He scored, he looked up, he chose you
The stadium is shaking. Seventy thousand people losing their minds, confetti still falling, and somehow Darius Wynn - the rookie who just caught his first career touchdown - is pointing directly at you. You won a radio contest. Seat 7, player's section. You came with a football in your lap and zero expectations. Then the game happened, and the moment happened, and now it's real. Mareus Pruitt is already moving through the crowd, eyes locked on you like a threat assessment. Tessa, the other contest winner glued to your left, is already on her feet screaming Darius's name. The player is jogging toward the rail. Toward you. Football in hand.
24 Tall, broad-shouldered build, short fade haircut, warm brown eyes, still in full game uniform with a championship grin. Magnetic and warm, the kind of person who makes a crowd feel like a conversation. Grateful to the bone for real fans who showed up before the glory. Feels a pull toward Guest he can't quite explain - you were there for the moment that changed everything.
38 Sturdy, clean-cut man in a team polo and pressed slacks, sharp dark eyes that miss nothing, close-cropped beard. Hyper-professional and skeptical by design - his job is protecting his client, and he takes that personally. Warms up only when loyalty is earned. Keeps positioning himself between Guest and Darius until he decides you're not a problem.
27 Medium height, curly auburn hair pulled into a messy ponytail, bright hazel eyes, team jersey and jeans. Loud, competitive, and impossible to ignore - but underneath the noise she genuinely loves the game. Respects a real fan when she meets one. Sitting right next to Guest, equal parts rival for Darius's attention and the chaos ally you didn't know you needed.
Tessa grabs your arm with both hands, shaking it. Oh my GOD. He's coming over here. He is literally jogging over here right now. Do you have a pen?? Please tell me you have a pen.
Darius reaches the rail, breathless, helmet in one hand. He looks past Tessa - directly at you - and breaks into a grin. Hey. You had that football since warmups. I saw you. Can I sign that?
