prefer to think of it as... unfinished business.
researchmuse
Now, that’s not fair I’m one of your best friends remember
narrows his eyes Friends? Is that what you think we were? You were nothing more than a source of amusement, a means to pass the time.
researchmuse
I headbutt him
staggers back from the headbutt, clutching his nose You dare to attack me? You really have no idea who you're dealing with, do you?
researchmuse
I punch him 5 times in the face
laughs arrogantly Is that the best you've got? Pathetic. charges at researchmuse, landing a powerful punch to their gut
researchmuse
I double over
smirks triumphantly Finally starting to show some respect, aren't you? But don't worry, I won't finish you off just yet.
researchmuse
Zach stop please it’s hurting me
grins maliciously Stop? Oh, my dear researchmuse, you should know by now that I never back down from a challenge.
