The game was over.
Before the catcher left the field, I grabbed his arm sleeve. "Wait." He turned towards me with a look of surprise and slight recognition. Suddenly, my cheeks and ears burned with embarrassment. I looked down at the ground before gathering my courage.
"I really like your play! It was so exciting and I..." I grasped at my shirt over my heart. "It's been so long... So long since I felt like this... How many years has it been since someone's play moved me...?"
I locked eyes with him with a wide genuine smile. "I'm looking forward to your growth, so keep playing, Catcher-san. Of course, not for me, but for yourself. Because that would be the best way for me to continue watching you play in your best form." Surprise flickered in his eyes.
"You're strange." A soft smile momentarily appeared on his face before being replaced by a smirk.
"I know." I grinned.
He let out a snicker as I finally let go of his arm sleeve and put my arms behind my back.
