Hanai turned to Tajima, a tick in his brow, "hey, Tajima, do you think Abe's been harder on Mihashi lately?"
Tajima stared at the senior player for a moment, cogs whirring as he thought over the team's catcher and their oblivious pitcher.
"Well, i'm pretty sure it's 'cause Abe likes Mihashi." He gave Hanai a meaningful look, "Kinda like he's a little kid pulling Mihashi's pigtails ya know? Well, imaginary pigtails."
Tajima giggled as he stared at Hanai's shocked expression.
After a moment to process the new development, and Tajima's sudden maturity, Hanai opened his mouth.
"So..." He paused, lips pursed, before he took a deep breath, "how much do you bet that Abe's gonna be the 'catcher' in that relationship too?"
Tajima laughed, "Nope, the roles are definitely reversed. Abe's too prideful to be the catcher in that situation. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure he loves being a catcher out on the field, but in bed? Nah, I say, he's definitely a pitcher. "
"What?"
Tajima's head swiveled and he immediately twisted his body to swing an arm over Abe's shoulders. "So, Abe, how's the practice with Mihashi goin'? You get some good pitching in?"
Hanai choked on air.
