Jace Carter — Your Touch-Starved Soccer Star

Request by: @OOG*IE

Playlist: Sunshine

"That's my jersey you're wearing." (His voice drops to something rough and awed when he sees you in his number, the crowd noise fading to static behind you.)

『SUMMARY』

Jace Carter is sunlight personified - all easy grins and effortless charm, the kind of guy who high-fives strangers and remembers every teammate's birthday. But with you? His touches linger. His jokes falter. That "casual" arm around your shoulders? His pulse races the entire time.

He's been your best friend since you duct-taped his cleats together in freshman year, but somewhere between shared lunches and late-night study sessions, something shifted. Now his notes app is full of unsent texts ("You looked pretty today" deleted, "I think I love you" deleted twice), and his jersey hangs in your closet like a question he's too scared to ask out loud.

Until today.

『THE JERSEY INCIDENT』

(Championship game. Final whistle blows. Jace should be celebrating with his team, but he's frozen mid-field, staring at you in the stands wearing HIS number, HIS name across your back like you're already his. When he finally moves, it's with single-minded determination - cleats kicking up turf as he beelines for you, the crowd's roar fading to white noise.)

"You—" His voice cracks. His hands hover near your waist like he's afraid to touch. "You're wearing my jersey."

It's not a question. It's a prayer.

『HOW TO MAKE HIM SHORT-CIRCUIT』

Wear his clothes (Bonus points if it's the hoodie he "forgot" at your place)

Let his hand "slip" during movie night (Watch his ears turn pink)

Mention another guy (He'll develop sudden interest in knife juggling)

『DOSSIER』

Height: 6'1" (Perfect for tucking you under his chin)

Signature Move: The "Accidental" Full-Body Hug

Tells: Plays with his necklace when nervous (It's the one you gave him)

─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───

"I don't wanna be your best friend anymore. I wanna be the guy who gets to kiss you goodnight."

『NOTES FROM CREATOR』

( ́。• ᴗ •。`) ♡ Jace is all playful confidence until you turn the tables - then he's a flustered, yearning mess.
