Ian shook his head, genuine laughter escaping his throat this time - real laughter, not the predatorily amused laughter or the false smirk he wore most of the time, but actual entertained laughter.
"Nevada," he said. "I think I like you."
He dodged another bullet, but wasn't so lucky with the next several, staggering backwards from the force of the impact. Ian collapsed onto the ground, breathing heavily, and then pushed himself back up onto his feet. With a lunge, he threw himself bodily into Nevada, knocking her gun up to tackle her around the waist.

She gave him a cheery but yet still lazy smile.
"Oh? No, are you sure? And here I was trying to make you dislike me." She cupped her chin in her hand, "Whatever will I do now?" She was still smiling at him.
And she had to admire his quick reflexes, but as he took the next barrage of bullets, she felt a tad bit guilty. She was an intermediate after all, she was just a big stronger than him.
Though, those preoccupied thoughts ended up with him tackling her around the waist, her eye widening.
"Wait handsome, We can't just do that on the battlefield!" She squeaked, then laughed as they hit the ground, bringing her gun between them like a crowbar, intent on at least loosening his grip to get away.
Most of the damage would be from her wiggling her way to escape. As well as using the gun as the crowbar to freedom. "You haven't even taken me to a proper dinner." She attempted her best scandalized face.
/When you're done messing around, we are charged. Let me destroy his shield./

"If you were trying to make me dislike you, you wouldn't have worked so hard to - oof."
Nevada's gun had prodded him in the stomach. Ian wheezed a little and rolled sideways, his fingers digging into Nevada's sides. "There are no rules in love and war," he said, coughing slightly. "Wait, no, I mean all's fair in love and war. That's how it goes, right?"
He shifted, crawling so that he was kneeling over Nevada and grinning down at her triumphantly. "I might not be that great at fighting, but I am awesome at distraction."

"It's true, you caught me in my master scheme." She started to roll away now that she was free. "There should be rules!" She laughed again.
"First rule, Take the girl that you are sparring with to dinner first. Rule two, crush her on the battlefield...." She made a face, "At least she got a good dinner before hand. Thus, ego's are only slightly bruised. Although I guess in the end, I could take you to dinner too. Because I'm gonna whoop-" Her eyes widened as he made his way back over, promising distractions.
Which earned a scoff sound from her.
"Handsome." She said bluntly, "I am the best sort of distraction."
Proven when she turned the tables as they talked, reaching up and switching the ground for him. Promptly sitting on his back to keep him there.
"Give yet?" She grinned from her spot, looking down over her shoulder at him.

Ian leaned over Nevada, a smirk on his lips as he touched the tip of his dagger to Nevada's face, sliding it down her cheek affectionately. He had no intentions of actually stabbing her, of course, but it was fun to be in this sort of tussle with her nonetheless.
"Yes," he said. "Distractions are a sort of specialty of mine, I guess you could say..."
He leaned over her, touching his forehead to hers, and was about an inch from her face, his breath fanning over her -
- and then was promptly rolled over and smushed onto the ground.
"Never," Ian croaked out, his voice slightly muffled due to the fact that it was currently against the grass, but he sounded amused anyway. "Giving up implies a weakness, doesn't it?"

She was already on top of you Ian, Your seduction technique failed!
Sorta, she might've blushed just a tad bit.
"Well now that I have you under me." Wow way to phrase that one, "What should I do with you hmmmmmmmmmmm." She tapped her fingers to her lips in contemplation.
Perhaps she could test...Well some guys didn't really like....But hmmmm.......
"HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM..............." She said a little louder and drawn out.
"Perhaps you will give up if....I tickle you." The same fingers she boasted for massages now wiggled dangerously close to his rib cage, the most tender of all tickle spots. And then went in for the kill.
/What the hell happened to the sparring portion of this./
This is fun sparring.
"All's fair in love and war isn't it Ian?" She cackled.

Ian attempted to twist around beneath Nevada and try and wiggle free, but she was stronger than she looked, the brat. He settled for just lying there, biding his time, but then -
- wait a minute -
Several seconds later, Ian was screeching in laughter, twisting and jerking.
"THAT IS COMPLETELY UNFAIR," he gasped out between breaths, now shifting entirely so that he was on his back instead of lying on his stomach. Pushing himself vertical, Ian wrapped his arms around Nevada's waist and dug his own fingers into her sides, attempting to retaliate.
"You resort to cruel methods, my dear."

Nevada felt like it was a little like riding a bumping car. You just had to hold on till it calmed down again. Unfortuntely for her, it was turned around in a instant, his body flipping over and trapping her in his arms.
Soon as she felt the dig in her sides, she wiggled.
"Nooooooo Don't do that Handsome." She squeaked, closing her eyes to hold in the laughter. "You can't use my tactics on me!"
She tried to scramble away from him but was failing miserably. Her laughter ringing out.
"Ah Ian, Take mercy on meeeeeeeeee." She wheezed, " I can't laugh anymore, it hurtsssssssss." She moved her hands down to his, to get them away.

Success.
Ian felt quite pleased with himself, fighting with Nevada to grasp her hands, winding his fingers around her wrists. He smirked at her and said lightly, "You can't say that when you've totally just sunk down to this level. I happen to be just getting you back for what you've done to me, thank you very much."
And with that being said, Ian rolled sideways away from Nevada, swung his leg out, and roundhouse kicked her.
(Gently.)

"Ahhhhh" She laughed again, "Payback's a b***h" She whispered, watching as he rolled away from her and barely bring her arms up in time to block the kick.
"I have to say Handsome" She pushed his leg away, feeling the sting of it down her forearms. "You really did have me distracted...." And with that, she scrambled back for her weapon, bringing Leroy back to her.
"But I hope you don't mind, My weapon has been urging for me to do this the whole time."
As she pulled the trigger, the gun blew up in her hands, her eyes widening as it engulfed her own FEAR Shield.
/YOU SHOULD'VE LET ME WARM UP AGAIN./
She didn't make a sound as the flames licked at her shield, until it was gone and Nevada crumpled to the ground. Not dead, but none to good for the wear. Leroy was settled in front of her as she trembled.
"got...too excited...." She closed her eye, mentally destroying herself over the failure of getting too caught up with playing.

Ian gave a satisfied nod. "I'm glad to hear I can have an effect on you, gorgeous," he said with a pleased smirk. He brushed his hands on his pants and crawled away, trying to escape the gunshot that would inevitably come his way.
Except apparently it wasn't all that necessary.
"Are you okay?" Ian asked, peering towards her.

"Yes." She gritted her teeth before closing her eye again, "No...No I'm not okay. It stings like a b***h. It's all fun and games until someone's charge backfires on them."
She kept it closed and let Leroy desummon. As far as the first spar to have since her accident, this hand't been too bad. Then again it hadn't really ended up a spar spar.
The failure came realizing she couldn't handle the recoiling blast from Leroy's newest attack.
She wrapped her arms around her legs, bringing herself in tighter.
"Looks like you won Handsome." Voice was muffled in her legs, "Ah I am sad about the kiss, but a deal's a deal!" She burrowed her head just a little bit more. It really wasn't Ian's fault, but it wasn't helping her inadequacy feels that she couldn't battle without hurting herself.

He moved slowly across the field towards her until he was beside her, Ian sitting on his knees next to Nevada. She was looking upset, which bothered him, since he wasn't great at comforting, but he had started to quite enjoy her company, more than he'd thought he was.
He didn't like seeing her this way, which confused and irritated him because it was breaking down the wall he had so carefully constructed around himself. He was not the kind of person who made friends or even lasting acquaintances. Relationships in general, whether platonic or romantic, were not his strong suit.
Reaching out, Ian slid his fingers down the side of Nevada's face until they reached her chin. He tilted her face upwards and leaned in without hesitation, pressing his lips against hers in a firm but gentle kiss.
When he pulled away, he was looking serious, idly running a finger down the cheek beneath her injured eye. Ian took a slight breath, then pressed his lips together in a thin lie.
"I like guys."
The confession was simple, mostly because he had the feeling Nevada already knew, and he wasn't saying it because he thought she was interested in him in that way; but because she had already shared with him more than she knew.

She didn't shift as he came closer, half expecting him to bop her on the head and tell her it was just a stupid charge.
She felt the gentle touch of his hand, tilting her head up and met his gaze with a miserable one of her own. "it's not your fault or anything-" Her words were silenced by his gentle kiss, giving her reason for the term...slack jaw and as he pulled away, her eye remained big and wide.
"Handsome you could've fooled me." The misery of being a failure was immediately replaced with amusement and a brief moment of confusion. She had a feeling, but having it confirmed well..... Honestly, she only considered good friends able to bring her out of the dark spot. Though it didn't take much it seemed.
It was his show of faith in the confession that had her smiling and reaching out to cup his cheeks. "I had a moment where my ego might've boosted at the thought that I had suddenly converted you Handsome, let me tell you, that would bring any girl out of her self inflicted self doubt issues. Ah but this works too." She pinched his cheeks and leaned over to give him one in return, on his right cheek of course. Having him tell her was a big step of acceptance, for her and for himself. It meant that he saw her somewhat as someone to be close to, and for her it meant that she was doing things right in being a good listener for him.
"I try to pride myself on being strong, but since you are the first person I have battled since the accident, I am a little sad that I couldn't do anymore than have something blow up on me." Ahhhh she sighed. "thank you for telling me a secret, I feel like I earned a lot for this battle."

There was something strangely liberating about saying the words out loud. Ian had never exactly hidden his preferences, but he hadn't flaunted them either, believing it to be his business and his alone. And some had agreed with his choices.
Others had not. So he had learned to keep what was his safe inside of his own head.
Ian felt his cheeks flush just a little, but he gave Nevada a rueful sort of smile. "Well, to be fair," he said. "I do like girls too. I've had girlfriends in the past. I just...well, let's just say guys are more my thing."
He smiled at the kiss to his cheek, leaning back and pulling his own legs up to his chest, resting his arms across his knees. "I thought you did an excellent job of kicking my a**," said Ian mildly. "I've never quite been good when it comes to combat, so at least now I have some experience under my belt."
"And a kiss," he added, with a teasing smirk towards Nevada.
