Fuck, man! [ another punch, right on top of the other one, right on top of the bruise that was already there, and that shit had to be on purpose. mickey disengages for a second to shake that off as well, letting out a cackle as he holds up a finger to point at alec. ] That one was shitty and you know it.
[ bad form, asshole. but also, not unexpected. half of the people mickey goads into fighting are more pissed off than he is. it's kind of like a business transaction, at this point, except this is less about doing what his dad tells him to do and keeping a strong hold on his alpha status, more about therapy.
therapy and getting yourself punched in the jaw until you stop being so fucking shaken up about a crappy situation.
to mickey's credit, he does learn, and he does improve pretty quickly, getting a little more serious now and holding up his hands near his face, looking like a pretty classic boxer (maybe he wasn't formally trained, but he was raised by a lot of criminals). the arm guarding the bruised up side of his face doesn't budge much, ready to block and protect, and the other throws out a half-hearted jab or two, looking for a good opening. ]
