A Song and a Pitch
Pairing: (Y/N) x Corey Seager
A/N: I went a little crazy with this one, I started and just couldn’t stop, so sorry about that.
Warnings: none
Request:I have a request for Corey Seager were the reader and Corey are dating and the reader is a famous singer and is performing the national anthem and throws out the first pitch
“What if I forget the words? What if my voice cracks? What if my pitch is awful? If I throw a horrible pitch, i’m gonna be put on a list with Carly Rae Jepsen and 50 Cent, and I do not want to be on that list.” You were pacing around Corey and your shared bedroom.
“Are you really that worried? You have performed for way bigger crowds than the crowd at Dodger Stadium.” He laughed.
“Yes, I know that, but in the music world, the National Anthem is sacred and if you mess it up, you are basically a joke. I really don’t want that.” You say sitting on the edge of the bed.
“You are not going to forget the words, your voice is not going to crack, you are going to do exactly what you always do and you are going to rock that stadium.” He says pulling you into his chest.
“As for the pitch, I’ve seen you thrown and I don’t have high hopes.” He laughed.
“Asshole.” You say hitting his chest.
“Even if you do mess up, it’s me on the other side of the plate, I will make you look good.” He says kissing your forehead.
“Thanks, but if I look bad, it’s on you.” You say.
The two of you fall asleep, leaving any stress you have in the rearview mirror, well until the morning. When you wake up Corey is already gone.
“Damn morning workouts.” You say to yourself.
Stress does come back as the day goes by, but you stay calm knowing Corey will be right there with you. Arriving at the stadium, you feel the butterflies in your stomach as you are taken in the players entrance and through the halls, and up to where the organist is placed.
“We’ll let you warm up and then we will come get you, we will run you through everything as we walk down to the field.” The woman smiles.
“Awesome! Thank you!” You smile back.
As you start to warm up, Sue, the woman who runs the social media stops by.
“Hey (Y/N), do you mind if I take some videos for our story?” She asks.
“Not at all! Do what you need to do.” You say going back to your warmup.
As you warmup you look down and see the guys taking batting practice, and you nerves start to ease, because you really are just performing in front of a bunch or your friends.
“Knock, Knock. (Y/N) are you ready to get down to the field?” The woman who dropped you here said as she came in.
“Let’s do it, I think I am all warmed up.” You smile.
“Alright you can follow me.” She said.
You follow her out the door and to an elevator.
“We’re gonna give you a mini-tour and then we’ll go through the clubhouse, and out to the dugout. Then you will have about fifteen minutes to mingle with fans and players, after that we will give you the mic and you can do your thing. After the National Anthem, there will be about a five to ten minute gap, and then you will throw out the first pitch, its says you be throwing to Corey Seager, oh, well I could have guessed that.” She laughed
You sometimes forget that everyone who keeps up with pop culture, also is exposed to your love life. You and Corey had gone public a few months ago and you both don’t regret to for a second.
You arrive to the halls leading to the clubhouse, they are riddled with glass case adorned with World Series Trophies, Golden Gloves, and Silver Sluggers. Following the woman she takes you through the clubhouse, the same one that is closed to the public, which almost made you feel as if you weren’t supposed to be there. Then the hallway from the clubhouse to the dugout, you could hear the buzzing from the guys and the stadium alike.
You walked through the dark hall, following the light of the California sun. When you walked out, all you friends greeted you. Cody, Justin, Chris, and Will all wished you luck and followed you out to the field.
“(Y/N), you are going to do great, Corey said you were a little nervous.” Chris said.
“I was last night, but now that I am here, I feel pretty good.” You said.
“Surprise!” Corey said grabbing your shoulder from behind.
“Hey babe!” You said.
“How are you feeling?” He asked.
“I’m feeling really good. I’m ready to go.” You smile.
“(Y/N), are you ready?” The woman asks.
“Let’s do this.” You say looking at Corey.
“You are gonna do great.” He says.
“And to perform our National Anthem, Grammy winning recording artist, (Y/N) (L/N)!”
The crowd goes crazy, and you wave and smile at the camera projecting you on the jumbo-trons.
“Take it away (Y/N)!” The voice booms again.
You take a deep breathe..
“Oh say can you see…”
“That was amazing! Thank you (Y/N)! Now get warmed up for your first pitch!” The voice comes over the stadium, though you can hardly hear it over the crowd.
The woman ushers you over to the pitching mound and hands you the ball.
“Good luck!” She says walking away.
“Now throwing the first pitch, welcome (Y/N) again! She will be pitching to Corey Seager.” The crowd gives an overwhelming “awww”, which you can’t help but laugh.
“I love you.” Corey mouths.
“I love you too.” You mouth back.
You go into your windup, emulating a Clayton Kershaw, and you let it rip. Now it wasn’t the best pitch Dodger Stadium has ever seen, but it made it pretty far before bouncing to the ground, the bouncing to Corey’s glove.
You can’t help but celebrate, by jumping in the air.
“Great pitch (Y/N)!” The voice boomed again.
Corey jogged over to you with a huge smile on his face.
“Alright guys look at me and hold the ball up, I gotta get this online.” Sue said with her camera.
You two posed for the picture and smiled.
“Thanks guys!” Sue said looking up briefly from her camera.
“You did amazing (Y/N), I could not be more proud of you.” Corey kissed you on the cheek.
“I was no Clayton Kershaw, but I did alright.” You laughed.
“Alright (Y/N), we gotta go so this game can start.” The woman said.
“Have a good game, I love you.” You said turning to Corey.
“I love you too.” He said as she ushered you back to the dugout.
You found your way to your seat with your friends right behind the Dodger dugout, and you watched Corey take his team to victory, I would say it was a pretty good night for the both of you.
