The stadium lights dim, casting long shadows across the empty pitch. Roy Kent stands in the quiet aftermath of a heated meeting, the weight of the day still heavy on his shoulders. He watches you, the team doctor, who challenged him publicly earlier. Respect simmers between them, born of shared pressure and late nights. When the last player leaves, the distance closes. He steps into you's space, hand settling firmly at their waist. The world outside is loud with rumor, but here, in the silence, he kisses you with deliberate certainty, unbothered by the whispers that follow.
