Ruzik R.
Lapidus Otto
Taking a deep breath Lapidus then sprung forward with as much enthusiasm and speed he could muster before running dead straight at the redhead. Once approaching close enough the boy excitedly leaped upwards before throwing himself back down onto the incubus. "Bring it!"
Ruzik wasn’t overly impressed at how the strange boy thought to defend Kou, at least in a very slight sense. What was it to him how he addressed the girl? Great. Not only was the mage getting hugs from his ex but now he was feeling fond enough to support the rabbit, or whatever. Lapidus even had the confidence to state he had what it took to be his mage – did he? And he even questioned whether Ruzik was good enough to be his demon? He was certainly confident enough.
Ruzik liked that. The boy wasn’t slow in his approach and he neither shied away from a bit of fun. Oh goodie, someone to actually amuse the incubus and maybe challenge him – not that Kou didn’t, but he knew the rabbit too well and this mage was perfectly new to him in every sense. ”Bring it on then, dear mage of mine.”
As the boy dropped to him Ruzik quickly sidestepped the strike, spinning his body round as he let the mage fly past him and promptly grasped at the ever annoying tail that swished so care-freely. Nabbing it, he halted the boy mid-flight and forced his body backwards with a forceful tug, before setting the mage to his feet next to him. ”Next time don’t just run at me so carelessly, or else you might just lose that precious tail of yours.” He teased with a grin and leaned in closer to the pointy-eared boy, eying his odd little details that formed his face. The boy truly was odd in a very subtle way, which intrigued the incubus.
”Want to try that again?” Ruzik whispered, yanking the tail and forcing the boy to edge just an inch closer to the demon. ”Or will you just roll over?” Twitching his eyebrows mischievously the incubus grinned wickedly, raising a hand as he grabbed the mage by the neck and forced his head down towards the ground. Still gripping onto his tail Ruzik pulled upwards a little more on it, attempting to tip the boy over through his self-believed superior strength. ”Bow down and then bow-out mage, I’ve won this.”
The demon taunted and then applied more pressure as he forced the boys upper body downwards further, however what truly mattered was getting his back flat down against the ground – as it would please the demon to no end to see his mage laying so helplessly. ”Try and wriggle your way out of this – you’re so weak and daft I’m surprised I didn’t pin you down instantly. Now, stop resisting and drop!”
Lapidus went through a whirlwind of motions as his body lunged itself at the demon and - - without really thinking of what to do next it was no surprise that the demon glided out the way - - as the mage uncontrollably swept past the redhead and almost thought he’d land face first into the ground. But he was stopped suddenly, feeling his world spin around him as the boy was then placed upright next to his foe.
"T-That’s not what my tail’s for! Thank you very much." The mage frowned just a tad with an emerging pale pink blush - - a natural reaction whenever his tail got touched suddenly, especially so forcefully as the demon had done. Without even the chance to blink Lapidus felt his whole upper body plunged downwards towards the ground beneath him, his tail however going skyward as he felt his body tipping. ’Such a sneaky demon.’ He mused with a smile, listening as the redhead said this and that and whatnot else.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah and what else? Stop being so demon’ish for once and just chill - - we’re havin’ fun ain’t we?" Hoping to silence the demon and cease his ranting or whatever you’d call it, Lapidus went with the flow and allowed his body to ease downwards. But once reaching an appropriate level he sank his hands down into the ground and let his legs swing above his upturned body. Swaying backwards his back bent a little and he threw his legs to one side, stretching them to their furthest length before he sneaked a peek at the redhead from his view down below. "Hope yah’ don’t mind."
With a hint of laughter he brought both his feet forward with as much force as he could build up and landed them into the incubus’s forehead. Propelled backwards, Lapidus was flung in the opposite direction as his lower half bounced back down and landed him to his feet, his upper body springing forward as his view returned to its normal upright position.
Ruzik nearly gasped as he felt the force to his temple. After all that mocking the boy proved to be troublesome, as the incubus was thrown backwards and his grip on the tail was lost altogether. But, as his body was thrown backwards the redhead put a hand to the ground and propped his being upwards and over as the incubus gracefully flipped himself all the way over and landed back onto his feet. ”Nice try.”
Lapidus grinned to the demon. "I’m not kinda’ done yet." Hastily, the mage sprang into action and threw himself into the direction of the demon. Smirking, he purposely ran and then dodged the redhead as the boy moved himself round the shark-boy and hurried around in a small circle to distract him. After a few rounds Lapidus stretched his tail and aimed it for the demons wrist as it quickly curled itself round it and tightly knotted itself in place. "Here we go!"
Ruzik frowned and tried to wriggle his wrist free but to little avail. "H-Hang on a minute what are you doing!" Keeping his firm footing the incubus couldn’t even guess as to what the boy would do next.
Once the demon was caught Lapidus kicked his speed into another gear as the mage sprung himself about the small grass area as if filled with bundles of energy secretly, which was sort of true in a way. As he ran the boy then suddenly leaped into the air as he threw his head beneath his body and launched his lower half straight into the air - - his tail naturally following in suit as he catapulted the redhead with it and carried the demon round the whirlwind of air as they soared for a brief moment. Upon landing, Lapidus landed squarely on his feet and turned to look at the dragged demon on his tail.
Feeling particularly nauseous for a few moments the redhead did not look at all good, swaying a little as he seemingly landed on both feet albeit he wasn’t so sure how long he’d remain standing due to how shaky his legs felt. Actually wanting to sit down, Ruzik fought the feeling and glared to the mage. ”Right, enough.”
Spreading his hands out to balance him a little the redhead then grabbed the tail that was still wrapped round his wrist, grabbing another part of the tail with his free hand before he began to pull the mage closer to him. One tug at a time, the boy was slowly slid over to him as the incubus gave the other boy a sharky-grin. ”I-I can’t believe I-I didn’t think of it before.” He said, though the slight dizziness still bothered him from the unsuspected throw!
Baring his teeth more clearly the incubus snatched a piece of the tail and held it to his mouth, not even waiting a second longer as he bit down on the tail that had irked him so much. His sharky-teeth pierced the tail and left several marks in their place once reopening his mouth. Little spots of blood were visible against his teeth as well as the tail from where it came from. And, just to taunt the mage further the incubus then ran his tongue against his teeth and licked up the small dabbles of blood.
Lapidus froze on the spot as he stood and felt the piercing of his flesh as well as sadly witnessing it before his very eyes. ’The demon bit him!’ Noticing the blood only added pain to his already hurting wound, as the mage sucked it up and refused to cry over his beloved tail nearly becoming someone’s snack! Instead as if flipping a switch the boy’s attitude changed in seconds as he glared at the redhead.
"Drop it - - SHARK BOY." Referring to his tail that was still in the possession of the redhead, Lapidus walked right up to the demon and was almost nose-to-nose with him with a look of determination. "Don’t make me ask you again."
”What you going to do?” Ruzik replied and pushed his luck a little, hoping to get a response from the boy. ”Oh, and don’t you ever call me that again, you dog.”
Lapidus grinned and tilted his head to the side as his eyelids dropped slightly, his gaze never leaving that of the demons. Using one hand he moved it up against the redhead’s that held his tail, weaving his fingers through his before gripping his hand fully altogether. ”Let’s go, fair an’ square. Let’s see who’s stronger - - better guy wins when he pushes the weaker dude over, cool?”
Grinning, Ruzik dropped the tail with his other hand and quickly grasped hold of the boys other one, raising it until both their hands were just about eye-level with each other. ”Fine by me, but you’ll be down way before I ever will be.” With that said, the incubus used all his upper body strength and forced it against the mage as he held tightly onto his hands and tried to force the boy backwards.
The mage merely gave a quick nod before feeling the demon pushing him back a few steps, and in slight panic the boy dropped his head down and forced himself forward. Parting his legs a little Lapidus used all the energy he had left into forcing the demon back, however by appearances the pair seemed equally matched. "I-I’m gonna win! Haha!" He said with a tired breath and peered up a little to his opponent who’s hands were clasped tightly around his own.
”Like hell, just back down before I throw you down!” The demon huffed back and forced all his strength into pushing the mage back – though neither seemed to be give way to the other. The boys were so set on pinning each other that they forgot all about their third member.
