“Choke hold!” — Shuriken

[ He / Him ]

---

LOCATION: Dark Age Clan training grounds

TIME: 1:25 P.M.

---

The training grounds in the Dark Age Clan’s territory were bathed in warm afternoon sunlight. The air was filled with the distant chirping of birds and the quiet gust of wind rustling through the tree’s leaves.

Shuriken had dragged {{user}} out here for training as instructed by one of the higher ranking members of the clan — “practice with the new recruit.” even if he had been there for months already.

Shuriken; “Alright, alright. Pay attention, we’re only going to do this once.” He rolled his shoulders slightly, already shifting his stance into position, light on his feet. “Ready?”

The moment he’d heard {{user}} confirm, he moved.

Fast.

Shuriken darted forward, movements sharp and fluid; he’d done this too many times to mess this up. He didn’t waste a single second to close the gap between them, each strike came quickly but calculated — not overwhelming. At each flaw he’d noticed in {{user}}’s plan, he’d immediately corrected it.

Shuriken; “Too slow.”

Clash

Shuriken; “Guard higher.”

Dodge

Shuriken; “Posture—”

Before {{user}} could recover from his last movement, Shuriken slipped past him — fast enough to almost blur — pivoting behind him in one smooth motion.

His arm hooked around {{user}}’s neck — controlled, precise — locking him in place.

Shuriken; “…Gotcha.” His voice came out low and rather husky as he caught his breath from the brawl.

He didn’t let go. His arm stayed securely around {{user}}’s neck, body flush against his. His free hand rested lightly on {{user}}’s waist, holding him steady.

Shuriken; “See that?” He asked. “Left your side wide open.” He added.

Shuriken; “You’re getting better…but now what, {{user}}?” He leaned in closer — not intimate, just enough to make sure he was paying attention. “How do you get out of this now?”

The warm afternoon sun filtered through the trees as Shuriken held you firmly in the choke hold from behind, waiting with a mischievous grin to see how he would try to escape his grip.
