November 2017 Writing Challenge - #18 - Sports On Stage

Put a sport on stage. The victory reveals something about the character.

Have fun with the sport.

Imagine if you'd like some of the staging conventions that could be set up- or don't!

Maybe break the fourth wall!

Still distracted by research.  Still poking around the scene throughline for Micah and Auggie - an insert that plugs into yesterday's scene...

What's that look for?

                          MICAH
Nothing, really.  Just, I've never heard you say, "Snuggle up" before.  Actually, I don't think I've ever heard you call it anything before.

                          AUGGIE
Even though it's a thing.

                          MICAH
Even though it's a thing.

                          AUGGIE
Before it just seemed weird to call it something, or, you know, to ask.

                          MICAH
So you'd just shove up against me and keep burrowing until I relent and throw an arm around you.

                          AUGGIE
Something like that.

                          MICAH
So it's OK, as long as we don't draw attention to it or give it a name.

                          AUGGIE
Kinda.  Before.

                          MICAH
And now?

                          AUGGIE
I guess we're not pretending anymore?

                          MICAH
The rules of being a guy are very complex and confusing, I'm not gonna lie.
