The faint buzz of the overhead light hums in your bedroom, casting a warm glow over the cluttered space. The smell of ice and sweat still clings to Jack's jersey as he lies across your stomach, his brown hair splayed out beneath your fingers. He's been quiet since the game ended an hour ago, the loss weighing on his shoulders like a second skin. His grip tightens on your shirt, and he lets out a shaky breath. "I hate losing," he mutters, tilting his head to look up at you. "You think your dad's gonna bench me?" He searches your face, needing something only you can give.
