i write this sat in my sister's room forcing my music taste on her :)

———————————

C/N hadn't been in classes all day, because his team had been preparing for the finals of the annual school basketball tournament. Plus, they had to leave before school finished to get there in time, since the teams had to be there half an hour earlier. The point being that Y/N hadn't seen her beloved boyfriend all day long, and was anxiously awaiting the bell so she could get to his game as soon as possible. This was the first time in years their school had gotten to the finals, and maybe it was the fact that C/N had become the captain of the team that did it. Her heart swelled with pride just thinking about it.

The second she was dismissed from last period, Y/N bolted out her seat and to outside where her generous cousin was waiting in the car park to drive her to the game. After amounts of begging, the older person had agreed to take her there. They did have a soft spot for C/N and Y/N's adorable relationship, after all.

It was forty minute journey, spent with music being blast to distract Y/N from the fact they may be a little late. They were, as it turned out, but only just. She still managed to get a seat close to the front alongside her cousin. C/N spotted her quickly and gave her a heartwarming smile before turning back to the game immediately. Y/N didn't mind, of course he had to focus on playing.

She watched with pride as he caught the ball, dribbled it, passed it, and shot it time and time again. She could do such things herself, but not nearly as well.

When halftime came around, the scores were at a tie, and C/N came to the side visibly exhausted. Y/N ran around to the entrance to the court floor, watching happily as he approached her with a towel around his neck. "I'm so glad you made it," were the first words he said, making her dart into his chest to hug him. "Hey! Careful, I'm sweaty and stinky."

She giggled, "I wish I could play as well as you! You're so cool."

He felt his stomach fill with butterflies at the thought of her finding him cool; it took everything inside of him not to passionately kiss her there and then. However, he made do with a quick peck and said, "Thank you, baby, but I've got to discuss strategies with the team. Talk with you after, yeah?"

Y/N nodded, "Of course! I understand, wishing you luck!"

They were yet to tell each other they loved them, as they had only been together for two months. Not that that hadn't been prefaced with weeks and weeks of obliviously pining after one another, of course.

Sitting back down, she chatted with her cousin until the whistle signifying the beginning of the second half sounded. At that point, Y/N fixed her attention back on to her boyfriend. Part of her couldn't help but feel lucky that she was the one who got this man. There was no denying he was attractive, and obviously very skilled in the art of basketball. She knew she wasn't the only one who crushed on him.

But... she was the one who got him.

Just as those thoughts ticked through her head, she watched as one of the more aggressive members of the other team - in a fit of rage - sided into C/N. His elbow hit the captain right in the sensitive spot beneath the ribs and above the muscle, causing him to lose his balance and step backwards slightly. He didn't fall, but he did immediately hunch over in pain, causing the referee to blow the whistle. The offender was made to leave the court, and C/N made the decision to switch himself off. Y/N watched as he started arguing the coach, but couldn't hear what was being said.

It was a bold move, but she decided to go down, because C/N was still visibly in a lot of pain. No one paid any mind as she went over to him, and said to the coach, "What's going on?"

"Your boyfriend here thinks he's fine and just needs a few minutes' rest."

"Oh?" she looked at the boy with a raised eyebrow and a smirk.

"Yes. Look, I know it hurts more than you're letting on, just go to the nurse's office and get some painkillers- but don't even think about going back on today."

"But, coa-"

"You heard what he said, C/N," Y/N cut him off, "Come with me."

"But-"

"No buts." She grabbed his hand and pulled him over to the exit, and while they both knew he could easily have resisted, he did not.

When they reached the nurse's office, the nurse administered painkillers and made him perch on one of the beds, letting Y/N sit beside him. "I'm sure I'm fine to go back on."

"No."

"Seriously, I'm fine-"

"Stop lying," Y/N snapped, "I don't want you getting hurt so much you can't play again next year."

He went silent, before mumbling a quiet, "Okay."

"It's not just that, I just- I just don't like seeing you hurt, 'caus, well... you know- I- I love you..."

His hand slipped over hers, "I love you too... and I'm sorry for being so desperate to go back on, it's just- you know- I'm the team captain! I have to be there for the team."

"Better being away temporarily than risk being away permanently."

"I know, as usual, you're right," he sighed, "Fuck, I love you. Why haven't we told each other that before?"

Y/N shrugged, "Doesn't matter, we have now."

"And I'll tell you every day," he added.

And, well, C/N's team did fine without him, successfully winning the tournament and bringing home a trophy to the school. He recovered quickly, too, and stuck to his word of telling Y/N he loved her each and every day.

Because he did love her each and every day.
