Make Me

"Tina, come on, this is the sixth Equestranauts episode in a row," Jimmy Junior whined.

"I invited you over for the marathon," Tina said. "What were you expecting?"

"Well, yeah," he said. "But six episodes without a break is too much. Can we watch something else for a bit?"

"But this is a good episode!"

"You've said that about all of them so far!"

"They're showing all the pre-reboot stuff, it's all good."

"Can you just change the channel for like ten minutes?" he asked.

"No."

"Please?"

"No."

"Oh come on!"

"Come over here and make me," she challenged.

It was like the energy in the room changed. She stared him down, a hard glint in her eyes, and it was rousing something in him. He eyed the remote control on the arm of the couch beside her.

"Don't think I won't," he warned.

"Try it."

He only hesitated for a second before he lunged at her. He tried to hold her back with one hand and swipe the remote with the other, but she saw the move before he got there and braced for him while tucking the remote somewhere behind her. He tried to slip his arms around her to get it, but she just pressed in closer to the corner of the couch.

Jimmy Junior eventually managed to pry her from the corner only for her to drag him down off the couch and to the floor. The bowl of popcorn perched precariously on the edge of the coffee table spilled out as they rolled and hit one of the legs. Tina still somehow managed to keep the remote control in her grasp. It didn't make any sense. He was the one who was formerly on the school's wrestling team, and yet she was the one who was freakishly strong. None of his moves seemed to work. It was time to try a different tactic.

He rolled them again, and once he was on top of her, he leaned down and pressed a kiss to her lips. The effect was nearly instantaneous. She only tensed in surprise for a second before she was kissing back, turning suddenly docile underneath him. The one hand she was using to try to push him off was now being used to pull him in closer. Jimmy Junior had automatically closed his eyes in the kiss, but now he cracked one open to try to watch for her grip to loosen on the prize. He let his tongue slide against hers, and when she moaned in approval he wasn't able to stop himself from smirking against her mouth.

Jimmy Junior didn't know if that was what tipped her off or if she really was just that good, but seconds later, when he tried again to make a grab for the remote, she was ready for him. Tina slipped out from beneath him and moved back up to her spot on the couch, leaving him to fall flat on the floor.

He pushed himself up enough to look at her, and now she was the one smirking. Jimmy Junior supposed he could be mad about it, but what he was feeling was closer to admiration for her more than anything else. Besides, in a way he had gotten the break he wanted, so all he did was huff a little for show and move back to the couch beside her.
