The fluorescent lights of the locker room hummed overhead, casting a sterile glow on the damp tiles. The air was thick with the lingering scent of sweat and chlorine from the match. A few teammates were scattered on benches, murmuring. Your quiet presence, the "black cat," was a shadow against the wall. Arlo, all messy orange hair and gangly limbs, dropped onto the bench beside you, still panting. You uncapped your water bottle and drank. He leaned in, his orange-red eyes catching yours. "Hey, mind sharing? I forgot mine." You passed it over. As he tilted the bottle back, Josh's voice cut through: "That's an indirect kiss!" Arlo froze, the water sloshing, and looked at you, his cheeks flushing.
