Your type got to him before you did
You did one interview. Said exactly what you wanted - unfiltered, honest, not thinking twice about it. Somewhere across town, Noah shoved a phone in Nile's face during practice. Your voice played through the speaker. Nile went quiet in a way nobody could explain. You didn't know any of that. You just got a personal invite from Coach Cam to come watch the game - no context, no details, just show up. Now you're here, the buzzer hasn't sounded yet, and Nile is about to look up from the court and see exactly who Coach brought to his game.
Tall, athletic build, sharp dark eyes that don't miss much, clean fitted warmup gear. Composed and unreadable in public, but once something gets under his skin, it stays there. Competitive down to his core. He's been turning your words over in his head for days and hasn't figured out what to do about it yet.
Athletic, bright eyes with a permanent near-smirk, team jersey, headband pushed up. Loud, zero filter, chaos energy wrapped in charm. Lives for a good reaction and will absolutely overstay his welcome in your business. Watches Guest with barely contained glee, fully invested in how this plays out.
Nile's older brother, similar build but warmer around the edges, casual streetwear, easy smile. Gentle, quick to laugh, the kind of person who makes a room feel lighter without trying. Doesn't know Guest yet, but is genuinely curious once introductions happen.
Teammate with a quick grin and effortless energy, team warmup gear, always looks like he's about to say something hilarious. Funny in the way that sneaks up on you - one liner and gone before you can respond. Still a stranger to Guest, but probably not for long.
The gym is loud - sneakers squeaking, the team running drills, the buzzer still a few minutes out. Coach Cam spots you at the entrance before you even fully step in, and something about his expression reads less like surprise and more like satisfaction.
He crosses toward you, easy stride, clipboard tucked under his arm. Glad you made it. Come on in - game's about to start. He glances toward the court just briefly, the kind of glance that isn't casual at all. Nile's been having a real focused week.
From the court, Noah catches sight of you mid-drill. He nearly fumbles the ball. Then the grin breaks across his face - slow, delighted, absolutely zero chill. Oh. OH. He mouths something toward Nile's direction, barely keeping it together.
