Aw, I knew there was a reason I was conscious already.
Maybe it’s Canada, it doesn’t count because you’re in a different country. <-- That line made me think of Huddy/Mulder, which momentarily saddened me and made me wary of how this was gonna turn out ^_~
I adore the jittery, nervous energy that runs throughout this piece. And this realization on Z's part:
You kinda wish that all your plans for having sex with Harden didn’t involve him being drunk or you telling a lie. But you’ll take what you can get.
Makes the end that much better. God bless Rich for realizing when he needs to take a situation in hand, as it were ^_^
it's a pretty well-accepted axiom, yes? what happens in canada, stays in canada. there are a bunch of things that i'm only allowed to do if i'm in a different country.
He’s not mumbling half-incoherently, “fuck, girl, just like that,”
KaPOW! Zam! *shadowboxes* Damn, that's a suckerpunch right there. The hair lets 'em all forget, I'll bet, heh.
Canada is a weird place, cold and flat, a little bit like the midwest with some Europe thrown in for good measure and the sense of more space, even if you can't see it. Good place for a guy to get lost in. Or, you know, laid.
I fucking love how Zito talks to Richie while he's asleep. The line I’d take half of you over three of anybody else, swear I would in particular - and not just what he says but how he says it... "swear I would". Z is just so many parts boy despite having all the appearances of a man.
You give him a hug and even that’s okay.
Okay, major leaguers? Hugging? Makes me incredibly damn happy.
Harden has taken off both sweatshirts and you can see his forearms and it shouldn’t affect you like it does
omg, forearms. I've got such a fetish.. Over Harden's even, 'cos ayrdaomei made some Richie icons where his forearms dominated the image, and I made myself stop looking before I developed a thing for Harden too - but not before I asked her to make a similar icon of Zito's arms.
Anyway, so I totally feel Z's fascination here.
I’m not shy and I was never really that drunk, Zito
I love the way Harden just comes out with it. And then poor dumb Zito; thank god for Richie coming out and pulling him back into the warmth.
I just don't wanna get my heart broken because through all of 2004 I saw a total of one A's game and don't expect to get to see much more than that.
Also, there's this friend I have who's an *cough*Angelsfan*cough* and I feel like I'm betraying her by falling so hard for the A's - but man, I am too far gone to turn back now.
Every step you take is extra-careful, oil slicks on the soles of your shoes
Zito and me both.
Rich Harden says to you, “the solution to all our problems is to drive for days in no particular direction.”
Richie grabbing Zito's "sage" role. I like it.
Driving around until you find the bad part of town where the gas is cheaper, eating fast food until your eyes are heavy and your heart hurts.
You'd think they could afford a couple cents more for gas and good food. Old/bad habits die hard, I suppose.
Harden knows this highway and he gets brighter the farther north you go
I know this feeling. I can see it shining in Harden's eyes, causing Zito's breath to catch at its clear joy.
the silver-red dashboard lights flick like moths across his face
I adore new similes, too.
The towns are spreading out, the woods thickening and the moon rising.Ha, they do that about an hour past Sacramento, too. If they're on I-5, you hit one city worth the name (pop. 90,000) between

(That's the same card I try to pull when people talk to me about the Beatles. Doesn't work then either.)

I know, I know - I've seen his eyes.

**laughs** I totally thought of you and your arm-fetish when I got to that line about Rich's forearms :-P

I love new metaphors. :)
