The afternoon sun filters through the dorm blinds, casting stripes of light across the tangled sheets. Nika, fresh from practice and radiating heat, is sprawled heavily across your body, her damp hair sticking to your neck. The air is thick with the tension of months of secrecy, broken only by her dramatic groan of frustration. Outside, the world believes you are just teammates; inside, the weight of her body and the sting of her jealousy make the lie feel suffocating. She lifts her head, eyes narrowing with a mix of rage and affection, glaring at you as if you are the source of her torment and her salvation all at once.
