I can never pass up MiyuNabe! Sobs
***
As a draftee for the Hiroshima Toyo Carps, Miyuki received an invitation to come and see a home game and tour the stadium as well. They were generous enough to provide two tickets and travel accommodations for him and his guest.
He debated about who to ask to come along but he knew in his heart there was only one person he truly wanted to invite and that was Nabe. Miyuki and Nabe had grown extremely close over their senior year. His duties as captain had kept him insanely busy, and he longed for a chance to spend some free time with Nabe even though opportunities were few and far between.
Nabe looked flustered at the invite. “Surely you’d rather take Kuramochi or Sawamura – or – even your father,” he’d stammered.
Miyuki shook his head. “I’d like you to come with me,” he said with a shy smile.
On the day of the game they took the train to Hiroshima, excitedly chatting and watching the scenery pass from the bullet train window. When they arrived at the stadium they laughed at the mascot slyly dancing around with small children and made their way to their seats.
They had a perfect view of the field – so close they could smell the freshly cut grass. The Carps took their place on the field in their red and white uniforms. Miyuki couldn’t help but thrill at the thought that soon he would wear one as well. He knew it was sure to be a close game against the Nippon Ham team and he wanted to get a good look at possible future opponents.
As the game progressed they analyzed every pitch, and every move made by the fielders and batters. They got more excited as the innings flew by, debating strategy with each other and trying to guess what pitch would come next. After all this time, Miyuki was still blown away by Nabe’s baseball sense. He felt a tug in his heart reminding him how much he would miss these conversations when he was here and Nabe was attending Tokyo University.
Around the fifth inning Miyuki’s stomach had begun to rumble – and the smells coming from the tray of a passing food vendor were too tantalizing to resist. He turned to Nabe, and caught an expression that he’d never expected. Nabe was looking at him with a soft smile and eyes… eyes that held adoration.
The sight shook him to his core. Miyuki knew how he felt but had no clue as to Nabe’s feelings. He tried to fight the heat rising in his face at the thought but of course he was completely unsuccessful.
“W-want something from the vendor? My treat.” He was finally able to get out the question he’d planned to ask.
Nabe was blushing as well, it was evident he knew he’d been caught staring. “Sure” he said, dropping his gaze to look at the concrete stands.
The rest of the game passed in somewhat awkward silence. The team recruiter came up to them afterward and took them on a tour of the stadium and by then it was evening. They had a somewhat subdued dinner, neither wanting to address the elephant in the room.
With about a twenty minute wait before their train departed for the ride back to Tokyo, they walked over to a park near the restaurant. It had a fountain that was lit up with seating areas around it. Miyuki motioned his head towards a bench. “Let’s hang out here a bit,” he said as he sat down.
Nabe joined him, purposely looking in every direction but his.
Miyuki gazed up at the sky. “I don’t want tonight to end,” he finally said. He risked a glanced over at Nabe who looked shocked at first.
Then a smile more brilliant than the lit fountain crossed Nabe’s features. “Me neither,” he grinned.

I couldn't resist continuing this one, Hil :)

They gazed at each other, the loud sounds of the brightly lit fountain in their ears. Miyuki opened his mouth to speak and closed it again. What was he going to say that didn’t sound completely crazy? He wanted to go “there,” even though he wasn’t sure exactly were “there” was.
The gleam of excitement in Nabe’s eyes faded gently to warm adoration the longer the silence stretched out between them. Miyuki took a breath, feeling himself on the edge of a precipice. What if he just jumped for once without thinking about every possibility first? He had his future and goals to think about, sure, but did he really have to think about that now of all times? Couldn’t he reach out for something he’d always wanted but would never let himself have?
He stood up. “Let’s not go back tonight.”
Nabe’s eyes went wide. “Are you sure?”
Miyuki smiled. “Positive. Let’s see this city at night.”
They walked together, away from the train station. The night was cool but very clear. At first the awkward silence persisted between them until Nabe asked him what he thought about the Carps facilities.
“I like it there,” said Miyuki. “I think I would like to play for them.”
“They’d know how to utilize your talents,” said Nabe, sounding more like himself. “And you would like the challenge for sure.”
“Think you know a lot about me, do you?” said Miyuki, teasing lightly.
Nabe flushed red. “N-no, it’s just that I’ve been watching you.” He stopped walking. “That didn’t sound right.” He turned to face Miyuki. “I’ve been observing you for so long and how you interact with the other players that I feel like I have a good…handle on you…as a player.”
Miyuki felt a small glow. “A good handle on me, eh?” He couldn’t resist teasing him.
Nabe pressed his lips together and grabbed Miyuki’s arm. “Come on!”
They wandered down Machiya Street, all lit with lanterns. Miyuki thought there would be more people but they passed only a few groups. They talked about baseball and Nabe’s plans at Tokyo University. Every once in a while Nabe paused to take a picture.
They stopped at Okonomimura shops for a late night snack, eating noodles side by side. Their conversation was flowing, easy, even about personal things. Miyuki found himself opening up to him in a way he never had before.
Nabe had gotten up to find the restroom. Miyuki sat alone watching the late night crowds go by, sipping tea. He realized he trusted Nabe like he’d never trusted anyone before and it wasn’t just because of his extensive baseball knowledge, it was also because of his earnestness and straightforward nature.
Nabe returned and Miyuki smiled up at him. “Where to now?”
“Peace Boulevard.” They set off for the famous street. The beautiful evening had brought with it crowds of people enjoying the weather and the illuminations along the street.
“Just think, Kazuya, when you win as a Carp, you’ll be going down this street with the rest of the team during the victory parade.”
Miyuki stopped. “Kazuya?”
Nabe paused, placing his hand on his mouth. “Oh! Sorry, I didn’t mean—.”
“You keep calling me that, most people don’t. I think only Mei calls me by my first name now.”
Nabe smiled. It was after midnight and the street was magically lit up. He stepped closer. “All right, Kazuya, I’ll keep calling you that.” His voice was gentle. Miyuki reached out and gently touched his cheek. He dropped his hand right away but saw the adoration bloom in Nabe’s eyes. He didn’t know how it was going to work but he knew they would be able to figure it out. Together.
