don’t hide me
Description: When almost getting caught shakes KK more than she expected, Kayleigh is left wondering if she’s something to be hidden.
The gym is empty
Or at least it’s supposed to be
Lights dimmed
Echoes softer than usual
That quiet that only happens after everyone leaves
Kayleigh is sitting on the edge of the bleachers
KK standing in front of her
Close
Too close for just teammates
They’ve been like this more lately
Stealing moments
Finding time
Keeping it quiet
Not a secret
But not exactly public either
Kayleigh looks up at her
“…you’re staring again”
KK smiles a little
“…you like it”
Kayleigh rolls her eyes but doesn’t deny it
KK steps closer
Hands settling at her waist
Familiar now
Easy
Kayleigh’s hands come up to her hoodie
Light grip
Not pulling
Just there
Their voices drop without thinking
Like the space asks for it
“…you leaving after this?” Kayleigh asks
KK shakes her head slightly
“…nah”
A pause
Then softer
“…you?”
Kayleigh shakes her head too
“…no”
And that’s all it takes
The space between them disappears
Slow at first
Then not
Just enough to feel real
To feel like them
Kayleigh leans into her
KK meets her there
Nothing rushed
Nothing careless
Just
close
—
A sound
Footsteps
Voices faint in the hallway
Both of them freeze
KK pulls back immediately
Too fast
Kayleigh’s hands drop
The space between them comes back all at once
KK steps away
Running a hand through her hair
“…someone’s here,” she mutters
Kayleigh nods
But she doesn’t move right away
Because something about that
The way KK pulled away
It sticks
More than it should
The moment passes
The voices fade
But the feeling doesn’t
⸻
The next day
KK is different
Not rude
Not cold
Just
not there
Short answers
Distracted
Not looking at her the same
Kayleigh notices immediately
Of course she does
She tries not to make it obvious
But it builds
All day
Every time KK doesn’t reach for her
Doesn’t sit as close
Doesn’t look as long
It builds
Until it turns into something else
⸻
Later
KK leaves to run to the store
Says she’ll be back
Normal
Like everything is fine
But it doesn’t feel fine
Not to Kayleigh
⸻
By the time KK gets back
Something is off
The room is quiet
Too quiet
She sets her keys down
“…Kayleigh?”
No answer
She steps further in
And then she sees her
Sitting on the floor near the bed
Back against it
Knees pulled in
Crying
Not quiet crying
Not a few tears
Full
Shaking
KK freezes for half a second
“…hey—hey, what happened?”
She’s already moving
Dropping everything
Kneeling in front of her
Kayleigh doesn’t look up at first
Just shakes her head
“…nothing”
But it’s not nothing
Not even close
KK’s voice softens immediately
“…Kayleigh, look at me”
Slowly
She does
Eyes red
Face tear-streaked
And that hits harder than anything
KK’s chest tightens
“…what’s wrong?”
Kayleigh lets out a shaky breath
“…are you embarrassed of me?”
The question lands
Heavy
KK blinks
“…what?”
Kayleigh shakes her head
Words coming out rushed now
Messy
“I knew it, I knew it—yesterday you pulled away like—like you didn’t even want to be near me and today you won’t even look at me and I just—”
Her voice breaks completely
“I feel stupid”
KK’s expression drops instantly
“…Kayleigh, no”
She reaches for her
But Kayleigh pulls back slightly
Which makes KK stop
Not forcing it
“…don’t do that,” Kayleigh says quietly
“…don’t act like it’s nothing when it felt like everything”
That hurts
Because KK knows
She caused that
She caused this
Her voice drops
Soft
Careful
“…I’m not embarrassed of you”
Kayleigh looks away
“…it felt like it”
KK shakes her head immediately
“…no, that’s not—”
She stops herself
Takes a breath
Starts over
“…I got scared”
Kayleigh looks back at her
Confused
“…of what?”
KK hesitates for a second
Then just says it
“…someone seeing”
Kayleigh’s face falls slightly
“…exactly”
KK leans forward a little
“…not because of you”
Her voice is more firm now
“But because I didn’t want that moment to get taken from us”
Kayleigh doesn’t respond right away
So KK keeps going
“I wasn’t thinking about how it looked, I was thinking about how fast it would change everything if someone walked in”
A pause
Softer now
“I should’ve stayed”
That’s the part that matters
Kayleigh’s expression shifts
Just slightly
KK’s voice drops again
“I should’ve stayed instead of pulling away like that”
Kayleigh’s eyes fill again
“…it made me feel like you didn’t want me”
KK moves closer this time
Slow
Giving her time
“I always want you”
Kayleigh exhales shakily
KK reaches out again
More careful this time
And this time
Kayleigh lets her
KK pulls her in
Gentle
Steady
One hand at the back of her head
The other around her
Grounding
“I’m sorry,” KK murmurs
Kayleigh nods against her
Still holding onto her
Tight
Like she doesn’t want to risk losing that again
KK presses her forehead lightly against hers
“…I’m not hiding you”
Kayleigh’s voice is quiet
“…promise?”
KK nods
“…promise”
A pause
The air shifts again
Not tense
But heavy in a different way now
Closer
Kayleigh doesn’t pull away
Neither does KK
Their foreheads still touching
Breath close
Everything slowing down again
But this time
neither of them rushes
Neither of them pulls back
⸻
As Kayleigh's breathing returns to normal, she begins to trace idle patterns on KK's hoodie, her mind wandering back to the moment they were interrupted yesterday. She tilts her head up to look at KK, her eyes searching. "You know, I've been thinking..."
KK hums softly, encouraging her to continue.
Kayleigh bites her lip, hesitation clear in her voice. "I've never... I've never done this before. With anyone. And I know you've probably... I mean, you're older, and you've got more experience, so I just... I want to make sure I'm not messing this up."
KK's expression softens, and she cups Kayleigh's cheek, her thumb gently brushing away a lingering tear.
"Hey, none of that matters right now. We're figuring this out together, okay? And as for experience, it's not about how many times you've done something, but how you feel when you're doing it."
Kayleigh nods, leaning into KK's touch. "I just... I want to make you feel good. Like, really good."
A small smile plays on KK's lips. "You already do, Kayleigh. Just being with you, like this, it's more than enough."
Kayleigh shakes her head slightly, her eyes sparkling with determination.
"I want to do more. I want to... explore. With you."
KK's breath hitches slightly, and she swallows hard, her voice barely above a whisper. "Are you sure? We don't have to rush into anything."
Kayleigh nods, her voice steady.
"I'm sure. I trust you."
KK takes a deep breath, her heart pounding in her chest. "Alright. But we go at your pace, okay? We communicate, and we stop if you want to, at any time."
Kayleigh smiles, her eyes shining with excitement and nervousness. "Okay."
KK leans in, pressing a soft, slow kiss to Kayleigh's lips. It deepens, becoming more passionate, as Kayleigh responds eagerly. KK's hands find their way to Kayleigh's hips, pulling her closer, as Kayleigh's hands grip KK's hoodie, holding on tight.
When they finally pull away, they're both breathless. KK's eyes are dark with desire, but she keeps her touch gentle as she begins to explore Kayleigh's body. She starts slow, her hands roaming over Kayleigh's back, her sides, her hips, learning the curves and lines of her body.
Kayleigh mirrors KK's actions, her own hands tentative at first, but growing more confident with each passing moment. She traces the lines of KK's muscles, her fingers brushing over her skin, leaving trails of goosebumps in their wake.
KK's breath hitches as Kayleigh's fingers brush over a sensitive spot, and she lets out a soft moan. Encouraged, Kayleigh does it again, her touch growing bolder, more confident.
KK reaches for the hem of Kayleigh's shirt, looking for permission. Kayleigh nods, and KK slowly lifts the shirt off, revealing Kayleigh's bare skin. She takes a moment to appreciate the view, her eyes filled with admiration and desire.
Kayleigh blushes under KK's gaze, but she doesn't shy away. Instead, she reaches for KK's shirt, pulling it off as well. They sit there for a moment, taking each other in, their breaths coming in quick pants.
KK reaches out, her fingers tracing the neckline of Kayleigh's bra. "Can I?" she asks, her voice barely above a whisper.
Kayleigh nods, her voice breathy. "Yes."
KK slowly removes Kayleigh's bra, her touch gentle and reverent. She takes her time, exploring every inch of Kayleigh's skin, her touch leaving trails of fire in its wake. Kayleigh moans softly, her head falling back, her eyes closed.
KK takes advantage of the position, her lips finding the soft skin of Kayleigh's neck, her shoulders, her collarbone. She kisses, she licks, she nips, each touch sending shockwaves of pleasure through Kayleigh's body.
Kayleigh's hands find their way to KK's hair, holding on tight as she loses herself in the sensation. She lets out a soft moan, her body arching slightly, pressing against KK.
KK responds in kind, her hands finding their way to Kayleigh's breasts, her thumbs brushing over her nipples. Kayleigh gasps, her eyes flying open, her grip on KK's hair tightening.
KK smiles, her eyes dark with desire. "You like that, huh?" she murmurs, her voice husky.
Kayleigh nods, her voice barely above a whisper. "Yes."
KK leans in, her lips finding Kayleigh's nipple, her tongue flicking out to taste it. Kayleigh moans, her body writhing as KK's mouth works its magic. She can feel the heat building between her legs, her body aching for more.
KK seems to sense this, her hand slowly making its way down Kayleigh's body, her fingers hooking into the waistband of her pants. She looks up at Kayleigh, seeking permission.
Kayleigh nods, her eyes dark with desire. "Please," she whispers.
KK smiles, her fingers slowly sliding into Kayleigh's pants, her touch gentle as she explores. Kayleigh gasps, her body arching as KK's fingers find their target. KK begins to move, her fingers slow and steady, her touch firm and sure.
Kayleigh's moans fill the room, her body writhing as KK's fingers work their magic. She can feel the pleasure building, her body tensing as she gets closer and closer to the edge.
KK can sense it too, her touch growing more insistent, her fingers moving faster. She leans in, her lips finding Kayleigh's, her tongue slipping into her mouth, swallowing her moans.
And then, with a final cry, Kayleigh falls over the edge, her body convulsing as wave after wave of pleasure washes over her. KK holds her close, her touch gentle as she rides out her orgasm.
As Kayleigh comes down, she looks at KK, her eyes filled with gratitude and love. "Thank you," she whispers.
KK smiles, her heart filled with warmth. "Anytime, Kayleigh. Anytime."

After
They don’t move far
Kayleigh ends up tucked into KK again
Breathing calmer now
Still close
Still holding on
KK presses a soft kiss to her hair
“…you good?”
Kayleigh nods
“…yeah”
A small pause
Then softer
“…don’t do that again”
KK smiles a little
“…I won’t”
And this time
she means it.
