BEAUTIFUL. CANT WAIT !!!

kitten whiskers (katie mccabe x reader)

based on this request

“teddie.” you warn, watching your son raise his hand towards katie’s niece daisy.

katie lifts teddie off the floor and places your son in her lap, looking at him with a stern look in her eyes. “you need to be careful teddie. we don’t hit people do we?” katie asks, trying to be stern but without upsetting the boy.

teddie looks over at you then down at daisy “sorry daisy.” he mumbles glumly before slipping off katie’s lap, running into your arms. you capture teddie into a tight cuddle as he watches daisy play with the toys he wanted all for him self. the three year old then looks at you “can we get a lion?”

you, vanessa and katie all chuckle. “i don’t think so my little buddy, our house isn’t big enough for a lion, we already have a cat and a lion might scare poppy.” you say, whispering the ending as you point to the new baby in the bassinet. teddie looks over at his new little sister with love in his eyes.

“we could get another cat.” katie suggests.

you turn to your girlfriend and shake your head “no, katie we don’t have space or the time to tend to a kitten. we’ve got a three year old and a new born baby and we already have a cat. no more kt. i mean it.” you tell katie before vanessa impersonates the whipping of a chain, receiving a nudge from her sister.

that evening after you had put poppy to bed you caught teddie laying down with his toy lion, stuck in an imaginative world of his own. katie was knelt on the floor beside him with an elephant, carrying on his game. you lean against the door watching the pair for a few minutes. “right, monkey chops. it’s time for bed.”

you walk over, placing your hands on katie’s shoulders as she says goodnight to teddie. the little boy them looks up at you after “i love you mummy.”

“i love you too, see you in the morning.” you whisper before exiting the room with katie. as soon as you and katie were out the door she takes ahold of your hand and rushes down the stairs. the irish woman pushes you against the kitchen counter locking lips with one another instantly.

you were not five moments into your first encounter of intimacy since poppy was born when her heartaching baby cry echos through the house. you pull away from katie with a sigh, the pair of you listen to her cry for a second hoping she’d settle back down, but then teddie was calling for you to stop the baby crying.

“i did the 2am feed, and every one since then so it’s your turn.” you tell katie, passing her poppy’s comforter which was left on the side.

katie raises her eyebrows, squeezing your hips as she runs up to poppy’s bedroom. you can hear her talking to poppy through the monitor. “you’re the prettiest girl in my eyes my little poppy dylan-grace mccabe. and we will definitely definitely get another cat for you and teddie. one that looks like a lion just like your big brother wants, mummy promises.”

an hour or two had passed and katie still hadn’t come down from poppy’s room. you go up to find your girlfriend asleep on your bed next to poppy’s moses basket, sound asleep with the baby in her arms. you smile at the pair, gently taking poppy from your sleeping love and put her back into her basket.

“you’re my favourite person katie mccabe.” you whisper, pulling your duvet over katie.

a week later

you were busy making teddie some dinner when katie wraps her arms around you and peppers kisses down your neck whilst teddie watches the lion king for the tenth time this morning.

“the big 3-0 tomorrow hey?” she smirks, you drop the oven gloves and spin around with a frown.

“katie i’ll be 26! what do you mean the big 3-0?” your girlfriend laughs hysterically, you finally realise she’s pulling your leg, teasing you.

“you’ll love your present!” katie screeches, before making a purring sound.

you frown looking at katie “what was that?”

“nothing kitten whiskers” katie hums, taking teddie his dinner. you stay in the kitchen feeding poppy when you begin to hear slight whispers from teddie and katie.

your birthday comes around quickly and you’re awoken to banging around from in your living room, an excited teddy and lots of strange noises that seem to come from an animal. you slip out of bed and go down the stairs where you noticed cat litter trailed into the living room.

“katie? have you let teddie near the litter tray again?”

“y/n!” katie exclaims, rushing to the living room door. the irish women leans against the frame, a strange smile on her face. something seemed shifty.

“what are you up to katie mccabe?” you ask through narrow eyes.

“nothing birthday girl, go have a bath. relax. treat yourself!” katie tells you before you hear teddie screaming in disgust, she looks into the living room and then back out to you, a fake smile on her lips.

meow.

the noise was still coming from your living room, so katie had lied. you turned to your girlfriend crossing your arms shaking your head.

“what is that katie, the truth this time!”

before katie to answer teddie came past a little something in his hands, holding it up for you to see. you gasp, looking at teddie then at katie.

“you didn’t!”

teddie looks at you and your angry expression, giggling menacingly. “happy birthday mummy! we got a kitten.”

you smile at teddie, taking the kitten into your hands. you couldn’t help but fall in love with the little bundle of joy in your hands. the tabby fur baby purred as she got comfortable and safe in your hands.

“happy birthday my girl.” katie smiles, watching you and your new pet.

teddie runs upstairs to find your other cat.

katie steps towards you putting the kitten back on the pen she had made for her. “what are you calling her?”

“margo.” you reply, stepping into katie’s arms.

“thank you for this baby. she’s a bundle of joy just like teddie and poppy.” you whisper.

“it was teddie’s idea. i know you were against the idea but to make our boy happy is my main goal, and i knew you would fall in love instantly. now come and give me a kiss.” katie whispers, placing her lips on your own, you get lost in your own world before you suddenly get a whiff of something.

“katie there’s shit on the floor. cat shit.”

“better than poppy’s” she shrugs, with a small chuckle.

you lift poppy up, sitting beside the pen with margot you enjoy the company of the pair of them whilst you watch katie try not to projectile vomit as she picked up the cat poo.

“remind me to listen to you next time. i didn’t want to do this, and i know you’ll make me do it everyday now.” the irish woman groans.

“mccabe to be is always right!”

11th may 2023

you and leah were up early today, it was her surgery day, a day you had been waiting for for what felt like forever. the blonde was sat at your kitchen table slowly munching on her toast. you tiptoe over to leah and place a gently kiss on her forehead.

“i’m sorry i can’t come with you today baby.” you whisper.

leah takes ahold of your hand that was resting on her shoulder. she leans back into your chest “it’s okay, alex is going to be there and you’ll be the first smiling face i see when i walk through the door.”

you sigh with a small nod “promise to send me some photos of you?”

“i promise.” she whispers, leah raises from her seat and places a soft kiss on your lips.

soon leah has left for her surgery and you’re left worrying about her during your meetings today.

soon you had finished and two familiar voices were heard outside your door, it was leah and alex. you heard them say goodbye to one another before leah hobbles into your house with crutches.

you plunge towards her giving her the worlds biggest hug. “i’m fine!” she laughs, kissing your head.

you gently take leah to the sofa, resting her leg on your coffee table. “baby.” leah groans feeling helpless and hates the idea of you doing everything for her.

“just stay there, i’ll be back.” you run into the bedroom collecting the essentials you needed to keep leah comfy.

you return to the living room covering leah in a fluffy blanket and all your favourite cushions to keep her back from aching. you covered the table around her feet with snacks and lit all the candles around the room.

you snuggle up beside leah and the pair of you fall asleep watching your favourite films.

ALSJSJOSNSBAHH TOO CUTE OMG

Tattoos - Alessia Russo

P.s. I don’t know Italian :)

The feeling of a soft hand tracing the tattoos on your back wakes you up. You lay there for a while, enjoying the feeling of your girlfriend’s hands caressing your back.

You had always loved physical affection, physical touch was needed no matter who you were with. The amount of touch would vary depending on the person though, you were aware of how other people might not be as comfortable with touch as you were.

With your family, you limited your affection to fist bumps and an arm over their shoulders, they had never been the most affectionate people. Leaving you desperately finding comfort in your friends. With your friends, you’d give the long hugs and forehead kisses, always holding on longer if you felt that the other person needed the hug just as much as you did.

With Lessi, your touch was never limited, it ranged from simply holding hands to cuddling in bed with nothing but the thin sheets between you. You could never get enough of her, every time you’d set eyes on your girl, you’d go over to her, hugging her tightly and pecking her lips. If you were just quickly passing by, you would brush your hand against hers, sending her a loving smile over your shoulder and blowing her kiss.

You didn’t believe you could even a single day without being physically affectionate with your girlfriend at least once. That was the reason you had signed to Manchester United, you had originally been playing at Chelsea and you loved it there but they couldn’t offer you what Manchester United could. A home with your girlfriend you’d go to together everyday and constant playing time. You dedicate a lot of time to perfecting your skills, making sure you never missed out on call ups, you worried you would wilt away without Alessia by your side for an entire camp.

But in this moment, in bed next to Lessi, you couldn’t be happier. Your mind was clear and free of any worries, she knew what you needed from her and you knew what she needed from you, your friends would say you’re annoyingly perfect for each other. Teasing you with no end in sight. Letting out a soft sigh, you pry your eyes open to look at the clock on your bedside table. The bright red numbers flashing ‘3AM’ at your still adjusting eyes, making them water slightly.

You turn your head with furrowed eyebrows, looking up at the woman hovering above you in dazed confusion. “Why are you awake love?” You mumble against the pillow, too tired to speak any louder. Her eyes travelled from your back to your eyes, a cute, loving smile etched onto her lips as she admired your sleepy look.

“I was too hot so I went to open a window, I got distracted by your tattoos when I got back in bed.” She explains, you hum softly in acknowledgement, your eyes closing once again as she once again starts tracing your tattoos, her hand trailing up to affectionately squeeze the back of your neck every now and again.

“What do the tattoos mean?” She whispers against the side of your head as she leans down to press a kiss to your temple with a delicate touch.

You groan, pressing your face further into the pillow, hoping Alessia would get tired soon. “They mean I look good naked” you send her a tired wink, her face flushing a deep red as she slaps your shoulder in fake annoyance at your reply. “Please my girl, go back to sleep, it’s too early.”

Alessia didn’t want to take that as an answer, too stubborn and too awake to not here the stories. With that in mind, she throws her leg over your back, straddling you, making sure she was sat so that she could still see every tattoo covering your back. You should’ve known she wouldn’t just go back to sleep, actually you did know, you were just too tired to care.

Leaning down and pressing soft, delicate kisses to the back of your neck, knowing your sensitive there and it will keep you awake long enough for her to beg for the meaning of the tattoos. “Please, I promise I’ll go to sleep as soon as you explain them all.” Her kisses now trailing along your shoulders and top of your spine. You sigh and nod, wondering if you’ll regret agreeing to it in the morning when you need to down 5 coffees just to make it through training.

One by one, she would tap a part of your back, and you would know instantly which tattoo it is. You explained each of them in detail as Alessia traced them with the pad of her middle finger, listening closely to everything you say (more like mumble). Once you finished explaining, she’d press a kiss to the tattoo and move onto the next one, a smile gracing your face at her attentiveness.

Each of your tattoos had a lot of meaning to you, whether it was something for your family or just something you loved. They all held a special place in your heart, etched on your skin for you to never forget. You thought you’d regret staying up for this, but you had always loved telling stories about the art on your skin, you loved the way Alessia took it all in, never getting bored with a single one of your explanations even if you did ramble on and on about a few of them. She made you feel seen, made you feel loved, there was nothing more you could ever want.

It took a while but you had finally ran out of tattoos for her to ask about. You heard her happy sigh and could almost feel the satisfied smile she had on her face. She leaned down, finally ready to go back to sleep. But she stopped, she had spotted a tattoo right behind your ear she didn’t know was there.

Rubbing her nose cutely against the back of your ear she whispered “what’s that one? I haven’t seen it before.”

You smiled to yourself, that was your favourite tattoo, your love for that one outweighed the love you had for the rest of them. “That one’s my favourite, it’s Roman numerals. 215. Your legacy number.”

She presses a kiss to the corner of your lips, lingering there as she speaks her love for you. “ I love it. I love you mia bella.”

With Alessia now ready to go back to sleep, she rolls off of your back and cuddles into your side. The clock reading 4:30AM when you both finally fall asleep.

—————————

Mia bella - my beauty

(Let me know if it’s wrong and I’ll change it)

Leah imagine p.1

I can just imagine Leah saying no to you getting a dog. You manage to convince her by saying you’ll take care of it, walk it, feet it etc… Then when she finally gets you a dog she’s still not 100% sure about the idea of having a dog as you’re both professional footballers who travel a lot. But about a week or so with having a dog you come home to find them both on the sofa sound asleep.

(also sorry for not uploading in a while i’ve been so busy and not had time to write anything but hopefully soon 🩶)

adorable

anxious baby (alessia russo x reader)

word count : 639

request is here!

your pretty starry eyed girlfriend lays beside you you awaiting for you to wake up from your disturbed sleep. last night your anxiety hit horrifically, you couldn’t sleep. you couldn’t move, couldn’t think, you just laid there desperately trying to occupy your mind but you couldn’t. you were shaking uncontrollably and tossing and turning not being able to find comfort in your own bed until it had awoken alessia from her own sleep.

“hey, pretty girl. y/n, look at me baby.” she whispers taking a hold of one of your hands whilst fiddling with the tv with the other. you turn to alessia who had found the calming sounds video that keeps you sane during your rough days.

alessia holds your cheeks gently stroking them with the pads of her thumb “listen to the ocean and focus on me. everything will be okay i promise.” she continues to use that calming tone from before, you sink into alessia’s touch as the crashing of waves calms all of your stress and senses. you lay your head on alessia’s shoulder still silently listening to the music until your eyes get heavy and you drift off to sleep. your blonde superstar gently lays your head on your pillow before settling herself back down to sleep.

there was a sudden small amount of hammering from your doorway, you sit up to see an italian blonde pile on the floor. alessia looks up at you with a small smile, she jumps up and launches onto the bed. “good morning pretty girl.” she whispers, snuggling into your chest.

“good morning babygirl.” you whisper groggily, rubbing your sleepy eyes.

alessia sits up, pulling you with her. the blonde gently plaits your hair, softly placing a layer of kisses across your shoulder.

“are you feeling any better this morning?” alessia asks, rubbing her knee that was turning yellow from the bruise she had just inflicted onto herself.

you let out a small tut, avoiding her questions as you plod down to the kitchen grabbing an ice pack that you had bought especially for lessi and her dopiness. you come back to the bedroom laying the ice pack on her knee to bring the bruising out quicker.

“you look after me, i look after you.” you tell her, brining her into a soft kiss.

at training

“so rock climbing this weekend yeah?” ella asks everyone, waltzing around the changing room.

everyone sat their nodding and squealing in excitement whilst you stay huddled in the corner of the room, hugging your knees. you could feel your heart beating through your hands, your head, your chest and stomach. the room began to spin and before you knew it you were tugged out of the room into a safe strong pair of muscular arms.

that scent was so familiar it was enough to calm you down, but alessia knew you needed more than just her smell. “baby, everything will be okay.” she whispers as you sway side to side gently, a small cluster of tears fall from your cheeks.

lessi kisses your cheek as she brushes her thumb over your hand again, humming the lyrics to your favourite comfort son to help you calm down.

“you’re my strong, inspirational best girl. my best girl on good days and bad days. my best girl until the end of time.” alessia whispers noticing you slowly calming down.

“if you don’t want to go climbing you don’t have too. me and you can sit in the cafe and just have a coffee and a cuddle baby. don’t worry your pretty head i’ll make sure your safe and okay my best girl.” she tells you, kissing your head once you were calm.

“i love you.” you whisper, resting your head on her chest just soaking up the calm atmosphere before you go back to training.

unloveable | a. russo

in which; you can't love alessia like this anymore.

playlist: love in the dark - adele

as much as you loved alessia, she had her problems that would no doubt fail to annoy you.

she was clumsy and - whilst it was cute - that meant she was constantly breaking things and would most likely always be the reason you're late as she seemed to lose track of time often, but there was one problem that kept you up at night whilst she slept soundly on your chest.

alessia hadn't revealed her sexuality to the world, which also meant you weren't able to call yourself her girlfriend to the public.

you'd used the excuse of being best friends for the past two years of your relationship together, but it had eventually gotten too overwhelming to hide your love for her anymore.

"less, i wanna tell people. come on, you've gotta be ready now, right?"

you spoke softly as she turned off the ignition to your car, noticing the way she stiffened up at your words and looked at you with an unreadable expression.

"y/n/n we've been over this, i don't want to yet."

"but why? it's not like people will be homophobic towards us, if anything they'll be more offended when we carry on telling them we aren't dating 'cus they hate straight people so much."

alessia sighed heavily, looking into your eyes one last time before getting out the car silently, waiting for you to get out and grab your training bag so she could lock it and open the door to her house.

"i'm not having this conversation with you again."

the blonde murmured as you walked in behind her, closing the door behind yourself and sighing in defeat, the house eerily silent as you tried to stay away from each other to not start an argument the day before a game.

"less, i was thinking-"

"i've told you once and i won't tell you again y/n! leave it alone!"

the blonde snapped at you from across the couch, yourself putting your phone down and into your pocket as you looked at her with a hurt expression.

alessia never shouted at you, not even when you'd riled her up throughout the day and she exploded on you in an argument. she always kept calm.

"i just wanted to know what you were wanting for food tonight."

you mumbled, alessia looking at you with her eyebrows raised and breathing heavy, a regretful look in her eyes.

the blonde moved towards you over the couch as she reached for your hand, yourself standing up quickly to pull away from her as she looked up at you in concern.

"y/n i-"

"save it, alessia. i'm sick of this. if you want to have a conversation with me, you can do it after the game tomorrow. hopefully by then you will have calmed down."

your girlfriend stood up and practically ran after you before you made it to the front door of her house, grabbing your wrist to stop you from putting on your shoes.

"y/n i didn't mean to baby, i swear. i just-"

"fuck off alessia! let me go!"

you quickly put your shoes on and grabbed your kit bag, looking at her one last time and seeing the tears in her eyes as some fell down her cheeks.

you felt an urge to run towards her, hold her in your arms and wipe her tears away whilst telling her everything was going to be okay, but by the time you even thought about it your legs had moved you out the door and towards the sidewalk as you called ona for a ride home.

the next day

the entire night had been filled with tears flowing from your eyes and text messages from alessia, your girlfriend apologising for blowing up on you and persisting even more when you left her on read, leading to you responding with a message that told her to give you space.

the blonde had replied with an understanding message, claiming she loved you and sending a red heart alongside it, the only person she would use that colour for was you.

so when you left her on read, it shattered her heart completely.

you walked into the old trafford stadium with ona beside you, your best friend holding your hand supportively as you squeezed hers in silent thanks, waving to all the fans and media whilst putting on a fake smile.

you did a lap around the pitch to take in the atmosphere, soaking in the silence before manchester city arrived for the derby everyone had been anticipating for the past couple of months.

ona held your hand the entire time, giving you one of her airpods so the music she was listening to would take your mind off things- those things being the blonde that was staring at you as she did a lap on the other side of the pitch with tooney holding her hand the same way ona was holding yours.

"don't think about her, i know that's easier said than done but trust me. you won't need to set her up 'cus you're a defender. no interaction means you can focus on the game, yeah?"

you looked down at ona and nodded your head with a grateful smile, leaning down to kiss her forehead affectionately before you walked towards the changing rooms together.

luckily, your cubby was never next to alessia's due to your differing numbers, so you were next to ona who helped distract you once again from the blonde who was shamelessly staring at you with a sulk from across the changing room.

kick-off came faster than expected and within twenty minutes you'd launched the ball over the midfielders, alessia connecting with it and scoring mere seconds later, the pair of you sending each other a thumbs up from across the pitch as you realised ona was wrong in her previous statement in how you wouldn't need to interact with her.

whenever you had fights you'd remain professional on the field, no matter how much it made fans suspect anything about your relationship and post about your small interactions on social media.

your eyes meeting alessia's for a moment made a twinge of pain occur in your heart, the feeling of ona hugging you breaking you out of your trance as you smiled down at her and hugged her back, alessia continuing to stare at you from across the pitch as she had tooney barrelling down on her after jumping onto her back.

the rest of the game was a success, full-time score being 4-1 to united as you all walked out the stadium whilst happily clapping your hands after the team talk with marc.

although you were pleased with the result of your efforts, alessia was the only thing on your mind.

you missed her touch lulling you to sleep at night before a game and calming you in the changing rooms ten minutes before kick-off, you missed her eyes and the way they flickered down to your lips before she leaned in for a soft kiss, you missed her voice and the way she spoke your name whilst telling you how much she loved you.

you missed her.

it hadn't even been twenty-four hours since you left her sobbing in her house and you still hadn't processed the fight because of that, all you could think about was how much you missed her and how you wanted- needed to tell the world she was yours.

you'd been together two years and the whole team knew, so what was making her so hesitant about everyone else knowing?

"hey."

a familiar voice spoke as you put on your slides and tucked your boots into your kit bag, making you look up whilst recognising the striker who was fondly staring at you.

"we should talk."

"yeah, okay."

you replied quietly, awkwardly smiling up at her as she fidgeted with the ring on her finger she always wore, clearing her throat before speaking again.

"do you wanna, maybe- come over mine then? just for privacy."

alessia was relieved when you nodded your head in agreement, gathering your things and saying goodbye to ona before walking out with your girlfriend in complete silence, the pair of you making sure you avoided the media as you couldn't be bothered to deal with them at that moment in time and pretend to be happy.

the ride to alessia's house was dead silent, quiet music filling the air with some background noise as you looked out the window so you wouldn't find yourself staring at her shamelessly.

you needed to talk to her about this issue, try one last time before you knew the outcome of your relationship and if the past two years with her were worth it or not.

the striker let you into her house first, yourself quietly thanking her as she nodded her head in response and closed the door behind her, following you to the couch in her living room as you sat down in the same spots as the night before.

"i need you to answer this honestly."

you started with a stern tone, alessia nodding her head for you to continue as she let you speak, her way of apologising for yelling at you.

"were you ever going to tell the world about us?"

you watched as her breathing hitched and she cleared her throat, looking down at the floor as she clasped her hands together to stop them from sweating.

"not this year, no."

"why?"

the blonde looked up at you and slightly shrugged, sitting up properly.

"i guess i just- i dunno, i'm scared."

"but you being scared shouldn't outweigh your love for me."

you retorted, beginning to grow impatient with her excuses.

"less, i know it's scary coming out but, for fucks sake literally every female footballer is gay! why do you think they're gonna treat you any differently?"

"i don't know, okay? it's just like a mental block or something!"

you put your head in your hands and smoothed your hair out of your face to calm yourself down, leaning back on the couch with your hands on your knees and body tense.

"if i'm not able to express how i feel about you to people the way i want to then i don't think i can be with you anymore."

your eyes remained glued to the floor, too scared to see the tears you knew were dwelling up in her eyes at your words as she sat up properly in shock.

"wh- what? what do you mean by that?"

"alessia, i can't love you in the dark. it feels like you're hiding me or you're ashamed of me. if you can't find a way to love me in public now then how are you gonna love me when we're married, are we still gonna be secret in five years time, huh? i guess it's just a case of right person wrong time."

your girlfriend was utterly speechless, edging towards you before you stopped her by pulling your hand away from hers when she attempted to reach for it.

"i'm breaking up with you."

your eyes finally met alessia's and saw the tears streaming down her face, the way her mouth curled into a frown out of pure upset making your heart ache to reach out for her until you remembered you were the reason she was so sad.

you stood up before you could take anything back, knowing it was for the best as you picked up your kit bag and walked towards her front door.

the italian stood up quickly and chased after you like last night, spinning you around and kissing you passionately one last time whilst tears streamed down both your faces and into the kiss.

your arms went around her neck to pull her closer one last time, your lips molded together like perfectly matched puzzle pieces one last time and you rested your forehead against hers one last time.

"i love you."

you whispered, turning around and walking out the door of her house one last time.

too cute

welcome to the dangerzone (alessia russo x reader)

word count: 1.4k

based on this request:

summary: slight angst, fluff and injury

it was super angsty and it killed me so here’s less angst for you🙈

international camp whilst being in a relationship with an opponent absolutely sucked. you and alessia were back in a honeymoon phase even though you had been together for a few years now, the thought of being away from her made your heart bleed with desperation, but you would have ona with you and she’s as close as home you’d get for now.

thankfully this was only a small camp which didn’t have as much purpose as the world cup, it was a short two week camp meaning you and alessia would be reunited soon.

the days had been slow without alessia but the pair of you would sit for hours thankful only an hour time zone difference. the blonde would sit for hours just staring at what she only described as her ‘spainish oil painted love.’ whilst you just fell more in love with her sleepy nature more every time.

“good morning gorgeous.” alessia smiled through the phone looking at your half awake form, alessia was always up bright and early and began her day by talking to you.

“hello less.” you whisper, pulling the duvet up as close as it could go. it was game day for both you and alessia but you were feeling exhausted as usual. you and alessia sat and spoke for a small while before your roommate, mapi leon woke up.

“good luck today baby, i’ll see you soon. i love you.” alessia smiles, blowing you a kiss through the phone.

you reciprocate the kiss “good luck to you to baby, score a goal for me i love you.”

as you cut the call off you notice a smiling mapi on the bed beside you “te amo mi amor” she repeated making kissing sounds to tease you but it didn’t work, you look at her dead in the eye and simply say.

“ingrid engen.” mapi stops her teasing and purses her lips as she turns red as a tomato.

before you knew it you were stood on the pitch awaiting your match against norway, all that was on your mind was alessia. you had just wished that these matches were not at the same time so you could see one another play for your national teams but you couldn’t. she was back home and you were in spain so all you could focus on was the here and now and that was winning this match.

the game started phenomenal for your team, you, jenni and alexia had already made a phenomenal impact having made the game 3-0 in the first 30 minutes. but things suddenly took a turn when you took the chance to score which of course you succeeded in but ingrid didn’t manage to stop her speed in time before she toppled into you.

you fly forward thumping your head onto the goal post, falling into your knees and then onto your back as the blood seeps out of your head onto the pitch and across your wrist which was against your head. gasps erupted through the stands as ingrid rushes over to you, ona and athena close on her tail as you laid there unconscious.

“y/n, i’m sorry. i’m so sorry, please wake up!” ingrid begs quietly, kneeling beside you. athena pulls her away in anger and desperation as her and ona kneel either side of you awaiting the rushing medical team.

ona pursed her lips holding your hand tightly in her own, she was thinking of how to relay the information to alessia. ona decided to message ella knowing it would be better from her than ona, she watches you be rushed off to hospital as the game is called off.

alessia’s game had officially finished before your news hit the headlines, alessia was busy with an interview when the others headed back into the changing room to celebrate their victory.

ella had her face deep in her phone attacking the like button on her instagram homepage when a headline from a woman’s sport page caught her eye.

spain’s y/n y/l/n rushed to hospital after a serious injury during their match match against norway

ella turns sheet white, her hands shaking slightly. the next post was the video of your injury which left her wincing just at the sight.

“leah, have you seen this? Its y/n.” the brunette shows their captain her phone before leah turns the same shade of white.

“we need to find alessia right now.” leah demands running around the arena in search of your girlfriend. leah and ella ran straight out back to the pitch where alessia had thankfully just finished her interview.

leah was searching her phone rapidly for the next possible flight for her and alessia to catch to come and see you.

alessia was stood smiling when she sees the pain on ella’s face “why the pouty face?” the woman asks.

“less, it’s y/n…. she was injuried during her game. badly injured, she’s in the hospital now.” ella tells her friend.

alessia’s smile falls off her lips as she pushes past ella whilst she rushes off to grab her bag, leah chases after her. “i’ve got us a flight it’s in an hour, okay? you’ll get to her less. i promise.” leah tells her.

the pair rush to the airport, making their miracle flight in the nick of time. as soon as their flight lands they seem to have teleported to the hospital. lessi runs around the hospital frantically searching for you, leah finds a nurse and asks any news on your health.

“miss y/l/n is still unconscious, she took a nasty tumble but we can’t really say much more until she’s awake and we can work out how bad her pain is.” the nurse tells leah, she thanks her before rushing off to find alessia who found your room as was now sat beside you.

your body laid still as the machines beep around your room, your head was covered in an arrange of white bandages which were bloodstained slightly. you looked peaceful, too peaceful for the liking of your best friend and girlfriend.

”please y/n, baby wake up. remember when you told me ‘trust yourself. you’ve survived a lot, and you’ll survive whatever is coming.’ well trust yourself now. because, because i can’t do this without you.” alessia sobs into your chest, leah stands besides her, biting her lip to try and stop herself from also crying.

“what if she doesn’t remember me leah?” your girlfriend squeaks, alessia had spent the last 3 hours worrying how major your injury was. but before leah could answer there came a whisper from the bed.

“alessia?” you whisper finally coming around to life.

your eyes were still shut and you hadn’t moved but you still began to speak “even if my darkest of days i’d never forget you, my hero.”

you finally open your eyes looking at lessi with a forced smile across your face as you hide the pain from her. less grips your hand as leah sits on the end of the bed, a smile on her face.

“are you in any pain?” lessi asks with a whisper, you were in excruciating pain, your hadn’t just hit your head but also cracked a few ribs during your tumble. your eyes were rimmed with black bruises, your head bandaged up and you held your ribs as your painkillers wore off.

you didn’t need alessia to worry so your shake your head “no baby, i’m all okay, did you win for me baby?.”

“we did. i was so worried about you.” she whispers before kissing your cheek with a smile as she goes to get her and leah some coffee.

once alessia was gone you exhale sharply as the tears trail down your face “leah i’m in so much pain.” you expose.

“don’t tell lessi, please i can’t have her worrying. i just want to go home.” you continue to sob as leah holds you awaiting lessi to return.

alessia returns with a small smile and some coffee, thankfully the nurse had come round with some more medication for you so you were feeling better once she arrived.

leah leaves you and alessia alone for a while, the blonde was staring to notice the constant wincing and jolting whenever you moved. “baby i can see you’re in pain.” alessia whispers, stroking your head gently as you try and stay awake after your long day.

“i want to just go home, stay in bed and listen to the birds with you as you give me them lovely hand massages.” you whisper

alessia kisses your head softly pulling you into her chest for a cuddle “once you’re ready to fly i’ll take you home for that. you’re still my pretty spanish oil painting okay?” she replies in the same whisper as you fall asleep, forgetting all your pain in that moment of your happiness.
