A Night Out (for Highfly, open thread)

As Kyo led them to the mini-bar, Kyo couldn't help but blush as JJ again openly showed her appreciation for his presence. He said nothing, but his smile would have said plenty even as the two of them sat down.

As JJ looked at the menu, Kyo did the same. "I'll have a mojito, myself," he said, before glancing back at JJ. "And you're more than welcome. I try to be my best self at all times: you, though, bring it out of me naturally." He smiled a little. "It's not often I get to say that to someone who makes me tap out."

He decided at that point to get out of his comfort zone and break the ice further. Meeting JJ's eyes, he would gently run a hand through her hair. "You're beautiful today, by the way. Even without the tassles."

JJ let out a small laugh as Kyo mentioned their match. "Well I can make you tap out in other places too." She said raising her eyebrows a bit. However a moment later when he mentioned her wrestling attire she almost spit her drink out laughing.

"I never thought anyone would think they were cool. They were just a throwback baby. I can work that into other outfits for ya though." JJ said with a chuckle. "I am just glad you seem to appreciate strong women, a lot of guys hate it when a lady shows them up you know? Pride or something." JJ said grinning while tensing up to subtly flex her muacles proving her point. "You are different in all the right ways, I love it. You know how to treat a lady and I hope I know how to really appreciate you." JJ said running her arm down his while leaning in to him slightly.

As JJ remarked that she could make him tap out on other places, he raised an eyebrow, and his face turned a deep shade of red, but did his best.to remain outwardly. He was perhaps only somewhat successful at this.

"Ah," he replied, "well I maintain you still got lucky." He didn't mean that of course, and it was obviously that he was being sarcastic, but he wanted to get under JJ's skin and bring out her competetive spirit. "But i would enjoy a rematch, no matter where the place. Although I intend to make sure it's you who's tapping next time."

As JJ mentioned her tassles, Kyo couldn't help but chuckle. "Oh, they look ridiculous," he assured her, "but you manage to make them work. I appreciate the era of wrestling that you are referencing with them, and the audience does as well."

Finally, as JJ mentioned how glad she was that he appreciated strong women, Kyo blushed. "Well I don't often tell people this, but I do appreciate women who have their fair share of muscle," he said, taking the moment to give an appreciative look at JJ's abs as she presented them. "And...thanks. I try to show people the respect they earn and the respect they deserve. And that goes double for my opponents and my dates."

As JJ ran a hand down his arm, Kyo did the same, reciprocating by sliding a hand up along her ebony arm towards her shoulder. "I'm sorry I was so hesitant when you met me in the locker room, by the way," he said. "I've dated other opponents before. It...ended messily the last time." He tried not to think about Shin at that point, and all of the hurtful things they had said to one another on parting. He only wanted to think of JJ, and how happy he was with her right now.
