[ he tries to kick david off him, knee him in the groin or stomach - someplace sensitive, someplace with bruises. but it doesn't work, and after a few seconds david's straddling him, on him, hands around his throat -
returning the favor.
evan strains his neck instantly, as if that's going to make a difference, and slashes at david's face with his free hands. punching, clawing, unwilling to let david strangle him here and now, because all david has to do is lean forward to get the pressure evan had to use his entire body to get before. he bucks, tries to leverage them both over. aims more than a few punches at kidneys that have to still be aching.
and all the while it's not as strong as it should be, because he fucked up, he's furious, he's injured. he can see this ending. he'll be thrown out. forgotten. david will swan back home and get all the favor, all the adoration, and if his father tries to get revenge it'll be some rote bullshit just out of appearances and nobody will really care. not one single person. the only person who'll even remember him will be the man about to kill him.
