The notification for KK's live popped up, a wide smile spreading across your face. You'd been good friends with KK since you both arrived at UConn, and lately, you'd been spending a lot of time with the whole basketball team. Tonight, it looked like the entire starting five was crammed into KK's dorm room, all fighting for space in front of the camera.

"Alright, y'all!" KK's voice boomed, her phone precariously propped against a stack of textbooks. "Welcome to another chaotic night with the Huskies! We got Paige, Azzi, Jana, Nika... and we got [Y/N] here!" She swung the camera to you, and you waved, feeling a little shy under the sudden spotlight. "So, [Y/N] has been teaching us some Spanish, 'cause we're trying to be cultured, you know?" She winked.

Comments started flooding in, a mix of heart emojis, fire emojis, and questions about practice.

"Okay, Professor [Y/N]!" Paige, ever the enthusiast, clapped her hands together. "What's our lesson tonight? I've been practicing 'Hola, ¿cómo estás?'" She grinned, a playful glint in her eyes. That grin had you already thinking Paige had something up her sleeve.

"Muy bien, Paige!" you chuckled, feeling more comfortable as the team's familiar energy surrounded you. "Tonight, we're going to learn some compliments. You know, for when you want to tell someone they played a great game, or that their outfit is fire."

Jana perked up. "Ooh, I need this! Nika, get ready for some compliments in Spanish."

You started with some basics, writing them on a whiteboard you'd brought over: "Eres increíble" (You are incredible), "Jugaste muy bien" (You played very well), "Me encanta tu energía" (I love your energy). The team, surprisingly focused, repeated after you, their accents thick but their enthusiasm infectious. Paige, in particular, was picking it up fast, her brow furrowed in concentration one moment, then beaming proudly when she got a phrase right.

"Okay, last one for tonight," you announced, turning back to the board. "This one's a bit more personal, but it's good to know. How about... 'Eres mi persona favorita'?"

"What's that mean?" Azzi asked, leaning in.

"It means 'You are my favorite person,'" you explained, and a soft "aww" rippled through the comments.

Paige, who had been quietly watching you, suddenly piped up, a mischievous glint in her eyes. She turned to the camera, a wide, confident smile on her face. "Okay, wait, wait, wait!" she said, holding up a hand. Then, she looked directly at you, her gaze warm and steady.

Taking a deep breath, she then looked back at the camera, a triumphant smirk playing on her lips as she announced, very clearly, in Spanish: "[Y/N] y yo estamos saliendo."

The room went completely silent. KK's jaw dropped, Nika's eyes widened, and even Azzi looked stunned. The comments section, however, absolutely exploded.

You, on the other hand, felt your face flush crimson. You knew exactly what that meant. “[Y/N] and I are dating.”

Paige, still beaming, turned to you, her hand gently finding yours and intertwining your fingers. "Did I say that right, Professor?" she asked, her voice innocent, but her eyes sparkling with amusement and something deeper.

You could only nod, a dizzying mix of embarrassment and pure elation washing over you. The team, finally processing what just happened, erupted in cheers and playful jeers.

"PAIGE!" KK shrieked, finally finding her voice. "You can't just drop bombs like that on my live!"

But Paige just shrugged, squeezing your hand. "Well, she taught me the words, so I figured it was time to use them." She looked at you again, her smile softening. "Right?"

"Where'd you learn to say that?" You say giggling.

"Google Translate..." She says looking to the side.

"Paige you cannot be serious"

"Just kidding I asked some girl in my Spanish class to teach me"

"You could've asked me you know" You say slightly shoving her playfully.

"Well that would've beat the point of the surprise, We've been wanting to go public, might as well make it big"

You just laughed, shaking your head, your heart doing a happy little flutter in your chest.
