Alright, it was time to get serious. He was at least four inches taller than him, and weighed more. He couldn't let the hyped up hummingbird get one over on him. "Uh huh, you'll need more than an ice pack when I'm done with you." He shifted his weight to the balls of his toes, bouncing up and down slightly trying to be ready for an attack.
He saw Merope's fist coming towards him and he shifted to the side, barely dodging (he could feel his fist skim his stomach through his shirt). The older boy ducked in and throwing all his weight behind it threw an uppercut straight to Merope's stomach, feeling his fist sink into the other boy's gut.

Merope grinned. "Oh yeah? Bri-hrrrngh!" Merope grunted as Orion managed to punch him, and even lift him off the ground in the process! When he came back down to earth, however, Merope seemed to be a bit paler. Or so he seemed, before he clamped a hand over his mouth, stumbling back and away from Orion while holding his other hand out in a warding gesture.
"Nnnngh," he grunted, shaking his head slowly, "That... aaagh! New rule, man? No snacks or drinks or meals before we try this - gulp! - thing again. I don't think you wanna know if 'what goes up must come down' works the other way, too, hahaha!"

Orion's eyes widened as he watched Merope's feet leave the ground. He thought that was something that only happened on tv shows, not in real life. "Oh dude, are you okay? I didn't mean to punch you that hard." He moved to check on him but then saw the hand over his mouth and the other warding him off and he back pedaled. He really didn't want to have coffee thrown up on him.
He winced at the younger boy's words. "Heh, yeah, that's probably a good one." He rubbed the back of his head then looked Merope over again. He was paler, and he knew his stomach had to be hurting, Orion's right arm was full of a dull throbbing pain. "Maybe we should wrap it up for tonight, you don't look so good, bro."

Merope stared at Orion. He blinked, paused, and then blinked again as he made the decision to slowly straighten up; his hand not relenting in its pressure until the boy was able to take several slow, deep breaths to settle his stomach. "Duuuuude!" He breathed, "What are you talking about? That was AWESOME!"
He raised his fists, not in a defensive or offensive pose, but rather in a... victory pose? "We're two super heros or sailors or pirates or ninjas or whatevers that just managed to punch each other in the gut 'til I almost hurled! But didn't! This is a VICTORY!" Merope pumped his right fist into the air, before quickly using that hand to cover his mouth.
"On second thought, man," he said, his words muffled beneath his hand, "Yeeeah, I'm with you on that. You know what would make this even more awesome? If we did it on skateboards. Or on a tight rope. On fire. Aw yeeeeah!"
Merope nodded to himself, taking a step before slowly kneeling down to retrieve Orion's brooch. This was awkwardly handed off to him. "So. Uh," he began, looking sheepish. "I don't suppose you could, er, give me a hand home or close to it...?"

Orion laughed, Merope was a little bit crazy. "It was pretty fun, if painful." He rolled his shoulders again trying to ease the stiffness. He watched the younger boy's victory pose and shook his head. He was spunky. "Score one for us!" He grinned though it was cut short while he watched Merope trying not to be sick again. He pulled a face, he must've hit him pretty hard.
Skateboards? His teammate really was crazy. Laughing he took his brooch and collar back tying it on loosely. He'd found that the uniforms had ways of fixing themselves in between power ups. He chuckled at Merope's plea for help. "Yeah, I can. What're teammates for?" He bent down to sling one of Merope's arms over his shoulders, his arm going around his waist to support him. "Just don't pass out on me." Boy, that would suck.

Merope laughed in response to his teammate, nodding in agreement with his words. "Score one for us? Totally! Think Atlas would like to join in sometime? Or..." he faltered, shaking his head. "I don't think Alcyone would want to join in, given that she has the unfair advantage of heels, y'know?"
The boy offered a shaky grin, nodding in thanks as his teammate helped him out. "Heh, thanks man, I'll try not to throw up first then try not to," he broke off, yawning, "Not to pass out. 'cause otherwise... yeah, let's not mention or think of the alternative, all right? Hahaha!"

Orion laughed, "Maybe we could get Atlas to join if we kidnapped him. I don't think I could punch Alcyone. Negachicks are one thing, but I'd feel bad punching a girl that's on our side."
He began to walk out of the construction sight, slightly bent over and supporting Merope's weight. "No problem bro, but you should stop talking about throwing up, it's just going to make you want to." He shot him a sideways glance when he yawned, yawning wasn't a good sign. "Yeah, passing out then throwing up wouldn't be good." Walking out of the construction site he headed down the street with the blue haired boy in tow.

"Mmm, point there," Merope nodded in agreement to Orion's assessment of the rest of their teammates. It would be hard convincing Atlas to arrive by himself, but kidnapping? Could the pair of them do it? That was certainly something to think about.
He made another noise of affirmation to Orion, adding, "Throwing up first and then passing out would be bad too. Or doing them both at the same time. Is that possible? I know if you laugh too hard you can get milk to -- uurrrgh, nevermind."
The sick senshi kept his mouth shut, traveling in silence. It was only until they were a couple of blocks within Merope's home did the boy stand up and thank his teammate, making plans to meet again before heading inside for yet another troubled sleep -- one fortunately spent away from the bathroom, thanks to the miracles of anti-nausea medicine.
