The Gym: Afternoon

[sonofmogh.livejournal.com]

After the weekend Worf had, he was not in the mood for classes, work or any kind of social interaction.

So instead he's working out his frustrations on the punching bag in the gym. It's very possible that the punching bag may not survive the workout.

[Grumpy Klingon is particularly grumpy today. For one person in particular though open before that.]

Rose was - not in the best mood herself. The nights of trying to get back in touch with Lissa and completely failing to feel even a brush of the other girl's emotions were being to wear on her, putting Rose into an absolutely foul mood.

She headed into the gym, ready to beat a punching bag to death. It was, as always, a healthy way to cope.

The sight of Worf back though made her grin. "Hey," she called, realising the furious beating he was giving the punching bag wasn't a good sign. "When'd you get back?"

[sonofmogh.livejournal.com]

"Last night," he grunted, barely taking a breaking from pummeling. "Late."

"Shitty trip, huh," Rose commented, coming around to hold the bag for him.

[sonofmogh.livejournal.com]

"Very," he growled in frustration throwing several more punches but getting no satisfaction in the results. He pulled away with a grunt and mopped his brow. "I don't wish to speak of it."

Rose shrugged. "Fine by me," she said, stepping back as well. "Wanna try to hit someone that'll hit back?"

Worf gave her a sharp look. "I will not be pulling any punches today," he said bluntly. "I doubt you would want me as an adversary."

Rose glared at him, her pride insulted by the comment. "Fine by me. I can handle anything you dish out." She shrugged, smirking. "We'll see if you can do that too."

Yes, Rose, poke at the prickly Klingon.

Worf scowled back but he was too cross to respond in any polite chit-chat fashion.

"Fine," he grunted rudely and marched to the mat where he went into his starting pose. "Begin."

Rose was getting more comfortable in her fighting again, and instead of moving she set up opposite him, she charged towards him, jumping into a high feinting spin kick then lashed out with a side kick at his kne.

Worf went for the feint, ending up losing his footing with the kick to the knee. Not bothering to get fully to his feet, he snarled as he hopped into a crouch and attempted a leg sweep to knock Rose off balance.

She tumbled to the mat, not able to block the strike. He was too close to let her roll back to her feet so Rose reached up, throwing a knucklepunch towards the bundle of nerves in his thigh.

Worf let out a grunt of pain as the punch connected before using his foot to try and kick her away and then rising to his feet.

She rolled with the kick, coming to her feet a ways away before closing the distance slowly. "Nice," Rose commented, well-aware neither of them were in the mood for comments.

[sonofmogh.livejournal.com]

Worf grunted in return before throwing a feint followed by a quick jab to the head.

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

Her head snapped back, rocked by the punch.

Rose recovered in time to throw a hard jab - cross combination back towards him.

[sonofmogh.livejournal.com]

Worf managed to block the first punch, but got hit by the cross. Letting out a growl of frustration he attempted to grab Rose's arms and headbutt her.

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

Sometimes it was good being so short, and Rose threw her forearms up to break his hold. She tried to grab his shirt and shoulder and use the momentum from his headbutt to throw him over her hip.

[sonofmogh.livejournal.com]

Worf snarled as the was thrown to the ground but not before trying to grab on to Rose and drag her down with him.

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

Rose couldn't help a triumphant grin as she threw him, and she didn't even have a chance to try to get away from his grab. She went down punching blindly, trying to get a blow or two in before she ended up on the ground.

[sonofmogh.livejournal.com]

The punch glanced off the side of Worf's head. Growling, he rolled and tried to pin Rose to the ground.

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

And being short wasn't so good anymore. Rose snarled in annoyance, trying to push him off and finding herself pinned to the ground.

Dammit.

[sonofmogh.livejournal.com]

Worf growled back, breathing a little heavily from the sparring session.

And maybe it was because the last few days were horrible. Perhaps it was because of what happened the last time they sparred...

Worf suddenly leaned in to kiss Rose in a rather vicious manner.

It really shouldn't have been so much of a shock this time, but Rose hissed in surprise, her fingers closing on his shirt and digging into his shoulders as she kissed him back.
