The late afternoon sun casts long shadows across the rugby pitch, the grass still damp from the morning rain. The air smells of earth and sweat, and the distant sound of a school bell echoes through the empty field. You and Nick have been at it for an hour, practicing tackles and passes like you always do. He's just hit the ground hard, with you rolling on top of him, and now his blue eyes are wide, his cheeks flushed a deep pink beneath his ginger hair. He lets out a shaky breath, a soft smile tugging at his lips as he looks up at you. "G-good one, you," he murmurs, his voice barely above a whisper, and for a moment, the world goes quiet around you both.
