It started with a comment about Katherine.
Shubble and Joey were… not exactly getting along, but coexisting. Playful bickering, as usual, but with less fistfighting.
They were working on a school project in Shubble's house.
Joey and Shubble weren't friends. Everybody knew that. Even if they did hang out a lot, those hangouts almost always started or ended in a fight. But they were doing better this time. They were fighting, of course, but not a FISTfight. Just bickering.
Until Joey made a comment on how Katherine was going to marry him when they were adults. Of course Shubble couldn't let that slide! Katherine had made it clear that she wasn't ready to date them yet. So their bickering devolved into an argument. And the argument devolved into, well…
Shubble straddling Joey, one fist gripping Joey's shirt and holding him up and the other fist raised and knuckles bloody, ready to punch. Her nose was bleeding and the side of her jaw was swelling. Her ribs were sore from an earlier kick.
Joey had his hands around her neck, applying a not damaging amount of pressure, but enough to threaten and leave a bruise. His eye was swollen shut and his grin was filled with blood. His ankle was being crushed by Shubble's foot and was rapidly bruising.
A drop of blood from Shubble's nose dripped onto Joey's face. Shubble stared at it in surprise, dropping the fist and swiping at her nose.
"...huh." she rasped when the hand came back bloody. "I guess even assholes can get a good enough hit."
At that Joey started laughing. He dropped his hands from her neck to curl in on himself with laughter. Shubble joined his laughter, snorting and falling backwards with a slight wince at the pain in her ribs.
"... wanna play Mario kart?" Joey ventured when his laughter faded.
Shubble snorted again and stood up, helping him up. "Sure. Let's wash off our literally bloody hands before we grab a controller though, huh dipshit?"
The project laid abandoned on the table, half done as Joey and Shubble played the game with their clean and bandaged hands grasping the steering wheel controllers.
That's what Katherine walked in on. Her two best friends/half partners bleeding and bruised playing fucking Mario kart! While still actively bleeding!
"...What the FUCK HAPPENED TO YOU TWO?!"
