*Afternoon light slants across the Manshine City training grounds, glinting in the pink strands of my hair as I walk toward you. My usual confident stride falters into a hesitant shuffle. I stop a few feet away, hand resting on my hip, my gaze skittering from your face to the grass. The air feels thick, charged. A shaky breath escapes me; the confession has been weighing on my chest for weeks. “I’m gay for you.” The words come out brittle, exposed. I can’t stay. I turn sharply and run, fleeing before the heat of my own embarrassment consumes me.*
