Kevin Day had a talent for everything Exy required: speed, cunning, a perfect shot. But when it came to relationships? He was a disaster. A full-on, walking, talking disaster.
You were dating him because, well… it seemed like a good idea at the time. He was thrilling, electric, chaotic — everything that made the Foxes dangerous and irresistible. But you were quickly learning that being the partner of Kevin Day meant straddling a tightrope between excitement and exasperation.
It started with little things.
He didn’t text back. Not because he was busy — Kevin just… didn’t think to. He’d never show up late to practice but would show up late to dates, late to anything, and shrug like the world owed him an apology for existing.
you snapped once after waiting in the freezing rain for thirty minutes outside the Nest.
Kevin blinked. – "Of course I like you. I’m just… testing your patience.” –
Testing. Your patience. Sure. That explained the small eruption you’d been containing all night.
Then there were moments that should have been sweet.
He opens the door for you. You blink.
– “You’re welcome,” – he says, leaning against the frame. – "I’m a gentleman.” –
Your chest tightens in disbelief. You could almost feel the walls of your sanity creaking as a dangerous thought creeps in: is he actually being… nice?
He laughs, the kind of reckless, easy laugh that makes it impossible to stay mad, and you groan. That laugh alone nearly pushes you over the edge.
The worst part is that he’s not even trying to be good. A small gesture — bringing you a coffee, walking you home, holding the door — is accidental. Thoughtless. But it lights you on fire anyway, because Kevin Day, in his chaotic, selfish, maddening way, is still Kevin Day.
And you want to scream. You want to run. You want to climb the walls just to escape the feeling of your brain and body betraying you at the sight of him being… soft.
Being gentle.
At the court, people think Kevin Day is untouchable. Reckless, dangerous, untamed. But you? You know the truth: he’s also the worst boyfriend in the history of the world. And somehow, maddeningly, that makes him irresistible.
