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."
