Thank you, from the depths of my heart, for your kindness, compassion, and solidarity during this difficult time. ❤🍉

gavi hated this.
hated watching your matches through a screen. hated missing the moments that mattered. hated that you were miles away while he was stuck in barcelona, playing game after game without you in the stands.
he had tried to act normal. tried to focus on training, on his own matches, but it was impossible when his mind kept drifting back to you.
you were playing one of the biggest tournaments of your career, and he wasn’t there. instead, he was sitting in the team bus, watching the live stream on his phone with his airpods in, barely listening as his teammates talked around him.
pedri nudged him. ‘what’s the score?’
‘she won the first set. second set’s tied.’ gavi’s voice was tight, his grip on his phone firm.
his heart was racing. he could see the way you moved, the way you fought for every point. he knew that look on your face, the one that meant you weren’t giving up.
when the bus arrived at the hotel, gavi didn’t move. he just sat there, eyes locked on his screen.
ferran laughed. ‘bro, are you coming?’
‘go without me,’ gavi muttered, waving them off.
pedri sighed but didn’t argue. ‘don’t stay up all night, man. you have a game tomorrow.’
gavi didn’t even acknowledge him. he was too busy watching you chase down a drop shot, too busy whispering curses under his breath when you missed, too busy fist pumping when you won the next point.
then came match point.
he held his breath.
you tossed the ball into the air, racket swinging effortlessly, the sharp sound of the ball meeting strings filling the speakers. your opponent barely got a return in before you sent a forehand straight down the line, untouched.
game, set, match.
gavi exhaled loudly, running a hand through his hair as he watched you drop your racket, hands flying to your face in disbelief before pure joy took over. the crowd erupted, commentators shouting excitedly, but all gavi could focus on was you.
he needed to call you. now.
he stepped off the bus, walking toward the hotel entrance as he pulled up your contact. it barely rang twice before you picked up, breathless.
‘pablo!’
he grinned. ‘felicidades, mi amor. joder, you were incredible.’
you let out a shaky laugh, still overwhelmed. ‘you watched?’
‘of course i watched,’ he scoffed. ‘you think i’d miss that?’
‘you have a game tomorrow.’
‘i don’t care. i needed to see you win.’
there was a pause, your breathing still heavy from the match.
‘i wish you were here.’
his chest tightened. ‘me too.’
and he meant it. more than anything.
you sighed softly. ‘i’m flying back in two days.’
‘two days is too long.’
‘pablo.’
‘what if i come to you instead?’
you groaned. ‘you have training. a match. be serious.’
‘no quiero ser serio,’ he muttered. ‘quiero verte.’
you laughed, tired but full of love. ‘dos días, amor. i’ll be home soon.’
he sighed, kicking at the ground. ‘fine. but the second you land, i’m kidnapping you.’
‘deal.’
he smiled, finally making his way inside. two days. he just had to survive two more days.
gavi had never been this impatient in his life.
he was at the airport two hours early, pacing near the arrivals gate like a madman. pedri had made fun of him for it, called him dramatic, told him to just wait at home like a normal person, but gavi didn’t care. he had waited long enough.
his arms were crossed, jaw tight, sneakers tapping anxiously against the polished floor as he checked the flight tracker for what had to be the hundredth time. landed. you were here. finally.
his heart was pounding, fingers tapping against his thigh as he watched passengers filter through the doors. every time someone who vaguely resembled you walked out, he straightened up, only to sigh when it wasn’t you.
then he saw you.
hair slightly messy from the flight, suitcase dragging behind you, eyes scanning the crowd. and the second your gaze landed on him, everything else disappeared.
he didn’t think. he just moved.
one second, he was standing still. the next, he was pushing through people, reaching for you, grabbing your face and kissing you like he was scared you’d disappear again.
you barely had time to react before you melted into him, hands gripping his hoodie as he held you close, like he needed to feel every inch of you to believe you were really here.
when he finally pulled back, you were breathless, blinking up at him in surprise.
‘hola to you too,’ you teased.
he ignored you, pressing his forehead against yours. ‘you’re never leaving for that long again.’
you laughed softly, fingers brushing through his hair. ‘i can’t promise that, pablo.’
‘then i’ll come with you.’
‘you have a job, remember?’
he frowned. ‘it’s a stupid job.’
you grinned. ‘says the guy who loves football more than anything.’
‘not more than you,’ he muttered, arms still locked around you.
you sighed, shaking your head. ‘you’re impossible.’
‘you love it.’
you did. you really did.
he grabbed your suitcase, throwing an arm over your shoulder as he started leading you toward the exit.
‘come on, we’re going home. and i’m not letting you out of my sight for at least a week.’
you smiled, leaning into him. ‘fine by me.’
the drive back to his place was quiet, but it wasn’t awkward. it was the kind of comfortable silence that only came from knowing someone so deeply that words weren’t always necessary. gavi had one hand on the wheel, the other resting on your thigh, thumb brushing absently over your skin.
you watched him in the dim light of the car, his face focused, jaw tight like he was still processing the fact that you were finally here.
‘you okay?’ you asked softly.
he glanced at you, squeezing your leg before turning back to the road. ‘yeah. just… missed you.’
you smiled, threading your fingers through his. ‘i missed you too.’
he let out a small breath, like he had been holding it in for weeks.
‘you’re really not leaving for a while, right?’
you bit your lip. ‘well—’
his head snapped toward you so fast you thought he might give himself whiplash. ‘no. no way. you just got back.’
you laughed. ‘pablo, relax. i meant i have a few interviews and press stuff, but i don’t have to travel again for at least a month.’
he exhaled dramatically. ‘okay. that’s fine. i can work with a month.’
you rolled your eyes, leaning over to kiss his cheek. ‘you’re so dramatic.’
he just hummed, tightening his grip on your hand like he was scared you’d slip away.
when you finally reached his apartment, he barely gave you time to take off your shoes before he was pulling you onto the couch, dragging you into his lap.
‘pablo,’ you giggled. ‘let me breathe.’
‘no.’
you shook your head, running your fingers through his hair. ‘you’re like a clingy puppy.’
he just buried his face in your neck, mumbling something you couldn’t quite hear.
‘what was that?’
he sighed, voice muffled against your skin. ‘i hated not being there.’
you softened, tilting his chin up so he was looking at you. his eyes were darker than usual, serious.
‘you support me, pablo. even from miles away. i always feel you with me.’
he swallowed, looking down for a second before meeting your gaze again. ‘i wanted to be in the stands. wanted to run down to the court and pick you up when you won. wanted to kiss you in front of everyone so they knew you were mine.’
your heart ached.
‘pablo—’
‘i know your career is important. i’d never want you to give that up. but sometimes i wish things were easier. that i could just be with you all the time.’
you sighed, resting your forehead against his.
‘me too.’
his hands slid up your back, pressing you even closer. ‘promise me something?’
‘anything.’
‘next time you win a title, i’ll be there. no matter what.’
you smiled, pressing a kiss to his lips. ‘deal.’
he grinned against your mouth, flipping you onto your back so he could hover over you.
‘good. because i don’t plan on missing another match ever again.’
you laughed, pulling him down for another kiss.
home. finally.
sophia weber icons and fc bayern/lanadelrey lyric headers plzzzz love you!!!🤍🤍🤍
I've seen enough bring on Ferran Torres
MAMA MIA DIOS MIOS MADRE MIA 😍
Hey love!
I was wondering if you could write something for Max Verstappen with a super soft, quiet little girlfriend? She’s a chunky little thing, all round and cute, with blonde hair, and she’s just very… pink. Everything about her is soft and feminine—her clothes, her nails, even the way she speaks. She’s also a little dumb (in the most adorable way possible), always getting confused about things, and Max just finds it endearing. Maybe some fluff where he’s super protective over her because people underestimate her a lot? Thank you so much!
・❥・prompt list
・❥・motorsports masterlist
・❥・who I write for
・❥・a/n: this HAS to be my fav fic EVER. I love max sm yall don't understand. pls don't let it flop 🙏🏻🙏🏻
She was the total opposite of Max. Opposites attract, they say. Max, the serious, sarcastic Formula One champion, dating her; the short, blonde girl whose whole life was pink and ribbons.
But Max found everything about her so endearing.
The way she got confused over the smallest things, the random questions she asked out of nowhere, and mostly, the way she managed to be the most adorable person when he asked her to go to her first Grand Prix with him: to Japan.
“Well, everything is pink, and it’s all flowers and stuff there. I think you'll like it,” he said softly, his smile unwavering when she jumped up and down before climbing on him.
“Oh my god, yes! I have the perfect outfit for race day. Should I do my nails too? When are we going? Do I have time to pack?” she rambled, unable to hide her excitement, and also nervousness.
Max chuckled, putting his finger on her lips to stop her from talking.
“Don’t worry, schatje. I already booked your nail appointment. We’re leaving Tuesday morning, so you have plenty of time to pack,” he mumbled before brushing his lips over hers.
Max took his headphones off as his engineer finished telling him the new updates on the car. His eyes scanned the garage slowly until they found her.
She stood by the corner, carefully reading the schedule on the paper that was on the wall. The pink ribbon sat perfectly in her blonde hair, while her hands clutched her small bag tightly.
He smiled softly before quietly making his way to her. He sneaked his hands around her waist gently, which made her flinch for a second before relaxing in his arms.
“Maxie,” she mumbled, her eyes still fixed on the paper, her head tilting in confusion.
“Hey, baby,” his fingers brushed against her pink dress as he pressed a kiss to the top of her head.
“I’m confused,” she stated, turning to look up at him. “The schedule says you have media duty from ten till twelve. It’s eleven-thirty now. Are you breaking the rules?” she gasped softly, her voice lowering as if afraid someone might hear her.
Max chuckled, his heart melting at the pure confusion in her expression.
“No, darling. I finished early and had some stuff with the engineers,” he said, making her lips part as realization dawned on her.
“Let’s get you seated in the garage before qualifying,” he gently tugged her hand as he took her to the back of the garage where families and guests usually sat. He helped her up on the stool before handing her one of the big blue headphones.
“For me?” she asked, confused, making him hum.
“It can get loud, so you’ll need it,” he placed it on her neck before brushing her hair away from her face to admire her soft makeup that she always did—the one he always adored.
“But it doesn’t match my outfit,” she frowned, making him laugh with a shake of his head.
“Sweetheart, the sounds are pretty loud. You need it,” he insisted, making her frown deepen even more. He smiled before leaning down to kiss her pout away.
As soon as his lips touched hers, she quickly gasped and pulled away.
“Someone could see us,” she whispered, making him pout.
“Just one?” he asked, leaning in again. He kissed her softly, and she couldn't help but kiss him back.
When he pulled back, he hummed in satisfaction. She opened her eyes and giggled at the sight of him.
“What?” he asked, an amused smile on his lips.
“You’ve got some lip gloss on your lips,” she murmured, reaching over to wipe it off with her thumb.
“Do I look pretty?” he teased while she hummed.
“You always look pretty,” she whispered shyly, making him smile.
“Only because I have you by my side.”
“Hey, where's my girlfriend?” Max asked one of the mechanics, who he saw a while ago talking to her.
“They told her to go to your driver's room after quali. She was asking way too many questions,” he chuckled, expecting Max to laugh with him, except he didn’t. Max scoffed and crossed his arms over his chest.
“Yeah? So what? This is her first race and she's still new to everything here,” he said defensively, eyes narrowing as the mechanic started squirming nervously under his intense gaze.
“I-I didn’t mean-” Max interrupted by rolling his eyes.
“Whatever,” he mumbled, already walking away to his room.
He opened the door gently, peeking his head into the room slowly. He saw her sitting there, his plushie, which she had bought him, tucked under her chin while she scrolled through her phone silently.
“Hey baby,” he said softly, afraid to scare her away.
“Hi Maxie,” she mumbled, her voice a bit down and softer than usual, the usual bubbly and excited tone not evident.
His face twisted in anger, knowing that she was upset by something someone had told her.
“What did they say?” he asked calmly, but his fists clenched by his sides as he walked closer to her.
“Mhm, who?” she avoided looking into his eyes, still scrolling on her phone.
Max took the phone gently out of her hand to have her look at him. Her eyes were dull, the usual light in them faded out.
“What did they say?” he asked again, this time more gently.
“Nothing… they just said that I should come here because they can’t stand someone asking so many stupid questions,” she shrugged, but her teary eyes showed how much she was affected.
“Oh darling,” he murmured, pulling her into a hug as he sat next to her. He tucked her head under his chin, securing it by holding the back of her head. His other hand soothed her back, mumbling sweet nothings into her ear to help her calm down.
After a while, her body relaxed more and she let out a sigh into his neck.
“I’m sorry,” she mumbled, her arms tightening around his torso.
“Don’t be, schatje. They’re assholes who don’t deserve to listen to anything you say. If you have anything to ask, I’ll gladly answer you, even if it was the silliest question,” he said, pulling her head back to look at her.
“I love you,” he held her gaze, his fingers threading through her blonde strands as he spoke.
“I love you more, Maxie,” she said, her smile finally finding its way back to her face.
He held her more in his arms, watching some TikToks with her on her phone, ignoring the fact that he had already skipped two interviews.
She pulled away then, making him look at her, confused.
“So... what does DRS mean?” she asked sheepishly, making him chuckle.
“I’ll tell you everything. Just let me hold you some more, sweetheart.”

joão swore he almost had a heart attack the first time he saw them.
the tiny, angry red cuts littering your feet and ankles, some fading into soft pink scars, others fresh from your last competition. you had always told him ballet was tough, that it wasn’t just twirling around in pretty dresses, but nothing could have prepared him for this.
you were sitting on the couch, legs stretched over his lap, casually scrolling through your phone like nothing was wrong. meanwhile, he was staring at your feet like they had personally offended him.
‘what the hell is this?’ he blurted out, his fingers hovering over one particularly deep cut near your ankle.
you glanced at him, unfazed. ‘what’s what?’
‘this,’ he practically whined, gesturing wildly at your feet. ‘why do you look like you’ve been fighting for your life?’
you snorted. ‘joão, relax. they’re just cuts from my pointe shoes. they’ll heal.’
‘heal?’ he repeated, horrified. ‘how long have they been like this?’
you shrugged. ‘i don’t know. it happens all the time.’
his jaw dropped. ‘all the time?’
you sighed, putting your phone down. ‘it’s normal, babe. every ballerina deals with it. my feet just need time to recover between competitions.’
joão wasn’t hearing any of it.
‘this isn’t normal. this is self-destruction. why didn’t you tell me?’
‘because i knew you’d react like this.’
he scoffed. ‘of course i’m reacting like this! you’re literally injured and acting like it’s nothing.’
you groaned, throwing your head back against the couch. ‘joão, they’re fine. it’s not like i broke something. they’ll be healed in a few days.’
but he was already shaking his head, carefully lifting your foot to examine it closer.
‘you should’ve told me,’ he muttered, brows furrowed in concern.
‘what would you have done?’ you teased. ‘wrap me in bubble wrap?’
he didn’t answer, which told you exactly what you needed to know.
you laughed, cupping his cheek. ‘you’re ridiculous, you know that?’
‘you’re the ridiculous one,’ he shot back, still frowning at your feet. ‘how can you just ignore pain like this?’
‘because i have to. it comes with the sport.’
he sighed, rubbing a hand down his face.
‘so what, you just suffer in silence?’
you bit your lip. ‘i wouldn’t call it suffering. it’s just part of the process. like how you play with bruises or minor sprains sometimes.’
joão blinked, then scowled. ‘not the same thing.’
‘it’s literally the same thing.’
he huffed, still clearly displeased.
‘okay, but do you at least take care of them? like, properly?’
you hesitated for half a second, and that was all the answer he needed.
‘you don’t, do you?’ he accused.
‘joão—’
‘unbelievable.’
before you could stop him, he was already up, marching toward the bathroom.
you sighed, knowing exactly what was coming.
he returned moments later with a first-aid kit, a determined look on his face.
‘babe, really?’ you groaned.
‘yes, really. you clearly need someone to take care of you since you won’t do it yourself.’
you rolled your eyes but let him take your foot in his hands. he was surprisingly gentle, his fingers light as he dabbed at the cuts with antiseptic wipes.
he paused when you flinched, looking up at you with wide eyes.
‘does it hurt?’
‘not really.’
his glare told you he didn’t believe you, but he didn’t argue. instead, he carefully applied ointment to each cut, blowing softly on your skin like it would somehow make the sting go away.
you watched him work, your chest tightening.
‘you really don’t have to do this,’ you whispered.
he glanced up, his gaze softening. ‘i want to.’
you smiled, threading your fingers through his hair.
‘you’re a little dramatic, you know that?’
he snorted. ‘yeah? well, you’re a little reckless, so i guess we balance each other out.’
you laughed, letting him finish bandaging your feet.
when he was done, he pressed a kiss to each foot before meeting your gaze.
‘no more competitions for a while, right?’
‘not for a few weeks.’
‘good. because i’m making sure you actually rest this time.’
‘yes, doctor félix,’ you teased.
he smirked. ‘damn right.’
he pulled you into his lap, arms wrapping around you like he needed to keep you safe from the world.
you sighed, relaxing into him.
maybe having someone fuss over you wasn’t so bad after all.
but joão wasn’t done.
for the next two days, he treated you like you were made of glass. he wouldn’t let you walk barefoot around the apartment, claiming the floors were ‘too rough.’ he brought you socks, ice packs, pillows, anything he thought might help, even though you insisted you were fine.
‘joão, i can literally walk perfectly. i danced on these feet last week,’ you reminded him.
he scoffed, tossing you another pillow. ‘yeah, and look where that got you.’
‘oh my god.’
he followed you around, ready to catch you at the slightest sign of discomfort. if you so much as winced, he was at your side in seconds.
‘are you okay?’
‘joão, i stubbed my toe.’
‘that’s how it starts!’
you groaned, shoving his face away.
but as much as he annoyed you, you knew it came from love.
late at night, when you were curled up in bed, he would trace the scars on your ankles with gentle fingers, his touch barely there.
‘you work so hard,’ he murmured against your skin.
‘so do you.’
‘yeah, but i don’t bleed for it.’
you turned in his arms, brushing your lips over his.
‘this is what i love, joão, and i know you hate seeing me hurt, but it’s part of what makes me strong.’
he exhaled, pulling you even closer. ‘i just wish i could take the pain for you.’
you smiled, tucking your head under his chin.
‘you already do, in your own way.’
he kissed the top of your head, whispering, ‘always.’
and for the first time in a long time, you didn’t feel like you had to carry the weight alone.

kenan had been hyping himself up for this date all week. he’d picked out what he thought was his best outfit, practiced conversation topics in the mirror, and even watched a couple of rom coms for pointers.
but now, sitting across from you at a cozy little restaurant, his nerves were getting the best of him. he wanted to be smooth, charming, effortlessly cool, except he was pretty sure he was failing miserably.
the first slip up came when he tried to pour you a refill from the water pitcher. in his attempt to be casual, he misjudged the angle, and water sloshed over the rim of your glass, splashing onto the table.
‘oh—’ he grabbed a napkin, trying to mop it up quickly. ‘my bad. i, uh… i promise i don’t do this all the time.’
you smiled, amused. ‘so just on first dates, then?’
he groaned, but at least you were laughing. that was a good sign, right?
things smoothed out for a bit, and he actually started to relax. conversation was flowing, and you seemed to be having a good time. but then, as he was in the middle of telling a story, he gestured a little too enthusiastically, knocking his fork right off the table.
he paused, looking down at it on the floor, then back up at you. ‘you didn’t see that.’
you grinned. ‘oh, i definitely did.’
‘cool, cool, just checking.’ he picked up the fork, set it aside, and tried to play it off like it wasn’t a big deal.
by the time dessert arrived, he just sighed and leaned back. ‘okay, i think i just need to accept i’m gonna be at least a little awkward for the rest of the night.’
you tilted your head, considering. ‘i don’t know. i think it’s kind of endearing.’
kenan blinked. ‘wait. really?’
you shrugged, smiling. ‘yeah. it’s cute.’
for the first time all night, he was actually speechless. and, for once, it wasn’t because he’d just knocked something over.

trent was always the first to wake up. it didn’t matter if it was a matchday, an off day, or the rare chance to sleep in, his body was wired to rise with the sun. most mornings, he would slip out of bed quietly, careful not to wake you, and head downstairs to start his routine. but today, he stayed.
he turned onto his side, pressing his face into the crook of your neck, breathing you in. his arm draped over your waist, fingers brushing against the warm skin of your stomach where your shirt had ridden up. outside, the faint sounds of liverpool waking up drifted through the window, but inside, everything was still.
‘why’re you so close,’ you huffed out a laugh, barely opening your eyes as you reached back, fingers carding through his curls. ‘we’ve been together for years, trent. thought the novelty would’ve worn off by now.’
‘never.’ his voice was low, a little rough, and you shivered when he pressed a lazy kiss just beneath your jaw.
it would have been easy to stay in bed all day, wrapped up in the warmth of each other, but trent had training. you knew the exact moment he realized it too, his sigh was deep, reluctant, his grip tightening like he could somehow hold onto time if he held onto you tight enough.
‘you don’t have to go,’ you said, knowing he absolutely did.
‘don’t tempt me,’ he groaned, rolling onto his back and rubbing a hand over his face. ‘slott would kill me.’
‘probably,’ you admitted, stretching your legs before sitting up. ‘but imagine the headlines. “trent alexander-arnold skips training for a lie-in with partner.”’
‘bit long for a headline, that.’
‘fine. “trent’s in love.”’
his eyes softened as he looked at you, the corners of his lips tugging into a small smile. ‘always.’
you never got tired of watching him play.
there was something about the way he moved, the way he saw the game differently from everyone else. the way he took risks that no one else would, because he knew he could make them work.
tonight was a big game. liverpool vs. man city. the kind of fixture that made your stomach twist with nerves, even though you weren’t the one stepping onto the pitch.
you sat in the stands, surrounded by familiar faces, players’ families, friends, all of you bound together by the same tension. trent had looked good in warm-ups, sharp and focused, but you knew him well enough to sense the pressure sitting on his shoulders.
when the match started, city came out strong, pressing high, forcing liverpool deep. trent was everywhere, tracking back, winning duels, threading passes between the lines. then, in the 32nd minute, it happened.
the ball broke loose in midfield. trent took a touch, lifted his head, and saw the opening before anyone else did. a perfect switch across the pitch, straight to salah’s feet. in a flash, salah was inside the box, cutting onto his left foot and curling it past the keeper.
anfield erupted.
trent didn’t celebrate much. he never did unless it was something special. but his eyes found you in the stands, and when you blew him a kiss, he gave you a small, almost imperceptible nod.
the game wore on. city equalized, then took the lead, but liverpool kept fighting. in the 85th minute, a free kick was awarded just outside the box.
your heart pounded as trent stepped up.
he took a breath, then struck the ball cleanly. it curled over the wall, dipped at the last second, and nestled into the bottom corner.
he turned on his heel, arms outstretched, letting the roar of anfield wash over him.
and then, without thinking, he ran straight to you.
he didn’t even hesitate, just climbed over the barriers and reached for you, his hands on either side of your face as he kissed you, hard, ignoring the cameras and the cheers and everything else.
when he pulled away, breathless, he grinned. ‘told you i’d make the headline.’

warnings: portuguese and italian and the use of alcohol
the bartender slides you another shot of tequila across the marble countertop, and you catch it surprisingly easy.
the club is a kaleidoscope of green and pink, the flashing lights sending you into a drunken void.
“another one?” your boyfriend, joão, comes up from behind. his aftershave is overwhelmingly strong, which makes you even more nauseous.
“yes, another one,” you mock, taking a swig.
the liquid burns down your throat, the addictive wave of alcohol scorching into your head. your slumped over the bar, barely sitting upright and the stool is nothing but a flimsy cushion underneath you.
“y/n, i think you’ve had enough for tonight,” joão tries to snatch the drink, but you slide it away.
“i decide when i have enough,” you counter, almost falling backwards but joão’s swift enough to catch you on time.
“really?” he scoffs. “your gonna play this game with me? you know this isn’t healthy.”
with a second gulp of your drink, you slam the glass down onto the table to look up at your sober boyfriend who looks merely amused.
“your always acting like this,” you lazily mumble. “always lecturing me at… parties.”
you mimic him whilst swaying your hands in the air. “no y/n you can’t drink this, don’t do that. come over here, don’t go there.”
joão looks at you with an jovial expression—in the way your still able to form a sentence despite the amount of churning alcohol pitting in your stomach.
“now,” you fist the glass up to his face. “stop being so boring and have some!”
his grin falters, now unimpressed. “i’ll pass.”
“we’re in milan joão!” you lazily squeak, pulling him down by his half unbuttoned shirt, faces now inches apart. “you need to have some fun.”
he pinches his nose. “yeah and you need gum.”
your smile is carefree, joyful. you sling your arms around the nape of his neck, littering sloppy kisses over his tanned skin.
“awh aren’t you the sweetest?” you mistake his comment for a compliment. “i’m so lucky to have you bebê waby.”
joão purses his lips, rolling up his sleeves. “c’mon, enough. we’re going home right now.”
as he tries to lift you up, you vividly protest.
“ey antonio,” you call to the bartender, using the first name that comes to mind. “don’t make him take me away! we’re friends, right?”
the bartender solely spares you a glance, continuing to pour drinks like he’s heard this exact situation play out a hundred times before.
before you can resist further, you’re suddenly lifted off the ground, swung over joão’s shoulder like a misbehaving child.
“joão! put me down this instant, traidor,” you yell, kicking your legs.
joão, clearly, has more strength than you will ever possess, when he doesn’t even phase at the wriggling your doing to try and escape.
“joão! estou faland—serious,” you babble. “this.. não é justo.”
any words that spring to mind, you voice, even if it was a mix of both english and portuguese. you still somewhat have a smidge of conscious left, and you use it to snatch a fresh glass of vodka from a passing waiters tray.
joão catches on, glancing up at you. “y/n, where did you get that from—no!”
your mid-sip, when he forcefully slides it from your grasp and tosses it into a nearby waste bin.
“what’s wine ever done to you?” you slur, poking him in the chest as he finally sets you back down outside the club.
“for starters, that wasn’t wine,” he corrects. “and second of all, it stole my girlfriend from me.”
your eyes widen dramatically. “you have a… girlfriend? oh, so when did you meet her, huh?” you gasp. “you’re using me.”
joão runs a hand down his face. “no, amor, i don’t have another girlfriend.”
there was in fact, no other girl, but obviously you had way too many to drink than he anticipated.
“hmm,” you squint at him like you’re trying to read his mind.
visibly stressed, he runs his fingers through his hair as he pulls out his phone for a taxi. whereas, your too busy playing with the buttons on his shirt to notice.
“joão,” you spout, reaching up to squish his face between your hands. “you’re so… handsome.”
he sighs deeply, gently prying your hands off. “obrigado, amor. now let me find us a taxi, okay?”
but before he can even look up from his phone, you gasp dramatically. “wait. wait. where’s my bag?”
joão’s heart nearly stops. “what?”
you twirl around in circles, patting your sides. “i had a bag. where’s my bag? joão, my bag—”
“anjo, hey look at me,” he says, firmly locking your shoulders down. “you didn’t bring a bag.”
“oh.” you pause. “are you sure?”
“yes, i’m sure,” he groans, raking a hand down his face, almost on the brink of having heart palpitation. “we have more important things to worry about. like getting you home.”
as if the universe is mocking him, not a single car is in sight. the street is presumably quiet, as it is almost 3am and most people are already inside the club or stumbling off in different directions.
the portuguese looks around desperately, until spotting a driver leaning against the streetlamp.
“come on,” he tugs on your hand. “let’s see if he’s free.”
but you, in your drunken wisdom, come to a halt and dig your heels into the ground. “wait.”
joão groans. again. “wait for what y/n?”
you nervously grab onto his wrist with your spare hand, and whisper (noisily). “what if he’s part of the mafia?”
he stares at you, blinking so fast that he hopes you’d snap back into reality. the mafia?
your confident in your conspiracy, staring back with all of the faint seriousness you had left. not that you had much tonight, though.
“y/n,” he erupts flatly. “he’s a taxi driver.”
you hiss. “that’s what they want you to think.”
joão closes his eyes for a long moment, breathing in so deeply like he’s summoning for any patience that god can offer him. then, his nostrils flare determinedly, and without another word, he drags you along.
the driver looks up as you approach “sì?”
“uh.. possiamo eh,” he gestures vaguely. “possiamo.. prendere un taxi?” (can.. we get a taxi?)
“dove vuoi andare?” the driver now turns to face you fully. (where do you want to go?)
joão blanks. well shit. did he really expect a local in milan to be fluent in english? luckily, he briefly understood what he’d said but knowing how to form a response was a new challenge.
“uh.. to our hotel?”
“quale hotel?” the driver gives him a pointed look. (which hotel?)
joão’s mouth opens and closes. of course he knows the name of the hotel. but right now? right now, when you were clinging to his arm and sputtering some nonsense about ‘dangerous italian gangsters’(?). his brain was fried.
for you, this is nothing short of in awe. “awh baby you sound so smart right now.”
“y/n, please.” he feigns.
the driver sighs, patience thinning. “l'indirizzo?”(the address?)
he quickly fumbles for his phone, trying to pull up the hotels location. his hands are full because of your constant swaying against him, always looking to grab his attention.
“joãoo,” you pout, pressing your cheek against his chest. “why is your heartbeat so fast? is it normally this fast?”
“um, no,” he presses his lips into a thin line, still struggling to get the location. you continue to ramble about something else, but ignores you.
after a painful few seconds, he finally grabs the address, showing it to the driver.
the man squints at the screen, then exhales heavily, like he’s deeply regretting taking this job tonight. but he nods. “va bene. venite.” (okay. come)
you snort. “look at you, my multilingual king.”
he helps you into the backseat, making sure you don’t hit your head in the process, before sliding in next to you.
when the engine starts, your head hits his shoulder, he cuddles you closer, his arm around your waist like a crafted seatbelt.
after a few beats of silence, you grumble. “you still love me after all this right?”
joão ushers a breathy laugh, resting his chin atop your head. “more than anything mi vida.”
