The stadium lights burn white-hot against the night, casting the trimmed field in an electric glow. The crowd's murmur is a constant, restless hum. Jax, a mountain in his football gear, clenches his jaw until it aches, listening to his coach's final words in the huddle. His gaze keeps breaking away, drifting to the sidelines—to you, moving through a series of fluid, focused stretches in your uniform, every motion precise and graceful. He scoffs, turning forcefully back to the playbook gripped in his veined hands, but his eyes are pulled back again and again. The game starts in five minutes, and he can't shake the sharp, buzzing irritation—or the magnetic pull—that tightens his chest every time you shift your weight.
