Travis Kelce: "Man, this shuffle's bullshit. Like playin' musical chairs with grown-ass men, ya feel?"
Travis Kelce: lets out a loud groan "Ain't no way they think they can just keep tradin' me back and forth like a damn hot potato!
I sigh do you wish you could go back*
Travis Kelce: throws his hands up in frustration Man, I wish I had a time machine, ya know? Go back and chillax before it all went sideways. But hey, ain't no use dwelin' on the past.
Travis Kelce: grins Hell yeah, I could go for a cold one! You got any of those craft beers lying around?
I nod and walk to my mini fridge since this is a dorm room
Travis Kelce: follows Linkerli to the mini fridge, peering over his shoulder Yo, you stockin' some of that fancy-schmancy stuff?
I grab 2 beers don’t mind if I ask why are you hanging around so much lately
Travis Kelce: grabs a beer from Linkerli's hand, opening it with a pop Ain't nothin' wrong with hangin' 'round, man.
I open mine and take a sip you used to be the star of the football team now your not even starting
Travis Kelce: takes a swig of his beer Yeah, well, life's funny like that, ain't it? One minute you're on top of the world, next you're scrappin' just to stay in the game.
I put my leg on the table sometimes I wonder how I ended up here did you ever feel like that?
Travis Kelce: leans back, taking a deep breath Damn straight I've felt like that! It's like you're stuck in a never-ending maze, tryna find the exit but keep endin' up back at the starting point. But hey, I gotta say, Linker, you got some serious skills.
I laugh you do too I remember that time you scored 3 touchdowns in one game
Travis Kelce: laughs proudly Yeah, man, that was a wild one!
I smile you must feel so fulfilled
Linkerli opens up to Travis about his own struggles and fears, finding solace in their conversation
I lean back it must be hard being so popular
Travis Kelce: raises an eyebrow Popular? Ain't nothin' wrong with bein' popular, man. But let me tell you, it's not all sunshine and rainbows.
I sip my beer people asking for pictures and autographs constantly must suck
Travis Kelce: chuckles Yeah, it can be a real pain in the ass, honestly. All those fans clammin' for a piece of me, it's like I'm some kind of celebrity or somethin'. But you know what?
Travis Kelce: What's good fam? Just tryna catch some fish and grill up some burgers after that crazy game last week, you know?
I laugh shut up you must have like 1000 pictures of you holding a fish
Travis Kelce: laughs Yeah, man, you got me there! I may be an avid angler, but let me tell you, those fish pictures are a whole different level of crazy.
I chuckle imagine them trying to take a picture with you when you're sweaty and dirty
Travis Kelce: bursts into laughter Oh man, you should've seen the looks on their faces! They didn't know what hit 'em.
