awwww, sweetie. this is great. your story is so full of beautiful angst, hollow sadness and emotion.

“They wouldn’t…”
“I don’t think so.”
Another pause.
“Would Steinbrenner…”
“No. No.” And then, with less certainty, “I don’t think so.”
"You're not sure?"
Derek sighed. "Are you?"

“Keep in touch, yeah?”
“Yeah. Only five months until April.”
“Yeah.”
“We’ll talk soon.”
“OK.”
“Take care. Bye.”
“Bye.”

the dialogue really makes it.

thank you for posting! theboysofsummer RULE!

why is this happening?!?! they can't take our boys away! they can't part their pure and absolute slashy love! noooooo!

I'm glad you like the dialogue. Stilted seems to be my specialty with these two.

There is more to come!!

[willysunny]

w00t! i'm thrilled. bring it on, baby!

and i would not call the dialogue stilted. it's actually quite fitting for them.

if we ever met, you might get a better understanding as to why my nomar and derek have diarrhea of the mouth. i think i write my own big mouth into their characters. :)

It's stilted, but it's supposed to be. It's an awkward conversation to be having. As is the one I'm writing now. Stupid work, distracting me from writing fic!

[willysunny]

okay, fine, it's stilted. but in the cutest way possible. it created a nice visual in my head and made me giggle.

and, yes, damn work does seem to get in the way at the most inopportune times, doesn't it.

d00d, i'm having writer's block. i think it has something to do with the fact that i'm getting closer and closer to writing real slash and my brain is threatening to turn off. i've got nomar "sleeping over" and now my mind is totally blank.

maybe i need to take a break and read some smut. something to push me forward into the dark depths of PWP. let the smut-reading begin! :)

I had to change a line, as I have just realized that spring training starts in March.

So 'Only five months until April' is now "Spring training in four months."

D'oh.
