*ACHHOO!!!*
Jude sneezed loud enough for the whole neighborhood could hear.
"N...n....n..no." Connor started before hearing.
*ACHOO!!!* *ACHOO!!!*
"Noo!!" Connor whined. "You can't be sick."
"I'm not." Jude sneezed. Connor raised his eyebrow. "Ok maybe I am, but what's the big deal?"
"I want you to come watch my game, but you can't if you're" Jude interupted Connor by sneezing. "sick. I don't wanna go if you're not there."
"I'm not letting you miss this game."
"Jude, I'm not taking you out in the rain."
"I don't care. Connor, this is a really important game for you. It's just a few sneezes, I'll be fine."
"You sure?"
"Yes. Now let's go before you miss that game." Jude pushed Connor out the door to the car.
~~~
Jude had his legs tucked up into his chest along with his left swung across them. He leaned his head against the window as he sat in the passenger seat of Connor's car. His face turning a shade of green.
Connor slowed the car down as he came to a red light. He glanced his eyes slightly to his right to see his nauseous looking boyfriend.
"Feeling ok?" He asked.
"Huh?" Jude lifted his head.
"Are you feeling ok." Connor asked a little slowly, pausing slightly after each word.
"Oh...yea, never better."
*ACHHOO!!!* Jude used his sleeve to wipe his nose. Connor started to drive again.
"You know we can always just go back to my place."
"And miss the biggest day of your life, no way."
"I rather miss the game then have a sick boyfriend."
"College scouts are coming. I don't want to be the reason you missed out on this once in a life time chance. Plus we're almost halfway there."
"But-"
"We're going to that game, end of discussion."
"Damn, even when you're sick your bossy."
*ACHHOO!!* *ACHHOO!!!*

"I can't do this." Connor's hands shook nervously by his sides.
"Can't do what?"
"Play. I mean what if I strike out, or get benched, or I forget how to pitch."
"Hey look at me. None of that has happened before and none of it is gonna happen now."
"We don't know that."
"True, but we do know that you're an amazing baseball player."
"Well maybe I'm not as amazing as we thought." Connor walked over and sat on the bench.
"I didn't even wanna come today."
"Then why did you?"
"Because there's this voice in my head that keeps telling me to go out there and have fun but I can't because I keep thinking about all the things that could happen."
"Sounds like me and the voice have a lot in common."
"You should, the voice is you."
"I figured."
"Can we just leave, I mean you shouldn't even be here cause you're sick."
*ACHHOO!!*
"Imma be fine as long as you go out there and make me proud."
