Pairing: Ted Lasso x fem!reader

Summary: under the employment of one trent crimm at afc richmond, you are the second American hire and only female journalist at the club starting to make headlines following the head coach being the first.

Warnings: cursing

WC: 980

Author's note: This is really my first multi part fic so be gentle!

"Why does AFC Richmond keep hiring Americans when it is on the brink of relegation?"

Ted stares at the article in dismay and then looks at your desk from the window. He gets up and shuts down his laptop, making his way to your office. You hear his gentle knocking on the glass. your eyes brimmed with tears and your head in your hands as you reread the words "hiring Americans" and "relegation". 

"Uhm, come in, Ted!" you say, blinking away your tears.

"I saw the email, I’m awful sorry about that," he said.

"No it’s fine; you know how the journalists are here, especially at The Sun."

"Yeah. So hot-headed," he joked

You giggled; it wasn’t even that funny, and you still laughed so hard. It’s probably the first time Ted got you to genuinely laugh since you started becoming an assistant to Trent (now independent), who wanted to get an American’s eyes and edits on his writing for his book about Ted Lasso. Ever since you got to Richmond, you have been reserved and quiet in the office you and Trent shared, which he rarely used. only there to follow him when he had questions about certain American mannerisms that he did not want to ask Ted or Beard about, not wanting to spoil details about said book.

"I’m glad to see you laughing again." It’s nice to have you around; I hope you know that." He winked at you and walked back to his desk.

He caught a glimpse of you smiling and being giddy, with your face turning a shade of pink. Ted didn’t realize he had stopped doing his work and started staring at you until Roy stood in the doorway and made it obvious.

"Put your fucking tongue back in your mouth, or I’ll tell her to get a curtain for that office, you freak."

You said a muffled, "Roy?"

"What?" He’s the only person he tolerates in the locker room office. People often thought the two of you looked related until you spoke. Your dark hair and eyes, and the fact that you both often wore black. You wore it just to be professional, but he did because he couldn’t stand being in color.

"Do you think I’m bringing down the club for being American?"

Dumbfounded, he replied, "Who the fuck said that?"

"The Sun?"

"And why the fuck would you listen to those fucking pricks?" They don’t fucking work anywhere near as hard as you do."

It’s true that although you were technically an assistant journalist for Trent, you took it upon yourself to do other things around the club for the team. often on coffee runs, helping Will, answering emails for Trent, or really anything you could keep yourself busy with. It didn’t help with your personal life, though; you overfilled your day so much that when you get home, you’re too exhausted to do anything else.

"Thanks Roy."

He grunted and left.

You finally clocked out and headed to your car when you caught Ted on his phone next to it.

"Oh, hey, Ted, what are you still doing here?"

"Listen, I was wondering if you wanted to have a drink or something."

"Ted, I would love to, trust me, but I’m just exhausted, and I’m seriously considering just sleeping in my car."

"I mean, heck, I could drive you home if you don’t mind."

You threw him your keys. Unlocking it, he opened the door, still forgetting that it wasn’t his side. Him still leaving the door open for you to get in and jogging to the other side.

"I’d have to say this is the most normal car in this parking lot; there are too many fast Italian ones here," he says as he drives out of the lot.

You scoffed, "You couldn’t make me buy one, I need a Subaru."

"I immediately could tell you weren’t from around here with this janky thing."

"Janky? Were you expecting me to pull in with a huge Ford F-150, Ted?"

"I would’ve liked you to, would make me feel right at home."

"No way you had one!" I wouldn’t have pegged you for a truck guy."

"Yep, a huge navy blue one, had a Kansas State Shockers sticker on the corner of the back window. That’s how I could tell which one was mine.” You could tell he was so happy that he could talk about the American college experience with someone other than a Beard.

"How long did you coach at WSU?"

"Five years took us all the way to the national championship."

You yawned in between words, "That’s amazing, Ted."

"God, I hope I’m not boring you," he laughed.

"You’re so mean! and you missed the turn, just take this left, and we can get into the parking garage."

"Ooh, a parking garage, that’s mighty fancy” he chirped.

"It’s what happens when you don’t spend $400k on a car."

You both pulled into your spots. Once you were parked, you gathered your things. "Here we are, home sweet home," Ted said enthusiastically.

"Actually, Ted, sorry, do you mind if you walk me to my flat? It’s just that it’s late and dark, so I-"

"No, yeah, of course, no need to apologize,” he said, closing the car door that was followed by two beeps echoing off the cement walls.

"Thanks, and thank you so much for bringing me home; you really didn’t have to."

"It was my pleasure, darlin'," he winked.

Surely you hadn’t heard him right. Darlin’? Was he flirting with you? You walked to the door and swiped your security card to get into your building. You turned to hold the door for Ted; you hadn’t noticed how much he towered over you. His six-foot stature made you question how you also hadn’t noticed his shoulders and strong arms. Were his eyes always that warm brown?

“You can’t just run towards supersoldiers to face them right away!” You shouted at Joaquín as you walked closer to him, the steps as loud as your words. “You can't just put yourself at that risk! And for what? Proving a point?”

He was leaning against a wall, lip bruised, arm filled with bandages and face decorated with small cuts you hated so much.

“Doing my job?” He said, the urge to justify his actions rising to the surface. But he also wanted to say the right words to not make you mad, to make you. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to make you worry.” Joaquín took a step back, as if that could shield him from your anger.

“But you did.” You argued. “You did and my heart almost stopped seeing your face this swollen and the way you were down on the floor! You keep doing…”

He stops you with a kiss, a careful and gentle one to not make the bruising in his lip worse. It left you a bit more mad but at the same time it soothed the worry.

He was there by your side. Alive.

“I appreciate your worry, mi amor.” He caressed your cheek. “But I’m okay and I’m right here.”

“It just…” You breathed heavily, the frustration was clear in your face. You searched for an interesting place on the ceiling to look at, just to avoid the reminders of the occurrence. “I love you so much. So much. I don’t want to even think about losing you.”

Joaquín’s heart always raced when he heard those three words leaving your mouth, it had been months and it never got old. He kept smiling softly at you, warm hand finding the side of your cheek. “And I love you too.”

You stood there, hugging in silence.

“You need to promise me.” You said, lifting your head from his chest.

“What?” He raised his brow, one more time confused.

“Promise me you’ll take more care.” You explained. “I don’t mind you doing your work. I admire it very much, but I hate when you’re this careless! I need you here, okay? By my side.”

You laid a soft peck in his lips, looking up with pleading eyes.

“I promise, cariño. How could I say no when you do this?” He said, gesturing to your whole frame that leaned against him.

You laughed at him and left one more kiss in his lips, taking special care with the bruises on his face. Joaquín pushed you closer by your waist, kissing you a tiny bit harder.

“Since when are they together?” Bucky asked Sam at a distance, looking at the two of you curious.

“I think it’s been six months or something.” Sam answered, without looking up from what he was doing. “They really think they’re hiding it well.”

Bucky still stared at the scene, looking quite confused.

“Did you really miss that?” Sam was surprised, how did someone with that training could miss something so… obvious?

With his usual stern expression, Bucky shrugged and followed on with what he was doing.

“Just don’t mention it to the kids, let them tell you when they’re ready or something.”

Every time you think about the day you met Joaquín you only knew more and more about how it all sounded so cliche.

You were certain you did not want to fall in love, it wasn’t time for that — just as it was something you could decide and stick to so simply as deciding to go out with your friends. It was on an ordinary night like that you saw him for the first time. You sat side by side with him and suddenly the whole event turned into a very long conversation between the two of you with occasional comments from the friends that also were on the table.

You said to yourself it was because you both ended up on that isolated corner of the table, only that one reason. Sure it was.

It didn’t take more than those three hours out for you to find yourself being driven home by Joaquín under the excuse that “It’s too late for you to go by yourself” even if the sun had barely disappeared. You were so gone by that smile that you only nodded and got into his car, the ride incredibly pleasurable for someone you’ve just met.

You were a bit shocked when he didn’t try to kiss you as you got to your front door, even if you didn’t want it. Because you didn’t, right?

Yes, you did.

Thorn between your decision and the man that occupied your mind way too much during the following week, you were incredibly quick to accept his invitation for dinner on a slow Friday night. Only because I have nothing to do, you reasoned yourself with cheap lies.

“Hey there.” Joaquín greeted you the moment you sat in his car. “These are for you.” He extended his hand that held a bouquet filled with daisies.

How could you stop your heart from melting at that?

“I… I loved it.” You said, maybe the first time you were being honest with your own feelings.

“Just wait until we get there.”

…

It was a disaster. There was a problem with your reservation and there was no table, your stomach kept complaining way too loud and making you embarrassed. You were starting to think you were right before with how you promised yourself to not do this for now.

But Joaquín was so excited he didn’t let it go sideways even when it already was.

“Did you have fun?” He asked you, his voice quite insecure and you decided you didn’t like that tone in him. You were sitting on the sidewalk as you ate a burger and you never had that much fun on a date — it must’ve had something to do with that weird green sauce. “I know this isn’t what you expected, but…”

“I did.” You cut his rambling before it even started. “But you bet I’m not going to let you kiss me after this.” You gesticulated to all the food. “I bet it’d be far from a pleasurable experience.”

You both laughed together.

“So I guess we’ll have to go out again to fix this.”

Yeah, you did go out again, some much you’ve lost the count pretty quickly. It was the one time you were happy to lose the fight against him, the charming man who just decided to mess with your whole life.

Mess with it in the best way.

midnight cup of coffee | fictober 22

fictober day 02 | “Nobody warned you about me?”

summary | Joaquín Torres could look like one innocent man but he knew very well the effect he had on you.

fandom | Marvel

pairing | Joaquín Torres x reader

warnings | implied smut, joaquín torres is one hot man and he knows what he’s doing, slightly spicy

word count | 459

author’s note | So, I wrote this while trying to forget about today’s events — presidential elections are taking away any scrape of sanity I still had. I hope you enjoy the second blurb though, I was really feeling like taking some risk with something more spicy!

🍂 Fictober 2022 🍂 Taglist 🍂 Joaquín Torres Masterlist 🍂

Could you be more surprised?

Your first dates with Joaquín were magical, the type you came back home breathing deeply to contain the smile and the dreamy atmosphere that loomed around you.

Texts were filled with that warm feeling, the one that makes your heart do a flip and then land in a sequence of excited jumps. Yeah, it was insane.

You looked at him and saw a prince, a sweet beautiful man who would do anything for you and, well, you’d do anything he asked with that smile. Every date was something that gave you more and more hope about a possible future with him.

But you never got somewhere with him.

Joaquín would often leave you on your doorway with a deep and longing kiss, one to leave your knees weak and wanting to pull him right back against your lips. You waited for the day you’d finally bring him in for a cup of coffee, just a little innocent invitation in hope it would turn into more. 

You were so sure you’d be the one to take some sort of action to change the stage you were currently in, Joaquín was too sweet and seemed to be afraid to overstep boundaries — even if all you wanted was for that man to just lose himself in you.

“Maybe you could stay this time.” You suggested with your eyes still closed, nose brushing against his to try to persuade him — even if you were sure you were melting more than him. “You know, get a cup of coffee…”

“You know it’s pretty late for coffee right, cariño?” He laughed against your lips, hands traveling to rest in your cheeks, as if you needed more of his warmth to add to the whole thing.

“You know what I meant by coffee.” You confessed, bothered by his teasing demeanor that was way more outgoing that day.

“Do I?” He distanced himself some inches, which was way more than you could’ve wanted.

Heat flowed to your cheeks, the very same he was holding so carefully in his warm hands. His brown eyes opened and watched you closely with a knowing smirk. “You’re a menace, Joaquín Torres.” That was all you could very eloquently get out of your mouth.

“Nobody warned you about me?” Joaquín said with a wink.

“I probably wouldn’t have believed it.” Because if it wasn’t by you being there no one could get you to believe in how that man could make you turn to puddle with a single wink.

“You underestimate me way too much.” He stated, leaning closer to capture your lips with his, and step by step you crossed the threshold into your living room. “But about your invitation, I’d love a cup of coffee.”

[jstlikemagic]

hi! how was your thanksgiving?
