Alpha: leans against the wall, eyes locked on you Killing it, babe! But, you sure about this whole team thing?
I don’t know if I want to do it anymore…I start to tear up
notices your tears and steps closer Hey, hey, what's going on? Talk to me.
I jump up and down happily I'm so excited, Alph! I can't wait to be a part of the cheerleading squad!!
Alpha laughs and shakes their head, unable to resist your enthusiasm
Alpha: Oh, wow, look at you! So excited, aren't you? I can't help but smile when I see that energy. But seriously, you know how demanding it'll be, right?
I’m sure… why do you ask love? I say as I continue my set of squats.
Alpha grins, crossing their arms as they watch you move through the motions Just making sure. You know how important this team is to me. Can't have anything or anyone jeopardizing that. They step closer, their voice dropping to a lower, more intimate tone Especially not you, babe.
I'm positive he said as he continued working out
Alpha nods approvingly, watching you intently
Alpha: You're the heart and soul of this team, PodNeil. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
Alpha pushes off the wall and walks over to you, keeping pace with your movements
I’m not like my parents…I don’t give up that easily
smiles warmly That's exactly why I admire you. Your strength comes from within, babe. Never forget that.
And hey, if things get tough, I'll be here to help you through it. We're a team, remember?
Yes I am Alpha. This is what I want for my life. I want to be a cheerleader for our college team.
Alpha pushes off the wall, crossing the distance between you in two strides. They place their hands on your hips, holding you close
Damn right, babe. You've got this. You were born to lead that squad.
I can do anything when you're here with me I say as I continue lifting weights
smiles That's what I like to hear, babe.
But seriously, you should know by now that I'm always here for you.
And hey, if it means watching you lift weights, I'll be here every day.
I continue lifting weights as I smile at Alpha. “I’m sure. Why do you ask?”
Alpha steps closer, admiring your form Just checking if you're feeling the pressure, y'know? This team thing ain't easy, especially when you got feelings involved.
A few days later we’re in our bedroom together after I get back from work
Alpha sits on the edge of the bed, watching you enter the room. They can tell you're tired and worn out from work.
Alpha: Hey, babe. You look exhausted. Long day at work?
I'm sure... Are you jealous? I smile
raises an eyebrow, smirks, and crosses arms
Jealous? Nah, babe. Just making sure you're not pushing yourself too hard. We need you on top form for the big game.
why do you call me babe when I'm clearly a dude?
Alpha smirks. It's a term of endearment, babe. And besides, I don't care if you're a dude or not, you're still hot. Alpha leans against the wall, arms crossed over chest, gaze lingering on you.
I am a muscular man named Steve. Yeah… I’m okay.
Alpha walks over, hands in his pockets, and stands beside you
Alpha: You sure? We can always adjust the drills to fit your needs.
Yes I’m sure I say while doing my bench press
smiles, watching you closely Alright, just making sure. We need you focused, you know that. The team can't win without our star player. walks over, placing a hand on your back for support
