A Swing & A Miss

A/N - I still don't know how batting cages work :D
———————————————————————

Bakugou walked down the row of cages knowing exactly where he wanted to bat at. He saw that the greenette was still batting as he approached the empty cage next to him.

Bakugou entered the cage and noticed a small cart where you could store your belongings. Inside the cart was also a remote controller for the pitching machine. Bakugou picked up the remote then looked over at the end of the cage where he saw the pitching machine. 'I wonder how fast that thing goes. Maybe I could impress him by hitting the ball at its max speed!' Bakugou thought and looked next to him seeing that the greenette had stopped batting and was now taking off his gloves.

Once both of his gloves were off the teen reached up and took the baseball helmet off of his head. Bakugou was awestruck as he continued to stare at the boy watching him use his hand to ruffle his curly green hair which was messy due to the helmet.

Bakugou quickly turned away from the other teen when he noticed him starting to look in his direction. 'Shit! I almost got caught staring!" Bakugou thought as he tried to steady his heartbeat.

The greenette turned his head slightly to see who had entered the cage next to him. He tilted his head to the side when he saw the spikey blonde-haired teen.

'He must be new to town. I wonder what his deal here is... if he moved here what school is he going to?' The greenette thought and narrowed his eyes as he looked at the blonde's outfit which consisted of black ripped jeans a white graphic tee shirt along with black combat boots with orange laces.

The greenette looked for any accessory's on the teen, only seeing black stud earrings. 'He doesn't dress rich but you can't really go off of that alone.' He thought as he looked away from the blonde and picked up the water bottle he had put in the cart.

'Well, whoever he is I wonder if he's any good.' The greenette thought as he looked down at his phone while taking a drink from his water bottle.

Once Bakugou put on the helmet he grabbed the bat and began shifting it around in his hands as well as taking a few practice swings. 'I should bring my own bat next time, this one's pretty light.' Bakugou thought as he practiced another swing with the bat.

After a few practice swings, Bakugou grabbed the remote for the pitching machine. He was about to press the on button but stopped when he heard someone speak.

"Hey, blondey." Bakugou turned around to look at the greenette who had just spoken. "M-me?" Bakugou asked as he pointed at himself which just made the other boy snort softly as he rolled his eyes. "You're the only blonde one here, aren't you?" the boy teased. "I  guess...what uh what do you want?" Bakugou asked trying to calm his heart down and not make a complete fool of himself in front of his crush.

The teen narrowed his eyes slightly at the blonde before speaking. "Did you move here?" The boy asked. "Yeah, Is it that obvious?" Bakugou asked which made the boy crack a small smile. "Very, you didn't even change the speed of the pitcher when you first got here. That's the first thing everyone does when they get in the cage." The teen explained as he pointed to the pitching machine.

"Oh yeah, umm how fast does that go up to by the way?" Bakugou asked. The greenette raised one of his eyebrows up questionably before answering. "80 miles per hour with a seven-second wait time between pitches." He said. "Cool thanks." Bakugou thanked the teen before walking over to the pitcher and cranking it all the way to max speed.

Bakugou walked back over to the end of the cage and picked up the remote. He turned on the machine and quickly got in position. As he was waiting for the ball he glanced over at the other cage where the greenette was walking around and picking up all of the baseballs he had hit earlier.
