Desc: Just an Imagine of you and Bader realizing that you belong together instead of other people. This takes place in Apr. 2023.

My forceful smile made me feel disgusting. I stayed in my seat speaking to my friends and other players. People who are interested in me and yet I have zero in speaking to any of them. I love everyone around me but not everyone I love is in my current circle.

I spent my summer riding around with the Yankees, following the Yankees schedule, as a helper. I thought the job was cool. Helping out the team I grew up watching as a kid.

When we made it to St. Louis I couldn't help but admire some of the players on the Cardinals team. It wasn't like a crush or anything but just admiring some hot players from afar, was all.

Now that i really think about it, I might have been really obvious when staring at some players. They might have done it to mess with me but I did get a few winks every now and then. When Bader was finally traded, the only thing I could do was just look at him.

His hair cut and clean shaven just made him all the more pretty. By September me and Harrison were talking nonstop. By October me and Harrison were sneaking around nonstop, kissing when no one was looking, steamy makeouts in dugouts before the games. 

Hiding our relationship was hard. In February we decided that being together is against the team rules. I knew deep down that I was in love with him but I had no other choice than to let him go.

We wanted to be together but in the end it wasn't gonna work out. The breakup was mutual but it wasn't what I wanted. It was what I needed to accept. I can't let it pass me but it's not up to me to do what I want it's what needs to happen.

I continued conversing with everyone I was around, yet my eye was kept on him. His arm around a waist that wasn't mine and my hand in a hand that wasn't his. It was a sore sight to see but it was something i got over after a while. 

I excused myself and walked past the bar and into the hall of the bathroom. Just before I walked in I felt a tug on my arm. I turn and meet the eyes of Harrison. Before I got the chance to speak I felt his lips pressed on mine. 

I didn't hesitate to kiss back. I felt my back at the entrance of the bathroom. My hand pressed against the bathroom door to press it open and as soon as we entered Harrison turned the lock, as it was a single bathroom. His hands lowered to my waist, giving me a signal to jump. When I did he placed me on the counter of the sink.

I pulled away and placed both hands on his chest. "We can't do this. Everyone we know is out there and so are the people we're with." 

"Yeah and I hate the way he touches you. There should be no he, it should be me." I rolled my eyes at his words. I expected his jealousy but not to the point where we'd be making out in the bathroom of a night club.

"I don't like the way you touch her but this shouldn't be happening, we both decided it was best for us. You actually have to get over yourself." I said while he kissed my neck, my head tilted back.

I couldn't help but give in. Sneaking around like this was such a guilty pleasure, such nostalgia it gave me. I don't know how I'll be able to survive this summer. Riding around with him everywhere is gonna be terrible.

Small moans coming from my mouth as he sucked on my neck ever so slightly. It made me angry at how much control he has over me.

"I love you" I breathed out while placing my hands on the back of his neck, pushing him into my neck. He stopped, I whined desperately and anxiously. I slowly acknowledged what I just said and it made me all the more nervous to even look Harrison in the eye.

"What?" Harrison tilted his head up, now looking me in the eye. "no, NO. It just slipped out, I didn't mean too. I was just cau-" I was cut off with Harrison's lips back on my neck. It caught me off guard but I enjoyed it.

"I love you too." He muffled against my skin. I shivered when he spoke. I grabbed his chin and raised his head again. I pressed our lips together. I pulled away slightly to speak, our lips still grazing each others.

"I'm in love with you, Bader. I always have been. It just took me a minute to realize it." I finally spoke, smashing our lips together again. He was all I needed. He was my breathe of fresh air.

"I'm in love with you too. We should get married or something."

I pulled away, slightly flabbergasted but I didn't hate the idea. "What, you wanna elope or something?" I smiled, my forehead against his. "I don't hear any denial. But i'd appreciate seeing you walk down the aisle in a fairytale dress or something. I don't know just some time soon."

I jumped off from the counter my hand in his, finally. I unlocked the door and we exited the night club. We didn't announce we were leaving. We just did and it felt great to walk out with Harrison. No guilt or shame following us.
