Mackenzie Arnold x Reader- Between the Goalposts

The stadium erupted in a cacophony of cheers and jeers as the final whistle blew, signalling another hard-fought victory for your team. Mackenzie Arnold, your goalkeeper, was the hero of the match, saving a crucial penalty in the dying minutes. As the players gathered in the centre of the field for the customary post-game handshakes, you found yourself stealing glances at Mackenzie, whose adrenaline-fueled smile was infectious.

Despite the chaos around you, you managed to catch Mackenzie's eye. Her gaze held yours, and in that moment, it felt like the entire world had faded away. She approached you, her steps deliberate yet graceful, the crowd's noise seeming distant and muffled.

"You were amazing out there," you said, the words barely audible over the crowd.

Mackenzie grinned, a blush creeping onto her cheeks. "Thanks. Couldn't have done it without the team."

Your heart pounded in your chest as you took a step closer, suddenly aware of the eyes that watched your every move—the fans in the stands, the teammates on the field, the staff members lining the sidelines. But none of it mattered in that instant.

With gentle boldness, you reached out, cupping Mackenzie's cheek. Her breath hitched slightly, surprise flickering in her eyes. Slowly, almost hesitantly, you leaned in, your lips brushing against hers in a tender, lingering kiss.

Time seemed to stand still. The world fell away, leaving only the warmth of Mackenzie's lips against yours, the softness of her touch, and the beating of your hearts in sync.

When you finally pulled away, the stadium roared to life once more, applause thundering through the air. Mackenzie's eyes sparkled with a mixture of astonishment and joy as she looked at you, a silent question in her gaze.

You smiled, squeezing her hand. "I've been wanting to do that for a long time."

Mackenzie laughed softly, her cheeks tinted pink. "I'm glad you did."

As the celebrations continued around you, you knew that this moment, this connection shared between the goalposts and under the gaze of countless spectators, was something special—a memory to cherish, both on and off the field.
