The raven-haired girl had gotten busy to counting the clouds that were lazily drifting across the sky—and since it appeared he was going to take a while to get there, she decided to rest her eyes for a bit. it wasn’t until much later did she pick up on an…invading presence, and she snapped her eyes open to find that Josh was staring down at her, apparently waiting for something to happen. “What? Yes, I did, but I’d rather have this little conversation away from everyone else… don’t want them getting too frisky about us and spread rumors now, do we,” she began, unfolding one of her hands and attempting to drag him down onto the grass with her.
There was a little problem though—with her short reach, she ended scrabbling up at thin air for a few moments before she finally got the idea of hitching herself up from her rather comfortable position on the grass, the better to be able to get a grab on any piece of clothing that he had on that she could reach. Eventually, she’d managed to grab the front hem of his jacket, and with all the effort that her stubby, short, five foot six and a half body could muster, attempted to drag him down and flip him on the grass. Izumi knew that she was just a shrimp, but sometimes she could surprise herself with what she was apparently capable of…

"Why would they spread rumors about us if we're just talking?" He would inquire, tilting his head. They had been talking just fine during the last few breaks, right? He still didn't know why Izumi had broken into a run, or brought him out here, or insisted they go for a walk only to start running. But that would be forgotten as she would grab his clothes, y'know, after a few failed attempts, and flip him onto the grass by his jacket.
"H-hey! What's the big idea?" Josh would exclaim toward Izumi with a laugh as the blonde would quickly try to sit up on the grass, taking this as a challenge as he would try and grab onto her. With a longer reach, it wouldn't take much to grab her shirt or something, he hoped. What, did she want to wrestle or something? Ohhh Izumi, bad idea, sweetheart. Bad idea.

“You never know,” was all she had to get out, before attempting to slug him onto the grass! Sure, she may have been short, but sometimes being smaller actually had its advantages—like being able to slip around much quicker and cramming oneself into tighter spaces, for example. “Get your ass down here!” she continued, trying to trap his leg and force him to take a reverse spill onto the ground; she really was out of touch when it came to close-quarters tactics!
“There are some things that should be kept between us, you know,” she continued, still trying to wrestle him onto the ground—but knowing Josh, he’d still figure out a way to topple her instead of himself. “Stop being suck a dork and just get down on the grass…” she continued to growl; while still trying to get him to kiss the dirt—she’d done it so many times, and she wanted to see him in her position for a change of pace.
“Sometimes building a house can get tiring, you know. So I figured… why not wrestle out here for a bit?” she added with a chuckle; before trying to force his knees to buckle by turning around and kneeing him behind that particular spot; while still trying to grab hold of his much longer arms.
She knew that he was going to literally fight his way out of this, so here she was, trying to get him to face the music with what she could manage to pull off…

"Yeah, yeah. I suppose a break could be good" Josh would admit with a shrug before Izumi tried to wrestle him to the ground. "H-hey! What's the big idea!" He would call as he would try and fight back. But Izumi had taken him by surprise, and she'd manage to trap his leg and force him to take a reverse spill as the blonde haired six footer (With an extra spicy two inches to add to the six feet. Six foot two, I mean, perverts.) would fall onto his back. He didn't exactly kiss the dirt, you could say, more like ended up just staring at the sky. He would try and struggle and fight back despite being taken by surprise, but he was having trouble fighting from underneath, it seemed.
So the question lie, what would happen now? He would figure out a way to get the upper hand eventually, of course...
Post by Izumi Yamamura on May 17, 2015 0:27:54 GMT -5
Izumi was actually surprised to find out that her little sudden sneak attack had worked on him—and instead of her getting pinned underneath (as was the custom whenever they’d end up physically tussling and grappling each other) he was now the one lying flat on his back in the grass. Huh. Guess that training I’m doing on the side is working, somehow, she thought to herself with a devious grin as she then leaned in abnormally close to him; her own forehead hovering mere inches above his. In a way, their proximities were much closer than normal—that was, until she then began to tickle his sides!
“This is payback for all those times you’ve sassed me, jackass!” she hissed with a grin on her face as she then tried to continue having the upper hand in this particular situation. She could feel her elbows trembling due to trying to hold up her much smaller fame; but eventually she’d managed to wiggle her fingers into the same spots where he’d normally tickle attack her from whatever angle he was coming in from; the better to take her by surprise. “Guess the tables have turned,” she continued as her left elbow finally buckled and gave way, causing her to let out a yelp as she landed on top of him! She then felt her ears burning up; before her instinct kicked in and both her arms made a lunge for his arms in a bid to pin them down; which were probably flailing by now, the better to try to tackle her off.
Her legs were quite busy too; she was still in the middle of trying to figure out how to keep him pinned down with the least amount of effort exerted by her small frame; but due to the distinct height difference, she knew she was going to have a bit of a problem regardless of what he was going to do. Are you going to spin-tackle me? Reverse the tables? Or what? she continued to ponder in the back of her mind as she waited for him to react—and without warning, she then accidentally rammed her own forehead against his; wincing slightly as her own skull impacted with his!
WORDS 373 TAGSJosh Dragomir NOTESYeah, so totally trying to keep J pinned down.
Post by Josh Dragomir on May 17, 2015 1:01:12 GMT -5
Oh, she was going to try and tickle him, was she? Oh, nuh uh. He laughed a bit, but certainly wasn't as ticklish as the raven haired gal as he would start to try and fight his way out of this little pinning predicament. Josh would manage to get his arms free just as Izumi would end up landing on top of him. It was then that Izumi would try to pin his arms down again. He was still struggling and fighting, though she had his arms pinned for the moment. But knowing him, it wouldn't be long before Josh had the advantage and he'd have Izumi in that predicament once again.
Quickly, Josh would manage to get his arms free again and the first thing he did was begin tickling Izumi's sides right back. He would start to sit up as he did so, trying to reverse their weight and turn the tables, though he was stopped right in his tracks as Izumi's head would contact his. While his head was hard enough to prevent any real damage to him, it did send him right back to the ground, wincing as he fell on his back again, arms on the ground. Of course, he wouldn't be stunned for long.

Now that he was on the offensive once again, she thought she’d already had him pinned down, but nope, he was definitely fighting back—and that he did by tickling her once again! “Hey, Josh, that’s not totally fair,” she began, resisting the urge to laugh—but it was too much, and she ended up snorting right in his face, due to the way he was tickling her. “Stop squirming and let me just—“ she trailed off, trying to dodge the tickling grabby hands that he was launching her way. It was at this point she got an idea; and hopefully he wouldn’t take it against her much later!
She then tried to grab one of the hands that were tickling her sides rather ruthlessly, before trying to hold them up and above him—she then realized that she needed to stand up just for this to work—so she then pushed herself as best as she could off his prone form; and instead of managing to hold up the arms that were trying to exact their vengeance on her ticklish spot, forced herself into a kneeling position in an attempt to keep his hands away from her sides! “You know full better than tickling me!” she remarked, before accidentally planting herself in a seated position atop his stomach, holding his hands as far away from her sides as she could.
“Well… this is awkward.”
WORDS 236 TAGSJosh Dragomir NOTESSo this is apparently a wrestling move?
Post by Josh Dragomir on May 19, 2015 0:07:12 GMT -5
"It's more fair then what you're doing!" The blonde would retort, as he was back on the fighting, once he had recovered from the temporary, momentary stunning from the headbutt. She had his hands pinned, but he wasn't going to let that stand! "Well, your big butt on my stomach isn't exactly awkward, its not like its anything too serious" He would remark as he'd manage to free his hands and start tickling Izumi's sides, trying to get himself free of the raven haired girl as he would try over and over to buck her off. He was tempted to just use his strength to shove her off and mount an offense of his own, something he was very much capable of doing if he tried. He would tickle her sides a little more as he tried to avoid her hands, the movement to avoid her hands causing him to give her a little squeeze on the rear sitting on his stomach.
"... Now it's awkward" He remarked before trying to lift himself up and buck her off without even hesitating.

Izumi then felt the color drain from her face as she then looked down at the perpetrator, who was still trying to tickle her (as well as buck her off from her current position) while struggling to pull himself up. “You know, I could just backhand you in the nuts, and then you’d stop squirming and just accept your fate,” she remarked with a rather dark glint in her eyes for the briefest of moments, before finally flailing and fighting off the hands that were still attempting to tickle the hell out of her.
“But I’m not like that. Nope, definitely not… just don’t make me so mad I’d want to yank your hair out…” she added with a smirk, before finally rolling off the trapped man and just lying back down on the grass. “You know better than to tickle the hell out of me, boy, you know better than that. Don’t tell me you’re going to sit down on me this time around? That would look extremely awkward,” she added with a smirk as she tucked her rather sore arms behind her head and proceeded to look back up at the sky once more, watching the clouds drift lazily by.
“So… when’re we heading back to help them finish building the house? I know it’s been a while, but we still have to keep going and just continue building until we’re done,” she remarked some several minutes later, after letting the silence fall between them.
WORDS 247 TAGSJosh Dragomir NOTESTres awkward indeed

Finally, Izumi had decided to roll off of him before he would end up tickling her to death. Victory! "Yeah, we should definitely get back soon" Josh would remark after lying back on the grass once she'd rolled off of him. "Hey Zu?" He would inquire, looking over at Izumi. "Are you... Happy... About the house, so far? And... Y'know, about rooming?" He would ask curiously. "I mean, you don't have to live with me if you don't want to.... I'm sure we could find ways to split things up if you wanted to live by yourself, y'know, while the house is still in construction" He would offer. "I guess I just wasn't sure if you were entirely sure about it. I mean, I'm fine with it. Hell, I'm happy about it. I can't imagine a better roommate" He would add, chuckling a bit.
"But... Up to you. Just best to get it out of the way now, instead of later" He would remark.
Post by Izumi Yamamura on May 22, 2015 23:09:58 GMT -5
Izumi had a feeling that it was a ‘victory’ for him the moment she’d relocated herself to her current position on the grass; but to her it most definitely was not—it was just a temporary truce since she’d deigned to get off him before things took a turn for the kinky (and the most unexpected, of course). Once she’d heard his affirmative grunt to her earlier suggestion, she then snickered in his direction for a few seconds before she heard a question tossed her way. she could only sit up and look at him out of bizarre wonder; what had caused him to ask that question from out of nowhere? She then turned away for a few moments—but that was only to allow her enough time to roll her eyes at his statement. Why the hell was he getting rather doubtful all of a sudden?
The first part of her answer was a deliberate conk to the nearest part of his head that she could reach. “You idiot. Why would you ask me that question? The answer would be kind of obvious; if I wasn’t here then I would most certainly be not happy with the arrangements. But think, think for a moment,” she trailed off. Now that she was on a certain track, she’d even changed her voice tone to something that sounded like snide mockery, “…if I didn’t enjoy any single moment of this, then I’d have gone and packed up all my shit and moved back to Shui where my mother has an apartment and stay there… or bunk down in the Izakaya, Arceus forbid. But guess again. Where am I? I’m right here.And you’re going to have to get used to having me around the house, whether you like it or not!” she ended with a smirk of triumph across her face, having sat up and folded her arms across her chest as if to prove a point.
She then let the triumphant leer sit on her face for a few more moments, before giving him an eye roll—this time, one that he would definitely see and react to. “Why the hell are you getting all testy and touchy now? Isn’t it a bit too late for that at this point in time?” she added with another smirk in his direction, before flicking her fingers at his forehead; up to him if he’d dodge it or not. She then aimed another rapping conk to the side of his head, before letting out what sounded like a hissing sigh. “Well, it’d be rather pointless if I asked you what you think of having me as a roomie, since you already answered that question just earlier. So yeah, deal with it,” she remarked with another smirk on her face.
“Come on, let’s get goin’, who knows what mayhem’s taking place without us over there to supervise,” she ended some few minutes later, finally standing up and patting herself down t get rid of whatever grass and dirt had stuck itself to her clothes.

Oh, victory was his alright. Izumi, and he as well, both knew that if she were to try and straddle him again like she had, he'd turn it around and bring down a tickling fest on her ass. He had the tickling hand ready. One tickling hand. Two tickling hands. Two tickling hands, and if Izumi tried again, she was most certainly screwed. If things took a turn for the kinky, oh well, that was the price she paid for... Wait, how would it have taken a turn for the kinky again? He had no clue. The writer has no clue. That wasn't even bloody kinky, or even close. Just... Sitting on the chest. Not even straddling. Seriously, I was lying about the straddling, even if it was close enough.
Josh smirked a bit when Izumi detailed that she wanted to be here, and went after him for asking his question. "I was just asking moreso why you wanted to crash with me to begin with" He would mention. "Not to mention make sure you didn't have any last minute issues. I mean, if you wanted to go back to Shui and crash there instead, I was just making sure that you weren't getting cold feet. Better to ask now then before the house is finished, right?" He would remark as he would get up to see what they had in store for work left.
"I do have to ask though..." He began as he would get up along with her and wipe the dirt off his pantlegs, before making sure to get the last word in from their little wrestling by landing a hard smack right on her rump, with a playful grin crossing his lips. "Seriously though, why do you want to crash with me? I'm not that great of a roomie" He remarked with a chuckle. "You coulda bunked with Yumi or something instead of me and talked about... Women things, I don't bloody know. Why me?"

While Josh over here (and consequently his writer) was trying to not break the fourth wall too much, Izumi could only grumble and sigh in his direction—she was not one to back down from a challenge, whatever it may have been. To his retorts, her best answer was this—by walking over close to where he was, before elbowing the closest part of him that she could reach.
“There you go again with your pessimistic attitude. What could be so wrong with the idea of rooming down with a…with a close friend of mine?” she began, hesitating for a few seconds; because to be honest she wasn’t sure what he thought of their relationship together. Was it just as friends? Best friends? Troll bros? Or was there something else underneath it altogether?
Either way, she could only roll her eyes in his direction—until she felt a smacking sensation on her rear side! “Hey! That was foul,” she retorted, before pondering on where the best place was to inflict such bodily pain he’d feel it until the afterlife—if he survived the impact, that is. Deciding to save her physical retort for a time when he wasn’t fully looking, she then rolled her eyes once more, before sighing as she then continued on, “Well, how was I supposed to know where Yumi was rooming anyway? I know she’s mostly surrounded by her own little armada of Pokémon, and besides, it’s only recently that I’m getting to know her outside of what I’ve seen on television and that contest back in Slateport. You know, like a completely different side of her altogether,” she clarified, just in case he didn’t understand what the hell she was saying.
“Either way, you’re stuck with me now, so get used to having me around a lot. Just make sure to keep your nasty little bunch of Pichu away from my room, otherwise I’ll send hell on wheels after ‘em,” she added a few moments later—she knew that he had a rather rowdy bunch of Pichu that were…very capable of ‘acts of terror’ on a small scale.

Oh boy, there she went again. Trying to elbow and jab him to try and get in the last non verbal word possible. Man, she'd started the little wrestling match between them, and all he had done was get her back! He would find himself smacking her rear end once again in response. Gently, maybe about as hard as she had elbowed him, but oh was he going to get in the last non verbal word if he could!
"Oh hush, I'm not being pessimistic" Josh remarked in response with a laugh to her words. Really, it wasn't that he was being pessimistic, he thought... Okay, maybe a little. But really, Izumi had never really said why she wanted to live with him. The idea had been pitched, and she'd just... Agreed with it. It'd never been her idea, and he didn't know if she WANTED to live there with him, or if she just wanted a nice place to live regardless of the other occupant. "Nothing's wrong with rooming with a friend, Zu" He added, chuckling. He was pretty sure they were close friends anyway. Granted, Kouji had talked about her wanting... Different, but.... Well, who knows, right? He supposed he would find out in time.
"SO not a foul" Josh would retort with a laugh when she complained about the smacking. She wanted to get physical, did she not? Hopefully she wouldn't be too mad about the second smack of the series. Josh nodded when she brought up Yumi, but that didn't really explain why she wanted to bunk with HIM in particular. "I mean, you could have picked anyone, why me?" He asked, laughing a bit. But it seemed she wasn't budging, just stating that he was stuck with her.
"Hey, I can live with being stuck with you. I normally am anyway. Living with you is just the next step" He would tease. "No promises with the Pichu. They have minds of their own"

“It sure beats living alone in a place you don’t know. It’s better to have a place and just have friends living together in it. You know, kind of like how… how your kind did it in that thing you call ‘school’,” she remarked, this time literally flipping a bird in his face while rolling her eyes. “Come on, spare me, I didn’t go to an actual school, I was home-taught, so there’re some differences here and there. Either way, it’s nice sharing living space with people you can chill and just goof off with,” she ended, while in the back of her mind she also added; …well, if you weren’t so dense then this would be much, MUCH more interesting… don’t you think so? Before continuing the walk back to where the rest of the construction was taking place.
If he cared to notice, work had gone on without them, the hired help pounding and hammering away, installing wiring and pipes as necessary. Their own ‘mons were also helping out in any way that they could—transporting beams, lifting bags of cement; having gotten so used to going through the motions over the past few days.
“Alright, I have to get started on the next mound of food, can you go help ‘em out again? Be back in a couple more hours with the rest of the snacks,” she remarked his way, before weaving her way through the bustling crowd and vanishing once more into Serena’s house and heading straight for the kitchen and making beeline for the sink in order to be able to prepare more food for everyone who was working outside.
