tags!:: @barcapix @n0vazsq @httpsdana @paucubarsisimp
it was a cold day in kensington where you lived but you had to go to chelsea just for some errands. in the end you stumbled into a cute cafe on the edge of the road.
you donât expect to see him. not today, not like this.
one second, youâre just going about your day, lost in your own world, and the next, you hear his voice. not through a phone speaker. not filtered by distance. but real,right there.
your brain takes a second to process it. because itâs one thing to facetime someone every day, to hear their voice in your ear at night, to recognize the way they laugh, the way they tease, the way they say your name like it belongs to them.
but itâs another thing entirely to see them in person.
you stop in your tracks, heart hammering, eyes scanning the cafe like youâre hallucinating. but no, heâs right there, standing near the counter, scrolling absentmindedly through his phone, completely unaware that youâre staring at him like the world just tilted on its axis.
you should say something. you should.
instead, your phone buzzes.
joĂŁo: what are you doing right now?
your breath catches. you glance up at him again. itâs so weird, seeing him like this, taller than you imagined, the way he shifts his weight from one foot to the other, how his hoodie is slightly oversized like it always is in your calls.
he still hasnât noticed you.
nothing. why?
you watch as he reads it. he types for a second, then stops. then starts again.
joĂŁo: just wondering.
he lifts his head, eyes flicking up for just a second.
and thatâs when it happens.
his gaze meets yours.
for a moment, neither of you move. you donât breathe. he doesnât either.
then, slowly, like heâs making sure youâre real, he lowers his phone.
âno way,â he murmurs.
you let out a breathless laugh, lost for words
his lips part slightly, like he doesnât know whether to smile or freak out. âthis is..â he cuts himself off, shaking his head. âi was literally just texting you.â
you hold up your phone. âyeah. saw that.â
he laughs, rubbing a hand over his jaw. âokay, this is crazy.â
âa little bit.â
âlike, what are the odds?â
âapparently very low,â you say, eyes still wide. âyet here we are.â
he lets out a disbelieving chuckle, then tilts his head at you, something softer in his expression now. âso⊠do we acknowledge that this is probably fate?â
you pretend to think. âhmm. or just a very, very weird coincidence.â
he smirks. âso, fate.â
you roll your eyes, but youâre smiling.
he takes a small step closer, hesitates for half a second, then grins. âhi.â
and just like that, you realise, this? whatever this is? itâs real. and itâs happening.

Like real people do đŠč JoĂŁo FĂ©lix !
summary. spending a warm, raining night with joĂŁo was everything and anything you could ever ask for.
word count. 510+
disclaimers. fluff!! + kiss
authors note. for my pooks @joaoflms <3 and thank you anon loves youuu sorry this is lowk ass
The rain splattered softly against the window, creating a soothing rhythm that filled the apartmentâaside from the soft music coming from your record player. You were curled up on the couch, wrapped in a fuzzy blanket, staring at the storm that raged outside. JoĂŁo walked in from the kitchen, carrying two mugs of hot chocolate. His hair was still slightly damp from the rain heâd walked through earlier to get inside the apartment complex.
âLooks cozy in here,â he spoke, voice warm and soft as he handed you one of the mugs.
âThanks,â you murmur, taking it from him with a smile. Your fingers brushed, and you felt a light flutter in your chest, even though youâd been together for months now.
JoĂŁo had a way of making your heart race without even trying.
He eased onto the couch beside you, his body instantly radiating warmth. âMove over!â The brown haired man teases, nudging your knee gently.
Your eyebrow quirks, âthere is plenty of room.â Your protests were followed by a short laugh, but JoĂŁo only furrowed his eyebrows further.
âNot if I want to sit next to you,â JoĂŁo replied, already moving to lift your blanket so he could join in on the comfort it provided.
Shifting slightly to make room, he settled in beside you, draping his arm around your shoulders and pulling you into his side. The scent of rain mixed with your boyfriendâs cologne filled the small space, adding an extra sense of comfort for you.
âYou didnât get too cold out there, did you?â You ask while laying your head down onto his shoulder.
Dark brown eyes found yours and he spoke, a small smile gracing his lips, âNo. Not when I knew Iâd be coming in to this.â
Raising an eyebrow, your lip curls into a smirk. âTo this? You mean to hogging my blanket and personal space?â
He was quiet for a moment, eyes flickering across your features, his expression softening into something words couldnât quite capture.
âNo,â He starts slowly, âI mean, you.â Your breath catches in your throat as his words sunk in. He really did have a way with words, always has.
Regaining your composure, you hide your flustered state by quipping, âyouâre such a sap.â Lifting the warm mug to your lips, you take a sip of your hot cocoa, hiding your smile.
âOh, whatever! You love it.â He shot back, his grin playful despite how right heâand youâknew he was.
You couldnât even argue with that. Instead, you set your mug on the table beside you and rest your head on his shoulder once again.
âI do, I really do.â You admit softly, voice barely above a whisper.
JoĂŁo doesnât respond. He simply sets his mug beside yours, eases his index finger under your chin and lifts it. Your chest tightens as his head dips to yours, pressing a tender kiss to your lips.
He only pulls away for a short second so he could mumble a small, âI love youâ, before his lips were back on yours.
likes, comments, and reblogâs are all appreciated. lmk if youâd like to be tagged in future posts.

Hi, make one where the reader is obsessed with CubarsĂ's arms! (Maybe I have an obsession in his veins)
warnings:: none
writers notes:: lovely arms xx

ââââââââââââââââââââââ
you swear you donât mean to stare.
but god, his arms.
itâs criminal, really, how the sleeves of his shirt stretch just enough when he reaches up. how the veins in his forearms stand out when heâs holding his phone. or tying his boots. or breathing.
youâve become very aware of them lately.
to the point where itâs a problem.
especially because heâs your problem. your boyfriend. the one who always smells good and talks softly and has no idea what heâs doing to you when heâs just⊠existing.
except he does know.
because youâre not exactly subtle.
the other day, you were watching him fix something under the sink, shirt slightly pushed up, arm flexed, vein popping, and you actually dropped your phone.
you okay? he asked, barely holding back a grin.
yeah. fine. just gravity.
he nodded. then flexed again. happens to the best of us.
you glared. he smirked.
heâs been teasing you ever since.
âyouâre staring again,â he murmurs one night, lying beside you on the couch, arm draped behind your head.
you pretend to play dumb. âam not.â
âyouâre drooling.â
âshut up.â
he shifts slightly, just enough to make his forearm flex against your shoulder. your breath catches. he definitely feels it.
âyouâve got a thing for them, donât you?â he asks, voice low.
you try not to look. you fail.
âtheyâre distracting,â you mutter.
pau leans closer, smirk barely there, eyes soft but wicked.
âthen stop looking, cariño.â
you donât.
you never do.
and he doesnât mind one bit.
Hiii!! I need a bit of angst with Jude, something where he and the reader break up because he expects her to put his career first. But she also wants to have a solid career, make a name for herself, and be someone in her own right. He wants her to be like the other footballers' wives, but she isnât that kind of person, she doesnât have that availability, nor would she give up everything she worked for to live that way. This ends up hurting him, and he canât understand why she wouldnât do that for him. You can end it however you want, I honestly canât imagine a proper ending.
Your writing is incredible, you manage to turn everything into something amazing. đ«¶đŒ
summary:: youâre judeâs girlfriend and want to pursue a career of your own but heâs holding you back.
warnings:: angst, no happy ending / no ending? (you guys can make up the ending or i can make a part 2 idk?)
writers note:: this is one of the fics where i finished writing and i verbally had to say âoh.â yeah jude is a cunt in this! and thank u for the lovely message at the bottom i love you all sm! đ€

you stood in the middle of the living room, arms crossed tightly over your chest, your heart pounding so hard it almost drowned out judeâs voice. almost.
âso thatâs it then?â he scoffed, running a frustrated hand through his curls. âyouâre choosing your job over me?â
your jaw clenched. âno, jude. iâm choosing myself.â
his face twisted, like he couldnât understand why those two things werenât the same. like he couldnât fathom a world where you wouldnât mold yourself around his life, his schedule, his needs.
âevery other footballerâs girlfriendââ
âdonât.â your voice was sharp, cutting through the thick air between you. âiâm not them. i never was.â
he let out a bitter laugh, shaking his head. âright. youâre not. because they support their boyfriends, theyâre there for them.â
âyou think i donât support you?â you snapped, the hurt lacing your voice making him falter for just a second. âjude, i have given you everything. my time, my patience, my love. but i wonât give up my dreams for you.â
his jaw tightened, frustration rolling off him in waves. âbut why not? why canât you justââ
âbecause iâve worked too damn hard for this!â you cut him off, voice shaking. âdo you know how much iâve sacrificed to get where i am? how many nights i spent studying, how many hours i put in to prove i belong in my field? and you want me to just throw that away so i can follow you around, be at your beck and call?â
he exhaled harshly, looking away as if that would make your words hurt less.
âitâs not like that,â he muttered, but even he didnât sound convinced.
you swallowed the lump in your throat, blinking away the sting behind your eyes. âit is, jude. you want me to be someone iâm not. and thatâs not fair.â
silence stretched between you, heavy and suffocating. his hands curled into fists at his sides, his lips pressed into a thin line. you could see the hurt in his eyes, the frustration, the love, because there was still love. that was the worst part.
but love wasnât always enough.
you took a deep breath, forcing yourself to steady your voice. âi love you. but i wonât lose myself for you.â
his shoulders dropped, and for the first time, you saw the truth settle in his eyes. that this was it. that he was losing you.
and yet, he didnât stop you when you turned around, grabbed your bag, and walked out the door.
maybe he finally understood.
or maybe he just didnât know how to fight for you without asking you to lose yourself in the process.

Hey can you do one for Alejandro Balde where he's childhood best friends with reader. Some angst where other girls seem to come into the picture with his fame but he finds out how Y/N feels and reassures her!
alejandro balde x childhood bsf!fem!reader
sy: you become painfully overwhelmed by how your childhood bsf becomes swarmed and smitten with his own fangirls, as you become increasingly scared to admit your love.
a/n: this has terribly been in my drafts since oct and im actually ashamed for leaving it so long. i hope this makes up for it though <3
warnings: not really tbf.
the sky hung low with a suffocating greyness, and the wind nipped at your skin as you lingered on the outskirts of the pitch.
heâd asked you to be here.
you bounced on the heels of your feet, your fingers nervously etching across the leather purse in your grasp, scratching at the silk. you felt out of place, like you didnât belong here, but then againâhe asked you to be here.
the laughter reached you first, light and airy, floating across the pitch like the first taunt of a fight you couldnât win.
there he was. alejandroâswirled up in the centre of a foreign crowd. instead, lavishing with women in head to toe with glam. their eyes sparkled with admiration, their voices like birdsongs when they exclaimed out his name.
that smile; the same one you knew like the back of your hand.
but him? he only basked in it. basked in the attention that he received, oblivious to the way it shredded you, piece by pieceâleaving raw edges where your heart used to be whole.
the boy who once made pinky promises in the glow of streetlights, who used to scold you for crying over scraped knees and share his dreams with the kind of quiet fervor that only children possessâhe felt so far away now.
fame clung to him like a second skin, and you werenât sure youâd ever be able to peel it back and find the alejandro you knew.
âthis is so stupid,â you curse yourself silently, your eyes magnate down to your shoes. let this be the last time you let yourself be humiliated.
you fumble with the watch on your wrist, clocking down the minutes that had you foolishly stood here, waiting. twenty-nine minutes.
it was pointless in waiting here still; you werenât going to watch the clock tick to thirty as your self respect was slipping.
âhey,â balde called out, jogging to catch up to you, âyour leaving so soon?â
when you didnât turn around, he stopped you in your tracks by kneading his hand into your shoulder blade to prevent you from moving.
âalright party pooper, whatâs with the rush? do you not wanna talk to me tonight or something?â he laughed, that same, familiar sense of humour creeping through in every worse moment.
with his help, you spun round, and instantly locked with his eyes. âwhatâs with the pout chica? im here, now, talk to me.â
âwhatâs there to talk about ale?â you inquire, brushing his hand from your shoulder. âyou asked me to be here.â
âand you came,â alejandro pointed out with a grin, as if that alone made it better. âso i was thinking, if you wanted to stop by tonight.â
the way he said it, like he hadnât just spent the last half hour entertaining other women whilst you stood around like an idiot.
you wanted to say yes. you wanted to just forget the hurt and walk away with him. but after tonight, after feeling like an insignificant background character, you didnât have the strength to go.
âiâm just not feeling it today,â you whispered, avoiding eye contact. âsorry.â
âcâmon,â giving you playful jabs to your arm, âwhatâs the gloom? when do you ever reject me?â
there was a pause of silence. before you sighed, locking your hands behind your back. âitâs nothing.â
his grin faltered, his eyes examining your body language. ânada, no, seeânow i know your lying.â
âjust let it go ale.â you said, stepping back.
his teasing dropped almost instantly. âyour upset? mad? definitely not happy,â he muttered the final words under his breath. ânervous?â
you grumble, crossing your arms. âseriously?â
he tilted his head slightly, examining your face carefully. âare you on your perioâ?â
âno balde!â you finally snapped, which made his head instantly recoil back up. you couldnât keep the anger from breaking through, even if you tried. âare you not aware of what youâve just done?â
his expression stays blank, and if anything, he looks more shocked at your outburst than he does concerned. and that, more than anything, made the fire in you burn hotter.
âso your gonna stand there, mute, and act oblivious?!â you eventually screech, having no regard for who was listening. âas you always do i expect.â
âquĂ© i donâtââ
âno you never do. do you ale?â you spit, as he pushes you into a more secluded area underneath the tunnel; away from prying eyes.
âlook,â he sighs softly, âcan you explain it to me rather than screaming in my face?â
âyou dont deserve my explanation,â you mutter, feeling the sting of tears at the brim of your eyes.
your throat burned, the fury dissolving, leaving only a raw, aching pain in its wake. if you didnât leave now, it would only make you cry, and you couldnât let that happen.
not after defending yourself so promptly.
you turned away again, ready to walk off before you lost whatever shred of dignity you had left. but ale was too quick, wrapping his hand around you wrist before you had the chance.
âwhy do you keep pushing me away?â aleâs voice dropped an octave low, almost shameful. âim just trying to help you.â
with a slow twist back around, you met his gaze with an expression he could quite decipher.
the conflict of hurt and frustration clear in your eyes made his grip tighten, feeling the desperation in his fingers.
âmaybe i donât need your help!â you exclaim, the contradicting nature between his words and actions making your eyes burn. ânot now.â
âwhat do you mean not now?â
âisnât it clear?â you shake your head, âcan you really not see it⊠how i truly feel?â
âhow you feel? no i didnât even recogââ
you scoffed, pulling your wrist away. âexactly.â
balde exhaled through his nose, raking his fingers through his hair. âwhatâs this about huh? you could of just told me you didnât wanna come over y/n.â
âits not that,â you huff, staring at your shoes.
âthen what is it?â alejandro crouches slightly to look at your face, bringing his thumb under your chin.
when you didnât reply to him, he carried on.
âplease, whatever it is, i would rather us talk it out than you hating me for something iâve done.â and this time, his tone carried sincerity.
not like before, where it was all light and jovial, like he thought everything was just a joke. but instead, something that said he truly cared.
biting the inside of your cheek, you tried to keep your composure. âyou spent thirty minutes surrounded by them..â
the guilt in his eyes were immediate; the footballers shoulders dropped in regret.
â..and i stood there like a fool, waiting for you.â
you shuffled your feet against the concrete, finally bringing up the courage to look him in the eyes. âi didnât have to come.â
âi know,â he repliedâweak.
the words echoed in the tranquil air, closing in on you both as neither of you had the fight to say anything.
âi messed up,â he finally admitted, swallowing the lump in his throat. âi shouldâve been with you. i shouldâve seen you standing there.â
almost as a reflex, you squeezed your eyes shut in hopes to savour this moment if it wasnât real. you wanted to trust that it was real.
âhey, im being serious y/n. for the first time ever.â
your lips parted in protest, your heart racing at the proximity as he pressed his forehead against yours.
the closeness, the way his breath fanned over your skinâit was everything youâd spent years yearning for, but never daring to confront.
âtrust me when i say this,â he pulled back, brushing a stray hair from your face, âi donât want anybody else.â
you gulped thickly, his words playing strings with your heart. why did he wait for so long to say it?
âyou say that now,â you whisper, defeated. âbut what about tomorrow? or even weeks from now, when your surrounded by them?â
his brows furrowed, eyes dark with something unreadable. then, as if making a decision right then and there, he took your hands in his.
âthere wonât be a next time,â he promised, his thumbs tracing soft circles over your skin. âi donât care about them, nor the attention, the cameras, the noiseâit all means nothing without you.â
the words hit you harder than you expected, knocking the air from your lungs.
âi love you, nena. not them. not this life. you.â
your lips trembled, he was already pulling you in, pressing a lingering kiss against your forehead.
âi know i donât deserve an answer right now,â he murmured against your skin. âbut let me prove it to you, okay?â
a shuddered breath left you, your fingers gripping the front of his jacket as if letting go would mean losing him again.
âÂżme dejarĂĄs?â (will you let me?)
you didnât know what the future would hold, but for now, in this moment, you needed to let go of the fear. to let yourself trust him, fully.
âyeah,â you nodded, falling into the urge to rest your chin on his shoulderâyour resolve finally melting.
balde chuckled, relaxedly. âthat means you forgive me right?â
âi donât know, your on a test for the rest of this week.â you hummed mockingly, although really, it wasnât too bad of an idea.
alejandro shook his head disbelievingly, but deep down, he was just relieved that he had his best friend back, or even after thisâsomething more than just friends.
the scrape on your knee had been healed, the wounds of the past, and he was the one who healed it.
Please make on with kenan and how he has a model gf and gets jealous when fans ship her and her co-workers saying they have more chemistry then her and kenan and likes heâs jealous when reader tells him âI have a kelvin clain shoot with __â and heâs just angry and jealous and then you can do the rest
summary:: youâre a famous model dating kenan yildiz but he gets jealous when youâre set to model with a guy that people have been shipping you with on the internet.
warnings:: self doubt, idfk atp
writers note:: okay so i wanna get as much done before school starts as possible but still please feel free to continue requesting bc i read all of them as soon as i get them and i love them smmmm! ALSO NOTE TO MENTION THAT THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE PUBLISHED LIKE 4 HOYRS AGO??
tags:: @barcapix @n0vazsq @httpsdana @paucubarsisimp ; lmk if u wanna be added or removed!
kenan never considered himself the jealous type. he trusted you, knew you loved him, and never doubted it, until the internet started saying otherwise.
it started small, fans commenting under your instagram posts, comparing you and your co stars, the models you worked with. âthey have so much chemistry,â theyâd say. âtheyâd make such a perfect couple.â
at first, he ignored it. he knew the industry, knew how people talked. but then, the edits started popping up. tiktok after tiktok of you laughing with another model, posing together, staged moments turned into something more by eager fans. âthis is what real chemistry looks like,â someone commented under one. âway better than her and kenan.â
he never let it show. never mentioned it. but the frustration built up, simmering just beneath the surface.
and then, one night, you were lying in bed beside him, scrolling through your emails, when you spoke, casual, unaware of the storm brewing inside him.
âi have a calvin klein shoot with gabriel next week.â
he stiffened. âwho?â
you glanced at him, confused by his tone. âgabriel, why?â
he scoffed, shaking his head. âof course itâs him.â
you frowned. âkenan, whatâs wrong?â
he turned to you, jaw tight. âdo you even see what people say about you two? or do you just ignore it?â
your brows furrowed. âkenan, itâs just work.â
he laughed, but there was no humor in it. âyeah? because the internet seems to think you two should be together instead of us.â
you sighed, placing your phone down. âkenan, you know thatâs not true.â
but he just looked away, arms crossed, jealousy burning in his chest.
you reach for his arm, fingers curling around his bicep gently, but he doesnât relax. his jaw is still clenched, gaze fixed on a point far away, lost in his thoughts.
'kenan,' you murmur, shifting closer to him, your thigh brushing against his under the covers. 'look at me.'
he hesitates before finally meeting your eyes, and the frustration there twists something in your chest. he looks vulnerable beneath the anger, and that vulnerability makes your heart ache.
'i donât care what they say,' you say softly, your fingers tracing slow circles on his arm. 'they donât know us. they see a picture, a video, and think they understand. but they donât.'
he exhales sharply, running a hand through his hair. 'yeah, but itâs everywhere. i open my phone and itâs just⊠him. you. people saying you should be with him instead of me. like iâm some... placeholder.'
'your brain is lying to you,' you reply, a small smile tugging at your lips. 'youâre not a placeholder. youâre it for me, kenan.'
he shakes his head, still not fully convinced, and you sigh, leaning forward to press a kiss to his cheek. 'you know how many people tell me iâm lucky to be with you? how many girls would kill to be in my place?' you pause, lips brushing against his jaw. 'but i donât care about them. i care about you. about us.'
he softens a bit, his hand finally coming to rest on your thigh. 'itâs just... hard not to get in my head about it.'
'i know,' you whisper. 'but next week? when iâm at that shoot? iâll be thinking about how i get to come home to you. how no camera or photoshoot can compare to this.' you gesture between you two. 'this is real. everything else is just noise.'
his lips quirk up at the corners, and you can see the tension easing from his shoulders. 'you really have a way of shutting me up, huh?'
'one of my many talents,' you tease, grinning when he finally laughs.
he pulls you into his arms then, burying his face in your neck. 'i just hate the idea of anyone thinking they could be better for you.'
'nobody is,' you promise, threading your fingers through his hair. 'nobody even comes close.'
he hums, pressing a kiss to your collarbone. 'just... promise me you wonât fall for him when he starts flexing or whatever during that shoot.'
you snort, smacking his shoulder playfully. 'please. you really think anyone else can compete with you? have you looked in a mirror, kenan? unfair levels of handsome.'
'youâre biased,' he mumbles, though his tone is lighter now, more playful.
'yeah,' you agree, 'biased because iâm in love with you.'
he pulls back just enough to look at you, eyes searching yours. 'yeah?'
'yeah,' you nod. 'so no more jealousy, okay? or at least... less of it. youâre too pretty to be frowning this much.'
he grins, finally fully relaxing. 'fine. but iâm picking you up from that shoot. just to make sure this guy knows youâre taken.'
'love when you get all possessive,' you tease, leaning in to kiss him softly. 'but seriously, you have nothing to worry about.'
'guess i just really like you or something,' he murmurs against your lips.
'good,' you smile, 'because i really like you too. even when youâre being a jealous dork.'
he laughs again, pulling you tighter against him. 'just donât make me fight a model, okay? i canât have that on my record.'
'no promises,' you joke, kissing him once more as the tension between you finally melts away.
