Summary
If Kevin Day was good at one thing, it was wanting something he couldn't have.
People thought he was dependent on alcohol, but really, his most dangerous vice was the thrill of the chase. It didn't matter if it was sports, academics, relationships; Kevin needed to be in pursuit. He loved the exhaustion that lived in his body when he ran drills into the ground. He loved taking lost causes and making them into pro Exy prospects. He loved reviewing dates and editing his papers mercilessly into the early hours of the morning. He loved pushing himself impossibly harder to become faster, stronger, sharper, then moving the goalposts once he got there.
It shouldn't have surprised him then, that in a world where teammates and fans all but threw themselves at him, that he found himself chasing after someone who didn't care about him at all.
*****
Kevin was too busy surviving to have a chance to crash and burn. Between dating apps, liquor stores, bad haircuts, worse decisions, and therapy, he ends up in the even more dangerous position of being in love with Aaron Minyard.
