Will`made a sound between a growl and a yell as he got sprayed then punched, "You little punk, I'm gonna beat your ass." He fought against the headlock but was too drunk and off guard to do much else besides struggle, though he did try to get a few good hits on the new guy with another growl.
Jynna stayed a good distance away from the two of them, cheering for the guy who had interfered in her head. Will deserved to be knocked out several time in her opinion but then she'd get questions about what happened, which would not be good.
Romance one on one of some kind? (Closed)

Rhydar grunted with each punch the guy managed to land, then threw him off. He backed away, tapping his rings together as he formulated an on-the-spot plan. He wasn't good with those. He was more of a reckless, impulsive fighter. So we went impulsive. He charged the dude and swung at his face, the rings along his knuckles gleaming in the moonlight and seeming eager to draw some blood. His other hand was ready to wrap around the guy's torso so Rhydar could keep him in place while he knocked the shit out of him.
The hit to Will's face landed and he grunted, cuping the side of his face in his hand and swinging wildly at the guy. "Bastard." He huffed, "I'm gonna break you in half twig." Will was too drunk to have a plan and at this point he was just throwing around words and wild punches, trying to seem like he was going to win.
As the fight got worse Jynna took a step forward, biting her lip and trying to decide if it was worth it to step in. More than likely if she tried to intervene she would get hit with a stray punch, which wouldn't be good, but she also didn't want to have to deal with getting someone to take her ex back home. Even his buddies knew enough to not deal with him after he had a few to many to drink.

(Sorry, got a shower)
Rhydar didn't say anything, just grabbed Will and swung his body around so he was behind. He locked both his arms around the dude's throat, cutting off his airways. "That's it. Time for sleepy time." He stumbled slightly as Will's weight put him off balance, but he didn't fall. Thankfully. Horrible timing, especially with a pretty girl watching.
(It's alright)
Again Will struggled, soon realizing that he wasn't going to win this one. "Jynna," He looked over at her, drunk and gasping for breath as he got out a few words, "You know that I'm going to come back as soon as twig leaves, and I'm not going to be nice next time." Eventually he passed out from lack of air, becoming not much more than dead weight in his arms.
Jynna pressed her eyes shut for a moment and rubbed her bare arms at the thought of having to deal with her ex again, knowing that again he was going to be drunk again. She opened her eyes once he went quiet and saw that he was out cold, which was going to be a problem if the guy who stepped in was going to leave right away.
group
Rhydar set the heavy bastard down, putting his hands on his knees and sighing heavily as he caught his own breath. Then his eyes flicked over to the girl and he stood up straight with a smirk. "My pleasure, milady." He sketched a bow in her direction. "You doing alright? He didn't do anything?" Honestly, he didn't care. But he supposed it was rude to knock out some dude on your porch and then just leave without a word.
"Yeah, I'm fine, he didn't do anything." She sighed and rubbed the back of her neck, looking at her unconscious ex on her porch. Tucking a stray strand out hair out of her face she glanced at the guy, "Thanks for taking him out, I couldn't have knocked him out if I tried. Anything I can do for you to say thanks?" She asked, not really thinking about what she was saying and instead trying to figure out who she could call to take him back to his house.
group
His lips tilted up in a slight smirk. "Maybe you could tell me your name, pretty lady?" I wonder if she goes to the same college as me. That'd be interesting if so.
A small smile appeared on her face and she studied his face, "Jynna, and you are?" She pulled her hair out of its ponytail absentmindedly and ran her fingers through it, taking a step towards her door and away from the unconscious drunk.
group
"Rhydar. Say, you go to any college 'round here?" He tilted his head as he studied her face, sorting through faces and names and trying to place both of hers. No one by that name rung any bells. And he couldn't recall seeing a pretty face like that before.
"I go to college in the next city over, Oceanside College," She said, tilting her head to the side slightly, "I haven't seen you on campus at all so I'm guessing you don't go there?" His piercings caught her interest and she counted them in her head, most intrigued by the one on his lip.
group
(Three studs on the one ear with one that dangles, then a chain cuff earring on the other and another three studs. Two eyebrow piercings on the same brow)
"Ah. No." He winked. "Guess I'm gonna have to transfer then, won't I?" He hooked his thumbs in the belt loops of his jeans. Figured. I would remember seeing her, no doubt. He curled his nose at the unconscious drunkard, kicking his side lightly. "Suppose I'm gonna have'ta take him home, won't I. I did knock him out, after all. Least I could do."
She smiled and rolled her eyes, "And why would you have to transfer?" Jynna shook her head to the statements about Will, "It's fine, you don't have to deal with him anymore, plus you don't know where he lives." She ran a hand through her hair again and shrugged, "I'll have one of his buddies come over and get him, that is if they want to deal with drunk dickface here."
group
"'Cause I need at least one pretty face to distract me from the boring classes." He grinned, then turned back to Will and shrugged. "I'm here now, might as well." He glanced at her from the corner of his eye. "I'll need you to give me directions though." He was just delaying the obvious–he would never see her again once he left. The reality damped his mood slightly, but he got over it quickly. There were more fish in the sea. She just happened to be one of the few that really caught his eye.
"I can write them down if you give me a minute, he lives back in one of the older apartment buildings around here, it gets quite confusing if you don't know where you're going." She glanced at him and held up her finger to tell him one minute before dashing inside her house and scribbling down directions on the nearest piece of paper she could find, one of her old assignments to be exact. After a moment of debating with herself she bit her lip and wrote down her number as well. Who knew, maybe it would be nice to know someone like him. She headed back out onto her porch with the directions folded up and in her hand.
group
He was crouched down next to a still unconscious Will, poking his cheek to see if he'd wake up. "He's out." He said to himself, not having noticed Jynna return. "Hope I didn't kill the poor dude. Maggie would be pissed if I did." He continued talking to himself, still oblivious to Jynna's presence, as he was crouched down. He rested his head on his knees, mind going elsewhere.
She stood there silently, knowing that she should probably say something but deciding against it. When she heard the name Maggie she assumed it was his girlfriend, cursing internally and trying to quietly rip the scrap of paper that had her number on it off of the direction sheet. She didn't know that as she was ripping off the scrap of paper she was missing the first few numbers and they were left on the sheet along with the first part of 'call me' that she had written.
group
He jerked his head up when he heard a sound. "Oh. You're back." He stood and walked over to her. "You got my directions, or are you gonna take me there?" His smirk was back as he stuffed his hands in his pockets. She looks… panicked. I think. Maybe? Or is that just my imagination? Probably. I'm tired, and Mags is gonna beat my ass if I don't get home soon.
"I have the directions right here," She held out the sheet to him and gave him a crooked smile, "One thing, when you get to the door the key is right under the doormat, if I remember and no one has stolen it." Jynna glanced at Will and looked around, "Do you have a car or something? Because I can help you get him wherever he needs to be before you go."
group
"No car, but I can drag him there. I'm not that nice." He looked at the directions and noticed the Call me with the start of a phone number. The paper had been ripped. Well, that's a new one. He memorized the directions and stuffed the paper in his pocket, then picked up Will and slung his arm over his shoulder. "Glad I could help a damsel in distress," he said with a wink and a lopsided smile.
She laughed lightly and rolled her eyes, "Thanks again Rhydar." She replied, leaning against her door with a smile. Jynna's turquoise eyes watched him for a moment and she held the scrap of paper with her number on it close to herself, wondering why she had assumed he was single, or even interested in her.
group
He gave her a two finger salute and headed down the street, dragging Will along with him. He followed the girl's directions and headed towards the house they led to, huffing and puffing from the added weight. "I'm am so not cut out for this," he grumbled to himself.
Eventually, he made it to the house. He had forgotten where the keys were. "Eh, screw it." He dumped Will on his porch and jogged back to his own house, already wincing as he anticipated the tongue-lashing he would receive from his younger brother. "Ooooh, I am so dead."
Once he had left she turned and headed back inside, letting out a small breath and locking the door behind herself. "That was…interesting," She said quietly, dropping the scrap of paper in the trash before heading to her room and flopping down on the bed. With Will's promise that he'd be back and wouldn't be as nice next time and Rhydar the quite attractive mystery boy, she had a lot to think about and so she did just that. Thinking about what had happened.
group
Rhydar couldn't delay it any longer. So, he came up with a master plan to get his brother off his back without actually revealing what he'd done tonight.
He got home and swung open the door, still bracing himself when he saw Magnus. While he was the youngest of the two, it was hard to tell. While Rhydar was skinny and always finding some sort of mischief, Magnus was heavier set with muscle, and was constantly looking over his brother's shoulder and bailing him out of whatever trouble Rhydar found himself in. His dark green eyes narrowed as he leaned on the kitchen island, arms crossed over his broad chest. "Well?" was all he said.
"I went out on a nightly walk and happened by some guy harassing this poor girl, grabbing her and all that jazz, and he was threatening her with this spray paint, so I just jumped in and came to her rescue. Dude got off lots of solid hits, including the spray paint, and I barely managed to win the scuffle with my life intact. So, really, you should be looking at me like a hero and not some idiot just rambling off this ridiculous story to save his ass." He took a breath, smiling at Magnus.
The younger brother pinched the bridge of his nose. "Just go."
"Yes!" Rhydar hopped up the stairs two at a time, eagerly throwing himself on his bed and closing his eyes.
Eventually her eyes drifted shut and she fell asleep, tossing and turning all night. When her alarm went off early the next morning she sighed, knowing that not even on the weekends she could sleep in because of her job. She hit snooze on the alarm and got a few more minutes of sleep in before sitting up and getting ready for the day.
group
Magnus chucked a pillow at Rhydar's sleeping form–still on top of the covers and fully dressed, as he had passed out instantly. Rhydar groaned and threw it back blindly.
"Up," the younger brother instructed, throwing the pillow back at Rhydar's head. "We're going out today."
"Mmmmmmlskdfjldsk!!" In other words, that was a big fat NO.
Magnus sighed and called Lucky, their Boxer dog. Rhydar instantly shot out of bed. "I'm up!" But it was too late. She burst through the door at full speed and launched herself on Rhydar's bed–and Rhydar. He fell back with a shout, assaulted with a giant, slobbery tongue.
Jynna yawned and rolled off of her bed uncerimoneously, stumbling to the bathroom and getting ready for work as fast as she could, which meant a freezing cold shower. Working at a diner did have its perks, she got a free meal every so often if the cooks messed up on the order but it did mean she had to come in quite early on the weekends or any day she worked. Pulling her still wet hair up into a high ponytail and throwing on her uniform, she grabbed her phone and money and shoved it in her pocket as she headed to the door.
group
After receiving a slobber bath courtesy of Lucky, Rhydar got an actual shower and changed into a green tank top and jeans, exchanging some of his earrings and rings for different ones. Magnus had declared that they go out to a diner for breakfast, and Rhydar wasn't one to argue against food. When they were both ready to go, they hopped in Magnus's truck. Rhydar whistled for Lucky and the tan fur-baby jumped into the bed of the truck, large tongue dangling out the side of her mouth. And then they were off to the diner.
She headed out to her car with her keys in hand, immediately heading to the diner. Her music was still blasting from the last time she drove and Jynna was grateful for it, nodding her head to the beat until she turned off the music in the diners parking lot. Getting out of the car she headed inside, punching in only a minute or two before her shift was supposed to start.
group
They stopped on the side of the road for a brief pit stop for Lucky, and because the diner probably wasn't even open yet. The dog sniffed around the grass, looking for a place to do her business. Rhydar scrolled through his social media, ignoring all the texts he got from random girls at school. Boring, boring, boring, boring. "Ooo. My masterpiece!" Someone had posted a picture of his graffiti all over one of the halls of his school, speculating who it could've been. Of course, Rhydar was one of them, along with the other school 'bad boys' and troublemakers.
Soon, they were back on the road, and Magnus pulled into the diner parking lot. Rhydar hopped out before the truck was even stopped, heading to the back to let Lucky out and put her on a harness. "C'mere, girl!" He called for her, and she pressed her body against his legs eagerly as he attached the leash to the harness. Then they all entered the diner. Lucky was wiggling her butt viciously as she dragged Rhydar behind her, as happy as a dog could be. "Yes, yes. Show off your kidney bean dance. Get it out of your system," Rhydar said.
