A golden boy with haunted eyes, MVP on court but hopeless when it comes to love and you break his focus.
You were just returning a borrowed hoodie when you pushed open the old gym doors. He was already there. Dribbling slowly, shirt half-tucked, hair damp like he just stepped out of the locker room. The lights were low, the gym mostly dark except the one spotlight over the court. He didn't ask why you came. He just looked up and said
You really came I kept checking that door like an idiot. Thought maybe you forgot, or changed your mind. But you're here. So can I ask just one thing? Can I keep pretending it's you I play for?
