Coach Baseball In The Streets, Coach Love In The Sheets

Summary:

Watching Junpei work in a job he loves only makes you love him more.

Notes:

(See the end of the work for notes.)

Work Text:

You look out over the field, taking in the dry air, and the smell of dirt and grass; all of it tied together by your boyfriend coaching little league practice.

Junpei really was amazing coaching his team, frankly it's shocking you didn't realize he'd be great with kids sooner. You snicker slightly thinking about it; if anyone could relate to children it's probably Junpei.

He really was somethin' though, and you truly did feel like a lucky guy just for meeting him.

Fluffy little daydreams fill your head, sweet domesticity, you puff a dreamy sigh, "Mr and Mr Iori…"

"Alright team! We did great today and now it's time for some snacks!"

Junpei's announcement snaps you out of your daydream tugging you back to the pleasant present. It might be too soon to think about marriage anyway…

Junpei waves back to team members and parents, gladly stopping to listen to his students and their parents, genuinely taking their advice and possible concerns into consideration.

You watch him excel at the job he loves before finally making it to you.

He drapes his arm over your shoulder pulling you close.

"I'm taking a break from coaching baseball," he announces melodramatically before leaning in close and giving you a kiss on the cheek, "now I'm here to coach some love," he wiggles his eyebrows in a way that could only make you snort.

"That's so stupid," you manage to giggle out

"Whaaat! I worked on that all day!"

"All day!? Don't you have a team to coach?"

"I can think of two things at once!"

"Wow that's impressive I couldn't say the same for myself!"

Yep, just two lovestruck idiots and you wouldn't have it any other way.

"So what does The Love Coach have planned today?"

"I'm actually pretty worn out…," Junpei admits in defeat.

"It's fine you know," you smile and reassure him, "all I really want to do is go where there's air conditioning but if there isn't there's nothing wrong with taking some stuff off," you mutter to him playfully.

"Hey not here!"

"Of course not here! Maybe I did say it wrong- either way! I can't wait to get home with you," your heart flutters as you move to kiss Junpei on the lips.

The two of you pull away with smiles relishing in your closeness before he finally pulled away, with your hand in his.

...maybe marriage isn't so far off for you.

 

Bonus:

Alone in the attic Akira's stressful thoughts brought him back to when he was younger.

"I really have seen a guy with another guy…"

He mutters through his thoughts slowly cutting out a sense of clarity for himself.

"I'm...not weird for it, I'm normal…"

A weight melted away from his shoulders bringing on tears, a newfound sense of self love and, well, teen love.

He nervously opens his texts fidgeting over the keyboard before working up the nerve to send.

"I want to steal your heart"
