Levi's closeness, the chin on his shoulder and the arms around his waist, helps to pull Cecil back from his shock. But it's still overwhelming to consider. Especially when the other boy asks him directly what he thinks. "I know. It's...an incredible opportunity," he agrees, his voice a little softer now as he attempts to navigate his confused feelings.

This is an incredible opportunity for Levi and, while it's not guaranteed, it sounds like he has a very good, very real chance of making this team. And this is what he wants. What he's worked so hard for. Part of Cecil even finds the prospect exciting too. Romantic and compelling in a way he wouldn't have expected. But Ireland is so far away and so unfamiliar to him. He can't even picture what living there might be like...apart from the ocean that it would place between them and their friends and their families.

"I don't know," he admits finally, touching Levi's hand with one of his and swallowing stiffly before he adds, "I've...never really thought about it before."
