Saved you a seat
Tumblr media
Pairing: Alessia Russo x Engwnt!Reader
Prompt: “I saved you a seat.”
Masterlist | Woso masterlist | words: 1k
You had joined Manchester United the same time that Alessia Russo had left the club, meaning you never got the chance to properly meet the woman. She was an amazing player, so you were sad to hear that she was leaving the team as you joined but you knew you would meet her soon enough, having been called up for your first national camp starting in about a month. 
While you were finding your place within the team, getting to know your new teammates, you noticed that Ella seemed a bit off. You knew that her and Alessia were best friends, and noticed that her leaving the club was hard on her. You tried supporting Ella as best as you could, even being able to help her through some tough moments, the two of you quickly became friends through everything.
It was actually Ella that had introduced you to Alessia when you were playing her new club, Arsenal, back in October. An introduction that led to you falling for the Arsenal player, much to Ella’s enjoyment, claiming that her introducing the both of you to each other was the leading cause of Alessia now being your girlfriend. You couldn’t disagree because she was in fact the one introducing you, as well as the person that was nudging the both of you to confess your crushes to the other. Ella was like the number one fan of your relationship.
Both your Manchester United teammates and her Arsenal ones were aware of your relationship, as well as your new teammates at the Lionesses. A journey you couldn’t be more excited about, now being able to share it with your girlfriend, and your friends. Besides your teammates, and family knowing about your relationship, you decided to keep the relationship private. Both you and Alessia knew all too well how the media and fans could be. 
You had just placed your bags in the coach, about to head to your next match. When you walk into the coach your eyes meet Alessia’s sparkling ones, “I saved you a seat.” She says with her signature smile. “Aw, thank you baby, I appreciate it. Are you sure you don’t want to sit with Tooney, though? I know you two always sit together.” She shakes her head, “We talked about it. So, yes, I am sure.” You look around the coach for Ella, who gives you two thumbs up at your questioning look. 
Like at every match, the England media team was waiting outside of the coach to film your arrival. You and Alessia both wave to the camera’s and of course to the fans further back as well, before heading into the stadium, getting ready for the match with the team. 
Ever since Alessia made the move to Arsenal, the fans have been speculating about some big fall out between her and Ella. Reading too much into every little situation. At first they were concerned for Ella when they, like yourself, noticed she wasn’t looking her usual self but their concern quickly turned into wild speculations claiming something had happened and the two were no longer friends. It had all started up again when England camp started, according to the fans the women weren’t spending as much time together, they weren’t laughing together, or not looking at each other enough. You thought it was annoying how people were assuming so much, when you knew from first hand experience that they were still very much friends. They continued to share a room during the camps, and you spend almost every night watching movies with the both of them. 
After the game you decide to relax a bit and scroll on your phone, you were tagged in the Instagram post by the Lionesses of the arrival at the stadium, and some other pictures. You add them to your story, and start reading some of the comments. Comments like, They’re not even sitting on the bus together anymore, Another game without any interaction between Lessi and Tooney, and your favorite How are Ella and Lessi both friends with y/l/n but not with each other? filled our screen. You roll your eyes at the growing pile of comments before you head out to find both Alessia and Ella, to show the comments to them. 
“I don’t know about you guys but I am kind of done with all of this.” Ella shared with the both of you. “Yeah, this is getting rather frustrating.” Alessia joined in. “Alright, I have an idea. Y/n, can you please take a picture of me and Lessi?” They pose in front of the Christmas tree in the stadium hallway. Ella starts typing away and shows the final result ‘Rumours are true … we are no longer friends xxx’ before posting it to her story. The three of you have a laugh at the post before heading back to the coach. 
When you get back you turn to Alessia, “Hey, before you head back home, wanna have a movie night at my place? Ella included of course.” Alessia smiles, “I would love to, I’d never turn away an opportunity to hang with my two favorite girls. Back at your place the three of you change into some comfy wear and plop down on the couch with a bunch of snacks. Celebrating your win with a fun night. 
Alessia loved the picture that she took of the three of your sharing a blanket during movie night. She wanted to post it but also thought maybe it would be too much with the story post from Ella yesterday. “Baby, I think you should post whatever you want and try to not let the fans get into your head.” Ella nods along, “Yeah, I agree fully. Just post it, it’s a cute picture.” The both of you were able to convince Alessia to post the picture. “Okay but tomorrow then. I want them to enjoy Tooney’s message first.”
The next day you smile at your phone when the notification of Alessia’s post shows up on your phone. It was the picture with the three of you along with the caption ‘Movie night with my favorite girls’.

nightfall - alessia russo x reader
genre: drunk lessi, fluff
warnings: mentions of alcohol, suggestive
____________________________________________
a friday night was typically an eventful occassion after a long week of work and alessia’s training. you usually accompany and tag along with alessia and her friends from man united to a bar, almost always ending up in a club returning home during hellish hours. as you still had a report to complete, you told alessia earlier in the evening you would be skipping the night out, allowing her to spend the night out with mary and tooney.
seated quietly on the couch with a cup by your side, you typed away at your report. suddenly you heard an aggressive rattled at the door. it genuinely took minutes until alessia managed to crack the door open, stumbling through the hall on her way in. she kicked off her shoes and entered the living room, locking eyes with you. her already pink cheeks, turn into a darker shade upon seeing you in your pyjamas, comfortably sitting on the couch.
“ynnnn,” she sang before collapsing into your arms, fortunately, you had moved the laptop from your lap in time.
“hi my love,” you reply.
you closed your laptop shut, shifting your focus to your girlfriend.
“so, how was it?” you smiled softly, as she took she took your hand into hers. she played with your fingers, tracing the lines and crevices delicately.
“yeah, it was pretty good. we went to this fancy restaurant, but tooney got sick of the formality, so we just ended up drinking heaps and heading to the clubs instead,” alessia explained slowly with a slurred speech, looking a bit sheepish about the ‘club’ part. nonetheless, you hummed in understanding.
you moved your hand to playfully squish her cheek while giving her a stern look.
“you didn’t happen to share your lips with any other pretty girls, did you?” you inquired.
“no!” she explained loudly, making you flinch, “the only pretty girl i give kisses to is the one i’m looking at.”
you laugh as she leaned in, leaving an uncontrolled, slobbery kiss to your lips. instead of pulling away after the initial kiss, alessia kissed deeper and more passionately, taking you by surprise.
“lessi,” you say breathlessly, pulling the girl’s face away from yours, “you’re drunk. you smell sweaty and like alcohol, let’s get you cleaned up, hey?”
she pouted, but got up with your assistance to head to the bathroom. clinging to your clothes, she tugs you as you walk. you lift her by the waist and seated her down on the vanity.
“you look good underneath me,” she smirked. rolling your eyes at her comment, you ignore her, pulling the zip down from the side of her dress.
“oi! you gotta ask a girls name before getting her naked!” she waffled on jokingly.
“up,” you instructed, once again ignoring her.
you pulled the dress down until it pooled at the tiled floor. grabbing an old hoodie, you slipped it over her head, she whined as the collar was tight when passing her head.
she patiently sat on the counter, watching as you applied make up remover to a cotton pad.
“baby, close your eyes for me,” you whisper.
she flinched from the cold liquid against her face, but stayed still while you worked to remove the makeup from her face. you traced her inner thigh with a finger, indicating for her to open her eyes and hop off the vanity.
“we can worry about washing your face tomorrow, brush your teeth please.”
“can you help me?” she moaned, pouting once again.
“god, you really are a baby aren’t you?”
you teased, grabbing her toothbrush and applying toothpaste. opening your mouth as an example, you motion for her to do the same. you place one hand under chin as you move the toothbrush back and forth through her mouth and against her teeth.
“all done,” you say.
she spits her frothy mouth out and rinses it, spinning round to face you, almost tripping from the sudden turn. you grab her by the waist and press her against the counter, placing a soft kiss to her lips.
you lift alessia up, as she starts to sink to the ground from exhaustion. you place her on the opposite side of the bed, pulling the cover over her limp body and placing a kiss to her forehead.
“goodnight sweetheart, i love you.”
you also get into to bed, turning off the light, waiting in the darkness for alessia’s breathing to even out. it doesn’t.
breaking the silence, alessia speaks up.
“i want to have sex.”
“the answer is no, alessia,” you scold, “go to sleep.”
with a ‘hmph’ you feel the bed move as alessia moves away from you. you scoot closer towards her, holding her close as she nestled into your embrace.

THE ONLY MEMORY IS US KISSING IN THE MOONLIGHT
Pairing: Mary Earps x reader
Genre: Hurt/Comfort
Summary: All of your memories are lost after a concussion... All but one.
A/N: First, it was meant to be a one-shot but, it turned out to be a bit too long for my liking so, in the next few days I should be able to post the second part if you want it. Despite studying to be a nurse, I have no idea how a concussion works, so, don't quote me on anything. Also, I used to play football like a hundred years ago, so, again, don't quote me on anything. I hoped to post this on Valentine's Day, but life happened, and I ended up driving my sister to get a few things, which set me back a lot. I hope you like it and I'm open to reading your feedback and your ideas if you want. I did not proofread it so, if you see a misspelled word or something... no you didn't.
Warnings: Mention of injuries mostly.

Part one
Manchester United vs. Manchester City 
It was Derby match day, and as such, you were all nervous about it. Everyone was very determined to get another win for the team. But there was no one more determined than your fiance. Mary tended to take it very hard whenever someone got the ball past her, especially on a Derby match, and you more than anyone knew how much it affected her, having witnessed Mary's dedication and passion for the game countless times before. Her commitment to the team was unwavering, and she always gave it her all on the field. The pressure of this match only fueled her determination further, making her even more focused on stopping every shot that came her way. It was also the reason you were so committed to ensuring she could, hopefully, maintain a clean sheet.
Traveling to the stadium proceeded as usual. Before heading outside to do the field inspection, you went to the changing rooms and put away your gear. Following one of your pre-match traditions, you went hand in hand, talking about some ideas and your hopes while also giving each other sweet, supportive words.
After you were done with the inspection, everyone headed toward the changing room to start getting ready to go out for the warm-up. "Baby…" Mary came to sit next to you in your cubby, holding the physio tape out for you to take. Another one of your traditions was for you to tape her fingers before every game. You kissed each of her fingers as you taped it, taking care to get it exactly how she wanted it. "All done, baby." You leaned in to kiss her cheek before she moved to tie your boots. When you first made it a tradition, your teammates made sure to tease you relentlessly about it, but after time passed, they realized how important it was for both of you and decided to just silently admire the dedication and love each of you put into the task.
It felt like you blinked when you suddenly had to get out to the tunnel to make your entrance, but not before sharing a sweet kiss with your soon-to-be wife.
The next hour passed like a blur. Each team left it all out on the field in the first half, both being very physical about their game. By this point, the goalkeepers were the only players who had not been taken down by another player. Leaving the first time 0–0 didn't help either to calm their playing strategies.
Halftime goes as expected. The pressure of the derby weighs heavily on everyone, especially on the defensive line and Mary, since the opposite team managed to break it a few times, creating dangerous opportunities that your girlfriend was successfully able to save.
Going to the second leg of the game, you were even more determined to help Mary get a clean sheet, so when the other team got a corner kick, you were inside the penalty box to make sure that the ball didn't get past the blond's hands.
Your heart was racing while you waited for the city player to take the corner, fighting to maintain the mark on your player. All that was on your mind was keeping that ball away from the danger zone, so when the ball was finally in the air, you, along with the other players, jumped to head the ball.
That is the last thing you get to see, as your head not only collides with the other footballer's head, but since you were near the post, your head ended up hitting it too. Mary got a hold of the ball, but before she could send it far, she noticed your unmoving body. Ella, who was near you, leaned down to make sure you were okay, but if the blood on your forehead wasn't enough to scare her, your lack of response was.
The medics are rushed to the playground, worried that head injuries can become bad really fast. Mary is stuck in place, not able to do anything more than call out for you in hopes that you open your eyes.
"Baby, please just open your eyes." A nudge from Zelem takes her out of her shock, finally making her way toward you.
"We need to take her to the hospital; she's not waking up." One of the physios said as they called in the paramedics on standby at each game.
"I need to go with her," Mary said to her captain. "Go, I'll talk to the coach." With a pat on the goalkeeper's shoulder, she sent her on her way. "Let me know what happens!"
Mary is left in the waiting area, concerned about your condition, while you are hurried into the hospital for some scans to determine the extent of the injuries. She understands that injuries are inevitable in such a physically demanding sport, but it breaks her heart to watch the person she loves so much lying on the ground, unable to open her eyes. The blonde was struggling mightily with her tears, trying not to think of the worst-case scenario because she knew it would not help.
The remainder of the squad started to move toward the waiting room an hour later. Even though Mary wasn't crying just yet, her expression made it obvious that she was frightened about your condition, and they were all rather concerned about it.
They didn't have to wait much longer for a status report. The doctor appears through the door of the waiting room. "Y/n Y/l/n's family?"
Mary shot up from her seat. "Yes, I'm her fiance."
"I have some news; there are no signs of intracranial bleeding, which was our main concern, but she does have a pretty serious concussion, so I must warn you. She may present some loss of memory, but it will be temporary, and there is no way of knowing how much time it will take for her to recover it or how much of it she'll lose if she does at all."
"So, she's going to be okay, right?" Mary said, her voice filled with concern.
"Yes, she will need to rest a lot and take it easy for a while, but she's going to be okay." Everyone could feel the tension leave their shoulders. "Would you like to see her?"
"Yes, please." The doctor was quick to direct the blonde to your room. Mary wanted to cry at the sight of you, so small on the hospital bed and with a big bandage on your head.
"Remember that she might not know who you are just yet; just be gentle with her." The keeper could only nod to the doctor. "I'll leave you with her; if you need anything, just press the button on the side of her bed."
Mary walked next to you and held your hand in one of hers; with the other, she very gently caressed your cheek, not wanting to disturb you in any way. She was scared out of her mind. You were about to get married; you were supposed to enjoy this chapter of your life, and now you might not even remember who she was.
The first few hours were the easiest for her. The more time that passed, the more she worried. What was taking so long? The doctor had said that you would be okay; it was just a concussion.
Your teammates had tried in vain to lift her spirits, but at least they'd succeeded in getting the blonde to change out of her still-fitting team kit and take a shower.
The shower, the strong emotions of the day, and the game you had played tired her out. She fell asleep with her head resting next to your body on the bed while holding your hand for dear life.
Your eyelids flickered open and then shut again as soon as you noticed the room's brightness; this made the pounding sensation in your head worse. You tried moving your hand to cover your face when you felt a weight on top of it. The movement stirred Mary up, who took a second to understand what was happening.
"Baby, you're awake," Mary whispered with a mixture of relief and concern in her voice. She gently moved her head from your body and sat up, allowing you to adjust to the light. "How are you feeling?" she asked, her eyes filled with worry.
"Who are you?"
To be continued…

The other side of Manchester | Alessia Russo
Tumblr media
Alessia Russo x foden!reader
Phil Foden x foden!reader
Summary: A anonymous dating app lets Alessia Russo, the Manchester United star striker, and Y/n Foden, the die hard citizen, fall for each other.
Warning: language, rivals to lovers?
English is not my first language
Masterlist
✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✧・゚: *✧・゚:*
Bantr. It was the new trendy dating app everyone's using. It's a complete anonymous dating app, where you find your partner without any pictures or whatsover, only the things your counterpart says the you. This is the formal description of Keeley Jones, the developer of Bantr. Everyone in your surrounding and who's single has this app, exept for you. It wasn't like you weren't against the idea, but you didn't believed in every trend. With you the only single one who has not the app, your and your brothers teammates were basicly forcing you to download this app.
"Comon, Y/n. You know it going to work, since you look more for personality and everything. And wouldn't be home alone anymore." Your brother whined. Since weeks he tries to get you to download this app. He even put your own teammates against you, who were always on your side.
"I'm everything but lonely, Phil. And who knows maybe in two weeks no ones using this shitty app anymore" He raised an eyebrow.
"Y/n/n you are lonely. And who cares about this stuff. If you don't do it on your free will I will. And I will find you a hot chic who has both looks and personality." With that he grabbed your phone to make his threatment reality.
"Alright, alright. But at least let me do the fucking profil on my own."
"Alright, heartbreacker" He smiled as he gave you your phone back.
"I hate you" you said as you opend the app and logged yourself in. Phil kept a close eye on your phone until Jack walk over to the next room
"Yo Jack. You own me 20 bucks!" Phil yelled at him.
"I can't belive you fucking bet on me" You said shaking your head.
✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✧・゚: *✧・゚:*
On the other side of Manchester it looked a bit different.
"Tooney, I think I'm gonna delete this app" Alessia sighed.
"What Bantr? Don't you dare." Ella muffled with a mouth full of crips.
"Because it's useless."
With that Ella stop whatever movie they were watching. It was movie night at Alessias like every friday. "Why? I thought there was this one girl you wanted to meet up with."
"Well she canceled"
"What? Why?"
"I don't know. Can we just go on with the movie?"
"Of course yeah. But I swear on my boyfriend that I and this app will find some one for you." Ella said while putting on the tv again.
"No don't swear on him. He's actually nice" Alessia said smilling.
A few hours and two movies later Alessia and Ella still sat on the couch, with Ella sleeping besides her bestfriend. Alessia often tought about going also to sleep but the movies always kept her awake. So the blonde finally decides to put the tv off and closing her eyes too. But as she wanted to drift off, her phone beeped. With a sigh she looks at her phone and frowned at the bantr message.
Hey, sorry to disturb you. But my brother wouldn't leave me alone, if I wouldn't text anyone on this stupid app. ;)
Alessia smiled at this message. She ddebated if she's going to answer or not. In the end she decided to give it a try.
Hi. No everythings fine. I share the same opinion with this app. My bestfriend forced me to get it.
A thing Alessia didn't know was, that you were smilling on your phone to her respond. Happy that there was someone who shared the same opinion as you.
Looks like we have the same story. So do you maybe know how this app works properly?
I could help you indeed
I'm all ears, Bantr master
Alessia couldn't stop smiling. She wrote with many girls, acording the Ella it's necessary to find the perfect match, but never smiled this much in the beginning. She adjusted herself on the couch and text the anymous person.
You texted each other for hours until you had to put a stop into this. On sunday you had a game and with that a little training and a meeting. Your told her you had to work, not what you do for living. You didn't feel like telling a stranger that you are a footballer and maybe get used for this. But your texting partner didn't mind and you fell asleep thinking about her.
Alessia on the other side couldn't sleep, thinking to much about her texting partner. The conversation you two had was easy. It was easy to talk to you. Easier then with the other girls she texted with.
✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✧・゚: *✧・゚:*
Ella woke up, searching for her bestfriend on the couch. Confussed she couldn't found Alessia, Ella walked around Alessias house, only to find her sitting on the kitchen counter with a smile in her face. She was looking down at the phone in her hands.
"What got you so smiley today, Lessi?" Ella asked. With that Alessia looked up and aknowledge for the first time her bestfriends precence.
"Nothing!" Alessia said quickly and turned her phone off quick. Too quick for Ella to believe.
"Well I think, you got a match on bantr, right?" Alessia nodded her head frusterated. There was no point in lying.
"Ohh. What's her name? Dies she lives in Manchester? Tell me everything you know." Ella commanded.
"Well she's a private person" Ella nodded suspicious. "Her names Y/n...uhm... yes she lives in Manchester and her favourite colour is Y/f/c"
Ella looked at her bestfriend dumbfounded. "Is that everything?" Alessia nodded her head slowly. "Oh dios mío. You really don't know how to talk to people. But let me handle this... Oh I got one. Ask her if she supports United or City."
✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✧・゚: *✧・゚:*
"So how's bantr?" Lauren Hemp, your bestfriend, welcomed you, when you entered the pitch
"Good morning to you too, and how do you even fucking know about that one?" You asked her confussed while you tied your shoelaces.
"I have my trust sources" You shook your head. Your brother must tell someone and one of his teammates told it Lauren or it was Jack who told then Lauren. "So found any matches?" She asked curious.
"Yeah, I started texting with someone yesterday" You said proudly.
"Show me!" You gave Lauren your phone, so she could read the chat. "Why aren't you answering her?" She shoved your into your face.
"You see the kind off question she wrote down, right? So know imagine she supports fucking united. I wouldn't know what the fuck to do."
"You don't do anything, silly. You just have to shake of your pride and look over this, mate, if you like her. You do, right?" Lauren asked with a smile.
"The fuck, Lauren. I don't even know her. We texted yesterday. How can I like her then?"
"Because I know you. But you can't tell me you don't know anything."
"Well, her name is Alessia-"
"Uh like Alessia Russo." Lauren interrupted you. It was to tease you, because she knew about your rivalery you had in the league and who gets the starting on the Lionesses, since you both a striker.
"Don't Lauren, or I fucking-"
"Hey! Everyone to the middle!" Your coach yelled. As soon as everyone was in position, he went on. "Alright girls. Tomorrow we have a game to warm us up against United next week. As we know Tottenham is nearly on relegation, I do not wanna see any mistakes. It's also important that we win this game, so we are going to be second, since Chelsea lost against Arsenal. And with a win next week we are going to be first." He looked everyone of his players in the eyes. "Okay, so today is a short training with an tactic meeting afterwards. So want you all be ready at 2 o'clock in the meeting."
With that the training started. It was not intense, just something to train the things that didn't worked. After the coach dismissed y'all, you went instenly to your phone, to look what Alessia had texted you. You texted her in a pause.
Well isn't this sad, because I think Manchester is red ;)
You smiled at your phone for a short time. Something that didn't went unnoticed by your bestfriend.
Don't know if you support woman football, but they are playing next week. I think you going to see there, that Manchester is blue.
"Make sure your ready at 2, heartbreacker" Lauren said, when she walked to the showers.
Quickly you grabbed your towel and speeded after her. "Where do you get all this Informationen?.... Wait!... Are you talking with Jack again?" You yelled and ran after her.
✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✧・゚: *✧・゚:*
In the next days the texting with each other has grow to an routine of the other. When you had your meeting for the game against Tottenham, what you won 4:0 with a hattrick of yours, you couldn't keep your hands and eyes of the screen. It went this far that the coach had to take it away from you.
With the win against Tottenham ManCity was one point apart from ManUnited. The tension got thicker in training and everyone worked hard to win this derby.
You and Alessia had a bet to finally meet after the long time of writting. If City wins Alessia had to orginze the date and if United wins you had to it. It gave you both something to work harder, to impress the other one, even none of you know that you both are playing profionall football for the Manchester clubs.
You felt attracted towards the woman. You liked her personality and of course that she is big football fan, who also watched the womans game. She on the other side felt like she had fallen for you. Alessia was known as a person who falls in love very easily. It has it pros and cons. One con she doesn't even know you properly. She only knew a version you could have created. But she was looking forward to the date.
✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✧・゚: *✧・゚:*
It was matchday. Your nerves went crazy like on every other big game. Steph Houghton gave the last prep talk before everyone lined up after her. You stood to your annoce next to Alessia Russo. You gave each other a look that meant, whoever wins this game gets the starting spot for the upcoming international break.
The game was intense. Both didn't want to give the other the win and with that the first place. It was 35th, when Alessia shot a beautiful goal with an assist from Ella. The United girls celebrated the goal loud with their fans. Then there was halftime. You went with anger of yourself in your locker-room, but it went away quickly, when you saw that Alessia had texted you.
1:0 for me, opps
You wish, honey. City still got full 45 min to score at least one goal
Not going to happen
Ella saw Alessias smile and smiled to herself before she sat next to her. She looked at her bestfriends phone before their coach called for everyones attention.
The game got more intense, than it already was. You had chances over chances, but nothing worked. Neither it was Mary or the last defender.
With that the game ended 1:0 and United stayed on top of the table. You were ready for a teasing comment from Alessia, like always when she wins against you, but that didn't happened. She just ran to the locker room. Weird, you thought. She always stays for the fans in the end. Since you played abroad, you also just went to the locker room. You were frusterated with yourself. You wanted to win against Alessia, but also wanted to impress the girl you had to admit were falling for.
When you entered the locker room you could see the disappointed and frustration in your teammates faces. You the first thing you did after you sat down, like all the other times, you went straight to your phone and of course did Alessia message you.
So since Manchester is red again, where does our date lead us. ;) ♡
Alessia was eager to finally meet you. To see if she not fell for a version the other person created. So she went straight to the lockerroom, forgetting for once the fans and texted you. She knew it sounded desprate, but she hoped you were too. Slowly the other girls were entering the locker room and started to celebrate their.
"Lessi, why are you on your phone? Come celebrate with us. You can text or whatever later." Ona said. But the blonde ressist.
"I'm good Ona" But the spaniard wasn't not pleased with the answer. She wanted to ask Alessia again, but interrupted by Mary, who put the music on.
✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✧・゚: *✧・゚:*
Today was the day for your meeting with the girl you had fallen for over the last two weeks. It felt like falling for a mystery. Alessia wanted nothing fancy, like going out to a restaurant or something. So you decided to go to Café. Both of you were nervous to meet the other person. Alessia was a mess and put on every outfit she had. But with Ellas help she finally found something to wear. She also helped Alessia with the hair, that she at the end wore down.
You were also not better. Lauren came over and helped you with an outfit and gave advice on how to style your hair, but also to calm down your nerves. She swears she had never seen you this nervous. And of course your brother called you. He told you how he knew you find someone on this app and that he wishes you the best luck. With a look in the mirror you made your way to the Café.
But you still were running late so you texted her about it.
It's fine I'll wait outside
And she did it waited for you, but it looks like you were not coming.
Because you knew that Café very well, you drove a little bit different, so Alessia wouldn't see straight away. With a last look in the mirror of your car, you walked to the Café. But as you got closer to it, you couldn't believe your eyes. Alessia mf Russo stood there with her phone in her hand.
I'm outside. Where are you?
And now it hit you. The name Alessia, supporting Manchester United, having two brother. It now all made sense. And you stood there on your spot frozen and for the first time you didn't know what to do.
"Fuck me"
Part 2 maybe?

Falling for me... literally? - Alessia Russo x reader
It wasn't a secret that off the football pitch Alessia wasn't the most graceful person. Hell even on the pitch Alessia struggled to stay on her feet the entire time.
It was a running joke with the team that Alessia was quite possibly the clumsiest person alive. So the blonde did her best to prove her teammates wrong.
Although it didn't quite work out most of the time.
But overtime Alessia had made peace with it. As embarrassing as it was it was true. That despite her profession she wasn't the best on her feet. Even if she had accepted it, it didn't mean that she sometimes hated that fact.
Especially now.
"Ella shut up!" Alessia groans as Ella continues to cackle beside her as they enter the hospital.
Ella tries to stop but it only turns to giggles instead. "I'm sorry" she says not really sounding sorry at all. But another grin over takes her face as she falls into laughter again. "I just can't wait for you to explain what happened".
Alessia blushes crimson as Ella bursts out laughing again gaining the attention of other people. Alessia ducked her head down not wanting to drag anymore attention to herself.
Alessia instead busiest herself with admitting her details all while trying to ignore Ella who continuously teased her.
Surprisingly they weren't waiting all that long before someone came and saw her.
Alessia was in the middle of rolling her eyes at her best friend as she poked more fun at her when someone flew into the room.
"Sorry about that" you apologize when you see how the blonde jumped at the sudden entry. Sending her a quick smile hoping it would help her calm down. "I'm still new here. Still trying to find my bearings".
But Alessia couldn't answer. She was too busy staring at how beautiful you looked.
She was jolted out of it by a swift elbow to her side from her teammate. Her face pinkened as she gave you a sheepish smile. "It's...It's fine".
You return it and Alessia swears that if she was hooked up to one of those heart monitors she would have been screwed. "Well what brings you here today?"
Alessia rolls her eyes contemplating hitting her friend when she hears her failing to hide her chuckles but instead settles for focusing on the pretty nurse in front of her.
But it seems she's saved from explaining when your eyes flicker up to her eyebrow.
"Mind if I take a look?" You ask as you get gloves on. Alessia nods quietly as you walk closer to her. Even with the blonde sitting down you were just barely at her height standing up. But you were thankfully able to get a clear look at her eyebrow coming level with her eyes.
Which you struggled to not pay attention when her blue orbs were fixed on you.
You kiss your teeth as you look at the small split right off her eyebrow. "Ouch what happened here?"
Alessia blushes furiously which she blames on the fact that Ella once again bursts our laughing instead of how gently your touching her face. "Um".
"She has an ongoing fued with gravity" Ella teases thinking that her best friend is currently flustered due to her teasing not the pretty girl checking out her split head. "Less can't seem to stay on her feet for long periods of time".
Alessia glares at the brunette hoping that it would shut her up.  But she doesn't get the hint. She opens her mouth to tease the blonde some more but she's cut off by her phone ringing.
Ella takes out her phone and sends the striker a small smile. "Sorry it's Joe".
But Alessia waves her off almost as if relived for the reprieve. "It's okay go take it".
Ella looks over her almost as if to make sure it's okay before she ducks out of the room to answer the call.
"Sorry about her" Alessia sighs softly.
But you just chuckle as you shake her head. "Don't be" you reassure her as your raise an eyebrow at her, "we all have that one friend".
Alessia laughs and nods but immediately stops when pain shoots through her head and she winces.
You frown at the girl's visible pain. "So what really happened?" You ask as you focus back on the wound. Careful not to cause her anymore pain.
Alessia pursues her lips before sighing rubbing her hands on her thighs nervously.
"I..." Alessia starts but relents when you smile softly at her. "I tripped" she admits with a small shrug, "I tripped and I hit my head off the corner of the couch".
You raise an eyebrow at her, "So there's some truth behind what your friend was saying?"
Alessia blushes and lets out a small cough trying to deflect. But you just give her arm a gentle squeeze. "It's okay. It's cute" you wink and giggle when you see how red the blonde gets.
You give her a grin before going back to her wound. You were so focused on her wound that you didn't see how she looked at you. How it gave Alessia the perfect opportunity to check you out while you were so close and so focused on something else.
If you had been paying attention you would have noticed all of that. Especially how big her grin was when she saw how you had to go on your tippy toes at times.
"So how are you feeling?" You ask as your eyes flicker down to hers.
Alessia's eyes widened thinking she was caught but eventually stumbled back an answer. "oh uh...fine just a headache really". Almost as if to prove a point she winces once more as you gently prod a tender area.
You raise another eyebrow at her as she smiles sheepishly at being caught. "Okay and maybe a bit sore".
You hum as you look her over putting your hand to her forehead to check her temp as she was incredibly flush. "Any dizziness? Nausea?" But that just earned you a small head shake from the girl.
"How long ago was this?" You ask as you take off your gloves.
Alessia shrugs, "Not long. We came straight here cause Ella was worried about a concussion. And we weren't waiting long. So I'd say a little over an hour ago?"
You grin at her as you cross your arms and you lean back against the wall. "Yeah that was me. I saw you in the waiting room and said we better get you out of there before people realized who you were".
Alessia nearly chokes on air. "You know who I am?" Already blushing at the fact that the pretty girl knows who she is.
"Yeah my niece adores you guys". You give her a sly grin. "I brought her to some of the Euro games. We were there when you scored you backheel". You rolled your eyes lightly but judging by your smile it was playful, "After that my niece wouldn't shut up about you after that. So thanks for that".
Alessia bites the inside of her cheek but that doesn't nothing to stop the smile blooming on her face. "Sorry about that".
You shrug, "It's fine. I guess there's worst things to talk about than a pretty girl".
Alessia can't do anything but blush unable to say anything in fear of coming off like an idiot. But she's saved when Ella barges into the room again.
"So what's the verdict Doc?" She asks oblivious to the conversation she interrupted.
You give her an amused look before focusing back on the blonde. "Well it looks like you are very lucky Miss Russo". Your arms cross and Alessia has to force herself to focus on what your saying rather than how look they look in your scrub top. "You have no signs of concussion. And the wound isn't deep so that's good which means we could probably do strips rather than stitches".
Alessia nods along but it's Ella who answers. "That's great news Less". Alessia nods along thankful that it's not serious enough for her to miss the end of the season.
"Perfect. I'll get you sorted out and then you'll be good to go" you nod as you move around collecting what you need.
Ella throws her thumb over her shoulder, "I'll give Mark a call and update him".
Alessia nods and waves her off as the midfielder once again leaves.
Alessia once again fixates on you as you put back on gloves and begin to work on her wound. "So you came to the Euro's games?"
You smile your eyes flickering down to hers briefly before focusing back on the task at hand. "Yeah my niece it seems inherited my love for football and her mother doesn't see the appeal so I took her to the games".
"Unfortunately I was working for the final though so her mom had to take her" you sighed as you gently put on the first steri strip to hold the wound closed and allow it to heal. "But I got a blow by blow from my niece about how amazing the Lionesses were".
Alessia smiles seeing how you talk about your niece. "How old is she?"
You smile grows thinking of your niece, "Lucy is eight and in love with anything Football and will probably combust when she hears I met you today".
Alessia goes to nod but immediately stops when you tisk her and hold her head in place as to not disrupt her work. What you didn't notice was how you stopped her by cupping her face which immediately stopped Alessia in her tracks.
Alessia clears her throat as she tries to deflect from her definitely reddening face. "Who does she support? The blonde asks with a grin.
You pause briefly to grin amusedly at her, "Why are you going to ask for someone else to treat you if I say I'm a city fan?"
Alessia despite knowing (and also hoping) that you were joking can't help but play along. "Maybe" she says cheekily as she smiles at you.
You scoff but can't help but let the smile slip through as you pull off your gloves. "Well then. Too bad cause I'm already done".
You hold up a small mirror, "If you look closely I spelt out City in the strips".
Alessia rolls her eyes. "Haha very funny".
"I know I am" you quip back with a wink and a grin.
Before either one of you can continue your banter Ella enters the room again. "Well that's you all sorted out". You look at Alessia, "Someone will be by to tell you anything you need to know about looking after them for the next day or so. And they'll also get you sorted with all the discharge work".
Alessia nods and smiles at you losing all her words at that moment.
"Well I hope you have a nice evening and don't have anymore fights with a couch" you tease with earns a snort from Ella.
"No promises" Alessia quips back which shocks her friend but ignores it for the moment.
You smirk as you head to leave the room, "Good luck with the rest of your season".
Alessia bites her lip seeing your about to leave. But she needs to know. "Wait!" She starts which honestly scares her best friend not expecting it. She takes a breath as you stop and turn around in the doorway. "What club do you support?"
You shrug playfully crossing your arms once more as Alessia forces herself to keep focused on your eyes. "I am a fan of the Gunners" you say as Ella lets out a loud groan. But right before you leave you wink at her. "But I don't know. United have been looking pretty good recently".
And with that she leaves not notice the love sick look Alessia is left with as you walk away to carry on with your day.
Alessia can't help but stare after you hoping to catch another glimpse but it seems her best friend is focused on other things. 
"What does she mean recently? We're always good!"
***
Two days.
It had been two days and you still consumed Alessia's mind. So much so that when she went back to the hospital under the guise that she just wanted to be sure she was fully fit to play again she couldn't help but ask for you.
Which she was only disappointed to hear that you weren't working today.
And thus her plan failed.
So for the past 2 days she has had to suffer Ella telling the entire team how she slipped and ended up going to the hospital and got flustered when she had to explain everything to you.
Thankfully she didn't know that the real reason she was so flustered was because of you, so she was saved from the constant teasing from her teammates.
A small mercy she supposed.
So when she told the team that she couldn't go to practice because she had to get checked up at the hospital it was really a plan to hopefully see you.
And if she could manage it maybe ask you out.
Only she didn't consider that it would be your day off when she thought of it. Which meant she was now alone with the day to herself.
So she went for a run.
She hadn't been training since she had split her head. And she was starting to get restless from not doing anything and decided a small run wouldn't hurt anyone.
She was only gone an hour before she was coming back up to her house. But as she was coming up to her house she started to slow down as her attention is on the massive moving truck.
Curious as always Alessia alows down to try and get a peak and what kind of stuff her new neighbors has.
But of course as if the universe was punishing her for being nosey. Her foot catches on the curb sending her tumbling. Alessia staggers forward her hand held out to try and catch herself. And right as she's sure she's about to eat the pavement, someone catches her.
"I'm starting to think you're doing this on purpose..."
Alessia immediately perked up as her head snapped towards the voice.
"Like I mean there's no possible way someone could be this clumsy without it being on purpose" you tease as you grin down at her.
Alessia was too in shock to even respond as she just dumbly stared at you.
But it seems that you catch her stare as you raise an eyebrow at her with a teasing smirk. "Or maybe you just wanted another excuse to come see me at the hospital?"
Alessia was sure that her face was as red as the jersey she wore. "I uh I don't..."
But you just shook your head as your crossed your arms as Alessia busied herself with straightening herself up. "I'm new but I'm already the talk of the nurses station apparently". You tilt your head at her, "I suppose that what happens when one of the Lionesses comes in and asks for you by name".
Alessia bites her lip knowing that she's been caught. "Uh...". But when she sees the smile your trying to contain she relaxes even the tiniest bit. "Okay yeah. I did".
You hold you hand to your chest as your face morphs in mock shock. "God I'm honored. Truly!"
Alessia scoffs lightly but smiles in good humor. "Well maybe I should be the one that's worried" Alessia teases trying to turn it back on you. "I mean your the one that's following me".
But it just earns a smirk from you as you lean up against the moving truck. "Actually no I'm not". You jut a thumb at the truck, "I'm using my day off to move into my new place".
Alessia's eyes nearly bugged out of her head. Her mouth dropped as you giggled at her.
"You...your going to be living....here?" Alessia says as she points to the apartment building right beside of them. When you nodded, her smile seemed to widen.
"Judging by your reaction, I guess I'm talking to my new neighbor?" You ask.
Alessia just smiles widely at you, "Hi".
You chuckle but can't help but notice how cute the forward is.
This seems to enbolden her as her chest puffs out a bit in confidence. "Do you need a hand with all your stuff? She asks as she leans over to look into the truck.
You lick your lips as you bite your lip before shaking your head. "No...I couldn't ask you to do that. I'm sure that's not how you would want to spend your day off".
But Alessia is quick to wave you off as she moves to grab one of the boxes by the edge of the truck. "Not at all! Seriously it's fine. Beside it looks like you already have most of it done. I'll just help you with the last of it". She flashes you a smile which makes your heart soar. "Consider it a thank you for helping me out the other day".
Now it's your turn to blush at the praise while Alessia internally cheers at the achievement.
"Well it's nice to know it's healing up nicely" you say as you brush some of the loose hairs out of her face to have a look at the old wound.
And if Alessia wasn't scared of dropping your stuff, she definitely would have dropped the box.
It seems like you catch yourself in the moment as you blush again before backing up thinking you were making the blonde uncomfortable.
You clear your throat as you grab another box and nod in thanks. "Thank you".
Alessia smiles back at you as she nods her head towards the building, "Lead the way".
You lead the way up to your apartment but of course the lift isn't working meaning the two of you have to trudge up and down the stairs with the last remaining boxes. It took about another 5 trips but the two of you got the job done.
"Thank you so much for all your help" you thank her as you flop back down to the couch.
Thankfully that came with the apartment so it was one of the few things you didn't need to carry up the stairs.
She takes a deep breath as she puts down the box on the ground with the others. "It's no problem" she says as she drops down onto the couch with you.
You give her a look, "Really it was". You playfully groan as your head drops onto the back of the couch. "I don't think I would have managed another trip up and down those stairs".
"The benefit of having a professional athlete as a neighbor?" She offers with a smile.
The two of you fall into laughter before you check the time. "Well the least I could do for taking up your evening is offer you dinner". You see her open her mouth most likely to argue but you just take her hand which was in-between you on the couch.
"It will be no hassle at all and I was planning on getting a takeout anyways. I have nothing in the fridge and even if I did I don't think I have the energy to make anything" you add. It seems that Alessia contemplate for a second before sighing and nodding.
"Great!" You smile as you squeeze her hand before getting up from the couch. "Pizza okay with you?"
Alessia nods also standing up. "Yeah that's perfect". She points her thumb over her shoulder at the door. "I'm just going to go freshen up is that alright?"
You nod before realizing you probably need to do the same. "Yeah that's fine. I probably need to do the same". You peel your shirt off you only realizing now how it was slicked with sweat.
Alessia laugh at the disgusted look on your face to which you roll your eyes. "What apartment are you? Will I come up to you when it's here or...."
Alessia nearly winces thinking how messy her apartment is right now. "No. Uh I'm right about you. And I won't take long so I'll come back down".
You grin as you nod, "Alright but if your not down in time I'll just bang the brush on the roof".
Alessia laughs as she walks out of the apartment. The moment she hit the stairs and knew you couldn't see she bolted up the stairs. Knowing how long it took her to get ready, she had the quickest shower of her life before rushing around to get ready to meet you back downstairs.
But she made sure to grab something before heading back down again.
She knocked on the door as she rocked on the balls of her feet waiting. You opened the door with a smile as you nodded you head in, "Perfect timing it was just delivered there".
She smiled as she followed you in as she hid the bag she brought drop beside the couch as the two of you tucked into the pizza.
There never seemed to be a lull between you. The conversation just flowed effortlessly. As much as you tried to turn the conversation to Alessia, she made it clear that she was interesting in your life as she asked about being a doctor. She was also surprised to find out you were a former field medic.
Although that did explain your physique.
But you remained adamant that you wanted to learn more about her as well. But not the superstar Alessia Russo. The questions were aimed more towards how she go into soccer as well as her family. Not wanting to pry into her professional life in fear of overstepping.
It was so easy to talk to her. So easy that you didn't realize how late it was getting.
"God I can't believe it's 10:30" you say shocked when you see the time. Due to it being the summer, the sun always set late which always gave off the false illusion of time to you.
"Yeah it's crazy" Alessia nods as she puts the wine glasses over in the sink.
It was only as you were cleaning up did you realize the bag that Alessia had hid when she came back. "What's this?"
Alessia blushes as she scratched the back of her head. "Uh well it's kinda the real reason I came to the hospital to see you?" She motions for you to open the bag only to find a Manchester United jersey with her name and number on the back signed.
"I thought that you could give it to your niece?" She said slowly before adding, "And I was thinking that whenever your free I could get you tickets to a game?" Her eyes widen, "Only if you would want to now! I wouldn't want to force you to!"
You shake your head as your heart once again soars at the sweet gesture. "This is amazing Alessia. Your too kind. Thank you".
But you smirk as you couldn't help but tease her. "What about me though?"
She tilts her head at you and you have to hold yourself back from audibly awing at how cute she is. It almost resembles a puppy to you.
"What? No jersey for me?" You ask wiggling your eyebrows at her letting you know your teasing.
But she seemingly plays along with you. "I didn't know if I would be able to convince you to wear it. Seeing as your a Gunners Girl".
You let out a little laugh as you moves towards her. Most people would be intimidated by the height difference. But you were used to it in your years with the army and had grown used to tougher situations. "Well I mean it would take some convincing I mean..."
By the way your eyes had flickered down from her eyes to her lips and back up again, Alessia took that as her sign.
"Maybe a date?" Alessia chances as she hopes she didn't read the situation wrong. "Would convince you I mean?"
You bite your lip but it does nothing to hide the smile on your face. "I mean" you start with a grin. "It would have to be a pretty amazing date with someone pretty special". You wink at her, "I mean I don't wear just anyone's jersey you know?"
Alessia smiled at your banter. "Well I hear that number 23 for United is pretty good".
You nod with a smile, "Hmm I heard that too". You tilt your head up at her. "How about we settle this with a little wager then?"
"I'm listening" Alessia agrees.
"Well if that number 23 can score again in their upcoming game against Arsenal...then I guess I'll agree to going on a date with you".
Alessia couldn't help but feel both competitive and giddy. "You should know that she has a good track record for scoring against Arsenal" she challenges raising an eye at you.
But you just nod subtly licking your lips as you look at her before looking back up at those gorgeous sky blue eyes and breath out.
"That's what I'm counting on".

see you - ona battle
Tumblr media
She was walking with Lucia to a coffee shop that was next to the training ground. Their tradition to get a coffee before any trip with the team had been kept for another while. Her feet moving quickly under her as they both loudly laughed at something Lucia said. They made it to the cafe and get into the queue to order. Lucia pushes Ona out of the way so she can order first laughing at the girl who just curses back at her as she looks at her phone to answer her family groupchat about the match later on today.
“Hi!” she hears beamed at her, she looks up to be met with the most beautiful smile she had ever seen. “How can i help you today?” you ask the brunette who was just standing there. “Could i, uh, get a iced coffe?” she asks stuttering over her words. “Of course! What is the name?” you ask while typing it into the ipad in front of you. “Ona.” she states quickly. “Thats a pretty name.” you say lightly to her looking up at her through your eyelashes. “Thank you.” she shyly says. “Alright, that will be €2.50.” She taps her card on the machine without saying another word as you hand the coffe cup to the barista to make the drink. “Thanks.” she says smiling at you. “No problem! See you around.” you say back to the brunette girl, Ona.
The next time Ona gets to see you is only two days later. She had just departed from the bus that they were travelling on and had called an uber to bring her home, to kill the time before it got to her she decided to just get a coffee and sit down. The cafe was very empty which was weird considering it was lunch time in a busy business area.
“Hi!” she hears a weirdly familiar voice chirp from behind the counter your beautiful eyes gleaming at her with excitement. “Hello.” she smiles back at you immediately recognising you and taking im your beauty. “How are you Ona?” you ask the girl who was just staring at you in shock, how had you remembered her? She thought she was crazy for not shutting up about how pretty you were on the bus. “Im great thanks! How are you?” she asks once she snaps out of her little moment. “Im really good thank you” you start with a wink “what can i get you today? Same as last time?” You had remembered her order. “Yes, yes please.” she stuttered out in shock. You grap a coffe cup and quickly scribble what she would guess to be her order onto it with her name. “€2.50 once again.” you say laughing at the girl who was rooting through her pockets to find her card. After about twenty seconds of her looking she sheepishly grabs her phone that was now resting on the counter and removed the case to take out the card as you smile at the pink dusting on her cheeks. She taps the card, once again silently, and wishes you a quick “goodbye” that you follow with a small “see you, ona.” Ona being too embarrassed to talk to you after that. She quickly grabs her drink once her name is called out and practically sprints for the door as you watch her every move. She grabs the handle roughly and bolts out the door. Her legs are moving quicker than she can think and before she knows it she had walked to a nearby bench to sit down finally taking a breath.
Why did it bother her so much to be embarrassed in front of you? She just met you, if you could even call this meeting eachother. Deep down she knew there was something different about you. When she looked at you she could almost see you lying beside her in bed laughing with her, dancing in her sitting room to any song you would like. She could see you in the family section of any stadium with her name across your back. She was being ridiculous, but little to her knowledge you were panicking back in the shop. Had you taken it too far with the heart beside her name and your number scrawled under it. Is that why she freaked out and ran away? Did she think it was weird you were making such a big move on her after seeing her for about a minute in total beforehand.
She finally takes a drink of the coffee that she had forgotten was in her hand. She ended up cancelling the uber needing a walk to clear her head of her thoughts of you. She quickly finished the drink looking for somewhere to discard the plastic cup. She passes by a bin and goes to throw it into it finally noticing the heart at the end of her name. She smiles cheeks turning pink once again as she moves the cup around in her hands. Her breath hiches. A phone number. Your phone number in small writing under her name.
She quickly takes out her phone and puts the phone number into it and saving it as a contact. Her fingers, that were slightly shaking, press down on the off button on her phone. She had to think about what she was going to message you. She couldn’t risk embarrassing herself for a second time in one day. A few hours later that consisted of phone calls to different teammates for advice on what to say, they all thought she was being ridiculous but wouldn’t dare to say it to the girl, she finally agreed to just say ‘hey coffee girl, its ona x’. Her argument that this was bed was qucikly shut down by Mapi who just scolded her in Spanish for not having messaged you yet.
Your phone suddenly buzzes pulling your attention away from the television that was playing some random reality show.
unknown number: hey coffe girl, its ona x 20:44
At this sight you jump off your couch holding you phone in your hands smiling at the notification. She had messaged you. She didnt think you were weird. You save her number in your phone as “ona 💞” and begin to type out your response.
y/n 🤍 : so you knew what the numbers on the cup were all this time??? 20:47
She laughs under her breath at your response.
ona 💞 : had to ask a few people to figure it out 🤷‍♀️ 20:48
You shake your head at her answer smiling at your phone. The two of you continue going back and forth until about three in the morning when you accidentally fall asleep while waiting for her to answer. The sun over your face wakes you up from your deep sleep, you go to grab your phone to see what time it is while thanking yourself for saying that you wouldn’t be working today. 10:24 not bad considering you were up fairly late the night before. You unlock your phone and immediately take notice of the only notification you care about, Onas.
ona 💞: no it honestly is idek why people say its bad 03:57
She said in reference to the conversation you had just been having. Thankfully agreeing with you on her opinion of the new nextflix show that had just come out.
ona 💞 : im going to guess you fell asleep, goodnight y/n <3 04:24
You read the message carefully. Checking the times that both of them had been sent. She had stayed up waiting for you to answer. Your heart swelled at the thought.
y/n 🤍: yes sorry i did!! 10:28
y/n 🤍 : good morning ona <3 10:28
A giddy smile takes over your face as you begin rereading the messages from the night before, swooning over the spanish nicknames she would call you throughout. You feel your phone buzz in your hand as you see the much too familiar name flash up before your eyes, ‘Ona 💞’.
ona 💞 : dont worry piccola, good morning <3 10:42
ona 💞 : are you free today?? 10:43
You almost combust at this message this certainly wasnt what you were expecting when you took up the barista job less than a week ago but you don’t believe you would want it to be any other way.

So this is in no way meant to be some kind of saviorism post, but after yesterday when people were talking about diversity in women's Hockey I got thinking, and then I saw the photo posted of Arsenal's roster. I was honestly a little shocked I hadn't ever really thought too deeply about the diversity of a team but that is most definitely due to me being white and not having to think of that. So I looked deeper ( I also want to say now that my numbers may not be a hundred percent correct, you can't always know someone's ethnicity or racial identity but I have done my best to look and be as sure as I can). Arsenal while not the worst at diversity is second to the bottom with Everton having as far as I can tell ZERO players of color. I understand the argument of well they are in England. But when other teams like Manchester City are able to diversify their rosters it doesn't really feel fair to use that excuse when it comes to teams like Arsenal, especially as they have similar financial standings. I just was super caught off by this, I would personally think a team would benefit from looking as broadly around the world as they can but it seems some teams don't see a necessity in individuals who have lived varying lives, and I guess it's up to you to figure out how you feel about that. I am happy to look at NWSL teams, I'm not oblivious to the fact that the team I follow is itself super white.
So below will be the list in order from lowest to highest percentage. I should have been doing homework but I've done this instead.
Everton - 0 percent
Arsenal - 8 percent
Leicester City - 9 percent
Bristol City - 11 percent
Liverpool - 13 percent
Aston Villa - 15 percent
Brighton and Hove Albion - 18 percent
Manchester United - 21 percent
West Ham United - 23 percent
Tottenham Hotspur - 25 percent 
Chelsea - 27 percent
Manchester City - 30 percent

We're a team. Always - Alessia Russo x reader
Alessia loved football. She loves the fact that she got to do what she loved as a job. It was even more special to her that she was playing for her childhood club.
It was one of the things you had bonded over.
You like Alessia had grown up in a United household. Both of your families were massive Manchester United fans. And there was no doubt that your hearts bled Devil red.
Which meant you were one of the few people who understood her secret heartbreak hidden from the public throughout the season.
You were by her side the entire season as the United management gave her the run around. You stood with her brother as you both reassured her that she deserved more than how they were treating her. You were by her side reminding her of her worth every time she had a moment of doubt.
It got to the point where you were starting to become frustrated on her behalf seeing how she was being treated. Especially after seeing the way she's been playing recently.
So when Katie picked up an injury, Manchester United saw an opportunity to quell your rage.
When news broke of you being named Captain, everyone was delighted. You remember your parents calling you crying saying how proud they were. And how your teammates were so excited for you.
But no one more excited than Alessia.
Honestly it just showed the type of person she was. That even when the club is messing around with her contract negotiations she was happy to celebrate your childhood dream with you.
She was truly perfect.
She was there when after all the celebrations were done, you couldn't help but confess that you felt they only gave you the captaincy to try and sate your anger towards how they were handling Alessia's situation.
She sat by your side like you had with her many times before and reminded you of how great a player you were. That United were lucky to have someone like you representing not just the badge but leading them out onto the pitch.
For every moment of doubt you had about being enough to lead the team, she was there with soft words of encouragement and reassurances as well as simple touches and kisses to distract your from your thoughts.
The trust between you was incredible. And everyone knew it. They saw in how the two of you played together.
But it was only your closest friends that really saw how much you loved each other.
How without even saying anything you were able to communicate with each other. The small things you do for each other. How you were able to calm each other with just a single touch. How you were each other biggest supporters and greatest confidants.
You didn't even expect her to tell you about her contract negotiations or the offers she had coming in. Not wanting to be biased or unfair in anyway.
But she did.
And when you asked her why. She just shrugged and told you that she loved you and this was going to impact you too.
It was the giant elephant in the room. But the both of you knew that Alessia's impending contact negotiations would have an impact on your relationship. As with things not looking good with United, you both knew that she would have to start looking elsewhere.
Rumours were thrown around without a hint of caution. And as much as you tried to play it off, Alessia knew they knawed away at you.
Alessia knew you kinda freaked when you heard clubs from the US were looking for her.
Which is why she made sure to keep you in the loop. If anything the two of you laughed at the different theories and rumours being thrown out by fans and speculators.
Which is why you wonder how everything turned to shit so quickly.
When the news of your dad suddenly becoming sick hit you didn't know what to do.
Alessia knew the second you told her that you were in the process of shutting down. She just didn't expect that you would also shut her out as well. Ever since you were young, it had always been the two of you. You were always a team you handled everything together.
She only really saw you at training. And even then you would bolt right afterwards without so much as a look at your girlfriend. Rushing to get back to your family.
You wanted to keep it a private affair. You didn't want it plastered everywhere. You didn't want your father to be plastered everywhere simply because her father was dying.
Because he was so much more than that.
To you he was your best friend. The first eyes you ever looked into. Your greatest protector. He was your first ever supporter for anything. He was the one who fought every homophobic or sexist parent who started calling you slurs at your football matches when you were younger.
You wouldn't let the tabloids reduce him to just your father because he was so much more than that to you.
So it was mutually agreed that the family would stay close. Nearly every evening everyone was gather and just be together. It would only be later that you would regret not bringing Alessia. As you didn't know what to say when your father asked for her.
He passed away the next day.
And while you were devastated. You and your family took comfort in the fact that everyone was there. Everyone was gathered around. You got to have one last family dinner. He gave you one last goodnight kiss and went to sleep. He went quietly and peacefully.
You had isolated yourself in your family home. You and your mother clinging to each other while your older brother took charge of organizing everything.
But there was only so much you could separate yourself from the world.
As after spending days with your family. You finally turned on your phone to an absolute shit storm.
First of all you smiled softly at all the messages your girlfriend had left you. Constantly checking up on you and making sure you knew she was there for you.
But you noticed how the messages had dwindled.
And then you noticed all the new articles and the social media notifications.
News had finally dropped that Alessia was infact leaving Manchester United at the end of the season. But what really sent you off was all the fan speculations.
Fans posting rude and abusive comments towards Alessia for leaving. If that wasn't enough some people had the audacity to post rumours about the two of you splitting up due to you being cold and leaving training early and not being seen together lately. Suggesting that you were obviously furious at her for leaving the club.
You apologize to your mother but the second you explained the situation she practically pushed you out the door.
You rushed home only to remember that she would probably be at the stadium for a weight session. You redirected your course to the training centre. Only to be swamped by reporters.
You blocked them out as you tried to make your way to the centre but that was until one question caught your ear.
"Does this mean the end of you and Alessia?"
You stopped moving causing them to come to a crashing stop as you glared at who you think asked that absurd question.
"First of all what the hell does that have to do with any of you? And second of all how dare you". You glared at all the reporters, "You think that our relationship is that weak that I'll leave her just because she knew what she was worth and had to go to a different club to finally get what she deserves".
Your eyes softened thinking about the blonde. "Alessia is the best person I know and she deserves a lot more than last minute contact offers and while United might be my club. She's my heart. She's always going to come first. No matter what colours she wears".
You shake your head as you drag a hand through your hair as you try to make your way back into the building. But you are once again stopped.
"But why have you been away so often then? You haven't been seen together for at least a week? Why have you been away from public eye?"
Your glare once again hardened as you whip back around and for a split second thinking about taking his equipment and smashing it to pieces.
"Excuse me for taking some time for myself". You straightened yourself like your father always taught you for moments like these. "I was with family. I was busy grieving". "Not that it's any of your business" you say coldly before shouldering your way into the building making sure to slam the door behind you.
You fly into the weight room only for Ella to immediately go to you. "She's with the physio".
Your eyes widen in panic but Ella once again cuts you off. "Don't worry nothing serious. Just her leg felt a little tight". You nod and send her a small thank you before going to the physio's room.
You peaked your head and smile softly seeing Alessia sitting up on the bench swinging her legs like a child waiting for the physio.
You knock lightly on the door which draws her attention. She looks over with a bored expression but that quickly changes when she sees your face. Her face lights up with her big megawatt smile and her eyes seem to glimmer in a way it only does when your around. "Y/n!" She cheers.
You quickly make your way across to her before she has a chance to jump down from the bench.
"Hey Darling" you smile as you brush some loose hair behind her ears.
"Hi" she replied shyly almost pruning under your affection. She didn't know how much she missed you until now.
You rub your hand up and down her thigh, "Is everything okay?"
She gulps hard but she nods trying to play it off with a forced smile. "Yeah yeah all good".
You fix her with a look, "Lessi..."
She lets out a sigh as her smile fades away revealing her frown and teary eyes. Small whimpers slip through as you bring her in for a hug let her grip you tightly as you play with the baby hairs at the nape of her neck.
Your hold on her tightens as she starts to sob against your neck. You hold for as she cries whispering soft reassurances in between gentle kisses.
Once her sobs begin to subside, you lean down and press a gentle kiss to her neck. "Tell me what's wrong Darling".
She nuzzles into you further as she sniffles, "It's just...". She takes a deep breath as you plant kisses all the way up and down the side of her head. "Ever since they announced that I'm leaving I've been getting all these messages. And the fans have been saying all kinds of stuff".
"What kind of stuff" you say gently as you brush some stray tears off her face.
She bites her lip as her eyes cast downwards. It wasn't until you tilt her head up by her chin that she actually looks at you. "That they're mad that I'm leaving. That if I really loved the club that much I wouldn't leave" she says. She let out a small sniffle as her voice cracks. "That you wouldn't love me anymore cause I'm leaving".
You could practically feel your heart break in your chest as the love of you life starts to cry once again.
You wrap her up in your arms again. "Less" you sigh in her ear, "I love you. But how could you ever believe that?" You pull back just enough as you brush away her tears with your thumb. You cup her face in your hands as you look directly into her eyes.
"Less... I've been in love with you since we were 15. You are my first and only love. There will never be anyone for me other than you". Your frown lightly, "How could you believe that I would ever give you up for something as small as moving club".
She looks away not liking that she's upset you. "It's just..." She sighed as she wipes her nose off her sleeve. "It's just we've been distance lately and I guess the more I heard them the more I believed it".
You sigh knowing that she was right and it was entirely your fault.
You close your eyes as you tilt your head back before looking back at your blonde. "I know I'm sorry". You take her hands in yours, "I know I haven't been the best lately".
She squeezes your hands, "It's just we usually talk. We usually handle this stuff together". Her eyes shine as she looked up at you. "We never shut each other out. You have never shut me out".
You gulp hard with a small nod, "I...I know". Now it's your turn to cast your eyes downwards. "It's just....when I got the news about my dad...I didn't know what to do".
There was a small silence between you knowing you were still raw. You still haven't fully come to terms that your dad wasn't around anymore.
"He called me you know?" She said as soft as humanly possible. But it seems that didn't stop you from whipping your head up at her. "He called me to make sure I look after you. That he wanted you to remember all the good times together and to keep living life like it should be". She lets out a sad laugh, "And here you are looking after me instead".
You smile softly but she could see that it was still pained. "Yeah I regret not bringing you with me" you admit, "They were all asking for you".
But Alessia shakes her head, "No. It was just for the family. It was for you guys to say goodbye".
You nod with her, "Exactly". "Less you are family to me". You squeeze her leg lightly, "While it might not be official yet and I fully intend to correct that in the future". You can see the blonde finally smile and you can feel you heart lighten. "But you are family Less. With or without a ring".
Alessia looks at your for a second before she pulls you in for a hug. Her arms wrapping around your neck tightly. "God I love you" she whispers into your neck.
You squeeze her back kissing her cheek. "I love you too". You let a second pass.
"But not enough to wear an Arsenal jersey even with your name on it for you...."
The two burst out laughing as Alessia pulls away smacking you on the arm before drying her face. "Your an asshole" she says weakly knowing that was the furthest from the truth.
"I know" you grin before nudging your nose against hers. "But I'm your asshole".
She nods slightly with a small smile. "Yeah". Before she takes your jaw in her hands and brings you in for a soft kiss.
So you stand there in between her legs in the middle of the physio's room trading soft kisses as your hands anchor yourself on her waist and she pulls you closer by wrapping her legs around your waist.
It's only when she pulls away and giggles as you go to chase down her lips again but she stops you with a hand to your chest.
"What?" You whine as she leans just beyond your reach.
She giggles again but your just happy to see her smiling and happy again. "I think it's better we stop now before we get caught....again".
You throw your head back with a groan as she lets out a loud laugh. "It was one time!"
"I'm pretty sure we scared Lucia for life" Alessia laughs before you join her thinking back to Lucia's face when she walked in on the two of you in a somewhat similar situation to now in a certain state of undress.
As both of your laughter subsides, you peck the end of Alessia's nose smiling when you see her scrunch her face at that action. "We continue this at home then?" You ask patting her side.
Alessia nods with a wide smile on her face.
"Yeah. Yeah let's go home".

flour - alessia russo
Tumblr media
A large hand scratches your stomach lightly the girl whos hand it is hoping that it will wake you up gently. She hears her stomach grumble at her once again telling her she needed to eat something. The night before she hadn’t had anything for dinner because as she quoted “You were more than enough.” as her lips began to trace further down your body. A sigh left the blondes lips as she decided that she had no choice but to wake you up as you were lying on her right arm while holding her hand, keeping her securely in place. “y/n, baby?” she whispered quietly into your hear not wanting to startle you. You begin to move slightly and push yourself further into Alessias hold. Your eyes slightly open as you look at the girl. “Its dark.” you mumble, almost being unheard if it wasnt the middle of the night, while pointing to the window. Lessi laughs at you and your sleepy state as you just look at her with your eyes half lidded. “Sleep lessi” you whisper while turning around in her arms and resting your head in the crook of her neck. “Im so hungry..” she trails off as you suddenly shoot out of your sleep. “Alessia! I told you. You need to eat!” You say scolding her your eyebrows beginning to furrow. Alessia places her thumb to the middle of your eyebrows to try to unfurrow them. “I know. I just needed to wake you up so i could go make something. You were lying on my arm.” she says as her hand goes to grab yours in apology, the tips of her ears turning red at your authoritative voice scolding her making her feel like a little girl in getting in trouble from her mother for eating too many chocolates. You bring your hands to cup her cheeks as you caress the area beside her nose and placing a kiss to the tip of it. “Ok lets go my beauty.” you say to the girl as you begin to get out of the bed. There is a shirt on the floor that you grab to cover your form, you almost drown in the fabric it obviously being alessias. “ill be downstairs, you put on some clothes.” you say smugly punctuating your sentence with a wink as she just sits in bed watching you leave the room in shock, she had never seen you get out of bed so quickly.
The sound of the stairs creeking pulls you out of the trance of being on your phone as you place it down onto the counter. Your blonde is wearing a pair of black shorts that show off her beautifully tanned legs and a tank top that let your gaze fall to her toned arms. Her arms. The arms that would protectively wrap around your waist if you spoke to anyone that wasn’t her. The arms that never let you sleep without them around you. The arms that a few hours prior lifted you onto the cool counter leaving you gasp at the sudden contact with the cold. The arms that moved your hair out of her way as she kissed and sucked at your neck leaving a dark bruises behind. The arms that slipped under your shorts to tease you that little bit more. The arms that were now wrapped around you pulling you closer to her body, seeking your warmth. This touch was different to the one from earlier it wasn’t eager or rushed, it was calm and gentle. Leaving you swoon with how she treated you like fine china, if her thoughts weren’t focused on how your body responded to her touch.
“So less, what do you want to eat?” you question placing your hands over your girlfriend’s manicured ones. “I would say you but i’ll just get in trouble..” she trails off as you push yourself out of her firm grip looking at her with what she would describe as your ‘disappointed teacher face’. “shut up.” you whisper to her as she just laughs at you. “What do you want?” you repeat once again to pry the answer the blonde was keeping to herself. “Dont give out to me.. but i want pizza.” she says while looking at her hands. “You have got to be joking Alessia.” you say slightly laughing at the blonde, but your girl should always get what she wants so you give in. “Alright we better get cooking then.” you say after a few seconds while pulling on her arm to guide her over to the cabinet with all the ingredients to make the pizza from scratch at 2:46 in the morning, but there is no where either of you would rather be in this moment. You take out the ingredients and she begins to make the dough, her arm muscles flexing as she kneaded it against the counter. You sat on the counter, your eyes glued to how her veins would pop out and how her muscles would flex with every movement. She felt your gaze on her, ear cheeks getting a pink dusting on them knowing that you were watching her.
After a few minutes of getting to admire the blonde she pulls you out of your trance asking you to get the tomato sauce, cheese and other toppings for the pizza from the fridge. You swiftly swing your legs around the island so you can hop off the other side right infront of the fridge and quickly take out the things you would need so you can get back to your favourite activity, admiring alessia russo. The items are left in front of her as you place yourself back onto the cool counter getting a front row view to your girl. She expertly puts the ingredients onto the dough that was in a perfect circle. After she put the pizza into the already preheated oven and then shifts her attention back to you, her pretty girl.
Her hands go to rest on the outside of your thighs as she pulls them to wrap around her. “Hey alexa play less’ italian playlist.” she says as she picks you up from the counter her hands slipping under your ass. ‘Amore mio’ by Frank Sark begins to play through the apartment. She moves you both around the kitchen dancing with you in her arms. Your chin goes to rest on her shoulder as your arms tighten around her neck. You place a gentle kiss behind her ear. Her arms begin to drop down placing your feet onto the tiles on the kitchen floor. She grabs one of your hands and spins you around taking in how you move to the music. After a few more minutes of dancing around the kitchen you both pull away smiling at eachother “i love dancing with you, my y/n.” she says while moving her body away from your grasp and going to grap the ingredients that were left on the counter. Due to her clumsy nature she ends up knocking over the bag of flour as she tried to pick it up with her hands already too full. It spills all over the counter she is stood frozen before your beautiful laugh takes over the room pulling her away from the dread of having to clean all of that up. “Oh my god alessia! You are so fucking clumsy!” you say between laughs while holding your stomach. She huffs back at you putting the things in her hands into their correct places in the presses.
She turns around to find you still laughing at her. “Stop laughing baby!” she wines at you. “Sorry lessi.” you say amusement still extremely evident in your tone. “Ill help clean it up my love.” you say while moving past her by placing your hands on her hips. It was here you made a mistake, she quickly grabs a handful of the flour that was spread across the counter and throws it into your face. “ALESSIA!” You yell out at the girl who had a beaming smile on her face as she lets out a breathy laugh. You quickly grab your own hand of flour and throw it at her laughing loudly once she is covered in the white powder. This continues for another few minutes until the timer on the oven goes off leaving the both of you covered in the substance just looking at eachother. “PAUSE!” she yells holding up a finger at you as you held a handful of the flour. You just laugh at her throwing it back onto the counter. She takes the pizza out and puts it on a plate to cut up for the both of you to share. You both jump up onto the four covered surface and you get even dirtier. The both of you sit there eating the food that was prepared not long before and just talking about nothing and everything at the same time.
After the pizza is completed in its entirety, Alessia eating six slices while you ate two. Once you both were finished you put the plate into the dishwasher. You went back over to your girlfriend to place a kiss to her cheek while rubbing some of the flour off her face. “Should we shower?” you ask the girl while wrapping your arms around her and nuzzling your head into the crook of her neck. “i can’t be bothered, we need to change the bedsheets anyway if we just dust ourselves off a bit more it will be fine until morning.” she says the lack of sleep starting to take a toll on her. “Good, im so tired now.” You both slowly trudge up the stairs hand in hand while whispering sweet nothings to each other. You begin to remove your tshirt as you watch Alessia follow suit. Her eyes are glued to you as you get changed into one of her Manchester United hoodies with her name and number printed on the back of it. Every time she gets to see you wearing her name makes her feel extremely emotional about the future she gets to share hopefully with you. You both get under the covers and immediately placed yourselves in each others arms. She pulls you to lie on her, her arms go to rest around your waist as your head and hands rest on her chest. “Goodnight lessi. I love you so much my beautiful girl.” you whisper after a few minutes. “goodnight, pretty girl.” she whispers back to you. She feels your breathing even out after another few minutes and this allows her to finally drift off with the prettiest girl she had ever known laying in her arms.
