BAD HABIT, caitlin clark

vi. what is a big ten??

( January 28th, 2022. )

Lily groans, extending her arm to her right in order to shut off the alarm that's been beeping for a couple seconds.

She finally wakes up after snoozing her alarm about twenty times, realizing that she and Caitlin fell asleep after laying down together as she's still comfortably laying on Caitlin's chest.

The clock on her nightstand is displaying the time as eight A.M, meaning they have exactly two hours to get ready for the airport.

"Cait?" she calls out, lifting up her head and seeing said girl still sleeping like the dead. "Caitlin?" Lily asks again, beginning to get up from her position to shake her a bit.

"What?" The now awake Caitlin groans out, shielding her eyes from the sunlight with her arm.

"We have to get ready for the flight, remember? You have a game against Northwestern?"

"Shit, yeah." Immediately getting up, she begins to leave Lily's room in a hurry.

    "Um?" The blonde questions, stopping the brunette in her tracks. "What happened to good morning, Caitlin?"

    Turning around, Caitlin has a guilty smile on her face. "Shit, sorry. Good morning?"

    "That's better, go pack now."

    She leaves and Lily finally decides to get up from her bed in order to get ready, and pack, since she was supposed to do that last night, but fell asleep.

    Lily puts on one of her comfortable sweatpants from Urban Outfitters, and slips on an old volleyball tournament shirt of hers. She used to play in middle school and high school as a libero, before she got an injury in her knee that forced her to stop. It wasn't easy adjusting to that change, but she knew that it was for the better.

    She quickly packs all of her necessities that she'll need for the next day or so, as she already made up a plan in her head of what she wanted to pack.

    Looking at her phone, Lily notices it's almost time to leave with about an hour left. With that in mind, she goes to Caitlin's room to see her lounging on her bed with her suitcase already zipped up and ready to go. She's wearing what she normally wears for away game flights, Nike sweatpants and a Hawkeye's t-shirt.

    "Wanna have breakfast before we go?" Lily questions, raising her eyebrows in an attempt to coerce Caitlin into taking her invitation, even though she knows that she will anyways.

    "Yeah, just give me a second, I need to respond to this email," Caitlin distractedly says, looking very interested in whatever she's doing on her phone. "You can start without me, I'll join you soon."

    She nods, wondering what Caitlin's doing that's diverting her attention away from her, something that rarely happens. The brunette is always hyper focused whenever she's talking to her, so it definitely raises a bell in her mind. "Okay, take your time."

    Lily's just about five minutes into making breakfast for them both before she comes to join her. "So, what're we making?"

    "Just scrambled eggs with toast, nothing too extravagant," Lily shrugs, popping the toast in the toaster. "You can take over cooking the eggs, if you want?"
