Touch Football mega thread

[nola_eleanor]

There was a field not too far from Phoenix Effect that was too small for all the various sports leagues in the city to have snapped up for weekend practices or games, but big enough for the fairly flexible game of touch football, so that's where they played. People came and went for most of the afternoon, though the game itself only lasted an hour and change. Almost everyone played, but there were several people watching, choosing to cheer or heckle or talk amongst themselves as it suited them.

When everyone got together enough to actually start the game, they divided into two teams, with Matteo as the referee. Zach's team was made up of Hazel, Max, Hanne, Nori, Nick, Alex, and Oliver; Kyle had Elspeth, Joel, Carrie, Caleb, Irene, Sam, and Elena on his team. It wasn't a blowout, but Zach's team won by a few touchdowns and were crowned the victors. Despite a couple minor accidents, everyone came out of it in one piece. More or less.

"I did not expect to meet my husband today," Hanne mused aloud. It wasn't clear if she meant past or future, but did it really matter? "Though really, you should stop injuring me every time we meet. I'm going to start taking it personally."

“I think this time I was a lot more helpful,” Max pointed out.

"You were, but I also wouldn't mind making a dramatic exit on a unicorn again at some point in this life."

“Are you saying that’s better than my lap?” Max smiled at her.

[nola_yvaine]

"I said at some point, not right now." She was very happy being in his lap right now. "Unless you want me to move..."

[nola_tristan]

“I don’t want you to ever move,” Max said quickly.

Hanne smiled and kissed him softly. "Me either."

“A dancer.” He considered this information again, in this new light.

"What do you think? I mean, at least you know your--" Wife? Girlfriend? They should probably figure that out. "--me has rhythm."

“I love it.” How could he not love it! Max kissed Hanne’s hair again. A few times.

Hanne beamed. "And you take care of the tiny humans, which is perfect." Because of course he took care of people with that huge, adventurous heart of his. "Also very handy for when we have kids."

“I assume that’s why I have the job, yes,” Max agreed, because why else?

[nola_yvaine]

"I'm so happy right now. If I was still a star you would have to wear sunglasses."

“I still feel the glow,” Max replied, and kissed her properly.
