Hey, everyone! Here's another update from me for xXKissingSinXx's 100 Prompt Challenge :)

This one is quite a bit shorter than the others, and I consider it to be slightly AU. I hope you all enjoy it.

Prompt #16 Duel

Draco wiped the sweat from his brow with his left hand. This was a hell of a lot harder than he thought it would be when he brought it up. He needed to practice more then, it seemed.

"Give up yet, pretty boy?" Blaise grunted, trying his best to beat his Slytherin housemate at his own game.

The blonde gritted his teeth together, his face scrunching in concentration, "Hell no! There's no way I would ever lose a duel to you of all people, Zabini." The half black boy merely huffed in response.

They bent and twisted, avoiding the others' attempt to end it already. The tangible tension in the room would probably suffocate an innocent bystander, but these two reveled in it. Thirty agonizing, pain filled minutes had gone by so far, but it seemed like hours. And there weren't any signs of giving in from either of the two. They loved the challenge.

Draco groaned as he stretched his arm farther than it could comfortably move, "Just a little farther!" he cried, then sighed deeply in relief as he reached his destination.

Blaise, equally sore and roughed up, caught his breath before making a challenging accusation, "There's no way you can beat me, Malfoy. You don't have what it takes! You're too much of a coward. Just quit already."

"Coward? I'm the coward? Ha! Says the guy who ran screaming like a little girl when a tiny mouse scurried through our dorm! You're the one who's going to lose!" the blonde shouted, adrenaline rushing through his veins and allowing him to inch a little farther away with his right foot.

"That was not a tiny mouse, and you know it! That was a rat! Rats carry disease.. And fleas.. A- a- an -and all kinds of disgusting things. There's no way I'm risking my own health just because a stupid rat decides to take up residence in Theo's sock drawer!" Blaise shivered at the memory, but reached out as far as he could in an attempt to throw Draco off balance.

"There's a rat! There's a rat!" the young Malfoy teased, trying to make the darker of the two jump and cower in fear.

Blaise rolled his eyes, "Not going to work! You aren't getting out of this that easily," he flashed a cocky smirk before moving his right hand to the correct position.

"We'll see about that!" he grinned triumphantly while planting his foot with ease, "Left foot, red!"

Did you catch on that they were playing Twister? :) I thought this little drabble up after playing it with some friends during our snow days.
