Intimacy--The Corrs

Who: Noel and Ritchie
What: First Date
When: Saturday night, 7-ish
Where: Ballycastle Quidditch Pitch
Rating: Not sure yet.
Status: Closed/Incomplete.

First dates were scary as fuck. First date ever was even scarier. He'd been out with people before but this was different. This was a date. Not a word used often in his vocabulary. And it could potentially lead to something. Because, let's face it, despite what little Noel had talked to him, he really liked Ritchie. There was just something about the boy--and not just the great body or that he was great in bed--that made him smile and not a little bit fluttery.

After work that day, he'd gone home and showered, changed into a nice pair of jeans and a blue t-shirt, deciding to leave his hair down. He had puttered around the apartment, cleaned up. He'd gone for a walk after even music failed to calm his nerves.

Noel went into this knowing he was going to be nervous but he didn't expect it to be to this extent. He was nervous about quite a a few things. Not just because it was his first proper date, but because he liked him and wasn't really sure what to do with that. It was a new emotion, this affection. He shouldn't feel like this already should he? They'd only talked a few times.

And then there was this whole celibacy thing. He really wanted to attempt it. He knew Michael had bet him he couldn't and maybe--well, maybe he couldn't. But he'd like to try. He wondered if Ritchie would be okay with it. He certainly hoped so. It was just so difficult to finally articulate to himself just what he needed. It was intimacy. It took being with three people in three days to make him realize the emptiness in the life he'd been living. Music was fulfilling, his family supportive, but there was just something missing.

Now here he stood, sweater pulled around him. The wind off the Atlantic was cold. Fall was coming. He flicked his cigarette to the ground and leaned against the pitch. He hoped Ritchie'd get there soon so Noel wouldn't lose his nerve.

Nervous? He was beyond nervous. All that had been on his mind today was Noel and that was the way he seemed to like it. He was nervous about doing the wrong thing, making a mistake and say the wrong thing. He didn't want to make a fool of himself because he was geniunely feeling something more than physical attraction for this boy. He felt silly for feeling when it had only been that one time and they had not talked a lot since but there was just something about him. Ritchie couldn't quite place it or explain it and honestly he almost didn't want to. He liked this feeling what ever it was. He was nervous about screwing the night up but he couldn't see that happening as long as he didn't do anything too stupid. He probably would though knowing his luck.

After a good practice and telling the boys about his night he had planned he had gone home. He had showered away the sweat and grim of the day and had dressed and undressed four times before settling on his outfit of choice. He was sporting a nice new pair of jeans, a causal sweater and a zip up hoodie. He didn't want to feel too over dressed. He had also slipped his feet into some new sneakers and slipped on his hat. Ritchie loved his hat but if the boy wanted a to play with his hair he could. Ritchie just liked the way his hat looked on him.

Finally he was ready but he couldn't head back to the pitch just yet. He had a stop to make. So with his back pack slung on his shoulder he headed out. Inside his back pack was pillow and a blanket, the wonders of magic really. He apparated out to the nearest take out chinese place and ordered as much food as he figured he could carry and pay for. He didn't know what Noel liked so he bought a bit of everything. He got extra chow mien which was his favourite and had also got a lot of sweet and sour pork. No way was he going to manage cooking so take out was it.

Once all was ordered and ready he piled it up in his arms, two large brown bags of food and apparated to the pitch. "Little help?!" He said sounding a tad frantic as he stumbled to his feet and looked around for Noel. He noticed how cold it was tonight, they would just have to keep each other warm.

Noel couldn't help his laugh as Ritchie stumbled with their food. He ran over to help him, still grinning. "It is just you and me right? Not the entire team?" He teased, looking at the huge bags of food. He looked so good, that hat was adorable. He bit his lip. At least this didn't feel as awkward as he had expected it to be.

Taking one, he pushed a hand through his blonde hair, smiled at Ritchie and greeted him properly, "Hey."

"Yes it is just me and you." He laughed thinking that maybe he had gone overboard on the food but he just didn't know what Noel liked. Ritchie wanted to please him. "Thank you," he said as Noel took one of the bags so that it allowed him to pull his bag from his shoulders. "I didn't know what you liked so I almost bought the entire menu. I only eat take out so left overs won't be too bad." Ritchie nodded as he put the bag down and pulled out the blanket and lay it out. "So I have a blanket and pillow. I wish I had brought two blankets cause it is a bit chilly but if we fold the blanket in half we can sit on it and wrap it around us." Ritchie nodded his head thinking it all made sense, plus it could give him a reason to cuddle with Noel. He couldn't wait to have his arms around him and hold him close, perhaps kiss his neck. He wanted to hear all about Noel.

"So shall we dig in?" He said looking at him as he took the other bag from it and put it down on the blanket. Ritchie took a step towards him and kissed him softly before sitting down on the blanket. He hoped Noel didn't mind the kiss but he figured he wouldn't.

Noel had to duck his head and blush, a pleased little smile on his lips. That kiss was so sweet and even a bit tentative it seemed. He sat down next to Ritchie, smile still in place. "Did you get spring rolls and shrimp fried rice?" He asked hopefully, that was his favourite.

He looked up at the sky a moment, the sun was just going down and there were spectacular streaks of orange and pink and purple. "I'm so glad it's not cloudy out." He smiled, returning his attention to Ritchie. He really was looking forward to actually getting to know someone. And even more so because it was Ritchie.

"Yup I did!" Ritchie said brightly as he pulled out two things of shrimp fried rice. "It is my favourite so I bought two and I like chow mien so I have a bunch of that. I have like six spring rolls, lots of sweet and sour pork." Yup Ritchie loved his chinese, he could eat so much of it and normally ate till he felt sick. Ritchie looked at Noel and smiled. "Ready to dig in?"

He held out some chopsticks and paper plates. "So sweetie what would you like first?" He asked not even noticing the fact he had said sweetie. "You know this was all I thought about all day." It was the truth he really wanted to get to know Noel.

Sweetie? Noel looked at him, amused, wondering if Ritchie had even realized he'd said that. "I think I'll have the rice first." He picked up a carton of shrimp rice and opened it up with a happy little smile. It had been so long since he'd had take-away. He took a tentative bite and let out a small noise of pleasure. "God, this is good." He took another bite, swallowed, then admitted, "I've been worrying. But it seems I really had no reason too."

"Alright I will cover the chow mien" he said as he took a bite. He took another bite just as Noel made that sound. Shit did the boy make those noises all the time? So apparently he was just attracted to his sounds be it talking, singing, or just a nose. Bloody hell. If he was not careful he was going to end up quite the situation again. "No there was no reason for worry." He nodded as he scoop some more food into his mouth. "So what do you like to do in your spare time?"

	"I'm glad," he smiled, eating some more, as he thought about the question. "I make music or read or go for walks. If I can get a few people together, I like to go out for karaoke or just to dance." He played a bit with his chopsticks. "I tend to go for the first one though. What about yourself?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Ritchie nodded munched as he nodded his head listening to Noel, he was so easy to listen too. Ritchie found that Noel was attractive in more ways than just his appearance even in the way he ate. He paused to think of his own answer to the question. "I like to read but I mainly just practice and hang out with the team. I also play video games." Ritchie chuckled as she scratched his head.

Was it silly to want to finish eating fast so that he can lay down on the blanket together and snuggle. Yup he wanted to wrap his arms around him. He wanted to be close in a completely different way than the night before.

"What kind of video games?" Noel asked, he thought it was quite cute that he did so. Very boyish. And so adorable. He finished his rice and munched a spring roll as he thought about maybe getting a little closer to Ritchie. Was it too soon? Would he be pushing the boundaries if he did so? Would it be too forward? He thought about these things, trying not to get worried again.

Oh fuck it. He scooted a little closer to Ritchie and leaned against him as he took another bite of his spring roll.

"The shooty kind" he shrugged his shoulders as he took a few bites of his spring roll. He was thinking about maybe moving closer to him but he couldn't help but want to. He finished off his spring roll as Noel moved closer. He looked at him as he placed his arm around him. Ritchie watched as he finished his spring roll. Ritchie waited a moment before he moved to kiss Noel again. Ritchie kissed him not caring about the food anymore.

Noel laughed softly at the description shooty kind. He really didn't like the shooting games, they were always so violent and bloody to him. He liked the games like Lord of the Rings, Fable and the Champions of Norath. At least those were just violent. He finished his spring roll and then suddenly found himself being kissed.

Ritchie kept surprising him. It took a moment, but then Noel kissed him back, resting a hand on the other boy's leg.

Yup it was official Ritchie liked to kiss Noel. Yup he really really did. As his hand rested on his thigh he really figured that it was time to forget about the food. Ritchie moved to lay down pulling Noel with him since his lips were still attached to his. Ritchie ran his tongue along Noel's lips as he moved to get a bit more comfortable on the blanket. Finally breaking from the kiss, "Sorry about it I just couldn't help it." Ritchie's arms were around him still and he leaned his forehead against his. "I kind of just want to stay like this, the food will keep and we can always warm it." Ritchie was quite content to keep Noel nice and close.
