Maybe I’m delusional but I could actually see them being together

[fanficsofuconnswbb]

domestic chaos

Description: KK9 and Pazzi spend a chaotic day together that spirals into grocery store disasters, rainy-day lounging, and a blind, deaf, mute cooking challenge that completely collapses into chaos, laughter, and something that still somehow feels like home.

It starts with a phone being set up on the kitchen counter.

Paige adjusts the angle carefully like she’s directing a documentary.

“Okay,” she says, stepping back. “We’re rolling.”

Azzi immediately crosses her arms.

“I still don’t understand why we’re doing this.”

KK is already smiling. “Because it’s fun.”

Kayleigh leans in slightly. “It’s not going to be fun.”

Paige points dramatically. “It’s going to be content.”

Azzi looks into the camera like she’s asking for help.

No one helps her.

Rules are explained again, even though nobody is really listening.

Blindfold means no sight.

Headphones means no hearing.

Mute means no talking.

Paige claps once.

“Let’s cook.”

Azzi immediately signs something aggressive.

Paige nods like she understood perfectly.

She did not.

They split into teams.

KK is blindfolded.

Kayleigh is mute.

Paige is wearing headphones.

Azzi is stuck watching everything unfold.

She already regrets existing in this moment.

KK reaches forward blindly.

“Okay I got this,” she says confidently.

Kayleigh gently guides her hand toward the counter.

KK nods like she is a professional chef.

She is not.

She grabs flour.

Kayleigh freezes.

Too late.

A full cloud explodes into the air.

Paige silently laughs while shaking the camera.

Azzi closes her eyes and tilts her head back like she is praying.

Kayleigh tries to communicate without speaking.

She grabs KK’s wrist and pulls her hand away from the stove.

KK thinks this is encouragement.

It is not.

She pours salt instead of sugar.

Kayleigh just stares at her.

No words.

Because she literally cannot speak.

So instead she lightly hits KK’s arm.

KK smiles like she is winning.

She is not.

Across the kitchen, Paige is aggressively confident.

She cannot hear anything but is loudly talking anyway.

“I AM DOING AMAZING.”

Azzi is trying to physically stop her from adding something questionable into a pan.

Paige ignores her entirely.

The pan starts smoking.

Azzi stares.

This is her villain origin story.

KK suddenly whispers, “I think we’re crushing this.”

Kayleigh slowly turns her head toward her.

She cannot respond.

So she squeezes KK’s hand instead.

KK smiles like that means everything.

Paige suddenly announces, “I WAS BORN FOR THIS.”

Azzi signs something that definitely means “please stop.”

Paige nods enthusiastically.

Then immediately cracks an egg into boiling water.

Azzi just stops moving for a second.

Mentally gone.

Halfway through, the kitchen is completely destroyed.

Flour everywhere.

Spoons missing.

Something burning.

Someone’s dignity also missing.

KK is still smiling.

Kayleigh is still trying.

Paige is still filming.

Azzi is still suffering.

At one point KK leans closer to Kayleigh.

Still blindfolded.

Still trusting her completely.

“This is kind of fun,” she says softly.

Kayleigh pauses.

Looks at her.

She cannot speak.

So she gently squeezes KK’s hand again.

KK smiles like that answers everything.

Eventually, the final “dish” is placed on the counter.

Nobody is confident.

Paige removes her headphones first.

Silence.

“…what did we do,” she says immediately.

Azzi signs something that translates to “never again.”

KK removes her blindfold.

Looks at the disaster.

Smiles.

“I think we did great.”

Kayleigh slowly shakes her head.

Paige is already laughing.

Azzi points at the burnt pan like it personally offended her.

“I’m ordering food.”

Everyone agrees instantly.

Later, the house is quiet.

Rain hitting the windows softly.

Blankets everywhere.

The kitchen still looks like chaos left behind and never returned.

KK leans into Kayleigh on the couch.

Still laughing quietly.

“That was fun,” she says again.

Kayleigh nudges her shoulder.

“Liar.”

KK grins.

“Okay… mostly fun.”

Paige is editing the video in the corner.

Azzi is half asleep, finally at peace.

Paige suddenly says, “This is going viral.”

Azzi doesn’t open her eyes.

“No.”

Paige: “Yes.”

KK shifts slightly, resting her head on Kayleigh’s shoulder.

Quiet now.

Soft.

“Feels like home,” KK murmurs.

Kayleigh looks down at her.

Then nods.

“Yeah.”

Paige glances over for a second.

“Yeah… same,” she says quietly.

Azzi mutters without opening her eyes, “If that gets posted I’m moving out.”

Paige smiles.

“So yes.”

i hate to spread misinformation but k9’s birthday post for kk is giving me serious pazzi trenches flashbacks

KK9 - Come Home to Me pt 2

KK and Kayleigh have been dancing around each other for what feels like forever. Kayleigh is just a sweet girl who’s been going through some things and maybe loves her best friend a little more than she realizes. KK knows she’s down bad, more than what’s considered normal, but she just can’t help herself to do anything and everything for her best friend, no matter how extreme. So when Kayleigh calls her in the middle of the night crying, she doesn’t even think before making sure that Kayleigh feels better, even if that means spending an exorbitant amount of money and maybe confessing her feelings in the process.

Three months later, Night before Elite Eight UCONN vs USC

USC had gotten to the hotel that morning so Kayleigh and Kiki were already settled in their room for the night by the time UCONN arrived and got done with their practice.

“Are you going to see her tonight?” Kiki said from her bed

“Probably not,” Kayleigh replied. “I don’t want to mess anything up before the game.”

Kiki just hummed noncommittedly.

A little while later, Kayleigh was curled into bed watching a movie, arm wrapped around the sloth stuffed animal KK had given her when there was a knock on the door. 

“I’ll get it.” Kayleigh said to a slumped Kiki. She slowly got up out of bed to see who it was, expecting one of her teammates. Instead, when she looked through the peephole she saw KK standing there.

“KK?” She threw open the door. “What are you doing here?”

“I wanted to see you before we played tomorrow. Can I come in?”

“Yes of course.” Kayleigh opened the door wider for the older girl. KK came in, nodded to Kiki, who was hiding her smile behind her phone, and put the two pairs of shoes that were in her arms on the desk. Kayleigh had been so shocked by KK’s presence, she hadn’t even noticed anything in KK’s arms. 

KK turned around and looked at the younger girl standing in front of her bed. 

“So. I know we’re not doing labels or anything, and I don’t want to change that,” she held out her hands in a bracing manner, “but I also know that I love you and I want to carry you with me into every part of the end of this season and whatever comes next. And I’m sorry that we couldn’t see each other sooner, so I have to do this the night before we play each other but,” she paused, taking her first breath since starting, “I just wanted some time with you…and maybe…this is stupid,” KK groaned, blushing.

Kayleigh smiled softly, stepping forward and taking KK’s hands in hers. “It’s not stupid, I missed you.”

“Would you maybe want to…Whatever happens tomorrow, I’ll always support you, would you sign my shoes? So whatever happens tomorrow, whatever happens next week, whatever, you’ll always be with me. Always be a part of me? A part of my history?”

Kayleigh chuckled into KK’s neck, “you’re such a sap,” she pressed a kiss to the corner of KK’s jaw. “Yes, I'll sign your shoes.” 

“Really?” KK’s eyes lit up in excitement, looking at the younger girl. 

Kayleigh pressed a kiss to KK’s cheek, before pulling away. “How long do you have?”

KK sheepishly rubbed her neck, “we already did room checks so I might have slipped out, but I promised Ice I’d be back before the end of the night.”

Kayleigh glanced at the clock as she moved towards the bed, “it’s only 10:45, how early do you guys do checks?”

“Night before a game? 10. Night after a game? 12.”

“Sheesh,” Kayleigh said, laying on top of her bed, an extra blanket laid out in front of her. “Bring your shoes and come cuddle with me until we have to hide you at 11:30.”

KK blushed as she picked up her shoes and made her way towards the bed. Kayleigh scooted over to make room and patted the extra blanket to indicate where the shoes go. KK set the shoes and the thin tipped Sharpie marker on the blanket before she sat down and essentially pulled the younger girl into her lap.

“Hi,” Kayleigh looked shyly down at KK.

“Hi.” KK pressed a kiss to Kayleigh’s cheek.

“Where do you want me to sign?”

“Wherever you want, baby.”

Kayleigh took the right shoe of the first pair and turned it over in her hands, looking for the perfect spot. A faint blush tinged her cheeks from KK’s soft breaths and even softer kisses brushing the hairs on the back of her neck. Finally, she wrote “KH ♡” on the inside of the arch, just barely big enough to know that it wasn’t a speck of dirt, but still small enough to not notice it. Carefully, as if it was fragile, she set the shoe down and grabbed the right foot of the second pair, repeating her inscription from earlier. 

“There you go,” the younger girl leaned back into her friend. “I will always be with you.”

“Thank you Kay.”

Kayleigh blushed, “Always.”

They laid together in silence for a while, each in their own thoughts. 

“I don’t want to play after tomorrow.” Kayleigh whispered softly.

KK rubbed her thumbs in soft circles from where they were resting around Kayleigh’s middle. “Yeah?” she whispered back, encouraging the girl to elaborate.

“Yeah. I wanted to make it far enough to see you again. And obviously, I wanted to make it far for Kiki. But I don’t want to play after tomorrow. I’m too tired...I feel better knowing tomorrow is the last day I play for USC.”

“Mmmm,” KK hummed in acknowledgement. “I’m glad we could see each other too. Is there anything else I can do for you?”

Kayleigh hummed happily as she snuggled back into KK, nuzzling her nose into the older girl’s neck. “No you’re perfect.”

Be my girlfriend, she thought. Not for the first time. Not by a long shot. But this time felt different. The statement felt warm. Steady. Comforting. Not the scared uncertainty it had been in the past. 

“Actually…”

KK perked up, “yeah baby?”

Kayleigh shifted sideways, so she was able to look KK in the face, “Be my girlfriend?”

KK’s face changed into a look of open surprise, totally unguarded. “Forreal?”

“100%. I want to be yours, and I want you to be mine.”

The older girl’s face broke into the widest smile. “Yes. Yes! A thousand times yes! I love you,” she surged forward, peppering kisses all over Kayleigh’s face, making her giggle, before landing sloppily on the younger girl’s mouth. 

Kayleigh’s giggles forced them apart after a few moments. “I love you too.” 

They rest their foreheads together, soaking in the moment. Suddenly Kayleigh’s phone goes off with an alarm, startling them apart. 

“Ughhhh,” Kayleigh groans, turning off the alarm. “It’s my 5 minute reminder before room checks.”

“That’s ok. I should get back anyway.” KK looks at the girl with pure adoration across her face.

“You sure you don’t want to stay?”

“Nah. We both need sleep, baby.” KK reached up and brushed a curl behind Kayleigh’s ear before leaning in and pressing a kiss to the younger girl’s cheek.

Kayleigh giggled, leaning in to the older girl. “Ok but lemme at least walk you back.”

“Hate to break it to you Kay, but we only have four minutes and I’m staying two floors above you. I don’t know that we have enough time.”

Kayleigh jutted her bottom lip in an overexaggerated pout, wrapping her arms around her girlfriend’s (eek!) neck. 

KK smiled, pressing another kiss to Kayleigh’s lips.

“C’mon, baby. Lemme get up. We’re going to see each other tomorrow.”

“Yeah, on the court,” Kayleigh said snarkily. “Forgive me for wanting to soak in every last moment with my girlfriend before we go back to being athletes.”

At the sound of ‘girlfriend’ KK’s face broke into a wide grin. “We already have plans to see each other after the game–”

“We do?”

“Yes, just trust me. Anyway, I’ll figure it out to see you before the game.” 

Slowly, Kayleigh slid off KK’s lap and got up off the bed. KK stood, walked past Kayleigh to put her shoes on the desk, before returning to the younger girl. 

She took Kayleigh’s hands in each of her own and brown met brown as they looked at each other with pure openness. 

“I love you.” Kayleigh murmured. 

“I love you too.” KK smiled back. She tugged on one of Kayleigh’s arms, pulling her into a hug. Kayleigh nuzzled into the older girl’s neck as KK wrapped her arms securely around her. 

“Tomorrow is the last day you ever have to spend time with them. I promise. I’ll take care of you.”

‧⋆ ✧˚₊‧⋆. ✧˚₊‧⋆

They ended up not being able to see each other at all before their teams had to head to the center. KK tried so hard to sneak away at times for find random rendezvous points, but it just didn’t happen. It was especially hard since no one but Kiki knew that they were together, and only Kiki and the coaching staff knew she was leaving for UCONN. The team thought that Kayleigh’s random trip in December was for a family emergency in New York. 

It goes without saying that KK could not be seen with Kayleigh and Kayleigh couldn’t even talk about UCONN. 

USC had just come off the court from shootaround, allowing for UCONN to have the court. Kayleigh hung off to the side, not really joining the rest of the team. She had been distancing herself even further from the team since the UCONN trip, so nobody noticed when she didn’t enter the locker room with everyone else. (She told Kiki that if anyone asked, she was with her mom.)

Quietly, she snuck back onto the court and stood beside CD, slightly scaring the poor coach. 

“Hey CD. Sorry to bother, can I borrow KK for two seconds?”

Softening from her startled state, CD said, “Of course, baby. Just don’t scare me like that again.” Kayleigh chuckled.

See here’s the thing with CD. Even though she’s happily married to her husband, there was once a time where she had her very own KK in college. The girl’s name was Sadie and she was a year older with the same spunky fiery spirit but could also be the kindest, softest girl when she wanted to be, just like KK. Even though they never worked out, Chris looks back on that time period fondly, reminiscing on what they had and what they could’ve been. She hopes to protect KK and Kayleigh, and even Paige and Azzi, let them enjoy their college years together, but also shape them into great athletes and even better people. 

The associate coach whistled and called over KK. 

“Hey baby, is everything ok?” KK pulled the younger girl into her arms, not even caring that they were in front of everyone. 

“Yes, I just wanted to see you,” Kayleigh murmured into KK’s neck. 

KK squeezed her tighter. “I love you so much baby. You’re going to do so good. I can’t wait to see you after.”

“I love you too. You’re going to play even better. You promise to see me after?”

“I promise.”

“KK” one of the assistant coaches called softly. 

“I have to go but I love you.”

“I love you too.” They pulled apart and KK kissed the younger girl on the cheek before she ran back onto the court, dapping up Paige as she went. Azzi and Ayanna waved kindly, but genuinely glad to see her. 

“Kayleigh, before you go listen to me,” CD called out to her. “Considering the circumstances, we have it worked out so you can stay with us until we’re done. After that, we’re prepared to move you to Connecticut, if that’s something you’re ready for. If not, that’s totally ok, take it at your own speed. Talk to your parents. UCONN supports you.”

Kayleigh was taken aback. She had no idea this was coming. She found KK on the court, her girlfriend winked at her. “Thank you. Seriously, thank you. I don’t know what to say.”

“Don’t worry about it. We’ve got your back.” CD pulled her into a side hug. “After the game, meet us at the hotel, you’re welcome at dinner if you want. I don’t mean to overwhelm you but think about it.”

Geno joined at CD’s side, “You’re a good kid Heckel. We don’t know everything, but we know enough. You’re going through stuff that you shouldn’t have to. CD and I have both been there, CD especially. We’re here to help you and keep you safe. We’ve also already reached out to your parents, so they’re aware.”

Kayleigh felt overwhelmed with gratitude, tears rose to her eyes. “Thank you guys so much. Like seriously, beyond words. Thank you.”

“Absolutely.” CD said. 

“Anytime, kid,” Geno patted her shoulder before turning back to his team.

Kayleigh turned and ran down the tunnel back to USC, tears in her eyes.

Kiki noticed immediately, “What’s wrong bug? You took longer than expected.”

Kayleigh shook her head with a smile. “Don’t worry about it. I’ll tell you later.”

She then sat on the bench and took out her phone, first texting her mom, then Kiki.

“Listen up girls!” USC head coach shouted above the loud locker room. Kayleigh put her phone away and focused on the game ahead. 

‧⋆ ✧˚₊‧⋆. ✧˚₊‧⋆

USC lost, like Kayleigh hoped, Juju tore her ACL, which everyone was sad for. Kayleigh hated the girl but still, she wouldn’t wish that on anyone. As quickly as possible, she cleaned up everything, checked out with her coaches, and made it to UCONN’s floor.

She wanted to seem as inconspicuous as possible, so she changed into one of KK’s hoodies she always carries around and regular black Nike sweatpants. KK was there waiting in the hallway when Kayleigh stepped out of the elevator. 

“Hey”, she said, alerting the older girl, “I didn’t know you were waiting for me, I’m sorry I would’ve told you.”

“It’s ok. I wanted to surprise you anyway.”

CD came out from her room. “Good! You made it! Are you ok to room with KK and Ice for now?”

“Yes of course. And thank you for the dinner invitation but I’m going to eat with my parents and talk everything over.”

KK squeezed her hand. 

“Alright! Then you’re good with me. I’m sure KK and Ice can fill you in on the rules and holler if you need anything.”

“Thank you so much again.”

CD smiled and turned back into her room. KK tugged gently on Kayleigh’s hand and pulled her toward her and Ice’s room. 

Inside the hotel room was Ice and Jana on one bed, Paige and Azzi on another bed, Ayanna on the chair, Aubrey on the floor, and Sarah sitting cross-legged on the dresser. 

KK and Kayleigh stood awkwardly at the entrance. 

“Guys!” KK announced, catching the attention of everyone in the room. And then she turned to Kayleigh, her face in a mischievous grin. 

Kayleigh’s shoulders slumped with faux fear, “Oh no…”

KK held up their joined hands, “meet my girlfriend, Kayleigh Heckel!”

The room erupted in whoops and cheers. Kayleigh facepalmed. KK kissed her cheek.

“Sorry, Kay, I had to.” Kayleigh just giggled in response.

KK took Kayleigh’s luggage and set it next to her own as the room quieted down. Paige spoke up gently, with a slight big sister tease in her voice. “I made sure the couch stayed empty for you guys. Just keep it PG.” the older girl winked. Azzi smiled from where she was cuddled into Paige’s chest.

KK rolled her eyes. “Oh right, PG. Just like how I can see your girlfriend’s hand is on your boob through your shirt? That PG?” KK teased back.

Azzi blushed and went to remove her hand before Paige stopped her. “Go away,” the blonde said with a shit-eating grin and an eyeroll. 

Kayleigh tugged her girlfriend across the room and to the couch, but then stopped, unsure of what to do or how to act. 

KK ran her fingers over the back of Kayleigh’s hand. “It’s ok,” she whispered. “Paige didn’t really mean it.” 

Kayleigh nodded self-consciously. “C’mere,” KK said, laying flat out on the couch and guiding Kayleigh to cuddle on top of her. “It’s a little small and hard but it’s alright.”

Kayleigh melted into her girlfriend’s body, humming peacefully. The room quieted as each person settled into their own thing. KK and Kayleigh dozed peacefully, as did Azzi from Paige’s side. Ice and Jana shared tiktoks back and forth between each other, while Sarah called her mom quietly. Aubrey was texting her girlfriend Jane while working on some homework. Paige was also answering emails and Ayanna slept unpeacefully from her chair. At one point, the girl snored so hard she woke herself up, causing Sarah and Paige to softly giggle at her.

Their world was peaceful for the moment, and everyone was alright. 

After dinner Kayleigh told her parents to meet her in the lobby of the team hotel before they returned to their own hotels. 

She and KK stepped off the team bus hand in hand with the rest of the team as they filtered through the lobby doors. She gave a slight tug on KK’s hand. 

“Come with me for a sec, I want you to officially meet my parents.” Kayleigh smiled shyly at KK. 

KK smiled back. “They already know me.”

“I know. But I want to do the whole thing.”

Quietly, they approached where Kayleigh’s parents were sitting. “Hey guys,” she said. 

Her mom looked up with gentleness and her dad just looked confused. “I know you guys already know KK,” she started, “but I wanted you guys to meet her as my official girlfriend.” Kayleigh smiled wide, albeit a little nervous. KK looked very nervous. 

Kayleigh’s mom stood, “Thank you for telling us. Welcome to the family, officially, KK.” And she wrapped KK up in a big hug. Kayleigh’s dad gave his daughter a side hug, “she’s the one who’s been taking care of you, hasn’t she?” 

Kayleigh nodded. Her dad met KK’s eyes, “well as long as she never stops, and you take care of her back, I’m happy for you.” He shook hands with KK as Kayleigh’s mom looked at her daughter. 

“And I’m sorry we didn’t listen the first time you said something was off. I’m glad KK was there to hold you when we weren't.”

Kayleigh’s eyes shone. “It’s ok mom. I’m good now.” KK relaced their fingers and squeezed in support. 

“So I guess I need to buy some UCONN merch then, huh?” Kayleigh’s dad joked, eliciting some giggles out of the girls. 

“Be good going to bed now,” her mom winked, “and be safe for the rest of the season. We’re always here.”

“And good luck,” her dad added at KK, “we’re rooting for your natty this year.”

“Thanks guys, it means a lot.” KK said. 

Kayleigh nodded, hugging her dad again, “thank you guys. I’ll call you later.” 

“Ok baby.” 

And with that, the girls turned to go up the elevator. 

Even though lights out wasn’t until 12, everyone was already in their rooms and ready for bed after the exhausting day, plus they were leaving the hotel early the following morning. 

“Even though we won, y’all really put us to work. My body hurtssss,” KK complained into Kayleigh’s shoulder as they stood side-by-side in the bathroom getting ready for bed. Kayleigh, with her toothbrush still in her mouth, patted KK’s cheek sympathetically . 

Together, they brushed their teeth, got changed, and crawled into bed. From the other side of the room, Ice called, “goodnight lovebirds! Don't have sex!”

KK halfheartedly threw an empty plastic water bottle, “goodnight Isuneh.”

Kayleigh giggled, “goodnight Ice.”

KK lay flat on her back as Kayleigh curled into her side, just like they did a few months ago and Kayleigh finally let everything settle. Her shoulders dropped, her brain slowed, her heart felt content. She didn’t even realize she was crying until KK brushed her tears from her cheeks and softly asked, “you ok?”

Kayleigh smiled and nodded and snuggled closer into KK. “Yes, sorry, I didn’t even realize I was crying.”

“You’re ok boo, no reason to apologize. What’s on your mind?”

“I feel…safe. I’m not returning to USC, all my classes are online. I’m not worried about any of them anymore. I’m with you. And you’re my girlfriend. And I feel peaceful.”

“That’s what you deserve. You’re free and you’re safe. With me.”

“Always with you,” Kayleigh echoed and kissed her cheek. 

“Let’s go to sleep,” KK shifted to her side so Kayleigh was still cuddled around her but they were now facing each other. She brought the hand that was around Kayleigh’s lower waist up to brush Kayleigh’s curls. With KK’s new position, the younger girl could pull herself entirely into KK, essentially molding them together. 

Kayleigh hummed with peaceful happiness. “Tomorrow, you go onto the next thing as you go and get your natty, and I’m going to be next to you the whole time. I can cuddle you on the bus, I can bring you hugs and snacks in the locker rooms, I can sleep on you on the planes, and I can live with you in the hotel rooms. And when it’s all done, I get to come home to you as my teammate.”

It was KK’s turn to humm happily. “Tonight, can this be our home and you be my girlfriend?”

“Always. You, Kam Arnold, are my home.”

Done. (2/2)

[yevenbother1]

This is so Fucked

In honor of the loss we have a loss fic before the real K9 fic is release.

The mood in the locker room was about as dead as one would think after loosing the final four. The press has finally cleared out and it left only KK, Sara, and Azzi slumped against their lockers, staring off into space. 

“I’m not even mad.” Sarah said suddenly.

“What do you mean? We lost!” KK let out, her patience long gone, mostly mad at herself.

“Like, we should have done better but I’m just sad. We worked all season to be number one and it just slipped. We had a one off but like we were always together! And now we’re not,” Sara’s voice broke lightly at the admission.

“We aren’t broken up, just readjusting, we’re always gonna be us Rah,” Azzi consoled rubbing her arms lightly in a hug.

KK had no words to say. She had been so focused and keeping her mind on the win the loss of Azzi, and Carol and everybody else leaving finally hit her. God did it hurt.

“And I’m not just sad for that, I know our friendship is gonna be strong still.  I’m sad for our teammates,” she paused. 

“The look in Kayleigh’s eyes when she missed that shot, she was so disappointed in herself, she felt like the whole game loss was because of her. We’re a team, she should never have felt like it was all on her!”

KK’s stomach turned. God Kayleigh, she had completely erased the layup from her memory. It didn’t matter enough to remember, but Kayleigh, it must be the only thing she was replaying. KK felt like an idiot, she hadn’t said a word to her after the game.

“I’m an idiot,” she breathed out getting up in a haste.

“KK what are you talking about?” Azzi questioned.

“I have to check on Heckel. I can’t believe I left my g-“ she paused realizing what she had almost let slip out. 

God, this is so fucked. Like majorly. She felt their eyes bare into her after the slight admission.

“KK… are you dating Kayleigh?” Sarah prodded softly.

She didn’t know what to say. If she said it they would know, it would be real. But then again, Kayleigh wasn’t even her girlfriend. They had refused to label it, whatever they were doing. Made it easier, for who KK didn’t know cause it only stung knowing all they did was under covers, hidden away from the people she cared about the most.

“We’re… I don’t even know,” she admitted sighing and sitting back in her chair.

“I like her, like more than I should, but she said she wanted it to be casual. She said it would make it easier but it’s not easier for me!” She dropped her head looking into her lap to avoid the shocked looks in the face of her new round of tears.

“I want her so bad, but it’d ruin it all. She doesn’t even want me.”

Her chest felt like it might explode feeling it all now, it might have been easier to bear someone burning her alive than feeling as low as she did now. She slowly began to drown in the thoughts before feeling a light hand on her knee. Her eyes slowly raised to see Morgan’s.

“KK I promise you she wants you just as bad as you want her.” KK looked at her confused and hopeful as ever.

“Come on, you know Kayleigh wouldn’t keep this from me! KK she’s been like obsessed with you from day one, the only reason she suggested casual was because she thought you wouldn’t want more! I told her that was stupid but you know she doesn’t listen to my advice.”

“She wants me, like the same way I do back?” The idea seems so foreign to all of KK’s months of longing.

“Oh my goodness, yes! She’s in our room right now crushed because of the game but you know the first thing she said when I went to comfort her? “I just want KK!” She only ever wants you! So you better get off your sorry self and go get, and comfort, your girl!” Morgan lightly pushed KK’s bag into her hand.

KK looked up at Sarah and Azzi who gave reassuring smiles before she dashed off.

“Morgan you truly are a miracle worker.” Azzi praised.

“Thanks I’ve been wait in forever for them to get their stuff together! Also can I stay with you since I promise, KK is not leaving tonight.”

Kayleigh and Morgan’s Room

KK hovered awkwardly at the door hand slightly raised with the nerves of facing the girl she has pined after for what seemed like forever. She gathered a breath before striking the door twice.

“Coming!” Come through muffled from the other side of the door, the padding of rushed footsteps followed.

“Morgan I was thinking we should get food from-“ Kayleigh stopped after seeing who was really behind the door.

“KK,” she breathed out, “What are you doing here?”

“I um, I wanted to check on you mostly?” It came out halfway a question, her hands fiddling with the sweats she had changed into after her quick shower in the locker room.  

“Oh.” Was all she said her face flush from, presumably, shower steam, her hair looked slightly damp.

“Yeah oh.” She responded her face tilting up slightly in the first smile she’d felt since the upset.

“Sorry I’m just tired and a little surprised, come in.” She turned allowing KK to enter.

Her eyes scanned the room, she pretended to find it interesting as her shoulder tensed from the click of the lock. KK turned slowly to see Kayleigh’s leaned back on the door hand behind her. She looked into her eyes all that pained still fresh swirling in their brown, her lip bitten by her top teeth to try and regulate herself. 

KK rushed forward unable to stop herself. Her arm wrapped tightly around Kayleigh’s waist, breathing in the scent of her travel conditioner and stroking her hair lightly.

“It’s not your fault,” she whispered.

Kayleigh struggled a swallow eyes beginning to water once more.

“ I know it feels like it is because I’m feeling it too, but it’s not your fault Kay.” 

The dam broke as she collapsed into KK, tears steaming down her face as she gripped onto her shirt, slowly sinking into the ground.

“I fucking missed it KK! We could have come back and I missed it!” Her sobs broke something in KK. She should never have felt like this. 

“It was never your fault! We all missed shots, you never gave up on anything! You’re the whole reason we got as many steals as we did. One mistake doesn’t discredit all that you did for us this game and the whole season!” 

“But I-“

“Kayleigh you can’t beat yourself up about possibilities. No one blames you so you can’t blame yourself baby.” 

She lifted her head locking eyes with her for a second before pacing a quick kiss on her hairline. She was scared to break the moment, scared to say what had been on her mind for too long. She kept peppering kisses along her face instead. Slowly Kayleigh’s tears halted as she stared at KK. 

No one had cared for her as KK had. She knew she was it for her the second they had first kissed. 

“KK.” She placed her hands atop KK’s slowly letting her settle eye level with her. The sight of KK, sitting back on her heels trying to hold her, to fix everything wrong. 

It burned in her chest in the best way.

“Fuck- I love you.” KK was stunned only shortly at the sudden cursed. She didn’t have time to process her shock and Kayleigh’s mouth was on hers, prying past her lips and pressing into her like any amount of space would break them. Nothing had ever felt more right. She only pulled back after recovering from the shock. Kayleigh had said she loved her.

“You… love me?” Kayleigh laughed a little at her surprise.

“Of course I do you idiot! I have since you came into me and Azzi dorm just so annoying me while I did work!” KK’s laugh was watery her eyes filling with emotions. Kayleigh hesitate before asking,

“Do you, um do you love me?” KK looked incredulously before pulling her in for a short kiss.

“Of course I do! That’s the whole reason I came here, Morgan was going on about how you only wanted my comfort-“

“Wait Morgan said that?” 

“Yes she told me everything, I came so I could ask you to be my girlfriend! But you had to beat me to it huh?” 

“You know I have to keep you humble. Don’t want my girlfriend getting a big head or anything,” she leaned in smiling brightly at her.

“Girlfriend huh? Oh baby if that’s my title then I’m definitely getting a big head about it.” She kissed her slow and lazy, the moment dragged out, wrapped up in one another. Slowly Kayleigh’s eyes drooped, exhausted from all of today’s events.

“Okay let’s go to bed sleepy.” KK picked her up.

“I think I saw a TikTok like this.” She joked holding her the same as their first post only closer now.

“You’re so stupid.” Kayleigh all but whispered eyes fully closed.

“Yeah, stupid bout you.” They laid down drifting off into a peaceful sleep, not worrying about tomorrow or any loss, dreaming only of what their future would look like.

Bonus:

“Guys hurry up!” Morgan shouted in a whisper. Sarah, Caroline, Ash, Azzi, Serah, Blanca, and Kelis all followed closely behind her as she opened the door to their dorm slowly. They crept in, Kelis now in the lead holding her phone recording, Azzi scolded her earlier but that girl was relentless. 

“Okay everyone quiet!” Azzi, tired but excited, ordered.

They opened the door revealing an annoyed Kayleigh and KK.

“Yall are the loudest people I know!” KK said hoarsely. Kayleigh groaned pushing her head deeper into KK’s neck.

“Babe make them go away.” The word slips out let second nature. It made everyone paused, KK’s cheeks tinged red and Kayleigh’s eyes opened wide.

“Umm…” 

Everyone screamed and jumped on the bed. 

Among all the chatter and chaos KK looked down at Kayleigh and smiled.

“We’re never getting a moments peace now because of you.” 

“Perfect, as long as it’s us.” She kissed her soundly.

No one stopped screaming about it for about the next 10 mins. 

Let me know what you guys think and also should I write smut for the main fic and should it be a series? Also I’m thinking for like an obsessed!KK x slowlycorrupted!Kayleigh fic.

I think kayleigh has a bf(i might be lying so don't listen to me) but this is so giving sarina hard launch. I'm lowkey on them now.

AND I HAVE SO MUCH EVIDENCE OF KAYLEIGH'S POSSIBLE LESBIANESS

Edit:

I think im leaning more towards bisexual now that im reviewing evidence.

Edit edit:

Me calling her a lesbian was an overreaction in the moment, but I still stand on possible bisexual.

Everyone shipping them needs to either stop or learn to use group chats. Remember they're on socials and these things get spread around.

She's probably seen all of it and took down her pinned of her and KK. Y'all are making her uncomfortable. If we want lives and shit, KEEP IT IN THE GROUP CHATS
