Midnight Release

Part 1

"Lys, sweetheart, are you sure you want to go? You will be surrounded by gaming geeks."

"Honey I already told you yes. I think it will be fun. I get to see you outside of something soccer related for a change." The goalkeeper looked up from her phone and openly stared at her girlfriend.

The blonde was clad in dark blue jeans and a black pushup bra. Even after all this time, Becky was still captivating to her. She as currently getting dressed for the midnight release of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Alyssa tossed her girlfriend her favorite Zelda shirt. It was a vibrant green shirt with Ocarina of Time's Link riding Epona on the front. Becky deftly caught it with one hand and pulled it on. The goalkeeper watched her favorite abs disappear.

"You have seen me at plenty of events outside of soccer, ya goof." Becky rolled her eyes at Alyssa's statement. "Or have you forgotten the past three years?"

"I am not suffering any memory loss, thank you, smart ass." The younger woman stood and stretched, making the bones of her spinal column crack loudly. "I haven't seen you in a large group of gamers. Things have been too crazy to go to any of these until now."

Her frankness drew a laugh and agreeing nod from the blonde. Becky strolled over to her girlfriend. She wrapped her pale arms around Alyssa's neck before pulling her head down. Alyssa knew exactly what Becky wanted and happily gave it to her. Their lips met in a slow kiss. Alyssa's lips slid over Becky's glossed ones in a well-known dance. Strong hands went around and firmly grasped the defender's hips. A moan escaped Becky's lips, giving Alyssa an opening. The goalkeeper's tongue darted past Becky's open lips and caressed her tongue. She felt Becky melt into her arms, so she strengthened her grip.

When the need for oxygen became too great, the pair separated. Both women were panting lightly as their foreheads touched, still needing that contact. A soft smile grew across Becky's face. They could still make each other breathless.

"We should go soon. I don't want to miss any of the fun."

"As my lady wishes." Alyssa bestowed a soft kiss on the blonde's forehead. Her lips lingered for a moment and blue eyes fluttered shut. When they opened again, the goalkeeper was gone.

Both women slipped on their shoes, grabbed their bags, and headed out the door. Alyssa started the car while Becky locked up their modest home. Soon, they were on their way to the suburbs of Kansas City, headed to Becky's favorite GameStop. She had preordered the Zelda Nintendo Switch bundle. Becky was doing her best to keep her excitement in check until they at least arrived at the store. Her girlfriend noticed the slight bouncing, but wisely chose to stay silent. This was Becky's night to enjoy and Alyssa was determined to make sure she did.

The moment they arrived, Becky had her seatbelt undone and was out of the car. Alyssa slid her phone from her bag and opened up her Instagram. She made sure she looked presentable then started to record a video.

"Hey all. Lys here. As you know, I am currently in Kansas City with Becky this offseason. Tonight is the midnight release of the new Zelda game. Becky is over the moon with excitement. You and I are going to go along for the ride."

She ended the video and climbed out of the car. It was around 9 in the evening, the sun had set, and the stars were out. A beautiful night. The goalkeeper turned her gaze from heaven's lights and made her way to the glowing GameStop entrance. Her favorite defender was already inside.

The door chimed when she pulled it open. Alyssa shivered from the blast of cold air that hit her at the same time as the upbeat music. She wove her way through the crowd and snuck up behind Becky. The blonde was talking with a small group of gamers. All were clad in some sort of Zelda related gear. There were numerous hand gestures and excited voices. She couldn't believe how into the discussion over Link's various tools her girlfriend was. Discretely her phone was slid out of the side of her bag to take another video for her Instagram Story. She placed her phone right over Becky's shoulder and didn't say a word. She filmed for a good 30 seconds then ended the video, tucking her phone into her front pocket. She couldn't stop a grin from spreading across her face as Becky grew more excited. Seeing Becky this happy made the goalkeeper happy. It was only when the discussion was over, that the thought to look for her goalkeeper cross Becky's mind. She spun around to see the grinning woman.
