"You mean I don't have to just sit there and take it?" Minoru shouted, dusting the snow off his coat. This time, it was his turn for the sly grin. Isamu could throw, but now, Minoru could dodge? Oh, that evened the odds quite a bit. "It's your money, Bro. I paid for the first round."

Isamu thought for a moment, and then pulled out his wallet.

"It is for charity." he decided, paying Harley and taking the next two snowballs into his hands.

Minoru relaxed his body, weight roughly centered, so as not to give Isamu an idea of where he might move. Isamu was quite the brilliant tactician, and years of watching Minoru do his tricks made it difficult to pull off any kind of feint. But this time, it worked. He shifted just enough, feigned right and jumped clear over the snowball that Isamu threw.

"Yeah! Now that's what I'm... EEEK!"

The last snowball hit him in the upper back just as his feet touched the ground.

"talking about?" Isamu raised an eyebrow.

Minoru shook the snow out of his hair, laughing. Some things really would never change.

"All right, all right." he came out of the snowbank with his hands raised. "You win. I surrender!"
