You and Mike were the perfect pair. He was the catcher for the 15U rec team you were on, and you were pitcher. Everyone knows that pitcher and catcher are usually already pretty close, having to practice together constantly, but there was anothet reason.

Mike barely talked, only speaking to those he was really close with. You, however, were the opposite. You talked. A lot. Mike didn't mind it though, he actually found it sweet that you would always ramble on about whatever you wanted to near him.

Even if he almost never talked, you knew that he wasn't the 'emo' or 'mute' kid everyone thought he was. You knew that he was really athletic, and just a nice kid who needed to find the right friend.

Tonight, was no different. You, him and the rest of your team were going against another. Neither of you were worried though, knowing that they weren't too great. You and him were warming up together, like always, after everyone left to go to the dugout. And of course, like always, you were rambling on and on and on about random things while he caught for you.
