Title: Grand Slam Author: Jo Pairing: Joaquin Phoenix/Orlando Bloom Rating: PG Summary: Laughter Disclaimer: Absolute 100% fiction. Notes: For Brenda on the occasion of her birthday. Love you, cricket! AU based loosely on the LOTR Speakeasy characters. NOT canon. "Did you see? Did you?" Orlando practically bounces as he comes out of the locker room. Joaquin laughs, steps in for a tight hug. "I saw, baby." Even if his Dodgers lost, it was worth it to see Orlando hit his first grand slam. At home, even. Joaquin couldn't ask for more. "It was amazing, 'Quin! The second I hit it, I knew." He bounces again, grinning ear to ear. "Hit it for you." "You did not." "Did, too!" Orlando manages to look indignant for five seconds. Then he's laughing, too, as he presses a swift kiss to Joaquin's jaw. ~fin~
