Title: "Mid-Summer Bet" Pairing: Ben Roethlisberger/Matt Hasselbeck Rating: PG Summary: Ben loses an old bet to Matt. Part Seventeen of The Bet Series. Disclaimer: Never happened. Notes: Drabble written just after the All-Star Game, which was held in Pittsburgh. The American League won, 3-2. FYI, the Pittsburgh Pirates are a National League team and the Seattle Mariners are an American League team, so Matt & Ben betting against each other makes sense. *g* "Pay up." "Dude, what're you talking about, we don't –" "The American League just won." "Are you shitting me? You remember that?" "Man doesn't forget a bet like that, Ben." "We made it in January." "So?" "So...you have a freakish memory." "And you still have to pay up." "You car's in Seattle." "Yours, then. I'm not that picky." "Weren't you just telling me I should rest up?" "You keep saying you don't need it." "Well, I don't." "Alright, then. Pay up." "Fucking pervert." "Hey, you're the one that agreed." "Fucking National League..." "Don't worry, there's always next year to get even." Onto Hedge Your Bets If you enjoyed this fic, please leave feedback here. Thanks!
