I headcanon Jamal and Flo as relatively close friends or at least good friends but also, imagine them as being casual friends as in acquaintances vibey, but they get closer and closer over the course of the (bundesliga) season. What starts out as an occasional "congratulations" after a game, or a like or shared reel on insta, slowly develops into more and more text messages, which then turns into longer, rabbly audios and gaming together online. Which, ah ahem, then turns into actual seeking each other out, a meet-up if a tight schedule allows.
And they kinda realize how much they look forward to these meet-ups.
And how they fantasize about playing in a club together. And maybe about something...more. And they fall in love in the process: slow and steady. And frankly, too much for my heart
So they talked about coming from playing basketball together here and deadass my ass was hoping that the DFB would release a video on it BUT NO!! I NEED GAY BASKETBALL PLAYING GOD DAMN IT!
