Author's Note: And I'm back with more Dan/Shun. Told y'all that Incinerate wasn't the end for me. I've actually got two more things planned after this too! Anyway, All In is another five times plus one fic made up of six chapters. Each one will go up on Friday. The lyrics below are from the song "All In" by Lifehouse, which is actually my theme song for these two, I suggest you listen to it!
If you like this chapter, please leave a review!
"There's no taking back what we've got's too strong.
We've had each other's back for too long, there's no breaking up this time."
One: Little League World Series
The cheers went up around the stadium as the final member of the Otters crossed home plate. The score was 9-8, in the Otters' favour, and the game was over. And that was that, the Otters of Wardington had taken the Little League World Championships.
The Otters collapsed into each other on the field, screaming, cheering, and throwing their arms around each other. In the centre was Dan, their pitcher, and Shun, the last boy across home plate. Between the two of them, the team had won it all.
"Dude! You were amazing," said Dan, grinning widely at Shun. Shun managed his own version of a grin – a bright, closed mouth smile that dissolved into a breathy laugh and Dan's toothy grin.
As the teams separated out and walked away from each other, Dan threw an arm around Shun's shoulders and whooped again, pumping a fist into the air.
They headed for their moms, who were beaming and cheering just as much as they were, and then it was time to change and head for the ice cream parlour with the team and all their parents. The whole place was going to be packed.
On the car ride over, Dan and his mom were singing various baseball songs, while Shun just laughed quietly at Dan's overenthusiastic seat dancing. Shun's mom kept trying to sing other songs to knock Dan and his mom off their rhythm, which resulted in a loud an exuberant car filled with excited people that couldn't stop singing or laughing.
Then, they arrived at the ice cream parlour with the rest of the team, and Dan and Shun were dashing inside to get the best seat, shouting their orders to their moms as they went.
The rest of the team was already there, some with ice cream, some still waiting.
"There's our MVPs!" shouted Erik, their shortstop.
"Three cheers for Shun and Dan," said Xander, their third baseman. "Without them, we never would'a made it that far!"
The entire team broken into cheers with that, beating on the tables and whooping into the air. They got a few looks from other patrons. Shun ducked his head to hide his blush from all the attention. Dan slung an arm around him and shoved Shun into the seat with him, the two squished close together.
"Shun and me are an awesome team, aren't we?" asked Dan, grinning.
"Shun and I," corrected Shun, absently tracing the patterns in the table.
Dan just laughed and tugged Shun even closer, if that was possible. "We're like, the perfect team. We should be a team forever and ever."
Shun smiled at that, but he kept his head down to hide it.
"I know!" said Dan, grinning broadly. "We should get married!"
Shun raised an eyebrow at him. "We're a bit too young, to get married, don't you think?" he asked.
Dan pouted. He yanked the Green Lantern ring from his cereal box off his left hand and grabbed Shun's left hand. He slipped the ring on Shun's ring finger and grinned.
A course of "oooohs" rose up from the table, along with some juvenile attempts at cat calls. Shun rolled his eyes and shoved his shoulder against Dan's.
"Gonna have to do better than that if you wanna marry me," said Shun. He chanced stealing a piece of brownie from Xander's sundae. The other boy guffawed.
Dan smirked. "Challenge accepted, dude. I'll find you the perfect ring, yet."
