#Cavan's Tag Game

[jtl-fics]

Thank you for tagging meeeee!!!!!!!!!

ANSWERS BELOW THE CUT

1. What is your favourite character in the Foxes?

It's Neil

2. And favorite in the series aside from this one?

I know this may shock people but it is Andrew.

3. Drop your beloved head-canons about both!

I think Andrew and Neil could 100% become 'that couple' like could become like Dan and Matt but like in a feral way. Like Neil has permission to just go after people who bother Andrew and Andrew got Neil relatively unobtrusive anklet that TRACKS his location because it makes both of them feel better.

4. Fic(s) you are always happy to recommend or fic tropes you will always read.

The Destination Was Always Forever - By TheseSmallDelights I credit this fic and it's author with me getting into the FANDOM. Like I was reading / enjoying AFTG but I wasn't engaging in the Fandom at all until I started talking to them. As for tropes IT IS TIME SHENANIGANS.

5. Which of the books is your Favourite

The King's Men. I just....I love the TENSION. Like Neil always knew he had a timer on his life but now there's........ A TIMER. There's something about him learning to like be a real living human person with human connections and feelings but only when he thinks he has limited time.

6. Opinions on AFTG Audiobook release?

Never listened so I have no opinion.

7. If you write/draw/create AFTG stuff, what is your favourite work of yours?

Ok look I love Fluent Freshman and I really love how much fun has with Smith and the friend's I have gained from writing that but the fic I am currently most proud of is: It's Just You and Me, Just Us, and Y(our) Friend Kevin It has one of my favorite jokes I have literally ever written in it and I made myself cry writing it. Yes this is shameless self-promo but like it's the thing I'm most proud of.

8. Favourite event/plot point in the books.

Andrew and Neil After Baltimore. CALL ME A SIMPLE IDIOT BUT LIKE THERE IS NOTHING BETTER THAN ANDREW BEING SO OBVIOUSLY RUINED BY NEIL. HE'S NOT SUPPOSED TO CARE. IT WAS ONLY SUPPOSED TO BE A PROBLEM IF THE DEAL WAS IN EFFECT. YET THERE ARE MARKS ON KEVIN'S NECK, HE'S DRAGGING WYMACK LIKE A SACK, AND HE'S READY TO KILL ANYONE WHO GETS TOO CLOSE TO NEIL. I just. I love it. I love it SO much.

9. Least favourite part of canon (can include Extra content)

Kevin gets married to Thea. (Squicks me)

10. If you could have sent Nora an ask and get an answer, what would you ask about?

When the fuck is Jean Moreau's birthday also what birthday is on Neil's driver's license. ANSWER ME.

11. If you could make an idea of your choice canon to AFTG, what would it be?

Andrew, once he gets used to Neil being in his bed / sleeping in the same bed as Neil is 100% a clinger in his sleep. Like Andrew is like a Neil seeking missile when he is asleep. If he falls asleep somewhere and Neil is nearby the man will roll like a chef boyardee can to his man.

12. Feel free to share some random hot takes if you like.

I'm good currently <3

Hello!! ٩( ᐛ )و

Welcome to my blog! You‘re looking at my introduction post :)

Dividers Credits: @cafekitsune

This is my primary blog, so all my interactions are from here!! I use this blog to talk about sports :] Under the cut are the current teams I follow, along with my favourite players, and a lil explanation for my tagging system!

Favourite Teams + Players !!

NHL

Edmonton Oilers: My number one team across all sports! I watch every game, but don‘t know how often I‘ll liveblog as I watch with family :) Leon Draisaitl is my favourite player!! :D

Toronto Maple Leafs: My second favourite hockey team, and usually the one I watch to de-stress from the Oilers! (It doesn‘t really work), I don‘t really have a favourite player currently, but I do adore Timothy Liljegren!

Pittsburgh Penguins: I watch a couple games here and there, and enjoy many of the players, however I mainly just watch for Michael Bunting, whom I‘ve kinda been following around since he left Toronto (where he was my fav!!) I love him sooo much :)

MLB

Toronto Blue Jays: I‘m still kinda new to baseball, and the Jays are the only team I follow!! (though I often check on the dodgers… for cavan biggio), Davis Schneider is my favourite player, but I adore all of them (especially the roomies :])

F1

The most recent sport I‘ve gotten into! I honestly love the whole grid, but the driver I root for the most is Max Verstappen, and the team I currently root for is Alpine, as I adore both Pierre Gasly and Esteban Ocon! Out of the three, I probably talk about Pierre the most!!

Tagging System

If I‘m being honest, this section is mainly for me, so that I stay organized (ｰ ｰ;)

As I plan for this to be a mainly sports blog, everything that isn‘t me just talking into the void, but does not have anything to do with sports, is tagged with #not sports !!

My system changes depending on whether it is an original post or a reblog!

Original Posts

When I’m not live-blogging a game, I tag the team (or just F1 for F1) I’m talking about, followed by an lb tag (if applicable!). If the post talks about players, I tag the full name of the player(s), followed by my personal tag for them! When I am live-blogging a game, I‘ll often use the lb tag only!

Reblogs

I don‘t use lb tags for reblogs (unless I’m reblogging something about the lb, and not actually lb-ing), nor do I use players‘ full names (except if I have no personal tag for them)! I just write their team, followed by personal tags, and then usually just me rambling!

Personal Tags: I make personal tags when I feel like I‘ve talked about certain players a lot, or if I know I‘ll be posting about them often! Sometimes I‘ll start out with their full names, and go back to edit tags once I‘ve decided I need a specific tag for them! These tags are sometimes nicknames, or just the player‘s first name (current F1 drivers are all tagged with their first name!).

Sometimes I also use tags to categorize specific things (like my #roomies <3 tag for the jays roommates!!)

Uhhhh.. this is quite long… did I ramble too much? Hopefully this isn‘t hard to read!! And I hope no one get‘s scared away.. (•_•;)

A Salvaged Win, But A Series Loss

NYY vs. TOR

Game 1

RHP Clarke Schmidt got the nod for the New York Yankees against LHP Yusei Kikuchi and the Toronto Blue Jays.

In the top of the first inning, RF George Springer hit a leadoff solo HR off Schmidt, giving the Blue Jays a 1-0 lead.

In the bottom of the first inning, 2B Gleyber Torres hit an RBI double off Kikuchi, scoring RF Aaron Judge. The score was tied at 1-1.

In the top of the fourth inning, 1B Cavan Biggio hit an RBI single off Schmidt, scoring SS Bo Bichette. The Blue Jays took the lead by 2-1.

In the top of the fifth inning, Bichette hit a two-run HR off Schmidt, scoring Springer and Bichette himself. The Blue Jays extended their lead to 4-1.

In the top of the ninth inning, C Alejandro Kirk hit a two-run HR off reliever Zach McAllister, scoring 3B Matt Chapman and Kirk himself. The Blue Jays’ insurance runs extended their lead to 6-1.

In the same inning, DH Vladimir Guerrero, Jr. reached first base on a fielding error by SS Anthony Volpe, which caused CF Kevin Kiermaier to score. The Jays now led by 7-1.

The final score would be 7-1 in favor of the Jays and Torres’ double proved to be the only run in this game.

Game 2

RHP Michael King – the stretched-out starter – pitched for the Yankees against RHP Kevin Gausman and the Jays.

The scoring began in the top of the third inning with Bichette hitting an RBI single off King. Kiermaier scored and the Jays struck first with a 1-0 score.

The scoring ceased until the top of the eighth inning with DH Spencer Horwitz getting a bases-loaded walk from reliever Tommy Kahnle. Springer scored and it was 2-0 Jays.

After that, 2B Whit Merrifield walked while the bases were still loaded with reliever Ian Hamilton now pitching. Biggio scored and it was 3-0 Jays.

In the top of the ninth inning, Bichette hit an RBI single off Hamilton, scoring Kiermaier. The Jays extended their lead to 4-0.

Later in that inning, Horwitz hit an RBI single off Hamilton, scoring Springer and Bichette. The Jays padded their lead even more with a score of 6-0.

In the bottom of the ninth inning, C Austin Wells hit a solo HR off reliever Erik Swanson. This was Wells’ first MLB homerun and the Yankees trailed by 6-1.

6-1 Jays would be the final score for that game. Even though King was unfairly tagged with the loss, he was dominant, striking out the Jays hitters 13 times and only giving up one earned run in seven innings.

Game 3

RHP Gerrit Cole pitched for the Yankees versus RHP José Berríos and the Jays. 

In the bottom of the first inning, RF Jake Bauers hit a three-run HR off Berríos, scoring 1B DJ LeMahieu and Torres along with Bauers himself. The Yankees took a 3-0 lead.

In the bottom of the sixth inning, CF Estevan Florial hit an RBI 2B off reliever Tim Mayza, scoring 3B Isiah Kiner-Falefa. The Yankees extended their lead to 4-0.

In the bottom of the seventh inning, Judge as the DH hit an RBI 2B off reliever Nate Pearson, scoring LeMahieu. The Yankees now led by 5-0.

In the top of the eighth inning, Cole threw a wild pitch, scoring Chapman from third base. The Jays were now on the scoreboard and trailed by 5-1.

In the top of the ninth inning with reliever Clay Holmes to close the game, Guerrero, Jr. grounded into a force-out causing Kiermaier to score. The Jays trailed by 5-2.

In the same inning, Chapman reached first base with a throwing error by Torres. Bichette scored and the Jays now trailed by 5-3.

However, the Jays’ rally would end right there and the Yankees won this game by the score of 5-3.

Friends Don't - Bo x Jess Part 1

Hello, hello

Title: Hello Hello by Elton John Word count: 1.2k Warnings/notes: No warnings except there may be errors or whatever. But here's the first part of my Bo x OC fic! The summary of the whole thing can be found here, and background information about the fic and my OC can be found here. Oh, and the title of this story is Friends Don't because this entire story is pretty much based on one song called Friends Don't by Maddie and Tae.

Tag list: (I'm just going to tag the peeps who said they wanted to be tagged in my other fics and peeps who said they wanted to read this, but if you'd rather not be tagged in these, let me know!!) @donttelltheelff, @bodacious-bichette, @lam-ila, @erikkallgren, @lclb13, @brook-luvs-bluejays

Jessoca Stone wrapped her bathrobe around herself and let her wet hair out of its towel, the brown locks falling over her shoulders. She put her glasses on and went out to the hall, making her way to the den. She sang softly to herself as she passed by the living room.

A figure on the sofa caught her attention out of the corner of her eye.

Pausing, Jess looked over, expecting to see Cavan. “Didn’t think you—” She trailed off when she realized the figure was, in fact, not Cavan.

A man around Cavan’s age with dark hair down to his shoulders sat, having looked up from his phone to look at her.

She instantly recognized him as Bo Bichette: Cavan’s friend and teammate.

Heat rushed to Jess’s face. She wrapped her arms around herself. “Um. Hi.”

Bo looked at her with an amused, but small, smile on his face. “Hi.”

Then she heard a muffled voice coming from the balcony. Looking over, Jess saw Cavan on the phone, pacing back and forth.

“I uh… didn’t think Cav would be back…” She frowned and looked back at Bo, feeling flustered. “And definitely not with company…”

“He forgot something,” Bo said with a shrug. He raised his eyebrows at her in question.

Nodding, she tightened her robe around herself, hyperaware of the fact that she was wearing nothing but a bathrobe in front of Bo freaking Bichette. Of course she knew who he was—Cavan was a family friend so Jess had seen numerous Blue Jays games in Toronto and on the TV. As such, she knew who most of the team was.

“Oh!” she said, suddenly realizing he had no idea who she was and why she was half-naked in Cavan Biggio’s apartment. “I’m Jess. Jessica Stone. I’m uh, Cavan’s friend.”

Bo stood and held out a hand. “Bo Bichette.”

“I know,” she said as she took his hand, blushing harder at how weird that sounded. “I mean—I’ve seen you play. With Cavan. He talks about you a lot.”

“All good things, I hope,” Bo mused.

“Mostly,” Jess said with a meek smile, pulling her hand back.

“Cav mentioned who you were, but he had to duck out for a call before he said much more than your name and the fact that you’re staying with him for a little bit,” Bo told her, folding his arms over his chest casually.

Jess nodded slightly. “Well, I’m just staying here until I find a place of my own.”

Bo regarded her with a curious expression. “How do you two know each other?”

“Our parents have known each other for years, so Cav and I kind of grew up together. Until my family and I moved up to Canada when I was fourteen.”

Bo nodded. “Have you been to Toronto before?”

Jess smiled and nodded. “Oh yeah, a few times. Even to a few Blue Jays games.”

Bo grinned. “How well do you know the area?”

“Not as well as I’d like,” she admitted. “When I’ve visited I mostly just stayed right downtown.”

“Well, maybe I can show you around sometime if Cavan hasn’t already done that.” He tilted his head to the side and offered a smile.

Jess smiled back, ignoring the way her stomach fluttered. “I’d like that.”

Cavan stepped inside, pocketing his phone. “Sorry, that was—oh, hey Jess.”

Looking over, Jess smiled slightly. “Hey. Bo and I were just getting acquainted.”

Cavan raised his eyebrow. “In your bathrobe?”

Jess’s cheeks pinkened again. “Well I didn’t think anyone was home…”

“We got back a little while ago,” Cavan said, heading to the kitchen. “Nice singing, by the way.”

If her cheeks weren’t already pink, they certainly were now. “Oh god, you heard? I’m sorry.”

Bo laughed. “Why are you sorry? You have a nice voice.”

“Thanks,” she mumbled awkwardly.

Taking a water bottle out of the fridge, Cavan said, “Do you want to head to the field with us? You could hang out while we train.”

“Would that be okay?” she asked.

Cavan shrugged. “I don’t see why not. You’re my guest, so you can come into the clubhouse until the game. Just so long as you don’t get in the way of practice.”

She smiled, excitement bubbling in her chest. While she’d been to multiple games over the past few years, she’d never been in the clubhouse of the Rogers Centre. It would be nice to meet some of Cavan’s other friends and teammates. “If you’re sure it’s all right, then I’d love to come along," she said.

Bo smirked at her. “You can have the full tour.”

She smiled shyly. “Sounds like fun. I uh, just have to get dressed.”

“Take your time,” said Cavan, who was preparing a snack.

Jess hurried to the den and shut the door.

Looking at herself in the small mirror on the wall, Jess sighed. “Of course Cav had to bring over a friend. And of freaking course I had to be half-naked in front of them.”

She shook her head slowly as she began to get dressed. Living with and near Cavan and his team was going to be an experience, she knew that much.

On their way to the Rogers Centre, Cavan and Bo talked about stuff Jess couldn’t really contribute to. Things like game plans and inside jokes about the team.

She didn’t mind, though. She was enjoying listening to them chat and laugh with each other. She was just happy to be in Toronto with new people and new experiences ahead of her.

Bo’s laugh trailed off. He glanced at Jess, who was walking on Cavan’s other side. “So what brings you to Toronto?”

She looked away from the busy street and to Bo. “I just finished school and I wanted to go somewhere new,” she said with a shrug.

Bo nodded. “What did you study?”

“Literature and journalism,” she replied. “It wasn’t professional baseball, but I enjoyed them.”

Cavan laughed softly. “Enjoyed them? Please, every family gathering you attended in the past four years involved you recommending some piece of literature. Face it, Jess: you’re a nerd.”

She smiled softly, looking down to her feet. “Maybe a little.”

“I’ve been meaning to read more,” Bo said, “maybe you can recommend something sometime?”

Her smile widened. “I’d love to.”

“Oh no, now you’ve done it,” Cavan teased.

Jess rolled her eyes playfully and Bo laughed.

“What do you want to do now that you’re done school?” Bo asked as they rounded a corner.

“I’m not sure,” Jess admitted. “I’d love to be a freelance journalist, I’m just not entirely sure what area of journalism I want to go into.”

“Become a sports journalist,” Bo suggested with a smile.

Jess smiled, too. “I had thought of that, actually.”

Cavan slung his arm around her shoulders. “Our own personal journalist.”

“Isn’t that Hazel Mae?” Jess asked.

Cavan shrugged. “Nah. She’s pretty close with all of us, but she works for Sportsnet, not us.”

Jess nodded. “I don’t think teams have their own journalists, Cav.”

“You could be the first,” he mused.

“Maybe.” She smiled, but she doubted that would happen. Still, it was a nice thought.

She leaned against Cavan as they walked, relishing in the feeling of his arm over her shoulders. It had been too long since she and Cavan had had the chance to spend time together, and she was thrilled at the opportunity to live with him for a little while. She'd missed him. She just hoped she'd get along with his friends. But, she thought, if her interactions with Bo thus far were any indication of how things would go, she'd be just fine.

one number away || cavan biggio

masterlist

Author's Note: Hi! I'm supposed to be writing a longer fic for a hockey player. But like. I wrote this instead as a way of giving myself something else to focus on so I didn't burn myself out on the other thing by focusing too hard on it. Ya know? Variety is good sometimes. Anyways! GIF credit to anotherhockeypage!

Warnings: There is a mention of a break-in/intruder with a gun. So, if you need to avoid that, that's okay. I have other fics for you to read. There's also mention of the reader whacking said intruder with a baseball bat if you need to avoid that too. And blood if that's something the squicks you. That should be it. Let me know if I missed something though. I'll add whatever I missed!!

Word Count: 2.0k+

Title: One Number Away by Luke Combs

Additional: The reader is gender-neutral! There isn't any appearance description (except mentioning that the intruder is the same stature and height as them. But I left it vague like that so anyone could imagine the intruder being the same build as them lol), but there is the use of the pronouns "they/them" to describe them. I hope that's alright! And I hope you all enjoy this! Let me know what you think because constructive criticism is always welcomed!

Tagging: @whimsical-daydreams

You were at home on a rather quiet night. The night almost seemed too quiet as you sat in front of your television and sipped idly on some coffee. You were watching a baseball game; the Washington Nationals were playing the Tampa Bay Rays. Though, you couldn’t focus on it because you felt anxious about something. Something felt like it was wrong but you couldn’t put your finger on what that was and it was bothering you too much to give your full attention to what was happening on your television screen.

Your cellphone ringing made you startle a little because of how on edge you were. When you saw that the caller ID belonged to your best friend, Cavan Biggio, you relaxed a little. It would be nice to hear his voice because talking to him always calmed your nerves. On top of that, you hadn’t talked for a few days. He had been away with his baseball team, the Toronto Blue Jays, on a west coast road trip; you couldn’t get the time difference to match up with your schedules.

"Cavan, hi!" You said cheerfully as soon as you answered the phone. "It's been a few days. How are yuh--"

"Someone broke in and they have a gun," Cavan replied, his voice quiet. You could tell that he had been crying because of how strained his voice sounded. "Please help. I'm terrified."

You felt muscles tense all over your body. You wouldn't know what to do with yourself if Cavan was shot and injured… or worse. If you were being honest with yourself, you had slowly fallen in love with Cavan from the time you became friends after meeting by chance after a game you attended in Buffalo a few years ago. And for him to call you while he was in this life-threatening situation… yeah. You didn't have time to process that. Cavan's life was in danger. You could handle it when he was safe.

"I'll be right over, hang tight. And don't try and be a hero," you responded before hanging up the phone.

You rushed around, grabbing a jacket, your shoes, and a baseball bat out of the closet since you didn't own a gun. You didn't know how well a baseball bat would hold up against an intruder with a gun but it was better than having only your bare hands.

The ten-minute drive to Cavan’s house was a blur. The next thing you remembered was seeing the windchimes above Cavan's front door swinging back and forth in the wind through the open doorway. You took a deep breath, grabbed the bat, and stepped out of your car.

You walked into the house as cautiously and as quietly as you could. You didn't want to alert the intruder that you were there, lest anything happen to you and have Cavan be put in even more danger. As you made your way around the house, you checked carefully in every room. You were trying to see if anyone was hiding out behind or under anything. There didn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary but you were only through the first floor of the house.

When you made it upstairs, you saw that the door to Cavan's bedroom was open. You also saw a shadowy figure standing in the doorway. You tiptoed across the floor, not wanting to alert whoever it was to your presence.

When you got to the door, you saw that the shadow belonged to someone of about your stature and height. They were pointing a gun at Cavan. Cavan was cowering on the bed with his hands up in a defensive posture. He was also chanting "please don't hurt me" while tears streamed down his cheeks.

Without warning, you swung the bat and hit the person with the gun in the side of the head. They crumpled to the floor with a pained groan as they dropped the gun and clutched their head.

They tilted their head a little to look up at you and then flitted their eyes in Cavan's direction.

"Fuck…." The person on the floor groaned as they removed their hand from their head and looked at the blood. "I can see why he married you now."

You twirled the bat in your hands. Glancing over at Cavan, you saw him shake his head vigorously and give you a pleading expression. You nodded back, giving Cavan a compassionate smile.

You took the bat and pointed it out into the hallway. "If you leave right now," you looked menacingly at the person. They were now sitting up so you took the bat and put it under their chin to make them focus on you, "we won't call the police. It's also not our problem how you explain the head wound. You broke into our house and pointed a gun at my husband. I protected him. You can come up with whatever excuse you want, coward."

“Alright, alright,” the person sighed as they got to their feet. They grabbed their gun and tucked it into their waistband before putting their shirt over the top of it. “I’ll get out of your hair.” They dabbed their head with their hand one last time, wiping the blood on their pants. "Sorry for the inconvenience."

With one last glance at you and Cavan, the intruder walked out of the room. You heard them walk down the stairs. A moment later, you heard the front door close with a resounding thud.

You rushed over to where Cavan was on the bed, draping an arm around him. You cradled his head against your chest, allowing him to cry into your shoulder. Against your better judgment, you peppered the top of Cavan’s head with soft kisses. You also mumbled soft words of encouragement and reassurance in an attempt to quash Cavan’s nerves.

It took a few minutes but Cavan eventually stopped crying. He lifted his head. You looked down at him and brushed a stray piece of hair out of his eyes. Cavan smiled, though it looked nervous and hesitant. He grabbed your wrist and directed it down to his lips. He looked up at you with hopeful eyes; you nodded as you took your other hand and brushed a different piece of hair out of his face. Cavan smiled again before he placed a gentle kiss on the inside of your wrist. He ran his thumb along the outside, right over the bone. You took your other hand and cupped Cavan’s face, leaning down and pressing a kiss to his forehead.

You sat on the bed next to Cavan and turned to face him. You grabbed his face and guided it towards you. Cavan swallowed as his eyes went wide and his cheeks slightly reddened. You smoothed your thumb along his cheekbone, humming in satisfaction as you did. Cavan blushed deeper, bringing his hand up and running it along your wrist.

“Stop me if you don’t want his, alright?” You said.

“Alri--” Cavan started to speak but you stopped him halfway by connecting your lips. Instead, he muffled the rest of the word into your mouth before he started moving his lips fluidly against yours.

As you kissed, you felt Cavan place his hand on your thighs. He ran them across the fabric there before he moved his hands up to your hips. He curved his hands along your hipbones, humming softly when he felt you wiggle against his hands. In retaliation, you brought your hands up and circled your thumbs around his chest. Cavan moaned, twitching on the bed.

"Uh… (Y/N)?" You jumped at the voice of one of Cavan’s teammates, Bo Bichette.

"Yes, Bo?" You asked, standing up off the bed and smoothing out your clothes.

"How'd you get here so fast? Cavan’s neighbour just called me when she saw some sketchy dude walk out the front door."

“I called them first,” Cavan piped up from behind you. You turned to look at him and noticed that his face was cotton candy pink and his hair was strewn all over the place. You swallowed thickly, knowing full well you had done that by kissing him.

Bo scoffed and rolled his eyes. “Leave it to you to realize that you’re in love with someone when an intruder breaks into your house with a gun.”

“Fuck off,” Cavan replied, though there was no heat behind his words. “As if you wouldn’t have called Vladdy first if the same thing happened to you.”

You huffed a bemused breath when you saw the death glare Bo gave Cavan in response. Bo looked at you sideways, though he also had no heat behind his intent. You chuckled bemusedly as you sat next to Cavan on the bed again and put your head on his shoulder. Cavan slung his arm around you, putting his hand on your upper arm and put his other hand on your knee. Bo’s face shifted from the glare of death to fondness as he looked at the pair of you.

“You both appear to be alright,” Bo said. “So I’ll go home now. Unless you want me to stay for a while?”

“No, it’s alright,” you replied, glancing up at Cavan. Cavan looked down at you and nodded before he pressed a kiss to your temple. “We’re fine here. I’m gonna spend the night to make sure he’s okay. We’ll call if we need anything, though.”

“Alright. Keep him safe. He’s known to panic and overthink almost everything.”

“I know, Bo. But thank you for reminding me.”

Bo gave a thumbs up and a soft smile before he walked out of the room. You heard him walk down the stairs, mill around in the foyer for a moment (presumably grabbing his jacket and shoes), and then open and close the front door. After waiting a moment to make sure Bo wasn't coming back, you lifted your head off of Cavan's shoulder and turned to look at him.

Cavan took that opportunity to lean in, pressing his lips softly to yours. You showed no sign of resistance so Cavan kept going. You did, however, melt into the kiss, cupping Cavan's cheek. You loved this feeling of kissing Cavan; you wished you never had to stop. You were enveloped in Cavan's cologne. It was a scent you didn't know the name of but it smelled vaguely of the ocean. It was something that had always been very soothing to you because the beach had been a happy place for you growing up; seeing the waves crashing the shore was very relaxing for you.

When you pulled back, Cavan wrapped you in a hug. He buried his head in the crook of your neck. You stayed like that for a moment, Cavan, sniffling softly into the crease of your shoulder and neck. When they pulled back, Cavan looked you in the eyes. His eyes were slightly wet and his cheeks had small tear tracks on them.

"I thought you'd never do that." Cavan smiled, his teeth slightly showing. It made him look so damn adorable to you.

You smiled back, a small blush creeping across your face. "I was just waiting for the right moment." You replied as you wiped away the tear stains on Cavan's cheeks.

Cavan smiled again, rubbing his thumb over your wrist. You blushed harder. Getting your feelings reciprocated was the best feeling in the world. I made you feel like a teenager that was just understanding what love was again. You also felt so alive, like you had finally discovered who you were and what you wanted. It was liberating.

"Hey, Cavan?" You grabbed Cavan's attention by tilting his face to look at you. Cavan looked expectantly at you, raising an eyebrow in anticipation. "How about I just never leave after I spend the night tonight? Somebody needs to protect the house while you're away. And we're dating now, so..."

Cavan smiled, wrapping you in a giant hug. He was smiling as he pulled back.

"Absolutely."

Bo Bichette’s Big Day Sinks Yankees in Dunedin

DUNEDIN, Fla. — Bo Bichette homered twice, including a game-ending drive leading off the ninth inning that lifted the Toronto Blue Jays over the Yankees, 5-4, on Wednesday.

Bichette drove a pitch from Chad Green (0-2) the opposite way to right-center field as Toronto took two of three in the series.

Alejandro Kirk also homered for the Blue Jays. Rafael Dolis (1-0) worked the ninth to get the win.

Aaron Judge hit two home runs for the Yankees.

Toronto went 3-3 with one rainout in its first regular-season homestand at TD Ballpark, its spring training home.

The Blue Jays are playing their first three homestands through May in Florida because of Covid-19 restrictions in Canada. The team used its Class AAA stadium in Buffalo, Ny. as a home base last year and could return there later this season.

Judge drove in the Yankees’ first run during the first inning this season on a solo homer off T.J. Zeuch. They were the last big league team to score in the first.

Judge’s second homer and a two-run single by Gio Urshela gave the Yankees a 4-3 advantage in the fourth.

Kirk hit a two-run shot in the second and Bichette connected on a third-inning solo drive off Corey Kluber that put the Blue Jays up by 3-1.

Bichette tied his career high with an 11-game hitting streak. He had three hits and also stole a base.

Toronto had Cavan Biggio tagged out to end the fifth when he overran third base on a triple. The Blue Jays loaded the bases with no outs the next inning, but scored just once on a wild pitch.

Kluber, making his third start after being limited to one inning from May 2019 until this season by right forearm and shoulder injuries, allowed three runs and six hits in four innings.

Zeuch gave up four runs and four hits in four innings. He filled in for Ross Stripling, who was scratched because of right forearm tightness.
