#Munakata still mostly wins every bout but Fushimi keeps him on his toes

[ridiasfangirlings]

Work is really stressful. I imagine it must be for Scepter 4, especially for someone like Fushimi. Munakata's tried everything to get Fushimi to take breaks but to no avail. So he thinks one way to get Fushimi to "take a break" is to spar with him? Kind of like that scene in RoK Ep 1. But just the two of them and a lot more Blue? It might be a way to destress but also train or hone battle skills?

If it's like that then does Munakata cut Fushimi's clothes in half XD Thinking about it like episode one of ROK and imagine they don't just spar in the dojo but Munakata takes Fushimi to like the abandoned warehouse district or something so that they can have the kind of sparring where sometimes buildings get a little destroyed. Like say Fushimi has been working hard as usual and as it happens with the way work has been lately Fushimi's been pretty much stuck in the office staring at his computer for days. Normally even when things are hectic Fushimi's able to get out and move a little, whether it be on patrol or fighting Strains or at least something to get him out of that chair and get his blood pumping. Lately though he's been immersed in reports and paperwork and it seems to make him even more tired and irritable, constantly rubbing at his eyes and muttering under his breath.

Munakata is aware that Fushimi's overdoing things again but he also knows how reluctant Fushimi is to take breaks, Awashima's been trying to get him to go back to his room and rest for like an hour. Munakata decides to take matters into his own hands and that if Fushimi won't rest at least it might do him good to move around a bit. He asks Fushimi to accompany him somewhere, Munakata has his own business to attend to and he could use some company. Fushimi's a bit suspicious about this but if it’s an order then fine, he can finish the reports up afterward. Munakata smiles all pleased and has a squad member get one of the vans to drive them. As they're driving Fushimi asks where exactly Munakata needs to go anyway, they seem to be heading for the far outskirts of the city and what kind of business could Munakata even have this far out. Munakata smiles mysteriously and says it is business that can only be done in this part of the city and that Fushimi will understand once they've reached their destination.

They're dropped off at like this old abandoned construction site, Munakata tells the squad member driving to leave them here and come back in an hour or so. Fushimi wonders what the hell they're supposed to be doing in a place like this and Munakata draws his sword, saying he thought they would spar. Fushimi's all 'Here?' and Munakata says exactly, he thought Fushimi could use some exercise. Fushimi complains that they could have just done this at the dojo and Munakata says perhaps, but he thought this might be enjoyable. He wishes for Fushimi to take full advantage of whatever he feels will be helpful in their sparring – the terrain, his knives, he may use anything at his disposal. Munakata will of course be doing the same, though he will be taking advantage of the Blue power to shield them both so that no one gets injured. Fushimi mutters that this is a stupid idea but he's actually seeming somewhat intrigued and Munakata smiles triumphantly, suggesting that Fushimi draw his sword and they can begin.

No sooner has Fushimi pulled out his sword than Munakata's immediately charging at him, Fushimi's caught off guard and like ducks behind a steel beam. Munakata notes that Fushimi seems to be getting the idea and Fushimi can't stop himself from smiling as he says he won't go easy on Munakata, Munakata says he hopes not and encourages Fushimi to treat this as a strategic exercise as well as a physical one. Soon the two of them are like chasing each other down through half-fnished buildings and jumping onto rooftops, just using the entire space as their training ground and despite Fushimi's complaints he's clearly enjoying this chance to let loose and challenge himself. When they finally finish Fushimi's exhausted but not in an unpleasant way, imagine he falls asleep on the drive back leaning against Munakata's shoulder and Munakata strokes his hair a little, pleased that he finally got Fushimi to rest after all.
