Rival- A person who is competing for the same object or goal as another, or who tries to outdo another; competitor.
In just about everything, they were rivals.
Insult after insult, trying to outdo the other. Kicks versus slashes competing for strength. Everything became a challenge for them. Who could fight the most, who could gather the most food, who could get there first, who could survive through the most, who could drink the most, who could send the other over first.
And through their rivalry, their competitions, challenges, contests, fights, duels, and dares, they stayed close. Their relationship was odd, no doubt, but it defined their friendship.
On the surface, it looked as if they hated each other, but in truth, the shared a mutual respect for each other.
They lived in competition so much that it was hard for them to imagine life without it. So they both subconsciously never pushed the other too far, just to keep it that way.
It's hard to find a worthy rival, that's why they both appreciate the one they have.
