❝ even when i detach, i care. you can be separate from a thing and still care about it. if i wanted to detach completely, i would move my body away. i would stop the conversation midsentence. i would leave the bed. instead, i hover over it for a second. i glance off in another direction. but i always glance back at you. ❞ AZZI FUDD X F!OC. ( on-going )

Everyone thinks they're already dating. They laugh it off. Deny it. Pretend it doesn't hurt. But when stolen touches last too long and "just friends" starts to feel like a lie, Azzi and Delaney find themselves toeing a line neither of them knows how to cross. And when jealousy, missed chances, and one nearly unforgettable kiss threaten everything they've built, they'll have to ask themselves the question they've spent years avoiding: What if they were always meant to be more?

When Lexie transfers schools mid-season, Azzi's first instinct isn't to introduce herself. It's to lowkey stalk her Instagram. (Spoiler: She couldn't find it.) Now they're teammates, late-night texting, sharing secrets, and somehow...sharing a bed? Lexie is sarcastic, charming, and definitely hiding more than just her tattoos. Azzi's trying not to fall. Too bad she's already halfway gone. (Also, Azzi swears she's not a stalker. Mostly.) Side note: there will be mature content!

Azzi Fudd is quiet, serious, and laser-focused on basketball. Grace, her outgoing and magnetic best friend, is the light in every room-funny, warm, and effortlessly charming. They've been inseparable for years, but Azzi's been hiding one thing: she's in love with Grace. Grace, always the life of the party, has never let anyone in too deep-especially not romantically. But when the season heats up and the pressure mounts, the lines between friendship and something more begin to blur. Glances linger. Touches spark. And neither of them can deny the tension building between them. As media attention grows and emotions run high, Azzi and Grace must face what's been unspoken for far too long: are they just best friends, or have they always been something more?
