the best thing about dating nat was that you got to cheerlead before her football games. she loved it, you looking beautiful in your cheer outfit, smiling at her on the field when you could and motivating her for her game.

“hey beautiful.” nat smiled, snaking her arms around your waist. “you excited?”
