Hello my name is Kee and I'm halfway through season 2 of Ted Lasso for the fourth time and I only just realized that the white animal on the Richmond badge is not an inexplicable little lamb but their oft mentioned mascot, ie a greyhound.

yes, and? denki k.
Tumblr media
denki kaminari is your ex boyfriend, of course he’s jealous when he sees other men in your text messages, can’t help it.
when he first ever really thought about you being with other men after the breakup, it was when he was supposed to be over your house because he needed to pick up some stuff—but you invited him in to look at the screws on your bedframe and..try them out.
denki sat next to you on the couch, cuddled up on the couch he bought you while he watched some football game on the tv. that is until he went to grab the remote and happened to notice you have men in your message list! what the hell!!
he felt his heart drop all the way into his stomach, furious he sat up to confront you. i mean what the hell was your problem?! didn’t he fuck you good enough to be the only man in your phone?
“what!! you’re texting other guys?!”
“huh?”
and you’d look up from your phone to your ex boyfriends overly offended face with a hand on his chest. the tv in the background let off cheering noises as someone got tackled.
“denki.. we already broke up”
“so let’s get back together then?? quick fix.”
he sat up with a frown on his face, making you sit up in turn and look at him. what?! you’d been broken up for months, and he was talking to other girls too!
“denki you are seriously out of your mind”
you brushed him off, settling back into your spot on the couch and opening your phone again, but not without another deeply offended face clouded over his previous one as he got all the way up, standing up now.
“im not— serious lets date again. right now, let’s get back together”
“?!—“
in the same beat your ex boyfriend scooped you up from the couch and sprinted into the bedroom, you hanging over his shoulder kicking your feet. once there, he let you kick your way off him and onto your once shared bed.
denki pulled his t-shirt off his head and threw it to an unknown corner in the room. you didn’t complain, sitting on your knees and waiting for him to say something—should you be turned on or weirded out?
“what the hell is this?”
“we’re gonna make up”
he whispered, unbuckling the belt on his jeans and zipping his fly down right before he started paying more attention to you. your ex? boyfriend pulled you towards him so you were almost crawling as he kissed you.
even while you should’ve you didn’t hesitate to kiss him back, matching his slow rhythm and letting him lay you down on your back, crawling on top of you.
“after this you better not talk to any guy other than me..”

Yandere! Cheerleader and Football Player
Tumblr media
Pairing: OC x GN! Reader x OC
Warnings: none
A/N: first post! There will be more in depth post describing both of these two so stay tune!
Tumblr media
‌You, however, you don't really know where you are on the food chain. You're not the lowest nor the highest, so you're kinda confused. It didn't really bother you since people seemed to not notice you that much. You don't really have anyone close to you in school, maybe a few acquaintances but no one close you can call as a friend.
Jake and Lana, king and queen of Silver Oak Highschool. Most popular, most loved (debatable) and the most well known students in your school. Everyone knows them, everyone wants to be with them or be them. Whatever it is, they're on the top of the food chain
‌You joined the schools news club because you really didn't know what else to do, plus the students there are friendly and chill. Because of this you sometimes meet Jake and Lana to do interviews for the schools newspaper. They're the "It Couple" but you have to admit they did always lead the schools football and cheerleading team to victory.
‌Lana was a typical mean girl, like Regina George oddly enough, but she is...nice to you? There's always a sharp smile on her face, hugging you tightly when you meet up for an interview like you're her best friend. She's always close when you're asking questions, her thigh touching yours or bumping her shoulder to yours. It was weird but you brushed it off quickly. She never bothered you enough so why get mad anyway?
‌Jake is a nice guy too, he's quiet and reserved but still smiles at you when you meet in passing. You don't really mind him honestly, but your other peers in the news club did say he's more stoic when members besides you do interviews with him.
‌After a few interviews, you noticed they're more trying to get closer to you. Offering to eat lunch together (you denied, not big on crowded tables), offering you a ride home (also denied because you have your own car), and the list goes on and on. Lana seems pouty before trying to persuade you again with more force. Jake accepts defeat after one try, but you did notice his smile was more tense as he drags Lana away.
‌Nonetheless, you're life was mundane to say the least. Not aware that the couple was infatuated with you for a long time and is trying to pursue you "normally" as they would say.
‌Lana was already attracted to you since middle school. Although you both never really talked so much, you did get grouped in for a project that made Lana loved you since the moment she saw you. You were so...boring, so mundane that in her life full of excitement she would say that you're more of a grounding territory for her.
‌Every time you interviewed her, she mindlessly listens as she observes your clothes, hair, and to the smallest details on your face. Both of you are so different yet she yearns to be with you, to hold you freely and be together.
‌She dated Jake because she did love him and she wants to share her love for you with Jake. So in the end, he got roped in too. Jake's obsession with you is more slow, he's more attentive and watching you day to day. He appreciates how you never really looked annoyed or put off by Lana (he knew she had a reputation) and just overall likes you in general.
‌Their tendencies differ from each other but they agree that they want to pursue you together. They want you to be with them. Both are filthy rich and they like to use it to their advantage (buying lunch, giving away small trinkets that you like).
‌Lana doesn't have as much patience as Jake does though. So the more you decline their attempts to woo you, the more annoyed and tense Lana becomes. She wants you to be with them before you all finished high school, but a small voice in her head is always reminding her to not scare you away. She doesn't want you to be scared of her or run away! And that's where Jake comes in.
‌He likes to hold Lana back if she tries anything that might ruin their chances. He likes to be with you as soon as possible but he knows they have to be more mindful of their surroundings. They have an image and reputation to uphold, and although he knows no one will believe if you tattle on them, he just wants to be blindly faithful of their image. The perfect pair, the king and queen of Silver Oak Highschool.
‌The more you try to deny them, the more aggressive their acts are. But so far, you had been a darling for them. Granted you're a bit awkward to their approach but you're not denying them outright. So they might have a chance in the future!

Tumblr media
mark tapped his pen against his notebook, waiting for the minutes the pass by. he could hear dozens of conversations happening around him, but none of them were directed at him. it never was.
maybe it was because of the constant note taking or the stack of files he always carried, but most just assumed that he was stuck up. too smart to hang out with anyone, too focused on his grades to waste time socialising.
but in reality - he just didn’t know how to talk to people.
mark sighed, slouching further into his chair. he flipped through his notes, trying to focus but his mind kept getting distracted. he was supposed to tutor some girl after school - he didn’t even know who it was.
all the tutoring office said was that she would be meeting him at the library after his classes. he hoped that this session would be easier than his last, especially after that student ignored him and stuck to their phone the whole time.
mark glanced at his watch - ten minutes until the tutor session started. he gathered his things, stuffing his notebooks and textbooks into his bag before heading over to the library.
“just get this over with,” he muttered to himself.
he approached the row of tables reserved for tutoring, laying out the different notes and materials he had. the chances of him actually using them were low - after all, a lot of students booked tutoring sessions just to get their teachers off of their back, but it didn’t hurt to look like he was teaching something.
the squeak of a chair being pulled across him snapped him out of his thoughts. he looked up and froze.
it was you.
of course he recognised you, who wouldn’t? you were one of the prettiest girls on campus, scratch that, you were one of the prettiest girls mark has ever seen.
within the first month of school, you already landed a boyfriend - one of the popular senior football players. you were pretty and friendly, it was only natural that you were going to find someone that fast.
not only that, you didn’t get yourself into any drama. no flirting with other guys or bitching about other people behind their back, you were one of the unproblematic ones, rarely involved in rumours.
but the rumours about you smoking? yeah, those was definitely true. you were known for showing up to class buzzed but still managing to maintain relatively decent grades.
“you’re mark, right?” you smiled as you sat down. “thanks for doing this, i really need help.”
mark blinked, pushing his glasses up nervously. “y- yeah.. no problem.”
you reached into your bag, pulling out a few sheets of crumpled paper and pens.
“chemistry’s been fucking me over,” you said, brushing your hair out of your face. “i’m more of a ‘study last minute’ kind of person, but that’s hasn’t been working out recently.”
mark cleared his throat, trying to avoid your gaze. “well, that’s what i’m here for. let’s start with the basics.”
“thanks,” you leaned back into your chair, twirling a pen between your fingers. “i know you probably don’t tutor people like me much.”
mark frowned, raising an eyebrow. “people like you?”
you shrugged, crossing your legs. “you know.. people who barely show up to class.”
“i don’t care about that,” he shook his head, rearranging the table.
“good to know,” you yawned, rubbing your eyes. “sorry if i’m a little out of it, i smoked before coming here.”
“that’s… fine,” he nodded, unsure of how to respond and opened the textbook in front of him. “you know the basics about atoms, right? let’s focus on the details.”
mark walked you through the lesson, trying not to stumble over his words as you watched him intently. to his surprise, you didn’t just sit back and zone out like many did, you actually asked questions. and for someone who didn’t turn up much for class, you weren’t as lost as you made it sound.
the session went smoother than he thought, with him covering a few key concepts and giving you some notes to bring back and revise. you packed up your things at the end, flashing him a smile. “thanks mark, same time next week?”
he nodded slowly. “works for me.”
and you showed up - again and again.
at first, mark thought it was some weird obligation that you had towards either him or the tutoring system. but days turned into weeks, and it was clear: you weren’t just attending. you were learning.
he couldn’t believe it - someone like you, popular, the complete opposite of him, was actually listening to him.
you were taking his advice, asking questions, doing practices that he suggested and you even asked to see him everyday because you wanted to learn more. it was.. strange, but mark wasn’t complaining.
you set your pen down as you finished up with one of the problems. you looked up at him with a grin. “i think i finally did it.”
mark’s eyes widened, looking down at the worksheet. it was right, perfect even. “you- you actually got it. that’s.. good.”
you laughed, your voice light. “why do you sound so surprised? you’re a tutor.”
he rubbed the back of his neck. “i’m just.. not used to people listening to me.”
“why wouldn’t i?” you asked, tilting your head. “you’re good at teaching- you explain shit better than my professor.”
mark stared at you, wondering why his heart was beating a little faster than usual. you gathered your things, swinging your bag over your shoulder. “see you tomorrow, mark.”
“yeah,” mark said quietly, still stunned. “see you tomorrow.”
⋆。𖦹°‧★.☘︎ ݁⋆。𖦹°‧★.☘︎ ݁
“i got a seventy on my test!” you exclaimed, glowing with excitement as you waved your worksheet in front of him.
it had been about two months since you’ve started your sessions with mark, and your grades improved. you went from barely knowing anything about the subject to being able to solve complex problems - and it’s all thanks to mark.
you’ve grown to really appreciate the guy, and not just for his tutoring skills, but for his patience that he had when teaching you, especially when you asked a ton of questions.
“that’s great! i’m really proud of you,” mark said, a wide smile on his face. “you’re improving a lot.”
“well, it’s because of you. you’re super smart,” you said as you leaned back into the chair. “i’m surprised you don’t have a line of girls waiting for your attention.”
mark ran his fingers through his hair, giving a small, awkward chuckle. to be completely honest, mark did not have luck in the dating scene. even though he entered college, thinking that it was a place to meet new people - potentially a partner, his reputation of being ‘stuck up’ clung to him faster than he could blink.
but after a while, he got tired of being viewed that way, and he got tired of being single. right now, he needed to make changes, something that would make him more likeable or ‘relatable’ to others. but there was one problem: he didn’t know where to start.
“hey uh-“ mark said as he placed his notes on the table. “can i ask you something?”
“sure,” you nodded.
mark fidgeted with the edge of his textbook. “what do girls find cool.. or attractive in a guy.”
you paused, tilting your head. “that’s random. why do you ask?”
“i want to change things..” mark looked away, shifting in his seat uncomfortably. “you know, things about me. i just wanted to know what girls liked nowadays.”
“you don’t need to change anything,” you frowned, leaning towards him. “you’re perfect just the way you are.”
“thank you-” mark felt a slight blush rising in his cheeks, but he ignored it, focusing on his question. “-but i really want girls to notice me, i don’t know what i’m doing wrong.”
you scoffed. “you’re not doing anything wrong. it’s their fault if they can’t see what an amazing guy you are…”
“…but you really want to know, huh?” you mumbled, crossing your arms.
mark finally looked back at you, nodding eagerly. you sighed, thinking about his question before continuing. “i don’t know what girls find ‘cool’ nowadays, but i think piercings are hot.”
“really?” mark’s eyes widened in surprise, not expecting that as your answer. “your boyfriend doesn’t have piercings.”
“he doesn’t like them, said that they weren’t his style,” you shrugged. “but i don’t care, everyone has their own thing.”
mark bit the inside of his cheek, tapping his foot against the floor out of habit. “where would someone go if they wanted piercings? you know- if i wanted one?”
“i actually did my own,” you said, tucking your hair behind as you showed him the variety of piercings on your ear. “it’s not too bad as long as you know what you’re doing.”
“you did them yourself?” mark’s eyes widened in surprise. “would you uh- could you do it for me..?”
you chuckled, nodding. “sure, if you really want to.”
“just let me know when you’re up for it and come over to my place,” you said with a wink. “and don’t worry, i’ll make sure it’s safe.”
⋆。𖦹°‧★.☘︎ ݁⋆。𖦹°‧★.☘︎ ݁
the smell of weed and smoke hit mark as soon as he entered your dorm. the windows were cracked open, but it didn’t do much to clear the air. a bag of green leaves sat on your coffee table next to a small glass pipe.
“sorry about the mess,” you said, waving your hand lazily to try and remove the smoke. “you kinda texted me in the middle of something.”
“sorry, i can leave if you-“
“nonono you can stay,” you grabbed his arm, bringing him over to the couch. “make yourself comfortable. it’s totally fine.”
mark sat down, trying not to focus on the haze in the air while you disappeared into another room. you came back a few moments later, holding a small case of needles, disinfecting wipes and jewelry.
“so, you’re very sure about this?” you asked as you sat beside him, spreading your supplies on the coffee table.
“yeah, i’m sure..” mark swallowed the lump in his throat. “i just don’t know what to get pierced.”
you looked at him for a second, then nodded. “alright, let me help you decide.” you scooted closer, grabbing his face, turning it from side to side as you inspected it.
your fingers on his skin made him more flustered than he’d like to admit, and he was sure that the heat rising to his face was noticeable. he couldn’t help but stare at you while you were so close, watching your wide eyes scan him.
“hmm,” you mumbled, slowly letting go of his face. “nose piercing.”
mark blinked, his mind taking a moment to catch up. “a nose piercing..?”
“mhm, it suits you,” you nodded as you grabbed your case of needles. “but if you don’t want a hole on your face, that’s fine. we can do your ears-“
“-no a nose piercing sounds good,” mark sat up straighter, nodding. he didn’t want to seem indecisive in front of you - not when you were giving him this much attention.
you smiled at his sudden enthusiasm, and picked up a fake nose ring and a mirror. “try this on first, see if you like how it looks.”
mark took the ring and mirror, ignoring how shaky his hands felt. he awkwardly held the ring up to his nose as he looked into the mirror. he thought he looked.. alright. there wasn’t as much as a difference as much as he’d like - but if you thought that it suited him, maybe he could trust that.
“well?” you asked, tilting your head.
he looked back at you, handing over your things. “i think it’s fine.”
“fine?” you grinned. “you look cool, trust me.”
mark chuckled nervously, fidgeting with his sleeves. “okay, let’s do it.”
you cleaned the area with a disinfectant wipe before pulling out a fresh needle and small nose ring from your kit, turning back to mark. “alright, this won’t hurt much. just a pinch.”
mark nodded, shifting nervously on the couch, trying to prepare himself as you moved closer to him.
“here,” you said, gently placing two fingers on his chin, guiding his face towards you. “stay still for me, okay?”
your closeness made it difficult for mark to focus. he could feel your breath, warm against his skin. and the smell of weed and vanilla scented perfume that always stuck to your clothes took over his senses.
his first instinct was to look directly at you - your eyes, your lips - but he quickly moved his gaze down to your hand instead, trying to keep his mind from wandering.
“don’t worry, i’ve done this a lot,” you reassured him, brushing a stray hair off of his face before your fingers returned to his chin.
mark felt a blush creeping up his neck. he glanced down at the coffee table, your bag, at the posters on your walls - anywhere but at your face or the way your body was leaning in. he gulped, feeling how you were aligning the needle.
“ready?” you asked, your voice soft.
he nodded, squeezing his eyes shut for a brief second before opening them quickly again when he realised how silly that looked. you pressed the needle through his nose, making mark wince slightly out of shock - but before he could fully register the pain, it was over.
“there, all done,” you said, your fingers lingering on his face as you fixed the small hoop in place. “that wasn’t too bad, right?”
mark exhaled, finally looking at you in the eyes as you leaned back. “yeah.. it wasn’t too bad.”
he reached up to touch the new piercing, still avoiding to look at you for too long. his face was warm, and he could still feel the ghost on your fingers on his cheek. his heart was pounding in his ear, but he kept his cool - after all, you had a boyfriend.
you smiled at him, clearly pleased. “told you it’d suit you. you look good, mark.”
good? mark pushed down the fluttering feeling he had in his chest, clearing his throat. “thanks..”
⋆。𖦹°‧★.☘︎ ݁⋆。𖦹°‧★.☘︎ ݁
during your next tutoring session, mark fidgeted with his new piercing, still getting used to how it felt. his eyes kept going back to you as you sat across him, completely focused on the problem he gave you.
“what else can i do?” he asked, breaking the silence. you glanced up, raising an eyebrow. mark cleared his throat, quickly blurting out, “to.. you know, change.”
you frowned, shaking your head. “mark, you really don’t need to do anything. you’re fine just the way you are.”
mark sighed, a little frustrated. “i know- you keep saying that.. but i want to do more.”
“well, it’s really not about how you look.” you paused, scanning him up and down. “but you need to start putting yourself out there. like, talk to people.”
mark blinked as he repeated your words. “talk to people?” he could barely talk to you without stuttering every few sentences, what made you think that he would be good enough to talk to other people? “how do i do that?”
you laughed softly, like it was the easiest thing in the world. “well, you’re already talking to me. all you need is a group of people to hang out with.”
mark looked up, meeting your eyes. “can i- can i hang out with you..?”
the words fell out of his mouth before he could even catch it. as soon as it did, he could feel his heart sinking. you could easily reject this idea - after all, you didn’t know each other that long.
he started to regret asking this question, feeling a bead of sweat run down his cheek. stupid. why did he ask that?
but then, to his surprise, he saw a smile form on your face. “sure,” you said casually, completely unaware of how he was spiralling. “i mean- the only person i really hang out with is my boyfriend, but i’m sure he’s fine with it. you can come with us, no big deal.”
mark nodded, trying to hide his relief. of course it was a big deal.
he was one step closer to actually having friends in college. even though mark had been meeting you for about three months, you only ever saw each other for tutoring sessions - which became less frequent recently.
sure, being a third wheel in your hangouts with your boyfriend might suck for a while, but if it meant having a friend? anything was better than drowning in textbooks as everyone else seemed to have their own lives.
this was his chance to get out of that - and he was going to take it.
⋆。𖦹°‧★.☘︎ ݁⋆。𖦹°‧★.☘︎ ݁
mark found himself hanging out with you and your boyfriend, tagging along in outings or ‘study sessions’ - which always started focused but would eventually lead to the both of you high, leaving mark awkwardly sitting in the middle of laughter and clouds of smoke. but he didn’t mind.
you lit a joint, inhaling deeply before passing it over to your boyfriend, who took it without a word. “want one?” you offered mark, turning to him.
“uh, no thanks,” he replied.
“suit yourself,” you said as you leaned back, smoke falling lazily from your lips.
your boyfriend was nice enough, trying his best to get along with mark, but there was always a distance there. mark could sense the slight discomfort whenever you invited him along. still, your boyfriend tried to hide it, clearly making an effort to be respectful and not push your new friend away.
still, it wasn’t all bad. in fact, there was a moment that felt.. a little different from the rest. like when you and mark were in the middle of your usual tutor sessions.
he was explaining a new concept to you, one that you managed to understand and focus on for a while - until mark’s phone lit up with a notification, revealing his wallpaper which had a character from your favourite series.
“wait, you watch the show?” you asked, your eyes lighting up as you pointed to his phone.
mark blinked, cutting his explanation short. “yeah.. you know it?”
“know it? dude- that’s like my favourite thing to see when i’m high,” you said with a grin, leaning closer. “i watch it all the time.”
mark chuckled. “seriously? i didn’t know you liked stuff like this.”
“it has a good plot, what can i say?” you said as you tucked your legs onto the chair. “plus, that show is hilarious when you’re baked.”
he couldn’t help but smile - it was rare to find someone who was interested in the same, niche things he did. and now, here you were, talking about it like it was the most normal thing in the world.
the two of you spent the next hour geeking over the show - talking about your favourite episodes, characters and moments that had you both on the floor.
at some point, you pulled out your phone and scrolled through screenshots of your favourite scenes, laughing as you shared them with him.
and that’s when it hit mark.
he was starting to like you. not just because you enjoyed the same things as him or actually took the time to get to know him - but you never made him feel like he had to be someone else around you.
you made him feel like a person, someone that didn’t need to change.
mark felt his heart clench. he pushed his feelings down, reminding himself that you had a boyfriend. but as he spent more time with you, it became harder to ignore. he was falling for you - slowly, without meaning to.
he glanced at you, still laughing at a clip on your phone, and mark could feel his heart racing. while he could pass off his feelings for you as a ‘simple crush’, the truth was far from that.
he wanted to be around you more, he wanted to make you smile, he wanted to make you laugh, he wanted to be the one that would hear you talk about random things that happened in your day, he wanted to be by your side, helping you with whatever you need.
but you’re taken, he reminded himself. no matter how much he tried to shove his feelings down, they kept bubbling up. and the more he denied them, the stronger they grew.
still, he kept quiet. for now, he was your friend, and he was happy with that - or at least that’s what he told himself.
⋆。𖦹°‧★.☘︎ ݁⋆。𖦹°‧★.☘︎ ݁
a few months passed, and in that time, mark gained more confidence - both in his appearance and in himself.
he started working out more, hoping that it would distract him from the feelings he had for you. while he did get healthier, one thing never changed: his massive crush on you.
he would always feel guilty when his heart raced whenever you spent time together, after all, you were in a relationship. but it was especially hard to suppress his feelings when you were sitting next to him, looking at him with twinkling eyes.
“do you understand?” mark looked up from his notebook.
you nodded, your attention moving back to your paper when suddenly - your phone buzzed.
you glanced at it, your expression changing as you read the notification. mark noticed the change immediately - you sat up straighter, your fingers gripping your phone more tighter than before.
“what’s wrong?” mark asked, frowning.
you took in a deep breath, turning your phone to show him a message you got on instagram.
“my friend just sent me this,” you clicked on the photo, and mark’s heart sank as he saw your boyfriend, sitting in the cafeteria with another girl - kissing her.
you stood up abruptly, pushing your chair back with a scrape. “i need to go,” you muttered, already halfway out the door.
“wait- where are you going?” mark called out, grabbing his jacket as he followed you out of the building.
“to the cafeteria,” you choked out, wiping tears with the back of your hand.
by the time you arrived, your hands were trembling. sure enough, there he was - your boyfriend, his arms around a girl in the middle of the busy cafeteria, completely oblivious to the world around him. rage and heartbreak hit you at once, and before you could stop yourself, you were shouting across the room.
“are you kidding me?”
heads turned, but at this point, you didn’t care. your boyfriend looked up, his face shocked before it turned into something.. detached. “oh come on, like you’re not cheating on me with mark?” he shot back, a shit-eating grin plastered on his face.
your eyes widened. “what the hell are you talking about? i’ve never cheated on you.”
“right,” he snorted, leaning into the girl next to him. “you’re always hanging out with him and talking to him like he’s the only one in the room. i’m not stupid.”
you were seething, tears brimming in your eyes. “i’ve been loyal to you- every single second of this relationship. i would never do that to you. but clearly, you don’t think the same.”
his smirk faded, but you didn’t wait for him to respond. you left, leaving him and his excuses behind.
mark followed you, but he didn’t say anything. you turned to him, your face stained with tears. “i can’t be in public right now,” you mumbled, your voice breaking.
he nodded, allowing you to lead him back to your dorm. soon enough, you slammed the door open, frantically searching your drawers for something. mark watched, his chest tightening when he realised what you were looking for - your stash of weed.
he stepped forward, placing his hand over yours. “that’s not a good idea.”
you sniffed, curling up into a ball. “but i don’t know what to do, it hurts.”
mark froze. he’s never been in a position where he had to comfort someone. but he knew one thing - the sight of you, broken and vulnerable, made his heart ache.
he sat beside you on the floor, his arms hesitating for a moment before wrapping around your shoulders. you leaned into him, letting out a shaky breath as you sobbed quietly into his chest.
“i don’t get it,” you whispered, clutching his shirt. “i thought he loved me.”
mark closed his eyes, his mind racing - but now wasn’t the time for his own feelings. right now, you needed comfort.
he rested his chin on top of your head, holding you tighter. “i’m so sorry,” he muttered. “you deserve much more than him.”
“i feel so stupid,” you said, your voice muffled by his shoulder. you stayed like that for what felt like an eternity, the sounds of your sobs filling the room.
eventually, you pulled back slightly, wiping the trails of tears on your face. “sorry about that. i probably look horrible right now,” you mumbled, letting out a sad laugh. “i’m not a pretty crier.”
mark frowned, his thumb gently brushing the tears that were on your cheek. “that’s not true,” he said softly. “you’re always beautiful.”
you blinked, your tear-filled eyes widening just a bit. “you don’t have to say that-“
“-i mean it,” mark interrupted. his eyes softened, his hand still resting on your cheek. “and you don’t have to apologise for feeling hurt. none of this is your fault.”
for a second, you just stared at him, his words sinking in. you wiped your face again, giving a weak smile. “thank you, mark. i’m so lucky to have you.”
mark’s hand finally dropped from your cheek, his eyes never leaving yours. “yeah,” he said quietly. “lucky.”
⋆。𖦹°‧★.☘︎ ݁⋆。𖦹°‧★.☘︎ ݁
weeks passed since that night and you had officially dumped your trash of a boyfriend. even though the wound was still fresh, mark noticed something.. different about you.
you were smiling more, laughing more.
you were always fun to be around, but now.. you were glowing - in a way that made it impossible for mark to ignore his feelings.
he knew it was wrong - he was supposed to be your friend, not falling for you. but as much as he tried to keep it together, jealousy would creep up from time to time
whenever you two hung out, guys would approach you - asking for your number, trying to get your attention or just flirting boldly.
you always declined, never showing much interest, but mark couldn’t help but feel jealous flare up within him. it was irrational, he knew that. he was just your friend, not your boyfriend. yet, the idea of you being with someone else ate him alive.
it didn’t help that the two of you had a weekly routine - after every tutoring session, you’d curl up together to watch your favourite comfort show. it became your thing, something that mark cherished more than he’d like to admit.
during one of your usual nights, he glanced over at you, sitting comfortably beside him. “why do you always turn them down?” he blurted out, trying to sound casual but failing miserably.
“huh?” you looked at him, confused. “turn who down?”
mark cleared his throat, suddenly feeling embarrassed. “the guys.. i mean- every time we hang out, someone would hit on you, and you always reject them..” he hesitated, unsure of how to continue. “..i just wondered why.”
you chuckled softly, leaning back into the couch. “they’re not my type,” you said, shrugging.
“w- what is your type then?” he blinked, his curiosity got to the better of him.
you raised an eyebrow, smirking slightly as you leaned closer. “you.”
mark froze, his brain short-circuiting for a second. you? did you just..? his face flushed instantly and he opened his mouth to respond, but nothing came out. his mind scrambled to come up with something coherent, but all he could think about was the way your words made his heart skip several beats.
you laughed, clearly amused. “relax, mark,” you said with a grin, moving away and focusing on the TV. “i’m just messing with you.”
he chuckled awkwardly, running his fingers through his hair. “right.”
but after you returned back to the show, there was only one question that stuck to the back of his mind:
what if you weren’t just joking?
⋆。𖦹°‧★.☘︎ ݁⋆。𖦹°‧★.☘︎ ݁
rumours began to flood in not long after you broke up with your ex. you and mark had always spent time together, but now that you were single, people seemed to notice more - and they definitely had opinions.
“she broke up with the hottie just to hang out with him?”
“guess she was cheating with that loser the whole time.”
it didn’t take long for the whispers to reach the both of you, and you could see how much it was affecting mark. he was used to insults being thrown his way, but now that they were dragging you into it? it felt worse.
as you and mark were grabbing coffee after a tutoring session, a couple of girls at the next table were whispering loud enough for you to hear.
“she just dumped her boyfriend and now she’s with him? what a slut.”
you saw mark’s face tighten as he overheard, his fists clenching. the rumours didn’t bother you as much as him, but it pained you to see how upset he was.
“let’s go,” you muttered, grabbing your coffee as you motioned him to follow you.
as you walked outside, mark seemed quieter than usual, his shoulders slumped. he glanced at you, looking away quickly, his jaw clenched. “i’m sorry.”
you frowned, tilting your head. “for what?”
“people keep saying stuff about you because of me,” mark kept his eyes fixed on the ground. “you don’t deserve to have people spreading rumours like that.”
you stopped walking, grabbing his arm. “mark, stop. this has nothing to do with you, okay? people just talk for the sake of talking.”
mark’s eyes softened. as much as he wanted to believe that you didn’t care what people thought, but he couldn’t shake off the guilt. it wasn’t fair to you. you deserved more than what he could offer, and as much as he hated your ex, at least people respected you when you were with him.
in the days after that, mark tried his best to act normal. but he thought about the whispers every time you were together. whenever someone glanced your way or made an offhand comment, it felt like a punch to the gut.
you on the other hand, brushed off all the remarks, giving him a smile when he started to look too worried. but even then, he felt guilty.
without realising it at first, mark started to.. distance himself from you. it wasn’t that he didn’t want to be around you - it was far from that. he just didn’t know how to deal with the guilt gnawing at him.
he’d watch you from across the lecture hall, a strange feeling twisting in his stomach. you would wave at him, but instead of feeling happy, it only made him feel worse. the thought of being the reason of why people started rumours about you haunted him.
sometimes, you would text him, asking if he wanted to hang out like dozens of times before. mark stared at the screen, his thumb hovering over the send button.
he wanted to say yes. he always wanted to say yes.
but instead, he typed out: sorry, not today. got a lot of work to do.
it was a lie, but he convinced himself that distancing himself from you was the best move - it would save you from gossip, from judgement.
but you noticed his weird behaviour.
at your next tutoring session, he barely looked at you. instead of cracking your inside jokes or teaching you topics with excitement, mark kept his head down, focusing too much on the textbook in front of him.
“did i do something wrong?” you asked, frowning.
hearing the hurt in your voice made his chest tighten. the last thing he wanted was for you to think that this was your fault. “no,” he said quickly, too quickly.
“then what is it?” you leaned forward, your eyes narrowing. “you’ve been avoiding me. we don’t hang out anymore, and even if we do, you’re quiet.”
mark hesitated, trying to find the right words. how could he explain that every time you defended him or stood by his side, it made him feel worse? how could he tell you that you being around him was hurting your social life and he couldn’t stand to see people talking about you that way?
“i don’t think you should hang out with me anymore,” mark sighed, his face in his hands. “i’m only ruining your reputation.”
“ruining my reputation?” you paused, looking at him with genuine confusion. “mark, i don’t care about stupid shit like that. i hang out with you because i want to.”
mark gulped, his throat tight as he processed your words. “..i just don’t get why you still want to be friends with me.”
“i’m not going to stop being friends with you because people are talking,” you shook your head. “you’re important to me. i don’t care about them- i care about you.”
the way you said it so casually, like it was obvious, made mark feel a lot better than he thought it would. it wasn’t something that he was used to, and he didn’t know how to respond.
over the next few weeks, the two of you began to hang out again, returning back to your lame jokes, late-night movie marathons and study sessions. it was like nothing had changed, but at the same time, everything felt different. mark was relaxed around you again, but there was still an underlying tension that neither of you acknowledged.
sometimes, you would catch yourself looking at him longer than usual, noticing things you didn’t before - the way his eyes crinkled when he laughed, how his hair fell messily over his forehead whenever he explained something to you or how he always shifted his posture when he got nervous.
maybe it was because mark had been there during your breakup, but you knew there was something more than that.
you found yourself thinking about him at random moments, wondering what he was doing or feeling. every time he laughed, warmth would spread through your chest - and you liked the sound a lot more than you’d like to admit, but you weren’t sure why you were feeling this way.
until one night.
it was a particularly long tutoring session and the both of you had been stressed over an exam. once mark finished explaining a difficult question, you leaned back with a sigh of relief.
“i don’t know what i’d do without you,” you grinned.
mark glanced at you before quickly looking away. “you’d do just fine,” he mumbled, clearly flustered by the compliment.
you didn’t know why, but in that moment, it suddenly clicked. the way his face flushed whenever you praised him, how kind he had always been to you, how he was always there when you were down, and how safe you felt around him.
for the first time since your break up, you started to wonder if the person meant for you was in front of your face all along. sure, you didn’t know if the way he acted was because he liked you or it was his social awkwardness shining, but you knew one thing.
you were starting to fall for mark lee.
⋆。𖦹°‧★.☘︎ ݁⋆。𖦹°‧★.☘︎ ݁
you groaned, walking beside mark as you left the exam hall. “i’m definitely failing that.”
mark chuckled, glancing at you with a soft smile. “come on, it wasn’t that bad. we went through some questions like that, right?”
“yeah, but the questions we did were for college students, not astronauts,” you muttered.
mark laughed. “guess we’re intergalactic geniuses.”
“you’re so lame,” you rolled your eyes but you couldn’t help the smile forming on your face. as stressful as the exam was, mark would always try to make things better. he just had that kind of presence, the kind that made everything a little easier to handle.
he looked around for a second, trying to gauge your mood before turning back to you. “so.. movie night?”
“you don’t even need to ask,” you smirked, dragging him over to your dorm before he could say anything.
you kicked off your shoes and immediately threw yourself onto the comfort of your own couch, mark following close behind. he set up the movie without asking what to watch, already knowing your favourite shows by heart.
the weeks after your exams passed in a blur. unsurprisingly, the both of you did well - what else could you expect from someone as smart and focused as mark? his tutoring really paid off, even if it felt like you barely survived the questions.
with the stress of exams gone, you and mark had more free time to try new things. movie nights turned into cafe hopping, and tutoring sessions turned into karaoke. you even had time to get new piercings - on your ears and tongue.
mark was still awkward at times, still shy when you complimented him. but the both of you had gotten really comfortable around each other, talking about random things that happened throughout your day.
it felt like you were seeing him for who he was. it wasn’t just that he was smart or kind, there was something deeper than that - and maybe that was what pulled you to him.
after a long day, the both of you entered your dorm, carrying bags filled with different snacks. you needed more food and mark brought you to a really nice convenient store with chips and sweets you’ve never seen before.
your favourite show played in the background as you sprawled out on the couch, resting your head against the armrest as mark sat at the opposite end, quietly scrolling through his phone.
you looked at him, noticing how he was awkwardly fidgeting, his eyes glanced at you every few seconds before shifting away again. it was almost.. cute how nervous he was.
you moved closer to him, close enough to where your arms brushed against each other, sending a small jolt of electricity up your arms. you could hear the way his breath hitched in his throat as you turned to him.
“mark,” you spoke, your voice soft in the quiet room. “why do you always look away when i get close to you?”
mark’s face turned red, and for a second, he seemed too flustered to speak. “i.. i don’t,” he stammered, his eyes darting to your lips before looking down at his lap. “i don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“you just did it,” you chuckled. “am i that ugly to look at?”
“no-“ mark shook his head vigorously, his heart pounding in his ear. “it’s just hard to focus when your so close,” he gulped.
you raised an eyebrow, a smirk forming on your face as you shifted closer, your knees touching his. “why’s that?”
mark fidgeted nervously, still not looking at you. “it’s.. i’m not used to being this close with someone,” he muttered, his voice barely above a whisper.
you bit your lip, trying to stop the laugh threatening to escape your lips. “well, you should get used to it, mark. i’m not going anywhere.”
his face grew impossibly red, and when he finally looked at you, his gaze flickered between your eyes and your lips, before he quickly looked away again.
“i don’t think i’ll ever get used to it,” he said, his voice strained. “not when it’s with you.”
you leaned back slightly, your eyes widening in surprise. “what do you mean?”
mark hesitated for a moment, swallowing hard before forcing himself to speak. “i mean- you’re not just anyone to me,” he muttered, playing with the edge of shirt.
your heart skipped a beat as his words sank in. while you weren’t sure if he actually liked you, hearing it from him made your chest have a fluttering feeling.
“you’ve been more than just a friend to me for a while now..” he turned to you as he ran his fingers through his hair. “but i never said anything because.. well- you had a boyfriend and i didn’t want to ruin things between us.”
“i..” you whispered. “i thought you were just-“
“-awkward?” mark finished for you, laughing nervously. “yeah, that too.”
you looked at him, a little shocked. the man, who always supported you, taught you, was patient with you, actually liked you? everything was falling into place a lot better that you’d thought.
however, mark took your silence as a sign of rejection, stumbling over his words. “it’s fine if you don’t like me, i just-“
“-mark,” you interrupted, putting your hand on his shoulder. “it’s okay.”
he froze, his eyes meeting yours. for a moment, the two of you stared at each other, the silence growing heavier with each second. the only thing you could hear was the noise from the tv, and even then, it started to fade away.
“have you-“ you took in a deep breath, hesitating before you spoke. “have you ever.. kissed someone before?”
he blinked, his entire body tensing at the question. “i uh- i’ve never..”
“do you want to?”
mark’s breath caught in his throat, and you could see the nervous excitement flash in his eyes. yet, his face flushed with embarrassment as he spoke. “..but i don’t have a lot of experience.”
you giggled softly. “that’s okay,” you whispered, leaning in a little closer, your lips barely inches away from his. “we don’t have to if you don’t want to.”
mark’s heart pounded in his chest, and for a while, he didn’t move. he wanted to - desperately, but what if he messed it up? what if he wasn’t as good as you expected?
but then, in that moment, he realised that this is what he wanted. he wanted you. even if he didn’t know exactly what he was doing, he wanted to try.
“i.. i do,” he whispered.
you smiled, your hands cupping his cheek, your thumb brushing softly against his skin. “then let me show you,” you said.
you leaned in, slowly, giving mark all the time in the world to pull away if he wanted. but he didn’t. instead, he closed the distance, his lips meeting yours.
it was slow and careful, almost hesitant - but you didn’t rush him. you let him find his rhythm, your lips moving gently against his, guiding him.
the kiss deepened slightly, and mark’s breath hitched as your tongue brushed against his, the cool metal of your piercing surprising him. he let out a small gasp as he pulled back. “you have a-“
“a piercing?” you said, showing your tongue just a bit. “sorry, i forgot to tell you.”
mark blinked, looking at your tongue then back at your eyes. “i- it’s fine.. i just didn’t expect it.”
you smiled, finding his reaction adorable. “want to try again?”
he nodded, this time more eagerly. the second kiss felt different - still gentle, but now he was more curious. his hands moved to your waist, pulling you closer.
the coolness of your piercing made him shiver, but he didn’t move away. instead, he leaned into the kiss, like he wanted to explore more.
there was something sweet and innocent about the way he kissed you, like he was trying to memorise every second, every sensation.
you let out a small hum of approval, running your fingers through his hair, encouraging to relax a little more. you could feel him melting beneath your touch, his shoulders relaxing as your bodies pressed against each other.
you tilted your head slightly, guiding him without pushing. the way his lips moved became more confident as his fingers brushed against your skin, sending a shiver down your spine.
when the both of you pulled back, breathless, mark’s brown eyes were wide - his lips parted as he looked at you like he was still processing everything that just happened, like he couldn’t believe it was real.
“was that better?” you whispered.
mark’s cheeks turned into a bright red, his face warm as he gave a small nod. “y-yeah i think i’m starting to get used to it,” he muttered, glancing at your lips again.
“i’m glad,” you grinned, tracing your thumb against his cheek as your heart fluttered. “cause there’s gonna be a lot more coming.”
his eyes softened, his nervousness fading a little more. “i can’t focus when i’m with you,” he said with a shy laugh.
you tilted your head, brushing a strand of hair out of his face. “maybe i’m trying to distract you.”
“well, you’re doing a good job,” he admitted, his words spreading warmth through you. he was still trying to wrap his head around the fact that this was real - that you were here, with him, and not some dream he was about to wake up from.
“…i didn’t know you had a tongue piercing,” he said, his lips still tingling from the kiss.
you laughed softly. “yeah, i got it recently. what do you think?”
“i like it,” mark smiled, resting his hand on top of yours. “a lot,” he whispered, leaning in for another kiss.

(just pretend youre the dog haha)

(i'm not that good at summaries)
a/n: hi guys!! this is my very first time writing any form of story outside of school, so some feedback and constructive criticism is appreciated! also keep in mind that i don't know anything about pro footballers schedules, so i'm just guessing. english isn't my first language so please keep that in mind <3
1064 words
—----------------------------------------------------------
After snoozing your alarm for the seventh time you finally decided to wake up. It felt like you had woken up from the dead, you had the most dreadful headache ever and your throat was so sore, it felt like there was a literal porcupine inside your throat. You tiredly reached for your phone to check the time, and it read 09.52 “OH SHIT, I'M LATE, LEAH’S GOING TO KILL ME!” you exclaimed, which you quickly regretted once you burst out into a coughing fit.
-
When you first joined Arsenal at 16 years old, it was Leah who first took you under her wing. She let you live with her until you found an apartment you could move into, despite her protests of you being too young to live alone you decided to move. The first four months of you living there Leah always came over to check on you, she would have kept doing it if you hadn't complained about it all the time. She agreed to stop coming over, only if you would call her immediately if something happened.
-
You quickly dressed yourself and made some toast, and ran out the door. It was 10.14 when you finally got to the arsenal training centre. Luckily for you the girls didn't notice you coming in, since they were busy cleaning up breakfast. “Hey y/n! Where have you been? I didn’t see you coming in earlier” Beth asked you once she saw you. “Oh, i was just… sitting over there” you say awkwardly as you waved your hand to a random area. “Weird, anyways..” she said as she started rambling on about Myle and how cute she is. You were honestly not paying attention and just throwing in a random mhm and awe once in a while. You felt someone looking at you, so you looked around a bit, until you saw Leah looking intensely at you as if she was trying to figure something out. 
Leah felt like something was a little off with you, your voice was a little hoarse and you looked a little pale. She made a mental note to keep an eye on you throughout training. Beth was still rambling on about Myle and showing you pictures of her, until Leah came and interrupted “Y/N come on you’re going to be late”,  “Okayy” you sighed. 
You were walking to the pitch with Leah until you abruptly stopped as a wave of dizziness came over you, “Hey, are you alright? What happened? She asked as she put her arm around to steady you. “Yeah, I just suddenly got a little dizzy, but it's alright” you responded. Leah brushed it off, knowing you wouldn't tell her anyways.
-
You were trying to dribble the ball past Katie, until Katie went in for a tackle, which was 100% clean, but since you were sick and a little unstable you fell over onto the grass, face down. “Ey, mate you good?” Katie asked you, “Yea.. just give me second” you groaned. “Hey! What's going on?” You heard Leah yell. “I don’t know!” Katie said defensively. You heard Leah running over, and when she got to you, you felt her bend over and put a hand on your back, “Hey kid, what's wrong? Where does it hurt?” she asked softly, “My head” you whispered in a barely audible voice. “Okay” she said worriedly, she put her hand on your head, “Jesus christ, you're burning up!” she said, sounding quite distressed. She lifted you up from the ground, “Alright good girl, let’s get you inside. Okay?” Leah said softly, as she was basically carrying you, as you were barely able to stand on your own. “Okay” you mumbled, not really paying attention to what she was saying because of how much your head was pounding.
-
“She has a high fever, and is quite dehydrated. She can't train for the rest of the week and she needs lots of rest and make sure she drinks enough water..” the doctor said. “Alright, you hear that bub. Lots of rest and water” she said, while rubbing your back.
By the time you were done at the doctor, training was over. “Y/n/n training is over so i'm going to drive us to mine, okay?” Leah said. “Yeah, okay..” you said tiredly. You were in the backseat while Leah was driving. Every once in a while Leah glanced back to see how you were doing, when she looked back at you she smiled fondly at the sight of you sound asleep leaning against the window. When you made it home you were still asleep so Leah carried you inside deciding that you needed the rest. When you made it inside Leah put you softly down onto the couch, so she could keep an eye on you while she made food.
“Hey sweets wake up, I made your favourite pasta.” she whispered softly, while rubbing your back. “Mmm okay” you mumbled half asleep. After you and Leah finished eating, she took the plates and started washing them. “Thanks for the Le, it actually tasted good” you joked in your hoarse voice, “Ha ha” she said sarcastically, just as you were about to laugh you burst out into a coughing fit. Leah turned around alarmed, “Hey, hey, it's okay” she said comfortingly while she rubbed your back. Once you had settled down, she went to get something. When she came back you saw her carrying a cup of tea, “Here, it's tea for your throat”, “Thanks Leah” you mumbled.
Once you had finished your tea, you yawned and rubbed your eyes, “Let's get you to bed, alright?” Leah said, in which you just hummed in reply. You walked into the bedroom and changed into the clothes Leah lent to you, which was an old Arsenal hoodie and a pair of pyjama shorts. “Le, snuggles please?” you asked shyly when you were done changing, “Alright bub, i'm just going to change then i'll be back” she said chuckling. When she was done changing you both laid down in bed, with you laying against Leah with your head in her crook of her shoulder, and Leah hugging you while tracing aimlessly around your back. Just like you guys used to do after you had a nightmare and came into her room, when you lived together. 
Shortly after you were sound asleep in her arms.

hope you guys enjoyed! a comment or some feedback would be greatly appreciated <3

32 with Lucy, but completely platonic? so where r is a younger player that just needs some support and Lucy wants to help
nws if you don’t want to do platonic stuff :)
Tumblr media
"Why won't you let me in?"
Lucy Bronze x reader (platonic)
warnings: homesickness
summary: You feel homesick after moving to Barcelona
Barcelona had been your dream club since you first started playing football. You grew up wearing the jerseys and watching as many games as you could. That was why, as soon as you received an offer from them, you said yes immediately. You knew leaving Arsenal and saying goodbye to all your teammates would be incredibly difficult, but you could not turn down an offer from Barcelona.
You felt fine the first couple of weeks after you left your home country of England. It had almost felt like going off to another tournament and that you would be back soon. However, after two months, the novelty started to wear off, and you began to feel homesick. You didn't want to worry any of your teammates, especially your English teammates, who you knew would be very concerned if they knew how you were feeling. Lucy had always sort of taken you under her wing, and she did no different at Barcelona. However, now that she was in a newer relationship with Ona, she spent less time with you than she would have liked, and you didn't want to feel like a burden to her.
You had just approached the training grounds in your club-provided car, ready to make your way into training, but you didn't have your usual enthusiasm and energy. Once you stepped onto the grounds, you realized Lucy had been waiting for you by the door, which made you smile a little bit.
"Hey kid, you ready for another day of me running circles around you?" Lucy ruffled your hair a bit as you led the way to the locker room.
"You wish you could keep up with me; you're practically ancient at this point." You opened the locker room door as a bunch of teammates turned to greet you.
"You are getting older, amor; you can't keep up with us younger ones anymore," Ona said as she came and kissed Lucy on the cheek. Lucy playfully frowned but allowed Ona to pull her towards her cubby to get ready. Just like that, you were back to being alone in your thoughts and feeling homesick. You wanted to text Leah, but you didn't want to bother her, knowing she was busy with her own recovery and training, so you kept all your emotions bottled inside.
Throughout training, your teammates were confused why you weren't acting like yourself. Normally, you were off joking with Pina and Patri or getting babied by Ale or Lucy, but instead, you mostly kept to yourself, even partnering up with Ingrid, which Mapi wasn't happy about because you knew she wouldn't ask you any questions.
"You okay, kid? You're not getting sick or anything, are you? You seem exhausted and stuff," Lucy asked as she approached you with a water bottle during a break in training.
"All good, just thinking about how many times I'm going to nutmeg you during the next drill." Lucy gave you a look after you said this, like she knew you were lying, but before she could respond, Ale called out to you, claiming she wanted you on her team for the 5v5.
The rest of practice, Lucy kept an eye on you, realizing more and more how weird you were acting, even saying no to Mapi asking to take you to get ice cream after practice, which you had never done before. She continued to not-so-subtly ask you questions about what's wrong, including if you had gotten enough sleep or if someone had broken up with you, although she had told you that you weren't allowed to date for another ten years anyway. You kept brushing her questions off, claiming that you just needed a nap when you got home, not wanting her to see you break down or be vulnerable, especially in front of the whole team.
Practice had finally ended, and you were thankful you had avoided the questions well enough for Lucy not to drag you back to her apartment, although she knew you didn't like going over there anyway after you caught her and Ona doing not-so-child-friendly things on the couch. You had just packed up all your things, ready to make a beeline to your car and go home so you could finally cry and let all your emotions out and then hopefully take a nap. Just as you were about to grab the last of your things from your cubby to head to your car, you got an Instagram notification. Leah had posted a selfie with a couple of your old Arsenal teammates with the caption "Best teammates in the world. Love playing alongside you guys every day." Normally, you would like it and think it's cute and message Leah about how she was so soft and cheesy, but today it was your final straw.
Your face dropped immediately, and you don't know why, but you bolted out of the room until you got to a secluded hallway where you thought no one would find you, and you just broke down. Sobs racked your body as you wanted nothing more than to be back in your home country with your childhood team. You knew the language, you knew the people, everything was easy and predictable. What you didn't know is that Lucy saw the entire thing from how your face dropped to how you had sprinted out the door. She quickly followed you, knowing you shouldn't be alone right now.
What she saw when she found you broke her heart. She had never seen you look so small and dejected. You were sniffling, now curled in on yourself and slightly rocking.
You glanced up, startled by her sudden presence.
As Lucy approached you, she could see the frustration etched on your face, the weight of uncertainty heavy in your eyes. She stopped in front of you, noticing the way you seemed to be wrestling with something internally.
"Talk to me, bubs," Lucy whispered as she sat down next to you and started to rub your back lightly, something she knew comforted you greatly.
"It's nothing, I'm okay. I think I just need a good nap."
"This is clearly not nothing. You know I won't judge you for anything you say. Do you want me to call Leah?" Lucy said as she continued to rub your back soothingly.
"No, please don't bother her, seriously. It's really not that big of a deal, and you know how worried she gets."
Lucy could sense your reluctance to open up, but she wasn't about to let you push her away. She knew you needed someone to lean on, even if you didn't realize it yourself.
"Hey, it's okay to not be okay," Lucy said gently, her voice filled with understanding. "You don't have to carry this burden alone. We're teammates, we're friends, and we're here for each other."
You continued to just sit there and shake your head, thinking Lucy will just think less of you if she knew you were making all this fuss over just being homesick.
"Why won't you let me in, bubs? It's just me. Let me help you. I'll even come to your apartment, and you can beat me at Mario Kart again." You let out a soft chuckle at this, which made Lucy relax a little bit.
"I... I don't know if I can do this," you admitted, your voice barely above a whisper. "I'm new here, and I just... I feel like I'm drowning, like I don't belong."
"I'm homesick, and all this change was new and exciting at first, but I miss home."
"Oh, bubs, why didn't you say anything sooner? It's completely okay to feel homesick. Barcelona can be a lot. There are so many new people, two new languages, a new style of play. It's completely normal to miss all the things that feel normal and familiar."
"How about this," Lucy continued, her tone gentle yet determined. "I'll call Keira, and she can meet us at your apartment. We'll cook a full English meal, and we can even Facetime Leah and Georgia. We'll have a Lionesses night, just like old times. How does that sound?"
A sense of relief washed over you, knowing that Lucy was there to support you through the tough moments. You nodded gratefully, a small smile tugging at the corners of your lips.
"Incredible," you whispered, gratitude swelling within you. "Thank you, Lucy. For everything."
With Lucy by your side, ready to help you navigate the challenges of adapting to a new life in Barcelona, you finally felt a glimmer of optimism for the future. And as you leaned into her comforting embrace, you knew that no matter how far from home you were, you had found a true friend in Lucy.

how about a Jamie x reader fic when they go away to Amsterdam they sit together on bus and they wake up cuddling and then there’s an issue w hotel booking and there’s a one bed trope and they end up waking up cuddled together and then they admit feelings and reader goes to game with a tartt jersey on <3
I’ve been thinking about this forever, and I’m terribly sorry it took so long!! I do enjoy being an adult, but I’m at a point in life where I don’t have much free time and if I do, I use it to sleep😂
I really miss the days when Ted Lasso was still airing and the x reader tags had new content every day. I feel like that one meme of Thanos when he’s like “Fine. I’ll do it myself.” Shoutout to all y’all who are still here and reading my stuff! Love you!!
Tumblr media
smile at me
It’s straight-up fucked. It really, really is. But also maybe it’s good, as Keeley pointed out, because not having a boyfriend anymore means you can focus on yourself?
Or something. 
Of course he had to break up with you right before leaving for Amsterdam. Hell, he broke up with you because you were leaving for Amsterdam. 
“I don’t want you going to another country with a bunch of other guys,” he had said. “It’s them or me.”
“It’s literally my job,” you told him. 
Apparently, that didn’t matter. 
But what-fucking-ever, you’re at Keeley’s waiting for a car to take you to the airport, and she’s promised to make sure you don’t think about your stupid ex even once. 
It’s times like these you wish Ted were still here with a spot-on pun and some dad-type advice. All you ever get from Beard is a weird anecdote and a vaguely threatening look. 
Keeley chatters on for the entirety of the ride to the airport, through customs, and all the way to the lounge. 
“You’re gonna get loads of great content for the socials, babe. Candids, action shots, behind-the-scenes. Friendlies are fucking amazing!”
Last time Richmond were in Amsterdam, they had lost horribly. They’re hoping to make up for it this time around. 
The plane is full of Greyhounds, both footballers and coaches alike, with Rebecca at the very front. Keeley plops done in the seat next to her as Dani waves at you from the middle. 
“I saved you a seat!” he calls. You smile as Sam takes your bag to put it in the overhead. “Thanks, Dani. You excited?”
Dani grins. “I think this time I am ready to see a whole field of tulips!”
You laugh as the lads roll their eyes. Jamie leans across the aisle toward you and says, “Oi, what’s the twat doing while you’re away?” 
You press your lips into a thin line. “Not a clue.”
He raises an eyebrow and says, “You break up with him?”
“He broke up with me.”
Jamie twists his face into a scoff. “And you wonder why I call him the fucking twat. Prick. Bet it was so he could finally fuck his coworker.”
You shrug. Jamie’s never liked your boyfriend. It’s not like you were together long, only a few months. And sure, he was a little bit of a twat, but sue you. You had a special place in your heart for pricks with a heart of gold, only he didn’t even have a heart at all. 
“You should date someone better,” Jamie continues. 
You glare at him and retort, “Oh yeah, because it’s just that easy. You got some one in mind?”
Jamie gives you his most angelic look and says, “What about me?” which makes half the plane dissolve into laughter, yourself included. 
“Cheers, Jamie,” you say as you wipe your eyes. “I needed that.”
A strange look crosses his face, but it’s quickly replaced by his usual cocky expression. “Anytime, love,” he replies as you turn to start a conversation with Dani. 
As much as you’d like that, Jamie would never date you. His joke stings a little but you brush it off. Maybe you’ll find another twat in Amsterdam to distract yourself from the fact that you’re half in love with Jamie Tartt.
“I’m sorry, we don’t have a booking under you name,” the hotel concierge says.
You tap your nails to your wrist. “Are you positive? I’m with AFC Richmond, they should’ve had one.”
The concierge taps on his computer for a moment before shaking his head. “No, I’m afraid we don’t have anything. And all of our rooms are booked this weekend. Might I recommend the hotel down the road?”
Damn it. There’s no way this is happening. Everyone else has gotten to their rooms without a hitch and here you are, alone in the lobby as you pull out your phone to call Keeley. There’s no way this is fucking happening. 
“Everything alright?” asks a voice behind you, and you jump. 
“They don’t have a room for me, and they’re fully booked,” you explain. 
Jamie looks at the concierge, who shrugs apologetically, then back to you. He asks, “Why don’t you share with me?” and you frown. 
“I thought you were rooming with Declan,” you say. 
Jamie lifts a shoulder. “Yeah, but he switched with Richard because O’Brien fucking snores and he don’t give a shit.”
You say, “So you’re with Richard, then,” and he shakes his head. 
“Nah, Richard’s with Jan.”
“I thought Dani was with Jan,” you say. These fucking footballers. What’s the point in having set rooms if they’re just going to switch it all up.
“Dani is with Jan,” Jamie says patiently, as if this all the most obvious thing in the world. “But Dani’s a cuddler, so he’s probably going to fucking end up with, I don’t know, Isaac or someone. Which means I get a room all to meself.”
“Right,” you say slowly. “Alright, I can do that. As long as you don’t mind.”
Jamie winks. “Sharing a room with a pretty girl for four days? Ain’t a problem, love.”
You laugh and follow him to the elevator.
It feels a bit like playing with fire, agreeing to room with Jamie. Especially since you’re freshly single and definitely open to a rebound. But there will be two beds and a lot of space and anyway, you’ll be busy with the match and social media, respectively. 
Except as soon as you walk through the door, you realize there’s a tiny little hitch.
“There’s one bed,” you blurt out, so surprised you’re unable to filter your words. Jamie blushes a little bit as he says, “Yeah, um, Cockburn and I hate sleeping alone, so we asked for one. He grew up sharing a bed with his brothers and I just fucking hate being alone. I can sleep on the couch if you want.”
“No,” you say firmly, “you need good rest. It’s not a problem.”
It’s not a problem. 
Or at least it wouldn’t have been if Isaac had been a shittier captain. 
But as it is he’s great, so he’s got the whole team going out to dinner at a pre-determined location complete with a dress code of no t-shirts and apparently you count as part of the team, so you have to go too. You’re in your massive bathroom trying to curl your disgusting travel hair when Jamie walks in wearing one of those white hotel bathrobes.
He asks, “You mind if I’m in here?” so you shake your head, struck temporarily mute by his bare clavicle. Fucking hell, you feel like a repressed Victorian woman. 
Jamie says, “Mint,” and goes about his alarmingly detailed skincare routine. You’re pretty sure you’re done with your hair so you crane your neck in an attempt to check the back. 
“Missed a spot,” Jamie says. “Want me to get it for you?”
You shoot him a dubious look but hand him the curler. He runs a hand through your hair, picking up the offending strand and it’s all you can do not to shiver. 
“Mum taught me,” he explains and you nod ever so slightly, not wanting him to accidentally burn your neck. Jamie says, “All good,” and runs his whole hand through your hair this time, making the curls bounce. 
You choke out, “Thanks,” and hurriedly put away your things, desperate to leave before Jamie can pick up on the fact that you can barely handle being in the same room as him, and that you have great concerns about what the night will bring. 
“You look fucking hot,” is the first thing Rebecca says when you meet her in the lobby. Keeley looks mildly offended that Rebecca took the words out of her mouth, but she just laughs and taps your arm. 
“Gonna break a few hearts tonight, yeah?” she grins.
You’re not sure about that, especially since dinner turns out to be a very domestic affair. It’s loud, sure, but it’s definitely toned down since it’s a pre-match celebration instead of a post-match one. You’re with Sam, Keeley, and Roy with Jamie far, far away. You push all thoughts of him from your brain only for memories of your ex to surface. You frown. 
“The fuck’s wrong with you?” Roy says and for a moment, you think he’s talking to you. But he’s actually talking to Jamie who has moved from his place across the restaurant to right behind your chair. 
“Fuck off grandad,” Jamie says good-naturedly. “Wanted to tell this one that some of the lads are going out dancing after this. Not too late,” he hastily adds at Roy’s burning scowl, “just for two hours and we’re only allowed one drink.”
You’re pretty sure that’s a bit more liberal than Roy likes, but he nods his head slightly so he must be in a good mood.
“So, you coming?” Jamie asks and before you can reply Sam and Keeley chorus, “Yes she is.”
You give Keeley a Look before turning back to Jamie. “Guess I am,” you reply.
The smile Jamie gives you does more to make your head spin than any amount of alcohol you’ve had in your lifetime.
Jamie has taken it upon himself to wipe that frown off your face. He might have been watching you over dinner and that might have been why he chose that exact moment to invite you out, but he’ll never fucking admit it to anyone except Sam. And Keeley. And maybe Cockburn when it was the off-season and they were a little tipsy. (But not drunk, never drunk.) 
So yeah, sue him if he’s spinning you around on the crowded dance floor just because it makes you laugh. It’s not his fault that he���s been wildly in love with you since the day Higgins hired you. It’s not his fault that you’re easy to be around and have the most beautiful smile he’s seen in his life. 
And fuck, it certainly isn’t his fault you can’t see in yourself what others do. Why you settled for a piece of shit like your ex, he’ll never know. But he’ll be damned if he doesn’t do his best to show you how special you are. He knows you’ll never feel the same about him, but maybe he can help you level up your standards. Maybe if you’re with someone good, it’ll hurt less that it’s not him. 
So he lets you hold his hand for the entirety of the two hours that the team is out and doesn’t say a word when you don’t let go in the cab back to the hotel. 
You’ve gotten that closed-off look in your eyes again, the one that means you’re thinking about your ex, so Jamie knocks his shoulder into yours and asks why he can’t have the password to the team’s Instagram account, which is a sure fire way to get you to lecture him on irresponsibility and aesthetics and the best way to get your eyes to come back to life.
Honestly, it’s easier to fall asleep than you might have expected. It’s a big bed and you’re fucking tired. 
You just didn’t expect to wake up in the middle of the night crying, but it’s always fucking like this when you go through a breakup. You go to sleep fine and wake up sad, so you do your best not to wake up Jamie except you’ve both ended up entangled in each other’s arms, so he can feel you shaking. 
“Hey,” Jamie says in a soft voice, “You’re okay, love.”
You half expect him to push you away once he realizes you’re so close, but he only pulls you closer and presses a kiss to your forehead. Maybe it’s because you’re both half-asleep, but it feels like the most natural thing in the world. 
You sigh and settle into him, drifting off in a matter of moments. 
You wake up to a pair of blue eyes watching you. 
“How you feeling?” Jamie asks, voice gravelly with sleep. 
You just blink at him. It’s hard to form coherent sentences within the first ten seconds of waking up, and even harder with the memory of Jamie’s arms around you last night. 
Wait. Not just the memory. The present reality because neither of you have moved. 
Jamie misinterprets your silence and begins to extricate his arms.
“Sorry,” he says, “I’m not to trying to like, cross and fucking boundary or something. Should’ve left you alone.”
You’re still not awake enough to talk so you grab him to stop him from moving away. He gives you a questioning look so you say, “I wouldn’t have agreed to share a bed if I thought you were a creep.”
Jamie grins. “So like, if Jan had offered to share a room you’d’ve said no.”
You wrinkle your nose as you say, “Jan’s not a creep.”
“He’s the fucking worst,” Jamie grumbles, “And anyway, can we not talk about Jan fucking Maas this early in the morning?”
“Sure,” you say, “let’s talk about something else.”
Despite your comment, you both lapse into silence. You’re enraptured by Jamie’s blue eyes. You’ve never been able to study them this close before, and you want to take this opportunity to memorize every fleck of green. 
Jamie seems to have a similar thought, except his gaze flicks to your lips. 
“I have morning breath,” you tell him and he says, “Real men don’t give a shit, babe,” before leaning forward.
It’s softer than you’d expected, sweeter. 
It’s also strange to think that you’re making out with Jamie in bed, and that he’s the one who initiated it.
The thought is so absurd that you giggle, mid-kiss. Jamie breaks away and says, “Oi, there’s no way that was a shit kiss.”
“No,” you say between giggles, “it’s just weird that we’re doing this. Like, how are we supposed to look each other in the eye after?”
Jamie moves so he can look at you better, and you roll from your side to your back. “What do you mean?” he asks.
“Oh come on, we share a room and a bed, we kiss because I have all these sad feelings and you’re feeling a lot of emotions about the match, and then we have to work together after. It’s silly.”
Jamie cocks his head. “That’s what you think is happening?”
“Yes?” you say. None of this is going how it’s supposed to. “What do you think is happening?”
“I like you,” he says, and there is absolutely no mistaking his meaning. 
“Oh,” you reply in a small voice. “Since when?”
“Since before you started dating the twat. When Higgins introduced ya to the team.”
“That’s a fucking long time ago!” you exclaim. “Were you ever going to tell me?”
Jamie rubs his face. “Yeah, ‘cept you showed up to work tellin’ everyone how you started dating the twat. And I ain’t a home wrecker.”
You groan. “Fuuuck. I literally only dated him to try to get over you.”
Jamie shoots up. “What?!”
“Yeah,” you say, “I’ve been like a little bit in love with you ever since you winked at me during that first promo I did.”
Jamie blows out a breath. “Okay. Think that’s enough talking. C’mere. We’re making out proper, like, then we’re going to breakfast.”
You grin as you climb onto his lap.

Jealousy's a B**** (Steph Catley x Reader x Caitlin Foord)
A/n So this is officially my fifth attempt at this, I've accidentally managed to post it twice, way too early, and I'm honestly still not happy with it.
Also, sorry it took so long, y'all. 😅
But yeah, Caitley Fluff. (Caitley? Staitlin? Stetlin? Coord? Catoord? Fortley? Footley?)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Caitlin's been acting weird lately.
She's more clingy than usual, hands finding some part of you whenever you're just feet from each other.
You're sure Steph's noticed it too, but she hasn't said anything either. Just that she has a knowing look on her face whenever Caitlin latches onto you for the fifth time in an hour.
Normally, you wouldn't have minded, but when she does it at training... it gets a little distracting.
Particularly when practising marking for corners. It feels like she uses every opportunity to be pressed against you. She goes out of her way to mark you, to be the first to mark you despite not even sharing positions.
Her hands find your waist, gripping you tightly, and you have to smack them away with red cheeks so that you avoid being both held in place and also teased by the others.
She doesn't do it with Steph as much, but it's still prominent when you aren't a part of the drill.
Usually, you're pretty observant of anything going on with your girlfriends, but this has you completely befuddled.
Well.
That is until the game against Chelsea.
It'd been rough from the start, both teams eager to get the london derby underway from the start of the season, eager to see who could test the other the most in the coming days.
With Arsenal out of the Champions league, this was the most important game for your team to win. Arsenal needed to set itself up for precendence early.
With that came physicality. And fast. Every opportunity for a header was met with being held down by the waist. Every time you had the ball, it was met with a slide tackle. Every run was met with being held back by the arm or your shirt.
It was getting on your last nerve.
You knew the captain and her partner well. You loved them both like family, having spent years growing up with Magda and others playing on the same team as Pernille. Playing at Arsenal was the only time either of you had been separated.
Unfortunately, that fondness didn't translate onto the pitch.
Magda was the first one to take your feet out from under you, and Pernille was constantly on you, both of them knowing how well you linked up through the midfield and that you were a constant danger at any time on the ball.
Football is a physical game. You knew that.
But it was getting a little out of hand at this point.
Which brings you to now.
There's a foul just outside the penalty area winning Arsenal a free kick, which converts into a corner after the ball ricochets off Cuthbert.
Stood in line waiting for the in, you shift, ready to leap up for the header. As soon as the ball is lofted into the box, hands grip your waist, preventing you from making the header.
You shake it off the first time. And the second time.
The third time, Magda completely takes you off your feet, and you hit the turf with a groan of frustration. How was the ref not catching any of this?
The fourth and fifth times, you brush it off, but you can see Caitlin practically death glaring Magda as the swede pulls you up again.
What you didn't see was the constant hole Caitlin was boring into the Chelsea Captain's head when she even so much as stood near you. It got particularly bad when Magdalena dropped you on your butt.
The last time it happens that half, Caitlin spins around to yell to the umpire. The sideline ref spots it too, Magda is warned but nothing more.
Caitlin growls but returns to position with a look from you.
Half time can't come quick enough for you. The lockeroom is alight with various chatter as they all fire off strategies and mid game plays that need to be fixed. Your girlfriends sit either side of you, Caitlin's hand tightly gripping your leg, a beset half glare on her face.
"I need you all to just keep pressuring. My strikers, you're doing good, but it's just getting in for those shots where you need to be. Try to shake your defenders."
With a nod from all of you, you all make your way back to the pitch in a hopeful search of goals.
It's just minutes into the next half when it happens, you fight the hold, but in the end, you hit the pitch again. This time, it sets off the firey striker.
She sees you get pulled down and sees red, she gets right up in the captains face with almost no hesitation.
"What the hell is your problem?" She shoves the swede away from you, followed by the piercing screech of whistle behind her.
"Nothing, what's your problem?"
Magda shoves back a little, which leads to the others quickly pulling her away.
"Keep your hands off her. It's that simple Eriksson."
Realising your partner is about two seconds away from a yellow, you jump between them, too, quickly grabbing her by the shoulders to walk her away from the situation.
"Alright, that's enough outta both of you. Caitlin, you need to cool it. Do not get booted for this. It's not worth it."
"But she-"
"Caitlin! It's not worth it. Let it go."
She grunts but walks away, accepting the yellow card pointed in her direction.
The rest of the game goes as smoothly as it can. Occasionally, you catch Caitlin getting a little pushy with Pernille, too. But it's nothing major in the end, and the whistle blows in a nil all draw.
Exhausted but still in an okay mood given the results, you walk around to shake hands with the chelsea players and specifically go find Magda as well.
"Hey Magda, sorry about earlier, you know how feisty she gets. I'd say she's sorry as well, but-"
The blonde chuckles.
"Probably not, given the glare I'm receiving right now. Speaking of, how are your lover girls?"
You smile softly, a small flush creeping up your neck.
"Loving, sweet, caring as usual. Normally well behaved, I swear." She laughs at that.
"It's fine. What happens in the game stays in the game. Sorry about dropping you on your butt a lot there."
She winces slightly. You just jab poke her in the ribs and wrap an arm around her shoulders.
"Nah, that's nothing. It's not the worst thing you've done to me." It's a soft prod and she huffs at you.
"Excuse me. I thought we let that go already. Just because we used to torture each other as kids."
"We? You mean you used to do it. I was a total angel as a child."
"Oh, I'm sure you were, I heard all about your innocent professions from Magda's mum."
Pernille wraps her arm around your other side, hand ruffling your hair.
"Yeah, just like you weren't getting pushy either today." You look up at her, being unfortunately shorter than the platinum blonde.
"I have no idea what you're talking about søde."
A nudge from you makes her chuckle.
You chatter away with them in your second language, having learnt Swedish whilst living with the captain in sweden from the age of 10.
Your parents were travelling business people (Magda would call them deadbeats, but that's another story) having moved to Sweden when you were just five, growing up next to Magda for five years before your parents wanted to move back to Australia.
However, given that you'd become so close with the Eriksson family, they quickly agreed to let you stay with them, the travelling lifestyle rather cumbersome on a child your age.
You loved your parents, but they were more deadbeat than they liked to admit, and so Magda's mother became like your own, and Magda, a sister to you after accepting adoption by the swedish family.
As you banter away with them, Caitlin watches on from her position by the bench, a small scowl on her face.
They were clearly way too touchy with you. Pernille kissing your cheek occasionally, Magdalena's arm wrapped tightly around your waist, occasionally brushing away your hair as you talk animatedly, a small blush on your cheeks at one particular moment makes the heat rise in her chest.
But she wasn't jealous.
No.
Why would she be jealous?
A small poke to her side brings her out of her thoughts.
"What's up with you, grumpy?"
Steph's shiteating grin makes her roll her eyes.
"Nothing."
"Uhuh, right, like I'm sure Eriksson and Harder haven't felt the holes you're glaring in the side of their heads either."
She scoffs.
"I am not." Her cheeks turn red at the incredulous look she receives in return.
"Babe, you do know they're not flirting, right? Magda definitely isn't into her, and as far as I can tell, those are loving sibling noogies our girl is receiving from Pernille."
Caitlin turns back to you. Steph's right. Still, she doesn't like the way they're holding you.
At some point, you must feel her staring because you look over with a soft but mildly concerned smile, raising a brow in her direction.
She shakes her head and turns away, arms still folded across her chest as she moves to go into the locker room.
"What's up with your girl, Stephy?"
Steph chuckles softly.
"Oh, nothing. Just our girl getting attention from her adoptive sister, apparently. I don't think she knows."
Beth snorts.
"No, I don't think she does either."
They watch as the pair continue to rib you, eventually hugging them goodbye and promising to meet up at some point in the next week or so. Wandering back over to Steph, theres a mildly confused look on your face.
"What happened with Cait? Is she still upset over Magda taking me down?"
Steph shrugs.
"Maybe. You know why?"
You shrug as well.
-------------------------
The bus ride back is even more confusing.
She ends up planted in the spot next to you but far too quiet. Normally, she's sat next to Katie, where the two would be either bickering, playing card games, or giving each other shit over small plays during the game.
None of that, though, and it stays that way until you've returned home.
"Okay, what's going on with you? You've been quietly sulking since we got back."
The forward shrugs in response, having been pretty silent for the whole ride home, save for occasional hums as you and Steph chat about team drama and the girls' post game antics as well.
You exchange a look with Steph, who looks like she knows more than she's letting on with the small smirk that pulls at her lips.
Confused by the action, you turn back to your other girlfriend, whose eyes are locked on the ceiling now, avoiding your meeting your own.
You can't think of any reason she'd be upset. The game hadn't been majorly eventful aside from that one yellow card. Magda certainly wasn't malicious in her tackles, so there's no way she'd be holding a grudge over that. You'd basically gone straight home after the game, too.
She was acting fine up until-
Oh.
Oh.
A mischievous grin crawls across your lips, and you move to sit in the striker's lap, surprising her mildly.
Your hands force her to look up at you.
"Baby, were you jealous?"
She scoffs, stumbling slightly over her words.
"Wha- no, I have no idea what you're talking about."
You sit back slightly, hand on your chin in faux confusion.
"Hm, I could've sworn you were glaring at Magda and P earlier. You saw that, right, Steph?"
You turn to the brunette, who is watching on clearly amused if anything.
"Oh, I sure did, I mean, if looks could kill."
You chuckle at the pout that makes its way onto Caitlin's face.
"I was not-"
She huffs at the growing smile on your face.
"It's really cute that you think they were flirting, baby. But no, there's no reason for you to be jealous, baby."
"But I wasn't jealous. They were just far too touchy, and-" the raised brow you give her makes her sigh softly.
"Okay, maybe a little bit, but still, they were all kissy, and it was getting way too touchy."
"Babe."
"But honestly they kept hugging you and after the game where they kept holding you and tackling you and-"
Cutting off her rambling, your finger sits on her lips and you hush her.
"Cait. I grew up with Magda. She's my adoptive sister. And Pernille definitely was not flirting. She's far too taken with Magda. Plus, she treats me like a little sister, too."
"Oh." Her cheeks flush.
"Honestly, baby, I thought you knew this already?"
Her cheeks go a little redder.
"No, why would I know? You've never told me about that."
"I'm out with them every other week. I usually tell you both, too."
"When? The only time you go out with friends, all we get from you is 'Hey, you two, I'm going to lunch with my sister and her girlfriend-' oh."
Both you and Steph lose it at that, Steph face palming as she falls back onto the couch, chest shaking with laughter.
You bury your face into her shoulder, shoulders jumping as you try to hide your giggles.
Caitlin rolls her eyes affectionately.
"Yeah, yeah, very funny, you two."
It takes you a minute to catch your breath again, hands moving to cup her cheeks, eyes alight with mirth.
"You're adorable. God, I love you. Also, wanna talk to us about why you've been extra touchy lately, too?"
She shakes her head and pulls you down to kiss her fully.
"Shut up."
You chuckle but comply, letting her have her way for now.
--------------------------
Caitlin didn't think she'd end up getting the third degree on her day off, but here she is, being teased mercilessly, stuck between you and Steph while you all rib her about last weeks game and the hickies you turned up to training with.
Between Steph, Beth, and occasionally Magda and Pernille, it really wasn't ending.
"Honestly, I don't know how you two didn't see it, really. She looked ready to implode after you kissed her cheek."
"I did not!"
"Baby, please, you were so red in the face."
"I'd just played 90 minutes. What do you expect?"
Beth pokes the girl with her shoe.
"Please, there was steam coming out of those ears."
Laughter rings out across the table.
"Tell me again why you thought I was flirting during the game by tackling her?"
Caitlin rolls her eyes at the swede.
"I didn't say that either."
You scoff playfully, turning to the chelsea defender.
"Ah yes, the swedish charm never fails you, huh Mags?"
"Sweeping girls off their feet since age ten."
Caitlin shakes her head.
"Okay, but like, what about the handsyness during the game? Harder, you were the worst of it."
The dane shrugs.
"It annoys her. That's literally it. Frustrate your opponents, and you have an easier time winning."
You scoff.
"Excuse me, don't say it like it actually worked."
"It did work."
"What part of a draw means you won?"
"I just said it worked."
"Clearly." You cock a brow at her.
The blonde flips you off, taking a sip of her coffee.
You poke your tongue out at her. Pernille chuckles, turning to her girlfriend.
"Childish. See babe, what did I tell you?"
"That I'm clearly the more mature and better looking sibling? See Caitlin? You have nothing to be jealous over. There's no way my girl would leave me for this thing."
Beth snorts and Steph has to cover a laugh when you take a swipe at the blonde.
"Bitch!"
While the other's watch on amused as you both bicker, Caitlin simply smiles, realising she definitely has nothing to worry about and reminds herself how much you show her love constantly.
Her clinginess had come from nowhere, so she'd blown it off.
Steph, however, knew well where it came from. Caitlin just got jealous easily, regardless of her protests to calling it that. Jealousy really is a bitch.

amnesia - part 8 (ona batlle x alexia putellas x reader)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
part 1 / part 2 / part 3 / part 4 / part 5 / part 6 / part 7
a/n: sorry guys, had to repost this one due to an issue with the title! anyway, when are these girls going to learn how to communicate??

“Do you want to do something with Ale tonight, the three of us? I don’t think you’re ready to go out yet, but we can celebrate your leg finally being free,” Ona suggested as the two of you walked out of the hospital. You still had crutches, but the cast had been taken off, and it felt like your leg could breathe again. 
“That sounds great!” you smiled. Ona had barely mentioned the captain since you’d brought her up in conversation just a couple days ago, and you weren’t sure if she had been upset about Alexia’s feelings towards you, but clearly it couldn’t be too bad if she was suggesting doing something together. Plus, you missed the blonde - it had been a while since you’d seen her, if you didn’t count all the times you’d looked her up online.
“What do you want to do? We could stay in, or go out, I guess,” Ona trailed off, looking at your leg uncertainly.
“Go out! Please, for the love of god, I cannot take being cooped up in my apartment any more. It’s bad enough not being able to play football, but not being able to go out much has been killing me,” you implored, eyes wide, and Ona laughed. 
“Okay, okay, we’ll go out. Nothing too crazy, though. There’s a nice restaurant in your neighbourhood we used to go to, we can go there,” she said.
That’s how you found yourself sat between the two women in a booth tucked away at the back of a local restaurant and bar. It was busy, but you supposed it was a Friday night, and it really did feel good to be amongst people instead of in your apartment. 
Something was… off, however. You weren’t sure what it was exactly, but the vibes were slightly strange, like the air was vibrating. You figured that maybe you were just so not used to being around so many people anymore and tried to brush it off. 
“How was training today?” you asked during a lull in the conversation. Glancing down at your drink, you didn’t notice the way Alexia’s and Ona’s eyes met across the table.
“Good,” Alexia said smoothly. “We all miss you, though. Are you looking forward to coming back next week?”
“I won’t be back, not properly,” you grumbled. “I’ll just be there for physio and occupational therapy.”
“You’ll be there, though! It’ll be nice to have you around again,” Alexia smiled warmly at you, resting a hand on your shoulder for just a brief second. 
“I guess,” you said, feeling your cheeks warm up a little. 
“Si, the three of us again, it’ll be just like old times,” Ona added. 
“Old times? Were the three of us together a lot?” you asked, frowning. You knew that you were close with both of them, but you’d assumed that when you and Ona started dating, Alexia would have felt awkward being around the both of you and would have hung back a little. 
“Oh yeah, we were inseparable,” she said, resting an arm on your shoulders. You stiffened slightly under the touch, but Ona didn’t seem to notice. “We were always together. The girls on the team used to joke about all three of us dating, not just you and me.”
“Huh.” Leaning away from Ona’s arm, you moved to get up. “I’m just going to go to the bathroom, I’ll be right back.”
Once you were in the bathroom with the door locked behind you, you let out a sigh. Splashing water onto your face, you frowned at your reflection in the mirror. You felt weird. Things felt different. Ona was behaving strangely, much more jovial than she had been the past few days, and you felt a flash of irritation. She was behaving like nothing had happened, like you hadn’t been in a coma, like you hadn’t lost your memories, like she hadn’t lied to you. And then there were your feelings about Alexia, which you were still confused about. Frustration about the whole situation bubbled up inside you, and you splashed cold water onto your face again, trying to calm down. 
“What are you doing?” Alexia hissed as soon as the bathroom door swung closed behind you. 
“What do you mean?” Ona asked. 
“You’re acting weird - you’re being way too casual about this, you’re pushing it too hard and too fast!” the blonde said, keeping her voice quiet, as if she was worried you’d hear. “Look, we said we would slowly introduce her to the idea, maybe let her think of it herself. We’re just meant to be making small suggestions, comments, that kind of thing - not telling her that people thought all three of us were dating!”
Ona scowled, not wanting to admit that maybe Alexia was right, that maybe she had been laying it on a little too thick. “We have to make it obvious enough, though, otherwise she won’t even notice it!”
“Of course she will! She’s not stupid, Oni,” Alexia frowned.
“Who’s not stupid?” you asked, appearing from behind the booth. It looked as though the two had been deep in conversation when you left the bathroom, and as you approached the table you heard Alexia’s statement.
“Oh, no one!” Ona said quickly, before Alexia even had a chance to open her mouth. You narrowed your eyes slightly, the speed at which she spoke not doing her any favours. 
“Right…,” you trailed off. So, Ona thought you were stupid. Great. You sat back down between the two, but this time you stayed just out of Ona’s reach. 
“Y/N, how have you been feeling, now that you’ve been home and out of the hospital for a week?” Alexia asked.
“Um, okay, I guess. It’s been a lot,” you admitted, grateful for the change in topic. “I’ve felt a bit overwhelmed sometimes. And I’m frustrated that I don’t remember more, I feel like I should.”
“It’ll come, with time,” Alexia said, placing a hand on your knee. It was warm, comforting. “And if not, we’ll do our best to fill your mind with new memories, isn’t that right, Oni?”
“Yes!” the brunette nodded emphatically. “We can make all kinds of new memories!”
“Thanks, guys,” you gave them both a small smile. 
“How about I get us some drinks?” Alexia suggested, standing up. “I’ll be right back.”
As you watched Alexia head towards the bar, Ona hummed thoughtfully.
“Ale looks really good tonight, don’t you think?” she asked.
“Hm?” your eyes flew to Ona, hoping she wouldn’t be able to notice the way your cheeks were flushing rapidly in the dim lighting. “Oh, um yeah, I- I guess?”
“You guess?” Ona let out a gentle laugh, looking over at you. “Please, she’s gorgeous, we all know it. And I thought you said you wrote something similar in your journal?”
“Oh, I, yeah, she,” you stumbled over your words, Ona’s teasing tone catching you off guard. It hadn’t even seemed like she was listening when you’d told her about that. 
The brunette leant in close to you, her hand on your thigh. “Are you blushing, bebé?”
“What- no!” you abruptly moved away from her, letting her hand fall to the seat. What the hell was she doing? Why was she even talking about this?
“It’s okay if you are, you know,” she mused, as if you hadn’t even said anything. “I’d understand if you still had a little crush on her. Who wouldn’t?”
That was enough. Your heart pounding, blood roaring in your ears, you stood up. “I need some air.”
You left the restaurant as fast as you could with one bad leg. You didn’t even notice Alexia leaving the drinks at the bar to follow you outside, and jumped when she put a hand on your shoulder. 
“Chiqui, are you alright? What’s going on?” she asked, her calm voice grounding you.
“Yes, I- no, I don’t know!” you groaned, putting your head in your hands. You didn’t understand what the fuck was going on, why Ona was talking like that, why she was saying those things. Even if she did happen to know how you were feeling, why would she be teasing you about it like that? And what you’d overheard earlier, how she clearly thought you were stupid? 
“I want to go home,” you said quietly. “Actually, no, I- can I stay at your place tonight? I don’t want to be alone.”
“Of course, but what about Ona, don’t you want to stay with her?” Alexia frowned.
“No, I don’t want to talk to Ona right now,” you said, a familiar feeling of hurt washing over you as you thought about her words to Alexia. “Can we just go?”
“Okay, chiqui. But I’m going to go and tell Oni, okay? It wouldn’t be right to just leave her.”
Ona watched Alexia approach the booth, a bad feeling in her stomach. She should have run after you, she should have done something, said something. 
“Is she okay?” the younger player asked, worry gnawing at her insides. 
“Si, but…,” Alexia sighed. “She wants to go home, to my place. She wants to stay with me tonight.”
“Okay, should I come too?” 
“No, Oni, I’m sorry. I think you upset her,” Alexia said gently, not wanting to hurt Ona’s feelings. “But I’ll keep you updated and I will see you tomorrow at training, okay?”
“Oh. Okay.” Ona’s voice was small, and she looked down at the table, refusing to meet the captain’s eye. As she watched Alexia leave, she could feel a pit in her stomach, growing and growing, and she hoped it would swallow her whole.

COME WITH ME - JOBE BELLINGHAM
Jobe asking you to move with him
Jobe Bellingham x fem! reader
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿
The news hit me like a punch to the gut—Jobe was leaving Birmingham. He was off to Sunderland for a new chapter in his football career, and even though I knew this was a big opportunity for him, it made me nervous.
The thought of him leaving, of being so far away, made my stomach twist.
We’d been best friends since childhood, growing up side by side on the streets of Birmingham. He was always there, and now, everything was about to change.
I sat on the edge of the park bench where we’d hung out countless times, my mind racing.
Jobe was pacing in front of me, hands running through his hair, eyes flicking to me every few seconds like he was trying to gauge my reaction. “You’re not saying anything,” he mumbled, his voice edged with worry.
“Please, say something.”
I finally looked up at him, my heart heavy. “You’re really going to Sunderland, huh?”
He stopped pacing, his expression softening. “Yeah... it’s a big move, but it’s the right one for my career.”
I nodded, forcing a smile. “I know. You’re gonna be great there, Jobe. I just...” I trailed off, unsure of how to express the pit in my stomach. “I just don’t want you to forget about me.”
He blinked, stunned. “Forget about you? Are you mad?” He dropped onto the bench beside me, his knee brushing against mine. “There’s no way I could forget you. You’re my best friend. You’ve always been there, ever since we were kids.”
“But it’ll be different,” I muttered, staring down at the grass. “You’ll be up there in Sunderland, making new friends, living a new life. And I’ll just be... here.”
He was silent for a moment before letting out a deep breath, turning his body to face me fully. “That’s actually what I wanted to talk to you about.”
I frowned, glancing up at him. “What do you mean?”
Jobe rubbed the back of his neck, clearly nervous. “I don’t want to go without you,” he blurted, his words rushing out. “I don’t want to leave you behind.”
My heart skipped a beat. “What?”
“I’m serious. I’ve been thinking about it for weeks. I don’t want to do this without you,” he said, his eyes pleading. “I need you with me.”
I stared at him, my mind racing. “Jobe, you can’t just take me with you. It’s your dream—”
“And you’ve always been part of that dream!” he interrupted, leaning closer, his voice earnest. “You’re my lucky charm, Y/N. You’ve been there for every big moment in my life, and I don’t want to do this without you.”
My heart pounded in my chest as he continued, his words coming fast and a little frantic. “I need you there. You’re not just my best friend—you’re everything to me. I didn’t want to say anything before, but... I have feelings for you. I always have. And I can’t imagine going to Sunderland and leaving you behind. I can’t...”
His words started to jumble together as he rambled, trying to convince me. “We could make it work. We could get a place together, and I promise it wouldn’t be weird. Or, well, it might be at first, but we’d figure it out. And I’ll be there for you, I swear. We could—”
I couldn’t take it anymore. Before he could finish his sentence, I reached up, grabbed his face between my hands, and pressed my lips to his.
The world seemed to freeze. His breath caught, and for a second, he didn’t move. Then, as if everything finally clicked into place, he kissed me back.
His hands slid up to my waist, pulling me closer as the tension and nervous energy between us melted away.
When we finally pulled apart, he stared at me, his eyes wide, his breathing uneven. “Does this mean... you’ll come with me?”
I laughed softly, shaking my head. “You really do talk too much, you know that?”
He grinned, his hands still resting on my hips. “Yeah, but... you love it.”
I smiled, my heart feeling lighter than it had in weeks. “Yes, Jobe. I’ll come with you.”
His grin widened, and he let out a breath of pure relief. “Good, because I don’t know what I’d do without you.”
I leaned my forehead against his, our noses brushing. “You don’t have to worry about that. I’m not going anywhere.”
Jobe let out a soft chuckle, pulling me closer. “Thank God.”

LIFE'S HARD WHEN YOU'RE INLOVE ─
─ WITH RIN ITOSHI !!
Tumblr media
This morning made you completely forget about what happened. Tonight, you're in your bed thinking about it, repeating over and over in your mind.
Why you?
You curled up in a ball, turning to the side, and stared at your bedside table, where that book rests.
You're hurting, but you haven't let go of the feeling you have for him. He hurt you, he doesn't like you. So why are these feelings still here? Seems like he bewitched you.
Sometimes, you think of the days when you haven't read that book if you haven't stared at that boy in class that made your mind spiral down into this mess.
But sadly.. It's too late for that, everything has changed and soon, you might have to as well. It sucks yes, but if this is how you feel you might as well put in some effort into your feelings and those around you from now on.
So at 8:23 PM, you fell asleep with a new mindset, maybe Rin's harsh words opened your eyes to the harsh reality of changing.. and love?
Joy and pain wrapped up all in one package━ maybe that's what love is.
Such a new feeling to you.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
"NOOO, PUT ME DOWNN!"
Well, you thought you were going to change..
"C'mon Y/N! It's just football!" Meguru exclaimed, pulling you off your bed.
Yet again, Meguru Bachira is in your room, pulling you out of bed at least this time you're wearing your glasses!
"HE BROKE MY HEART ON THE FIELD, I DON'T WANNA GO THERE!" You yelled out, at 8:09 AM.
Outside of the room, in the living room, stood Hyoma, Yoichi, and your two roommates.
"I've never heard her like this before.. weird." Reo muttered.
"Girls are weird." Seishiro followed up.
Hyoma stared at the duo with a blank look.
"No wonder they're single." He thought.
His judging thoughts were poofed away when his eyes landed on Meguru walking into the room with you over his shoulder, like a sack of potatoes.
"She needs to bathe, shove her in the bathroom," Reo ordered, pushing Yoichi towards Meguru and yourself.
"Wait what-"
"Alright!" Meguru replied, marching to the bathroom, with Yoichi running behind.
Tumblr media
Here you are, dumped in the bathtub, followed by Yoichi throwing in some clothes for you as they both run out of the bathroom, making it known that they're present right outside of the door, waiting for you to finish.. Well, mostly Meguru demanding you to hurry.
You sighed at the predicament you've found yourself in.
Then Meguru said something.
"If we dragged you out, unwashed, what will Rin think if he sees.. or worse! Smells you!"
You blinked at his words and soon after, the boys outside the bathroom heard the sounds of a shower being turned on.
"No way that worked.." Yoichi mumbled.
"Of course it did!"
Well, at least Meguru came to the agreement that you like him. Now he's using it to his advantage it seems.
Your bath was quick, but efficient, scrubbing almost everywhere on your body, brushing your teeth like twice.. is that even healthy? Anyways, you wore the outfit Yoichi picked out for you and surprisingly, you like it!
Soon later, the boys from outside almost fell when you opened the door, steam from the shower hitting them in their face as you stood there, smelling the soap from a mile away.
"Dang.. At least you're clean.." Yoichi said, covering his face from the steam.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Finally! The um family of friends? Whatever, you all finally made it out of the house!
It was midday and the reason why Meguru decided to make you play football, was simply because it makes him happy, so it will make you happy!
Which is cute, but you swear if you step foot on a field you might get flashbacks of that day.
Maybe Seishiro noticed, or perhaps this is Seishiro being Seishiro. He tapped your shoulder a bit causing you to turn in his direction.
"Yes?"
He pointed in a direction, holding his phone in his other hand. Your eyes followed the direction and your eyes landed on an ice cream stand!
Your face lit up after seeing the sweet treats being sold and dragged Sei with you to get it. The others stopped in their tracks after noticing that the lazy duo had disappeared and saw you both running to the ice cream stand, well actually it's you dragging Seishiro to it but whatever!
They all caught up and now they're buying you ice cream like good friends!
You waited by yourself, staring at the busy street as people passed by, conversing with their peers or just enjoying the Sunday sun. It's a rare sight for you, but everytime you witness it, it lightens up your mood.
Enjoying the peace, your eyes then landed on familiar faces. Isn't that Aryu? And Yukimiya? And.. RIN? WAIT-
First, you were surprised that your eyes landed on him, then it turned into fear as you witnessed his almost death.
Rin, a normal teenager, was counting his money after existing a shop. Then suddenly a bill went flying into the street! Who wouldn't chase after their money?
Yet Rin failed to notice the incoming car, which collided with him, causing him to roll on the top of the car, and onto the road.
Nothing could beat the expression you had on your face right now!
Yet he got up like it was an everyday thing.. Hm, nonchalant and strong, that seems to be your type.
Your mixture of thoughts popped when his eyes landed on you.
His annoyance skyrocketed to the moon and back yet you ignored his expression.
"Um.. are you okay?"
He scoffed at your question and was about to lash out at you until Yoichi came up behind you with ice cream in his hand.
"Y/N- oh it's you."
Rin eyes landed on the boy behind you, then landed back on you.
His mind went back to those notes, was it some joke?
"What-"
"Calm down.. she didn't mean anything bad, and plus it's the weekend, Y/N can be outside if she wants to," Yoichi answered Rin's question for you.
He rolled his eyes and then walked away, continuing on with his day.
"Yo, I think I witnessed something crazy."
"Huh?"
"Nothing.. ice cream?"
"Here."
After that mini meet-up with the undead- Rin, Meguru began to lead you to the football field, the one they all practice at.
Tumblr media
Finally, the main reason why they dragged you out of the house. A football field.
All ice creams were long eaten and Meguru grabbed a ball out from his bag.
He pulled on your arm and dragged you onto the grassy field, placing you on the opposite side while he ran away to the other.
He placed the ball on the grass and then simply kicked it towards you.
The ball rolled towards you, stopping at your feet as your eyes followed it.
"C'MON, KICK IT!" Meguru yelled from his side.
You stared at the ball for a while, then softly kicked it back at him.
Meguru was now grinning from ear to ear as it rolled back to him.
This time, he kicked with a bit more force, as the ball came towards you with a bit more speed.
"KICK IT A BIT HARDER NOW!"
You stared at the boy who yelled at you for a moment, then back at the ball.
What was the point of this?
You kicked the ball, with too much force this time, catching your friend off guard as he landed in his face.
"Oh oops.." You muttered, running towards him.
Your spectators laughed at the random turn of events, running up to Meguru as well.
"I'M SORRY!"
Yet he was laughing.
"It's okay, let's play more!" He laughed out, holding his nose.
For some reason, you felt relaxed. You don't have any interest in the sport, you don't know how to play the sport but seeing their happy faces as you enjoyed the hobby they love so dearly made you enjoy the silly moment you have here.
So that's how you, someone who sleeps in all day, found herself on the football field kicking a ball around with her friends, laughing all the worries away.
When your foot collides with the ball, watching it fly away into the goal, it reminds you of letting go of certain feelings and as it enters the goal, is when you feel happy with the results.
Maybe you should let go of the feeling of guilt you had for Rin. Apologize to him for the misunderstandings and confusion you caused him. The ball will enter the goal when you do just exactly that and maybe the guilt will go as well.
Maybe you're seeing football a bit differently from the others.
Hm, maybe if you have some worries, you will kick around a ball to let go of them.
Tumblr media
━ 6:23 PM
Somehow, you all met up with not only the almost team, but others FROM the opposite team.
Twice, you got asked for your number.
One was from Otoya, you told him okay, but openly friendzoned him on accident.
The second was from the person you called old, Aiku or something.
"Do I know you?" You asked him.
"Well- No but I can change it for you."
You had no clue he was flirting with you.
Meguru, who is quite nosey, pointed out how they witnessed him and two girls arguing alone.
You gasped, then agreed to give him your number so he could give the details. I mean, who doesn't like gossip?
In the end, they both got turned down either way.
But you met new people and made friends with some of them, something you always wanted.
To your surprise, you got a tad closer to Barou, playing bowling with him while he was complaining about your every move, yet he didn't push you away.
Maybe he sees you as he sees his younger sisters?
Odd bond, but the others came and worsened his mood.
You gave him a small thumbs up as you walked away to sit down, watching the others join in his fun.
He raised his eyebrows at your gesture, gritting his teeth nevertheless.
You stared at those in front of you, realizing that they are going to be in your school year from now on.

Request for you!
You have your bi-awakening while dating Bob when he introduces you to Phoenix. Instead of being put off, he invites her to your bedroom…
A little arrangement
Robert "Bob" Floyd x Reader x Natasha "Phoenix" Trace
Tumblr media
Smut under the cut! Mdni. Everyone feel free to send requests!
You've never thought too long or hard about your sexuality. You always had crushes on your Barbies, and sometimes your high school friends looked a little too kissable, but you always brushed it off due to your attraction to men as well. You liked men, and you didn't mind dating them, so why would you ever have reason to question your sexuality?
As you grew older, and left home to move in with your boyfriend, Bob, this question occurred in your mind less and less. You love Bob. He was the perfect gentleman, and he was always very kind and attentive.
You and Bob have been living together in California for 6 months now. You both enjoy the sunny state, and you are very content where you are. When Bob gets called to Top Gun, you share his excitement, and you celebrated together. What you didn't realize at the time, was that his front seater was going to be the most attractive woman you've ever seen in your life.
You had heard Bob speak very highly of his front seater, so when he invited you to their game of beach football, you happily accepted his offer.
When you got to the beach and stepped out of the car, you immediately complained about the heat. It was 93 degrees in California today, and it was extremely humid. You immediately took off your shorts and shirt so you could relieve yourself of some of the heat.
Bob leads you down to the shore to great his friends. You happily greet everyone. Everyone is very welcoming and accepting of you. "Where is your front seater? I'm dying to meet her." you whisper in Bob's ear. "She's right there." He whispers back and points to the parking lot.
You feel your breath hitch in your throat as you see the most beautiful girl in the world walking towards the group. The old, confusing feelings of your sexuality resurface the longer you look at her. She has a perfectly tones body, with beautiful brunette hair and gorgeous brown eyes. You realize you are staring when she walks up to you and Bob and introduces herself.
"Hi, you must be Y/N? I've heard so much about you. I'm Phoenix, but you can call me Nat." she confidently says as she sticks her hand out to shake yours. "Y-yeah! It's so nice to meet you!" you stutter out. Bob sends you a weird glance as you wipe your sweaty palms on your legs before returning her handshake. "Likewise, beautiful." she says, with a wink.
You feel your heart flutter in your chest as she walks away to go speak to Fanboy and Payback. Your entire face turns bright red as you realize how awkward you acted around her. Bob quickly notices your change in complexion "Are you feeling okay, sweetheart?" he asks worriedly. You brush him off as you blame it on heat exhaustion as you go to sit under your umbrella to watch the football game unfold.
For the entirety of the game, you can't help but look at how sexy Natasha looks playing football. Her disadvantage due to her height compared to the others does not stop her, as she quickly weaves through the sea of men with no difficulty. You desperately rub your thighs together as your eyes are locked on her bicep as she hugs the football. She scores a touchdown, and as she celebrates she locks eyes with you.
The rest of the night went very well. You didn't see much more of Natasha, because she was making rounds and talking to everyone in the room while everyone ate. "You ready to get going soon?" Bob says, and snaps you out of your haze. "Yeah, sure. I'm tired." you replied.
As you begin to stand, Bob pulls you back into your seat and whispers into your ear "Do you have a little crush on Phoenix, baby?" with a smile in his voice. You immediately freeze and begin stuttering, unsure of how to respond. He chuckles into your ear and says "It's okay, baby. It's totally normal". You sigh in relief as Bob tells you to go get settled in the car while he says his goodbyes.
As you get into the car, waiting for Bob, you find the ominous question back in your head. Why do you have these feelings for Natasha? Why does it feel so right? Your thoughts are quickly shut off when Bob hops into the car and slams the car door shut.
Before Bob can start the car, the back door of the car opens and closes. As you turn around to see who is in the car, you are met with Nat's smiling face. You feel your face heat up as you confusedly look at Bob. "I invited Nat over to our house for the night. I also told her about your feelings for her. Her and I talked, and we figured that maybe we could come up with a little... arrangement. Only if you're comfortable" Bob says with a smirk on his face.
Natasha cups your cheek and turns your head and locks eyes with you as she says "Do you want this? Do you want both of us?". Before she can even fully finish the question, you are already eagerly nodding your head with excitement.
Bob chuckles at your reaction as he starts the car and begins to drive away. "We can figure out the logistics of everything tomorrow, but for tonight we can just have a little fun, okay baby?" Bob whispers into your ear as he speeds down the interstate. The car ride is tense, so you find yourself getting nervous as you pull into the driveway of you and Bob's shared house.
Natasha opens your car door, and as you step out of the car, she grabs your waist and says "Bob and I will meet you in your bedroom in 5 minutes. When we get in there, you better be naked and on your knees next to the bed, okay princess?". You nod eagerly and rush upstairs and into your bedroom.
You quickly strip your clothes and eagerly fall to your knees, waiting for Bob and Natasha to meet you in the bedroom. A few moments later, Bob and Natasha open the door to see you waiting for them, just as instructed. They are both naked as they walk through the door, and you whine in arousal.
They both smile as they tower over you. Natasha puts her thumb on your lips and you open your mouth to suck on her finger. "Such a good girl. Bob, she's such a patient and obedient girl, don't you think?" Natasha groans. Bob nods in agreement as he mutters "She is such a perfect girl for us".
You feel giddy from the praise you are receiving, and Natasha retracts her thumb from your mouth as she orders you to get onto the bed. You happily get off of your knees and lay back onto the bed. Natasha climbs on top of you and begins pressing soft kisses onto your mouth. You happily return these kisses. Eventually the kiss escalates and she pushes her tongue into your mouth.
You feel yourself growing wetter as your tongues battle for dominance. Natasha presses kisses down your body until she reaches your tits. "Bob, eat her pretty pussy. Get our good girl ready for me" she mutters out between kisses and licks to your chest. Bob instantly agrees as he positions himself between your legs.
Bob begins with kitten licks to our clit as he inserts two fingers and curls them up, immediately finding your sweet spot. You let out a loud moan as Bob excitedly licks your clit with his tongue and is fingering your g-spot perfectly, while Natasha is sucking your nipples and pinching them in between her fingers.
The pleasure becomes overwhelming as they both enthusiastically please you at the same time. Your moans and whines soon become much louder, as you feel yourself being brought to the edge very quickly.
Just before you reach your peak, Bob retracts his fingers and tongue. You whine in frustration as Natasha also pulls away from your tits. Natasha mockingly strokes your head as she says "Aw, baby. You'll be coming soon, I promise".
She presses a haste kiss to your lips before climbing on top of you and sliding her legs between yours. Her pussy is just inches away from where you need her most. You let out a loud moan as she presses your clits together. Bob pants in the corner as he strokes himself at the sight.
Natasha rubs your pussies together with vigor. Your wetness easily aides her movements, and makes the pleasure more intense. Natasha strokes your sexes together aggressively and she lets out the most pornographic moans as she throws her head back. You take this opportunity to leave kisses on her throat.
This brings Natasha closer to her edge, and she begins moving faster, which brings you closer to the edge as well. You kiss each other, and moan into each other's mouths before you both come together.
Natasha pants and stills her movement before she turns her focus to Bob, who is a whimpering mess. His cock is an angry red, and his entire body is flushed. His hair is messy, and he has a look in his eyes of pure need.
"Are you gonna let Bob fuck you, angel?" Nat asks you as she gets up and stands beside the bed. "Yes, yes please fuck me, Bob. I need it right now" you whine out as Bob moves over to the bed and gets on top of you.
You and Bob let out a content sigh as he enters you. "Fuck, I'm not gonna last long" Bob groans as he sits back on his heels while he begins fucking you. Natasha takes this as an opportunity to give attention to your clit while Bob roughly fucks you.
Her lips attach to your clit, and your back immediately arches off of the bed. Bob begins thrusting harder and faster as Nat continues licking and sucking at your clit. You and Bob both let out loud moans as you come together, his cum filling you up perfectly.
Bob pants as he recovers from his orgasm, and he finally pulls out to watch his cum drip out of your pussy. At this time, Nat comes back from the bathroom with a washcloth to help you clean up. Once she has cleaned you, she helps you go to the bathroom, and then helps you get tucked into bed. Bob and Nat are on either side of the bed, while you are in the middle.
They both cuddle up to you, and you sigh in content. It is no longer a question. You have no doubt in your mind that you are bisexual. Your heart soars with pride at the thought. You give Bob and Nat each a kiss before you feel yourself drifting to sleep. Excited for the conversation in the morning about how you will be able to be in a relationship with these two amazing people.

really loving the idea of sunghoon who seems really cold and distant when he's just a himbo that knows how to fuck and nothing else 💀 like u've been dropping hints left and right and he still thinks ur being friendly... like u have to downright demand he fucks u lmao
nsfw brother's bff sunghoon x virgin reader // you're eager to lose your virginity and your brother's best friend helps you out // smut, unprotected sex, use of word slut // 600 words
okay so imagine you're going to move across the state for university soon, but there's a problem - you're a virgin. and there's no way you're going to start university as a virgin.
thank god your brother is hosting a party this weekend and his best friend, sunghoon, is going to be there. he's your typical sports captain, known for being kind of a player, the list of the girls he fucked is long but the list of those waiting is even longer. so it's going to be easy, right?
fast forward to the party and... you're unsuccessful. no matter how low you bend and accidentally flash him your panties, how you push your chest against his arm as you handle him a drink, he's not paying any attention to you.
defeated, you sit down on a sofa and look at the people dancing around you, that is until some random guy joins you and puts his hand on your thigh, moving closer. this is your chance!
well, not really. the second the guy leans in and you can smell his cologne, sunghoon pushes him off and takes your hand, guiding you to your parents' bedroom.
he closes the door behind you and after you get the idea of where this is going, you climb onto the bed excitedly.
"shit, y/n," he says and starts unzipping his pants wobbly, his eyes not adjusted to the darkness, "i promised your brother i wouldn't do this."
he comes closer, "but if anyone has to fuck you tonight, it better be me."
sunghoon grabs your thighs and pulls you to the edge of the bed. his dick brushes against your core, which is enough to cause your first moan to escape.
"when did you become such a slut?" he touches you down and feels your wetness, "this will do."
he slams his dick inside you and honestly, there's nothing romantic about this. he knows it's your first time, but he also knows how to make a girl feel good so he's not wasting any time. it's better than you opening your legs for a random guy, right? your brother would hate that. sunghoon is basically taking care of his best friend's younger sister. right?
"fuck... you feel good," he says as he leans forward and rests his arm on the mattress next to your head, while his other hand holds your waist down.
the feeling of his dick stretching you out is overwhelming. he's not used to having a girl this sensitive, mostly because he doesn't really fuck virgins. it's hard for him to adjust the pace, so you're heating up very quickly. you arched your back literally the second he entered you, making you feel him even more.
he hasn't felt anyone clench on him like that in a while, he's kinda embarrassed because of how fast you got him worked up. not that you would know how it normally is, but it's definitely not a moment he's going to brag to his football team about.
a weird knot had been tightening in your abdomen for a while and it's only a matter of seconds for you to come, making you close your eyes and throw your head back into the mattress.
the view makes him so close he has to pull his dick out, stroke it in his hand, and cum on your stomach. he wishes he could do that while still inside you, but he's not trying to get his best friend's sister pregnant.
after you both calm your breathing, he pushes himself off the bed and starts dressing himself up. he looks back at you and the sight of your chest rising up and down with droplets of his cum glistening in the dim, outdoors lamp really fuck him up. "yeah... i think it's better if you don't tell your brother about this."
idk if this is what you had in mind anon, but thank you sm for the ask 💔
after hotel.

About You | Day 4 | j.t.
Tumblr media
Pairing: Jamie Tartt x F!Reader
Summary: Your job? Pop culture journalist for The Independent. Your assignment? To write a profile on the cocky footballer that you're publicly feuding with.
Word Count: 3.2k
Warnings: Idk maybe its kinda fluffish. Cussing. Enemies to lovers
A/N: Let me know what you think! :)
Masterlist | About You Masterlist | Main Blog
It was admittedly difficult to sleep that night. Firstly, the couch was just not your choice of  a preferred sleeping spot. Secondly, it was weird having a person sleeping in your bed, especially a person who you didn’t sleep with, and especially especially since that person was Jamie Tartt. 
Which explains why you were up so early, two pans on the stove with breakfast. One with eggs, the other with potatoes frying up. On the counter was the bread, waiting patiently to be cooked in the toaster.
Movement in the bedroom told you that Jamie was awake. Turning from the pans, you threw two slices of bread into the toaster. By the time you had turned back, the door to the bedroom crept open and slow footsteps made their way down the hallway. Rubbing his eyes, Jamie appeared in the open living room. When you looked up at him, you found him still just in his boxers. The two of you stared at each other for a while with similar looks of surprise. You couldn’t say why he was in shock, but for you, it was because of the nakedness. 
“I woke up thinkin’ that I had the strangest dream,” He said slowly, looking around the room with squinted eyes. His back was facing you when he spoke again. “Guess it was not a dream.”
“Not a dream,” You said, scrunching your face. He flopped down on your couch, running his hands up and down his face.
“Drank too much,” He admitted. “My head is fuckin’ killin’ me.”
“Did your clothes evaporate overnight?” You asked him in an unusually high pitched voice. Though you weren’t looking at him, you could sense his eyes jump back towards you. 
“They’re still on the floor, thanks.”
“Well, thank God. I was worried, since you decided not to dress before coming out.” He was trying and failing to hide a smile.
“Fine, fine.” He sauntered back towards the bedroom, and against your better judgement, you looked up from the stove, letting your gaze fall up and down his backside before he disappeared down the hall. 
“We have to be out the door soon, so hurry up!” You called to him, receiving a groan in response. The toast popped out of the toaster suddenly, making you jump. You grabbed a plate and filled it with half the food, setting it down before doing the same with another. When Jamie re-entered the scene, this time fully clothed and with brushed hair, you handed him a plate. 
“Eat fast. I’ll drive us to work.” The sentence felt so weirdly domestic, and you wanted to hate it more than you did.
He nodded, taking a seat at the small dining table and digging in. You sat across from him and did the same. It was a silent meal, but comfortable, as if the two of you had been eating meals together for a long time. Before you knew it, the plates were empty. Jamie stood just as you were about to and grabbed your dish.
“Oh, you don’t have to do that,” You said, reaching to take them from him, but he waved you off. 
“Please.”
You said nothing more, instead rushing towards the bedroom so you could get ready. From the kitchen, you could hear water running and dishes clanking together, making you freeze. Is he doing the dishes? You finished getting dressed and quickly brushing your hair before walking back out. Jamie was just pulling the gloves off his hands as you came into view. Turning towards you, he looked you up and down, expressionless, before speaking. 
“You good?” He asked. You nodded, a surreal feeling washing over you.
How did your day start like this?
The two of you made your way down to the car park, where you climbed into the driver’s side. The rain was still modestly falling, although it was nowhere near the magnitude it had been the morning prior. Despite turning the car on, you made no move to leave, even after Jamie was in and secured. A few seconds passed before you felt his stare fall on you.
“I think we should start over,” You said, before turning your head to meet his gaze. “We’ve both done things, and continuing to fault the other for the past is counterproductive. I think we should go into today with a clean slate between us.” 
“Dunno,” He said as you came to a stop light. A moment of deja vu hit you as you turned to face him, reminding you of the evening before. When you met his eye, you found him smirking. “I kinda like bein’ mean to ya.” 
“Well, in that case…” You trailed off, the both of you laughing at the exchange. After a second, you tilted your head. “I’m not saying we have to be the best of friends who braid each other’s hair and share their deepest darkest secrets. But at least while I’m around for the next week, we can pretend.”
He lifted a finger at you before saying, “Or two.” You looked at him in confusion.
“Or two what?”
“Weeks.”
“Or two weeks,” You repeated back to him in agreement. 
But you didn’t think it was pretending, at least not for you. It was then that you realised that you were, indeed, starting to like Jamie Tartt as a person. Though he was still stubborn and arrogant, the night before had been a moment of clarity for you. He was just as broken as everyone else, despite his cool exterior. Inside, he was just a young boy, begging for validation and affirmation. But most importantly, he was begging for the love he didn’t receive from his father. Beyond that, the night before had you laughing the hardest that you had in a while. 
The car behind you honked, you cursing under your breath as you drove through the green light that you had, once again, missed.
“I think you’re right,” He finally said. A smile playing at your lips, you glanced over at him. “It’s hard bein’ angry that you’re here.” He paused, and it was then you noticed the water bottle in his lap, which was he messing with the lid of. “You…” A beat passed. “You didn’t turn out to be the villain I’d made you in me head all these years.” 
Something about that made your heart swell.
“You’re not as bad as I made you out to be, either.” You smiled with your face forward. And though you weren’t looking at him, you thought you caught a smile out of the corner of your eye.
“Although,” He added, his voice quiet. You eyed him, waiting patiently. He let out a slight laugh, rubbing his forehead. “You actually do know my deepest, darkest secrets now.” 
Something fluttered in your stomach.
The next thing either of you knew, you were putting the car in park. A few spaces over was Jamie’s car, patiently waiting for him. You pulled his keys out of your purse and handed them.
“I take it you'll need those.” 
He opened his mouth to say something, but immediately seemed to backtrack. You studied him. For a man who had been drinking so hard the night before, he seemed like he was in good spirits. Suddenly, he was jumping out of the car. 
“Can’t sit here all day, can we?”
You followed, having another moment of deja vu as the two of you walked in the club together. Despite having worked there for what you could assume was a while, the security guard still appeared overjoyed at the sight of Jamie, and forgot to check your pass. 
It seemed like the entire team was waiting for the pair of you, for once he, then you, entered, a chunk of them circled around like a pack of dogs.
“What happened last night?”
“Did you drive, Jamie? Is your car okay?”
“Did you sleep on the street?”
“Lads, lads, let’s calm down, yeah? A man is still nursin’ a hangover,'' Jamie pushed through them to get to his locker. Once he had broken from the pack, all eyes landed on you. The anxiety in your chest began to creep up.
“I drove him to his place. threw him in bed, and then I went back home, myself,” You explained to them. Over Dani’s shoulder, you could see Jamie look over at you. Holding his gaze for a moment, he nodded at you as if to thank you. You looked back at the others without giving any sort of reply. They all seemed to accept this explanation without further questioning. 
“We are just glad you got home safely,” Sam said, a wide smile that he gave to both you and Jamie. 
“Didn’t seem concerned when you sent the enemy after me, did ya?” Jamie asked, making the others roar out in laughter. You couldn’t help but laugh along with them as you could hear the playfulness in his tone. 
“We were just gonna let what God intended to happen, happen, bruv,” Isaac said to him. 
“Maybe God intended for her to go after you, Jamie!” Dani added. 
Jamie and you exchanged a look before quickly looking away. Your cheeks grew very hot. Jamie awkwardly scratched the back of his neck. 
With immaculate timing, the coaches entered in that moment, saving the both of you from having to come up with a response. You took your place against the wall, although now you allowed yourself to stand a bit closer to Jamie’s locker. 
As they spoke, you took notes. 
“Didya ever think that maybe you’d learn more if you listened than just writing down whatever they say?” Jamie whispered into your ear. His breath was warm against your skin. Ignoring that feeling, you shot him a glare. 
“I don’t need to know how to play football,” You reminded him, glancing at the coaches to make sure they weren’t privy to the two of you talking before going on. “So I don’t need to learn what all this means.” 
“Just tryna help ya sound smart for ya article.”
“Are you saying I sound stupid?”
“You could sound smarter…” 
“And who made you the expert on sounding smart?”
“Meself, obviously.”
“What are your qualifications, footballer?”
“Well-“
“I’m sorry, is this meetin’ interruptin’ you?” Roy’s voice boomed through the room, making the two of you jump.
“Sorry,” Jamie called out, raising his hand in apology. You lowered your head and furiously pretended to be writing notes innocently. Roy’s glare lingered for another few seconds before Beard continued talking. 
When everyone began to head towards the tunnel, you walked towards the entrance to the stands. 
“Oi.” You turned to see Jamie watching you. “Just come out with us. You can stand with the coaches.” When you opened your mouth to counter him, he waved his arm towards himself as a gesture to follow him. “It’ll be easier for you to take your wee notes. Let’s go.” Conceding, you followed him out onto the pitch. 
The rain had stopped, the sky still blanketed with clouds. The players started running their drills. You stood a few feet behind the coaches. Being on the pitch as opposed to the stands did make a difference. It was much easier to hear the coaches, and you could hear the players as well. 
“So,” A voice next to you said. You jumped, damn near throwing your notepad across the field before turning to find Beard next to you, standing in the same exact stance when he had been in front of you just moments before. “A truce was called, then?” After you remembered how to breathe, you nodded. 
“We talked it out, I think.” The two of you looked out in time to see Jamie fold over in laughter over something Isaac said. 
“I haven’t seen him in such high spirits since Ted left,” Beard admitted. The mention of the former head coach brought your thoughts to a screeching halt. You glanced at him for a brief second before turning back to Jamie.
“He hasn’t brought Lasso up at all to me.” 
Beard blew a raspberry, shaking his head. “He was really torn up about it. I don’t think he wanted anyone to know.” He was thoughtful as he continued to watch the footballer kick a ball into the net. “I think he viewed him as a father figure.” You thought back to the conversation from your car, where Jamie told you about his abusive father. The pain in his voice was so clear, along with the hesitation to tell you. 
“He told me a little about his dad,” You said quietly. 
“I’ve never witnessed such behaviour from a parent,” Beard admitted. “Disgusting.” This truly grabbed your attention, making you turn your entire body towards the coach.
“You saw it?” You asked. “You saw his father abuse him?” The expression on Beard’s face became a pained one, the memory clear as day on his face.
“It was at Wembley, when we played Man City,” He explained. “Pops came backstage, clearly sloshed. Wanted to bring his buddies through security to take pictures of the pitch. Jamie said no.” He began to shake his head. “Started calling his own son names, and getting in his face. We had lost, morale was low. Jamie clobbered him right in the nose.” At this, he looked proud. “He deserved more than that, but I’m glad he got what he did get.” 
You felt sick. The breakfast you had worked so hard to make was threatening to make a reappearance all over the rich green grass. 
When Jamie had told you about his dad, you had assumed it had happened a long time ago,  maybe as soon as when he had just started out. Never would you have ever thought that it was happening so recently that Coach Beard, or any of the current members of the team for that matter, would’ve been there to bear witness. 
No wonder your articles hurt him so much. It all made more sense now. He was getting abused two fold.
The second your eyes found Jamie, seeing his smile as he passed the ball to his teammates, you felt a surge of pride towards him. He was a huge jerk for a long time, following in the shadow of his father. But he learned, and he grew. Now he knew kindness and love. 
The transformation was quite magical.
The whistle blew and the players made their way towards the coaches. Jamie stood next to you, eyeing you curious.
“You alright?”
You turned to face him, and it felt like you were seeing him for the first time.
“I’m good.”
He stared at you for a long time, eyes searching your face, before nodding. Crossing his arms over his chest, he turned to face the front again. You began taking notes again. It was hard to focus, with the newfound information fighting to be at the forefront of your mind. It felt strange, knowing something so intimate about Jamie that he hadn’t told you. Part of you wondered if you should tell him, but maybe that wasn’t for the best. You weren’t out of the woods yet when it came to your relationship with him, and it wasn’t best to rock the boat further. Maybe after the article you’d-
No. After the article, you’d be back to business as usual. There wouldn’t be any chances to talk to him about anything, really. You’d be off the pitch and back in your office. He’d continue to play football and be Jamie. And it would be like none of this ever happened.
Why the fuck is this making me so sad? You asked yourself.
Pulling you from your thoughts was Jamie bumping his hip against yours. You jumped slightly, before turning to look at him. His face was filled with amusement.
“Sorry, Jumpy,” He said with a voice filled with laughter. “I was thinkin’ we could have a chat after practice, if ya want.” You shook your head with more force than you intended.
“Yeah, that would be great!” There must’ve been something off about your tone, for he knitted his eyebrows together, his head tilting slightly.
“You sure you’re alright?” 
Inhaling slowly, you nodded again. This time with more ease.
“I’m fine, Tartt.” At first, he seemed shocked that you were back to calling him by his last name, but the smile you gave seemed to placate him, as he returned it almost as quick. 
When practice was over, and the field had been cleared out, it was just Jamie and yourself who remained. You sat in the grass, running your fingers across the even cut blades. Jamie was standing, and was moving around as if he wasn’t able to stop.
“Do you ever relax?” You asked him, your phone already set to record. He paused at this, raising his hands in question.
“I’m always relaxed.”
“That’s definitely not true.” He scoffed, but you continued. “What do you do to unwind?” This made him stop, genuine thought on his face.
“I dunno,” He admitted. “I like havin’ a pint with friends. Layin’ on me couch sometimes.” When his eyes found you again, he found your face scrunched up. “Don’t look at me like that.”
“I’m gonna make that the headline,” You said as you raised your hands and wrote a line in the air in front of you. “‘Jamie Tart: He Also Drinks Beer and Lays On The Couch.’” He laughed.
“Fuck off.” Shaking your head, you looked around at the field.
“If you could talk to any deceased person for 30 seconds, who would it be and what would you say?”
The next words out of his mouth hit you like a train. In the most earnest voice, he said, “I’d talk to George Harrison, and tell him thank ya for inspirin’ me to live my life.”
The recording was instantly turned off, as it was ruined by the way you were laughing. Jamie looked scandalised as you fell backwards into the grass.
“What’s so fuckin’ funny?”
“Didn’t you only just find out about George Harrison dying?”
“I didn’t know!” He shouted, throwing his hands in the air. “Can’t know everything all the time, can I?” As you came down from your laughter, wiping a tear from your eye, you shook your hand.
“No, you can’t.”
He started moving around again, and you watched him. Recalling the conversation from earlier with Beard, you bit your lip.
“What about living?”
He paused.
“What?”
You inhaled sharply. “If you could say whatever you wanted to any living person, with no consequences, what would you say?” 
This made him really freeze, his eyebrows properly knitted together. After a moment of silence, he took a few steps forward and sat down just a few feet from you. Elbows on his knees, he rested his chin in his palms.
“I’d ask my dad why I wasn’t enough to keep ‘im sober.” All traces of humour left your face. He nodded before continuing, “I’d tell him I needed him to treat me as more than a punchin’ bag.” Another beat passed. “And then I’d thank him. I’m the man I am today in spite of him. And I’m proud of that.” 
He was staring at his hands right then. You smiled at him.
“You should be.” 
His head jumped upward, eyes falling on you once more. Your smile was more broad this time, as you leaned forward a little.
“Yeah?” He asked, as if his opinion was hanging by the thread of your answer. 
You nodded firmly. “Yeah.”

deserve better — RAFE CAMERON
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
authors note thank you so much for all the love from my last concept. heartbreak is one of the worst things you can go through. remember that you deserve the best.
summary in which reader finds out her boyfriend has been cheating on her and she goes to her childhood friends house, Rafe Cameron, and the two express a few things to eachother.
warning heartbreak, cheating, swearing, kissing, crying, and some cuteness in the end
Tumblr media
Your boyfriend, Y/B/N, was home visiting for the summer from college. He plays football for North Carolina University.You go visit every now and then when you aren’t busy with school and work; you decided to attend a junior school and work to save enough money for an apartment next fall. 
Ever since Y/B/N got back, you guys have been hanging out. But, he’s been acting weird, distant. He doesn’t let you go on his phone, he usually lets you. Something’s off with him and you can’t seem to put a finger on it. 
You’ve told your two best friends about his weird behavior. They’ve known him just as much as you have. They think he’s talking to another girl and doesn’t want you to find out. You feel the same but deep down you hope that’s not the case.
Y/B/N was in the shower when you woke up. The breeze from the open window felt really nice coming through the room. You started to stretch your body before getting out of bed. Y/B/N phone started buzzing on his night stand, you brushed it off thinking it was one of his friends but it started buzzing non stop. 
Worry filled your stomach. Getting weird feelings like this never ends well. So, you being you, grabbed his phone to see who it could be. 
Your face quickly went from a smile to a frown. A girl named Amelia was blowing up his phone. That weird feeling in your stomach was telling you to unlock the phone.
Wrong password
“Huh?” you whispered to yourself, frowning.
His password is your birthday and has always been that way once you said yes to being his girlfriend.
“What could it be?” you think hard, really hard. 
Then it hit you, his other password option is his jersey number for football. 
Once the phone unlocked, you went to his messages. You know it’s wrong for you to do this but something seems off about this situation.
You click on Amelia's message and your stomach immediately drops. You can’t believe what you are reading as you scroll.
I miss you baby
I can’t wait till you come back and we can be together
I miss the way your hands feel on my body. 
That’s when you lost it. Tears streamed down your face. You felt betrayed and heartbroken. So many emotions running through your body. At this point you want to go home. You grabbed your phone and started putting on your shoes.
Before you leave his bedroom and go home, he walks out to you crying on the edge of the bed. He walks over with worry and concern, kneeling on both knees, asking what’s wrong.
“Hey baby, are you okay?” you scoff, pushing his hands off your knees.
“Don’t baby me. We’re done. Don’t text me or call me ever again” he looks at you confused, “what are you talking about?” he tries grabbing your hand, you back up. 
“Your little girlfriend, Amelia texted you about how much she misses you” you are going off on him and he’s standing there with guilt, “just like that, three years down the drain. I’ve done nothing to you for your dumbass to cheat on me” throwing your hands in the air with frustration.
“I’m sorry, I didn't know what I was doing but it just happened Y/N” you don’t believe a single word he said from that sentence. 
“How long has this been going on?” you point to his phone on the bed. 
“Two months.”
Two months ago was the last time you saw him when you visited him. He started acting weird towards you but you brushed it off. You thought him coming home for the summer, he’d act his usual self. Wrong. 
“Fuck you” you shake your head, grab your belongings and walk out.
The drive to your house was filled with tears. You don’t know what you did to deserve this. Everything you’ve done for him was all for nothing. All those memories went down the drain just like your relationship. 
When you walked into your house, your parents turned their heads smiling but quickly went to worry when they saw the tears streaming from your eyes. They never liked seeing you sad or hurt. You explained to them what just happened; they were upset hearing what your ex did. 
“You don’t deserve to be treated like that princess. You deserve to be treated with respect and love. He is a piece of shit and should be ashamed of himself. He lost one amazing young woman” your dad tells you, hugging you tight, rubbing his hand down your back to keep you calm.
“I love you” you whisper.
Your parents have been there for you no matter what the situation may be. You are happy to have the parents who’ve taught you that it’s okay to show emotion and speak about your feelings. 
You walked upstairs to your shower. You needed to wash the negativity off your body. You felt your phone buzz before you entered the shower; your ex texted you trying to apologize and if you two could work things out.
“Fucker” you mutter under your breath, turning the music up higher.
After your twenty minute shower, you changed into clean clothes, and rubbed lotion to smell good. Music plays from your speaker while you comb your hair. The breeze coming through the open window felt so nice.
You feel the random urge to text one of your closest friends, Rafe. He’s always been there for you when you needed it the most. You have known each other ever since you were in diapers. Your parents worked for the same company and have been friends ever since. 
Turning off the blow dryer, grabbed your phone and went to Rafe’s contact.
hey, what are you doing?
Just got out of the pool, you?
everything okay?
can i come over and explain please? i need to see you.
come right now. the door is unlocked.
You liked the message then finished blow drying your hair. You started smiling to yourself of the thought of seeing Rafe. You’ve always thought Rafe was attractive but could never tell him. 
When you arrived at Cameron's home. You walked through the big home being greeted by Rose walking downstairs with papers in her hand, she smiles when she sees you enter. She’s always been like a second mom to you. 
“Y/N, It’s so good to see you. How have you been?” she says as she leans in for a hug. “I’ve been alright thank you, you?” She can sense something up by the tone in your voice but doesn’t want to bring it up. “Busy with work stuff” she smiles.
“Rafe’s up in his room right now if you were wondering” she smiles, you thank her in response.
As you were making your way to Rafe’s room, you could hear the sound of Wheezie’s tv from her room and Sarah on the phone talking to John B. 
You knock on Rafe’s door before entering.
“Come in.”
He’s fresh out of the shower. Hair wet, towel hanging from his hips with his v-line visible. You cover your eyes telling him to put a shirt on. 
“Don’t act like you haven’t seen me shirtless dork, c'mere” rolling his eyes, grabbing your shoulders, hugging you. 
You start crying when you are in his arms. He notices and worry fills his brain. He doesn’t like seeing you like this. He pulls your back gently, lifting your chin up with his pointer finger, looking in your eyes, scanning. 
“He cheated,” you say between sobs.
His face fell down with anger. He never liked your ex and your ex never liked Rafe. Rafe always told you something was off with him and got weird vibes from him, you shrugged it off at the time.
“Let me change then you can explain, yeah?” he walks you to his bed, patting your thigh as he walks to his bathroom. It was obvious he was upset by the way he’s breathing and body language is.  
When he comes back, you explain the situation. He can’t believe what he’s hearing. 
“Are you fucking serious? I’m gonna kill his ass” he said with annoyance. He runs his hands through his hair. you place your hand on his chest, “please Rafe don’t. He isn’t worth it anymore” he looks at you as if you were crazy. 
“Y/N he fucking broke your heart. You deserve so much better than that douche. He lost a beautiful and wonderful girl that he’ll never find, ever” he emphasizes, he stares at you, waiting for your response. 
He thinks I'm beautiful?
“You think I’m beautiful?” you quietly ask, slowly turning your head to the left, making eye contact with him.
“I’ve always thought you were beautiful Y/N” he replies, holding eye contact, waiting for your answer.
You can’t believe you are about to say this.
“I’ve always had some type of feelings towards you Rafe” you quietly speak.
“Same.”
He slowly leans towards you, bringing his right hand to your face, rubbing his thumb against your cheek, you close your eyes at the feeling.
“Can I?” he whispers softly.
Faces are inches closer to each other. Your lips collide passionately. You never thought you’d be in this position right now kissing one of your closest friends. The feeling of his lips against yours felt magical, a feeling you cannot describe.
“I would like to be more than friends with you Y/N.”
“Me too.”

• Just think about it: he gets no game because he's weird and off-putting, not that he ever minded, until he saw you. He's he type of stalker that you won't notice; he hides things so well that you would fall into his trap of believing he's a good person.
• The moment he saw you, he knew he had to make you his.
• You were just a pretty little thing. Snuffy had hired you to be his manager, not knowing what you got yourself into.
• He thanked the gods that day for a mentor like Snuffy, handing him a cute little thing like you over on a silver platter.
• When Snuffy was introducing you to him; he relished in the way you looked so cute and nervous to be working for someone famous. Stuttering and mumbling every time they said something to you, just the way he found enticing.
• From then on, he was always around you, to the point where your life revolved around him, and only him.
• Lies and creates fake reasons for you to be around him more. One time he 'hurt his leg' because he overworked himself in the last match he played. As his manager, it's your responsibility to take care of him and make him feel better, right?
• So smug about your kindness and willingness to always be at his beck and call.
• Doesn't hide the fact that he has an obsession with you. Not that you'll notice anyway; you're too pure and naive for your own good.
• If you start noticing his actions, he laughs it off and maipulates you into believing him. He promises that he isn't trying to scare you or be weird; he's just making sure his darling manager is always okay.
• Such a liar and manipulator, like it's his second nature.
• Tells you that you are just imagining things, that he would never do anything like that to his meek little manager. "Don't worry your pretty little head about it."
• But that's only the beginning. Once you start believing that he's stopped following you around, he'll secretly install a tracking system in your phone, so he always knows where you are and who you're with.
• Installs hidden cameras in your apartment so he can spy on the way you undress yourself for a shower, or the way you touch yourself so cutely after a long day.
• You continue to be so naive and clueless as to why he seems to always be around you and know where you are,
• Or why he purposely presses himself against you whenever he can.
• You blindly trust him, because he's a world-famous football player; he wouldn't do anything weird to you right?
• He believes you are an angel sent by heaven to be his only.
• Always purposely dropping things and telling you to pick them up for him, just to watch you bend over and get a peek at your cute panties under your skirt.
• Betraying your good heart that just wants to help him, he uses your naiveté and trusting nature to get what he wants.
• Always so touchy with you.
• Purposely brushes his broad hands against your butt and fondles your boobs.
• Pulls discreetly at your shirts so he can get a glimpse at your pretty lace bras.
• Loves making you stutter and gasp at his advances, delighting in your small frame shuddering in embarrassment at his large hands roaming your body.
• Smiles like a wolf capturing its prey; in this case, you are his little bunny.
• Fantasizes about kidnapping you all the time and making you his personal bunny. Not that he isn't far away from making that fucked up fantasy real.
• When someone hits on you, he doesn't show any signs of discontent on his face.
• He waits until you and him are alone. Then, he starts showing his creepy and obsessive side to you, pressing you against the wall,
• breathing down your neck, his sour breath tickling your skin, rough hands grope your bare skin....
• He will make you his, no matter the cost.

Thank you for reading again! This one was a bit dark, but it was something I kept thinking if ever since I saw him in the manga. He just gives me creepy stalker vibes y'know? I understand if this isn't your cup of tea, but my account will have dark themes like this; so please feel free to block or unfollow me!
Also, I might write a few works based on these headcanons for him too. Until then, have a good day!
