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.

Katie laughed. “Sorry, but no way. It’s nothing personal, Kyle, but I don’t cheer for men. Go team Hazel!” She blew her best friend a kiss.

Hazel laughed and blew her a kiss right back. "Love you!"

“Love you, go away!”

Kyle laughed, shifting to wrap an arm around Hazel. “Okay, let’s see if I survive the game.”

"You have to survive, because there are eggrolls after, and after eggrolls there is me getting naked so we can find all the best spots to put a new tattoo." And if that wasn't motivation, Hazel didn't know what was.

"So it's the most perfect night in the world," Kyle replied, dazzled. "I have to live."

[nola_lucy]

Hazel beamed. "Yes. Yes, you do."

[nola_jeangrey]

"Anything for you, and eggrolls, but mostly you."

"Same," she told him, leaning up for another kiss. "Same."
