At the end of the day

Shakes' POV

[Practice just ended. We're all about to get changed and head out when I feel a hand tap my shoulder]

Tiger: Hey Shakes, I was just wondering if you wanted to help me out with some extra practice. (smiles softly) Coach says I need to be in my best shape for our next game.

[I smile back at my teammate who doesn't seem the least bit tired from practice at all]

Shakes: Um.. sure
                  I want us to be on top of our game when we face Invincible United.

Tiger: (smiles a bit wider) Thanks Shakes..

Shakes: (chuckles) No problem dude...

{Time Skip :- Finished practicing}

Shakes: (panting slightly) You tired yet..?

Tiger: (pants and takes a deep breath) Yeah... (looks at Shakes) Thanks for helping me out, Shakes.

Shakes: Again...It's no problem.

Tiger: So.. you heading home after this?

Shakes: Well.. I'm planning to (he chuckles) where else would I go?

Tiger: (he laughs softly) No not like that.. I mean do you wanna go get something to eat?

Shakes: Ohh heh.. I mean.. I wouldn't mind getting a bite.

Tiger: Ok good. It's on me.

Shakes: (raises an eyebrow) What why? we'll split the bill.

Tiger: Nope I've made up my mind.

Shakes: why though? (smiles with confusion)

Tiger: Just.. A thank you for helping me train. You're a reliable teammate and friend..

Shakes: Oh come on.. I'm doing the bare minimum here (he laughs a bit out of breath)

Tiger: You really need to learn how to accept a kind gesture (he gives a sort of qualifier smile)

Shakes: (he stares at him for a bit before sighing) Okk fine... Let's get going.

[He gives me a satisfied and almost smug smile. It's in a way quite adorable. Yeah I know he's technically older than me but I can't help but think he's adorable with the way he acts sometimes... and it definitely doesn't help that he has a comparatively smaller physique and is shorter than me...]

{Time Skip:- at the restaurant}

[We've ordered our food and wait at our table for it to arrive.]

Tiger: This place has really good food, it's one of my favorite restaurants (he smiles wide)

[His smile is so cute.. He is cute..]

Shakes: (smiles back at him) Heh I'll trust you on that.

Tiger: (smiles again and looks over at the decorations on the wall)

[I continue looking at him. He looks good even after all that practice.. I mean it's obvious he's tired but..he still has that calm and pleasant look on his face. Hm his eyes are quite pretty.. and his nose suits his face quite well..-]

{Shakes' thoughts continue to wander as he looks at Tiger}

Tiger: (looks back at Shakes) Oh do you-... (raises an eyebrow and shakes his hand in front of 
Shakes' face) hellooo anyone in there.?

Shakes: (snaps out of his thoughts) Huh.? Oh uh sorry..I guess I zoned out heh..

[What the hell am I doing?? Did I really just zone out on him...while thinking about him that too?!?]

Tiger: (smiles and chuckles) Did the extra practice make you sleepy Shakes?

Shakes: heh.. no I'm just.. out of it today I guess (he laughs awkwardly)

Tiger: The food will be here soon... maybe you'll be less 'out of it' when you eat (he smirks)

Shakes: yeah..heh

Tiger: I was gonna ask if you wanted anything to drink by the way.
             I'm getting a Mojito.

Shakes: Oh ohk... um, I'll have a Bronx.

Tiger: (intrigued) you like Gin? 

Shakes: Yeah.. why do you seem surprised?

Tiger: heh..I don't know. Just didn't think you were a Gin person I guess (he smiles softly)
             (calls the waiter) um yeah one Mojito and one Bronx, please

Waiter: Sure thing. Anything else, sir?

Tiger: hm.. no that's it. Thank you (smiles at the waiter)
             (the waiter smiles back and leaves)

[He's really kind as well... I mean it's hard not to adore him..he's perfect..]

{Their food and drinks arrive}

Tiger: Thank you~

Shakes: Thanks (smiles)

{Time skip:- they finish eating}

Tiger: What'd you think?

Shakes: The food was great.! Next time I need to eat at a restaurant I'm definitely asking you first (laughs softly)

Tiger: (chuckles) Sure thing.. I'm glad you enjoyed it.. (smiles genuinely)

[He's smiling again... Gosh, what's going on with me.? He's just smiling... but why do I feel-]

Tiger: You're zoning out again Shakes... (smiling but with a slightly concerned look)
             Are you ok? Is something on your mind?

Shakes: Um no nothing is on my mind...

[Well actually something is on my mind. YOU. And I don't know why.!]

Tiger: (scrunches eyebrows) You sure..? You know if you want to talk I'll happily listen.. (catches one of his hands)

[This man might just kill me..]

Shakes: No.. I'm fine.. really

Tiger: (smiles not totally convinced) If you say so.. (lets go of his hand)

Shakes: (looks down at his hands) Um.. Thank you.. for everything
                 I'll head back home about now.. it's getting late.

Tiger: oh uh yeah..it is getting late.

{They are outside of the restaurant now}

Tiger: Ohk.. thanks again and get home safe (smiles sweetly)

Shakes: yeah... Thank you, Tiger.
                 mhm... get home safe ok?

Tiger: (smiles a bit wider) Yeah.. See you on Monday?

Shakes: yeah...

{Time Skip:- Shakes reaches his apartment and sits on the couch)

[What's wrong with me..?]
