Yawning, you slugged into the gym a few minutes later than planned, and dropped yourself onto the bench next to the coach. Suzaku brushed his goatee, taking his eyes off the gym floor to give you a curious look from the corner of his eye.
"Bad date?" he asked.
"Yep."
"I'm sorry, Kid. That sucks. You were looking forward to it."
"Yep."
He waited, lips pinched together until he couldn't wait any longer. "What happened?"
"Ugh!" You sunk into the bench, back hunching until you fully curled over your lap. "He was just. So much? Too little? Everything and nothing at all?"
"How... descriptive."
You groaned again, lifting your head to see the team walk in together with their training gear on and made their way to one of the trainers who was waiting in the centre of the gym to lead their warm-ups. You lowered your voice as they made a large circle, and some of the towering players settled into their spots a couple of steps in front of you.
"Okay, first, we agreed to see a movie. And I thought, 'sounds good. I love movies; it'll give us something to discuss afterwards.' I got to choose the film and, of course, I went with that murder movie, right? He slept through it! And when I asked what he thought, he said 'it's no DC cinematic classic.' So I already wanted to leave, but at that point, we had already gotten to dinner." You breathed, trying to whisper as you noticed the players glancing over their shoulders to get an ear on what you were saying. "He spent the whole time whining about his ex, who for the record, sounded lovely, and how she didn't take care of him enough. Honestly, that woman was a saint for putting up with him for more than five hours. He didn't even listen to a word I said. Gosh, why do I even bother dating men? Do you have a daughter, Coach Suzaku?"
"I do, but she's got some anger issues and spends most of her time whining. She's also four, so, ya know."
You huffed a laugh, earning a pat on the back from the man. "I should just get off dating apps. It's done nothing but cause me headaches."
"I think you need to meet someone the old-fashioned way. You know, I met my wife in college. There was a campus party, and I threw up in the toilet while she was crying in the bathtub."
You gave him a horrified look. "And she went for that?"
"After laughing at me, ya."
You chuckled, imagining Suzaku with his arms wrapped around a toilet bowl and acidic chucks falling from his nose, being laughed at by a woman with messy hair and tear-stained cheeks that was curled up in the nearby tub. "She sounds wonderful."
