The Baseball Girl

The Catcher's Feelings

Miyuki POV

I laid on my bunk, throwing a random ball in the air as I thought about today. Adi was a girl. A girl. Which is kinda a slight relief seeing how I was somehow starting to get romantic feelings for her.

But I probably should've seen it. Her behavior and habits. Always hanging around Ichigo, though I was quite relieved that Adi had no feelings for the nerdy girl. I was actually surprised Kuramochi didn't pick up on it sooner.

But as I thought about it more and more it was quite obvious. Her actions and the way she walks and talks and runs and does anything really was pretty feminine, for a guy at least.

I was happy that I found a girl that I got along with so well and that loves baseball just as much as I do. I loved that about her.

I quickly sat up at the realization, a conflicted look passed over my face as I stared at the ball in my hand. Did I really have romantic feelings for her? Maybe, actually to the point where I can say I loved her?

I sighed still conflicted as I laid back down and started to toss the ball again. Obviously, Yuki and Ryo knew since they were her roommates. And Jun knew probably because he did something to violate her personal space.

Honestly though, she wasn't really obvious through her body type. Unless she wraps her chest she isn't very well off in the breast apartment, not that I really care about something like that. Her hair was short in a boy cut that matched Sawamura's but her eyes were that bright electric blue that made her beautiful.

Thinking about her physique got me thinking about our earlier interaction. It pained me to see her so broken and upset. My heart clenched as I thought about her obvious pain. 

   I glanced at my phone for the millionth time that night.  Ryosuke promised that he would text us when Adi came back.  We planned on just going over there and hanging out, to show her that we didn't care about her gender.

   I frowned, it was already 10 and no news about her.  Suddenly, my phone violently buzzed.  I pounced on my phone and opened it to see a text from Ryo.

 
From: Devil-san
   Adi is back. 
   That was all it said.  That was all I needed.  I jumped up and sprinted out of the room to Adi's.  Once I got there I stopped to catch my breath.

   I opened the door and nonchalantly walked in to see that I was the last one there even though I managed to get there in a matter of seconds.

   Everyone was lounging around, sprawled across the floor and on the beds. Most the third years and Kawakami were on the beds talking about god-knows-what Haruichi and Furuya were on the floor watching Sawamura, Kuramochi, Jun, and Adi playing video games.  All four of them were yelling and screaming profanities at each other, as if nothing happened.

   All conversation stopped as everyone became aware of my presence.  I walked in and sat down between Adi and Kuramochi.

   She sent me a fleeting glance before getting back into the racing game they were playing.   She jerked her controller violently, making her cart ram into Kuramochi's and knocking it off the road.

   Kuramochi whipped around and stared at Adi in disbelief, who just grinned and continued to play.  She continued her violent tactics by knocking both Sawamura and Jun off the road.

   "Why you-!" Jun yelled and pounced on Adi.  She let out a slight shreik as Kuramochi and Sawamura joined, all four abandoning their game.  I watched in amusement as Adi squirmed and struggled to free herself.

   She managed to pop out of the mess of tangled bodies long enough to send me a pleading look.  "Kazuya help!". She pleaded.

   I grinned as I watched Adi suffer for a few more moments before finally stepping in and disentangled Adi from them. 

   I completely wrapped my arms around her and pulled her to me before sitting on the ground, cross legged with Adi on my lap.

   I squeezed her tighter and nuzzled my face into the crook of her neck while sending I'm-better-than-you looks to the other three boys.  All three glared at me and grumbled incoherently.

   Adi leaned forward, trying to get her controller.  My eyes widened slightly as she continued to squirm, affecting me in all the wrong ways.

   I suppressed a groan as she sat back, happily playing away on the gaming system, completely unaware of the issues she was causing me.  Kuramochi shot me a mischievous grin as he sat back down, being the only one to pick up on my inner turmoil.

   I glared at him and buried my face in the hood of Adi's jacket to hide my flaming red face.  After I finally got it under control, I tilted my head and rested my cheek against Adi's back.

   Chris caught my eye and gave me a warning look, his eyes flicking to the other third years.  My eyes followed his to see Yuki and Ryo watching us like hawks. Tanba and Masuko kept glancing over at us through their conversation and it looked like we were the object of Kawakami's, Furuya's, and Haurichi's conversation.

   Suddenly, Adi jumped up, yelling in victory as she won 1st place in Mario Kart.  "I am the ultimate winner! Bow before me you peasants!" She grinned as she began a victory dance.  I laughed, leaning back on my hands as I watched her.

   She had a big goofy grin that lit up her face and her eyes shined with happiness.  Her hair swooshed around as she danced around the room, eliciting laughter and smiles from the rest of us.  Her hoodie hood bounced up and down as she jumped around.

   So in conclusion, she was adorable and all I wanted to do was hug her and cuddle.  I shook my head at the thought.  Man, what is this girl doing to me?

————————————————————

   It was 2 in the morning when everyone was finally all asleep.  Yuki, Jun, and Chris were all sitting on Yuki's bed with their backs against the wall and Yuki and Jun had their heads on Chris's shoulders.

   Ryo and Kuramochi were spooning with Haruichi wrapped in Ryo's arms.  Furuya, Sawamura, and Kawakami were curled into each other on the extra bunk.  And Masuko was sprawled on the floor snoring away.

   Adi and I were laying on her bed, she was curled into my chest.  Her breathing was light and even and her hoodie swallowed her whole form, making her look smaller than she is.  She looked peaceful and adorable.

   I wrapped my arms around her and took in her comforting warmth as she snuggled closer to me.  I took a deep breath, taking in her chocolate and strawberry scent.  It was addicting and I loved it.

   I gave a small sigh.  Another thing to add to the list of "Things I love about Adi".  I absentmindedly ran my fingers through her hair, trying to imagine what she would look like with long hair.

   After a few failed attempts, I gave up, deciding that she would be just as beautiful and just as Adi as always.  I smiled as I quickly came to a realization.

   "I love you Adamine Ravenscar.  And I probably always will." I whispered out loud.  She snuggled into me again as I spoke.  I snorted a little as I began to fall asleep.

   Man, I'm getting soft.  So much for Mr. Twisted-Personality.
