Out Of The Park (Noah Schnapp, Gay)

The Cages

Hey people, sorry this took so long I just get bouts of motivation randomly. Hope ya enjoy! 

Ok ok, enough flirting. I really wanna get to know Noah but I promised him a fun day out and he was getting it.

"I look forward to finding out what 'another thing' is, anyway lets head on over", I was a lot more confident now, well maybe not confident but definitely less nervous.

"Very well, Mister, lead on", he had a grin that I envied and adored, his straight white shining teeth made me think about just how perfect he really is.

We walked towards the cashier at the batting cages, and it hit me. I'm here, less than a mile from my room with the guy of my FUCKING DREAMS! This can't be possible! I felt my stomach do a 180, knotting my intestines as it did so, what if this was a dream? I've had perfect moments like this taken from me by the sound of my alarm ringing before and it sucks, big time.

I used to be big into lucid dreaming so I knew a few techniques that could help me find out. But what if this is a dream? If it is I never want to wake up. 

But I need to know. Maybe, just maybe this is all real. I pinch myself, it hurts. I try reading some signs, they all make sense. I try controlling things with my mind, nothing. Holy shit I think this is real...

"We'd like to book one cage for an hour please", oh shit we reached the counter already?

"That'll be $20"

We each gave her ten bucks, he offered to pay but I'd feel really uncomfortable letting him.

"So who's first," asked Noah.

"Well you probably need the practice, get in there," I said putting the helmet on his head and handing him the bat.

The hour flew, the whole time I was anxious about the fact that this might be the only time I'll ever spend with him. He never mentioned how long he'll be here but it mustn't be for too long, he's a busy guy. After this, he'll probably go back to his hotel, we'll text for a few days and then he'll forget about me. It's funny, this is one of the best days of my life and I'll never forget it but to him, it's just a day, nothing more.

"What next Eli?" he said stepping out of the cage wiping sweat from his forehead.

Oh shit, he wants to keep this rolling, good good.

"Eli? Huh?" I said feigning deep thought.

"Well.. I-I just thought it would be.. nothing, nevermind..." he said looking down at his feet. This was the first time I'd seen him act shy.

"No no, I like it. Just no one's ever called me that before" I said trying to show the warmest smile I could muster. "Anyway, I know a great fro-yo place and a rocky part of the beach no one goes to".

He immediately came out of his shell again, "That sounds amazing!".
