"Tell me I'm dreaming. Pinch me. Smack me in the freaking face." My jaws dropped.
Kenji fake Gawks and puts a hand over his mouth. " watch your dirty mouth princess. You'll frighten the children."
"No I mean seriously. Kenji am I really seeing this? I mean are you seeing this?" He just nods and nods and nods his head.
"It is rrreeeeaaallllyyy weird huh?"
"I mean..." I throw my arms out. "They're playing baseball!"
We are standing on a metal walkway in the training room. It acts sort Of like rafters. A second floor to the room. Maybe it was put up for electrical purposes. We stand leaning against the railing watching everyone beneath us. Warner stands in the center of the room, holding a baseball, aiming for Adam. Before, I would have rushed to take the ball from Warner before he tried to bash Adams head in with it. Now I watch, happiness bursting out of me like a fountain. Adam has his arms around James's, guiding him to hit the ball Warners throwing to them. Ian and Brendan stand in line behind them, leaning forward ready to run. Castle stands in the corner laughing as he keeps mentally guiding the ball away from Warners target. Winston stands off to the side, probably calculating the exact angle at which James needs to hit it. Alia and Lily are sitting next to him, laughing, cheering on James. Sara and Sonya walk around the room in their worn Little world.
"Come on little brother!" Warner smiles big and throws the ball. It hits the bat perfectly and flys across the room as Ian and Brendan run around.
"Did he just say that?" Kenji asks and nods at Warner.
Tears are in my eyes. I nod.
"Who would've thunk huh?" We stare at Adam, James, and Warner play wrestling over the ball.
I sigh. " I know... I mean... Kenji... They wanted to kill each other. I mean literally. Warner literally wanted to rip Adams throat out. And now they're playing baseball. Who knew how much things could change?"
"Ya from dating Adam, ripping his heart out to then dating his psycho crazy half brother." He laughs when I punch him in the arm. "And now He's your brother in law." He sighs as if he finally heard the happy ending to the never ending story.
"And it's so..." I pause when I realize something. "Kenji... " I stand up straighter. "What do you mean brother in law?"
He freezes and clears his throat. "Oh I just mean..." He struggles "he's your boyfriends brother. That's all." His face is pale.
"Kenji..." I grip his arm like a vise. "Are you keeping something from me?" He turns to me but won't make eye contact.
"Ummmm..."
My heart races when the realization hits me. Warners going to propose. "No way. No freaking way. No way!" I screech and giggle like a girl.
"Shh!"Kenji covers my mouth. "He will hang me if he knows I let it slip!"
I'm nodding nodding nodding and all of the sudden I can't keep my eyes off Warner. I just stare and stare at him until he looks up. I can't pull my eyes away I'm bubbling. He grins at me like I'm the sun coming out from the clouds. Suddenly his face changes like he's realized something and frowns. He stomps his foot and glares up at us. "Kishimoto!" He yells. " you blabber mouth!"
Kenji rubs the back of his neck. " I have no idea what you're talking about."
" I can practically feel her heart beating from here you morone!"
He tries to walk away and Warner throws his arm out, borrowing from Castle to freeze Kenji. " I will ring your neck."
Kenji goes invisible. I'm biting back a laugh.
" well if you don't mind..." Adam speaks up, I'm guessing coming to,Warners rescue in some way. " we're in the middle of a game..."
Warner clears his throat and turns to me. " yes yes, we'll talk about this later then, love?" I cover my smile and nod wildly.
Later was too far away.
