checking over his nails while obviously ignoring whatever '' 𝓻eader is saying .

[𝗗𝗜𝗔𝗠𝗢𝗡𝗗𝗕𝗔𝗖𝗞 @serpentbats]

there isn't an early , there isn't any dinner conversation either , because there ain't nothin' after . dude , are you listening .ᐣ

( brows furrow into , somehow , an even bitchier expression . chest all puffed up . )

[‍ ‍‍ ‍ ‍ ‍‍ ‍ ‍ 𝒕𝐡𝐞 𝒔𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐲.ᐟ @tradedaftercup]

⠀
no, I wasn't. didn't see 'r feel nothin', I swear. ain't this more of a dinner conversation? seems a bit early fer you ta be talkin'bout preference 'n such.

( eyes flick to narrow, arms slowly crossing. unable to help his grin. )
⠀

[𝗗𝗜𝗔𝗠𝗢𝗡𝗗𝗕𝗔𝗖𝗞 @serpentbats]

you were about to , grinning 'n shit like that . I don't 𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘦 , bubba , so find someone else .

( quick to mirror the scowl . although brows make it look more bitchy than anything else . a fat liar too . )

[‍ ‍‍ ‍ ‍ ‍‍ ‍ ‍ 𝒕𝐡𝐞 𝒔𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐲.ᐟ @tradedaftercup]

⠀
woah. didn't put my hand in yer pants. i touched yer waistband! 's barely even touchin' ya.

( eyes narrow, leclerc focuses his eyes on him. slowly sipping the drink, refusing to look away. gently scowling. )
⠀

[𝗗𝗜𝗔𝗠𝗢𝗡𝗗𝗕𝗔𝗖𝗞 @serpentbats]

fuck off , of course you'd think puttin' your hand in my pants is fun .

( bristling even while trying to play it cool ﹒﹒ and ignoring the fact that his cheeks are burning . )

[‍ ‍‍ ‍ ‍ ‍‍ ‍ ‍ 𝒕𝐡𝐞 𝒔𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐲.ᐟ @tradedaftercup]

⠀
(another snicker, hands up defensively. he takes a step back, cracking the can and shrugging his shoulders. )

never said you were. I'm messin' with you. have some fun.
⠀

[𝗗𝗜𝗔𝗠𝗢𝗡𝗗𝗕𝗔𝗖𝗞 @serpentbats]

( quick to smack away the hand and lift his own to press at a chest to keep some distance . smile visible but stern . )

woah , bubba , I ain't no lady .

[‍ ‍‍ ‍ ‍ ‍‍ ‍ ‍ 𝒕𝐡𝐞 𝒔𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐲.ᐟ @tradedaftercup]

⠀
( hand shifts, tugging ever so gently at that waistband. pulled down just enough to better visualize the condensation. lip gently bitten, snickering. )

what, 're you complainin'?
⠀

[𝗗𝗜𝗔𝗠𝗢𝗡𝗗𝗕𝗔𝗖𝗞 @serpentbats]

( brows lift , letting out an amused little scoff . there's a line of condensation left on tanned skin . )

y'just had to get handsy , huh .ᐣ

[‍ ‍‍ ‍ ‍ ‍‍ ‍ ‍ 𝒕𝐡𝐞 𝒔𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐲.ᐟ @tradedaftercup]

⠀
( a soft scoff, cley's slowly moving to his side. a pause; before hands fall. hesitating, before grabbing the other man's waist. tugged close, finally snagging the can. )
⠀

[𝗗𝗜𝗔𝗠𝗢𝗡𝗗𝗕𝗔𝗖𝗞 @serpentbats]

fuck no . you want it , you come get it .

[‍ ‍‍ ‍ ‍ ‍‍ ‍ ‍ 𝒕𝐡𝐞 𝒔𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐲.ᐟ @tradedaftercup]

⠀
tryna get a good mental picture. but c'mere, lemme grab it.
⠀

[𝗗𝗜𝗔𝗠𝗢𝗡𝗗𝗕𝗔𝗖𝗞 @serpentbats]

then why's it still in my pants bubba .ᐣ

[‍ ‍‍ ‍ ‍ ‍‍ ‍ ‍ 𝒕𝐡𝐞 𝒔𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐲.ᐟ @tradedaftercup]

⠀
oh I'll gladly grab it.
⠀

[𝗗𝗜𝗔𝗠𝗢𝗡𝗗𝗕𝗔𝗖𝗞 @serpentbats]

well if I can't touch it then you gotta get it .

[‍ ‍‍ ‍ ‍ ‍‍ ‍ ‍ 𝒕𝐡𝐞 𝒔𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐲.ᐟ @tradedaftercup]

⠀
definitely a smart move on your part.
⠀

[𝗗𝗜𝗔𝗠𝗢𝗡𝗗𝗕𝗔𝗖𝗞 @serpentbats]

fuck dude , get a sip then , I'm not gonna get between a man and his twea .

[‍ ‍‍ ‍ ‍ ‍‍ ‍ ‍ 𝒕𝐡𝐞 𝒔𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐲.ᐟ @tradedaftercup]

⠀

⠀

[𝗗𝗜𝗔𝗠𝗢𝗡𝗗𝗕𝗔𝗖𝗞 @serpentbats]

[‍ ‍‍ ‍ ‍ ‍‍ ‍ ‍ 𝒕𝐡𝐞 𝒔𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐲.ᐟ @tradedaftercup]

⠀

⠀

[𝗗𝗜𝗔𝗠𝗢𝗡𝗗𝗕𝗔𝗖𝗞 @serpentbats]

does someone need a drink .ᐣ

[𝗗𝗜𝗔𝗠𝗢𝗡𝗗𝗕𝗔𝗖𝗞 @serpentbats]

stretching out on a bench in the dugout , a peaceful nap sounds great .

[𝗗𝗜𝗔𝗠𝗢𝗡𝗗𝗕𝗔𝗖𝗞 @serpentbats]

fresh out the locker room showers . the hope is that media will avoid him if he's in the most scandalously short towel there is .

[𝗗𝗜𝗔𝗠𝗢𝗡𝗗𝗕𝗔𝗖𝗞 @serpentbats]

grin widens the second the camera is lowered . shoulders bouncing in an animated shrug . “ dunno man , you just seem the type . ” another pop of gum . posture melting back into relaxation in the little nook .

[𝗗𝗜𝗔𝗠𝗢𝗡𝗗𝗕𝗔𝗖𝗞 @serpentbats]

tossing sunflower seed shells at '' 𝓻eader .

[𝗗𝗜𝗔𝗠𝗢𝗡𝗗𝗕𝗔𝗖𝗞 @serpentbats]

nose scrunches with disdain . gum popping between molars then blown into a mild bubble . “ so , gonna sell them to tmz ...ᐣ or keep them for your own pleasures .ᐣ ” wicked grin mirrored in return .

[𝗗𝗜𝗔𝗠𝗢𝗡𝗗𝗕𝗔𝗖𝗞 @serpentbats]

roused by nothing more than intuition ──── one eye peeking open with a scowl , he just wants to nap . “ bullpen's restricted . ”

[𝗗𝗜𝗔𝗠𝗢𝗡𝗗𝗕𝗔𝗖𝗞 @serpentbats]

snoozing in the sun of the bullpen . barely got any sleep last night .
