It took Jude a long time to figure things out. He was never that interested in the sports that his dad thought he should have been, and he didn't quite understand it when he was handed posters of pretty girls by cousins and uncles. I mean, they were cute and all, but he never felt the intense urges that everyone else seemed to describe. One day, his mom prodded him to join his father to watch a football game, and rather than finding an excuse like he normally did, Jude sat down to see what all the fuss was about.

At one point, the camera cut to the quarterback sitting on the sideline--a handsome, muscular looking guy with a jaw that could carve a diamond and shoulders that could hold up the sky. Jude's mouth went a little dry, and there was a bit of embarrassment as he quickly shifted a pillow into his lap. For the rest of the game, his eyes were locked on his new favorite player for his new favorite team. Heck, he'd never even had a favorite team before, but he sure as heck did now.

Posters and cards followed, and old sports trophies from when he was a kid were put back on shelves. And maybe a few posters could be swapped out... and a few... new purchases could be discretely made.

Did you know those cheerleader skirts came in his size? Cause they do.

They sure as heck do.

Jude belongs to me! :)
