For the prompt Greg and Molly on tour from Mollsstrade

Never in a thousand years did Greg think he would be picking up a stick again and stepping out on to a hockey pitch. When one of his old mates had convinced him to come on their annual old boys tour he was thinking more sitting on the side with a cold beer rather than being hauled on to the pitch after a series of injuries to their team.

He'd been quite happy sitting on the bank in the sunshine, his arm wrapped round Molly's waist, as they sat and watched his mates playing until yet another of his friends went over with an injury.

"See, this is why old men should not play sport" he laughs as he watches his friend hobble off the pitch. His laughter was soon cut short when the organiser of the team came running over to him.

"Oh no no, no way, I've not played in years"

"It'll be fine Greg. Come on we need you"

"It's not like I've got any kit or anything with me"

"That's no excuse, we can kit you out easily"

"But..."

"Oh go on Greg" Molly smiled at him "it'll be fun"

"See, even Molly thinks you should and she's way more clever than you"

"I'm not going to win this am I?"

"Not a chance mate, come on"

Greg sighs and quickly kisses Molly's cheek before following his friend down to the pitch. His mates soon kit him out and he's jogging on to the pitch with Molly beaming proudly. The match went by quickly with Greg managing to put in a few good tackles before the end of the game and he made his way off joking with his team mates and going back up to Molly.

"Oh Greg, you were brilliant" Molly grinned proudly as she hugs him

"I wouldn't exactly say brilliant love, I'm pretty sure my body is going to be in pieces tomorrow"

"Well I thought you were brilliant" she smiles as she kisses his cheek "I also think you need a shower mister"

"I think you're probably right" he turns to his friends "I'll see you boys in the bar later ok"

His friends all agree as he takes Molly's hand and they make their way back to the local hotel they were staying in.

"You know" Molly starts calmly "as you did so well maybe you deserve some sort of reward"

"Oh yeah?" he raises his eyebrows intrigued

"I think so, but only once you smell less again" she teases

They eventually made their way back to the bar a couple of hours later than planned but definitely worth it
