      The sun beat down, white and hot. Now, Steve wasn’t a stranger to the outdoors, but he was to spending time outside in them with his girlfriend’s kid brother tagging along for the ride. Steve stared down at Mike for a moment, before an easygoing smile slid over his lips. Well, if you get just good enough and the pitcher is being a JERK to your teammates… He let his words trail off in commitment to the joke. He was kidding of course — Steve was aware of the displeased countenance he was displaying. Given his age, it might not have been the best topic to speak of so lightly, but Steve had heard worst when he was younger. Mike’s mood seemed to remain stuck in a ditch of aggravation all the same and so Steve was resolved to help him with that. It didn’t have to be awkward.

          Clenched fingers relaxed and loosened, Steve straightening his posture. The baseball bat within his grip was swiveled over his shoulder. On occasion, he could recall the innocence he’d once had himself. His confident pose gained an exhibition of strength.  You saying you don’t WANT to know how to swing a bat? It’s like…like the modern day equivalent of swinging a sword.

    ❝ I’m, like, ninety percent sure the modern day equivalent of swinging a sword is still swinging a sword, but whatever you say. ❞

Mike had to give it to him—-he was really trying to make this ‘bonding experience’ work. That, of course, didn’t make him want to do it any more than he had a second ago, but he had to give credit where credit was due. It did, however, make him feel obligated to participate, anyway.

With a long, withering look plastered on his face and his eyes trained on the older boy’s face, he comes to the conclusion that this probably isn’t as bad as it could be. Steve could’ve chosen football instead of baseball, and he didn’t need to think to know that this beat being mercilessly tackled to the ground over and over ( yeah, he’s pretty sure he wouldn’t be able to outrun him, even with all the strength he’s gotten from biking all over town—-he’d be eating grass before he even got ten feet away ). It’s that thought that has his shoulders dropping with a resigned sigh, supposing he should be thankful that this is all Steve has planned ( at least, he hopes ).


    ❝ Yeah, fine, okay. What do I do first? ❞
