y/n loved to party, that was so obvious to everyone who knew her. Especially when she felt it was as earned as they winning the league party felt the night before.
To win and beat Wolfsburg to that number one spot, to have automatic qualification for the next Champions League, it just felt right and normal for a party.
What also felt right, was her arm curled around y/n's waist, the feeling of her naked skin pressed into y/n's as she slept, trying to put off the hangover for as long as possible.
Best friends. They fuck when they get drunk yeah? Or when they're not drunk and just feel like it. They were best friends, and they needed to help each other out. It was normal.
It was not normal.
y/n knew as she crept from Georgia's room and into her own - considering they lived together - that what they were doing was not what best friends did.
y/n knew that best friends did not make such changing decisions as she did for Georgia, she knew that best friends were supposed to love each other, but not be in love with each other.
So why was she in love with Georgia?
y/n knew what would happen. Georgia would be up in half an hour, always coming too once y/n no longer held her, she would cook them breakfast, and ignore what had happened.
It killed y/n. It truly truly killed her. How could she just ignore everything they had done last night, every loving touch, every kiss, moan and climax.
But she did, and so would y/n. And in two weeks when it would happen again, y/n would be there, on her knees for her and crawling back like she always did.
They would go back to camp for the world cup, y/n's sister Leah would captain them and everyone would be oblivious to the fact y/n was drowning in Georgia.
y/n sighed, running a hand over her face and climbing into the shower, trying to wash the feel of Georgia's hands from her body. It didn't work.
Then she changed, pulling on some jeans and a shirt before grabbing her fanny pack, phone and head phones and pulling on her trainers, moving into the kitchen where Georgia stood making them coffee.
"Mornin'!" Georgia smiled.
"Coffee?" She asks, holding the cup up but y/n shakes her head.
"I'm going to meet up with Syd. Sorry G." y/n smiles, ignoring how her heart broke at Georgia's relaxed smile, not even mentioning the fact she was in y/n's shirt.
"Okay, when will you be back?" Georgia asks and y/n sucks in a deep breath as she shrugs.
"Dunno. Sydney said she'd help me revise." y/n explains as she picks up her tote back from the bag hook, her revision for her sports science degree inside.
"Oh, I can help!" Georgia smiles, knowing it was something she usually did.
"It's okay, Syd and I have got it." y/n smiles. "Have a nice day." She adds.
"Don't be home too late!" Georgia smiles as y/n rushed out the door, her house keys on the hook. "I love you." Georgia sighs sadly to the empty flat, before she sighs and leans over the counter.

y/n and Sydney were laid out on the blonde's sofa, y/n having texted Georgia saying she would have dinner at Sydney's, unknowingly disappointing the light brunette back at their apartment, who had spent the day watching the door longingly as she tried to get chores done.
y/n and Sydney were watching a TV show y/n had begged Sydney to watch called Humans, the German saying she wouldn't like it but now being as obsessed as y/n was.
"Will you ever tell Georgia?" Sydney asked aloud, being the only person to know y/n's current dilemma as the two were very close.
"I don't know Syd." y/n sighed and Sydney sent her a look.
"Warum weiรŸt du es nicht?" Sydney asked with a scoff.
Why don't you know?
"Because it is not that simple!" y/n chides, Sydney sending her a look which said say it in German. "Weil es nicht so einfach ist." y/n repeats and Sydney nods.
"Maybe not, but the way you both look at each other is clear." Sydney denies and y/n sighs.
"And how is that?" y/n asks with an eye roll and Sydney glares at her.
"Like you two are each other's reason for breathing." Sydney states and y/n snorts and shoves her.
"You Germans are so fucking poetic." y/n says before checking her phone and sighing. "I need to get home." She hums and Sydney rolls her eyes.
"No you need to avoid this conversation." She says as y/n grabs her bag.
"Huh, look at the time. Love you." y/n says, dragging out the 'you' as she gets to the door.
"Love you too." Sydney calls as y/n leaves. "Dummes Mรคdchen." She then mutters.
Stupid girl.
y/n slides her headphones on, happily walking the ten minutes back to her and Georgia's in the slowly setting spring German sun. She got to the door, sighing as she realised she didn't have her key.
y/n knocked on the door, straining her ears as she tried to hear Georgia's padding footsteps but didn't hear anything. y/n texted the girl, confused at her lack of response considering it was only 8:34 pm.
When she didn't reply, y/n called her twice both times the phone ringing out to voicemail as the phone was outside the shower which Georgia was currently in, trying to forget about the way y/n's lips felt.
y/n waited, for ten minutes outside their house, sighing as she slid against the door and called her sister instead, watching the phone ring out before the blonde picked up with a grin.
"Hey baby sis!" Leah grinned, smiling at her sister who grinned widely back.
"Hey Lee." y/n smiled, her head lent back against the door as she watched her sister's smiling face. "You look happy." y/n chuckles and Leah grins.
"Of course, I see you tomorrow!" Leah grins and y/n can't help but smile.
"I can't wait to see you either Lee." y/n smiles widely and her sister lets out a shriek as her body is pushed to the side.
"Baby Williamson!" A cheer echoes. Mary Earps pushing herself into frame.
The players who play in the WSL had gotten to camp two days ago, the women who play abroad all now waiting to join at camp after their later games.
That included, Keira, Lucy, who played at Barcelona and y/n and Georgia, who played at Bayern, all four having made it into the squad and all travelling over tomorrow.
"Mary! Hi!" y/n grins, Leah huffing as Mary snatches her phone away.
"I saw that off the line clearance from you yesterday, we'll make a keeper of you yet." Mary grins. y/n can't help but let out a laugh at that and someone calls Mary from off camera.
"Go on, go help whoever needs it." y/n laughs at the keeper who grins and presses a kiss to the camera.
"I'll see you soon!" Mary calls before handing the phone back to Leah and running off, Leah rolling her eyes as her sister chuckles.
"What are you doing?" Leah asks her sister who sighs.
"Forgot my key, so waiting for G to let me in the fucking flat." y/n groans and Leah chuckles, though she looks confused that the two weren't together. "I was at Sydney's." y/n explains.
"Oi oi." Leah grins, wiggling her brows and y/n glares at her.
"Shut up!" y/n laughs, knowing she and Sydney were just friends. y/n goes to say something but the door unlocks and y/n sighs in relief.
"You go and get packed missy." Leah says and y/n mockingly salutes. "I love you." Leah adds and y/n smiles.
"I love you too Lee." y/n smiles at her, before she hangs up and walks into the apartment, Georgia was stood awkwardly by the door, wet hair hanging over her shoulders.
"Sorry, I uh, was in the shower." Georgia apologises, and y/n shrugs as she sends her a small smile.
"It's okay, I should have remembered my keys." y/n nods. "I was on facetime to Leah anyway." y/n explains as she places her bag down.
"How was Sydney?" Georgia asks awkwardly as y/n walks into her room where her suitcase is half packed.
"Yeah great, we got through a lot." y/n smiles happily as she digs through her closet to find more clothes.
"Good, good." Georgia nods, awkwardly stood in the doorway of y/n's bedroom.
A silence settled across the two, and usually neither would mind that, because they could be in silence together but would like it, because they were together.
However, this silence was pregnant with awkwardness, tension thick in the room as Georgia watched as y/n continued packing, trying to avoid looking at her.
"Why won't ya look at me?" Georgia asks and y/n tense, sending a quick look at Georgia.
"I am, but I need to pack G." y/n says and Georgia scoffs.
"You ain't looking at me!" Georgia denies and y/n throws her trainers down as she turns and folds her arms, looking at Georgia.
Their eyes meet, holding their stares as they both watch each other for a moment before Georgia scoffs at the cold stare being held between them and turns and walks out.
y/n listens to her go and jumps when Georgia's door slams shut, her head dropping as she sighs and shuts her own door quietly, she then sits against her bed and falls back.
Love sucked.
ยฐใ€‚ยฐใ€‚ยฐใ€‚ยฐใ€‚ยฐใ€‚ยฐใ€‚ยฐใ€‚ยฐใ€‚ยฐใ€‚ยฐใ€‚ยฐใ€‚ยฐใ€‚ยฐใ€‚ยฐใ€‚ยฐใ€‚ยฐใ€‚
y/n hadn't been able to sleep. She put her phone down nearly an hour ago at half eleven, but sleep hadn't been kind enough to save her from over-thinking.
She was on her side, back to the door, almost as if she was trying to forget that across the hall Georgia was probably asleep. Getting energy before flying tomorrow.
Slowly, there was a creak behind her and y/n stopped breathing, holding the air in her lungs as her door shut again and a body slid into bed behind her.
Georgia's arm slowly curled around her waist and y/n sighed, turning onto her other side so they could at least face one another. y/n couldn't see her, it was too dark.
But they both knew their eyes were open as they stared into the dark of the room. Georgia's hand was resting against the dip in y/n's waist, y/n's hand was close to Georgia's chest.
There was no sound other than the quiet breathing, the small breaths blowing in and out softly as they laid together. Slowly, Georgia's head moved, her breath now pushing against y/n cheek.
She stopped, lips just centimetres away as she gave y/n enough time to push her off, to shove her away. However, y/n's hand came up to slide up Georgia's chest and onto the back of the neck.
The moved in sync, lips colliding softly as the room suddenly filled with sound of smacking lips and breathy moans. y/n's hand tightening on the back of Georgia's neck, pulling her closer.
Georgia pushed up, leg swinging over y/n as her arms held her above her, lips never breaking as their tongues tangled together, tasting every section they could.
y/n sat up slightly, pulling Georgia closer to her as her other hand pushed at her back, mounting Georgia onto her lap as y/n's back hit the wall.
Georgia's hands slid around her shoulders, fingers playing with the baby hairs on the back of y/n's neck. y/n sighed into the kiss, knowing where it would lead as Georgia pulled away.
"We should get some sleep." Georgia says quietly, settling down into y/n's side.
y/n paused, shock running through her veins because a kiss like that always led to something more.
"Yeah, okay." y/n whispers, settling further into her pillow as she pulls Georgia closer, nose buried into her head as she inhaled Georgia's shampoo.
y/n's eyes quickly become heavy with sleep, Georgia's warmth and body weight pressing into her finally helping her brain shut off, and in the silence of the room, the two fell asleep embraced.

The next morning y/n woke up alone. Her phone blaring her alarm and as the two girls got ready for the day it was like another heartbreak to know they had slipped into their old routine.
She and Georgia joked like friends, not mentioning the night before as they shuffled out of their apartment and locked the door, Georgia letting out a shocked shout at the person waiting for them.
"Sydney!" y/n grins, rushing over to hug the blonde.
"I wanted to say goodbye!" Sydney smiles. "I will see you soon, I'm sure." She adds. y/n chuckles and squeezes the blonde once more as Sydney then hugs Georgia.
The taxi pulls up and Sydney pulls y/n to the side, Georgia rolling her eyes as she is left to help the driver pack their cases away.
"Tell her." Sydney says quietly, her back facing Georgia. "Just tell her." She adds.
"But Syd." y/n sighs and Sydney sends her a look. "I'm so sacred." y/n admits and Sydney giggles and brings y/n into a hug.
"Everyone's scared y/n, but if there is one person who can deal with fear it's Baby England." Sydney promises and y/n sighs.
"I'll see you soon." y/n promises Sydney who smiles and the two pull away and share another smile.
"We going?" Georgia calls, the girl leant against the car, arms folded and eyes narrowed in annoyance as y/n rolls her eyes.
"Yeah." y/n tells her. "See you soon!" y/n grins at Sydney who waves at her as y/n climbs into the taxi.
"About time." Georgia scoffs before nodding at Sydney although slightly tightly before Georgia sunk into the car and shut the door.
y/n sighs at the girl's attitude but quickly slides her headphones on and easily ignores the glare Georgia sent her way and the driver awkwardly clears his throat as he drives away.
Sydney watches the car go, a wedge of confusion stuck in her at the fact the two girls she played with could not see what she could so clearly.
"Dummes Mรคdchen. Also offensichtlich eifersรผchtig." Sydney can't help but say as she begins to walk home.
Stupid girls. So obviously jealous.

y/n and Georgia made it to the airport, neither having said a word to the other since the ride began, both placing their headphones on and ignoring the other - anger swirling for reasons neither really understood.
The two checked in their baggage as if they were separate travellers who didn't know each other. They went and got coffees from separate places as if they were not friends.
And when they sat down on the plane, the two turned away and closed their eyes, preparing to sleep the short journey.
"Why are you angry with me?" y/n asked quietly, trying not to be too loud. But Georgia didn't answer, she simply turned to face the window.
y/n sighed, rolling her eyes and leaning down, pulling her eye mask out of her bag and placing Georgia's on her arm, knowing she struggled to sleep on the plane without it.
At the action, Georgia caved and turned to face y/n, but the girl already had her headphones and mask on, and was clearly no longer interested in the conversation.
And as the two sat next to each other, travelling back home to their national camp. Neither had felt so lonely in a long time.

๐Ÿ“the styles household, london.
In the cosy living room of your London home, you were seated on the comfortable sofa, engrossed in your phone, mindlessly scrolling through a sea of articles and social media updates. The late afternoon sun streamed through the curtains, casting a warm glow over the room. Little did you know that your quiet moment of distraction would soon be interrupted.
As you focused on the screen, absorbed in the latest news and fan discussions, the door to the living room creaked open, your husband walked in with two steaming cups of coffee in his hands. His presence went unnoticed at first, as you remained lost in your digital world.
He placed the cups on the coffee table in front of you, the clink of porcelain jolting you slightly. It was only when he sat down next to you on the sofa, that you realised he was trying to get your attention.
"Coffee's ready, mโ€™love," he said, his voice soft and warm, his green eyes filled with affection.
However, you were in a daze, still glued to your phone screen. You didn't respond to him, not even a glance in his direction. You were too wrapped up in the article that had captured your attention, a piece discussing the growing speculations about your personal lives.
Harry tried again, leaning in closer, his lips brushing your ear as he spoke, "ey, darlinโ€™, coffee's ready."
But once again, you didn't react. It was as if the world outside your phone had ceased to exist.
Growing concerned, Harry gently reached out and plucked the phone from your hand. That action snapped you out of your reverie, and you blinked up at him, a mix of surprise and annoyance in your eyes. Your fingers instinctively reached for the phone, but it was too late. He had already read the article that had you so captivated.
He lowered the phone onto the coffee table, his gaze shifting from the screen to your face, his expression a mixture of understanding and curiosity.
"Sโ€™this why yโ€™been so quiet?" he asked, his thumb softly stroking your cheek.
You hesitated for a moment, then nodded, feeling a lump form in your throat.
"Yeah," you admitted, your voice barely above a whisper. "People are starting to speculate, and I... I just don't know what to do."
Harry let out a sigh, his arm encircling your shoulders as you leaned into his comforting presence. His hand instinctively found its place on your four-month-old baby bump, a reassuring touch that never failed to make you feel loved and protected.
"Mโ€™don't have tโ€™do anything, yโ€™know," he said gently, his thumb tracing circles on your arm. "We can just let people speculate and mind their own business."
You shrugged your shoulders, a sense of unease still gnawing at you.
"Maybe," you murmured. "But it might be best to say something, not everything, just enough to quieten down the news a bit."
Harry considered your words for a moment, his fingers softly playing with your hair.
"Yeah," he finally agreed, his tone soft and supportive. "Whatever gets them off our backs. We'll figure it out together, love."

yourinstagram, These past years with Arsenal have meant the world to me โ€“ it's been my life, my passion, and my family. But now, as I prepare to welcome a new life into the world, it's time for a different chapter.
Taking a little break from football to focus on being a mother is both exciting and daunting, but I know it's the right choice at this moment. The support I've received from my Arsenal family has been overwhelming, and I'm immensely grateful for it.
Arsenal, you've given me memories and friendships that will last a lifetime. The Emirates Stadium, the roar of the crowd, and the iconic red and white colors will forever hold a special place in my heart. It's not goodbye; it's a 'see you soon.'
I promise, I'll be back at Arsenal before you know it, ready to wear the badge with pride and give my all on the pitch. Until then, keep cheering for our incredible team. The future is bright for both me and Arsenal, and I can't wait to share it with you all.
To all my fans and well-wishers, thank you for being a part of my journey. Your love and support mean everything to me, and I can't wait to share this new adventure with you. Stay tuned for updates, because this is just the beginning of a beautiful chapter. โค๏ธ

๐Ÿ“oxford street, london.
You slip your hand into Harry's, fingers intertwining comfortably as the two of you approach the quaint baby shop on a sunny Saturday afternoon. You're wearing one of your husband's oversized hoodies, and it envelops you like a warm hug. The soft fabric brushes against your growing baby bump, making you smile as you feel the reassuring presence of your little one.
Harry squeezes your hand gently and smiles down at you, his eyes filled with excitement.
"Ready fโ€™a bit of baby shopping, mโ€™love?" he asks, his voice filled with anticipation.
You nod, a contented sigh escaping your lips. "Absolutely, H. It's finally sinking in, isn't it? We're going to be parents."
He chuckles warmly, giving your hand another gentle squeeze. "It sure is. And I can't wait."
Together, you step inside the baby shop, greeted by an array of pastel colours and adorable baby clothes. The scent of freshly laundered fabrics and the soft lullabies playing in the background create a serene atmosphere. You both exchange glances, your hearts filled with a sense of wonder.
Harry's eyes light up as he spots a display of tiny baby shoes. He bends down to pick up a pair, holding them up for you to see. "Look at these, mโ€™love! Aren't they cute?"
You smile, nodding in agreement. "They're adorable, H. But we still don't know if it's a boy or a girl."
He grins mischievously. "Sโ€™the fun part, isn't it? We get tโ€™imagine everything, no matter what."
You laugh softly and begin browsing the baby clothes section. Each tiny outfit seems more charming than the last. You hold up a tiny onesie featuring a little elephant design and show it to Harry. "What do you think of this one?"
Harry's eyes soften as he looks at the onesie. "Sโ€™perfect, love. But let's keep exploring. We โ€˜ave all the time in tโ€™world tโ€™choose."
As you continue wandering through the shop, you chat about nursery ideas and baby names, sharing dreams and hopes for the little one on the way. Harry's face lights up with every discussion, and you can see the excitement in his eyes.
Eventually, you find yourselves in the section with baby books. Harry picks up a children's storybook, and he starts reading aloud from it. His voice is soothing, and you can't help but imagine him reading bedtime stories to your future child.
With a heartfelt smile, you rest your head on his shoulder and whisper, "I can't wait for all these moments, Harry."
He places a gentle kiss on your forehead and says, "Me neither, mโ€™sun. Sโ€™going tโ€™be the most incredible journey."
You continue to explore the baby shop with Harry, your hands still firmly intertwined. The adorable baby outfits, soft blankets, and tiny booties are a sight to behold. You're both drawn to a display of plush toys, and Harry playfully picks up a stuffed bunny, making it dance in the air.
He looks at you with a grin. "What do yโ€™think, mโ€™love? Should we get this fโ€™our little one? It looks like a good dancing partner."
You laugh, the sound filling the shop with warmth. "I think our baby would love that bunny. It's got your sense of humour."
Harry pretends to hold a conversation between the bunny and himself, making you giggle even more. "Well, little one, sโ€™settled then. Yโ€™getting a dancing bunny!"
As you move deeper into the shop, you find a display of cribs and baby furniture. Harry's eyes light up as he examines each one, carefully running his hand over the smooth wood.
"I can't believe we're going tโ€™have a little crib like this soon," he says softly.
You stand beside him, resting a hand on your belly. "It's all becoming so real, isn't it? I can already picture our baby sleeping peacefully here."
He leans down and places a gentle kiss on your cheek. "I love you, and I love our little family."
Touched by his words, you hug him tightly. "I love you too, H. We're going to be amazing parents."
After a bit more browsing, you finally decide on a few baby essentials โ€“ a neutral-coloured crib, some soft blankets, and a collection of onesies. As you approach the checkout counter, Harry takes your hand in his once more, his thumb gently tracing patterns on your knuckles.
The shop assistant smiles warmly as she rings up your purchases. "Congratulations on the upcoming addition to your family. It's such a special time."
You thank her with a grateful smile, and as you and Harry exit the shop, you can't help but feel a profound sense of joy and excitement.

๐Ÿ“ the royal london hospital, london.
โฑ๏ธ 10:36am.
Laying on the sterile, cold operating table, you couldn't escape the overwhelming sense of vulnerability as your body lay exposed to the sterile environment. The air in the room felt chilled, and your trembling body seemed to amplify the anxiety coursing through you. Harry sat beside you, his fingers intertwined with yours, his face etched with worry as he witnessed your anguish.
The surgical team bustled around you, their masks and gowns obscuring their expressions, but their efficiency was evident. You could feel the coolness of the surgical drapes against your skin as they prepped the area. The antiseptic scent hung in the air, a reminder of the gravity of the situation.
As the surgeon began the procedure, you felt a strange combination of sensationsโ€”a tugging, a pressure, and the constant awareness of their hands within you. The room seemed to spin, and you struggled to focus on anything but the ache in your chest and the numbing sensation creeping upward from your lower body.
You turned to Harry, your voice trembling as you voiced your deepest fear. "Harry, if anything goes wrong..."
He leaned in close, his lips brushing against your ear, his voice soft but resolute. "Mโ€™Love, vโ€™got the best team โ€˜ere, and yโ€™the strongest person I know. We're going tโ€™get through this, all three of us."
His words were a lifeline in the storm of uncertainty, and you clung to them, trying to push away the doubts that threatened to engulf you.
Minutes felt like hours, and you couldn't shake the feeling of helplessness as the surgical team worked diligently around you. You focused on Harry's presence beside you, his grip on your hand unwavering, the touch of his thumb brushing soothing circles against your skin.
When the operation reached its tenth minute, the room was filled with an eerie silence, broken only by the rhythmic beeping of machines. Your heart pounded in your chest, and you squeezed Harry's hand tighter, your voice trembling as you spoke, "Harry, please..."
Before you could finish, a sudden change in the atmosphere broke the tensionโ€”a newborn's cries filled the room, a sound so sweet and pure it brought tears to your eyes. You gasped, and Harry's eyes widened with relief and joy.
The anesthesiologist asked another doctor to lower the curtain, and as the room held its collective breath, the words finally cameโ€”a pronouncement that would change your lives forever.
"It's a boy."
Your eyes filled with tears of joy, and Harry leaned down to kiss your forehead, his voice quivering with emotion as he whispered, "Our son, mโ€™love. Our beautiful son."
โฑ๏ธ 14:12pm.
Later in the afternoon, the soft glow of the setting sun filtered through the curtains of your hospital room, casting a warm, comforting light. You lay in the hospital bed, feeling tired and sore from the earlier surgery, but the pain was a distant thought as you gazed at the sight that brought you immeasurable joy.
Harry sat in the chair beside your bed, his shirt off, his bare chest cradling your sleeping son against his skin. It was a tender moment of skin-to-skin contact, a precious bonding experience that filled your heart with love.
Your newborn son lay contentedly on Harry's chest, his tiny fingers curled around his father's. Harry's eyes were fixed on the baby's peaceful face, his expression a mix of awe and wonder, and a proud smile curved his lips.
" โ€˜Ey there, little one," Harry whispered, his voice a soft, soothing murmur that only your son could hear. "Yโ€™have no idea how much yโ€™mum and I love yโ€™already. Vโ€™been waiting fโ€™yโ€™fโ€™so long, and now that yโ€™here, sโ€™like a dream come true."
Tears of joy welled up in your eyes as you listened to Harry pour his heart out to your son seeing as you were very hormonal. It was a beautiful moment, a glimpse into the incredible father he would be.
"Yโ€™got a whole world of adventures waiting fโ€™yโ€™little buddy," Harry continued, his voice filled with tenderness. "We'll teach yโ€™about music and art, and I promise tโ€™read yโ€™bedtime stories every night. We'll go on hikes, explore new places, and we'll always have yโ€™back."
Harry's hand gently brushed your son's delicate cheek, and the baby let out a soft sigh, as though he could feel the warmth and love radiating from his father.
"We'll be there fโ€™yโ€™first steps, yโ€™first words, and every moment that follows," Harry whispered, his eyes shimmering with emotion. "Yโ€™our greatest gift, and we'll cherish yโ€™every day of our lives."
As you marveled at your little family, a gentle knock sounded through the door, and then it creaked open. In walked Anne, Harry's mum, and Gemma, his sister, holding a bouquet of colorful flowers and a "Congratulations" balloon.
"Can we come in?" Anne asked, her eyes filled with warmth and excitement.
You nodded your head, feeling a rush of gratitude for the family that had come to celebrate this special moment with you.
Anne and Gemma approached the bed, their smiles radiant.
"Oh, Harry, look at him," Anne cooed as she reached out to gently stroke the baby's cheek.
Gemma held up the balloon, a playful grin on her face. "Congratulations, you two! He's absolutely perfect."
Harry beamed at his mum and sister, pride and love evident in his eyes. "Thanks, Mum. Thanks, Gem. We couldn't be happier."
Anne leaned down to place a gentle kiss on your cheek. "You did wonderfully, dear. And H, you're going to be an amazing father."
Tears welled up in your eyes at her kind words, and you looked at Harry, whose eyes were now shimmering with emotion. "We're so grateful to have all of you here with us."
Anne and Gemma took turns holding the baby, their voices filled with affection as they cooed and chatted with the tiny newcomer. The room was filled with laughter and love, and it felt like the perfect beginning to your family's journey.

๐Ÿ“ the styles household, london.
It was around 2 in the morning when the sweet sound of your son's cries filled the room. You and Harry stirred in your sleep, but it was Harry who gently untangled himself from the sheets, his warm arms slipping away from your waist.
With a soft, sleepy smile, Harry planted a kiss on your forehead before whispering, "I'll go get him, mโ€™sun."
You nodded, grateful that he could handle this round of late-night parenting, given your ongoing recovery from the surgery. It had only been four weeks, and while you were slowly regaining your strength, certain tasks were still a bit challenging.
Harry padded over to the crib that sat on his side of the bed, where little Bowie was kicking his tiny legs and reaching out his arms in search of comfort. Harry's heart swelled as he scooped up his son, cradling him in his strong, loving arms.
" โ€˜ey there, lilโ€™man," Harry cooed, his voice a gentle murmur that instantly calmed Bowie's cries. "Sโ€™got yโ€™all worked up, hm?"
Bowie's wide eyes gazed up at his dad, and his tiny fingers reached out to grab onto Harry's finger. It was a sight that melted Harry's heart every time.
Harry carefully carried Bowie over to the changing table tucked in the corner of the room. The room was dimly lit, with only a soft nightlight casting a warm glow, creating an atmosphere of tranquility.
Gently laying Bowie down, Harry began the task of changing his nappy with a tenderness that only a loving father could provide. He unfastened the nappy with practiced ease, revealing the tiny, wriggling legs beneath. As he lifted Bowie's legs, he couldn't help but shower the baby with soft kisses on his chubby thighs, eliciting delighted gurgles from the little one.
With great care, Harry used a baby wipe to cleanse the delicate skin, his movements unhurried and full of affection. He whispered soothing words and made funny faces to keep Bowie entertained, ensuring the nappy change was not just a task but a moment of connection between father and son.
Once Bowie was clean and dry, Harry reached for a fresh nappy and smoothly slid it underneath. He fastened the nappy with gentle precision, making sure it was snug yet comfortable for his precious son.
"All done, Bowie," Harry whispered with a grin, his fingers playfully tracing little circles on the baby's tummy. "Yโ€™such a champ during nappy changes."
Bowie's cries had turned into happy coos and giggles by the time Harry scooped him up, carrying him back to the bed. As you watched your husband cradle your son, a deep sense of love and gratitude filled your heart.
In that quiet, intimate moment in the middle of the night, you realized that this was the magic of parenthoodโ€”the late-night wake-up calls, the nappy changes, the sleepy smiles, and the unbreakable bond between the three of you. It was messy, tiring, and utterly beautiful all at once.

mascot II l.williamson
"you nervous?" you asked, leaning in your door frame as leah glanced over to you with a firm shake of her head. "no." she replied quickly, not an ounce of doubt present in her voice but you knew her well enough to see the flicker of unease in her eyes.
you stepped into the bathroom, making your way over to her and gently pushing her hands out of the way where she'd been messing about with the collar of her jacket.
"it's okay if you are, means its important and you want to do well." you assured softly, folding over and smoothing out her collar, tapping her shoulders with a smile.
"maybe a tiny bit nervous then." your girlfriend admitted quietly, pulling you into a sudden hug as her chin rested on your shoulder.
"you mean to tell me the leah williamson, england captain and european champion is human?" you gasped teasingly, leah pinching your sides.
"you'll be brilliant my love. you've done everything right lee, now its time to go and enjoy it." you smiled kindly, holding her away from you at arms length, your hands gently clasping her face.
"what if i mess it up again?" the doubt was now clear in her facial features as her eyebrows turned downward into a deep frown.
"like i said lee, you're human. football has ups and football has downs, you've been smashing it back on pitch for arsenal. this isn't anything different, you go out and you give 100% and do your best for your country. no one can ever expect anything more from you than that." you assured, eyes never leaving hers as she nodded.
"i love you." she replied simply, leaning in and pressing her lips to yours. you indulged her for a moment, leahs hands slipping down to your hips and drawing your body closer into hers.
"i need to go before you get in trouble for having visitors." you pulled away with a smile, leah sighing but nodding none the less. "stop pouting, i'll be seeing you in like three hours." you laughed at her face, sweetly pecking her lips a few more times.
"i'll meet you with the mascots yeah? you'll have mia?" leah asked, hands grabbing yours and fiddling with your fingers as you hung about by her door. "we'll be there." you promised, your girlfriend nodding as you opened the door.
"ah! captain mode, be professional." you warned with a playful glare as she took the opportunity of your back facing her to reach out and smack your bum, her usual cheeky grin returning as you shook your head.
then with one more final kiss goodbye, you were gone.
~
"how does she seem?" you murmured quietly to keira, keeping a watchful eye on your niece as she ran around giggling, making friends left right and centre forever the social butterfly. "good. stern and serious as usual!" keira chuckled, bumping her shoulder into yours.
"back to herself then." you laughed quietly, greeting a few of the other girls as they joined you, your girlfriend still not to be seen as they called out for the mascots to line up so the girls could meet them properly.
you bid keira goodbye and squatted down as mia ran over. "come here you grub." you laughed with a shake of your head, re-tucking in her shorts and smoothing out her hair.
"you are just like your dad." you chuckled, your older brother forever bouncing about like an energizer bunny nearly his whole life. "do i have to tuck it in?" she groaned, stamping her foot and pulling her shirt back out of her shorts.
"all the very best footballers tuck their shirt." you looked up to see your favourite smile bearing down on you, mia tackling leah in a hug and wrapping tightly around her leg. "can you do it please?" mia asked, lifting her arms as leah knelt down to help her tuck it in.
"mia! what was wrong with how i did it?" you gasped in mock offence, hand on your chest as your niece shrugged. "aunty lee's the best at everything." she answered simply, leah picking her up into a tight hug.
"yeah very mature captain williamson." you rolled your eyes at the older girl who stuck her tongue out at you over the five year olds shoulder making her giggle. snapping back out of it your girlfriend gently placed mia back down, again squatting to her height.
"hey mee." leah started, poking at her sides and making her squeal. "so when you walk out with me in a little bit i won't be smiling very much. i want you to know that doesn't mean i'm upset or grumpy or anything. but all of this-" she paused to gesture her hands around the room.
"-this is my job. and part of my job means i have to be a bit more serious than usual, and make sure all my girls are ready to play the best football we can. but that doesn't mean im cross with you, okay?" leah finished with a reassuring smile, mia nodding along in understanding as your heart melted at the sight.
"you're the boss!" your neice chirped, tapping the england crest on leahs top with her hand making you laugh as your girlfriend grinned up at you.
"nah not the boss, just wear the armband and look after the girls. don't tell anyone but really i just pretend to know what im doing!" leah whispered looking around before grinning at the five year old, ruffling her hair and standing up as the refs appeared ready to walk out.
"now mia you listen to aunty lee when you're out there yeah? and then as soon as you're told to you come right back and meet me here and i'll take us to our seats. okay? no funny business!" you warned, your niece nodding as leah held out her hand, stern look already settled into her features as mia bounced excitedly on her feet.
knowing better than to break leahs professionalism you took a step back, huddling on the edge of the tunnel with the families of the other mascots as the girls walked out.
watching on as mia sang her heart out to the national anthem made your own melt, catching leah almost break her serious facade, some of the other girls chuckling at the unbridled passion from your niece.
it was so fast you might have missed it if you blinked, but you saw the indescribable pride flicker across your girlfriends face as she used the back of her hand to wipe away a single tear, masking it as she clapped and the girls started to disperse.
you smiled as mia raced over to you, babbling on and on as you chuckled, taking her hand and just catching leahs eye. "i love you." you mouthed, a small smile curling into the corners of her mouth as she winked quickly, dropping back into position as you hoisted mia up onto your hip and left to make your ways to your seats.
and you'd never felt prouder.

## reader x awfc !!
Tumblr media
hi all!! finally releasing this, which is in honour of jonas finally pissing off away from our girls and our team! i hope you enjoy! love always, RGx
warnings: angsty team x management arguments, mentions of mental health!
3.6k words.
โ€œiโ€™m sure the team will be buzzing with joy this evening after tonightโ€™s win, but how are the girls and yourself taking the recent and surprising departure of a lifelong gunner?โ€
โ€œyeah, as you said weโ€™re all pleased with the result tonight - it was a great match with a good side and i think the score reflects the determination we took onto the pitch with us.โ€ you watch as beth pauses, like she is searching for words that will do her feelings justice. โ€œshe was the best of us, not just the team but the best of us and our friends. i think she was and is destined for great things, but life and people unfortunately happened to get in the way. but iโ€™m happy, weโ€™re all, happy for her.โ€
you've known beth long enough to know when she is lying and it pains you to realise how the tone of her voice drops at the mention of you. it stings momentarily, but you shake it off and allow pride to take over you as the camera pans to the rest of the team taking their victory lap.
you find yourself smiling absentmindedly at your phone, having sat through the entire match with your eyes glued to your phone - watching your girls on the pitch from your home, instead of beside them for the first time in years. your stomach filled with a cocktail of emotions that you canโ€™t seem to process at this very moment. a toxic mixture of sadness and despair, twisted and twined with anger and hatred for what the situation had become.
its been two weeks since your statement went out, three since you made the decision and four since the argument. in an ideal world, it wouldnโ€™t have gone this way - you wouldโ€™ve stomached your feelings for longer and swallowed your bubbling anger, bit your tongue and carried on as usual. but for some reason, you just couldnโ€™t.
------
1 month ago.
a 3-0 win should be celebrated. it should fill you with joy and overwhelming excitement - but it doesn't. instead, it fills you with nothing but anger and resentment for the club you once loved, you used to love. in place of congratulations and pats on the back, is a lecture. a plethora of critiques and corrections despite the effort and conviction everyone had shown.
you and the rest of the girls stand huddled in a group in the locker room, stood in an agonising silence. your hair is still wet, from the sickly british rain that decided to visit, your face still tinted red and your chest still heaving.
you tune out to jonas' voice, watching absentmindedly as he paces ahead of the group - volume above his usual decibel as he tears into the group, pushing further and further. you don't listen, allowing your mind to wander. no one dares talk back, instead choosing to take his words. you, however, fail to be as nonchalant as them - swallowing the bubble of anger in your throat and biting your tongue to the best of your ability.
your mind is brought back into the tiled room at the snap of your name from the front of the group. you look up to be met with jonas' eyes on you - his eyebrows raised and seemingly awaiting an answer. "what?" you mumble through gritted teeth, eyes locked on his.
"do you care to fill the rest of us in on what is so important besides my feedback right now?"
you shake your head, matched with a sarcastic looking, sickly-sweet smile and lift your hand top gesture towards him. "oh please, carry on."
"i dont appreciate your attitude," he quips back, screwing his facial features together, feining disgust.
"whatever," you scoff, rolling your eyes and peeling yourself away from the bodies beside you - now overly aware of their eyes on you.
"i'm out." pause. "i'm going to leave, and have a glass of wine and celebrate a fucking win." you turn away from them, too busy to take off your kit and instead scrunching your clothes and belongings into your kit bag. "which by the way, is what we should all be doing! instead of standing here taking shit because he didn't like how we were moving on the pitch!"
there was a shift from him, and a deep red tint crept up his neck as he shot daggers at you from across the tiles. โ€œi do everything for this team! maybe once in a while, it would be nice for you to do the same if you think you know better! please, do tell us, what makes you think you have done anything of significance for this team? for arsenal!โ€
it changed, then. the small shred of sympathy you had, the small shred of guilt - gone. ripped from inside you and splattered across the walls of your home stadium locker room. the girls around you seemed shocked at his words, confused and unsure of what to expect next.
you paused. taking a deep breath and halting your shoving of clothes and shoes into your bag, and turning to face him directly through the sea of red and white kits in front of you.
โ€œwhat do i do, for this team?โ€ the question sounded almost broken, like you couldnโ€™t actually believe he was playing this card. you searched for the answer deep within yourself for a few seconds, allowing the hurt to build in your throat and fuel the fire burning deep behind your eyes and in the pit of your stomach. your eyes flicked over each of the faces now looking at you and a small smile teased at the corners of your lips as you looked at their concerned expressions.
after a few more moments of silence, you inhaled deeply and began. โ€œiโ€™ve given my life, to this club. to this team. i put in the work, i trained day and night in the academy, until i was enough for the senior team. and when i made it here, i made a difference. i stepped up when kim was out, when leah was out. when laura first moved here, i took her in.โ€ you paused, taking another shaky breath, cautious of the tears held back by nothing more than your water line. โ€œi donโ€™t expect you to give a shit. but whilst you were too busy tearing this team down. katie for her aggression, kim for her captaining style, leah for her rehabilitation, viv for her performance, beth for her drive, lia for training hours and every other fucking player in this building. i was building them back up, i was trying to make this right.โ€
silence fell over the room, and you shook your head. โ€œim done.โ€ you all but whispered, slinging your bag over your shoulder and moving towards the large doors leading away from the locker room. โ€œi canโ€™t do this anymore, this club is my home - and i will not watch you tear it down.โ€ you shoved the door, a single teare slipping down your cheek the second you heard the door swing back on its latch and close again. you didn't stop to say goodbye to the familiar faces in the building, instead, with your head down and focused on the floor beneath you - you walked straight into the carpark, got into your car and drove home.
as you drove away, the weight of your decision settled in your chest. you couldn't believe it had come to this, that you had walked away from the team you had poured your heart and soul into. all the emotions you had been burying for weeks and weeks on end were now uncontrollable, tears streaming as you contemplated your actions but you knew you couldn't bear to stay in an environment where your efforts were belittled and unappreciated.
after a 40 minute drive, you found solace and refuge in the familiar walls of your apartment. the silence enveloped you as you sank onto the sofa, reaching for your phone. you hestitated in pulling it out of your bag, unsure of what may be waiting for you when you unlock it.
but still, you did, heaving a deep breath when your screen lit up with a message from beth. her words expressing concern and confusion about what had transpired in the locker room. as you read beth's message, a mix of emotions washed over you - relief that someone cared enough to reach out, but also a pang of guilt for leaving without saying a proper goodbye. to her, to any of the girls in the room. you quickly typed out a response, skipping over the details of your motives - instead opting for a light hearted message, apologising for your abrupt exit and apologising for not controlling your temper.
minutes turned into hours as you sat there, staring at your phone, the weight of your actions heavy on your shoulders. you hadnโ€™t moved, still sat in your jacket and kit, boots still tied to your feet. the sound of a familiar notification pinged through the room - like it had been doing on repeat since that first message from beth, and you saw more messages popping up from your now ex-teammates.
------
1 week later - 3 weeks ago.
the days blurred into a week as you settled into a routine without the training sessions, team meetings, and the constant thoughts of upcoming matches that used to consume your time. you found freedom in the quiet moments alone, the weight of expectation now lifted off your shoulders, a sense of liberation starting to bloom within you. you finally felt like a person, not just a player.
you had been speaking to the girls everyday, each of them keeping you up to date on life behind the scenes of the club. the drama and tension seemed to have escalated in your absence, with rumors swirling about disputes between jonas and some of the other players. your decision to leave had sent shockwaves through the team, but it also seemed to have sparked a newfound sense of unity among everyone.
it was a miserable london evening when you got your first unexpected visit, darkness just creeping across the clouds when a knock at the door interrupted your law and order binge.
to your surprise, standing on your doorstep was leah, with a hesitant smile on her face.
a flood of questions and uncertainties raced through your mind as you stood frozen in the doorway, unsure of what to say or how to react to her unexpected visit.
"hey," leah began, her voice soft yet laced with underlying tension. "uh, can I come in?"
you hesitated for a moment, the inner turmoil evident on your face as you considered whether to welcome her inside. finally, you stepped back, wordlessly opening the door wider to allow her entry. leah entered cautiously, taking in the familiar surroundings of your apartment with a mix of nostalgia and apprehension.
there was a palpable tension in the air as you both stood in the living room, the silence stretching between you like a taut wire. you shared the quiet for a second or two before leah spoke up, her words carefully measured. "i know things have been rough lately... for all of us, you especially, i wanted to come here and talk, clear the air maybe?โ€
you studied her face, searching for any hint of insincerity, but all you found was genuine concern etched in the furrow of her brow. with a sigh, you nodded, gesturing towards the couch for her to sit. as she settled on the edge of the cushion, you perched on the arm beside her, like you used to.
"i just... i wanted to say that i'm sorry. sorry for not speaking up before, for not standing by you when things blew up. i let my own fears and doubts cloud my judgment, and i should have been there for you, we all should have been there for you."
her words hung heavy in the air, mingling with the unspoken tension that had plagued your relationship for months. you could sense the sincerity in her voice, the raw vulnerability that she rarely showed to anyone.
โ€œi appreciate it, but it wasnโ€™t your fight, le.โ€
โ€œyour fights are our fights, youโ€™re one of us, you always have been. you always will beโ€
you gave her a half smile in response, and moved closer to her on the sofa - opening your arms to her. she mirrored your smile, allowing your arms to wrap around her and hers around you.
after a few moments, you pulled away, looking at her directly. โ€œthank you, for coming round. and for looking after me for all these years. but i think,โ€ you paused, sniffling and turning your attention to the fabric of the sofa below you. โ€œi think its time,โ€
she nodded along with you, taking a deep breath before smiling at you. โ€œif thatโ€™s what you want to do, then do it, and we will support you. i promise.โ€
โ€œi donโ€™t know how to tell the girls, i havenโ€™t seen any of them since i left. i donโ€™t want them to find out through social media,โ€ you rambled.
โ€œweโ€™re all meeting at mine tomorrow, why dont you come along? i know they want to see you, and i think you deserve a night to relax with us - gunner style.โ€ you share a laugh at her comment, agreeing to see the girls. a small shred of anxiety tore through the depths of your stomach, but you shook it off; determined to do the right thing.
the next day seemed to fly by, seeming to disappear from you as you spent the hours doing odd jobs - attempting to distract yourself from the uneasiness gnawing at your insides.
now, you find yourself outside leahโ€™s flat. she said 7, but you underestimated the traffic at this time in this part of the city - so youโ€™re late, as per usual, and composing of yourself on the door step. after a deep breath, you raise your hand to knock.
once, twice, then the door flies open. a smiley young aussie waiting to greet you, her arms immediately around you and pulling you tight to her frame. โ€œjesus, i missed you,โ€ she whispers into your shoulder. โ€œi missed you too, k.โ€ you pull apart and she grabs your hand, pulling you from the now closed door and into the living area. itโ€™s littered with everyone you know and love.
they greet you like nothing has changed, arms wrapped around you and whispers, comments and remarks of support. you slip into the group like you never left.
after youโ€™ve eaten, and have returned to the living area, you stand up - allowing everyoneโ€™s eyes to fall on you. you take a deep breath, smiling at them then looking down at your thumbs. you twiddle them and enterlock your hands as you search for the best way to say it.
โ€œi wanted you to hear it from me, that next week, a statement will be released. a statement explaining my temporary contract termination from arsenal. i love you all, like my family. i donโ€™t want any of you to feel like any of this is your fault, but i just feel like iโ€™m at a different point in my life right now - a point where my views, and the clubs managmentโ€™s views no longer align. i canโ€™t jeopardise my mental health, for people who canโ€™t seem to put me, or my friends, first.โ€
you say it in one, your mouth and words moving faster than your brain can comprehend. you finish with a shallow breath, looking up to the group. they take it well, a few of them shedding tears at the offical loss of their friend and teammate, others hugging you and sharing comforting smiles. you know it needs to happen, but this is the part that kills you. leaving behind your family, your people.
the night draws to an end and you begin saying your goodbyes, promising to keep in touch and arranging plans to meet up soon. as you start making your way out of the room and towards the door, kim pulls you aside. you canโ€™t read her expression, a sickening mixture of sadness and happiness for you.
โ€œiโ€™ll miss you,โ€ she says softly, reaching out to squeeze your hand. โ€œbut I know youโ€™re doing whatโ€™s best for you. just donโ€™t be a stranger, okay?โ€
you nod, feeling a lump form in your throat as you hug her tightly one last time before heading out the door.
------
1 week later - 2 weeks ago.
3pm. your phone dings with a notification from the arsenal womanโ€™s football club instagram and app, giving you and thousands of others the news of a new and important post. you hover your finger over the notification, hestitating.
you open it eventually, propping your phone up as the video loads onto the screen. you cringe at the sight of you, expectant of whats to come.
โ€œhi gooners, itโ€™s so nice to sit down and speak to you. this year marks my 15th year at arsenal, if weโ€™re taking it all the way back to my first academy scouting when i was 8. i have nothing my fondness and admiration for this club, these people and this community. to be apart of this team and to watch the growth of womanโ€™s football has been an honour and a pleasure i will forever be grateful for. when i think back on my years here, i have nothing but happy memories. memories of friends, of wins and of losses, of meeting fans and selling out stadiums. some of these things we never believed would be possible, but you, every last one of you, have made it possible. after 15 years of my life dedicated to the game, i think itโ€™s time to take a break. temporarily and indefinitely, i will be taking a step back from the club. thank you all for your unwaivering support, it means the world to me. this is a special club, which remains my home. but my health and wellbeing needs to be my number one priority. thank you.โ€
you watch as the video comes to an end, and the messages, comments and likes begin. you switch off your phone after a few minutes, tucking it under a cushion on your sofa and resuming your show - tuning out the constant buzzing.
------
present day.
you watch until the live recording of the match ends, you watch all of the post-match interviews, with nothing other than a smile on your face. when the stream finally does end, you feel like you can breathe again, switching to your messages app and drafting a text into the groupchat to congratulate the girls on their win. you press send, then abandon your phone beside you somewhere on the sofa. paying it no mind and you lean back into the comfort of the cushions and pillows surrounding you.
as you sink deeper into the softness, you let out a content sigh, feeling a sense of peace wash over you. you close your eyes and let the sounds of the television fade into the background, relishing in the quiet of your own thoughts.
you dozed off, allowing the safety of sleep to engulf you for a few hours. you lay peacefully until the doorbell rings, jolting you awake. you groan in annoyance, wondering who could possibly be bothering you at this hour. you reach for your phone as you stand, 9pm. reluctantly, you shuffle away from the sofa and make your way to the door, rubbing the sleep from your eyes.
as you swing open the door, you are met with a pair of familiar faces that brings an instant smile to your lips. beth and viv, stand on your doorstep with a mischievous glint in her eyes.
"surprise!" beth exclaims, holding up a bottle of wine and a bunch of flowers. "we come bearing gifts. can we come in?"
you step aside, allowing them to enter, still slightly taken aback by their unexpected visit. they both breeze past the threshold, only stopping for a moment to give you a hug before making themselves at home on your sofa.
โ€œi didnโ€™t know you were back in london, viv!โ€ you exclaim, watching her set the flowers on the counter. โ€œand shouldnโ€™t you be out celebrating?โ€ you ask beth with a laugh, shutting the door and joining them on the sofa.
โ€œthereโ€™s no where we would rather be, mijn liefje.โ€
its the later end of midnight when you all start to tire, spread across the sofa and floor with eyes barely open and focusing on the movie playing.
โ€œdo you guys want to just stay here tonight? i donโ€™t wanโ€™t you driving home tired.โ€ you say through a yawn, stretching your back out and turning to look at the both of them cuddled up beside you. both of their eyes closed and chests rising peacefully. you smile to yourself, moving to grab a blanket from the basket beside you and cover them both up. you switch off the tv, turn off the big light and make your way to your bedroom.
it isnโ€™t long before youโ€™re asleep too.
------
the next morning you wake to a persistant buzzing sound, your phone rattling on your bedside table. notifications from twitter and instagram flood your lockscreen, along with messages from the arsenal groupchat and from distant friends.
your eyes are just barely open when you reach for it, giving your eyes a moment to adjust before looking at the screen. you swing yourself off the bed, feet finding the cold of the floor as you pad through the flat until you find beth and viv.
theyโ€™re awake, both sharing the same expression as they look at you in the doorway between the two rooms.
you begin to read from your phone. โ€œwe can confirm that jonas eidevall has resigned from his position as head coach of our womenโ€™s first team and leaves us with immediate effect.โ€

commitment - leah williamson x reader
Tumblr media
You always heard about โ€œdonโ€™t date athletesโ€ and โ€œathletes are players," but of course when good advice comes your way, you ignore it.
It was a bit insane to think that you could start talking to the one girl who could not be bothered with being in a committed relationship. That gut feeling telling you โ€œDonโ€™t get too closeโ€, โ€œDonโ€™t entertain herโ€, or โ€œDonโ€™t fall in too deepโ€ but you once again ignored it.
Honestly, you could not help it. It was like a craving to be around Leah all the time. It almost felt like an obsession of wondering, โ€œWhat is she doing?โ€, โ€œWhere is she?โ€, โ€œIs she thinking about me?โ€
Constantly checking your phone to see if she messaged you. Looking at her social media every hour on the hour. You were in deep and you knew it would eventually lead to hurting yourself. Yet, being someone with the typical heart-eye delusions, the thoughts in the back of your mind kept saying, โ€œShe will change for you.โ€
Trying to distance yourself never worked because every time you were at a safe enough distance she kept pulling you right back in. Leah knew that she had some type of hold on you and constantly used that to her advantage.
Just last week she was barely texting and calling you back. You understood that she was not obligated to do so since you two were not officially together, but you were most definitely a littleโ€ฆmaybe even a lot more than โ€œjust friends.โ€ The dates, the romantic gestures, and the PDA all confirmed that but you could never understand her constant pushing and pulling.
Leah knows exactly how to make it up to you though. She texted three days ago saying how sorry she was not keeping in contact, how she misses you like crazy and how she planned a whole day for just the two of you. You were strong this time, wanting her to feel how she makes you feel by not texting back and declining her calls those three days. Yet one slip of weakness and here you are right back in her bed.
____________________
โ€œI missed you so much you have no ideas.โ€ Leah tells you as she feathers kisses all over your face as you both lay in bed naked.
โ€œOh really? I would not have guessed.โ€ you said as you sat up from her chest and moved away from her a little. She froze looking at you with that cute frown that is usually stuck on her face and said, โ€œBaby I told you I am truly sorry, I really mean it. I have just been a bit busier since the launch of my third book. You know this.โ€
Leah wraps an arm around your waist pulling you back down closer to her. โ€œI am here now though, arenโ€™t I?โ€ You hesitantly relax into her and say, โ€œI know but a simple text or any sort of reply would have been nice. I just missed you.โ€ You can feel Leah smiling against your hairline after she lays a soft kiss there. โ€œI missed you too babe.โ€
After a moment of you two just enjoying each other's company she says quietly, โ€œHow about we get up, you come shower with me, and then we can go out and get some breakfast?โ€
____________________
Once again the cycle repeats itself with Leah distancing herself. No longer answering calls or texts. Although it hurt, you thought it would be best to leave things the way they were to protect your peace, even pushing yourself to be petty enough to block her number. It was almost like you were putting her up to the test to see how far she would go to get your attention.
Although she did swipe up on one of your Instagram stories of you in a tight shirt with no bra saying, โ€œIโ€™ve seen it, now delete it,โ€ but you ignored that as well.
____________________
Since being friends with Leah for many years you have grown closer with some of the Arsenal girls and with them loving your company, a couple of them have asked you to join them in celebrating the end of their USA tour at a local pub. People are either mingling by the bar, doing karaoke, or sitting around the reserved private table in the back.
Currently, you are at the bar getting a drink and you can feel Leahโ€™s eyes burning into the back of your skull.
โ€œWhatโ€™s going on with you two? You have been more grumpy than usual,โ€ Katie teases Leah as she sits in the empty seat next to her. โ€œShe's ignoring me,โ€ Leah sighs, still looking at you.
โ€œWhat have you done this time?โ€ Alessia asks from across the table. โ€œIโ€™ve been kind of avoiding her again. I donโ€™t mean to but I donโ€™t know what Iโ€™m doing.โ€ Leah replies.
โ€œHave you tried talking to her about how you feel? Do you actually want to have a serious relationship with her?โ€ Katie asks.
โ€œNo, I haven't talked to her. Every time I try to talk about us my mouth goes dry and all of a sudden I canโ€™t think, and of course, I want something serious with her Iโ€™m just nervous,โ€ Leah shakes her head and looks down at her fidgeting fingers.
Lia, who has been listening to the conversation from her seat next to Alessia, speaks up, โ€œWell you might need to tell her soon because the bartender is flirting with her heavily.โ€
This causes Leahโ€™s head to shoot up in your direction and sees the bartender smiling at you and reaching her hand over to rest on your forearm. โ€œYeah, not happening.โ€ Leah quickly stands up from her seat and pushes past people to make her way over to you.
When she gets to you she gently wraps an arm around your waist not to startle you and pulls you back into her chest. She gives her glare that she usually saves for the pitch to the bartender, making her quickly release your arm and turn her attention to another customer waiting at the other end of the bar.
Leah smiles when you relax into her and she whispers in your ear, โ€œYouโ€™ve been avoiding me.โ€ You slowly turn around until you are face to face with her and say. โ€œHurts doesnโ€™t it?โ€
โ€œI deserve that. Why donโ€™t we go have a chat and I will explain myself?โ€ Leah says, moving her hand to grab yours. โ€œReally? You want to talk now and here?โ€ you scoff.
Leah just nods and gently pulls your hand so that you follow her out to the back patio of the pub. She sits on a bench that is a little bit away from the loud building and pulls your hand down to sit next to her.
โ€œYou know you shouldnโ€™t just flirt with anyone, she could've just been charming you into being her next one nightstand,โ€ she says.
โ€œHmm, pot meets kettle huh? You would know,โ€ you scoff pulling your hand away from hers.
โ€œNo, I wouldnโ€™t, because we are more than that,โ€ she firmly replies.
โ€œIt sure doesnโ€™t feel like it sometimes.โ€
โ€œI know,โ€ she sighs, focusing on her shoes, โ€œbut I can explain.โ€
You look at her and slightly nod your head giving her the indication to keep talking.
โ€œI love everything about us. I love how we are with each other. How easy it is to be around you and the connection that we have. Iโ€™m just scared of the reality of us being together because it seems too good to be true,โ€ she confesses. โ€œDonโ€™t get me wrong I do want to be with you and I am serious about you but there is this nagging feeling in my head that I am going to screw it all up.โ€
You grab her hands gently and say, โ€œThatโ€™s completely understandable Leah, I wish you would have communicated with me about how you felt earlier. However, you canโ€™t make future assumptions about something you or we havenโ€™t even tried yet. Neither of us has any idea of what could happen but it doesnโ€™t mean push away and hide from it.โ€
You continue, โ€œYou are looking too far into the future when you should be focusing on right now. That self-sabotaging brain of yours is going to stall you for great things one day.โ€ you giggle pushing her head away making her laugh too.
After the giggles die down she says, โ€œYou are completely right. If you allow me to give thisโ€ฆus another try I am willing to put my all into it. I just ask that you give me that reassurance.โ€
โ€œI can give you that, but you have to promise to communicate with me.โ€ you nod raising your hand to move a piece of hair out of her face.
โ€œI promise to communicate my feelings to you,โ€ she replies leaning into your hand.
You smile and stand up from the bench pulling her up with you to give her a hug resting your head against hers. Leah pulls back a bit to give you a few quick pecks on the lips causing you to giggle and move away.
โ€œMy girl,โ€ she whispers, pulling you back against her and laying one last kiss on the side of your head.
____________________
Since that day Leah has kept her promise of communicating more and you have kept yours by reassuring her when she needed it. She even asked you to officially be with her a couple weeks later and it had felt as though something shifted in the air.
She was constantly texting, calling, and wanting to be attached to your hip. When you too were with each other in person she would constantly cling to you but you were okay with it since that is what you were wanting from the beginning.

The camera zooms back from the Arsenal badge to show Alessia, Katie and y/n sat at a table laughing and they all smile at the camera.
โ€œHi Iโ€™m Alessia Russo.โ€ Katie begins, Alessia laughing as she shakes her head.
โ€œIโ€™m y/n Williamson.โ€ Alessia adds, causing y/n to glare.
โ€œAnd Iโ€™m Katie Mccabe.โ€ y/n says, a mock Irish accent in her voice which causes Alessia to giggle.
โ€œOi!โ€ Katie says, leaning over to try and smack the younger girl but Alessiaโ€™s sharp light slap to Katieโ€™s hand stops her.
โ€œHa!โ€ y/n grins as Katie hisses like an angered cat.
โ€œThatโ€™s not fair! Sheโ€™s got her guard dog with her.โ€ Katie jokes at the camera as Alessia rolls her eyes but she smiles none the less.
โ€œAnywayโ€ฆโ€ y/n begins dragging out the โ€˜yโ€™. โ€œToday we are doing...โ€ y/n begins. "What are we doing?" She then asks, causing the spectators to laugh.
The spectators in question were, Leah, Beth and Vivianne, all of who were sat happily on the sofa, watching the three on camera.
"Who knows who best." Katie says, Alessia rolling her eyes playfully when she realises they have been tricked into a couple's challenge for the youtube.
It was no secret the fans loved Alessia and y/n together, consistently finding their relationship adorable and loving the small amounts of content they were sometimes given.
"So, both Less here and baby Williamson, have whiteboards and they will be asked questions by me, of course, and have to write the answer down." Katie explains.
y/n holds up her whiteboard excitedly, her eyes sparkling as she grinned at the camera, missing the way her blonde lover smiled softly at her, eyes filled with soft love.
"Then, whoever gets the most right, wins." Katie says, she then picks up a card. "Right, what are Russo's two preferred positions?" Katie asks.
"Easy!" y/n grins as she begins to scribble across the board, Alessia chuckling as she does the same.
They two turn their boards around, Alessia smiling proudly at her girlfriend when she sees they have the same initials.
"Well done baby!" Alessia grins and y/n's cheeks flush at the term of endearment even after all their time together.
"Aw look at her!" Katie teases, leaning over to pinch y/n's cheek between her fingers, however the sharp hit which stops her makes her pout. "Again?" Katie whines at her fellow teammate.
y/n however grins at her protector, leaning over to peck her cheek sweetly, before glaring at her sister who fake gagged in disgust at the show of affection.
"Okay, movin' on." Katie hums. "What is y/n's favourite apparatus?" She asks before scoffing. "Even I know that!" She adds.
y/n smiles as she quickly writes her answer, Alessia doing the same as they count down from 3 before flipping their boards 'floor' both bright against the white.
"I knew that!" Beth says excitedly and y/n grins at her.
"I've always loved it, and found it so fun." y/n explains.
"Scares me half to death." Alessia denies as she remembers all the times she had watched her girlfriend jump and flip too high for her liking.
"It's my job Less." y/n defends with a laugh.
As the game continues it is clear the two girls know each other very well, both of them getting the other's question continuously correct until it was neck and neck and the last question.
"What is y/n's favourite beam dismount?" Katie asks.
Alessia pauses, shock in her face as she realises she doesn't know. Leah's mouth drops at the fact her sister's girlfriend doesn't know this and y/n looks mildly amused as she writes down.
"I don't know." Alessia admits. "I have no clue." She adds and Katie gasps as y/n turns her board around. Showing the g-valued dismount in black ink.
"Double tuck back salto with full twist." y/n says simply.
"Because you can land it every time." Alessia realises with a groan covering her face with her hands as Katie names y/n the winner.
As filming wraps up and y/n helps the crew put their things away, two lanky arms wrap around her waist and pull her into a corridor she didn't recognise.
"Can't believe you didn't know my dismount." y/n teases. "I mean, I love you so much, and know everything about you, but you don't even know my famous dismount." y/n continues.
Alessia whines, her lanky body pressing to the front of her girlfriend's as she buries her head in her lover's neck, causing her to have to bend quite a bit.
"Stop." Alessia huffs. "Its so many words to remember." She adds as y/n shakes her head.
"Don't love me." She teases as Alessia shuts her up with a chaste yet deep kiss.
The blonde striker's hands tighten around her waist, pulling her closer as her fingertips seemingly bruise into y/n's body from the strength of her grip.
The blonde angles her head down and left, giving her a better angle to press herself against her lover, her tongue pushing against y/n's slowly opening mouth.
After a moment of tongues clashing, the kiss slows Alessia's hands sliding up to gently cup y/n's face before keeping their lips pressed softly together for a moment more.
"Still think I don't love you?" Alessia asks, pulling away slowly, her teeth pulling y/n's bottom lip with her slightly.
y/n cannot function for a moment, the deep kiss sucking all the oxygen from her head and ability to breath from her body, the only thing in her mind being the smell of her girlfriend's perfume.
"I think you should do that once more, just so I'm sure you do." y/n smiles after regaining her ability to speak.
"Gladly, amore mio." Alessia murmurs, before moving her head back down to kiss her lover once more. After what felt like seconds, the two still pressed deeply together a shout ran out.
"MY EYES!"

Out of My League
Leah Williamson x Reader
Word count: 3k
_________________________________________________
It had been a few months since you and Leah had made your relationship public. It wasnโ€™t exactly planned, but after a particularly passionate post-match celebration where youโ€™d jumped into her arms in front of the cameras, there was no hiding it anymore.
The reaction from the fans had beenโ€ฆ intense, to say the least.
Youโ€™d always known people found you attractive; it wasnโ€™t something that ever really mattered to you, but it became impossible to ignore when your name started trending on social media after every game. Whether it was because of your play or your looks, the fans seemed infatuated, and their comments ranged from flattering to downright objectifying.
Leah, on the other hand, never made a big deal out of it. She knew who you were beneath the spotlight, and thatโ€™s what she cared about. But there was one person who never missed an opportunity to remind her just how โ€œluckyโ€ she was.
Katie McCabe.
Katie had taken on the role of the teamโ€™s designated teaser from the moment she found out about you and Leah. And while it had started out as harmless banter, recently it had become a bit of a sore spot.
You were all at a team dinner one evening, seated at a long table in one of your favorite London restaurants. The food was good, the wine was flowing, and the team was in high spirits after a string of wins. You were sitting next to Leah, her hand resting casually on your thigh under the table, while Katie sat across from you both, already with a mischievous glint in her eye.
โ€œSo, Y/N,โ€ Katie started, her Irish accent cutting through the chatter at the table. โ€œHow does it feel being with the best center-back in the world?โ€ She winked at Leah, and for a second, you thought she might let it go there. But no, this was Katie.
Leah tensed beside you, her grip on your thigh tightening slightly. You shot her a reassuring smile, squeezing her hand under the table. She always tried to brush off Katieโ€™s teasing, but you could tell it was starting to get to her.
Katie, oblivious to Leahโ€™s discomfort, continued with a grin. โ€œHonestly, Leah, youโ€™re punching, arenโ€™t you? I mean, have you seen Y/N? Half the leagueโ€™s in love with her. Fair play to ya for locking that down!โ€
The table burst into laughter, and you chuckled along, though you could feel Leah shifting uncomfortably next to you.
โ€œCโ€™mon, Katie,โ€ you said with a playful smirk, trying to defuse the situation. โ€œLeahโ€™s got plenty of admirers too, you know.โ€
Katie leaned back in her chair, crossing her arms with a smug grin. โ€œOh, sure, but letโ€™s be realโ€”Y/Nโ€™s on another level. Youโ€™re like the footballing worldโ€™s version of a supermodel. Poor Leah must be sweating every time you walk into a room full of players.โ€
The laughter continued, but this time you felt Leah pull her hand away from your thigh. You glanced over at her, her jaw was tight, and she wasnโ€™t laughing anymore.
โ€œKatie, thatโ€™s enough,โ€ Leah said quietly, her voice strained.
But Katie, never one to back down, just raised an eyebrow. โ€œWhat? Canโ€™t handle the truth, Leah?โ€
Leah stood up so quickly that her chair scraped loudly against the floor, causing everyone to stop and look at her in surprise. โ€œIโ€™m going for some air,โ€ she muttered, her face flushed with a mixture of anger and embarrassment as she stormed out of the restaurant.
You sat there, stunned, as the rest of the table fell silent. Katie looked around, clearly surprised by Leahโ€™s reaction. โ€œWhat? I was only having a laugh.โ€
You frowned, pushing your chair back and standing up. โ€œYeah, well, sometimes itโ€™s not funny, Katie,โ€ you said, giving her a hard look before following Leah outside.
You found Leah outside the restaurant, leaning against the wall, her arms crossed as she stared out into the street. The cool night air did little to calm the tension radiating off her, and for a moment, you werenโ€™t sure what to say.
โ€œLeah,โ€ you called softly, approaching her cautiously. โ€œYou okay?โ€
She didnโ€™t look at you right away. Her jaw was clenched, and when she finally turned to face you, you could see the frustration and vulnerability in her eyes.
โ€œIโ€™m sorry,โ€ she muttered, running a hand through her hair. โ€œI didnโ€™t mean to cause a scene.โ€
You shook your head, stepping closer and gently reaching for her hand. โ€œYou donโ€™t have to apologize. Katie was out of line.โ€
Leah sighed, pulling her hand back and pacing a few steps away from you. โ€œItโ€™s not just Katie,โ€ she said, her voice wavering slightly. โ€œItโ€™sโ€ฆ everything. The fans, the comments, the constant reminders that youโ€™reโ€ฆ you, and Iโ€™m justโ€ฆโ€ She trailed off, unable to finish the sentence.
You frowned, stepping forward and placing a hand on her arm to stop her pacing. โ€œLeah, donโ€™t do that. Donโ€™t talk about yourself like that.โ€
She shook her head, her frustration bubbling over. โ€œBut itโ€™s true, isnโ€™t it? Youโ€™re Y/N. Everyoneโ€™s obsessed with you, and I canโ€™t go anywhere without hearing how Iโ€™m โ€˜punching above my weight.โ€™โ€
You blinked, taken aback by the raw emotion in her voice. โ€œLeah, I didnโ€™t know it bothered you this much.โ€
โ€œOf course, it bothers me!โ€ she snapped, and then immediately softened, as if regretting her outburst. She rubbed her temples, sighing heavily. โ€œI know itโ€™s stupid. I know none of it should matter, butโ€ฆ sometimes I feel like Iโ€™m constantly being compared to you, and Iโ€™m always coming up short.โ€
Your heart sank at her words. You had no idea Leah had been feeling this way, and now you felt a surge of guilt for not noticing sooner.
โ€œLeah, look at me,โ€ you said gently, taking both of her hands in yours and pulling her closer. โ€œI donโ€™t care what anyone else says. Youโ€™re not โ€˜punching.โ€™ I love you, and Iโ€™m with you because of who you are, not because of what anyone else thinks.โ€
Leahโ€™s eyes met yours, and you could see the conflict in themโ€”part of her wanted to believe you, but the insecurities were still gnawing at her.
โ€œI justโ€ฆโ€ she began, her voice barely a whisper. โ€œI donโ€™t want to feel like Iโ€™m not enough for you.โ€
That hit you hard. You took a deep breath and stepped even closer, cupping her face in your hands. โ€œLeah, you are more than enough. Youโ€™re everything. I donโ€™t care what the fans say, or what Katie jokes about. They donโ€™t know us. They donโ€™t know how much you mean to me.โ€
She searched your eyes for a moment, her walls starting to crumble. โ€œYou really mean that?โ€
โ€œOf course I do,โ€ you said softly, brushing a strand of hair behind her ear. โ€œYouโ€™re the best thing thatโ€™s ever happened to me. Youโ€™re strong, kind, beautiful, and more than anything, you make me happy. And thatโ€™s what matters.โ€
Leahโ€™s lips trembled slightly, and she let out a shaky breath as she pulled you into a tight embrace. โ€œIโ€™m sorry,โ€ she whispered into your shoulder. โ€œI didnโ€™t mean to blow up like that.โ€
You hugged her back just as tightly, running your hand up and down her back in soothing strokes. โ€œYou donโ€™t have to apologize. Iโ€™m sorry for not realizing how much this was bothering you.โ€
She pulled back just enough to look at you, her eyes softening as she gave you a small, apologetic smile. โ€œI guess I just let it all build up.โ€
โ€œI get it,โ€ you said, leaning in to press a gentle kiss to her forehead. โ€œBut from now on, you can talk to me about these things, okay? No more bottling it up.โ€
Leah nodded, her forehead resting against yours. โ€œOkay. I promise.โ€
You smiled, brushing your thumb over her cheek before leaning in to kiss her softly. When you pulled back, her smile was more genuine, and the tension in her shoulders had finally started to ease.
โ€œI love you,โ€ she said quietly, her voice full of sincerity.
โ€œI love you too,โ€ you replied, pressing another kiss to her lips. โ€œAnd donโ€™t worry, Iโ€™ll deal with Katie.โ€
Leah let out a small laugh, the sound lightening the mood. โ€œGood luck with that.โ€
After your heart-to-heart with Leah, you knew you couldnโ€™t just let Katie keep teasing her without consequences. Leah might have forgiven Katieโ€™s relentless jokes, but you werenโ€™t about to let her off that easily. If Katie wanted to joke about someone โ€œpunching above their weight,โ€ then maybe it was time to give her a taste of her own medicine.
The opportunity presented itself just a couple of days later during training. The team had been doing some drills, but the mood was lightโ€”everyone was in high spirits after winning their last few matches. Youโ€™d been watching Katie all session, waiting for the perfect moment, and it finally came during the cool-down, when everyone gathered around for a few minutes of stretching and chatting.
Katie, as usual, was at the center of it all, making jokes and keeping the team entertained. But this time, you had a plan.
You casually strolled over, sitting down beside Leah and stretching your legs out in front of you. Leah raised an eyebrow at the mischievous glint in your eyes but didnโ€™t say anything. She knew you well enough to know something was up.
As the team began to chatter, you leaned over and nudged Katie with a grin.
โ€œHey, McCabe,โ€ you called out, making sure your voice was loud enough for everyone to hear. โ€œHowโ€™s it feel dating the most attractive player on the team?โ€
Katie turned to you, confused at first, but then a cocky smirk appeared on her face. โ€œHa, as if youโ€™re talking about yourself there, Y/N. But, to be fair, I do have the best left foot in the league.โ€
You grinned wider, ignoring the jab. โ€œNo, no. I mean, your girlfriend, yeah? Howโ€™s it feel knowing youโ€™re punching way above your weight? Fair play to her, sticking around with you. What a catch.โ€
The laughter that rippled through the team was immediate. Katieโ€™s face faltered for just a second, and you saw her eyes narrow as she realized what was happening. She wasnโ€™t used to being on the receiving end of these kinds of jokes.
โ€œOi, watch it, Y/N. Donโ€™t be getting cocky now,โ€ Katie shot back, but the slight pink tinge to her cheeks told you she wasnโ€™t as cool as she was pretending to be.
โ€œOh, come on, Katie. Weโ€™ve all seen your missus during practice,โ€ you continued, turning the teasing dial up a notch. โ€œPretty sure if your girlfriend saw your left foot in action, sheโ€™d start questioning her life choices.โ€
More laughter. The whole team was eating it up. Even Leah, who was trying to keep a straight face beside you, couldnโ€™t help the small grin tugging at the corner of her lips.
Katie folded her arms, trying to maintain her tough exterior, but you could see the cracks starting to show. โ€œThatโ€™s rich, coming from you, Y/N. At least I donโ€™t trip over my own feet in front of the cameras.โ€
You shrugged nonchalantly, ready for that one. โ€œTrue, but I donโ€™t have to worry about that. Youโ€™ve got your hands full with everyone wondering how you managed to convince your girlfriend not to trade up.โ€
The team howled with laughter, some of them clutching their sides as they keeled over, and even the coaching staff was smirking. Katieโ€™s face was now fully red, and she threw you a glare that could have burned a hole through the field. But deep down, you knew she wasnโ€™t really angry. Embarrassed? Yes. But angry? Not quite.
โ€œWell, at least Iโ€™m not using my partner to prop up my ego,โ€ Katie shot back, trying to recover, but her voice wasnโ€™t as steady as it usually was.
You gave her a dramatic wink, leaning back on your hands as if you hadnโ€™t just dismantled her reputation in front of the whole team. โ€œNo need to be jealous, McCabe. Just know Leahโ€™s still mine, and Iโ€™m the one whoโ€™s got a catch.โ€
Katie opened her mouth, probably to throw another quip, but before she could, Leah chimed in.
โ€œCareful, Katie,โ€ Leah said, her voice calm but playful. โ€œYou donโ€™t want to make Y/N feel too good about herself, or I might start feeling insecure again.โ€
Katie shot Leah a look, her eyes wide with mock betrayal. โ€œOh, donโ€™t you start, too! Iโ€™m just trying to have a laugh!โ€
Leah grinned, clearly enjoying the rare moment of seeing Katie squirm. โ€œYeah, well, sometimes itโ€™s not so funny when youโ€™re the one getting picked on, is it?โ€
Katie was about to respond when Vivianne Miedema, who had been watching the whole thing with amusement, piped up. โ€œItโ€™s alright, Katie. We all know youโ€™re the real catch here,โ€ she said dryly, earning another round of laughter from the group.
Katie finally let out a groan, rubbing her hand over her face as she shook her head. โ€œAlright, alright, I get it! Y/Nโ€™s hilarious, Iโ€™m punching, and you all think Iโ€™ve got no chance. Can we move on now?โ€
You grinned triumphantly, leaning forward to give her a playful shove. โ€œJust wanted to give you a taste of your own medicine, McCabe. No hard feelings?โ€
Katie gave you a mock glare but then broke into a grin. โ€œNo hard feelings. But donโ€™t think I wonโ€™t get you back for this, Y/N. Itโ€™s only a matter of time.โ€
โ€œOh, Iโ€™m counting on it,โ€ you said with a wink.
The tension from earlier had evaporated, and even though youโ€™d embarrassed Katie in front of the whole team, she took it in stride. She might have been annoyed in the moment, but deep down, you knew she appreciated the banter. It was part of what made the team so close, and you couldnโ€™t help but feel a bit of satisfaction at getting some revenge for Leah.
As the team began to disperse, Leah pulled you aside, her eyes twinkling with amusement.
โ€œI canโ€™t believe you just did that,โ€ she said, shaking her head with a laugh. โ€œYouโ€™re going to be on Katieโ€™s hit list now.โ€
You shrugged, pulling her into a quick hug. โ€œWorth it. She needed to be taken down a peg, and besidesโ€ฆโ€ You leaned in, lowering your voice to a whisper. โ€œIโ€™d do anything to make sure you donโ€™t feel like youโ€™re not enough.โ€
Leahโ€™s expression softened, and she squeezed your hand, leaning up to press a soft kiss to your lips. โ€œI know,โ€ she said quietly. โ€œAnd I love you for it.โ€
You smiled against her lips. โ€œI love you too.โ€
The atmosphere at the training ground was light-hearted, as usual. The team had gathered for a post-training cool-down, and, naturally, the banter was in full swing. You and Katie had developed a playful rivalry over the past few weeks, your teasing battles becoming something of an expected part of the teamโ€™s routine.
Most days, it was harmlessโ€”small digs and jabs that made the team laugh and kept everyone on their toes. But today, the teasing had been especially sharp, and you could sense the tension rising between you and Katie. You werenโ€™t sure why, but she seemed particularly determined to get under your skin.
Katie grinned as she jogged over to where you and Leah were sitting. โ€œOi, Y/N, heard you were working on your footwork. Might want to call in some help from Viv, yeah? Could save you some embarrassment next time you trip over your own feet in front of the cameras.โ€
You rolled your eyes, smirking as you shot back without missing a beat. โ€œAnd maybe you could call Viv for some pointers on how to stay in the starting lineup, McCabe. Might help with all those bench-warming sessions youโ€™ve been having.โ€
The rest of the team laughed, a few of them throwing in their own jabs at Katie. Leah nudged you with a grin, clearly enjoying the exchange, but you could feel the competitive edge sharpening between you and Katie. This wasnโ€™t going to be just a casual back-and-forth today.
Katie raised an eyebrow, her smile tight. โ€œCareful now, Y/N. Donโ€™t forget, Iโ€™ve seen your one-on-one drills. If anyoneโ€™s warming the bench next, itโ€™ll be you. Donโ€™t worry, though, Iโ€™ll save you a seat.โ€
You chuckled, but the tension between you and Katie was growing. It was starting to feel less playful and more personal, though you werenโ€™t about to back down.
โ€œAh, well, if Iโ€™m warming the bench, at least I wonโ€™t be doing it alone. You and I both know youโ€™ve spent more time sitting out than playing lately, Katie. Maybe you should focus more on your game than on trying to be funny.โ€
Katieโ€™s eyes flashed, and the teamโ€™s laughter had a slight edge to it now. She stepped closer, her grin still in place but her tone sharper than before. โ€œAt least I donโ€™t have to rely on my looks to stay relevant, eh? Must be tough, being known more for your face than your football.โ€
The words hit you harder than you expected, and the smile faltered on your lips for a split second. Katieโ€™s dig went straight to the heart of one of your deepest insecuritiesโ€”that people only cared about you for your appearance, that no matter how hard you worked on your game, it would always be overshadowed by your looks.
The team went quiet, sensing the sudden shift in the mood. Even Leahโ€™s smile faded as she glanced between you and Katie, realizing that this had gone from playful banter to something more serious.
You swallowed, trying to shake off the sting of her words. You couldnโ€™t let Katie see how much that jab had affected you, but the knot in your stomach was growing.
โ€œWell,โ€ you said, your voice quieter now but still trying to maintain your composure, โ€œat least Iโ€™m relevant. Must be hard, Katie, knowing that no oneโ€™s really watching you unless youโ€™re on the bench or mouthing off.โ€
Katieโ€™s smirk faded slightly, but before she could respond, Leah stepped in, her voice calm but firm. โ€œAlright, thatโ€™s enough,โ€ she said, glancing between the two of you. โ€œItโ€™s all fun and games until someone takes it too far.โ€
Katie looked like she was about to say something, but then she hesitated, glancing at you. There was a flicker of something in her eyesโ€”maybe regret, maybe guiltโ€”but she didnโ€™t say anything. Instead, she just shook her head and backed off, walking toward the rest of the team.
You sat there, feeling the weight of Katieโ€™s words settle over you. It wasnโ€™t the first time someone had made a comment about your looks being more of a focus than your football, but coming from a teammateโ€”someone you thought you had a mutual respect withโ€”it stung in a way you hadnโ€™t expected.
Leah leaned closer, her hand resting gently on your back. โ€œHey, are you okay?โ€ she asked softly, her eyes full of concern.
You forced a smile, nodding slightly. โ€œYeah, Iโ€™m fine. Itโ€™s just Katie being Katie.โ€
But Leah didnโ€™t look convinced. She knew you too well. โ€œShe shouldnโ€™t have said that. You know that, right?โ€
You shrugged, trying to brush it off, but Leahโ€™s hand on your back stayed firm. โ€œY/N, youโ€™re more than just your looks. Youโ€™re an incredible player, and everyone here knows that.โ€
Her words were comforting, but the knot in your chest didnโ€™t loosen. You knew Leah meant well, and she was trying to reassure you, but the insecurity that Katie had prodded at wasnโ€™t something that could just be talked away.
โ€œI know,โ€ you said quietly, but even to your own ears, your voice sounded hollow.
Leah frowned, her thumb rubbing soothing circles on your back. โ€œDo you want me to talk to her?โ€
You shook your head. โ€œNo, itโ€™s fine. Iโ€™ll handle it.โ€
Leah gave you a look that said she wasnโ€™t entirely convinced, but she didnโ€™t push. She knew when to let you handle things in your own way.
The rest of training passed in a blur, but your mind kept circling back to Katieโ€™s comment. It echoed in your head, gnawing at the insecurities youโ€™d worked so hard to bury. By the time the session ended, you were barely listening to the conversations around you, just waiting for the chance to be alone with your thoughts.
But as you walked toward the locker room, you felt a hand on your shoulder. You turned to see Katie standing there, her expression a mix of guilt and awkwardness.
โ€œY/N, wait,โ€ she said, her voice softer than usual. โ€œCan we talk?โ€
You crossed your arms, unsure whether you were ready to have this conversation. โ€œWhatโ€™s there to talk about, Katie? You made your point.โ€
Katie winced, clearly not expecting you to be so blunt. โ€œI didnโ€™t mean it like that. I was justโ€”โ€
โ€œJust what?โ€ you interrupted, your frustration bubbling to the surface. โ€œTrying to be funny? Well, congratulations, because you really nailed it. I hope it was worth it.โ€
Katie sighed, running a hand through her hair. โ€œIโ€™m sorry, alright? I didnโ€™t mean to hit a nerve. It was justโ€ฆ we were going back and forth, and I wasnโ€™t thinking. I took it too far.โ€
You wanted to stay angry, to hold onto the hurt, but looking at Katie now, with her genuine regret and the tension in her shoulders, it was hard to keep the wall up. You sighed, shaking your head.
โ€œYeah, you did,โ€ you said, your voice quieter now. โ€œYou donโ€™t know how hard it is, Katie. Everyoneโ€™s always focusing on how I look, and no matter how well I play, itโ€™s never good enough. Iโ€™m always going to be โ€˜the pretty oneโ€™ instead of the footballer.โ€
Katie looked down, her guilt deepening. โ€œI know, and Iโ€™m sorry. I didnโ€™t realize it was like that for you. I was justโ€ฆ I donโ€™t know, trying to win the banter, I guess. But that was a shitty thing to say.โ€
You stared at her for a moment, weighing her words. Finally, you sighed, letting go of some of the tension in your chest. โ€œJustโ€ฆ donโ€™t do it again, alright?โ€
Katie nodded, her eyes sincere. โ€œI wonโ€™t. I promise.โ€
You nodded, and the two of you stood there for a moment in silence before Katie gave you a small, apologetic smile. โ€œWe good?โ€
You hesitated, then nodded again, this time with a hint of a smile. โ€œYeah, weโ€™re good.โ€
Katie grinned, relieved. โ€œAlright. But just so you know, Iโ€™m still going to kick your ass in the next drill.โ€
You laughed, rolling your eyes. โ€œWeโ€™ll see about that, McCabe.โ€
The house was unusually quiet as you sat on the couch, staring blankly at the TV. The show playing in front of you was some sitcom, the laugh track echoing in the background, but you werenโ€™t really watching it. Your mind was miles away, replaying Katieโ€™s words over and over.
"At least I donโ€™t have to rely on my looks to stay relevant, eh?"
You sighed, sinking deeper into the cushions. No matter how hard you tried to brush it off, the comment clung to you like a shadow, creeping into every thought. It wasnโ€™t just what Katie had saidโ€”it was the deeper fear behind it. A fear that had been gnawing at you for as long as you could remember.
Youโ€™d worked so hard to get to where you were, to be taken seriously as a footballer. But no matter how many matches you played, how many goals you scored, or how much time you spent perfecting your skills, the comments about your appearance never seemed to stop. The media, the fans, even some of the playersโ€”they all seemed more interested in how you looked than in how you played. And Katieโ€™s joke had only reinforced the insecurity that you werenโ€™t good enough, that people only noticed you because of your looks.
You hadnโ€™t told Leah how much it bothered you when Katie had said it. Youโ€™d brushed it off at the time, not wanting to make a big deal out of it, but now, sitting here alone, it was hard to ignore the weight of those words.
The sound of the front door opening snapped you out of your thoughts. Leah stepped inside, her hair slightly damp from her post-training shower, and she smiled when she saw you sitting on the couch.
โ€œHey,โ€ she said softly, kicking off her shoes and walking over to sit beside you. โ€œHow was the rest of your day?โ€
You forced a small smile, but it didnโ€™t reach your eyes. โ€œIt was fine,โ€ you said, your voice quiet.
Leahโ€™s brow furrowed as she studied your face, immediately sensing that something was off. โ€œWhatโ€™s going on?โ€ she asked, her voice gentle. โ€œYouโ€™ve been distant since training.โ€
You hesitated, not wanting to drag the mood down, but Leah had a way of reading you better than anyone else. She wasnโ€™t going to let this go.
โ€œItโ€™s nothing,โ€ you muttered, but Leahโ€™s gaze didnโ€™t waver.
โ€œY/N,โ€ she said, her tone soft but insistent. โ€œTalk to me. I know somethingโ€™s bothering you.โ€
You sighed, running a hand through your hair as you tried to find the right words. โ€œItโ€™s justโ€ฆ what Katie said. About me relying on my looks. Itโ€™s been stuck in my head.โ€
Leahโ€™s eyes softened with understanding, and she shifted closer to you on the couch, her hand gently resting on your knee. โ€œShe didnโ€™t mean it,โ€ Leah said quietly. โ€œYou know Katieโ€”she says things without thinking. Sheโ€™s already apologized.โ€
โ€œI know,โ€ you said quickly. โ€œI know she didnโ€™t mean it like that, butโ€ฆ it just hit a nerve, you know? Because sometimes it feels like thatโ€™s all people see. They talk about how I look, not how I play. And no matter how hard I work, itโ€™s like Iโ€™m always going to be โ€˜the pretty oneโ€™ instead of the footballer.โ€
Leah frowned, her hand squeezing your knee gently. โ€œThatโ€™s not true,โ€ she said firmly. โ€œYouโ€™re an amazing player, Y/N. Anyone who knows anything about football can see that. Youโ€™re not just here because of your looksโ€”youโ€™re here because youโ€™ve earned it.โ€
You swallowed, the lump in your throat making it hard to speak. โ€œBut it doesnโ€™t feel like that sometimes. It feels like no matter what I do on the pitch, itโ€™s always going to be overshadowed by something I canโ€™t control.โ€
Leah shifted closer, wrapping her arm around your shoulders and pulling you into her side. โ€œI get it,โ€ she said softly. โ€œI know itโ€™s hard. People focus on the wrong things all the time. But that doesnโ€™t change the fact that youโ€™re one of the best players Iโ€™ve ever seen.โ€
You leaned into her, resting your head on her shoulder as you tried to take comfort in her words. Leah was always good at reassuring you, at making you feel better, but the insecurity Katie had touched on wasnโ€™t something that could be easily shaken.
โ€œI justโ€ฆ I donโ€™t want to be seen as a joke, Leah,โ€ you admitted, your voice barely above a whisper. โ€œI donโ€™t want people thinking Iโ€™m only here because Iโ€™m attractive. Iโ€™ve worked so hard to be good at this, and it feels like it doesnโ€™t even matter sometimes.โ€
Leah pulled back slightly so she could look at you, her eyes full of warmth and sincerity. โ€œYouโ€™re not a joke, Y/N. Youโ€™re an incredible footballer, and anyone who tries to reduce you to just your looks doesnโ€™t know what theyโ€™re talking about. You belong here because youโ€™re talented, and youโ€™ve worked for everything youโ€™ve achieved. Donโ€™t let anyone make you feel like thatโ€™s not enough.โ€
You sighed, nodding slightly but still feeling the weight of the insecurity. Leahโ€™s words helped, but it was hard to completely shake the doubt that lingered in the back of your mind.
Leah tilted her head, studying your face for a moment before a small smile tugged at her lips. โ€œDo you want to know something?โ€ she asked, her voice soft.
You glanced up at her, curious. โ€œWhat?โ€
โ€œI donโ€™t care about how you look,โ€ Leah said, her tone teasing but her eyes sincere. โ€œI mean, donโ€™t get me wrong, youโ€™re ridiculously attractive, but thatโ€™s not why I love you. I love you because youโ€™re funny, and smart, and kind, and youโ€™re an amazing player. The looks are just a bonus.โ€
You couldnโ€™t help but smile at her words, a small laugh escaping your lips despite the heaviness youโ€™d been feeling. โ€œYouโ€™re just saying that.โ€
Leah shook her head, her smile widening. โ€œNope. I mean every word. And the next time someone tries to reduce you to just your looks, Iโ€™ll remind them why youโ€™re so much more than that.โ€
You smiled, feeling some of the tension in your chest loosen. Leah always had a way of making you feel seen, of reminding you that you were more than just what people said about you.
Leah reached up, brushing a strand of hair behind your ear as her eyes softened. โ€œIโ€™m proud of you, Y/N. For everything youโ€™ve accomplished. And Iโ€™ll always be here to remind you how incredible you are, even when you forget.โ€
You leaned in, pressing a soft kiss to her lips, grateful for her support. โ€œThank you,โ€ you whispered against her mouth.
Leah smiled as she pulled back, resting her forehead against yours. โ€œAlways.โ€
The two of you sat there in the quiet of your living room, the earlier heaviness slowly fading as Leahโ€™s words wrapped around you like a comforting blanket. Katieโ€™s joke still lingered in the back of your mind, but it didnโ€™t feel as sharp anymore. With Leah by your side, reminding you of your worth, you knew you could handle it.
As the night wore on, the insecurities that had weighed you down all day began to fade, replaced by the warmth of Leahโ€™s presence and the knowledge that, no matter what anyone said, you were enough.
The buzz surrounding the award nominations had been building for weeks, but you hadnโ€™t given it much thought. Sure, the prospect of being recognized for your hard work was exciting, but you were focused on the season ahead, training hard with your teammates and making sure you were ready for every match.
That was until the day of the announcement arrived. You were in the locker room, going through your usual pre-training routine, when you heard the excited chatter from the other players. Curious, you glanced up from your phone, where you had been scrolling through social media, and caught sight of Leahโ€™s wide smile as she rushed toward you.
โ€œY/N! Did you see? Youโ€™re nominated for the Ballon dโ€™Or!โ€ Leah exclaimed, practically bouncing on her heels.
You blinked, your heart racing at the unexpected news. โ€œWhat? No, I didnโ€™t see anything!โ€ You quickly reached for your phone, frantically searching for confirmation, and when the news article popped up, your breath caught in your throat.
Your name was right there, alongside some of the best players in the world. The realization hit you like a wave, crashing over you with a mix of disbelief and exhilaration.
โ€œOh my god, I canโ€™t believe this!โ€ you said, shaking your head in disbelief as you stared at the screen.
Leah laughed, wrapping her arms around you in a tight hug, her excitement infectious. โ€œYou deserve this, Y/N! Youโ€™ve worked so hard! This is proof that youโ€™re not just a pretty face on the pitchโ€”youโ€™re a phenomenal footballer!โ€
You felt your cheeks heat at her words, both thrilled and embarrassed by the praise. โ€œI mean, itโ€™s just a nomination,โ€ you said, trying to downplay it. โ€œThere are so many incredible players out there.โ€
Leah pulled back to look you in the eyes, her expression serious. โ€œExactly! And youโ€™re one of them! This nomination isnโ€™t just some flukeโ€”itโ€™s recognition for everything youโ€™ve achieved this season. Youโ€™ve scored goals, assisted like a pro, and played your heart out every match. Youโ€™re not just here for your looks; youโ€™re here because youโ€™ve earned it.โ€
Her words struck a chord within you, echoing everything you had been trying to convince yourself of. Maybe this recognition wasnโ€™t just about the attention your appearance drew, but rather a testament to your talent and dedication.
โ€œThanks, Leah,โ€ you said, feeling a warm flutter in your chest at her unwavering support. โ€œI guess I just never thought Iโ€™d be in the running for something like this.โ€
โ€œWhy not? Youโ€™re talented and passionate about the game. You bring so much to the team, and people are starting to notice,โ€ Leah said, her eyes sparkling with pride. โ€œThis is just the beginning for you, and I couldnโ€™t be happier.โ€
You couldnโ€™t help but smile at her enthusiasm, feeling your confidence begin to swell. โ€œI still canโ€™t believe it. I mean, Iโ€™ve dreamed of this moment since I was a kid, but now that itโ€™s actually happeningโ€ฆ itโ€™s surreal.
Leah leaned in, her voice low and sincere. โ€œYou deserve every bit of this recognition. Just remember that, okay? No matter what happens with the award, youโ€™re a fantastic player, and you should be proud of everything youโ€™ve accomplished.โ€
You nodded, her words wrapping around you like a warm embrace. โ€œI will, I promise.โ€
The rest of training flew by in a blur, your teammates buzzing with excitement and congratulating you as the news spread. Each well-wishing comment was a reminder of the support you had from the team, and it filled you with a sense of belonging that you had fought hard to find.
Later that evening, you and Leah settled onto the couch in your living room, the glow of the television casting soft light across the room. You scrolled through social media, reading the messages from fans and other players who had reached out to congratulate you.
โ€œThis is amazing,โ€ Leah said, grinning as she pointed at the screen. โ€œLook at all these supportive messages! Even some of the international players are celebrating you!โ€
You laughed, feeling a swell of pride at the community you had built around you. โ€œI never imagined Iโ€™d get this much attention. Itโ€™s overwhelming.โ€
Leah shifted closer, resting her head on your shoulder as you continued to scroll. โ€œJust think of it as validation. Youโ€™ve always said you want to be taken seriously as a player, and this is it. Youโ€™re proving everyone wrong about how they perceive you.โ€
You took a deep breath, the reality of her words sinking in. It wasnโ€™t just about being recognized; it was about being seen as a serious contender in the world of football, and it felt incredible.
โ€œThank you for being my biggest cheerleader,โ€ you said softly, leaning your head against Leahโ€™s. โ€œI donโ€™t think I couldโ€™ve done any of this without your support.โ€
Leah smiled, looking up at you with warmth in her eyes. โ€œIโ€™ll always be here for you, Y/N. Youโ€™re more than just a teammate to meโ€”youโ€™re my partner, and I believe in you. Always.โ€
As the evening wore on, you felt lighter, the earlier worries beginning to fade. The nomination wasnโ€™t just a title; it was proof of your hard work, your dedication, and your growth as a player.
With Leah by your side, you felt ready to take on whatever came nextโ€”whether it was the award ceremony, the upcoming matches, or the constant scrutiny that came with being in the spotlight.
In that moment, with Leahโ€™s hand intertwined with yours, you knew you could handle anything. You were more than just a pretty face; you were a force on the pitch, and this was just the beginning.

warning :
summary :
During training, while watching a match, fans notice Leah frequently checking her phone and smiling, a rare distraction for the usually focused player. Speculation can't help but grow.
Tumblr media
It was a chilly evening at the training grounds, and the Arsenal team was hard at work. The drills were intense, with coaches shouting instructions and players moving in perfect sync. Leah, known for her focus and leadership on the pitch, was no exception, giving her all as always. But today, something was different. During short breaks or while waiting for her turn in a drill, Leah would sneak glances at her phone, a soft smile tugging at the corners of her lips each time she read a message.
A few of her teammates noticed, nudging each other with amused expressions. โ€œWhatโ€™s got her so distracted?โ€ one of them whispered, stealing a glance at Leah, who was now quickly typing back a response, her eyes sparkling in a way that was rare to see during training. It wasnโ€™t like Leah to be distracted, especially during practice, where she was known to lead by example. But today, she didnโ€™t seem to mind taking those tiny breaks to check her phone.
The coaches raised an eyebrow but didnโ€™t comment. They trusted Leah; if something was pulling her attention away, it had to be important. After the training session ended, the players gathered their things, and one of Leahโ€™s friends decided to tease her. โ€œAlright, Leah, spill. Whoโ€™s got you grinning like that during training?โ€
Leah tried to play it cool, shrugging nonchalantly, but the blush on her cheeks gave her away. โ€œJust checking in on something,โ€ she said with a small, knowing smile. She didnโ€™t offer more, but anyone who knew her could see that this โ€œsomething" was clearly making her day a little brighter.
A few weeks later, Leah had the chance to watch a game from the stands, and she was excited to cheer on her friends. But throughout the match, fans nearby noticed something strange. Every few minutes, Leah would pull out her phone, quickly typing out a message before her attention returned to the game. She was still cheering, still fully engaged, but it was clear her focus was divided.
Social media was quick to pick up on it. Fans began to speculate, tweeting about how Leah, who was known for her love of the game, was clearly texting someone important enough to split her attention. Some joked that it must be football-related, while others wondered if it was a special someone. Between the cheers, the occasional glances at her screen, and the soft smile that followed each reply, it wasnโ€™t hard to guess that she was thinking about someone specific.
As the match wrapped up, Leah headed down to the sidelines, where some fans were gathering for autographs. Someone playfully shouted, โ€œLeah, who were you texting so much?โ€ She laughed, shaking her head, not offering an answer but not denying the question either.

LEAH WILLIAMSON SMUT WHERE YOURE DATING ANOTHER FAMOUS MALE FOOTBALLER BUT HES CHEATING ON YOU SO YOU CHEAT WITH HER AND YOU SEND HIM THE TAPE. Is that too much๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿ˜ณ
Sharing Is Caring
Leah Williamson x fem!reader
SMUT 18+
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Mason Mount spotted kissing new girl down the streets of Manchester
Once Leah saw the photos surfacing on every social media app, she immediately began to text you. Asking if you were okay or needed anything, but you didnโ€™t respond. You still havenโ€™t and itโ€™s already been a day which worries Leah, so she immediately goes to the store, grabs all of your favorite snacks and beverages, and races down to your apartment.
You scoop another spoonful of brownie ice cream and shove it in your mouth, not caring about the coldness on your sensitive teeth, too busy sulking and spacing out at the trashy reality show playing on the TV. Soon you hear someone crash in from the front door, making you turn your head swiftly.
A flustered Leah stands by the doorway with a basket full of items you canโ€™t see from where youโ€™re sitting. You send her a weak smile and turn your attention back to the television. Footsteps begin approaching you and the couch sinks downwards next to you.
โ€œI saw the photos, how are you holding up?โ€ Her tone stays soft but cautious, testing the waters to see how your emotions are at the moment.
All you do is shrug in response while stirring your spoon around in your ice cream, placing your gaze anywhere else but the blondeโ€™s pitiful look. Leah just nods in understanding before sitting back on the sofa, allowing you to talk whenever youโ€™re comfortable.
โ€œIโ€™m not even that brokenhearted about it. Masonโ€™s been pulling away for a while so it was only time until he found someone newโ€ You say, breaking the comfortable silence after a few minutes. The girl beside you moves closer, placing her hand on your criss crossed legs.
โ€œThat doesnโ€™t give him any reason to cheat. If he knew it was going nowhere, he shouldโ€™ve ended it, not find some rando in a crowd who is not even half as pretty as you.โ€ Leah getting slightly irritated at the man for doing something as vile to you. Once again, you just shrug at her truthful statement and compliment.
โ€œIโ€™m kind of happy he did it.โ€ Leahโ€™s eyebrow quirks at your whisper while you let out a shaky sigh before finally looking at the blonde. โ€œDonโ€™t get me wrong, Iโ€™m absolutely pissed he did and is parading it all over the internet, but Iโ€™m not upset heโ€™s not mine anymore.โ€ Your tone slightly shifts from quiet to angry in a millisecond.
โ€œGood because you deserve someone who can cherish you, appreciate you, and show you how beautiful you truly are.โ€
โ€œI donโ€™t suppose youโ€™d be up for that challenge.โ€ You joke, laughing quietly to yourself but stopping when you donโ€™t hear anything from the girl next to you. As you look up, you see Leah with a stunned look on her face which soon turns into a smug smile.
โ€œThe real challenge would be if you could keep up with me or not.โ€ Now itโ€™s your turn to look shocked, noticing the cocky smirk on the womanโ€™s face. She shifts closer to you, placing her hand on your knee while rubbing her thumb against you. โ€œCโ€™mon, baby. Do you think you can handle me?โ€ She teases, moving her face closer to yours, making your eyes switch between her eyes and lips.
Right as Leah's mouth opens to say another taunting comment, you wrap your hand behind her neck and slam your lips against hers. The kiss quickly turns heated when Leahโ€™s tongue enters your mouth, warmth flooding your body in seconds. Her hands grip at your waist and tug you into her lap without breaking the kiss. The sound of your lips colliding together is enough for a pool of arousal to make its way between your legs.
โ€œAre you sure about this?โ€ She mumbles against your lips, holding herself back from jumping right back in.
โ€œIโ€™ve always liked Arsenal more than Manchester United.โ€ You snicker which in turn makes the blonde grin before diving back in.
The show in the background becomes muffled, your focus solely on the girl beneath you. Her hands are placed on the small of your back slightly pushing in to make your back arch and chest push into her. They soon begin to slowly slide down to your bottom as your tongues stroke against each otherโ€™s.
โ€œLetโ€™s go to the room, yeah?โ€ Leah insists, breaking the kiss. Her eyes trail your face, admiring your lips swollen and red, eyes hooded, and hair messy.
โ€œYes.โ€ You pant out, breaking the girl from thought and causing her to smile in anticipation. She hooks her hands under your thighs, easily picking you up as if you only weigh a pound, and hurrying into your now one-person bedroom.
Just as sheโ€™s about to drop you, she decides against it and topples down on top of your body. You both giggle at her antics before eagerly connecting your lips again. Leahโ€™s right forearm holds herself up by your head while her other hand roams under your shirt, rubbing and scratching as she trails further up.
โ€œNo bra?โ€
โ€œYou wouldnโ€™t be wearing one either if you were lounging around, sulking while eating ice cream.โ€ You huff, impatiently pulling the blonde back in an attempt to reconnect your lips. Leah swiftly sits up on her knees, looking at your disheveled form on the bed.
โ€œYou look so pretty for me, love.โ€ Your heart thumps against your chest at the new term of endearment. The blood rushing to your cheeks felt abnormal, never having been this flustered by someoneโ€™s gaze.
Leahโ€™s eyes continue to roam your figure while her hand traces absentmindedly. She notices your breath hitch when it sits on your collarbone, inches away from your neck. She rotates her hand so her fingers lie against it, wanting to see your reaction. You squeeze your eyes shut while your fist grips against the sheets.
โ€œOh, weโ€™re going to have so much fun, angel.โ€ Leah chuckles, leaning down and pressing her lips onto your neck, sucking at your sweet spot. Little whimpers leave your mouth before you tilt your head to the side, allowing her to have more access.
โ€œLee, please do something.โ€ You whine, feeling her hand under your shirt, palming at your breast.
โ€œSuch an impatient girl. Donโ€™t worry, Iโ€™ll teach you to behave.โ€ She rasps against your ear, tugging it down with her teeth. Your thighs squeeze together, trying to relieve some tension between your legs.
Leah finally lifts your shirt over your head and throws it mindlessly somewhere in the room. Usually, youโ€™d feel embarrassed as your whole body would cower away but with Leah, it felt different. It felt good. It felt right.
Her head leans down, kissing around your chest before latching onto your nipple. The tension in your body quickly disappears as you sigh in relief. While her warm tongue swirls around you, her free hand trails down your stomach and beneath your shorts and underwear.
Your breath hitches when the pads of her fingers swipe through your folds, collecting all of your arousal and spreading it. Her mouth leaves your chest with a loud plop before she attacks your lips again, swallowing all the little noises youโ€™re making as she rubs tight circles around your clit.
Right as you try to tug off your shorts, Leahโ€™s hand grabs your wrist, restricting any movement. โ€œWhat do you think youโ€™re doing, love?โ€ She rasps against your neck, continuing to scatter little hickeys around.
โ€œPlease.โ€
โ€œYou gotta be more specific on what youโ€™re pleading for, baby.โ€ The defender taunts with a wicked grin, shifting her head over yours so she can witness your pleading.
โ€œPlease take off my clothes and fuck me.โ€
Something in her shifts when she hears those words come out of your mouth. Suddenly she doesnโ€™t want to make you wait because if she makes you, sheโ€™ll also have to hold herself back.
Both of her hands grip on each side of your shorts and yank them down aggressively, wanting to waste no time even if there isnโ€™t a limit. You gasp at her change in demeanor but it overall excites you further.
โ€œGod you donโ€™t know how long Iโ€™ve wanted to do this.โ€ Leah rasps, getting worked up by just the sight of you underneath her, naked and squirming. She moves towards the lower end of the bed, lying down so her face is close to your core.
โ€œLeah, I need you.โ€ You pant, feeling her warm breath against your wetness. Right when you think sheโ€™s going to dive in, she tilts her head and begins to kiss your thighs, leaving light bite marks behind. You shake your thighs with a whine which makes the blonde chuckle against your skin.
But soon your whines are replaced by moans when she latches onto your pussy with no warning. She knows exactly what sheโ€™s doing and how to do it. Her mouth switches from sucking and flicking your clit with her tongue to dipping her tongue in and out of your dripping hole.
Subconsciously your hips slowly grind against her face for more friction which she figures out quickly. She wraps her arms around your thighs and places both hands down on your pubic bone, pushing you more into the mattress to restrict any movement.
With the amount of people you have been with, no one has eaten you out this good before. She knows exactly when to loosen or tighten her tongue, where you need her, and at what pace makes it more pleasurable.
Moans spew out of your mouth consistently as your hands grip so hard against the sheets your knuckles are white. The blissful sensation shoots through your whole body like a lightning bolt, pushing you closer and closer to the edge.
โ€œLee, baby. Iโ€™m close, so close.โ€
Leah unwraps one of her arms and reaches up to grasp your neck with her hand, choking you with very little pressure but enough to heighten your senses. While she continues to abuse your clit, she notices your eyes squeeze shut and your hips move up more slowly against her mouth.
When you finally let out a loud squeak and a string of curse words, she knows youโ€™re cumming. Her tongue doesnโ€™t stop lapping around until you twitch away from her touch. She lets go of your neck and kisses her way up your body until sheโ€™s face to face with you to which you pull her down, smashing your lips against hers, moaning when her tongue invades your mouth.
โ€œThat was so good.โ€ You breathe out with a giddy smile. She sends back a dashing grin before nuzzling her face in your neck and pecking around.
โ€œWeโ€™re not done yet. Iโ€™m just getting started with you.โ€ Leah smirks, making your eyes widen. Her right-hand drags around your skin, fingertips brushing so lightly itโ€™s almost ticklish. โ€œI want you to squirt all over my fingers, baby.โ€
โ€œI c-canโ€™t do that-โ€œ
โ€œYou will, and we will show your little cheating boy toy just how good I make you feel. I bet heโ€™s never made you squirt before, has he?โ€ She tilts her head, eyes never leaving yours.
โ€œNo one has.โ€ You whisper from both embarrassment and shock.
โ€œMmm, even better.โ€
She makes no other movement besides her hand continuing to wander around your body, confusing you with the sudden silence. Youโ€™re also in your head about how she means youโ€™re going to show him.
Your thoughts are quickly interrupted by two fingers plunging into you. A whine shoots out from your mouth without even trying. Leah is so enticed by how your pussy swallows her fingers so well, almost sucking them in. She isnโ€™t going fast, almost purposefully going so slow to torture you.
You whimper at your body feeling full but not any improvement towards an orgasm. The defenderโ€™s thumbs remain against your clit so with each thrust of her hand, she rubs it slowly.
โ€œI thought the point of squirting was also to cum.โ€ You huff impatiently which makes the girl chuckle at your needy state.
โ€œSee, baby. Iโ€™m going to edge you which will make you more sensitive and make you feel more built up. It might feel like torture for a bit but it will all be worth it.โ€
Before you can protest, her lips latch onto yours as she speeds up her fingers, causing you to moan into her mouth, allowing her to just swallow them. Her fingers are only halfway in but they move fast along with her thumb rubbing against your bundle of nerves.
She knows immediately when youโ€™re about to come so right when youโ€™re about to tilt off the edge, she pulls away leaving you whining in discomfort. Only after a minute or two, does she dip her fingers back into you and do exactly what she did before.
This repeats 3 or 4 more times, ending with you sobbing in overstimulation and want. You were so so so close each time but she pulled away before you could even realize it.
โ€œAwe, baby, you did so good. Now itโ€™s time to show that jerk what heโ€™s missing, donโ€™t ya think?โ€ Leah tilts her head in fake question before reaching over your head to grab her phone she must have set by you at some time.
Your head finally wraps around what she has been talking about. She wants to record her fucking you and send it to Mason. Itโ€™s a very risky move. Itโ€™s crazy. It turns you on.
Showing off that youโ€™re getting so deliciously fucked by the English captain. He parades on the internet him kissing some other girl, you parade to him having sex with a very familiar girl.
โ€œAre you okay with this? I donโ€™t want to pressure you into doing something you donโ€™t want to do.โ€ Her dominant persona fades a little into concern. Of course, it would be fun for her to show the idiot what he lost and what she has gained, but she needs you to want to do it too.
โ€œYes.โ€
โ€œYes? Are you sure?โ€
โ€œLeah, I need you with your fingers inside of me, pounding into me, recording, then making me cum so hard I see stars. I want to show him I upgraded.โ€ You purr against her ear, having sit up slightly to reach her. The defenderโ€™s eyes flutter shut with a quiet moan, showing you how much your words have an effect on her.
โ€œLie down.โ€
When you donโ€™t comply right away, she shoves you down on the bed, her dominant demeanor returning. Her free hand reaches down, slowly rubbing your clit while her other presses record on her phone. You coincidentally moan right when it starts.
From your nose and lower, your whole body is on display on the camera, showing off the fresh red hickeys scattered around, your very swollen clit under the blondeโ€™s thumb, and your extremely wet pussy.
Without wasting any time, Leah slips her middle and ring finger into you. Unlike before, she goes knuckles deep into you. Your mouth lets out a high-pitched noise along with a string of moans as she drags her fingers in and out, her thumb never leaving your clit.
Once a few seconds have passed she immediately fastens her thrusts, curling her fingers up to brush against your g-spot. Your moans get louder and never stop the faster she goes, and from the constant edging, itโ€™s not going to take much to push you over the edge.
This orgasm feels different though. It feels bigger and more intense coming up. Usually, it approaches and disappears fast, but the pleasure right now leading up to it feels amazing. More amazing than your normal ones.
โ€œBaby, I think Iโ€™m getting close.โ€ You gasp before moaning again.
โ€œSay my name.โ€
You look up at her in confusion only to see her eyes full of lust and her phone held up right next to her. Realizing that itโ€™s to show who she is you donโ€™t complain.
โ€œLeah, please make me cum.โ€
โ€œAgain.โ€
โ€œLeah.โ€
โ€œAgain.โ€
She knows youโ€™re extremely close. Each time her fingers thrust into you, your walls squeeze tighter and tighter around her digits. And by the way your nails are digging into her bicep and your eyes are squeezed shut, youโ€™re holding it as much as you can.
โ€œLeah! Youโ€™re making me feel so good, Lee. Please let me cum.โ€ Youโ€™re basically sobbing at this point so when she mumbles the next words you crumble.
โ€œCum for me, baby.โ€
As you let go, you feel liquid run down your thighs along with louder wet noises as Leahโ€™s hand continues to pound into you. Your mouth is wide open in silent pleasure while she carries on pushing you to the end of your orgasm.
Once a pornographic moan finally escapes your lips along with your body spasming, she pulls her fingers out and gently rubs along your clit. Your body jerks away with each swipe of her thumb so she finally stops altogether.
โ€œSuch a good girl. My good girl.โ€ Leah praises before ending the recording and lying down next to you.
She wraps her arms around your naked form and pulls you into her. Your head finds its place in her neck while she rubs her hand up and down your arm, soothing you after the very intense moment.
โ€œI didnโ€™t think I could do that and you proved me wrong. You are one of many talents, Miss Leah Williamson.โ€ You jab your finger into her chest teasingly. The defender tilts her head back with a laugh before leaning down and kissing your forehead.
Both of you lay there in comfortable silence, embracing each otherโ€™s warmth.
โ€œShould we send it?โ€
โ€œI will never say no to showing that dweeb what I can do to you and he canโ€™t.โ€

Without you
Tumblr media
Alessia Russo x Leah Williamson x child reader
-A part of the mรผsli universe
A/N: Thank you to anon for this request. I think we are past the writes block???
Warning: mentions of fostering, social services, panic
Summary: After an accident in the kindergarten, Leah decides that you need to be a part of their family. Alessia however, doesnโ€™t get on board with the thought.
-
A woman with a set of white clothes comes in. She tries to smile softly at you, but it scares you more than it comforts you. Her clothes dosent help one bit. It reminds you of the people you met when your foster father broke your arm. He insisted that it was a freak accident, but you know the truth.
Your eyes are glued to her every move as she walks across the room and comes over with a white spinning chair with wheels. The chair makes a loud screeching noise, similar to the sound trains make which really dosent help the situation at all.
โ€œAlright, loves Iโ€™m Miss Shonda, and Iโ€™ll be here until we find your parents. How are you feeling y/n? Better?โ€ She asks sitting down next to you. Your head dosent hurt anymore, and you think thatโ€™s good. Then you realise that you are not feeling good. You feel absolutely terrified, and shake your head violently. Shonda gives you a sad smile again. You look at her shoes, hot pink crocs. You like pink. Like your mom did. But, then you realise that she told you that she was gonna find your parents. โ€œI-l, I donโ€™t really have parents, or anyone anymoreโ€ you whisper out, hands trembling of anxiety. Shonda gives you a small smile again. โ€œWeโ€™ll figure it out together, okay?โ€ She insists. But, itโ€™s true you think. You donโ€™t really have anyone anymore.
โ€œYour teacher had to go back to kindergartenโ€ she comforts you, reaching her hand out to you on the bed. Instinctively, you retract your hand. She gives you a sad smile. Kind of like the smile your social workers give you when she picks you up from a foster home. Then, you realise that you have forgotten what the nurse said. Right, your Miss Evelyn is gone. You frown, the only person you knew was now gone. The thought of being left alone makes your eyes sting. You rub your eyes violently to the point of having fuzzy vision in response.
โ€œIโ€™ve tried calling your social worker, but sheโ€™s sick today too, how silly is that?โ€ Shonda says as she reaches towards her pocket. The only info she could find in your file was the number of your old family, who told them to call the social services and never to bother them again. It made Shondaโ€™s heart break, just like your story has broken multiple other hearts. This is her attempt on making the situation a tiny bit better. When her hand pulled up a sheet of paper, your eyes caught a glimpse of what seems like a sheet of glitter.
The natural curiosity of your four year olds mind takes over, and your gaze is now glued to her. โ€œWhats that?โ€ You whisper, barely audible, but just enough for Shonda to hear.
โ€œThis,โ€ Shonda says as she turns the sheet towards you, โ€œThis is a very special prize for brave girls like you. You can pick whatever sticker you wantโ€
Your eyes move across the sheet. There is flowers, dolls, princesses and even a cat. When you move closer, you see that the cat resembles a ragdoll. The same kind of cat your mom and dad used to have, and the same cat that you fostermoms have, musli. Your eyes dosent move away from the cat. He is white, with blue glittery eyes and glittery paws.
You eagerly point to the cat with one hand as you bit the tip of your left pointer. Shonda looks to the sticker you are pointing to, and she breaks out in a smile.
โ€œA cat girl, huh? Do you have a cat at home?โ€ She asks removing the sticker from the paper before handing it towards you.
โ€œMusliโ€ you respond taking the sticker from her staring at the cat in awe. The sticker sits safely in your hand. You donโ€™t want to use the sticky side already because you want to keep it as a toy for as long as possible.
โ€œWhat color is Musli?โ€ she asks, observing at your reaction to the sticker. Sheโ€™s clearly caught onto something, but you canโ€™t figure out what. After all, you are only four.
โ€œWhite, and he has blue eyes like Leahโ€ you mumble, sentering the sticker in the palm of your hand while studying it closely. You can see how his tail is grey in the ends, just like Musli. You touch his tail with your other hand.
โ€œOh, is that so? Who is Leah?โ€ Shonda questions again. The urgency of her question makes you feel uneasy, you suddenly feel like the attention sheโ€™s giving you is simply too much. Perhaps sheโ€™s testing you, like sheโ€™s trying to find all your mistakes. Your eyes look up at her again, and suddenly she dosent look as kind anymore. She looks scarier, like sheโ€™s upset with you. You feel the pit of fear growing in your tummy. You squeeze your eyes shut, in a desperate attempt to wake up from this nightmare youโ€™re stuck in.
Then it dawns upon you; your fostermoms are not there. You havenโ€™t seen them, yet your teacher promised you that they were coming. Your eyes practically fly open, a panicked look forming in them.
โ€œWhere is Leah? And Alessia?โ€ You whisper, eyes tearing up of the thought that they have abandoned you. Being abandoned isnโ€™t new to you, it has happened before. Youโ€™ve been abandoned at kindergarten, in the car, at home and in malls. Itโ€™s not new. But, you never thought your foster moms would abandon you. Not without good reason. You donโ€™t think you have done anything wrong, then again: you are being a burden by hitting your head at kindergarten. They need to take time off their day to pick you up. It scares you more that they might think you are too much, then that they have abandoned you already. Leah promised to never leave you, but here you were without your two carers with nobody to comfort you.
โ€œWho is Leah and Alessia, sweetheart? Is it your sisters or maybe your aunts?โ€ Shonda asks while patting your back in an attempt to comfort you.
โ€œM-my.. my fostermomsโ€ you whisper out tears silently rolling down your face. โ€œOr, just fosters, I donโ€™t really knowโ€, you whisper the last part scared that if you speak too loud; it might become true.
The sticker is now curled together in your fist. When you look at it, you feel an overwhelming sensation of disappointing Shonda by ruining your new sticker. Quickly, your hands shove the sticker into your pocket of your sweater. But in your pocket, you feel something familiar. Your hand brushes towards guardian angel mouse. You donโ€™t hesitate to reach your hand around it while holding it as tight as you can. Itโ€™s not the same like your old mouse, but itโ€™s as good as it gets. You hold on to it for dear life.
โ€œIโ€™ll go call them again, okay? Iโ€™ll be right outside your roomโ€ Shonda says getting up while waddling towards the door before she disappears into the hallway. You take the mouse out of your pocket before grabbing its tiny hand, which you quietly stroke across your chin with.
You donโ€™t know it yet, but your foster moms are blissfully unaware of what is going on. The two women havenโ€™t been registered as your guardians which leads to the hospital not being able to find them. They know their names; Leah and Alessia. They google their names with your last name without any success. Then they google Leah and Alessia before an article about them pops up, making the nurses confused. Itโ€™s an article about how they have adapted to having a fosterchild. Shonda decides itโ€™s worth a shot. They go onto the Arsenal site, and find the two women in the squadโ€™s homepage.
The nurses come into your room with a laptop in their hands, seeming to be in a hurry. They turn the screen towards you to see your reaction to the picture. Your eyes soften at the sight of Alessia, and you let out a tiny sob before whispering her name.
It dosent take long for the nurses to understand that she is your carer. But, getting a hold of a famous football player isnโ€™t exactly the easiest. Her phone number isnโ€™t available to the general public, and they donโ€™t find her in their systems. You canโ€™t remember it, and somehow they lost the name of the kindergarten you came in from. Itโ€™s seems like itโ€™s all dead ends. Thatโ€™s until one of the younger nurses tries to call the number of the front desk at Arsenal, and she immediately gets through. The woman at the front is reluctant to involve the players, as crazy fans call in all the time making up crazy stories. Instead, she calls the assistant coaches who confirm that Alessia and Leah are caring for a girl. Not just any girl, their little girl.
Leah gets pulled aside as she is the one closest to the assistant. She thinks itโ€™s just a question, or some feedback, so she smiles attentively. The assistant has been given with the mission of breaking the news and getting them to go to the hospital.
โ€œLeah, you and Alessia; you care for a little girl, right?โ€ The assistant asks with a forced smile on her face. Her body seems strained which makes Leah feel odd.
โ€œYea, yea, y/n, why?โ€ Leah replies, feeling proud. She loves to talk about you, about the steps you are taking in the right direction and how you are setting in as a temporary family. Thatโ€™s until she sees the uneasy look on the assistantโ€™s face. Her blood freezes immediately, while her heart skyrockets and her face fills with blood. Her instincts take over, she knows that something isnโ€™t right. All she can hope, is that it isnโ€™t too bad.
โ€œOh my god, is something wrong with her? What has happened to her? Where is she? Is she injured? Is she even alive? Oh my, wait, Alessia!โ€ Leah panics, clearly missing out on the stay calm during emergencies memo.
Alessia immediately turns around, a shiver going through her body when she hears the urgency in Leahโ€™s panicked voice. Her feet take her across the field at the speed of light.
โ€œWhat is it?โ€ Alessia asks, eyes wide in confusion. Her breath is fast, not because sheโ€™s tired but because sheโ€™s terrified.
โ€œItโ€™s y/n, sheโ€™s at the hospital in Great Osmond street. Sheโ€™s been there for a while, but they couldnโ€™t disclose what happened or when; just that you needed to come downโ€ the assistant barely finishes the sentence before the pair of them are reacting to the situation. Leah and Alessiaโ€™s eyes meet. Leah feels the pit in her stomach grow when she thinks of you sitting alone in the big hospital bed while all the other kids have their parents, toys and balloons around them. She swear she can feel her eyes tearing up.
โ€œOh my-shit, we need to goโ€ Leah says pulling her hair in distress.
Leah and Alessia both sprint towards their car, not bothering telling anyone about whatโ€™s happened. Not even bothering to change into fresh clothes or grab their bags with them. The only thing on Leahโ€™s mind is to get to you as fast as possible so she can protect you.
-
โ€œWh-Sorry, what do you mean we canโ€™t see her?โ€ Leah stutters out staring at the young nurse as if she is equipped with two fully functioning heads.
โ€œIโ€™m sorry, you are not on her emergency contacts. By protoc-โ€œ the young nurse tries her best to stand her ground like her professorโ€™s have taught her, but Leah clearly isnโ€™t having it.
โ€œHave you gone absolutely mental? Sheโ€™s our daughter, our terrified four year old daughter alone without her moms! And you are refusing us entry?โ€ Leah feels her blood boiling with anger. She knows it isnโ€™t the nurses fault, but why canโ€™t they make an exemption? She knows she mightโ€™ve crosses a line, calling them your moms. But she canโ€™t help herself, she feels like you are settling in as their daughter. Alessia tries to place her hand on her shoulder, hoping it will calm her. That is however unsuccessful.
โ€œHer carers are listed with first names Miah and Henr-โ€œ the nurse argues back, a bit firmer in her voice this time. The firm reaction gets picked up as having an attitude by Leah, and she can feel her palms sweating.
โ€œItโ€™s her parents. Her parents that died last year. We take care of her. She came to us through the foster system. Sheโ€™s ours!You have to let us see herโ€ Leah tries to calm down, trying her best to be reasonable in front of the waiting room. She can feel peopleโ€™s eyes burning through her back.
โ€œIโ€™m sorry, I wish I could-โ€ the nurse says, crossing her arms. That makes Leah fire up even further. Alessia tries to tug on the back of her sweater, scared she might make a run for it.
โ€Wish? God, just let us in will you! Youโ€™ll see it in her reaction, I can prove it. Sh-she, she has a mouse in her jacket, with wings. I promiseโ€ Leah pleads, hoping that the gardian angel mouse will help. That it somehow will not only solve all your problems and worries, but that it might let her in. After all, how many kids walk around with a mouse with wings on it in their jacket?
โ€œIโ€™m sorry mโ€™am, I know this is frustrating. Have you adopted her?โ€ The nurse says, moving to the back of her desk. It eases Leah, it feels like sheโ€™s going to let her in.
โ€œAdopted? No, no, sheโ€™s in the foster system, but sheโ€™s oursโ€ Alessia insists, trying to stear the conversation into her favor.
โ€œThen, Iโ€™m sorry. I canโ€™t let you in unless authorised by her paren-โ€œ The nurse says, putting the file sheโ€™s carrying down. Sheโ€™s made up her mind, and it starts a fire in Leah.
โ€œOh really? Sorry, just let me get a shovel so I can dig up the poor girls mother and fatherโ€ Leah spits out, fists clenched while her spit is practically flying. She feels better when she can hear the low giggles from the waiting room. It makes her feel like sheโ€™s right.
โ€œLeah, stop. You are gonna get us kicked out. Come sitโ€ Alessia says, pulling on her hand in a desperate attempt to stop the situation from escalating into a security issue.
Alessia gives Leah a stern look before offering an apologetic smile to the nurse at the station. She takes Leahโ€™s hand fully into hers and pulls her in direction of the waiting area. Leah forcefully moves with Alessia to a nearby chair, her whole body feeling tense.
โ€œIโ€™ll call the social services, Lee. Theyโ€™ll help us, theyโ€™ll know what to doโ€ Alessia assures standing up with her phone in her hand typing in the number of your social worker. Leah taps her fingers nervously on the wood of the chair watching the nurses around her. One of them, busy with answering a call. The other one taking more time looking at her phone than doing actual work. Alessia points to the phone and mouths a sentence that Leah doesnโ€™t pick up on before moving towards the vending machines in search of some privacy.
Then, it hits her. Alessia is not paying any attention. The nurse that they talked to earlier, has now gone to help another nurse. The last nurse thatโ€™s left at the station doesnโ€™t look like she is paying attention to anything but herself. Leahโ€™s eyes flutter around her, scanning the area once more.
She gets up from her chair, slowly walking around the station into the hallway. The coast is clear. She swears she can hear your voice, but she isnโ€™t able to pinpoint exactly where it comes from. She decides that itโ€™s worth taking the risk of being kicked out when the reward is high.
Her feet takes her past room after room, listening as best as she can without eavesdropping. Then she hears your voice again, and she instantly freezes.
โ€œAre they not coming?โ€ You say with a break in your voice. Leah recognises it, itโ€™s like when you first came into their home and you asked if you could have milk. Leah said you didnโ€™t have to ask, and it caused you to cry because you thought you couldnโ€™t have any.
โ€œIโ€™m sure that theyโ€™ll be here soonโ€ Shonda says, brushing your hair behind your ear. You donโ€™t like it, you flinch.
โ€œBut, did they forgot about me? Am I bad?โ€ You whisper out, tears quietly rolling down your cheeks. Shonda tries to comfort you, but you look down again.
โ€œNo darling, Iโ€™m sure that they are just lost trying to find their way in here. It can be confusing to walk around the halls of this big building, okay?โ€ She resonates.
โ€œOkayโ€ you whisper, wanting the conversation to end.
โ€œHow about some cherry juice? It will make you feel betterโ€ Shonda insists; you donโ€™t know what cherry juice is, but you can see the red color and to do like red cool aid. You nod, hoping that itโ€™s something similar to the cool aid that Leahโ€™s mom gave you earlier.
Leah canโ€™t help herself as she moves towards the opening of the room. She knows that cherry makes your tongue burn, that you donโ€™t like the feeling of the cherry on your tounge and that you felt ichy.
She vividly remembers you talking about how spicy the juice was, making Leah laugh at the found memory of your first allergic reaction. Then, panic strikes her. The nurse is about to give you cherry juice, sheโ€™s about to sent you into an anaphylactic shock. Leah feels her heartbeat rapidly increasing, and she can feel her breathing becoming heavy. Sheโ€™s conflicted. She isnโ€™t supposed to be here, but she cannot let you sit there and drink your poison when she knows that she can stop it.
ยซStop!ยป Leah suddenly yell making the whole hospital ward freeze. Her hands become sweaty when she realises what she has done, but when your eyes look up to see her; she dosent care about anything else. She instantly moves towards you, in the big hospital bed with the little hospital gown making you look so small her big arms stretched out towards you. Sheโ€™s not thinking about your needs right now. Itโ€™s kind of selfish. Alessia has told her to let you come to her, but she canโ€™t help it. She needs to hold you, to feel your frame into hers so that she knows that she can protect you.
You look up at her blinking, not sure if sheโ€™s upset with you or disappointed in you. Your lip starts to wobble as you whisper out at her. โ€œIm sorry, i didnt mean to-" you are cut off by your own sobs, rubbing your eyes again.
The words breaks Leahโ€™s heart, as you have done multiple times in the last few months. She lets out an audible sob. She thinks itโ€™s strange, how some little girl has broken her heart more times than any girl has. Her big arms fold around you, leaving your body to stiffen up in her arms. Itโ€™s weird, but itโ€™s not uncomfortable. But she dosenโ€™t let go, and eventually you relax into her arms with your head leaning onto her shoulder. Her embrace is warm, like your momโ€™s hugs was. She gave the best mommy hugs, and Leahโ€™s hugs are strangely similar. She holds you, and she dosent let you go. She eases herself down into a sitting position at the bed you are sitting in, and pulls you gently over into her lap. All without letting you go. She rocks you gently, holding her hand on the back of your head. The last thing she wants to, is to let go. A part of her considers to retire from football, all to keep you safe. But, she knows itโ€™s silly and that you need to have normalcy.
The moment is broken by Alessiaโ€™s soft hums while walking into the room. Leahโ€™s head shot up, immediately feeling her cheeks flood with blood and the emotion of embarrassment showering upon her.
โ€œLessi, Iโ€™m sorry but I ha-โ€œ Leah whispers, not wanting to wake you up again.
โ€œItโ€™s okay, Lee. We are clearedโ€ Alessia assures, sitting down next to her while softly stoking your hair. Your soft occasional snores linger in the room. Leah wishes the moment to last forever. To hold you in her arms without letting go, without you fighting it or feeling scared. She thinks that you feel safe, and you probably are considering you are sound asleep in her arms.
Shonda stand awkwardly in the corner, not really sure what to say. Sheโ€™s already moving silently towards the door hoping to give the moment the privacy it deserves. When sheโ€™s almost made it to the door, she kicks a table and some equipment falls down to the floor. It startles you, and you practically jump in Leahโ€™s embrace.
Your eyes meet Alessiaโ€™s before moving towards Leahโ€™s gaze. โ€œItโ€™s not normalโ€ you think to yourself, because people doesnโ€™t really care about you. When you see the look on Leahโ€™s face, your body relaxes even though you donโ€™t want to relax. Itโ€™s like your body feels safe, and is trying its best to make you understand that you are safe with Leah and Alessia. But, you canโ€™t trust them fully. Not yet, but maybe you give them the benefit of the doubt today. Just for today.
โ€œHow is she?โ€ Alessia asks Shonda who is scrambling to pick up all the items she dropped earlier. โ€œOh, hi! Iโ€™m Shonda, and you are her momโ€™s?โ€ Shonda says standing up and reaching her hand towards them.
Leah and Alessia share a sad look before Leah drops her gaze towards you who are safely in her arms. โ€œNo, weโ€™re fostering herโ€ Leah responds, feeling like the words are burning in her mouth.
โ€œOh, sorry..Sheโ€™s good, she had a mild fall and hit her head towards a slide in kindergarten but it isnโ€™t anything serious or major. Sheโ€™s cleared to go home, but youโ€™ll have free admission if she needs to come back inโ€ Shonda resonates, not really comforting Leah. Alessia places her hand on Leahโ€™s back, and rubs in gently hoping to ease her strained body.
โ€œThank you, Shondaโ€ Alessia says with a polite smile, almost laughing when she takes notice of Leahโ€™s sarcastic halfassed smile. Leah just sit with you in her lap while Alessia and Shonda discusses the things to look out for and how much painkillers you are allowed.
Leah strokes your hair gently, mesmerised by the protective instinct sheโ€™s feeling. You relax into her frame, closing your eyes more and more by each stroke. It feels nice, like someone actually cares. Itโ€™s odd too because you canโ€™t really remember the last time someone held you like this and stroked your hair.
โ€œAlright, Lee. Letโ€™s get our girl homeโ€โ€™she whispers careful not to wake her up. Leah dosent let her eyes off of you for a second. She wonders if this is how it feels to hold what one day will be her and Alessiaโ€™s newborn. โ€œI can carry her, your injury is still not healed completelyโ€ Alessia insists, moving to scoop you up from Leah.
Leah resists, she just holds you closer. โ€œItโ€™s fine, I donโ€™t want to wake her up. Iโ€™ll carry her.โ€ She says, admiring your relaxed face. Alessia frowns, she doesnโ€™t want Leah to become further injured. But, then she remembers that you are not the size of a four year old. You are still small for your age, a little too skinny and on the lower percentiles.
โ€œFine, but tell me if anything hurts and Iโ€™ll take her in a heartbeat.โ€
-
The duration of the ride home, you sleep soundly in your car seat. You sleep soundly against the soft fabric; your teddy, meow in your lap. Leah makes a note to always let you bring Meow with you when you go out, and to leave him in the car. Itโ€™s just in case of emergencies, she decides. Leah has never driven this careful before, steering away from any holes and bumbs not wanting to wake you up just yet.
After the ride home takes 30 minutes longer than normal, you are parked outside your home. Leah practically runs to grab you before Alessia can, earning a dirty look from her wife. She just shakes her head in response and carries you into the house, up the stairs and into their bedroom with Alessia following behind.
Leah gently pulls off your sweater, leaving you in your t-shirt and your pink leggings before tucking you into their big bed. She pulls back to the end of the bed, and stands next to Alessia. Alessia admires you sleeping, wondering how she can ever let you go whenever your social worker finds a family for you.
Itโ€™s almost like Leah can hear her thoughts because she startles and looks at Alessia with panic in her eyes.
โ€œWe have to find a way to make her ours. She needs usโ€ she whispers to Alessia. The thought of losing you making her face change from panic to a frown.
โ€œSheโ€™s in the system, Lee. There are so many other kids needing our help. Theyโ€™ll find someone for herโ€ Alessia shrugs rubbing Leahโ€™s back.
โ€œSheโ€™s not like other kids. If you wonโ€™t make her a part of our family, then Iโ€™ll make her a part of mine. With or without you.โ€ Leah spits before turning off the light, and leaving the room in frustration .
Alessia follows her through the hallway, into the living room. โ€œLeeโ€ she pleads, her face heavy with emotion. Leah turns to wards her in a whim.
โ€œIโ€™m serious, Alessia. I canโ€™t her go into the system again. Either you get onboard, or Iโ€™ll do this without youโ€
โ€œYou canโ€™t be seriousโ€ Alessia huffs, confused with Leah. Leah wasnโ€™t the person to get attached, she even needed convincing to agree to foster.
Leah folds her arms over her chest, but she dosent reply.
โ€œLeeโ€ she whispers out, tears pressing in her eyes.
โ€œIโ€™m serious, Alessia. With or without you.โ€

Finders Keepers
summary: youโ€™re good at catching things, leahโ€™s eye is one of them
warnings: a little suggestive
a/n: thank you for the request !
word count: 2k
-
Youโ€™re the new goalkeeper coach for the Lionesses, which is great, except for one glaring problem: Leah Williamson. Sheโ€™s distracting, in the way that a house fire distracts you from finishing your cup of tea. Youโ€™ve never coached a team that required so much attention to detail, and youโ€™re starting to understand why. You need every neuron firing just to remember how to breathe when sheโ€™s in the vicinity, let alone when sheโ€™s talking to you.
And she talks to you a lot. Itโ€™s not always about goalkeeping either, which is alarming, because youโ€™re really only equipped to discuss which angle to cover or how to improve reaction time. Instead, she wants to talk about where youโ€™re from, what you think of London, whether or not you like Thai food. She asks you about your star sign once, which is bizarre because youโ€™re not sure if she believes in that sort of thing or is just trying to make you sweat. You lie and say youโ€™re a Pisces, mostly because it seems like the least offensive answer, and she nods like that explains something.
You try to keep your interactions professional, but she makes it difficult. For instance, Leah has a habit of โ€œaccidentallyโ€ bumping into you. She claims itโ€™s because sheโ€™s got bad spatial awareness, but youโ€™re fairly certain she just likes the way you flinch when she does it. Youโ€™ve read somewhere that โ€œaccidentalโ€ touch is a sign of attraction, but youโ€™re not sure if that applies when the person doing the touching has the coordination of an european champion.
One day after training, she lingers on the pitch while youโ€™re gathering up cones, which you suspect is an attempt to chat you up. She watches you with a smirk, and you can feel her eyes burning into the back of your head like an exceptionally focused laser pointer.
โ€œYou missed one,โ€ she says, pointing out a cone about three feet to your right. You didnโ€™t miss it, but you pick it up anyway because you canโ€™t think of anything better to do.
โ€œThanks,โ€ you mumble, trying not to meet her eyes, because when you do, itโ€™s like looking directly at the sun. Leah Williamson is a human eclipse, and youโ€™re about to go blind from prolonged exposure.
โ€œNo problem,โ€ she replies, not moving.
Sheโ€™s still standing there when you finish. Youโ€™re holding a bag of cones and looking for an escape route, but sheโ€™s planted herself directly in your path like sheโ€™s grown roots.
โ€œYouโ€™re not running off, are you?โ€ she asks, with the kind of grin that makes you wish youโ€™d pursued a career in something less perilous, like bomb disposal.
โ€œI was thinking about it,โ€ you admit, and she laughs, which is a mistake because her laugh does things to youโ€”dangerous, uncoachable things.
โ€œYouโ€™re cute,โ€ she says, and now youโ€™re actively searching for the nearest exit, because if she keeps this up, youโ€™re going to do something really stupid, like ask her out for coffee or give her your social security number.
โ€œUh, thanks,โ€ you stammer, clutching the bag of cones like itโ€™s a life preserver.
She tilts her head, clearly amused by your discomfort. โ€œNo need to be nervous,โ€ she says, like itโ€™s the easiest thing in the world to relax when Leah Williamson is standing less than a foot away from you.
Youโ€™re not nervous, you want to say, but that would be a lie, and youโ€™re not about to start lying to yourself, not when youโ€™ve done such a good job of repressing your feelings up until this point.
โ€œWell,โ€ you say, taking a step back, โ€œI should probablyโ€”โ€
โ€œWant to get a drink?โ€ she interrupts, like sheโ€™s asking you if you want to grab a sandwich, and you nearly drop the cones because your brain canโ€™t process the words coming out of her mouth.
โ€œWhat?โ€ you blurt out, because thatโ€™s all your synapses can muster.
โ€œA drink,โ€ she repeats, like itโ€™s the most normal thing in the world for a player to ask out their coach. โ€œYou know, alcohol? Liquid courage?โ€
Youโ€™re pretty sure youโ€™ve just suffered a minor stroke, because the world tilts sideways and your pulse goes through the roof. โ€œIโ€™m not sure thatโ€™s a good idea,โ€ you manage to say, which is the understatement of the year, considering the fact that youโ€™ve spent the last three months trying to convince yourself that Leah is just another player on the team, and not the walking, talking embodiment of temptation.
โ€œWhy not?โ€ she asks, and you can tell by her tone that sheโ€™s genuinely curious, like the idea of you turning her down is as foreign to her as the concept of gravity.
โ€œBecause,โ€ you start, then pause, because you donโ€™t have a good reason, and she knows it.
โ€œBecause?โ€ she prompts, raising an eyebrow.
โ€œBecause itโ€™s unprofessional,โ€ you say finally, as if professionalism is something youโ€™ve ever been good at.
โ€œWeโ€™re not at work now,โ€ she points out, and you hate that sheโ€™s right. You hate that sheโ€™s standing so close to you that you can see the tiny freckle just above her left eyebrow. You hate that you want to reach out and touch it, trace the shape of her face with your fingers.
โ€œLeahโ€”โ€ you start, but she cuts you off by taking a step forward, closing the gap between you. Sheโ€™s close enough now that you can smell the faint hint of her shampoo, something fresh and citrusy that makes you want to bury your face in her hair and never come up for air.
โ€œIโ€™ll see you later, then,โ€ she says, and itโ€™s not a question.
-
You donโ€™t know why you go. Maybe itโ€™s because youโ€™ve never been particularly good at saying no, or maybe itโ€™s because the idea of Leah waiting for you is too tempting to resist. Either way, you find yourself standing outside the pub, staring at the sign like itโ€™s going to give you the answers to the universe.
Inside, Leahโ€™s already at the bar, leaning against the counter with the kind of casual confidence that makes you wonder if sheโ€™s ever had an awkward moment in her life. When she spots you, she grins, and itโ€™s like the sun coming out from behind the clouds.
โ€œYou made it,โ€ she says, as if there was any doubt.
โ€œYeah,โ€ you reply, because what else can you say? Iโ€™m here because Iโ€™m an idiot? Iโ€™m here because I canโ€™t stop thinking about you? Iโ€™m here because Iโ€™m trying really hard not to fall in love with you and failing miserably?
โ€œDrink?โ€ she asks, holding up her pint glass.
โ€œSure,โ€ you say, because if youโ€™re going to make bad decisions, you might as well make them with alcohol in your system.
She orders you a drink, something that tastes like it should be served in a coconut with an umbrella, but you donโ€™t complain because itโ€™s delicious and also because Leahโ€™s eyes are twinkling in that way that makes your stomach do somersaults.
โ€œSo,โ€ she says after a moment, โ€œwhy donโ€™t you want to go out with me?โ€
The question hits you like a freight train. โ€œI never said that,โ€ you protest, but your voice is weak, like youโ€™re already losing this battle.
โ€œYou didnโ€™t have to,โ€ she replies, taking a sip of her drink and watching you over the rim of the glass. โ€œBut youโ€™re not very good at hiding itโ€
โ€œIโ€™m not?โ€ you ask, horrified at the idea that your feelings might be more obvious than youโ€™d like to admit.
โ€œNope,โ€ she says, popping the โ€œpโ€ in a way that should be illegal. โ€œItโ€™s written all over your faceโ€
โ€œOh.โ€ You stare into your drink, wondering if itโ€™s possible to drown in a pint glass.
โ€œBut itโ€™s okay,โ€ she continues, and now sheโ€™s leaning in closer, her knee brushing against yours under the table. โ€œBecause Iโ€™m not really good at hiding it eitherโ€
And thatโ€™s when you know youโ€™re completely, irrevocably screwed.
-
Itโ€™s not a relationship, you tell yourself, because relationships require labels, and what you and Leah have is more like an ongoing series of bad decisions strung together by moments of sheer idiocy.
You try to keep things professional, but itโ€™s difficult when she keeps showing up at your door with that grin and that laugh and those hands that seem to know exactly where to touch you to make your brain short-circuit.
One night, after youโ€™ve spent far too long convincing yourself that youโ€™re strong enough to resist her, she shows up at your flat with food and a bottle of wine. You know itโ€™s a trap, but you let her in anyway, because youโ€™re a sucker for Thai fried rice and bad decisions.
You spend the evening on the settee, eating and drinking and pretending like youโ€™re not going to end up in bed together by the end of the night. You watch some terrible low budget comedy that Leah picked out, and youโ€™re about halfway through when she starts inching closer to you, like sheโ€™s trying to be subtle but failing spectacularly.
โ€œYouโ€™re sitting awfully close,โ€ you point out, because itโ€™s either that or spontaneously combust from the proximity.
โ€œAm I?โ€ she asks innocently, but thereโ€™s a twinkle in her eye that tells you she knows exactly what sheโ€™s doing.
โ€œYes,โ€ you reply, but you donโ€™t move away, because if youโ€™re going to go down in flames, you might as well enjoy the heat.
She grins, and then her hand is on your thigh, fingers tracing patterns that make your heart race. โ€œI think you like it,โ€ she says, and itโ€™s not a question.
โ€œI think youโ€™re trouble,โ€ you counter, but you donโ€™t stop her when she leans in and kisses you, soft and slow, like sheโ€™s got all the time in the world.
You kiss her back, because youโ€™re weak and because she tastes like wine and because youโ€™re tired of pretending like this isnโ€™t exactly what you want.
The rest of the movie is forgotten as you tumble into bed together, a mess of tangled limbs and breathless laughter. Itโ€™s fast and frantic, like youโ€™re both trying to make up for lost time, and when itโ€™s over, youโ€™re left lying there, staring at the ceiling and wondering how you got here.
โ€œDonโ€™t think too hard,โ€ Leah murmurs, her head resting on your chest, and you can feel her breath against your skin, warm and steady. โ€œYouโ€™ll hurt yourselfโ€
โ€œToo late,โ€ you mutter, but you donโ€™t push her away, because despite everything, despite all the reasons this is a terrible idea, you like the way she feels next to you.
โ€œWeโ€™re a disaster,โ€ you say after a while, because the silence is starting to make you anxious, and youโ€™ve never been good at sitting with your own thoughts.
โ€œI know,โ€ she replies, and you can hear the smile in her voice. โ€œBut weโ€™re a fun disasterโ€
You canโ€™t argue with that, so you donโ€™t. Instead, you close your eyes and let yourself drift off, hoping that when you wake up, you wonโ€™t regret this as much as you probably should.
-
You start seeing each other regularly after that, though you both refuse to call it dating. Dating implies a level of commitment that youโ€™re not ready to acknowledge, and anyway, this is more likeโ€ฆmutual self-destruction with benefits.
You try to keep it a secret from the team, but youโ€™re fairly certain theyโ€™re onto you. Especially after that time Leah practically tackled you during training because she โ€œtrippedโ€ over her own feet, which would be believable if she wasnโ€™t literally the most coordinated person youโ€™ve ever met.
โ€œYouโ€™re an idiot,โ€ you tell her later, as youโ€™re trying to pry her off of you in the changing room, but she just laughs and kisses you on the cheek, because apparently sheโ€™s incapable of taking anything seriously.
โ€œIโ€™m your idiot,โ€ she replies, and you hate how much you love the sound of that.
Youโ€™re not sure how long this can go on before everything blows up in your face, but for now, youโ€™re content to keep making the same mistakes over and over again. After all, if youโ€™re going to screw up, you might as well do it with someone who makes it fun.
And Leah Williamson, for all her flaws, is nothing if not fun.
Even if she is going to be the death of you.
