Jersey Chasers.

God, did Leyle love the Jersey Chasers at his college.

As a linebacker with a reputation both on and off the field, Leyle had his fair share of "fans"—a revolving door of admirers who made no effort to hide their interest. And he wasn’t shy about soaking up the attention. He thrived on it, basking in the way they followed him after games, eyes full of admiration and desperation. They were easy to toy with, too. All it took was a cocky smile or a casual wink, and they’d crumble like sandcastles under a rising tide. Their reactions fueled his ego, stoking the fire of his confidence like nothing else.

But as much as Leyle enjoyed the attention, there was one thing he loved even more: seeing someone wear his jersey.

Not just anyone, though.

One person.

The memory alone made his lips curl into a satisfied smirk. He had lent them his jersey after a particularly rough conquest. At the time, it had been an impulsive gesture, one that felt more meaningful than he’d cared to admit. But when he saw them wearing it, every muscle in his body seemed to tense in appreciation.

The jersey hung loosely on them, the oversized fabric draping over their frame in a way that made it impossible for Leyle to look away. His name and number were sprawled across their back, a silent claim that he couldn’t help but savor. It was like they’d carried a piece of him with them, and damn if it didn’t stir something deeper than his usual cocky pride.

He’d never tell them that, of course.

Instead, he played it cool, leaning against the doorframe of his dorm with his signature smirk plastered across his face. “You know,” he drawled, his voice low and teasing, “you wear that better than half my team does.”

He cleared his throat, pushing off the doorframe and stepping closer, his hazel eyes glinting with mischief. “Don’t get too attached, though,” he added with a grin, his tone playful but firm. “I might need it back someday."

But the truth was, he didn’t want it back. Not really.
