The Sideline

2: Now?

~SEAN'S POV~

It was Monday and the team was at practice. We were playing 3v3s and Ross, Andrew, and I were playing against Harry, Pat, and Jimmy. We were 1-1, but in the last 10 seconds Jimmy passes a ball to Harry from the outside, and he kicks it in the goal. Jimmy patted Harry on his bum causing a sinking feeling in my chest and heat all around my body. Was this...jealously? No couldn't be that's nothing Jimmy was just praising him. I shook it off and went to grab some water.

Harry grabbed his water bottle squirting some into his mouth and looked over at me. I decided it was time to flirt back so I squirted some water in my mouth biting my lip afterwards and winking. I went back on the field to practice knowing he was following behind me.

After practice I was putting my things away in my bag when Harrison came up to me and gently grabbed my arm.

"Hey what to you say about grabbing a drink later tonight?" He asked.

My heart started racing did he......just......ask me out? "I'd say that sounds great." I said smiling. Somehow I managed to keep my cool despite my heart trying to take off and run out of my chest.

"Okay great, pick u up at 8" he replied. And with that, he walked away. I stood there surprised until finally Jimmy snapped me out of it.

"Dude are you gonna stand there all day we rode here together," he said jokingly.

"Uhh yeah... let's go," I turned my head towards him.

"You okay? What's wrong?" He asked.

"I'll tell you when we get home let's just go" I shook it off and started walking.

~HARRY'S POV~

It was about 7:50 when I left my apartment to go pick Sean up to go out. I arrived at exactly 8 o'clock but I didn't want to seem to uptight so I just sat on my phone to pass the time. 15 minutes passed and I decided to knock on his apartment door.

Jimmy answered the door with his usual bright smile, "Hey harry!" He hugged me.

"Hey Jimmy is Ugo ready to go?" I asked.

"Okoli your hot date is here," he yelled in the direction I assumed Sean was hiding. Sean stepped out from behind Jimmy looking fantastic if I do say so myself. Jimmy disappeared somewhere inside as Sean stepped out closing the door.

"You look hot," I told him as I smirked at him. He blushed looking down at his toes then back at me.

"Not so bad yourself," he smiled. We headed to my car and of course I opened the door for him and walked around to the drivers side.

"So how long have you been living with jimmy?" I asked.

"Actually only a few months, uhh coming up on 3 in August." He nodded. "Yeah we moved in with each other when we found out about the new team forming and we had already known each other for awhile so why not?"

"Yeah that's a great idea I used to live with one of my teammates but now I live alone," I replied.

We arrived at the pub and we both got out of the car and went in. We sat down at the bar and I ordered us both drinks.

"So have you ever done this before" I looked over at Sean.

"You mean sit at a bar with an incredibly hot guy?" Sean smirked. "Nah," he said pouting his lip a little.

I laughed. "Well I mean have you ever been with... a guy before?" I hesitated.

"Woah Woah this is a date?" Sean looked around confusingly.

My face turned bright red and my eyes went wide. "Well I-I thought I-" Sean covered his smile with his fist and I squirmed in my seat.

"I'm totally kidding calm down, no I haven't but I guess it's just something about you," Sean explained.

I let out a big breath. Something about me? I got butterflies. "You are quite the Joker," I laughed. Then out of no where came the words flying out of my mouth, "Kiss me."

"Now?" Asked Sean

I laughed, but then became serious as I glared at his plump lips, "Yes, now."

Sean moved closer to me looking into my eyes with his while gently placing his hand on the base of my neck. He connected our lips ever so slightly, leaving me wanting more. I placed both my hands on his broad shoulders so I could lean into the kiss. I could feel sparks flying the way I've never felt before as he ran his fingers through my hair. I broke the kiss against my wishes, not letting it go to far.

"I've definitely never done that before" Sean said catching his breath. I smirked while looking into his eyes.

The night went on as we drank and socialized. I did make sure not to drink too much so I could still drive him home. When we finally decided to leave, it was past midnight and he was definitely tipsy.

We arrived at his apartment and as I knocked on the door Jimmy came to answer.

"Hey guys. I'm assuming you had a great time," he said trying to keep Sean from falling.

"Yeah.." I smiled. Sean cupped my check and planted a heavy kiss on my lips. Jimmy was surprised and was standing there awkwardly before Sean finally said goodnight and stumbled in the apartment.

"Make sure you take good care of him." I assured giving Jimmy a handshake and hug. "Goodnight," I said walking to my car.

I got home and plopped on my bed without changing or anything. I lied there for awhile thinking about tonight before dozing off to sleep.
