in the courtyard surrounded by a bunch of ghost-hunting gadgets.

he's locked in ™ ( with fixing them ).

[⋆˚࿔ 𝚍𝚎𝚟𝚘𝚗 𝚋𝚊𝚝𝚎𝚖𝚊𝚗. @dramaticspooks]

- devon is definitely in yap mode right now. feel free not to answer any of that. )

[⋆˚࿔ 𝚍𝚎𝚟𝚘𝚗 𝚋𝚊𝚝𝚎𝚖𝚊𝚗. @dramaticspooks]

have you always played baseball? what made you get into it? what's the coolest thing that happened during a game? is the food at baseball games really that good? have you ever hit a home run? do you think they'd let me decorate my uniform here? what teams do you -

( beaming, -

[Kevin Connolly (Parody) @HisUncleKevin]

( Kevin doesn't let go, absorbing all the sunshine like a starving indoor plant.)

That should be fine, practice can help fix everything else. Being fast is important!

[⋆˚࿔ 𝚍𝚎𝚟𝚘𝚗 𝚋𝚊𝚝𝚎𝚖𝚊𝚗. @dramaticspooks]

( squirming happily as they hug, devon is radiating nothing but an upbeat, sunshine aura. )

yeah, that sounds cool! i can't promise i'll be good but i'm speedy! so i can run fast!

[Kevin Connolly (Parody) @HisUncleKevin]

Ehehehehe!

(Kevin seems overjoyed with the hug, practically catching Devon in his arms.)

Yeah! I can't promise anything, but it would be so cool to have you on the team.

[⋆˚࿔ 𝚍𝚎𝚟𝚘𝚗 𝚋𝚊𝚝𝚎𝚖𝚊𝚗. @dramaticspooks]

bastien offering to help him practice cheerleading. and now kevin doing the same with baseball.

his heart.

[⋆˚࿔ 𝚍𝚎𝚟𝚘𝚗 𝚋𝚊𝚝𝚎𝚖𝚊𝚗. @dramaticspooks]

( seeing kevin brightens devon's mood immediately. he 𝘙𝘜𝘕𝘚 up to him, crashing into the other with a big ol' hug. what are boundaries, devon. )

really? 😊😭

[Kevin Connolly (Parody) @HisUncleKevin]

...!

They can practice together! He can even put a good word in with Jason.

[⋆˚࿔ 𝚍𝚎𝚟𝚘𝚗 𝚋𝚊𝚝𝚎𝚖𝚊𝚗. @dramaticspooks]

he's out there in the empty field. trying his best.

not a part of the team yet.

[⋆˚࿔ 𝚍𝚎𝚟𝚘𝚗 𝚋𝚊𝚝𝚎𝚖𝚊𝚗. @dramaticspooks]

- face. ) eggworth misses you! HE'S BIG.

[⋆˚࿔ 𝚍𝚎𝚟𝚘𝚗 𝚋𝚊𝚝𝚎𝚖𝚊𝚗. @dramaticspooks]

no way! that's not true. ( stomps his foot as if for emphasis. ) ask sunny! he can vouch for me.

( but immediately, devon's defensive attitude disappears as lisa smiles. he mirrors it - so, so wide. )

look, look! ( taking him out, practically shoving the tamagotchi in her -

[⑆ Lisa Bred. @tctallyrad]

[Skeptical stare.]
/ You / can keep a secret? You would yap about it to anyone who asks.

[A smile, her attention brought to the Tamagotchi.]

Aw, you didn't let him starve? I'm impressed! Let me see my boy!

[⋆˚࿔ 𝚍𝚎𝚟𝚘𝚗 𝚋𝚊𝚝𝚎𝚖𝚊𝚗. @dramaticspooks]

// disregard the text but yeah basically devon

[Kevin Connolly (Parody) @HisUncleKevin]

Aww. This kid is adorable, Kevin isn't upset by him at all.

"You can do it, sport!"

[⋆˚࿔ 𝚍𝚎𝚟𝚘𝚗 𝚋𝚊𝚝𝚎𝚖𝚊𝚗. @dramaticspooks]

happily throwing balls at the target. . . and unfortunately missing all of them so far.

at least he's got eight balls. surely one of them will hit, right?

@HisUncleKevin

[𝑳𝒆𝒗𝒊 𝑹𝒊𝒅𝒍𝒆𝒚 @ruffledfeathcrs]

( depends if you get the right people there too.

get someone like kevin or devon you'd be losing money, but get someone like jolene, bastien, roman or yourself then you'd raise quite a bit. )

[⋆˚࿔ 𝚍𝚎𝚟𝚘𝚗 𝚋𝚊𝚝𝚎𝚖𝚊𝚗. @dramaticspooks]

[⋆˚࿔ 𝚍𝚎𝚟𝚘𝚗 𝚋𝚊𝚝𝚎𝚖𝚊𝚗. @dramaticspooks]

devon's natural curiosity flares as he makes his way down to the baseball field, eyeing it. it looks. . . empty. and big. whoooa.

already a better start than cheerleading with no practice in session.

yeah, yeah, yeah! he frolicks over to the equipment.

[⋆˚࿔ 𝚍𝚎𝚟𝚘𝚗 𝚋𝚊𝚝𝚎𝚖𝚊𝚗. @dramaticspooks]

// bastien the qt ~

[𝑩𝒂𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒆𝒏 𝑫𝒖𝒎𝒐𝒏𝒕-𝑬𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒕 @madetcperform]

( oh god that was going to be a lot of tickets, but devon's joy was infectious and he couldn't stop smiling. )

hey hey no problem, man. just tell me the time and place and we'll practice.

[⋆˚࿔ 𝚍𝚎𝚟𝚘𝚗 𝚋𝚊𝚝𝚎𝚖𝚊𝚗. @dramaticspooks]

cool! okay. so that means one for milo too. and astrid. lisa's also - !

( hearing bastien's offer distracts him from his rambling. and with that, devon immediately hops up and down, arms raised. )

oh, really?! you'd do that for me? bas, you're so - !

[𝑩𝒂𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒆𝒏 𝑫𝒖𝒎𝒐𝒏𝒕-𝑬𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒕 @madetcperform]

as many people as you want.

( he frowns briefly as he recounts what happen, he knew devon's enthusiasm was a bit much, but there was no reason to push him aside. )

how about this? we practice routines together, and at some point, you audition and prove how much you want it.

[⋆˚࿔ 𝚍𝚎𝚟𝚘𝚗 𝚋𝚊𝚝𝚎𝚖𝚊𝚗. @dramaticspooks]

not exactly the most encouraging - hearing what savina, lauren, and sofia had said about him.

but bastien had stood up for him. and that had helped soften the blow. running a hand through his unkempt hair, devon rubs at his eyes again.

maybe. . .

[⋆˚࿔ 𝚍𝚎𝚟𝚘𝚗 𝚋𝚊𝚝𝚎𝚖𝚊𝚗. @dramaticspooks]

- jut out into a slight pout. )

[⋆˚࿔ 𝚍𝚎𝚟𝚘𝚗 𝚋𝚊𝚝𝚎𝚖𝚊𝚗. @dramaticspooks]

oh, really? that'd be so cool. can sunny also come ~?

( the close contact makes him giddy. he beams. )

um. well, the first time. . . i was just watching, but i think they thought i was being creepy? but like - i just wanted to watch them practice. 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺.

( his lips -

[𝑩𝒂𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒆𝒏 𝑫𝒖𝒎𝒐𝒏𝒕-𝑬𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒕 @madetcperform]

drive to survive 8, should be out next year so i'll save you some tickets.

( he puts the smile on, arm around his shoulders )

ah that sounds great, man. sorry to hear about the cheerleading, what happened with it?

[` 𝐬𝐨𝐟𝐢𝐚 .ᐟ @ofgrowingpains]

not if it's embarrassing. people want cheer, not awkward and cringe.
