y/n's pov.

i stare at paige, giggling at the fact we just got caught by azzi. paige is dying of laughter in front of me. "well, i know azzi won't tell anyone." paige says after she finally collects herself. she gets up into the bed, laying in my lap. "hopefully, so are we gonna actually do this interview?" i ask, stroking her hair. "let me just nap for like ten minutes" she whines, nuzzling into my legs. i roll my eyes at her, she was so cute. we both get under the covers, as she continues to lay ontop of me. i watch paige slowly falling asleep. her beautiful blue eyes flutter. i sigh, knowing i was getting too deep. what if i fall in love with paige bueckers? it's not that i didn't want to, but it was the fact that the world didn't want us too. there was so many obstacles that stood in our way. i hear a soft snore come from her lips, which was the cutest thing i've ever heard. i film her snore, for proof later. and slowly close my eyes, and fall asleep right along with her.

time skip brought to you by my obsession w golden retriever mascs!!

 i feel paige shake me awake, "cmon baby, we've been asleep for 2 hours." she whispers into my ear. i groan, rubbing my eyes. paige lifts herself off of me, which i stop by grabbing her arm. "hug mee" i whine, pulling her back into me chest. i hear her laugh as her arms wrap around me. "you're so cute" she laughs as we both get out of bed. i hop off of the bed, and grab my bag as we are gonna film the interview in the basketball locker room. i feel paige grab my arm, turning me to face her. "hi." she says, as she pulls my face to hers. my lips softly meet hers, as we slowly kiss. i feel myself light up. this kiss was so soft, and sweet. "hi." i pull back smiling. i watch her eyes scan me up and down, "you just look good." she grins smugly, before we walk out of her dorm. i feel my heart flutter as her hand meets the small of my back.

paige's pov.

y/n and i walk towards the locker room, it being empty since it was 8 oclock at night. "okay, let me set up my phone." she says, making sure the uconn women's basketball logo was in the back. we sit on the couches, facing eachother. which was a little far for my liking, but whatever. "okay, be serious." she giggles, pulling out one of those small microphones. i die of laughter as she shows me the small mic. "stop! i got it from amazon just for this" she giggles. "just so prepared." i say between fits of laughter. "okay, okay. action" she says, calming herself. 

"hello! welcome back to the auriemma show! so today, i have paige bueckers on, paige say hi." she says, talking to the camera. i wave to the camera, "hi everyone." i smile. "so paige, what is it like being the hottest player in women's basketball right now?" she asks, with a smile. i immediately burst into laughter. i hear y/n groan. "okay, i meant like popular, we will be cutting this out." i smile, before answering her question. "well, i've worked really hard to get here. i think it's alot of pressure with all of the eyes on me, but i also love my fans and the UConn community." y/n nods before asking another question. "i totally understand that. so, was UConn your first option for college?" i find myself staring at y/n before answering. "honestly, yes. geno which you obviously know, had been scouting me for a long time. i don't think i could picture myself anywhere else." i change my tone for the last part, giving y/n a look. "oh my gosh, yes. dad talked more about you my sophmore year then me." she giggles, before continuing with her final question. "so last question, paige. dream wnba team?" y/n asks. i feel her stare on me which causes me to blush. "probably the aces, or maybe the lynx. the aces just have such a good community and i would love living in vegas, but the lynx are close to home." y/n looks to the camera and back to me. "yeah, i love the lynx." she smiles, tilting her head at me. "well, thank you so much paige! see you next time on the auriemma show." she smiles before getting up to end the video. 

"who knew you were such a reporter?" i smirk, as she comes to sit back down next to me. i scoot closer to her, putting my arm around her shoulder. "geno has me media trained." she jokes as she edits the parts of us laughing out of the video. "i wouldn't doubt it." i watch her email the video to our professor. "soo, can we get dinner?" she asks, putting her head on my shoulder. "whatever you want, baby." i say, laying a kiss on her head. 

y/n's pov.

i find myself so comfortable with paige's touch. she grabs my hand as we get up to go. the gym was empty and most of the campus was since it was around 9 on a random wednesday. this meant paige and i could hold hands without worrying. "can we doordash canes?" i ask, looking up at paige. "if that's what you want, love." she smiles, pulling out her phone to order it. we walk back to my dorm, assuming paige was staying the night again. as we get to my dorm, i unlock it and flop onto my bed. "im so tired." i groan into my pillow. i feel paige lay ontop of me, her weight crushing me. "helpp" i yell, as she kisses my neck. "i am not that heavy." she whines, rolling over, next to me. she draws circles on my back, sending shivers down my spine. "you're so pretty, auriemma." she whispers, as she plays with ends of my hair. "you're prettier, bueckers." i smile, rolling to meet her face. her hands meet my waist, pulling me closer to her. "my favorite girl." she says before pulling me into a kiss. i feel myself melt into it. i never wanted this moment to end.
