Raza usually didn't like sparring with anyone outside of the King's Crew, for a number of reasons. But the foremost was that there weren't many others who could keep him in check when he got out of hand. He didn't always get out of hand of course. He had learned when and where to flip the switch. But when he did dive into that state, he dove in deep. There was no stopping until either whatever in front of him was crushed, or one of the others reeled him in.

So he was more than a little worried when Nenet had pulled him away and said she had wanted to spar. He just… really didn't want to risk going berserk on her. He knew she was a titan and everything. She could hold her own in a fight. But he just didn't like going all out against anyone outside of the King's Crew. The flirty feline included.

But she had insisted on going toe to toe with him, and she wouldn't take no for an answer. Well… she might have, but Raza was never good at telling assertive people no in the first place. So here he was trying and failing to… do something.

He backed up at Nenet jumped into the air and kicked at him, raising his arm to block the attack. She kicked back off of him, and then landed at the ground and lunged at him again. Raza moved out of the way again, avoiding her. This time when she landed it was on all fours, and then kicked one of her legs back sending a blast of fire at him.

Raza raised both of his arms and blocked the flames, and when he closed his arms he could see her already running at him again. "C'mon big guy, this ain't gonna be much of a real spar if ya won't fight back," she said as she kept swinging at him. He kept on stepping back and dodging her.

"Sorry, it's just…" He raised his hand and shoved her back, and Nenet blocked it. The force behind made her slide back across the ground. That had been the closest thing that could be considered an attack that he had done all day. "I just don't wanna hurt you," he said nervously.

Nenet sighed. "I told you, I can handle it. C'mon big guy, show me what you can really do. I ain't made of glass," she said signaling for him to come.

He rubbed the back of his head. "Yeah, I know but…"

"I've seen you go all out with Lars and Pavo. I even see you scrap with that shrimp Dagon, so what's the deal?" she asked. She knew he was the timid type, but she figured after a while he would shake the jitters off and get serious.

"But that's different," he said.

She groaned. "Why? And if you say it's because I'm a girl I'm gonna have to knock ya block off," she warned, holding her fist up.

Raza quickly waved his hands. "No! Of course not! But when I get out of control it's just hard to reel myself back in. I just don't want to end up going too far and really trying to hurt you," he said, shaking his head.

"Big guy, I have seen you at your worst. And I'm telling you I got this. So c'mon," she said before running at him again. Raza braced himself, and then watched as Nenet ran around him. He tried to keep up with her movements, and when she turned and dashed straight for him he raised his arms and tried to grab her.

She slipped past his hand however, pouncing on top of him. She wrapped her arms around his neck, and her legs around his torso. Raza looked confused as she smirked towards him, and even more so when she leaned down and pressed her lips up against his. The goliath's eyes went wide as she kissed him, his mind going blank.

Nenet continued to kiss him for a bit, and then grew a devious look on her face. She raised her feet and then kicked off of his chest, knocking him back onto the ground. Raza fell onto his back, and then grunted when Nenet landed on top of him with a giggle. "Knocked ya off your feet," she said.

"Ugh… I…" Raza was still trying to collect his thoughts, not exactly knowing what to say about what had just happened.

Nenet laughed at his reaction and then leaned down closer. "You know, you kind of confuse me, big guy. Aqua told me about goliaths one time. How you guys are all about battle and the fight. That you're like, super aggressive and stuff," she said, flicking her finger across his chin. She looked like a cat who was playing with her prey. "And how you guys have different styles and 'taste' depending on your tribe."

Raza's face began heating up as she leaned in closer. "But you kind of make me curious. I can't tell what your deal is. You act all timid and stuff. I mean you could probably throw me off easy right now, but here I am," she said, shrugging both of her shoulders. "Is it that you want me to be on top of you? Maybe you like having someone play around with you?" she asked.

He stared back at her, trying and failing to slow down the beating in his chest. "I mean, not that I mind doing that or anything. But I gotta say I'm interested in seeing your more wild side. Seeing you snap on the battlefield like you do is always making me curious. If you get pushed far enough do you get that like in the bedroom too or…?"

Raza, though still embarrassed, thought for a moment. It wasn't like he was ever really intimate with girls before, so he wouldn't know. When he got riled up enough he would go into his more aggressive mode, so… did the same logic carry over. Wouldn't that be dangerous?

Nenet giggled when she saw him getting lost in his thoughts. "Guess you don't know either huh? Well, maybe when you find out you can let me know. I wanna know what type of ride I'll be in for when I tackle this bull," she teased. "And after we figure that out, well…"

She leaned down and then began whispering in his ear, and Raza's face quickly turned crimson. After Nenet finished she sat up and then slid back to get off of him. As she did she felt something brush against her leg. She looked down to see what it was, and then went wide eyed and blushed herself. "Whoa, someone got excited…" she muttered.

She turned and began walking off, but suddenly she felt a large hand grip her tail. She grunted as she was yanked back and then into the air, coming face to face with the goliath. "Hey!" she said, grabbing the base of her tail. "What the hell?!"

"Let's do it," Raza said, growing a look on his face Nenet recognized. "Let's go."

Nenet stared back at him, and then smirked. "You mean let's fight or do something else?" she asked.

Raza smirked back at her, his expression and demeanor a complete 180 from what it was a few moments ago. The switch had definitely been flipped. "Either or," he said, twisting his wrist and spinning Nenet's tail around his hand.

She bounced slightly and winced, but then smirked again. "Alright then big guy, let's do it," she said before raising her hands. She blasted him in the face with a ball of flames, and the moment he loosened his grip she slipped loose and fell to the ground, landing on her feet. She charged forward and then kicked one of his feet from under him, then jumped up and landed a punch to his chest.

Raza stumbled back, but quickly regained his footing and then rushed forward at her, a smile on his face. He swung down at her, but Nenet moved out of the way. She nimbly avoided each swing, and this time she could feel that he was putting his all into every swing this time. The force behind it was making her hair raise.

She laughed as she jumped up towards him, kicking off of his fist and then landing on her shoulder. He reached up to try and grab her, but she moved around and onto his back. "Having trouble, big guy? Can't get a hold of me?" she asked teasingly as she leaned over his shoulder.

Raza reached up to grab her again, but she moved to the other shoulder. "You really seemed riled up. You got something big planned for when you catch me?" she asked. "Maybe you're gonna drag me down to that forge of yours? Whip up some chains and a cute little collar so you can get a handle on me?"

Raza spun around, reaching back for her again, but she jumped off of him and then rolled behind him. The goliath's adrenaline was pumping as he turned around to charge at her again, but when he did she tackled his chest. He held his ground, but Nenet lunged forward and bit his neck.

Raza grunted as her teeth pricked his skin. Nenet had bitten with quite a bit of force, but it wasn't enough to actually break skin. "Come here kitty…" He brought his hand up to his chest, slamming it against his torso. Nenet had kicked off and away from him before he could make contact. "I'm gonna shackle you up good!"

Nenet laughed. "Kinky. But you have to catch me first." She raised both of her hands and fired a blast of flames at him. One so big the goliath was completely engulfed in there. Nenet kept the blast up. Raza was the sturdiest one out of Lars's gang, so she wasn't worried about hurting him. But she could push him back a bit.

Or at least she thought she could.

Raza's arm came shooting out of the flames in front of her, grabbing both of her wrists in one hand. She gasped as he pulled her forward and then lifted her up into the air. Nenet wiggled in his grasp as she tried to pull herself free, but Raza's grip was ironclad.

Raza chuckled, a smug smile on his face. He reached up and cupped her face with his thumb and index finger. "Caught you," he said.

Nenet stared back at him, feeling a chill up her spine. "Yeah ya did. So what you gonna do now?" she asked. Whenever Raza got like this he really was like a completely different person. He was like a beast. The way he was looking at her was like she was a plaything kind of unnerved her… and made her excited too.

"Play."

He reached up and then grabbed her tail. Nenet felt him wrap it around one of her fingers, and then he suddenly yanked up. She yelped as he kept tugging on it, keeping his grip on her wrists. "Ah, fuck!" she cursed.

Raza watched as she wiggled and kicked her feet. "Having fun?" he asked.

Nenet winced for a few moments, and then turned and smiled towards him. "We're getting there, big guy. But I hope that's not all you got…"

"Sorry… like really sorry..."

Raza looked down as he made his way back towards the castle, carrying Nenet in his arms. The girl looked exhausted, her tail swaying back and forth as she let out a yawn. "It's a fine big guy. I was the one who wanted to see your wild side. And you delivered as promised," she said. "You know you don't have to carry me like this, right?"

"Yeah, I know, but… you just seemed sort of tired and…" Nenet huffed, a small blush on her cheeks. She didn't often get carried princess style. Lars usually just threw her over his shoulder like a caveman. While her and the goliath hadn't actually done anything down and dirty, he had poked and prodded at her quite a bit, and she was sore in a lot of places. "Sorry again."

"Stop being sorry. You think I'm not used to a little roughhousing?" she asked, looking more than a little annoyed. She could have gone into her goddess mode and had more of a fight, but she wanted to see just how rough Raza was going to get with her. She reached up and cupped his face. "It was fun. The fighting, and all the other stuff too."

Raza reached up and rubbed his head. "Well, that's good to know I guess. I mean, I… I thought it was kind of fun too." That was the first time he had cut loose in that way. It was different, but nice. "We should be careful though. I might go too far if you push me like that again."

"Well don't tease me with a good time," Nenet said, leaned up and kissed his cheek. She then whispered in his ear. "Next time we'll go to your forge. So you might wanna have that collar and chains ready."

Raza's face lit up. "I-I can't go making stuff like that!"

Nenet laughed again. "Sure you can. I believe in you," she said, winking at him.

Raza let out a sigh as he finished hammering away at the project he'd been working on for the last few hours. He reached down and picked up the metal collar, looking over it closely. It seemed like it was the right size. He just needed to add a little nametag, and then he could get working on the chains and-

"What you working on?"

Raza yelled and jumped, the collar flying into the air. He reached out, bumbling with it in his hands for a bit before finally grasping it and clutching it to his chest. "Mama!" he said looking down at Ashley. "W-what are you doing here?!" His mama usually never came down to his part of the forge.

Ashley shrugged. "You didn't answer when I knocked. And dinner is ready… so, you making a collar? Someone special order that for a pet?" she asked.

He chuckled nervously. "Uh… yeah. Special order. For a client. That's it," he said, nodding.

Ashley hummed. "Alright, sorry to interrupt then. I'll let you finish up. Dinner will be waiting for you when you're done," she said, turning around to leave.

"Thanks mama," Raza said, wiping the sweat from his forehead. That had been a close one. The last thing he wanted was his mama thinking he was doing… something like that down here. He wasn't even sure why he was doing it. Nenet had probably been joking, right? The thought made him blush even deeper, and he found himself reaching up to cover his bleeding nose.

As Ashley left, she clicked her tongue. Raza was a sweet boy, but he had always been such a terrible liar. She had a feeling this had something to do with that feline girl that was always running around with him and Lacerta. She didn't get it herself, but he was turning into a man, and he was a titan. So who was she to call him out on it?

A/N: Fic for onelastfic of Raza and Nenet having some one-on-one time.
