Brains Over Brawn

Kenny's eyes were inflamed, his jaw locked and teeth ground together. "Kenny?" Ellie softly asked, unsure if she was even looking at the same man.

"Take your damn hands off her!" Kenny ran over and ripped the man's hand away from Ellie, allowing her to finally break away, "What the fuck is wrong with you?!"

The man looked back at Kenny stunned for just a moment, but in the next, his face tightened in anger. "Who the fuck do you think you are, kid?" The man yanked his hand out of Kenny's grasp and with the other grabbed him by the shirt collar. Kenny's eyes widened as he was suddenly yanked forward. In a swift motion the man kicked out Kenny's feet, and on the way down, Kenny grabbed for his the man. There was a sound of a tear and then Kenny slammed into the pavement hard, "You sonofabitch! You ripped my clothes?!" The man seethed, "You run over here like your tough shit, but you're weak, and you're way in over your head,"

Kenny let out a small grunt and attempted to pull himself up, "We'll see about that," Ellie took a few quick steps towards him.

"I've had enough out of you," The man hissed, lifting his leg and aiming his foot right to Kenny's face. Kenny's eyes widened and then squeezed shut, bracing for the impact.

*Wham!*

Kenny's eye cracked open just in time to see Ellie's powerful athletic leg swung up, and her foot smashed right against his crotch. The man let out a **** gasp and collapsed to his knees heaving and gagging in pain. "Not the big strong man are we now?" Ellie grinned as she looked down at the man, "See I understand a thing or two about **** too, but I know right where to put that pressure..." The blonde softly finished before lifting her leg and kicking the man back right to the floor, "You are pathetic,"

Kenny let out a groan as he finally got up to his feet, cupping his right forearm. Ellie rushed over and helped Kenny settle himself, "I'm fine, I'm fine, let's just go call the cops," Just as the words left Kenny's mouth the man stumbled to his feet, pitifully running to his car and getting inside,

"Oh, you fucking little shrimp dick coward! Get back here!" Ellie furiously screamed as Kenny merely stood, lightly shaking his head as he intently watched the man's car reverse and then speed out of the parking lot. Ellie let out one final scream, "God damn it! Fucking coward! Prick! He just ran away, Kenny! He took off!"

"It's alright," Kenny calmly replied causing Ellie to spin around looking utterly bewildered. Kenny gave a sly smile and reached into his pocket, taking out a leather wallet, giving it a little shake, "Ripped his back pocket when he threw me down, so I snatched his wallet. We have his license, meaning we have his name and address, not to mention I got his plate number on his way out. He's not getting anywhere, Elle," Ellie stared back at Kenny while the teen reached into his pocket, and dialed for the police.

Ten minutes later, Kenny and Ellie gave their story to the police along with the man's wallet, plate number, and description of the car. The offer promised to update the pair once they got ahold of the man and headed off, heading to check the man's home address first. As the officer left, Ellie looked back to Kenny who let out a soft groan, cupping his forearm again. "Hey, are you okay?"

"Oh, this?" Kenny glanced to his arm, moving his hand away to reveal a shallow, skinned gash, "It's fine, landed on my arm when I fell, it just stings a little,"

Ellie's face completely turned to that of concern, "Oh my god! You're hurt?!" Ellie reached into her purse, grabbing the keys to the gym, "Come with me back to my office. I have a first aid kit, you need to get that cleaned right now!"

"Elle, it's only a scratch, it's nothing to worry about," Ellie grabbed Kenny by the wrist and tugged him right to the entrance of the gym,

"No, no, it could get infected. That's how people get...tetanus! I'm not letting you get tetanus, Kenny!" Ellie sharply retorted,

Kenny let out a half scoff, letting himself get pulled back into Club 36, "I don't think you know what you're talking about. Besides, the gym is closed now, won't you get in trouble for taking me in after hours?"

"I'm a manager, don't worry about it," Ellie denied, flicking the light switches on.

A few minutes later the pair were sitting on the loveseat, an open first aid kit laid on the table, and Ellie was lightly disinfecting Kenny's scratch, "Ouch,"

"Did that hurt?" Ellie teasingly replied,

Kenny rolled his eyes a smirked, Of course, she's teasing me. "Yeah, it burns a little bit, alright?"

"Don't be a baby," Ellie grabbed a bandage and started to wrap up Kenny's arm, "So, am I going to learn why you were still outside the gym thirty minutes after you left? And I'd also love to hear why quiet, wouldn't hurt a fly, Kenny was ready to take on some scumbag in the parking lot,"

Kenny looked away from Ellie, his lips pursed, and he let out a slow exhale, "I was still around because I wasn't ready to go home and after our talk...I just needed a bit, so I was looking at the stars," He shrugged, "Then when I heard the commotion and looked over, I just...I saw you in trouble and thought I could help...I guess you didn't really need it though, huh?"

Ellie reached over, taking hold of Kenny's chin so he would look at her again, "Just because I kicked him in the nuts doesn't mean you didn't help me. You got him away from me, you took the risk to try and fight him, and at the end of the day, you used your big fucking brain to make sure the cops could go find that fucker. You helped me, Kenny, and I can not thank you enough for it," Kenny looked back at Ellie gratefully, a little surprised by the sincerity in her words, "I fucking hate that I let him touch me so much; I owe you so much for getting him away from me,"

Kenny's brow raised, his mind flashing back to the moment in the parking lot, remembering how bright red Ellie's face was getting, and then connecting back to their moment in the hotel room right as he grabbed her waist and his thumb pressed against her mound, just under her navel. "Elle?" Kenny leaned in and lightly pressed his lips against her lips. Ellie let out a soft, surprised hum, and for the first few seconds, she didn't pull back; in fact, she pressed in, kissing the teen back.

Then she shoved him away, "W-What are you doing?!" Ellie gasped, and Kenny slid closer to her, putting one arm around the small of her back and resting the other on her thigh, "Ken...don't..."

Despite her protests, Ellie instinctively spread her legs open and let out a breathy exhale. "Ellie, I don't want to do anything you don't want me to do, but...I have to tell you; I'm not sorry for the other day. Honestly, I can't stop thinking about what we did in that hotel together. I know I should feel guilty but I just...don't. You were so fucking amazing,"

Ellie shuddered, chewing on her lower lip as little bolts of pleasure shot through her body, "Y-Yeah? It's been...stuck in your head that much, huh?" Kenny's hand inched further up Ellie's thigh, and the blonde bit down on her lower lip with a pleased hum, "T-That's good..." Her desires escaped in a soft whisper,

"Yeah? So if I moved up further..." Kenny eased his hand up her thigh at a ginger pace, and Ellie moaned out. His hand worked between her legs, and at the same moment, he leaned in against her. A hesitant kiss was planted on Ellie's lips once again, then another and another, and each time Ellie's lips started to work back against his more and more. Kenny curled his middle finger and dragged it along the crotch of Ellie's pants, gathering up a surprising amount of sticky juice even through the two layers. Kenny moved his hand away, looking down at his hand as he rubbed his finger and thumb together, spreading Ellie's nectar around.

"Y-you got me wet," Ellie shakily said, "W-Where is this going?" Kenny looked back to her, taken by surprise once again; bold move or not, he was in no way prepared for that question, "Se-Seriously," Ellie trembled,

Ellie intently stared back into Kenny's eyes with a hungry desire. She's looking at me so... differently. In the hotel, there was some level of holding back, but I can see it in her eyes now, she wants this... Ellie's lips parted, and she began to let out soft pants. She's been driving me crazy all week, and now...now she's letting me have her?

"K-Ken," Ellie whispered while taking a light hold of his shirt, "I'll have sex with you if that's what you want. I owe you after tonight...I can return the favor,"

Kenny blinked a few times, then wet his lips, "Actually, what I want is just to ask you a question, and I want the truth," Ellie looked back at Kenny nervously but nodded, "Even though you're with Will, can you admit that you want this as much as I do?" Ellie's eyes widened, and her entire body tensed.
