Time stood still as we stared at each other like animals sizing up our opponent

_{That last sentence was totally a blunder on my part and I probably should have phrased it somewhat less as an attack or challenge. Essentially at that point I knew I had dug my own grave. Metaphorically of course. Image Source}

What happened next was just a flurry of movement and I lost my breath along the way. I don't recall what happened first - him moving his hands or him moving me - physically - it was kind of a blur. I wasn't exactly caught off-guard either because I had brought this upon myself.

The next thing I knew, I was on the bed and the blankets were shoved ontop of me, then what felt like a gazillion pillows thumping down one after the other... I raised my hands covering my face while emitting the faintest

I couldn't really help it. It was funny although he was taking this so seriously! My laughing wasn't helping my situation at all.

The pillows ceased a-piling, silence - absence... and then BAMMM

On my bum! He freaking got me on the bum _{the bastard}. "Ouch! F*%k!" He had conveniently left that non pillow covered. Strategic as always. I should have known _{but I was too busy laughing.}

While I was still slightly chuckling and rubbing my poor derriere, he sneakily crept up to me, softly planting a kiss on my cheek while rubbing my recently assaulted padding, whispering "I'm sorry babe, but I couldn't resist", handing me the nerf and safety glasses. Shot me one dead straight look with a gleam in his eye and then - he was gone...

And that's how the nerf war started.

And that's how the nerf war ended.

The challenge was answered ... he did have the balls - and he proved it.
