the thing that made me feel better about the whole shitshow that was the mismanagement of Izzy's death was David's tweet of "fwiw there’s no version of this show that doesn’t include Izzy Hands" and in the midst of a lot of unhappy fan reactions, he also liked tweets referencing the fact that Buttons is a witch and what that must mean for Izzy's future, those things gave me, and many others, hope. but the thing is, he also said in an interview that this was the last time we will see Izzy alive, and it made me think, hmm, so then youd just bring him back to use him again huh? because what kind of a life is izzy gonna get to live if hes not actually alive? he's going to be used as some sort of plot device for one of the other characters, again, or even worse, be brought back as a joke of some sort, which, objectively i do think itd be funny if he was a zombie or something but like no one even acknowledges that fact, and they go about their lives as usual, yeah that would be funny, but once again it would be a shame for his character, which has shown the most growth out of anyone, to be boiled down to the role of a clown. He also could just show up in memories from when they were younger, to score cheap emotional responses from those fans that miss him, while also enabling us to gain further insight on Ed's character more than likely, so once again, using him. Even though i cant deny id be happy to see Con again, i think its going to be nearly impossible to do this in a way that isnt going to feel like a slap in the face, like a means of appeasement. it makes it quite obvious that even they knew Izzy had more to offer the show, if after killing him senselessly, they act like we are silly in thinking he wouldnt be brought back in a season 3, excuse me, are we supposed to take the death of a character seriously or not? because im watching your show and i watched you bury him, so that seems pretty final to me, but yes, the seagull landed on his cross, but guess what, i also read your interview where you said that magic doesnt exist in this world, yet now youre saying witches are real, so im really confused about if David really knows what he's talking about because he keeps contradicting himself, and honestly thats very scary when it comes to being able to successfully conclude this series...

For the hc, could you do one with best friend cal? Like you met in your early 20s, so you don’t know each other very well, but you actually get along pretty well? Thanks, i love what you write! 🤍
i‘m sorry for seeing this just now!!! but omg absolutely i‘m a SUCKER for best friend!calum but we been knew lmao
— so imagine one day you decide you want to discover the world so you move to london for a bit because it‘s such a beautiful city i miss london
— thats where you meet his sister mali and you start hanging out, she shows you the city and you befriend her
— so when calum comes to visit her, she‘s so excited to introduce you to him
— because she knows how well you‘d get along
— so you end up going to a bar with calum, mali and some of your friends you got to know during your time in london
— you haven‘t really been going out lately because you spent most of your days exploring london so you ended up being super tired at the end of the day and didn’t have much time to get into the nightlife
— so you‘re SUPER enthusiatic about getting drunk and having a good time
— so is he
— because let‘s be real
— calum is the life of the party
— and when you‘re drunk you end up rambling a lot and he ends up listening to all your stories and chuckles at everything you say because he thinks you‘re SO attractive, thats the first thing he thought when he saw you
— and when everyone ends up leaving because it‘s already 2am
— and you‘re all :( because you’re having so much fun
— he ends up staying with you because he‘s been enjoying your company just as much
— so you end up drinking more, staying for one more hour until he decides it‘s time for you to go to bed before you end up drinking too much
— he takes you home hoping you remember how to get there because he has no idea obviously
— resting your head on his shoulder while driving to your apartment
— kissing his cheek when he drops you off without really thinking about it while it basically makes his whole night
— you hang out once or twice before he has to leave
— him wanting to get your number but forgetting to ask you so he has to stop by your apartment on his way to the airport so he ends up almost missing his flight
— texting non stop
— eventually getting to know each other really well
— late night facetime calls when you can‘t sleep and he isn’t busy while he‘s on the other side of the planet
— eventually you have to go back to LA
— and you‘re sad because you‘ve been having such a great time in london
— but you‘re also excited about being able to reunite with cal and being able to hang out with him more often
— because months and months of daily texting made you two become very close
— he offers to pick you up from the airport
— you get lunch together because you chose to ditch the airplane food
— and you catch up even though you have been telling him about pretty much everything that‘s been happening
— he introduces you to the rest of the band
— you get along very well with them
— and end up getting along too well with michael, at least for calums liking
— when all the boys take their girlfriends to events or just movie nights at their places he ends up taking you
— not just because he hates being the only one without a date
— but because he enjoys being with you
— you make him feel calm ((no pun intended)) and comfortable in a way no girl has ever done it before
— rumors about you being his girlfriend
— him making sure to call you his best friend and only that in all his IG captions of posts you‘re in
— the fans pointing out that it sounds like he‘s friendzoning you which makes you think about the whole situation in a different way and leaves you kinda hurt ngl
— eventually kinda falling for him ???
— you don‘t realize it, you just notice how you feel different about him suddenly so you don‘t hang out as much anymore
— at least until you know whats going on
— you get whats going on in your mind when you walk into his place one day with the spare key he gave you and you see him making out with a random girl you‘ve never seen before
— you apologize and shut the door, running back to your car and driving away mindlessly
— your heart BROKE when you saw them and you started crying the second the door shut behind you
— you don‘t realize where you’re heading until you arrive at ashtons place
— and he opens the door with a smile not expecting you to come over spontaneously only for it to turn into a worried frown when he sees your red puffy eyes
— you explain everything
— your weird feelings for calum that you can‘t really understand, running into him making out with „some random bitch“
— „i don‘t know but to me it sounds like you have a crush on him?“
— „aSHTON NO, he‘s my best friend“
— „well yeah but–“
— „ASHTON“
— you realize he‘s right though
— he helps you deal with your feelings that you didn‘t want to accept at first
— because it has always worked out and you didn‘t want to risk a friendship that worked out so effortlessly
— calum wondering why you‘re avoiding him
— you miss him so much but you‘re so afraid of what it‘s gonna be like when you finally see him again
— ashton forcing you to attend lukes birthday party even though calum will obviously be there
— you get REALLY DRUNK to stop feeling so nervous to be around your best friend you apparently have feelings for
— but when he takes your hand and pulls you away from the others to go outside and talk to you you think your heart is going to BURST from beating so fast
— him saying that he misses you and that he‘s been feeling terrible because you haven’t been around and you stopped replying to his texts
— him thinking he‘s done something wrong when in reality you were just running away from your feelings being too scared of ruining something that made you feel so good
— feeling so bad about making him think he‘s to blame that you start bawling
— and rambling
— so when you try explaining your feelings and why you‘ve been distant you don‘t give him a chance to say anything
— „i‘ve been so confused because i didn’t know what was going on and why it hurt me so much to see you make out with that girl back at your place, i just wanted to try to spend time with you again to get back to enjoying your company but then that happened and when i went to ashtons place to rant about it he“
— „you talked to ashton instead of me?“
— „CALUM I CAN‘T BELIEVE I‘M TALKING ABOUT THIS DON‘T INTERRUPT ME NOW“
— „anyways he told me that i might have a crush on you and i didn‘t want it to be real i just wanted to be your best friend because it worked out so well, WE worked out so well and i don‘t want to destroy what we have just because of some random crush that might only be temporary oh god i ruined it now didn‘t i fuck i didn’t mean to fuck this up i‘m so sorry i hope we can go back to being friends one day but i get if you no longer want to talk to me now i destroyed everything we had please don‘t hate me i–“
— he grabs your face and shuts you up immediately
— you really just said that ???? out loud ?? to him ??????
— you‘re about to start crying again
— but he pulls you closer and kisses you
— and you‘re so confused and overwhelmed that you don‘t even get to kiss him back
— but when he pulls away and you see his face you look at him and realize how much you missed seeing him
— and you notice how PRETTY HE IS
— his golden skin, his dark eyes, his plump lips
— even the bags under his eyes from sleepless nights full of thinking about you look beautiful
— and then you snap out of your trance when he raises his voice
— „how could i hate you when i‘ve been waiting for so long to hear these words“

1. “I guess you’re my soulmate then. I wasn’t expecting this, to be completely honest.” Roman and Deciet
Graced with you
okay my brain wasnt allowing me to actually write how i normally write so bullet fic! (i think thats the word!) sorry it took so long!
Also its unedited, and so sorry mobile users
words: 1583
ao3 link
contents and warnings: mentioned/referenced bullying, ptsd(?), roceit, soulmate au, teachers willfully ignoring bullying, pining, panic attack, hurt/comfort, human au,
____
Okay so soulmate au right?
Janus has a big splotch of a hand on the side of his face, and that plus his natural sarcastic demeanor his fellow middle school kids end up bullying him, because it looks like janus’s own soulmate hated him enough to slap him, and the teachers (With their own prejudice) ignore the bullying
Janus grows up to kind of hate his soulmate, trying to wall himself up because he doesn't want to grow even slightly fond of someone who hated him that much and caused him so much hurt
So time skip of him not getting close to anyone besides an emo guy named virgil and he’s in college
And he lives in the dorms with a roommate, this roommate is named roman, their a loud but sweet and pretty considerate theater major, and by the second month of Janus living in the dorm he gets a crush on this roman,
but hey, its not like he’ll ever tell roman about it,
So things continue into the months, and things are fine, roman to Janus’s relief had quickly found out Janus wasn't the biggest fan of physical touch (which isn't the whole truth but he appreciated it nonetheless) so Janus didn't have to awkwardly decline excited high fives or hugs anymore so he didn't have to see the disappointed look roman gave when roman thought Janus stopped looking
And on roman’s side he’s also had a crush on Janus, which is why he looks so absolutely dejected when declined even a high five, but he would die before doing anything that makes Janus even the slightest uncomfortable so he instead goes to his best friends, Patton and Logan, and rambles about the small interaction janus and roman had that day. Patton offers hugs and Logan always just sighs, grateful that him and Remy were platonic soulmates so Logan never had to dealing with those kinds of feelings,
And for a while its routine, Janus and roman get home, if the other one is there they might watch a show or just get their work done, then later janus might scream into his pillow after roman’s left to (unbeknownst to him) ramble about how silky soft janus’s voice is,
But the key word is for a while, because one day while janus is out shopping for food because he has more self preservation then to eat top ramen for every meal no matter how easy it is, he sees one of the kids who used to bully him, or at least that's who he thinks it is, because he didn't get a good look since he bolted from parking lot not a second after getting the smallest glimpse, flight pulsing through his veins so quickly as he hurriedly ran back to the dorm groceries in tow.
So after a bit he did get to the dorm and When he does he just kind of drops off the groceries onto the floor before running into his room and slamming the door, sliding down the wall to try and attempt to breathe as he keeps touching and itching the soul marked skin,
But unbeknownst to him roman hadn't gone to one of his classes that day meaning they were home, meaning he had heard the slam and also the hiccups and sobs.
So like roman doesnt want to intrude but he’s really worried because in the seven months of living with janus he’s never once heard janus cry, so he’s like standing outside the door, nervous that he might make janus somehow feel worse
But like eventually he’s just like “I’m a prince! I gotta help the person in distress!” so he quietly knocks and immediately janus is silent, terrified he had been caught crying, and once again feeling like he was in middle school no matter how many walls he’s built up
But after a couple minutes of pure silence and janus repressing his tears he realized he should respond to roman’s knock, and he was gonna tell them he was fine and to go away but he knows no one would believe it and virgil had talked to him about ‘repressing feelings’
So all that added up makes his mouth make a decision before his brain and he just kinda scoots out of the way of the door and mumbles “you can come in”
So roman does and he’s quickly distressed by janus’s state but they go to try and sit but then get an idea and bolt back to their room to grab something before coming back and plopping down a stuffed animal for janus that patton had given roman, because they didn't want to break boundaries but they knew janus needed a hug
So he plops the stuffy into janus’s lap which surprises janus but he quickly understand and wraps his arms around it tightly,
Roman is happy that it's been accepted and continues “what happened?” he tries before adding “you don't have to tell me but my friend says telling people helps sometimes”
And janus is stuck between a rock and a hard place because he likes roman and roman’s never even spared a glance at the soulmark, just looking at him and they’ve never mocked him, but he’s terrified.
So after another minute he just mumbles into the stuffed animal “saw someone mean” without going into too much detail but still tears start pouring once again
Roman is frantic, not knowing what to do besides mutter words of encouragement like patton and logan sometimes do when he’s nervous about going onto stage at the community theater, so he’s just trying his best but it doesn't seem to help much, janus is hunching into himself even more and roman can't do anything-
And then they ask a question “can i touch you?”
And janus despite himself nods slowly
And the roman leans forward and cups janus’s cheek in his hand, carefully wiping away some tears from janus’s eye, and then blinking in surprise because right as he’s forgotten about soulmates, his palmside of their hand is suddenly a beautiful pastel yellow color and suddenly janus’s face is a brilliant red,
And as he retreats his hand to look at it, janus just hunches his shoulders, not knowing why roman drew away but sure it's somehow his fault.
But then roman looks practically starry-eyed as he stares at his hand and janus’s confusion grows infinitely more,
Then Slowly roman turns his head to focus on janus again before just carefully offering their hand, and janus, confused but wanting something to hold onto, does gingerly hold onto it.
And roman is just beaming and janus has no clue why until his eyes finally process a slight change.
Roman’s hand is yellow
Roman’s soul mark is yellow and janus was sure it wasn't before.
Suddenly his mind makes a connection
First touch + activated soulmark = soulmate.
He freezes; he was soul mates with roman? How? Roman was amazing? And roman somehow seems okay with that?
Before he has a chance to spiral (for a different reason this time) roman just throws his arms around him ecstatically because !!!they just found his soulmate!!! And it's janus!!!
And like janus is kind of overwhelmed by the touch but his mind is also so happy, so he just melts into the touch and tries wrapping his arms around roman in return, and though its not entirely successful their both just like “!!!”
And then roman- while grinning broadly just goes “can i pick you up?” and janus- kind of thinking its a joke goes in his most teasing voice “sure” and then suddenly he’s off the ground and being carried like a princess and roman is bringing him to the living room so they can sit down on this couch, the whole time grinning and janus is just trying not to fall.
Then janus is plopped securely on the couch along with Roman.
And he’s just raising a questioning eyebrow at roman, haven already forgotten the reason he had been sobbing and instead  just focusing on Roman’s beautiful hazel eyes
Roman smiles softly at him and with the softest voice they say “I guess you're my soulmate then..  I wasn’t expecting this to be honest“
Janus hums and in the most teasing voice he can manage (which is a bit strained) he goes “you disappointed?”
And Roman looks almost offended as he answers “of course not! I’m simply stating I didn’t expect to be graced with you as a soulmate!” “Graced?” “Well of course!!! I don’t know much about you but I already know you're absolutely wonderful!”
And Janus just rolls his eyes in an attempt to hide the blush the ignited in his cheeks before focusing on clumsily pulling out his phone from his pocket and looking at his face
And then suddenly his breath hitches because people said it was gonna be a mark of hatred and it was gonna look awful, but as he finally looks at his now activated soulmark all he can think of is how beautiful it is, with just the beautiful red and the knowledgeable it wasn’t created out of hate
So he ends up just pushing himself a bit closer to Roman so he can rest his head on him
And after a moment he smirks and goes“I think I’m graced to be your soulmate too” and even though the words are slightly teasing Roman can instantly tell their ever so genuine
So he smiled.

GOM valentine’s HCs
some late gom+kuroko+momoi x reader (separately) valentine’s hcs that have probably been done to death before but i still wanted to write some so here! please enjoy!
akashi
akashi definitely shows how happy and grateful he is when he gets your chocolates. so much that he’s almost acting strange if you didn’t know him so well
(because he remembers all those days his mother tried to give his father love and never received any acknowledgement in return. he is not repeating that with you)
he’s super freaking happy and smothers you with kisses and cuddles
then he starts giving back
really giving back like he stays with you the whole day, is a complete gentleman (but more than usual because let’s be real he always is), more affectionate, really does not let you lift a finger
you: sei you know it’s okay, i can carry one bag
akashi: nonsense, it’s my thanks for those chocolates you made. which i absolutely loved by the way
you: you...you said that when you paid for lunch. and when you drove us to the park. and--
akashi: it’s my thanks. for the chocolates i loved. did i mention they were delicious--
you, blushing: ohmygod okay okay fine
midorima
if it’s your unlucky day, midorima’s gonna be watching your back and making this day as good as it could get because yes he believes in oha asa but he will not allow bad luck to ruin your day because he knows you’ve been working so hard to make this day good for the both of you
if it’s his unlucky day, he’s gonna be on edge maybe even entertaining thoughts of whether he should be near you so you’ll have to reassure him that all will be fine
you, over the phone: but i have to give you my gifts!!!!!
midorima: your chances of having a good day will be drastically lowered if i’m with you, so i’ll pick them up tomorrow, nanodayo
you: shintaro! dont! you! dare! think! you! could! ruin! my! day! you make my day so you better!!!! 
midorima: i’m sorry y/n, but i don’t want to risk it
you: well i guess i’ll just wait at the cafe by myself...with all these couples around me...
midorima, guilty: fine. but only for an hour
he’s got your lucky item ready and his own when he gets there
you don’t make a letter for him though, you merely just give a speech about every thing you love about him from his belief in oha asa, to the way he looks out for you, to his love for basketball, his manner of speech and everything else (yes right in that cafe. the elderly couple in the next table over are giving you such fond looks)
by the end of it, he’s a blushing mess and that’s what your goal was all along let’s be honest
aomine
he pretends to think valentine’s a really tacky and stupid day and how ‘theres no point giving anything on this particular day its just stupid’
so much so that you hesitate when giving your chocolates 
you hesitate so much so that he notices and now that he notices he feels slightly bad and tries to drop some hints 
you, reluctantly: it’s really...all in your face huh 
aomine, swearing at himself: it’s not too bad
but when you go the whole day without giving him anything he starts getting worried
aomine, thinking: crap did you think i meant all that
of course, if you actually got him nothing that’s fine too but he doesn’t want the reason you got him nothing was because he thinks it’s stupid
especially when he sees how you’re pointedly trying to ignore every other couple
so, just as you two are about to part ways, he goes
‘look, you know i didnt mean any of that stupid shit. i dont mind valentines chocolates or anything i was just being stupid’
he’s scared to look at you but when he does
youre giving him this shit-eating grin
you, smug: so you finally admit it huh
aomine: what the hell y/n
you reveal that you just wanted him to say all that and now that he has, you’ve won!
he’s half red because of frustration and half because of embarrassment but well
that’s one of the reasons he loves you ofc
kise, murasakibara, kuroko, momoi under the cut!
kise
patiently waits for his chocolates
patiently
but he has to wait hourrrrssss because he has a photoshoot that day which sucks because he’d wanted to stay over so he wouldn’t get caught with fans going over
and inevitably he does get caught by a bunch of fans and gets given loads of chocolates from them
but of course he’s waiting for yours
so he can’t wait until he meets up at your house and you greet him with a bright smile and his is equally as bright
he’s really not subtle at all
kise: hey hey y/n-cchi did you make me some chocolates?????? im really craving chocolates today!!!!!! chocolates you made!!!!! because i love you!!!!! (he had been too excited to realise mayyybe bringing over the chocolates his fans gave him would give the wrong impression so he hastily shoved them all under his coat at the last minute this boy)
you: you can just say you want some you know...i know its valentines 
when you give it to him he’s over the moon. he’s...very dramatic when he tastes them. like a lot
kise: THESE ARE SO GOOD Y/N-CCHI THE BEST CHOCOLATES IVE EATEN IN MY LIFE I LOVE THEM SO MUCH I LOVE YOU--
you, slightly worried: thanks. i think. you know if they’re bad you can just say so--
kise: NO THEY’RE GOOD I SWEAR I JUST
he’s crying tears of joy this silly boy
murasakibara
don’t go outside with this boy during valentine’s 
he will see all those chocolates and sweets and will need them
goodbye money 
you have to promise to buy them all when the clearance sales come out but you and murasakibara enjoy a day-in together maybe baking some sweets yourself because you know that he does actually like to bake despite how ‘lazy and unreluctant’ he seems
he unintentionally does the move where he kisses you and says ‘oh there was something on your face’ because there was genuinely something on your face and he does not realise what a cliche cheesy romance film move that is
you already have some sweets ready so he munches on them whilst you wait for the others to finish
and surprisingly, murasakibara gives you half of what you both made. its special because he usually just gives like...a quarter which is fair because your appetites are nowhere near the same let’s be honest
he does it because he vaguely recalls muro-chin saying something about how “valentine’s day is a special day for y/n-san” and slightly misinterprets it 
it’s a touching gesture coming from him of course
you gotta cherish it because once you two go buy those leftover sweets the next day...
kuroko
you know him well enough by now that you understand that despite how small his smile is, he’s smiling wide inside when you give him the vanilla milkshake you made and maji burger coupons you made/got
he asks for the recipe to make and even though you’re more than willing to tell it to him, he insists that you need to show it to him
you, explaining: so then you just add the rest of the--
kuroko: i apologise, i do not understand, y/n-san. can you please show it to me instead?
you: are you sure? i’m sure you can do it fine!!! here, i’ll write it down!!
kuroko: no, please. i am not confident in my ability. i will be more confident with you by my side 
you blush at his words because they are so genuinely truthful but also cheesy af
so, kinda like murasakibara, you guys make some vanilla milkshakes together
kuroko smiles a heck of a lot but it’s always when you’re back is turned whether it’s getting the ingredients from the cupboard or turning the blender on so you miSS A LOT OF BEAUTIFUL SMILES FROM THIS BOY 
but in the end you two make more than enough for the both of you so you have to store some for later
it only makes the memories last all the more
momoi
well its canon that shes not...great at cooking and that goes for baking 
and contrary to popular belief, she is aware of that fact (she just tries realllllly hard to deny it because her food tastes fine!!! maybe burnt or salty af but fine!!!)
so she tries this time
employing kagami to help her through saying dai-chan will do a one-on-one with him (its not true but. but she will get the redhaired boy to help her make these chocolates the best damn thing you’ve ever tasted or else)
its hard work (kagami thinks he’s worked harder than any basketball game ever)
but the work pays off and the chocolates taste..................good!!!!
momoi is sooooooo excited to give them to you (because of course she is she’s a romantic)
you on the other hand are searching on google for “how to eat food you don’t like” “how to not gag” “how to lie”
because you love love love momoi and do not want to hurt her feelings but h o w will you eat what she makes
so you get such a huge surprise when you anxiously bite into the chocolate and it’s.......
amazing 
and maybe it’s just your love for momoi making you really biased but damn it’s so good!!
momoi, worriedly because you haven’t really moved for a few minutes: is it good????
you: ...no--
momoi, panicking: *thinking* nononono but but kagami said it was good did he lie i am going to kill him ohmygodohmygod
you: it’s the best chocolates i’ve ever eaten

Nobody to Somebody - Trent Alexander-Arnold
Chapter Five
You looked at yourself in the mirror for what felt like the 100th time in the past 30 minutes. Time kept winding down to when Trent was supposed to pick you up. He had told you that the date was casual and to not dress up too much, but you couldn’t help but try and impress a little more with your appearance tonight. The clothes you picked out seemed acceptable for the occasion, as well as your hair and makeup done to your liking.
“if you keep looking at your outfit in the mirror, you’re going to end up changing because of something you find wrong with it.” Your friend sat on your bed looking at her phone, you made her help you with getting ready, after all she was the one who pushed you into going out tonight in the first place, well that and the attractive boy you were seeing that night.
“I just hope that I’m not too casual or too dressed up, you feel me? Kinda want him to continue to like me an-“ she cut you off
“I’m pretty sure that you won’t have a problem with that, from what I’ve seen he is pretty head over heels with you, I wouldn’t worry so much, you’re gonna get inside your own head and mess it up.” Her words somehow helped the situation. ‘He did seem pretty interested’, you thought. “Ok its almost 7, lets head down, we don’t want him to get mobbed and ruin your night.” She got up from your bed and handed you your purse and phone.
Almost there xx
The text that came through made your heart flutter. You don’t know how a boy you’ve only encountered twice could have such an effect on you. When you made it down outside the dorms you saw a really nice Range Rover pull up and your friend instantly nudged you with her mouth agape.
“Damn that’s his car, the things you could do in that car.” She smirked as you smacked her on the arm.
“Can you not make comments about it like that.” You glared at her as you saw Trent hop out of the car looking gorgeous as ever, starting to walk over in your direction.
“Don’t tell me you weren’t thinking the same thing?” She raised an eyebrow at you as you started to blush, but you had to hide it as he made it right in front of you.
“Hey, you look beautiful.” Was all he could say as he gave you a giant hug and smiled at your friend.
“I mean I hope so, you were very vague with details on your text message so we had to work with what you said.” Your friend laughed and as you glared at her you could hear the uncomfortable laugh that slipped from his mouth.
“Thank you, Trent, you look really nice too, ready to go?” You tried changing the subject so he didn’t have to deal with your friends unnecessary commentary.
“Yeah, let's go.” He smiled and grabbed your hand as he led you to his car. You thought maybe your friend would finally give it a rest as you made it to the car, but you knew better than to underestimate her.
“Be safe and use protection. I want her back in one piece.” She yelled as he opened the car door for you. ‘Ever the gentleman’ you thought.
“No promises.” He winked looking into your eyes and this time you couldn’t help but blush under his gaze. It was something about the way he looked at you, his full attention only to you and nothing else. In the short time you had known him, that was the one thing that made you feel that this actually could lead to something more.
As he entered his side of the car you couldn’t help but apologize profusely for your friends behavior. “Nah it's fine, I actually find her quite funny. She’s just looking out for ya.”
“A little too much sometimes.” You rolled your eyes and he chuckled.
“why do you think that? “ he questioned, if it were up to you, you’d tell him your whole life story, it was just that easy to talk to him.
“I mean out of my group of friends there, I’m the only one not from around here, so they all kinda put me under their wing and made sure that I know what goes on in the area. It’s more cautionary I guess.” You shrugged not really knowing what to say.
“Yeah I getchu, it’s hard to not be familiar with your surroundings.”
“How would you know hm? According to my friends, you’re a pretty big deal around here, lived here your whole life and play for your childhood team, that doesn’t happen to everyone ya know?” You raised an eyebrow at him jokingly and he chuckled.
“yeah I guess you’re right, I have been here my whole life and I wouldn’t change it for anything. Another reason I’m so glad about staying here is I got to meet you here.” He smirked at you before continuing to look at the road ahead.
“Ha ha, don’t go all soppy on me now,” you both laughed “where are you taking me anyway?”
“That’s for me to know and you to find out.” You huffed, not one used to surprises.
You reached a park eventually and you looked at him questionably. He just smiled brightly and headed to the back of the car. When you got out and met him back there he pulled out multiple things: a basket, blanket, some small cones, and a football.
“Wow a cute park picnic, how cliche.” You said as you grabbed the football from his hands bouncing it on the pavement as he laughed.
“You know its not a basketball right? You have to kick the ball with your feet not bounce it with your hands” He smirked as he started walking ahead of you, you eventually catching up with him.
“Yeah I know, I’m actually quite good at football if I do say so myself, reckon I’m better than you.” You teased, your real personality coming out and he was just eating it up.
“really and may I ask how you learned to play football?” He teased back placing the cones that would act as goal posts down.
“I’ll have you know, my brothers play the sport and my father is an avid fan as well.” You stated matter of a factly, having too much fun teasing back and forth.
“Really, so if you know so much about football how come you had no idea who I was, was it all a lie?” He gasped as he took the football from your hands and started to juggle it at his feet.
“I only know the players from the teams my family talks about, hate to break it to you but you aren’t the only footballer on the planet you know.” You countered back sticking out your tongue.
“Damn it, I could’ve sworn I was the only one.” He laughed passing you the ball to your feet. “Show me your skills coffee shop girl.”
“You’re on Mr. Nobody.” You smirked as you dribbled the ball at your feet as he tried to block you, obviously letting you pass him with ease and put the ball in between the cones. “GOAALLL!” You ran around as he laughed at you celebrating.
“what happened, I thought you were a world class defender and tha” you teased imitating his accent a bit giggling.
“Alright that’s it, I was gonna go easy on you but now that you have questioned my skills, I have to redeem myself.” He said with the ball at his feet ready to go.
The more you played the more you realized how much time you wanted to spend with him. His laugh so infectious and his demeanor so kind and playful.
As he dribbled the ball towards you, he tried to meg you but you got the ball and ran past him. He caught up with you though and picked you up from behind taking you away from the ball.
“Hey hey hey, thats cheating. Ref I think that warrants a red card.” You said still in his arms wrapped around you.
“Really?” He said turning you around so that you’re facing him. “What will happen if I get a red card?”
“You’re the footballer here shouldn’t you know?” You smirked wanting to play with him more. That same look in eyes from earlier still, biting his gorgeous soft lips. He leaned his face closer to yours and you feel his breath directly on your face.
“yeah but I think I deserve something other than a red card.”
“yeah and what’s tha-“ you were interrupted by his lips capturing yours, at first you were a bit surprised but eased into it more as it happened.
You both stood there, you in his arms, kissing. If you could you wouldn’t stop but at some point you both needed to breath. You felt as if you could melt by the way he looked at you.
“I had a picnic planned but I guess that’s out of question.” He chuckled, his face still inches from yours.
“It’s fine, this was way better. Picnics are a little too cheesy for me.” You laughed and he pecked you on the lips once more, your smiled couldn’t become any larger at this point. “Damn I could get used to that.” You sighed
“yeah?” He smirked
“Definitely.”
