The early morning sunlight filtered through the gymnasium windows, casting long shadows across the polished hardwood floor. Paige Bueckers dribbled the basketball with practiced precision, her movements fluid and controlled. Each bounce echoed in the empty space, a rhythm that matched the beating of her anxious heart.
At twenty-two, Paige was no stranger to pressure. As a senior and star point guard for the university basketball team, she'd learned to channel her emotions into her game. But there was one pressure she couldn't seem to master β her feelings for a certain teamate.
Y/N was stretching at the far end of the court, her athletic frame moving with a grace that made Paige's breath catch. They'd been teammates and close friends since freshman year, a connection that ran deeper than just basketball. Paige had watched Y/N grow from a talented rookie to the team's leading scorer, admiring not just her athletic prowess, but her compassionate nature and infectious smile.
"Hey, you're here early," Y/N called out, walking towards Paige with a water bottle in hand.
Paige's heart raced. She'd perfected the art of hiding her true feelings over the years β a survival mechanism born from fear of rejection and the potential impact on their friendship. "Early bird gets the best practice time," she responded, her voice carefully controlled.
The truth was far more complicated. Each day, Paige wrestled with her emotions. Y/N was more than just a teammate or a friend. She was everything Paige had ever wanted β kind, supportive, intelligent, and breathtakingly beautiful. But the fear of losing their friendship always held her back.
As they warmed up together, Paige couldn't help but notice how perfectly they moved in sync. Their basketball chemistry was undeniable β a metaphor for the deeper connection she desperately wanted to explore. The campus buzzed with Y/N's popularity. She was the team's darling, loved by teammates and fans alike, with a charm that drew people to her naturally.
During a water break, Y/N sat next to Paige, their shoulders almost touching. "Big game coming up next week," she said, her voice soft and encouraging. "You've been working really hard."
Paige knew this was more than just a casual observation. Y/N had always been perceptive, always seeing beyond the surface. It was one of the many reasons Paige had fallen so deeply in love with her.
The university's athletic Gymnasium was a testament to competitive sports. Trophies lined the walls, photographs of past champions creating a backdrop of excellence. For Paige, it was both a dream and a pressure cooker. Her sexuality, her feelings for Y/N, her athletic performance β everything felt like it was hanging in a delicate balance.
As practice concluded, Paige made a decision. She couldn't continue like this β hiding, wondering, hoping. The uncertainty was consuming her. This was their senior year, potentially their last season together. Something had to change.
"Y/N," Paige said, her voice trembling slightly, "can we talk?"
Y/N turned, her dark eyes questioning. "Sure." she responded, a smile playing on her lips.
In that moment, Paige realized that taking a chance might be the most courageous thing she'd ever do. Not just as an athlete, but as a person discovering her true self. The basketball court had always been her safe space β now it was becoming the ground zero of her emotional revolution.
Paigeβs hands felt clammy despite the cool morning air circulating through the gym. She gripped the basketball a little tighter, trying to ground herself. Y/Nβs easygoing smile had always disarmed her, made her feel safeβbut also made her heart pound like she was in double overtime with seconds left on the clock.
Y/N nudged Paige with her shoulder. βWhatβs up?β
Paige exhaled, willing herself to stay composed. βI justβ¦ I wanted to talk to you about something. Something important.β
Y/Nβs brow furrowed slightly, but her expression remained open and attentive. βOf course. What is it?β
Paige hesitated. The words sat on the tip of her tongue, but fear kept them locked in place. She could make a move on the court without hesitation, but thisβthis was terrifying. What if it changed everything? What if she lost Y/Nβs friendship? What if it ruined their dynamic as teammates?
But what if she didnβt say anything at all? What if she let this moment slip away and regretted it for the rest of her life?
She licked her lips, forcing herself to push through the fear. βIββ
The gym doors creaked open, cutting her off. Coach Geno strode in, clipboard in hand, his usual no-nonsense demeanor in full force. βMorning, ladies. Hope youβre ready to put in some work.β
Paigeβs stomach twisted. The moment was lost.
Y/N shot her a look, a mixture of curiosity and concern in her eyes. βLetβs talk after practice, okay?β
Paige could only nod.
Practice was brutal, as expected. Full-court drills, defensive rotations, and high-intensity scrimmages had everyone drenched in sweat. Paige threw herself into the training, using it as an outlet to channel her emotions. She and Y/N played off each other seamlessly, their chemistry on full display. No-look passes, perfectly timed assistsοΏ½οΏ½it was almost as if they could read each otherβs minds.
By the time Coach blew the final whistle, Paigeβs legs felt like jelly, but her mind was clearer than before. She had to do this. No more running away from her feelings.
Y/N approached her at the water station, tossing Paige a fresh towel. βStill up for that talk?β
Paige wiped the sweat from her forehead, nodding. βYeah. Letβs go somewhere quiet.β
They walked side by side out of the gym, the early morning practice now giving way to the hustle and bustle of campus life. The air was thick with the scent of fresh-cut grass and the faint aroma of coffee from a nearby stand. Students hurried to class, their chatter blending into a familiar background hum. Some stopped to greet Y/N with high-fives and words of encouragement, their admiration clear in their voices. Paige had always admired how effortlessly Y/N fit in everywhere. She was magnetic, a natural leader on and off the court.
Despite the warmth of the morning sun, Paige felt a chill crawl up her spine. Her pulse quickened with every step as her mind raced ahead of her. This wasnβt just any conversationβthis was the kind of moment that could change everything.
They found a bench near the gym, slightly tucked away from the main walkway, shielded by the sprawling branches of an old oak tree. The shade offered a sense of privacy, though Paigeβs nerves still prickled. She took a deep breath, her hands gripping the edge of the seat. Her knees bounced slightly, the movement a quiet testament to her anxiety.
Y/N arched an eyebrow, leaning in slightly. βOkay,β she said, her tone light but laced with concern. βYouβre kind of freaking me out now. Whatβs going on?β
Paige let out a dry chuckle, shaking her head at herself. βSorry. I justβ¦ Iβve been holding this in for a long time.β
Y/Nβs expression softened, her eyes searching Paigeβs face. βPaige, whatever it is, you can tell me.β
The sincerity in Y/Nβs voice made Paigeβs throat tighten. She swallowed hard, feeling the weight of the moment pressing down on her. Her heart pounded so loudly she wondered if Y/N could hear it.
βItβs about us,β she finally said, her voice barely above a whisper.
Y/N blinked, her eyebrows lifting slightly. βUs?β
Paige nodded, her fingers fiddling with the hem of her practice shorts. She forced herself to meet Y/Nβs gaze, terrified and relieved all at once. βI donβt know how to say this without making things weird, butβI like you, Y/N. More than just a friend. More than just a teammate.β
The words were out, and Paige felt like she had just taken the most important shot of her life. The silence that followed was unbearable. The world around them seemed to fade into a dull blurβstudents walking past, birds chirping overhead, the distant whistle of a coach calling out instructions on the field. None of it mattered. All that mattered was Y/N and whatever she was going to say next.
Y/Nβs lips parted slightly, as if forming a response, but no words came out immediately. Paigeβs stomach twisted, the fear creeping back in. What if this ruined everything? What ifβ
βIβ¦ I didnβt know you felt that way,β Y/N finally said, her voice softer than before.
Paige looked down, nodding slowly. βIβve been scared to tell you. I didnβt want to mess up our friendship or the team dynamic, butβ¦ I couldnβt keep pretending.β
Y/N was quiet for a moment before she let out a small, breathy laugh. βWow.β
Paigeβs stomach flipped. βWow good or wow bad?β
Y/N turned to face her fully, her dark eyes filled with something Paige couldnβt quite decipher. The sun cast a golden glow around her, highlighting the soft curve of her smile as she exhaled a quiet chuckle. βWow, to think I thought it was unrequited. I feel the same way too, dummy.β
Paigeβs breath hitched. βYou do?β
Y/N smiled, a little shy, a little unsure. βIβve never really thought about it before, but now that youβve said itβ¦ well, Iβm glad you did.β
Paigeβs chest swelled with something newβhope. The tension in her shoulders melted away, replaced by a warmth that spread from her heart outward.
βSoβ¦ what do we do now?β Paige asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
Y/N reached for her hand, intertwining their fingers with an ease that sent a shiver down Paigeβs spine. βWe take it one step at a time. Together.β
Paige let out a breath she didnβt realize she was holding, a genuine smile breaking across her face. Maybe, just maybe, this was the start of something incredible.

Paige Bueckers didnβt think of herself as the jealous type.
She wasnβt. At least, thatβs what she told herself every time she saw Y/N laughing a little bit too hard at something Caitlin Clark said, Y/Nβs hand resting on Caitlinβs arm like it was the most natural thing in the world. It shouldnβt have bothered her. Y/N was friendly. Thatβs just how she was. And Caitlin? She was the same wayβloud, charismatic, magnetic. It made sense that Y/N would be drawn to her. Everyone was.
But that didnβt make it any easier to watch.
It started as a quiet, nagging feeling. A twist in Paigeβs stomach when she saw the way Caitlin casually slung an arm over Y/Nβs shoulder after a game between Uconn and Iowa. A twinge in her chest when Y/N reposted another one of Caitlinβs ridiculous Instagram stories, her responses filled with inside jokes that Paige wasnβt a part of.
Then it got worse.
She noticed the way Y/N stayed up late Face Timing Caitlin after games, her soft laughter filtering through the walls. She caught the way Caitlin looked at Y/Nβlike she was her favorite person in the roomβand Paige hated how much she understood that feeling.
Because Y/N was her favorite person in the room.
And yet, somehow, she was never Y/Nβs.
At least, thatβs how it felt.
Paige tried to push it down, to remind herself that she had no right to be jealous. They werenβt dating. They were best friendsβhad been since their high school days in Hopkins. She had no claim over Y/N, no right to feel this way, but every time Caitlin made Y/N smile, it felt like something sharp was lodged in Paigeβs ribs, like she was suffocating on words sheβd never been brave enough to say.
She started to withdraw, her usual lively energy fading into something muted. On the court, she was all business, hyper-focused and distant. Off the court, she was even worse, skipping out on team hangouts after a good win, and turning down Y/Nβs offers to study together. She didnβt want to admit why, but the truth clawed at her every time she saw Caitlinβs name light up Y/Nβs phone screen. It was making her crazy.
βPaige, are you okay?β
Y/Nβs voice pulled her out of her thoughts, and Paige blinked, realizing she had been absentmindedly staring at her across the gym. Y/Nβs brows were furrowed, concern evident in her eyes as she stepped closer to Paige.
Paige swallowed hard. βYeah, Iβm good.β
Y/N didnβt look convinced. βYou sure? Youβve been kind of off quiet lately.β
Paige forced a tight-lipped smile. βJust tired. Long practice.β
Y/N studied her for a moment longer with a slight frown before nodding. βOkay. Well, Caitlin and I are going to grab food after thisβwanna come?β
There it was again. Caitlin and I.
Paige should have just said no. Should have made up an excuse. But instead, she found herself nodding, because the thought of leaving Y/N alone with Caitlin made her stomach churn even worse.

Dinner was torture. Paige sat stiffly across from Y/N and Caitlin, barely eating, barely speaking, a pizza laying limply in her hands. She watched as Caitlin leaned in to whisper something in Y/Nβs ear, making her laugh softly. That same laugh that used to be just for Paige. It burned. Jealousy starting to fill her.
Caitlin was always charming, and maybe that was the worst partβshe wasnβt doing anything wrong. She was just being herself. And Y/N wasnβt doing anything wrong, either. She was just being her. And it made Paige feel bad because she Y/N was being friendly. Thatβs just how she is.
βOh shit, itβs getting late. I should get going.β Caitlin said standing while looking down at her watch.
Y/N stood up from her seat alongside Paige, βYeah us too, Geno might chew us at practice if we're late,β Both Caitlin and Y/N chuckled while Paige looked with a blank expression, her tongue poking her right cheek.
βThanks for the catch-up Cait.β Y/N added looking at Caitlin with a smile.
βIt was also good catching up with you Y/N, god knows when will be our next.β Caitlin chortled.
βRight, well see you, Cait. I had fun tonight.β
βMe too, see you both around.β Caitlin replied nodding to Y/N and Paige. Y/N waved goodbye while Paige remained standoffish causing Caitlin to look confused at Paigeβs behavior.
After dinner, Y/N walked beside Paige, a lingering concern in her eyes. βAre you sure youβre okay?β she asked noticing Paigeβs behavior was off the entire night.
Paige exhaled sharply, stopping in her tracks. βNo. Iβm not.β
Y/N frowned. βPaigeββ
βI canβt do this,β Paige blurted out, eyes shining with frustration. βI canβt sit there and watch you with her like it doesnβt kill me.β
Y/Nβs mouth parted slightly, shock flashing across her face. βPaigeβ¦β
Paige looked away and ran a hand through her hair, inhaling sharply. βI know weβre just friends. I know I donβt have the right to feel this way, but I do. I like you. More than I should.β
Silence stretched between them, heavy and uncertain. Then, slowly, Y/N reached out, taking Paigeβs hand in hers, interlocking them.
βYou shouldβve told me sooner,β Y/N murmured, squeezing gently.
Paigeβs breath hitched. βYou do?β
Y/N nodded, smiling softly. βYeah. But I didnβt want to ruin what we had. I was scared.β
Relief flooded Paigeβs system, and for the first time in weeks, the tightness in her chest eased. She let out a shaky laugh, squeezing Y/Nβs hand back. βGuess weβre both kind of dumb, huh?β
Y/N chuckled and shook her head slowly. βYeah. But at least now we know.β
Paigeβs heart raced as Y/N gently tugged her forward, their steps in sync as they walked back towards to their dorm. The night air was crisp, the sky a deep shade of indigo. It felt like a fresh start, like a weight had been lifted off both of their shoulders.
βSoβ¦ what happens now?β Paige asked, her voice soft, unsure.
Y/N squeezed her hand, fingers lacing with hers. βWell, we could start by going on an actual date.β
Paige felt a warmth spread through her chest, a rare, giddy smile pulling at her lips. βIβd like that.β
βGood,β Y/N said, bumping her shoulder lightly. βBecause I donβt think Caitlin wouldβve been a great girlfriend anyway. No offense.β
Paige threw her head back in laughter, shaking her head. βYeah, probably not.β
The two of them walked on, hand in hand, the tension and uncertainty of the past few weeks fading into something softer, something new.

Later that night, Paige lay in bed, staring at her phone screen. She hovered over Caitlinβs contact, debating whether to say something. Eventually, she just sent a simple message.
Thanks for being cool.
Caitlinβs response came almost instantly.
Took you long enough. Donβt mess it up.
Paige let out a small laugh, setting her phone aside before rolling over, and staring at the ceiling. Maybe sheβd been jealous, maybe sheβd been petty, but in the end, it led her hereβwith Y/N, finally, at her side. And that? That made everything worth it.
