A Course in Best Intentions (for Ducky)

[Crossedes]

Short of the group joining her weekly for Dungeons and Dragons, June could not remember the last time she had any one individual over where she lived. Well, outside of her parents, but they usually arrived together nonetheless. Having someone visit with whom she had only had a few-hours-long chat - someone she had only reached out to in the first place because she had nerded out about the woman's outfit - was... different. Intimidating, especially since they had agreed to spend the first while sparring together. June had never done much in the way of private sparring, and she certainly was not oblivious enough to fail to understand the reputation the League had for its particular brand of private sparring.

But June couldn't imagine that Black Swan had misunderstood the offer. After all, they had discussed technical wrestling, and she had only told Swan something like... she should use her best moves on her since June needed to get better at wrestling on the mats.

June had shoved her D&D table out of the middle of her apartment to replace it with mats, and she wandered about making sure her space didn't look too slobby. She tended to let things accumulate over the course of days while she busied herself with training, gaming, or writing, and she had been forced to clean up about ten different glasses, a few piles of clothing (including underwear), and a handful of the materials she had been using to run her campaign. The place could use another look-over, but she had at least left it lived-in rather than in a state that could have led to Black Swan preparing an intervention.

Black Swan. June pondered her again as she walked idly and anxiously around the apartment, stretching her legs and arms to make sure she was ready to do some tussling on the mats. She knew it was kind of a big deal that she had someone whom she had heard recently fought for a championship coming to her place, and she didn't know if she had decided it was a bigger deal simply because she simply wanted to know the person who had found so much success or because she could learn how to take her wrestling game to the next level.

Whatever the case, she had proven a peach during their chat - June's kind of person, really. As the blonde heard the knock on the door, she tamed the butterflies that hit her and marched her way toward the door with a purpose, only pausing again before she unlocked it and swung it open.

When Black Swan had received a message online from an aspiring wrestler gushing over her outfit, she hadn't thought much about it initially, if she were being quite honest! So many people were sending her messages online, far more than ever before, and it was just part of being a star within the LAW promotion! But when the luchadora had received a very gushing message from one June Kanako, she was somewhat surprised to discover that this "aspiring wrestler" was indeed what she said she was, and not only that, but a member of LAW as well! Swan had responded with thanks and an expression of how nice it was to have another LAW member compliment her, and the conversation had just gone from there! To several various places, but it had finally landed on the one place that brought Swan to where she was today, that being the two women agreeing to do some sparring together!

Spoiler

Standing outside of June's place, Swan took a quick look down at the last DM that June had sent her after they agreed on the time and place, a slight smile on her face as she read over it one more time! "Use your best moves" was quite the thing to ask of the luchadora, but then again, she could appreciate an up and comer wanting to get the full Black Swan treatment! And in spite of the fact that they hadn't known one another for very long, Swan liked how much spunk June seemed to show, so she was more than ready to go!

And that worked out well, since just that moment, June opened the door to the masked woman!

"Hey there June, I hope that- Oh my GOODNESS! Hubba hubba girl!" Swan began, her introduction cut off as she looked up at the blonde woman and took in the sight of how she was dressed! June fit into LAW's biggest category, taller and heavier than Swan both, and she seemed quite confident showing it as she met Swan at the door standing in a sports bra that looked like it was struggling to, well, "contain" her, and a pair of shorts so short they might as well have been confused for a thong!

"My goodness girl, you are like, twice as pretty in person! But please, excuse me, I'm getting ahead of myself! It's good to meet you!" Swan said with a smile, the friendly luchadora already forgoing a more business-like greeting as she instead spread her arms out! She'd go up on her tip toes, trying to figure out how to avoid running into June's chest and bouncing off, going to give the blonde a big hug as they finally met in person!

[Crossedes]

June couldn't decide whether she should expect Swan to show up in her awesome getup, but her standing at the door in it didn't surprise the blonde, either. Already beaming at the sight of it, the few-time cosplayer soaked in the woman in all her glory. No one had any business looking that good dressed up like a Swan. June couldn't have pulled it off. Her admiring gaze lingered until Swan all but blew up in exclamation, and June's eyes widened. Hubba... hubba? What was hubba hubba? Swan's eyes behind that mask had clearly started scanning her, so she looked down at herself, hoping she hadn't done something endlessly embarrassing like forgotten to wear her sports bra.

No, she looked intact. The big blonde started to ask, but Swan beat her to the punch. And had her melting - dropping shoulders, reddened face, and all. People didn't normally greet her with that sort of line, especially those she had invited into her home, and it just about had her forgetting her manners. June knew people had always found her attractive, at least in the face, but she could get used to people going hubba hubba over her whole figure, especially someone who had to hit a top ten list of most gorgeous people in masks. The sheepishness morphed into a broad grin. "Well, I do try. I might invite you over more if that's the way you're going to greet me."

And a hug. June already had a new best friend in Tokyo. Already more than warm to the masked beauty after their chat and that complimentary greeting, the blonde eagerly sank into the hug, almost enough to have picked Swan up and off of her feet. That much she resisted, though... if only because she remembered she was the host and had done nothing but gush in appreciation at Swan's words. "It's great to meet you and have you here!", she blurted in recovery, just as she stepped back. She found herself almost wanting to pose with a hand on her hip to see what else Swan said, but she turned her attention to her guest first.

"And that's just..." She gestured at Swan's whole figure. "The best wrestling gear I have ever seen in person. The details." Her eyes twinkled as she leaned down to inspect the sash around Swan's waist, then up to the design on her chest, forgetting that she was basically shoving herself inches from the woman's bare curves. "Sometimes I think mine's neat and then I see this."

[ADarlingDucky]

Once the door had opened, and Black Swan greeted the large blonde woman standing in front of her, she really couldn't help herself when it came to commenting on June's figure, since it was the first and most obvious thing that stuck out to her upon meeting her in person! Swan's teasing words seemed to confuse her new friend for just a moment, before June stole a quick glance downward at herself and realized what Swan was talking about, and then the masked woman instantly saw a bright red blush take over her face! June looked a bit sheepish, but as Swan continued to compliment her looks and lean in for a hug, June looked less bashful and more proud, something that made Swan herself grin as she was quickly ushered inside of her living space!

It was comfortable and cozy, with plenty of nice furniture adorning the place, but of course, the star of the show was the space that June had cleared out ahead of time and covered with mats, some padding for when the two got to their training! The thought of it already made Swan excited, as most wrestling did, but as she turned back around towards the larger woman, she found June stepping in closer and closer, getting up close and personal with her! And the cause? Swan's outfit of course, the very thing that had attracted the heavyweight to her in the first place!

June's eyes nearly sparkled as she leaned down to admire the sash hung around Swan's curvy waist, eyeing the fabric as she couldn't help but gush about the details of it, something that made the already proud Swan feel even more pleased with! June's eyes trailed upwards towards Swan's top, checking out the design and the fabric, and as Swan let herself be eyed, she couldn't help but note with a bit of humor that June was ogling very close to where her top parted in the center and showed off her large chest! So why not do some teasing?

"So uh... you like what you see?" Swan teased, putting a hand on her hip and pushing her chest out just a tad, knowingly showing off the girls as June continued to stare! June might have only thought about showing off, but Swan was confident and flirty, and so it was nothing to her at all to give her shoulders a little shake and tease June with her chest!

"But really, don't be so down on yourself! I'm honestly pretty sure you could wear workout gear like what you've got on now, and still stand WAY out in a crowd, in all the best ways!" She continued, following some playful comments with compliments of her own, meaning every word! I mean, this woman was tall, blonde, and beautiful, so it would be hard for her to not stand out!

[Crossedes]

"You bet I do. I have never seen an outfit outside of a movie with this many details." June could have asked Swan about forty thousand questions about where she had gotten such an awesome outfit, how she came up with the design, and why "Black Swan" in the first place. During their chat, June had asked a few of those questions, but she planned to follow up today, to learn some things about how to improve on her own typically gold-and-white outfits to make them this vivid, and she-

Oh. Oh. June caught onto why Swan's question had sounded strangely... flirty. Her guest all but stretched her chest far enough to nearly bury June's face in it, and the half-Japanese beauty peered at them looming before her eyes. She smelled nice, too, come to think of it. After an awkward few seconds, she reeled back just a little to glance into Swan's face, the anxiousness written in her eyes. Swan looked pleased, though, so June's uncertainness slowly drew into a smile. She supposed it made sense that Swan didn't mind showing off wearing an outfit that exposed... a lot of her. A lot of her... June's eyes started to wander back down to gaze at the lot of her on display, but she reeled herself back in and stood back straight.

Just in time to receive another compliment. June again looked down at herself. Once, she never thought anyone would have so many compliments for her in any outfit she wore. Swan had already given her two? New best friend for sure. "You're just buttering me up now," the blonde told her. She was enjoying it, too. "Though seeing you show up in the whole getup makes me wish I had worn some of my own gear! It's definitely not this elaborate and detailed, but it's shiny at least. I'd love a few ideas about how I could make it better." She didn't want to steal the sash idea... but she was tempted to steal the sash idea. Or maybe she could do a sheer scarf...

Realizing that her gaze had become distant as she pondered it, June popped back to attention and clapped her hands. "So! Are you still good to start off with the sparring? I have everything ready for us..." She gestured down at the mats as if they were not obvious. "I'm really excited to see what a competitor like you can do. I fought for some titles back home and have lots of experience, but only a couple of other women were at my level since it was such a small promotion. And they could never do anything in the ring like you can."

[ADarlingDucky]

With June stopping to admire her outfit, very up close and personally, Swan would happily let her wrestling attire be stared at up and down by the tall blonde woman, not used to someone so interested in her clothing, as so many fans were far more eager to see the body inside of it! Still, it was a nice feeling to have June so excited just by what she wore, and the luchadora couldn't help but poke a little fun at her expense, pushing her chest forwards slightly as she teased June, who at first seemed somewhat oblivious! Surely after a second she would... wait for it... and yup, there it was! The golden haired gal looked a bit bashful, but Swan was more than fine with being ogled, and so it quickly passed as June's smile returned, doubly so as Swan complimented her figure!

June expressed some remorse at not wearing her own attire, but given what they were going to be doing today, Swan was just glad that her attire had been appreciated, as she had admittedly felt slightly overdressed upon seeing the mats! And speaking of those mats, she would step further inside June's place, as her blonde companion would mull over her own outfit and ideas for it, before snapping back to reality!

"Sure, I don't mind spitballing outfit ideas with you! Buuuut... I do happen to see some very inviting mats!" Swan said with a smile, walking over to the them as June gestured towards them, the masked woman smiling as she stepped close to them, stopping just outside! As an act of courtesy, she'd quickly reach down and begin removing her boots, not intending to tread all over June's mats with them, as she listened to June explain her history before responding!

"Oooh, I do love a good indie title! But really, there's one thing that's the most important! And that's that, while I may do some flashy flippy stuff, there is nothing that will ever substitute for a good base! Once you've got that, you're good to go!" Swan said, happily stepping on the mat and turning around, one hip stuck out as she smiled and gestured for June to love her! She would wait for the blonde to step on the mat with her, but she seemed to remember something at the very last second!

"Oh, right, and just so we're like... super clear. You said you wanted to me to not hold back. You mean you want me to use all my moves? Like, ALL all of them? Some of them are definitely... uh... pretty physical..." Swan said, chuckling slightly as she rubbed the back of her neck! June understood what she meant, right? Swan supposed the tone should have made it obvious enough that she was referring to the arsenal of hentai moves she had at her disposal, as the masked woman often dabbled in more explicit matches! So as long as June agreed, then there shouldn't be any issue!

[Crossedes]

Swan had the right of it based on everything June had learned in her years wrestling. No one would ever mistake her for the most naturally talented wrestler in the world, and she had certainly never started with the body of a wrestler until she had started bodybuilding. But the fact that she could nail all the simple things - keeping her balance, using her size, and understanding the basics of the technical parts of wrestling - gave her a chance even before she became strong enough to stack two average-sized women on top of each other and slam them. Learning how to expand that strength of her game from a top-tier wrestler, and especially one she had already taken a liking to and who had an awesome fashion sense?

And she got to tangle with her for most of the afternoon. She had already been excited about it, but between having Swan show up in full attire, all the compliments, and the moment arriving, June turned giddy as they lined up with each other on the mats. It took a lot for her to avoid bouncing happily in place... mostly because she thought her top might come off. They hardly made sports bras in her size, after all. "Hey, you've fought for titles here. You better believe I'm going to listen to anything you have to say!" And heck, she would take it. She had given some help to Alba who needed to lock down her basics, and now one of the best wrestlers on the roster was willing to teach her that next step to hit the big time - Swan was her kind of people, no doubt.

She even checked in to make sure June knew what she was getting into. The blonde eagerly nodded and gestured at her own powerful, thick frame. "Yeah! I mean, nothing that will break a hole in the wall or anything. But anything you can do on the mats, it's fair game. Don't I look like I can take it?" She sealed the last question with a wink. Clearly, Swan had no chance of breaking her, even if things did get overly physical. To add more assurance, the paladin fell into a fighting stance, ready for Swan to come at her.

[ADarlingDucky]

Once both women were on the mats, the only thing that Swan really wanted to check before they got down to business was that June was well aware of what she was going to be getting, as Swan didn't want to accidentally surprise her new friend! Still, June seemed more than ready, agreeing that she was perfectly ready for whatever Swan would dish out, even gesturing at her own thick frame to show that she could handle it! And boy, what a thick frame it was indeed! Swan would give a wry smile as her curvy opponent would get down into a ready stance, showing that she was ready to go, and so Swan herself would take a step forwards, reaching for June's hands to grasp with her own, as she got ready to engage her in quite the typical lockup!

"Let's see what you got June! I'm ready for it!" Swan said, beginning to push up against the bigger woman, their curvy frames rubbing up together as they got nice and close! Only, Swan was a fair deal shorter and lighter than the heavyweight, so before too much pushing could even be done, the luchadora would attempt to yank her hands away and suddenly wrap an arm around June's neck, pulling her into a headlock!

"Well, sorta ready for it! You're a lot bigger than me, so I'm maybe not so ready for a test of strength! Sorry for tricking ya!" Swan teased, as she would pull June up tight against her body, the blonde's cheek squishing up against the side of Swan's hefty chest as the luchadora held her close! It was a rather cheeky move, to give her just a taste of a normal lockup only to break it, but Swan was curious to see if June could battle her way out, or if she was truly dealing with someone who she'd have an easy time beating!

[Crossedes]

June, one to always dive all-in to any sort of fighting situation - especially when she was so hyped up on good vibes - had to remind herself to take it down a notch. Guest, June, guest. A guest who was a bit smaller even if she proved to be a whole lot more technically skilled. She and Swan approached each other, and where June typically went for the tried and true strategy of running her opponent over, she eased into a lock-up with the smaller woman. No doubt she would have the strength advantage, considering she had the frame to build about twice the muscles of someone Swan's size, but she stared into those eyes behind the mask at first, not shoving, carefully easing forward against her.

And Swan played her card. It was a good card. June would never be called the fastest with her hands just like she was not the fastest with her feet, either, and she gasped as her sparring partner succinctly transitioned into the headlock before the blonde could so much as utter a complaint. It took her a second, and the touch of pain at her neck, to fully comprehend just how Swan had caught her. She cut her eyes to the side - yep, that was a mostly bare breast smushing against her cheek. June tried not to think too much about it, groaning at her predicament and fingering at Swan's arm to see if she could pull it away easily. Nope, that wouldn't make sense. She was too good of a wrestler for that.

"Yep, no, it's cool. Use your... best," the paladin grunted through her squished cheek as Swan crunched her neck. Fortunately, though, June knew how to deal with this sort of situation given their different sizes. June smacked her feet to the mat, planting them to make a good base before she wrapped her arms around the more slender woman's waist. With a grunt and a heave, she worked to lift the Swan into the air, and June's power allowed her to start powering her guest overhead and onto her shoulders to set up for a Samoan drop - a lightweight Samoan drop, since she didn't want to hurt her.

[ADarlingDucky]

June was definitely larger than her, and working under the assumption that she was going to be considerably stronger than the masked woman, Swan would only entertain a test of strength with the blonde bombshell for a moment before suddenly switching things up! She'd relinquish her grip on June's hands and instead slip beside her, wrapping an arm around the larger woman's neck to pull her in nice and close for a headlock, the masked woman immediately going more technical to counter out any power difference! It also left June's face squished up against the side of Swan's chest, with the luchadora already aware of her own feminine charms, completely and totally fine putting them to work early!

June tested Swan's grip on her neck, and found that she wasn't going to be getting out that way! Swan felt a bit of pride that she had already trapped June, but then the blonde would wrap her arms around the masked woman's face, and Swan's pride immediately slipped away! Of course, if June couldn't use technique to break free, it made sense that she'd look to muscle her way out, and it was only when Swan was hefted off of her feet that she felt a bit silly for not considering this possibility earlier!

"Uh o- UUGH!" Swan grunted as her body was suddenly jolted, swung downwards until the mats would stop her momentum, slammed down with a samoan drop onto the padded floor! It was far from the worst drop that she could have suffered, as it was clear that June hadn't swung her down with any real malice, but a drop was a drop, no matter how cushioned it was, it still hurt! Swan's grip on June's neck would evaporate, and she'd slowly roll over onto her stomach and put a hand to her back, pushing herself back up, but June had made enough of an opening that it was time for her to show what she could do!
