Chapter 9: She Might Be Mad
"Team 3 vs Team 4, winner Team 4." the umpire announced then waited a few seconds until everyone went silent again.
"Team 1 vs Team 4 will begin in 8 minutes." the umpire bellowed as he went back with the rest of the coaches until the game started again.
"So I guess this is it, either I make the team or not," Rei released a slight chuckle as he looked down at Yuxin who was still leaning against his chest, if he didn't know any better he would have thought she was asleep with how slow her breathing was like she's on the brink of losing her consciousness as she feels the safeness and security of his grasp.
"You will do fine. I don't wanna sound overconfident but it's not like they can hit your fastball plus if they do, I bet you have a pitch that throws off the batter's timing." Yuxin responded with a rosy smile as she looked up to meet his eyes.
"As observant as ever detective Yuxin," he joked as they both went silent just looking into each other's eyes not wanting to leave each other's side as time went by Rei needed to leave but they could see they both didn't want that to happen.
"You need to go, can't have your team lose because they're missing a member," Yuxin jabbed with a cute chuckle as she lifted her head off his chest, and grabbed his hand.
"Sigh, yeah I know, I'll talk to you after the game," Rei said as he stood up from his seat, he grabbed his bag with his left hand as his right hand was still holding onto Yuxin's hand.
"Close your eyes." He said with a cheeky smile on his face, but she seemed slightly hesitant but full of anticipation on her face as she closed her eyes. He took his hand away which he could see left her a bit dejected but that look vanished as her face became red as she felt his hand caressing her face as he leaned in and got right next to her ear.
"Be careful, for what you wish for my little wolf," He whispered in her ears seductively, his voice soft and warm like a cool winter breeze, lulling her into a trance. His breath caressed her ear, sending a shiver down her spine and making her heart beat faster. She felt her face flush and her cheeks turn a dangerous shade of red, but still, she kept her eyes closed, savoring the moment.
- Flick
"Haha got you back, wish me luck." Rei said while laughing as he sprinted off to the home team dugout without looking back.
As for Yuxin, she was so embarrassed she dug her face into her hands but at the corner of her lips, she held a perfectly charming smile full of love and happiness.
'Haha, she will be mad at me.' Rei chuckled, as he finally got to their dugout where everyone was waiting for him.
"Damn man about time, having fun with your girlfriend there?" Star commented with a smile on his face, as Stiles just chuckled in the back.
"Yeah, but she might be mad at me haha." He replied as he got his other bat that wasn't used and went to sit down next to Star and Stiles.
"Oh yeah, trouble in paradise already?" this time Stiles jabbed.
"Nothing to worry about," he said with a smile on his face as he just looked towards the field with a mysterious smile on his face as the umpire walked to the plate.
"Alright, the final game of the tryouts. Team 1 vs Team 4 will begin now so come please line up and shake hands." the umpire said as he motioned for them to go to home plate. As he looked at the team in front of them, he didn't see anything special except one person who had a slim body standing at about 5'9 (175.26 cm) with slightly fluffy black hair and dead fish-like eyes that had a mixture of blue and dark blue making a nice mixture.
Although he had dead fish-like eyes he was smiling as they shook hands, not a smile full of confidence or arrogance but looking like he was having fun.
"Okay since Team 1 has the Home team dugout they'll hit first." the umpire announced as they all went back to their respective dugouts but of course, as he was going back to their dugout he threw a smile at Yuxin, to which she just turned her head in the other direction acting like she's mad but he could see a cheeky smile on the corner of her lips that she's trying to fight against causing him to shake his head with a slight chuckle as he arrived the dugout.
"Alright let's just go with the same batting order as earlier," Rei announced as he went to sit down next to Stars and Stiles again on the front bench.
"Okay." This time Kyle and Austin spoke for the first time since they arrived in the dugout.
As Kyle walked towards the batter's box and Austin went to the deck.
"So are you guys nervous?" Star asked with a bitter smile on his face.
"No."
"Don't make me smack you like I did Stiles."
Stiles and Rei both responded at the same time but with different responses.
"Man, that shit still stings, ass," Stiles said as he tried to rub his back where he smacked him.
"Haha don't worry we'll be fine," Rei chuckled as the umpire started the game and Kyle got into his stance.
"Yeah, I guess you're right. Anyway, I saw Coach Smith go up to you and Sun Yuxin earlier, What did he want?" Stiles asked him as he looked at him.
"Nothing much just saying I had a good game, and he's looking forward to my performance in this game," he said as he saw Kyle hit a sinker towards center field straight towards the fielder, who was the guy with black hair diving for the ball and catching it for an impressive play.
"Oh nice catch, and yeah he might want to recruit you for JV which might be why Sora Nakamura watching even though he's in varsity, he might drop down just to catch for you and is watching the game for the famous child prodigy," Star responded as Stiles just nodded, while Austin and Kyle switched places as Kyle went to sit at the back of the dugout.
"Maybe but I and Yuxin weren't exactly welcoming," he said with a slight smile.
"Yeah, we both saw I got shivers from just watching." Stars said as he shuddered to make an example.
"I figured, coming from the ice couple haha," Stiles said as Austin hit a cutter for a single.
"Guess it's my turn now," Star said as he got up and went towards the batter's box with his gear.
"So what are you gonna do after this?" Stiles asked Rei.
"Nothing much. I saw a cafe not far from here so I might go eat there and then go home maybe," he said knowing this is the first day of school but he's gonna skip it.
"Oh mind if Star and I tag along?"
"Sure I don't mind but are you sure you can skip school?" he responded.
"Yeah, we're both keeping up with our studies and have good grades in middle school so we might as well hang out together," Stiles said as Star hit a fastball towards center field straight towards the guy with black hair, as Austin was going to tag up thinking he was going to make it because the fielder was pretty deep but as he was going to take his third step the second baseman caught the ball from center field, catching Austin slightly off guard.
He had to dive back to first barely escaping getting out by a slight second.
Runner on first with 2 outs.
"Guess it's my turn." Stiles chuckled before going to the batter's box where Star and Stiles slapped hands as they passed by each other.
"So what were you guys talking about?" Star asked as soon as he sat down.
"Nothing much, just that the three of us are gonna hang out after this," Rei responded.
"Okay but what about your girlfriend?" Star asked with a smile.
"She might be mad at me remember, plus her dad's the principal I don't think she'll want to skip school," he replied as Stiles hit a foul ball.
"Yeah that's true, but she might not be happy with you skipping school either."
"I know but it'll be fine haha," he said with a slight chuckle as Stiles hit a changeup for a double towards the left field with him on second base and Austin on third base.
"Ugh, now it's my turn," he said as he got up and grabbed his 2nd bat which is unused.
"Hit another homer." Star bellowed with a laugh.
"Maybe," Rei responded as he left the dugout towards the right batter's box.
'He's only got four pitches: the fastball, cutter, sinker, changeup, and his windup is terrible nothing special, but I already hit a homer earlier so I'll just see what happens.' he thought to himself as he got into his batting stance.
