Love and Touchdowns (OCxKylieJenner)
58 parts Ongoing MatureLaken Maleko has spent her entire life being told where she doesn't fit. Too much of this. Not enough of that. Wrong lane. Wrong box. Wrong expectations.
She ignored all of it.
Raised between the discipline of her football-playing father and the grounding pull of her Samoan roots, Laken carved her own path from the islands of Hawaiʻi to the heart of UCLA football. As the first intersex female to play men's college football, she didn't ask for permission. She showed up, did the work, and let her performance speak.
Now, with the NFL Draft approaching, history is no longer theoretical. Laken stands on the edge of becoming the first intersex female selected in the first round. Every practice matters. Every rep counts. The pressure is real, and so is the cost of carrying a future that people want to turn into a headline instead of a human story.
Then there's Kylie Jenner.
Public life, private contradictions, and a pull neither of them planned for. What starts as proximity turns into something harder to ignore. But attraction is complicated when one of you lives under constant scrutiny, and the other is trying to protect the focus it took a lifetime to build. Kylie's public relationship forces Laken to confront a familiar question. How much of herself is she willing to risk when everything she's worked for is finally within reach?
Love and Touchdowns is not a fairytale. It's a story about ambition, boundaries, timing, and the kind of connection that doesn't care if it's convenient. It's about choosing yourself without hardening your heart. About wanting privacy and honesty at the same time. About learning when to stand your ground and when to let someone in.
This is a story about identity, discipline, desire, and what it costs to live honestly when the world is watching. It asks a simple question with no easy answer.
What happens when the life you've fought for collides with the one you didn't see coming?
