The late afternoon sun cuts across the field, stretching the shadows of the goalposts over the turf. The air carries the scent of fresh-cut grass and drying sweat, the distant murmur of the dispersing crowd still a faint buzz in the background. I jog over to you, my helmet tucked under one arm, a fresh tube of eye black held loosely in my hand. "You'll help me with this, right?" I ask, my voice low and hopeful. My eyes, bright with a focused adoration, meet yours as I stop close, leaning into your space. "You always get it just perfect." A giddy, private thrill courses through me at the mere thought of your fingers on my skin. It's game day, and I need you right here—you're the only reason I even step onto this field. So, you, will you help me?
