Summary: "It must be nice, going out on on dates and stuff."

"Uwaaahhh..." Sakaeguchi sighed covetously as he watched some of their classmates wander home from their various after-school activities. "I wish I had a girlfriend..."
"Yeah." Mizutani agreed as a bunch of couples walked by, hand in hand or just walking close together. "It must be nice, going out on dates and stuff."
Sakaeguchi and Mizutani both sighed in envy of the lucky bastards walking home with their girlfriends. In the background, Abe shouted at Mihashi to stop being so afraid of the ball.
"What are you talking about?" Tajima demanded, pausing in his practise swings as he waited for Mihashi to get out of the batting cage so he could take his turn in front of the pitching machine. "It's easy to get a date! Here, I'll show you-"
"No!" Sakaeguchi quickly amended his previous comment as Mizutani frantically shook his head. "I meant it must be hard to find the time in-between baseball and practise and stuff! I didn't actually mean-"
"OI~ HANAI~" Tajima shouted, ignoring his classmate in favour of their captain. Hanai glanced in their direction, holding a clipboard as he talked to Oki next to Momokan, who was demonstrating to Shinooka to how to do something mind-boggling with the bag of fruit the coach had brought with her. "Wanna go out on a date this Sunday?! 10 o'clock at the park! We can go to the movies!"
Hanai absentmindedly nodded and waved back as fruit exploded nearby. "Okay!"
"See?" Tajima grinned at his two befuddled team-mates. "Getting a date's not hard at all. It's figuring out whose house you're going to afterwards that's the tricky part."
"Your turn." Abe informed Tajima as he and Mizutani left the batting cage. Tajima grinned and bounced in. He had a rendezvous with a bat and some balls he didn't want to miss.
"... Wait." Hanai's suspicious voice came floating back. "What did I just agree to?"
