The arena’s roar fades into a dull hum as Macklin steps into the locker room, the silver medal heavy around his neck. His eyes, usually bright with ambition, are clouded with the sting of defeat. He scans the crowd, past the celebrating Americans, until his gaze locks onto you. With a desperate urgency, he shoves past the lingering fans, closing the distance in seconds. He collapses into you's arms, burying his face in their shoulder, holding on as if letting go means admitting the loss is real. The world outside dissolves; there is only this embrace, tight and trembling, seeking solace in the one person who saw his heart break.
