I hope no one ever breaks their record for anything <3
there will be nothing like the big 3 ever again and i hope it stays that way actually
#hope they never get replaced idc 🫶#like im not trying to be a stereotypical cliche “blinded by nostalgia” and cant see potential or future or whatever#but the big 3 is something that cannot be replaced and replicated no matter how many star players pop up#no matter how great a player is or how greate the rivalry is#the big 3 is THE rivalry. they are THE peak of tennis. they made tennis famous#this was the case for many#like the “they made tennis famous.” and ”tennis made them famous.” exactly#and i feel like the big 3 was genuine ykwim?#like epic rivalries had been going on in tennis for a long long time its not some rareoccurence#but what they have is true and genuine#no one forced them. it wasnt for publicity or the social media forcing them to be together#they got to tennis and they made their own life and chose their own rivalries with their own personality#no one asked for novak to come because we had fedal already but he did! he did and he made that change#no one asked roger and rafa to be good friends for the sake of publicity.#they didnt like each other at first and no one arranged some sort of bromance thing at first#it just came to be#and even back then the interviews wasnt about how they could live up to this and live up to that#big 3 is genuine. dramatic. its real and raw. nothing can beat that#thats why when the three (four) of them goes#idk what will happen to me with tennis#tennis#rafael nadal#roger federer#rafa nadal#novak djokovic

Gwilym and the reader have been best friends for as long as they could remember and they just did a movie together so they’re doing an interview together and he accidentally reveals a huge secret
You sit in the middle of Joe and Gwilym on a small velvet purple coloured sofa, so small in fact, that it seemed as if it were made for you three, and you lean your head back as one of the make up team applies some powder to your face to make you look a little less shiny on camera. The three of you had done two previous interviews, and by now the room was a little on the warm side, so you needed all the help you could get for the next one, although it was your last, so there was a light at the end of the tunnel thankfully.
“You okay?” Gwilym asks in a slight whisper as the make up lady moves on to Joe.
“Yeah, I’m great, you?” you smile, turning as much as you could to face him.
“Perfect,” he grins, placing his hand on your thigh and squeezing it lightly. This was nothing out of the ordinary for you two, everyone knew that you’d been friends for years before doing Bohemian Rhapsody together, and your small public displays of affection went unnoticed nowadays, especially from the rest of the cast.
“Get a room you two,” Joe smirks from beside you. Well, it went unnoticed most of the time, anyway.
“We did, but you followed us in,” Gwilym quips back, shooting Joe a playful grin over your shoulder.
“Okay, calm down boys, one more interview then we can go for a drink, yeah?” you say as you turn to the face the currently empty chair in front of you all.
“Sounds good to me,” Joe replies, “will you be joining us, Gwil?”
“Wouldn’t miss it for the world, mate,” he says, stretching his arm around the back of the sofa, and carefully placing his hand on your shoulder so that it’s not visible to the camera. His thumb strokes your t-shirt, then the interviewer enters the room, and you all stand up to greet him. He’s a young man named Harry, and his hand shakes a little when it gets to you.
“You okay, Harry?” Gwilym asks, noticing the slight shake.
“Yeah, yes, this is my first big interview though, so please forgive me if I’m a little nervous,” he smiles as he takes his seat, “feels like a job interview with you three sat opposite me!”
“Don’t worry! At least it’s not all of us, right?” you grin.
“True, very true,” he nods, “thank you.”
The camera starts to roll just as he gets his papers in order, then with a surprising air of confidence, he makes his introduction, then delivers the first question.
“Gwilym, I’ll come to you first, how was it working so closely with the Brian May?”
“Intimidating, to say the least. Although by the end of it I think I was the one freaking him out… We sort of ended up mirroring each other quite a lot, it was a little worrying,” Gwilym chuckles.
“If it weren’t for the colour of the hair, you’d never have been able to tell them apart!” Joe adds, and you laugh along with them.
“Now, (Y/N), what was it like kissing Rami in those teeth? Did they get in the way at all?”
“It was more than a little awkward,” you laugh, feeling Gwilym’s hand on your shoulder again as he stretches out once more, his long fingers tickling you slightly, “there was a certain amount of practising that had to be done beforehand, that’s for sure.”
“Is that what you call it?” Joe smirks.
“I think Lucy would have been having words with me otherwise...” you say, nudging Joe’s arm.
“Speaking of which, were there any other romances on set?” Harry asks, looking along all three of you for some kind of sign before you answered. He may be nervous, but he knew exactly what to look for.
“You mean apart from the bromance that formed between the four guys?” you answer, before anyone else opens their mouths, “they weren’t exactly subtle about it, either.”
“What can we say? It was an instant connection,” Joe smiles.
“If only we’d met a few months earlier, they definitely would have been invited to our wedding,” Gwilym laughs, then his face drops as both you and Joe turn to look at him, shocked expressions on both your faces.
“Our wedding?” Harry asks without missing a beat. Gwilym looks directly at you, his mouth moving a little, but no sound coming out of it yet, and you manage to arrange your face into one of calm, then give him a nod, keeping your face turned to him as he speaks to Harry.
“Yes,” he croaks, then clears his throat as he sits upright and places his free hand on yours, which is resting on your knee, “our wedding.”
“Well, to be honest, that’s thrown my questions completely out of the window,” Harry laughs, “how long ago was the wedding?”
“Just over a year,” Gwilym replies confidently as Joe sits there like a deer in headlights.
“Guys!” he eventually gasps, “guys!”
“I take it you had no clue?” Harry asks Joe.
“No clue at all!” he replies, still looking at you both, “I’m speechless!”
“And he’s never speechless,” Gwil adds.
“(Y/N), would you like to add anything?” Harry asks, and you finally look back up at him with a smile.
“I don’t think so, no,” you chuckle.
“So, in light of this news, I have to ask… How was it watching your wife kiss another man?” Harry smirks.
You sit back against Gwilym’s arm with a laugh, his other hand still caressing yours on your leg, and you shuffle over to rest against his side as Joe looks at you both with a smile. Thinking about it, he knew there must have been something between you at one point, or there was going to be something in the future, and he was actually impressed with how well you’d kept the secret from everyone.
“It was a challenge, I’m not going to lie. Especially as they did actually have to practise it beforehand,” he laughs, “how I stopped myself from letting this slip then, I do not know.”
“Is there any reason you’ve kept this a secret so long?” Harry asks, looking to you more than Gwilym. You feel Gwil turn towards you, his hand resting soothingly on your back, and you give a short shrug before answering.
“Not particularly,” you start, “it just sort of… happened.”
“It was such a natural progression in our lives, that it didn’t even occur to us to ‘announce’ it as such,” Gwilym adds.
“You two are too much,” Joe says, pretending to wipe tears from his face, “the sweetest damn couple I’ve ever met.”
“Stop it, you,” you laugh, playfully slapping his leg.
“I’m just really happy I was here to witness this moment,” he carries on, dabbing his cheeks with his jacket cuff as if he were crying. Gwilym reaches from behind you to give him a shove, and you all sit there laughing for a moment before regaining your composure and directing your attention back to Harry.
“I have a question,” Joe then says, turning to you both on the sofa, “when were you going to tell us?”
“Probably when we got back to normality and started wearing our wedding rings again,” Gwilym laughs, “it would be the only time we’d actually remember that we hadn’t said anything before.”
“True!” you agree, “it’d be that sudden moment of realisation that you still had no clue!”
“I’ll try not to take it too personally...” Joe winks.
“Sorry, we’ve sort of derailed your interview here, haven’t we?” you apologise with a slightly worried look on your face as you meet Harry’s gaze.
“I can forgive you, you’ve given me more than enough with your accidental reveal,” he grins.
“Me and my big mouth,” Gwilym scoffs, rolling his eyes.
“What else has he got that’s big?” Joe asks you, a devilish grin spread across his lips.
