#final four

"Thank god we were as far apart as we could possibly go," Lauren laughs, bumping into you accidentally as you walk across the gym. Media day is hectic as any would be, photographers running across the floor, equipment in hand, music blasting in the background, players mingling about, and multiple stations for different types of photos and videos. Being the only rookies on the team, you and Lauren had sort of been paired together today, assigned to keep each other company.

You nod, giggling. "We would have been absolute menaces,"

"More like you'd be an absolute menace," She gives you a pointed look, raising her eyebrow.

"I think UCLA scrambled your brain."

She retaliates, a snort coming out of her nose as she mumbles, "UConn might've done it worse though."

Slowly, you make your way through the various stations, facing teasing by each and every one of your teammates. The majority of the comments are suggestive as they waggle their eyebrows between the two of you.

But honestly, you definitely don't hate it. Would it be wrong to say that you enjoy it?

To be fair, in the last couple of days, you and Lauren had gotten really comfortable. Likeswappingspitlevel-comfortable. Oops! Did someone just say something?

Maybe once or twice, you had been caught by a teammate sleeping over at each other's apartments. But hey! You're just making friends, right? Trying to fit in!

Eventually, the day wraps up, camera crews pack up, images begin to get edited, and players begin to change back into sweats.

"You coming out with us tonight?" Georgia calls on her way out, not facing a particular person, but you know it's directed at you.

Not yet raising your voice, you look to the side at Lauren. "Are we?"

She just shrugs, nodding. "I mean, we can if you want, we can always postpone our plans," She says the last part with a smirk, implying certain activities that are definitely able to be repeated.

"Yep!" You call back, grinning as you and Lauren make your way to her car.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You're tipsy. Not drunk enough to strip naked or pass out, but definitely drunk enough to do things you wouldn't think about sober. Curled up on Lo's lap, you rest your head on her chest, your arms wrapped around her torso as she talks. The feeling is soothing, the sound of her voice practically humming in her chest as you press your ear up to it. She feels… safe.

But after a while of listening and sipping on your Shirley Temple, you decide you're bored. Way too bored to be sitting at a table with a bunch of vets, no, you definitely couldn't do that. So, getting up, you drag Lauren with you, and obviously, she follows. There's not a complaint in sight as you lead her onto the dance floor and wrap your arms around her neck.

Wordlessly, she brings her hands to your hips as you lock your own against the nape of her neck, your thumbs rubbing gently over her soft skin.

"You look hot in red." You smile up at her, your cheeks flushed and confidence high.

"Oh yeah? You're gonna be seeing a lot more of that this year than," Nodding, you raise your eyebrows. "I know." You're tired, very tired. Your eyes practically droop as the words come out, but you manage to stay upright.

Somehow, Lo's sober enough to get the memo, putting a hand gently on the back of your head, she pulls you into her chest. Her palm holds you tight as you wordlessly sway to the music, something way too fast-paced to be doing this right now.

user898 oh my god i knew it

user89283 shut up they're so cuteeeeeeee

headcannon 1

i feel like she's super outgoing all the time, like she loves being vocal about you

✶ she's so insane about like showing you off and stuff. like when she's asked to do a tiktok or an interview, she automatically brings you with her and like pushes you in front and gushes about how pretty and amazing you look

headcannon 2

meg is such an ass-girl, like she is obsessed with your butt

✶ she loves tapping your butt as she walks by

✶ she is fucking gone when you grind your ass into her when you're out dancing together

headcannon 3

i feel like she'd be superstitious

✶ she would definitely have your initials written on the end of her bat, and she would like to kiss it before she went up to bat. maybe she would also write your initials in the sand before she batted

✶ maybe she would also wear a bracelet that you made her, claiming that it brings luck, and she has to have it on during every game

headcannon 4

she is absolutely obsessed with you, like so insanely

✶ i feel like when she's on base, she would make weird faces at you while you're in the stands or like mouth "i love you" to you.

✶ she loves helping you. i feel like to you, it's kind of a small thing, but to her it's super big. like she loves being able to get things for you, or like carry you when you're tired/sick

✶ i feel like she would really enjoy getting matching nails with you each month, too

headcannon 5

ohemgee she is like the biggest cuddler

✶ she absolutely adores cuddles, and it honestly doesn't even matter if she's the big spoon or little spoon; she just loves shoving her face into the crook of your neck

✶ okay, so basically, you and Georgia had been dating for a while, like through college. when she first got to the W, you were so so happy for her

✶ i feel like your dynamic in college was sort of a little pazzi-ish, like you didn't explicitly come out together until the draft, but you definitely looked close in public. you might've just referred to each other as best friends or something. you would always attend her games courtside, and she would, of course, like to come up to you and chat during warmups. fans obviously noticed the way she would blush and smile at you during these little pockets of conversation before games. they also noticed how you were the first person she would go up to after games, immediately running to you when she won a big one, or falling into your arms when she lost one, shoving her face into the crook of your neck

✶ you would always like post tiktoks and instagram posts, hinting towards something more than friends, but never explicitly saying it until you're well past college

✶ during the actual draft, maybe you would like soft launch together, like with an instagram story of you holding hands before she gets drafted, or fans spotting you in the crowd, like whispering to each other

✶ i feel like you guys wouldn't officially come out until after she, like, heals- not fully, but kind of healed. like maybe she proposes to you one night at dinner. she'd totally be super nervous about the whole thing and while she's like getting onto one knee you would be giggling and crying, trying to help her because you feel bad about her acl and don't want her to hurt herself more. but you guys would come out with an engagement post together. fans obviously absolutely freak out

✶ flashforward to her "first" wnba season, you're like super excited to watch her actually be able to play again.

With your best friend following you, together you make your way down the stairs to the Mystic's court. Smiling, you wave at the cameras as you pass by, posing for what will be most certainly posted all over social media within minutes. You can practically imagine the captions already, "Georgia Amoore's Fiance pulling up to Her First Pre-Season Game!" You really don't hate the attention, though. You obviously don't relish it, but it's nice being able to pull the spotlight on Georgia, even if a lot of articles include both of you. She deserves the attention, she deserves the recognition for her hard work.

Finally, you make it to your seats. With drinks already in hand, you lean into Megan, your best friend.

"What do you think she's gonna do when she sees you?" You whisper, smiling as you pull away.

Laughing, Megan sips her drink. "Probably stick her tongue out at me,"

"or flip you off,"

She shrugs, nodding as you wait. "You're probably right,"

The girls jog onto the court, their warm-up outfits on, and picking up your old ritual, Georgia beelines for you, ignoring the girls already tossing balls.

As predicted, she shoots Megan a raised eyebrow and a middle finger before leaning down to hug you. Her arms wrap around your back as she kisses your cheek.

"I forgot how pretty you look wearing my name," She whispers into your ear, smiling as she pulls away.

Smirking, you hold her gaze. "It might be prettier off."

With her eyebrows raised now, her cheeks turn red. "We're in public,"

But you just shrug, pulling Megan away from a conversation she started with a neighbor.

Pretending to look unimpressed, Georgia looks your best friend up and down, disapprovingly shaking her head. "We're gonna lose now,"

"Girl, I'm your lucky charm, shut it,"

Breaking into a smile, your fiancé can't be serious for too long, or even pretend to be serious for that matter.

She leaves to practice a bit after that, coming back only to give you a quick kiss, promising to "not be too distracted" on the court (she always is when you're there).

✶ okay so i feel like lauren’s honestly super chill when you’re out together, like she’s a little clingy, but still, she’s not insanely all over you. sure, she might have her arm thrown around your shoulders lazily or something, but she’s not like forcing you into her side at all times. not that she’s controlling, but she lets you dance and honestly do, and wear, whatever you want the entire night, just as long as everyone knows who you are

✶ if someone came up to talk to you while you were dancing and tried to like grind into you or like get you to dance with them, she would immediately come over, pulling you into her and staring them down as she dances with you. she’s a huge glare-er in these types of situations, wanting them to know you’re completely off limits. most of the time, you just giggle, playing along with her as her arm falls around the front of you, with your back pressed against her chest

headcannon 1

starting off strong, how she is in bed

✶ i feel like she would be super shy in bed, like you gradually help her gain confidence, but she's always super flustered and blushing

✶ the girl is definitely a secret freak, like she has all sort of kinks that you pull out of her slowly

✶ she's definitely a switch, but most of the time she's bottoming

headcannon 2

she prefers to be private with you, although she’s still affectionate in public

✶ when she’s asked about you in interviews and stuff, she gets super flustered and embarassed, but of course, she’ll still mention you and stuff and talk about you. but again, she likes keeping your relationship private-r, so she doesn’t share too much.

✶ like she’s more nervous in public, she’s not insanely touchy but she loves holding your hand, honestly she does it for comfort. but again, she’s not crazy about pda, like she’s not all over you all the time

headcannon 3

she's super big on dates and spoiling you

✶ yes, she's not insanely pda in public, but at the same time, acts of service is definitely her (and your) love language, so she loves spoiling you like all the time. you go out to dinner at least once a week together and of course, this girl's paying

✶ if you even mention wanting something, she has it for you within the week

✶ she likes randomly getting you like flowers or something and delivering them to your door

✶ i feel like her guilty pleasure with you would be going grocery shopping. she's honestly super big on domestic activities like shopping or going to buy plants for your fire escape. she loves just like doing natural things with you

headcannon 4

she's super clingy, but not in the way you would think

✶ gianna texts you all. the. time. like i mean all the time. before practice? you get a text. after practice? a text. before games? a text. when she gets home? a text. she just loves randomly texting you and telling you every little part of her day. she also likes checking in on you a lot
