002 Play [Video || Action]

[dillonrockstar]

[Tim is out in the park with a football. He's rigged up an old tire to swing from a tree limb and he's hammering the football through the tire. He jogs out to get the football then returns to do it again. Throwing passes aren't really his thing but catching passes takes more than one person. He actually looks fairly thoughtful for a change rather than confused. ]

Anybody wanna play catch or want to learn?

I never had rally girls. The cheerleaders would bake us cookies and stuff but it was more of an entire organization thing. Yours sound like fun though.

[dillonrockstar.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I miss rally girls. [He sighs a little bit at that.] So college don't got 'em either? [His hopes are crumbling now.]

[bloodcakedarmor.livejournal.com]

College? No. That would be a pretty big distraction. College it's all about stats and who's in and out and who's going pro.

[dillonrockstar.livejournal.com]

Nah, see that's the beauty of rally girls. You don't gotta focus on anythin' except football. You need to eat, they'll get your food. You need beer, they'll get that. Homework, it's done. all you have to worry about is football.

I'll take your word for it. How about throwing me that ball. Let's see what kind of arm you've got.

[dillonrockstar.livejournal.com]

Passin' ain't really my game. I'm a fullback. [He throws the ball anyway. It's a good pass. Clearly not QB quality but a good pass.]

[bloodcakedarmor.livejournal.com]

[Derek catches the ball easily, dancing back a few feet to do so.] Not bad! I was a receiver so I only really know how to catch aside from when I used to play street ball as a kid. In street ball you do a little of everything.

[dillonrockstar.livejournal.com]

Yeah. We goof off in the off season, sometimes during the season so I can throw a pass but I'm better at hitting people and catching.

[bloodcakedarmor.livejournal.com]

That's why I joined an FBI team that goes out in the field. I still get to tackle.

[Derek taps the ball twice with his other hand and then lets it sail through the air toward Tim.]

[Tim takes several steps backwards and goes up on his toes a bit to catch the ball.]

What do you tackle?

[bloodcakedarmor.livejournal.com]

Bad guys who run. [He shrugs.] And more often than not, they do run.

[dillonrockstar.livejournal.com]

Never really got that. [Tim has always been the idiot that takes the consequences. Of course he hasn't been in that much trouble yet]

[bloodcakedarmor.livejournal.com]

Never really got what? Running?

[dillonrockstar.livejournal.com]

Yeah. When you've screwed up, you oughta be able to at least handle the consequences.

[Derek chuckles a bit at that, surprised by Tim for the first time.] Sadly that philosophy is a rare one. It's a good one though.

[He nods and claps his hands together, ready for another catch.] Let me have it.

[dillonrockstar.livejournal.com]

[He's got a layer or two. That's one of the surprising ones.]

Ain't like it's not gonna catch up to you anyway.

[He throws the ball, a real pass this time. Derek knows how to play so no more messing around.]

[bloodcakedarmor.livejournal.com]

[Derek catches the football and immediately passes again, just to see how quick on his toes Tim is.] Like the saying, your past always catches up to you.

[dillonrockstar.livejournal.com]

[Tim has to hustle to catch the ball but he does. he grins and tosses it back immediately.] And you always get judged by it.
