Note: This was originally a one-shot, but I may write more! Please let me know what you think :)

It’s a wild Friday night. Pajamas are on, you have your favorite comfort show on, and a bucket of ice cream all to yourself. You are casually scrolling through social media. A lot of your friends have moved back in for their final year of college. You graduated the year before them, which at the time you were thrilled to be done. Now seeing them all go back without you hurts. You were the captain of your soccer team, and seeing your teammates prepare for the indoor season without you is a little bit of a bummer.

You were able to land a corporate job, which you are of course grateful for. Most days are spent alone considering you work from home. You can’t deny the depression that is starting to creep back in. Your phone dings and you smile at the photo that your best friend, Lauren, sends you. The photo shows a smiling Lauren with the rest of your team, and you can see part of the men’s team trying to get into their photo. You chuckle and heart the photo in imessage. You can’t deny the pain you feel knowing you won’t be there this season.

Turning up your show to try to drown out the sadness seems like the best idea. Until your phone goes off again.

“You better not be moping all alone right now. We miss you.”

Lauren always has a sense for whenever you’re feeling sad. Something you love and hate about her. Mostly love.

Nah. I’m at a huge corporate rager. Drunk off my ass, might go home with someone.

Lauren replies almost immediately.

“Okay now I’m actually worried. Why don’t you play in our practice scrimmage tomorrow? The boys have an unfair advantage, so we need all the help we can get.”

You roll your eyes.

Don’t you think that would be a little pathetic? And what unfair advantage could they possibly have? You stomp them at every scrimmage.

As you wait for a response you think about joining your old team. I mean it is just a practice game, and it’s not like you have anything better to do. The exercise would be nice.

“Are you kidding? The team would be thrilled. We miss you all the time :(. The unfair advantage would be Marcus’ friend that is in town. They went to elementary school together when Marcus lived in Korea, and well he’s fucking incredible at soccer.”

You sigh and try not to think too much about your answer. Maybe just going with the flow will work out for me this one time.

Damn all you had to say was Marcus and I’m in. I can’t wait to see his face when we win. Just text me the details and I’ll be there.

Lauren sent you a voice memo of her and the rest of the girls screaming in excitement. You laugh and then start to get ready for bed. The scrimmage is at 9am so you need to make sure you get plenty of sleep.

Tomorrow comes and before you know it, you’re at the fieldhouse. You’re not sure why you were so nervous because the girls give you an enormous warm welcome. Lauren forces you to start stretching and warming up early since it’s been a few months since you’ve played. As you and Lauren are warming up together, you notice she has the biggest smirk on her face.

“Why are you smiling like that?”, You ask.

Lauren giggles, “Don’t hate me. We obviously needed you to beat the boy’s team, but I also had a bit of a side quest.”

You narrow your eyes, “What are you up to?”

Lauren says, “Well Marcus’ friend is super hot and good at soccer. I thought maybe you guys could get to know each other.”

“This was a set up?!” You gasp.

Lauren hushes you, “No one else knows. Even if you don’t want him to be your boyfriend, it could be a fun hookup. Just trust me on this.”

You roll your eyes, “Whatever. He better not be ugly.”

Lauren laughs as the two of you continue to warm up. You can’t deny the butterflies you feel at the idea of this mystery man. Lauren has never been wrong before, so you’re just hoping you can muster up enough courage to be yourself.

“Well well well. Look what the cat dragged in”

You immediately know who the voice belongs to. You turn and can’t help but smile.

“I’m not admitting that I missed you”, You say with your hands on your hips.

Marcus laughs and opens his arms. You both embrace until Marcus tries to squeeze the life out of you.

“Okay! Are you trying to squeeze me to death?!” You shout as you wiggle out of his embrace.

Marcus smiles, “I missed you.”

Lauren interrupts, “Okay okay enough with the flirting, Marcus.”

Marcus recognizes someone behind you, “Over here, Jongho!”

You all turn to see the man that Marcus was calling over. Fuck Lauren was right, he’s gorgeous. He gives your group the cutest smile you’ve ever seen and jogs over to your group.

Lauren whispers to you, “You’re drooling.”

You lightly smack Lauren’s arm and try not to keep staring at Jongho.

“Alright everyone! This is Jongho. We met when I lived in Korea and he’s here to stomp your asses.” Marcus says as he wraps his arm around Jongho’s shoulder.

Lauren rolls her eyes and puts her arm around you, “Well, Jongho, this is y/n and she’s here to make sure that doesn’t happen.”

You are giggling at Lauren when you finally make eye contact with Jongho. He is smiling brightly at you. You’re unable to hide the slight blush that appears on your cheeks. A burst of confidence comes through you.

“Yeah sorry you came all this way just to have your ass handed to you” You say with a smirk.

The teams are laughing and you can’t bring yourself to look away from Jongho. The sexual tension is undeniable. He steps closer to you and you refuse to back down from eye contact, even when you have to look up to meet his eyeline.

Jongho looks down at you flirtatiously, “You’re a mouthy one aren’t you. I like that.”

He walks towards his side of the field, the rest of the boys follow after him. While you’re momentarily frozen in your spot. You can’t believe someone as beautiful as him said that to you.

Lauren drags you back to your side of the field while you continually thank her for making you come. She continues to nod her head with that ‘I told you so’ look. You can’t even argue with her because she was oh so right.

Your team is huddled and hyping each other up. You are all in agreement that you must win this scrimmage no matter what. Even though it’s only a practice game. You will be in your favorite position, center defender. Lauren let you know that Jongho is a forward, so you will definitely be seeing him. Your team all put your hands together.

Before you can break you tell them, “Not one of his balls will get past me.”

Your team cheers and breaks. As you walk to your position, you’re shaking yourself out. You can’t decide if it’s because it’s been awhile since you played or because you’re nervous as fuck. Either way, Jongho is not getting past you.

For the first 10 minutes you wonder when you will get to play. Both teams are so hyped up that it was really just a battle of the forwards and midfielders for a while. This was good because you were able to watch Jongho in action and see how he plays. Unfortunately for you he is incredible, so this will definitely be a tough match.

Jongho is the first one to slip through the midfielders and he is barreling right towards you with the ball. You take a deep breath and immediately go into action. He attempts to side step you, but you step directly in front of him and kick the ball between his legs. Jongho wasn’t prepared for you to be able to disable him so quickly that he didn’t have time to slow his body down. The force causes Jongho to fall, bringing you down with him. You immediately jump back up, only to sag in relief when you see Lauren is on the other side of the field with the ball.

“Are you okay?!” You see a frantic Jongho searching all over you to make sure he didn’t cause you harm.

You laugh, “I’m fine. Better luck next time.”

You can see that Jongho is taken aback by you. He wasn’t expecting you to be so incredibly good at defense, and also not afraid to put yourself directly in his path. He can’t help but admire you, but he will also not be misjudging you again.

Before leaving, he can’t help but brush the few hairs that are in your face out of the way. He tucks them behind your ear, and then runs off to the other side of the field. Leaving you there speechless, and furiously blushing.

As the game continues, the girls are not backing down. The score is 1-0, with Lauren being able to score because you got the ball from Jongho. You had a few more run-ins with different people on the other team, but none of them were able to get past you. With only a minute left, you can feel a flip of the switch for everyone on the field. The girls, desperate to defend and keep their advantage. The boys, desperate for one goal.

You can feel all the attention is on you. You are the reason they can’t score. You continue your breathing techniques as Jongho makes a beeline for the goal. Needing to get past you, he has three different guys running with him. As they go down the field they’re passing it to one another, in an attempt to confuse you. The three of them are now running side by side and passing it between each other.

They reach you and the fight begins. You get the ball from one of the guys and attempt to kick it, but Jongho blocks you. You are trying to get the ball back when he passes it to another teammate that you didn’t see. He was further away so you start sprinting right at him, but right before you get to him he kicks it far. You hold your breath while watching the ball soar right to Jongho. Who happened to be right by the goal box.

You immediately take off towards him, your other defender doing her best. He’s able to fake her out and make it past her, as she falls to the ground. Jongho is lining up his shot, and you know the only way to stop him is to slide to the ball. He doesn’t see you coming up behind him, and right as he’s about to kick the ball his feet are taken out under him. Since he was so close to the ball, you had to risk a slide tackle. The ball went right to your goalie as you planned and the buzzer went off.

You are laying on your side breathing heavily as you hear the rest of your teammates screaming in victory. You turn over and see Jongho laying right behind you with his hands on his head in defeat.

You sit up, “Are you okay?”

Jongho looks at you and smiles, “You really weren’t kidding. I thoroughly just got my ass handed to me.”

Jongho sits up as you two begin to laugh. Even after the intense game and you’re not sure if you’ll be able to move later, the chemistry is undeniable.

Jongho picks up one of your hands, “Would you let me take you on a date? You are the most beautiful person I’ve ever seen.”

You blush and begin to laugh, “Even after I slide tackled you?”

Jongho smiles, “Yeah. I’ve met my match, and now I don’t think I’ll ever be able to stop thinking about you.”

It’s your turn to fix his hair.

“Let’s get you checked out by the trainer first, and then we can see about that date.”

Summer Prompt List

You've been sitting on the beach chair for what seemed like an eternity now. You kept staring at the fresh water, wondering how the cool water would feel against your hot skin.

It might be fresh weather at the beach but still, you were sweating underneath your sweater. You got cold easily, hence the sweater, but turns out, you got hot easily too. And every time you thought you were ready to get into the water, you just told yourself "Just five more minutes." But those five minutes bought you about an hour or two before Natasha blocked your view of the water.

"Are you planning to sit here all day? Thor wants to play ultimate frisbee, come on," she nudged your ankle with her foot. But when you dismissed her, she sat down on the sand beside you and rested her chin on your thigh.

"Does he even know how to play?" You questioned but you already saw your answer right in front of you. Peter was attempting to show Thor how to threw the disk properly but ended up just wacking Sam in the head with it.

Natasha didn't reply or bother looking behind her as she played with the loose string from your shorts. Every few seconds she gently scratched at your bare skin and looked up at you to see if she could get any reaction out of you. "Just come join us, Bucky and I let you have your fun here. Now it's time you join us in the water."

"No, I'm fine," you faked a smile and twirled her blonde hair around your index finger. She's been in the water ALL day and you couldn't believe her hair was this dry. You were sure you had seen Bucky throw her in the water earlier.

"Steve swears he can see you sweating from all the way over there." You rolled your eyes but looked to where Steve was. He was deep in the water with Bucky and the two were splashing water at each other not realizing a wave heading straight for them.

You shrugged and crossed your arms. There was no way now that you were going to take this sweater off. Everyone kept on glancing at you and you can feel your two lover's eyes on you. The last thing you wanted was attention as you stripped down to your bathing suit. I should have taken this sweater off the moment I got here. Maybe then no one would pay attention, you thought.

"I'm not taking it off Natasha, I'm comfortable just the way I am," you patted her head and met Bucky's eyes from where you sat. He waved you over and accidentally splashed some water on Steve. A giggle escaped your lips when you saw Steve tackle Bucky and dip him into the water. Steve laughed as Bucky rose back up from the water and shook his head, sending droplets of water flying. Steve splashed Bucky back and turned to look where he had been staring only to meet your eyes. Steve smiled and he hollered at you to join them.

"See, even the Captain wants you to join us," Natasha stated, her gaze never having left you. She pokes your bare thigh as you pretend to be interesting in anything else. Your gaze falls on the shell by your foot that Sam picked out earlier, to Thor throwing the frisbee to Peter, to Wanda making a sandcastle with Morgan.

"I'm going to get more water," you heard Morgan said as she stumbled along the sand heading towards her father and mother wetting just their feet. Morgan tugged at Tony's swim shorts and handed him the bucket to fill with water.

"Can I please just see you?" Natasha asked. "I've seen you naked but you're afraid to wear a bathing suit? I bet you look divine," she winked and stood up, hand held out for you to take. You shook your head and swatted her hand away. You stood up and headed for the ice chest a few feet away, making sure to kick some sand up at Natasha in your absence. "Look, I get it. We all do. Our boyfriend over there use to only wear long sleeves, then he only wore short sleeves only in the tower, and now - look at him - not a care in the world about his ar-"

"Well, I don't look half as good as he does," you shot back, growing irritated with her. You were beginning to regret coming to the beach. You were only here because when Nat and Bucky failed to persuade you, they sent in the back up: Steve and your goddaughter, Morgan. Morgan even fake cried and Steve kept tugging your hand until he finally gave up and wouldn't leave your bedroom until you gave in.

"Only because you look better," Steve nodded as he brushed past you to get his towel. He dried his hair and threw the towel back to your empty seat. "Come on, the water is nice. I need a partner to play that chicken game against Nat and Buck. You in?"

You pretended to think about and replied with a nope and made sure to make a 'pop' noise at the p. Oh, how you were really regretting coming to the beach. Going into the water was one thing, but being on Steve's shoulders was another. You felt like you were on display and you can only imagine how you'd feel once you were out of your sweater and shorts.

"Give me one good reason why I should go into that water," you turned and faced the two. Your eyes were narrowed as you held your bottled water in one hand your other arm was wrapped around your body.

"Because you look crazy in a sweater," Morgan commented as she walked past you without sparing you a glance.

Natasha and Steve laughed as you shook your head. You were about to ask Bucky to defend you because 3 against 1 wasn't going to work at all. But Bucky had been the one to convince you to get a bathing suit and he had even gone with you to purchase it. But you refused to walk out of the fitting room and told him he had to wait until Beach Day. You hoped in that small time frame from buying that bathing suit to the days leading up to the beach trip, you'd the confidence that you didn't have that day in the fitting room.

You took a deep breath and threw your bottled water at the ground. Just as your fingers gripped the hem of your sweater, your eyes shot up and you glared at Steve and Natasha. "Don't look at me!" Steve turned bright red and immediately turned around while Natasha put her hands up in surrender and her eyes landed on Bucky making his way to you three from behind you. He put a finger to his lips to make sure she won't say a word and slowly made his way to you.

Hesitantly, you took off your sweater, unaware of Bucky creeping up behind you. Your heart rate was increasing as you felt like everyone was staring but that was far from it. Everyone was in their own little world. Wanda and Morgan were now munching on some snacks and watching the God of Thunder get knocked down by a wave two times his size. Pepper and Tony were walking along the shore. Peter was now working on making the girls' castle bigger while Sam played catch with Clint.

Yet, you felt like everyone was watching and whispering. It was times like these that you wish a hole opened below your feet and swallowed you whole.

As you peeled your sweater off, it felt liberating and scary all at the same time. For a moment, you held your sweater to your chest looking from Natasha to Steve - both facing away from you. A part of you wanted to grab them and use them as shields before anyone can spare you a quick glance. But as you dropped your sweater on top of the ice chest, you unbuttoned your shorts and watched them spill around your feet. You took a deep breath and looked around. No one was looking.

But upon further inspection, you realized you didn't see Bucky. Surely he didn't drown. You've seen the man hold his breath for six minutes straight. The first time you had seen him do that, you ran to pull him out of the pool and you didn't understand why everyone was laughing at you. It took everything in you to not cry from embarrassment.

You were about to turn around to see if Bucky maybe walked off or something when you suddenly felt his arm wrap around your waist and he lifted you up from the ground. You screamed from the cold metal touching your warm skin and it earned a few glances your way. You felt your skin run hot and you pushed off Bucky and turned to face him. He was giving you a boyish grin, trying not to laugh.

"Bucky, I swear! What was that for?!" You shoved him a little and he fell back a few steps, laughing a little. Then it was like someone switched a light because his grin fell and his lips parted just a little and his eyes took every inch of you in.

"So we're going in the water now or what?" Steve asked as he turned around, looking from Bucky to you. You shifted from one foot to another under their gazes and while Bucky had no shame staring, Steve cleared his throat and motioned towards the roaring waters. "Beauty first," he smiled and gestured for you to lead the way and pulled Bucky back when he began to walk first.

"Stop flirting with my girlfriend," Natasha playfully glared at Steve and pulled you to her, her arm around your waist. Her tight grip on you prevented you from hiding behind her.

Steve muttered some profanities at her and told you three he'd meet you all in the water. He walked off heading for Thor and Morgan stood up, ditching Wanda and ran after Steve. She grabbed his hand and walked with him to the water.

As you watched them walk off, you felt two hot gazes on you and Natasha's arm snake off of you as she backed up and stood beside Bucky. You were now suddenly more aware of how much skin you were showing.

You turned to face them and snapped, "Why are you looking at me like that?" When they didn't reply you reached for the towel Steve abandoned only for Natasha to snatch it before you could. "Nat. . . Give it back," you tried to use a threatening tone only to crack a smile when she pulled back with a grin.

You were just about to chase her when Bucky got a hold of you and held you by your waist. Natasha laughed and stuck her tongue out at you. You stopped a smile from forming at your girlfriend. How you loved when she let loose and acted silly and weird with you two.

"You look so pretty, doll," Bucky whispered as you tried reaching for Natasha. Your movements stopped when you felt him kiss the top of your head and lightly smack your bottom. From afar, you heard Morgan scream in disgust causing Bucky to burst into laughter and his hold on your weaken. In seconds, you had Natasha tackled onto the ground, only for her to smile as you had her hands pinned on the floor and the towel long forgotten a few feet away. Before you knew it, she flipped you over and stood up. She quickly grabbed one of your hands as Bucky grabbed the other and they dragged you to the cold water. As you screamed and tried to threaten them but couldn't through your laughs, Morgan snuck up behind you as well and was pushing you towards the water.
