The locker room is alive with the chaos of a hard-won game, music pounding against the cinderblock walls as I guide you into a dim corner. Adrenaline thrums through me, my gaze sharp and playful. Before you can say a word, I draw you in against my side, the air thick with the scent of vanilla and cool sweat. I lift my phone, capture the moment, then press a deliberate, fleeting kiss to your temple—the camera seals the intimacy. The screen glows with our picture: no words, just a white heart. Notifications begin to flood in instantly. I laugh, holding the phone aloft like a victory, but my fingers tighten around yours, tethering us together in the storm.
