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.

"Ow!" Oliver cried out in clear exaggeration, laughing, and faked a stumble. But then he put his arm back around Sam and kissed his cheek. "Love you, loser."

“Love you too, babe,” Sam replied, pulling Oliver in for a brief, unlike himself, public hug.

Sam hadn't called him babe since they'd remembered their old lives. He didn't point that out, though, just hugged him extra long before letting him free. "Go find your team."

“See you later, when you lose,” Sam replied, giving Oliver’s shoulders a quick squeeze before he jogged away to get started.
