it was a few weeks into the off season, and we’re at some other party

i talk and socialize, for a while until i notice that you’re not near anymore, so i go and find you, and i find you near the top of the stairs, on your phone, a still full drink beside you

i hum subconsciously when i see you and i walk up the steps and move the drink out of the way so i can sit, and when i do, you put your phone down and lean your head against me

“this feels like a uconn party” i joke gently and i lean my cheek against the top of your head
