Hey! I was wondering if I could do a UCLA!jessie smut? Where the reader isn’t a virgin per se but maybe has never used a strap on or anything like that and is rlly innocent and needs a hand with that stuff? If not that’s chill too😊
the way I asked that was so strange 😭
ohhhhh fuck yes.
Tumblr media
something new j.f x r
plot: Jessie wants to try something new in the bedroom and doesn't know how to tell you
warning: fluffy smut
Tumblr media
Jessie was very smart, she was very good in school and always had been. She ran laps around you, especially in Science, and as her personal girlfriend, you used it to your advantage, stealing her notes every so often and asking her questions at 2 in the morning that you knew she would answer.
Except for the last week Jessie had been distracted...
You didn't know what from, You both had to leave for the Olympics to represent your countries soon and it was your senior year, you assumed she was stressed.
You walked into her dorm with your books for science as she was stuck on her phone, an unusual sight.
"Hey" You smiled, walking in the door as the girl quickly dropped her phone, a blush spreading over her cheeks "Hey" she said after and you furrowed her brows.
You settled your books down at her desk "I saw you were off in class today so I tried really hard to take down notes, and I voice recorded sir's class so we could go over it" you explained, flipping through your pages.
"You did that for me?" Jessie asked, standing up and walking over to you, wrapping her arms around you from behind.
You looked up to her "I assumed your mind was running lately and I didn't want to add any stress" you smiled and the girl squeezed you tighter to her.
"I hadn't even realized I was doing that," Jessie said, kissing you on the cheek before checking your notes.
"They're not the best-" "I love them," Jessie said, her chin digging into your shoulder "I love you" you smiled "I love you too".
Jessie was mentally yelling at herself.
She had many friends, as well as you on the UCLA team but some were closer than others, meaning some were more invested in your relationship than others.
It wasn't until a certain Australian goalkeeper got nosy and started teasing Jessie that she came to an understanding.
It was at a party, you had gone back to the Netherlands to see your family for the weekend and Teagan had taken Jessie to a frat party, which she spent the whole time checking her phone from a message from you and drinking random drinks that her friends told her to try out of boredom.
"How are you and y/n?" Teagan asked and Jessie blushed, causing the Australian to roll her eyes playfully "We're good" Jessie replied
"Just good?" Teagan teased and Jessie groaned "what? do you want me to say we're getting married?"
"maybe"
The two girls laughed "What about you Miss I get so many girls" Jessie shot back at her friend who smirked "Oh well I leave all my 'relationships' satisfied" Jessie almost spat out her drink from laughter in disbelief "It's true" Teagan told her "especially when I bring out the strap" Teagan smirked and Jessie looked at her.
"You use a strap?"
Teagan nodded "you don't?" she asked and Jessie shook her head, shocking Teagan "really?" once again Jessie shook her head "I guess we've just never thought about it"
Teagan not long after found a girl to take home sending Jessie a large gestured wink before leaving.
Jessie's mind had been spiraling ever since.
She imagined you under her, taking in her strap for the first time, the noises you could make under her drove her crazy.
Every time you made a sound that could be equivalent to a moan, grunt or even just you saying her name softly made her have to squeeze her legs together in class. There was no way that she could pay attention in class when you constantly leaned your head back out of frustration of not getting the work, which usually Jessie would help with.
She didn't know how to bring up this new issue she had with you, she didn't know how you would react or even if you would like it. Her imagination of bending you over pieces of furniture in her dorm were driving her mad and if she asked you and you said no, she didn't know how she would react.
So maybe not telling you would be a good idea.
But now you were looking at her with a glint in your eye and she felt like she was about to combust.
"Are you okay?" You ask your girlfriend who had a small blush painted on her cheeks "yeah I'm fine" she told you but you shook your head "Are you worried for the Olympics?" you ask and the brunette shook her head "not particularly"
You nodded your head slowly, trying to read if your girlfriend was telling the truth "well if it's not the Olympics what's up?
Jessie looked at you before looking at a plastic bag she had in the corner and looked back to you.
"It is the Olympics actually"
You rolled your eyes "liar" you pointed at her chest "what it is Canada has a good chance and what if we verse each other?"
You pushed your girlfriend towards her bed "then we try our hardest, like we talked about before I went home last week" you aid calmly before she sat down, her hands resting on your waist.
"I guess I'm just frustrated" Jessie sighed, her eyes settling on the piece of skin her hands were brushing over.
You smirked, looking down on your girlfriend "sexually?"
Jessie's face burned, how did you know?, did you guess? Had you somehow read her mind and knew she wanted to pound into you until you didn't have enough energy to speak english?
well maybe that took it a bit far...
Jessie was always an over thinker.
You grabbed your girlfriends chin to look up to you "well are you?" you ask and the Canadian nodded.
"Jessie, you know you can get me into bed easily" you smirked, plopping down next to her, one of your legs wrapping around her own "I know it's just-" Jessie stopped herself as you leaned into her "what is it Jess?"
You knew you could get anything out of her by using that small nickname.
"I want to try something new" she stated softly and you sat up, an eager smile on your face "really?" you ask and she nodded "I just wasn't sure how to approach it"
You nodded, softly kissing your girlfriends lips "we have a safe place here Jess, anything we do or say stays with us" you told her and she nodded saying a small 'okay' before turning to you "can we just get into the vibe first?" she asked and you smiled nodding, softly pushing your girlfriend down into the bed before straddling her lap "like this?"
"this works" Jessie smiled before you leant down, capturing her in a kiss.
You grew wet at her words when she said she wanted to try something new, excited by the thought and intrigued.
As you kept kissing her, slightly grinding your hips into hers you felt her hand sneak up your shirt, her hands playing with your boobs since you came in your pajama's.
"I want" Jessie said as you pulled away slightly, just enough so she could get her words out "I want to fuck you with a strap?"
Jessie leaned back to see your reaction, her eyes trying to find an answer before you spoke.
You smiled before nodding "I'd like that" Jessie smiled "yeah?" and you kissed her lips again "yeah, I trust you with anything"
You saw the girl quickly look to the bag in the corner again "Did you buy one?" you ask and the girl shyly nodded "Do you want to try it tonight?" you ask and she nodded again, more eagerness in this one as you hopped off of her.
"Show me it" you said as the girl got up, grabbing the bag before sitting back down on the bed with you "having it out in the open?" you tease
"you act like you aren't the only person I let in here"
You both smiled as she pulled it out, a black harness with a fairly shaped purple strap latched onto it "My favorite colour" you praised before pulling her into a kiss.
Pulling away Jessie pointed at you "we can't go straight in" she said and you nodded "Good cause I thought that might hurt" you agreed, letting the girl switch positions with you, her on top of you now.
"Do you know how to use it?" You asked and she nodded "I uhm- I watched some video's" she cringed at her own sentance before you looked back to when you came inside "Where you watching porn before I got here?" you asked and the girl turned red "shut up" you laughed "you do love to learn" you hummed as your girlfriend leaned in "at least I can teach you now".
Your tops had been abandoned now on the floor as Jessie's lips trailed down your stomach, her fingertips, tiptoeing around your waist band before you lifted your hips, telling her to take them off which she did before spreading your legs apart.
"I think you might be more excited for this than me" she teased, kissing the insides of your thighs You looked down at her "tease me too much and I'll make you wait another night for this" you quipped and the girl laughed, her breath hitting your heat, giving you slight friction you craved "alright, alright" she said before letting her tongue run through your folds, a moan falling through your lips from the impact.
"so good" Jessie moaned from her place beneath you, slowly adding a finger in as her tongue lapped over your clit "just open up for me baby" she told you, her other hand reaching out to hold your boob, using it as a stress toy.
"You can add a second" you whined as Jessie started to increase her speed, obliging your request and adding a second "fuck Jessie" you moaned, your hand reaching out to her hair, keeping her in place as she started to curl her fingers, hitting your G spot.
You were a moaning mess, as Jessie sent you praises "good job baby, just like that" as if you were doing the hard work "Jess s'm so good" you moaned, tugging at her hair which only made her go in harder.
You felt the coil in your stomach tighten as your breaths became faster, your first orgasm building "I'm gonna-" "I know baby let it go"
It was quickly after that you came over Jessie's fingers, the girl spreading your juices all over you, preparing you.
"Fuck you are so good at that" you told Jessie who blushed, bringing you into a kiss so you could taste yourself, both of you moaning at the contact.
Jessie pulled away, standing up as you watched in anticipation of her taking off her joggers and boxers, pulling the strap up her legs before grabbing another cream out of the bag "supposed to make it go in easier" she said "Jessie I know what lube is" you smirked.
Your breath hitched as you saw your girlfriend apply it on the strap, making it look like she was stroking her own cock, turning you on ten times more than you already were.
When Jessie climbed back onto the bed she looked down at you "not even sure we needed that baby, you are so wet" she gawked and you smiled, pulling her down into another kiss "just for you".
Jessie positioned herself with the tip to go inside of you, holding the strap with one hand and your hand with the other.
"Okay big stretch" she said as she slowly went into you, your breath hitching as you squeezed her hand before she fully went in.
She left it in for a moment, leaving small kisses around your chest "you're doing so well for me" she told you as you felt normal again "you ready?" she asked and you nodded.
Jessie slowly moved in and out as your eyes rolled back out of pleasure "Jessie please" you whined as you decided you were ready to go faster which she did "fuck" she breathed out, also getting pleasure off of it.
When Jessie decided to pull out further before entering back into you, you moaned loudly, sending Jessie into a high as she did it again, harder and faster as you were practically screaming out her name.
For the first time Jessie was happy she had an alone dorm near nobody else's.
Your nails were scratching along her back as you both were moaning each others names "fuck Jessie I'm coming" you whined, your pitch going higher as she pounded into you harder, her name falling off your tongue with profanities until you finally snapped, Jessie slowed down her movements letting you get off your high before you pulled away, her slipping out of you easily.
Both of you were capturing your breaths with smiles before Jessie pulled the strap off her body and cuddled into you.
When you finally got your breath back you pulled your girlfriend into a kiss "Jessie" you said and the girl hummed
"The next time you want to try something new, don't wait a week to tell me"

y/n giggled again as her girlfriend pressed multiple kisses to her cheek, the brunette keeping her arms tight around y/n's waist as the cheerleader tried once more to slide from the bed.
"Jess!" y/n laughed aloud, the girl huffing as y/n tried to push, knowing full well that her girlfriend was stronger than her by a fair amount.
"Stayyy." Jessie whined, trying to pull y/n tighter to her body
"I have practice." y/n denied, Jessie shaking her head against her shoulder.
"It's a Saturday." Jessie countered, her voice muffled from the fact it was pressed into y/n's shoulder.
"And I have to go." y/n says. Jessie's arms squeeze tighter in response and y/n chuckles. "My gorgeous girl." y/n hums, pressing kisses to Jessie's head.
The soft feeling on her lips makes Jessie hum and y/n's hand begins to scratch down the footballers back, at the sensation Jessie is asleep in seconds, the girl falling back to the bed and her grip loosening.
y/n smiles at her girlfriend softly and slides from the bed, the girl pulls on her cheer uniform, trying to be as quiet as possible as she moves to the connecting bathroom in her room - which she was very grateful to have.
y/n quickly applies her make-up, only a light coat because she couldn't be bothered with anything else, then once she looks less like the walking dead, she grabs a hoodie (of Jessie's), and leaves a note on the side.
'love you jess.'
y/n then creeps from the room, carefully closing the door as she spots her friend Amber waiting for her with an amused grin being sent her way.
"Jessie?" Amber asks knowingly as they walk from the building and into the bright morning sun.
"Oh yes. Wouldn't let me get out of bed." y/n chuckles as she tilts her face toward the crisp morning sun which made her smile in slight relief, her mind slowly waking up quicker now she was outside.
"What got her asleep again?" Amber asks.
"Back scratches and hope." y/n tells her friend, the girl laughing as they walk into practice, most greeting the co-captains and third years with bright 'hello's'.
"It's too early for your youthful glow guys." Amber whines, and the group laughs.
"Okay, It's the girl's game tomorrow, it's a big one. It's against USC." y/n explains and there is an excited noise which echoes from everyone.
"The football guys will be there in support, most will, so we better keep these legs high and arms straight, yes?" Amber asks, she was the more hard-ass of the two.
"Right, we'll start with a warm up." y/n says and the group split into space to prepare.
°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。
y/n let out a long sigh as the group took a rest she looked through her bag and groaned at the realisation that she had left her water bottle back in her room.
They had been working for nearly two hours now and she was gasping for a drink, but of course, in her rush, she left it sat on her bedside table, next to the still sleeping Jessie.
"Looking for this?" A voice asks.
y/n turns, grinning at her now awake and dressed girlfriend, and the water bottle which she held in her hands, the green bottle refilled with water via Jessie, who then walked over to the field, knowing how much her girlfriend loved that water bottle.
"You are a lifesaver." y/n breathes out in relief and Jessie grins.
"if you want it, you gotta pay the tax." Jessie smirks and y/n lets out a sigh as if it was such a hardship.
y/n jumped slightly, pressing her lips against Jessie's, the footballer grabbed her waist and pulled her closer keeping a tight grip on her as she tried to deepen the kiss.
"Oi, Fleming! Give me my co-captain back!" Amber yells from behind them.
y/n pulls away laughing as Jessie flips off Amber, the cheerleader gasping dramatically and rolling onto the floor as if she'd been shot. y/n chuckles watching her.
"Drink." Jessie said, holding out the straw section to y/n, the girl ducked her head slightly, sucking a large gulp of water from the bottle.
She took several more swigs from it, Jessie holding the bottle still finding satisfaction in the way her girlfriend was letting her take care of her.
"Good girl." Jessie cooed, brushing a loose strand of hair behind y/n's ear, which in its habit did not stay tucked for long.
At the compliment y/n's cheeks flared pink, Jessie grinning evilly at the sight, knowing those words always got to her. y/n rolled her eyes, finally not thirsty for water as she took her water bottle from Jessie.
"Thank you baby." y/n hummed kissing her cheek. "Have fun at training." She adds as she goes to walk back to the group of cheerleaders.
"Uh, no!" Jessie whines, tugging on y/n's wrist and bringing her back to face her. "Good luck kiss." She huffs, the two having a ritual to do one before every training session and game.
y/n chuckled but leant up and pecked Jessie's right cheek, then her left, then her nose and then finally her lips, keeping their lips together for a little longer before pulling away.
"Better?" She asks her girlfriend who nods.
"Very." Jessie grins. "Love you!" She adds before racing off, grabbing her football bag from the floor where she had left it.
y/n watches her go, a small-lovesick smile on her face as Jessie runs off so she wasn't late for training, y/n walked back to Amber, who was still laid dramatically on the floor.
"You too are so sweet, it makes me sick." The girl tells y/n who rolls her eyes.
"Sweet like candy." y/n winks and Dan, one of the male leaders pretends to throw up, however shrieks when he is sprayed with water from y/n's bottle.

Games against USC were always violent and with Jessie playing more of a defensive midfield role today, y/n had been watching in fear as she nervously bit at her lip, trying to keep their cheers going.
It was currently 3-3 and there were only 3 minutes left. UCLA currently had a corner, and y/n and her group ran through another cheer, Amber doing a back flip just as the ball was kicked into the box.
y/n watched in shock as her girlfriend jumped, the ball bouncing from her head and into the back of the net as the clock hit one minute.
The stadium around erupted, especially for Jessie who was well known due to her international playing for Canada as well. y/n screamed in excitement, the cheerleaders all shaking their pom poms with cheers.
Jessie sprinted over to y/n, wrapping her arms around her and spinning her excitedly, which made y/n laughed. The two shared a quick peck which caused the crowd to erupt into 'awws' before Jessie raced back to her position.
The next few minutes were tense, UCLA trying to desperately defend their lead, as the whistle finally blew, the students and teachers cheered as y/n and her group did their final routine a wide grin on all their faces.
Jessie smiled as y/n hopped from Amber's hands, the cheerleader jumping on her as Jessie caught her, y/n's legs wrapping around her as she clung.
"My superstar." y/n murmured into Jessie's hair, not minding that she was rather sweaty.
"My sexy cheerleader." Jessie hummed back, y/n pulling away with a roll of her eyes as she jumped down.
"I was trying to be cute." y/n laughed as Jessie grinned and tucked y/n into her side with a strong arm around her waist.
"I can't help it, you in that skirt." Jessie groans, her head falling against y/n's own as she huffed out a breath, her hand creeping down to squeeze at the shorts which sat underneath the cheer skirt.
"Oi." y/n warns, Jessie giggling as she pressed a cheeky kiss to her girlfriend's cheek. "You behave and I might wear it tonight." y/n grins, winking at Jessie before running over to Amber, leaving Jessie stood in shock.
"You alright Flem?" Someone asked her, patting her on the back.
"I'm the luckiest lady alive." Jessie said, grinning widely as she watched her girlfriend talk to a sophomore who was thinking about joining the cheer team.
"You guys are so cute." Her teammate smiled. "It's gross." She adds. "Come on, debrief." Her teammate adds, before dragging Jessie to the clump of players pitchside.

study buddy
Tumblr media
transferred/modified from my wattpad 
prompt: you and jessie fleming are the only two bruins that ever take studying seriously, thus you become study buddies
word count: 2.5k
-
You sigh while walking into Powell library, this is the third time this week that your roommate has invited over the rest of your softball team to hang out.
While you love those girls deeply you know that if you stay in my room they will just obnoxiously take videos of you and mess with your notes. It's like you're the only member of the team who is there to get an education.
Looking around you see that it is actually pretty busy for a Thursday night and you realise that you will have to sit at a table with someone. 
You see a table that only has one girl sitting at it, you decide to take a chance and begin walking over. Once you are closer you can actually see the girl, she is wearing a UCLA Soccer hoodie and her face is adorned in the cutest freckles.
"Hi, I hope you don't mind but there's nowhere else to sit and I desperately need to get away from my teammates, so may I join your table?" you ask the girl, you mentally curse yourself for oversharing, you could have just asked if the spot was free and called it a night but that would be too easy.
"Oh yeah of course, sit down! I'm doing the exact same thing actually, my teammates always mess with my notes if I try to study in my dorm" she replies, finally looking up from her notebook, she has the most gorgeous brown eyes.
"Oh my god, no way, mine do the exact same thing!" you state, maybe a little too excited, but you have not really met anyone at UCLA who is serious about their grades or studying.
"Well it seems like we have the same teammates, I mean not exactly since I play soccer and you obviously don't but you know what i'm trying to say right? Oh my god, okay wait I'm embarrassing myself. What sport do you play?" the girl rambles, blushing at the end of her sentence.
You just chuckle at her adorable rambling and then state "I play softball, so definitely not the same sport but yeah I understand, it does seem like our teammates are the same people" attempting to continue the conversation but also turn the attention back to study you ask "so what are you studying?"
"Material Engineering with a minor in Environmental Systems and Society" she replies. You look at her absolutely shocked and she obviously catches on as she tilts her head slightly sideways before saying "what?"
"We are essentially the same person in a different font, I'm studying Aerospace Engineering with a minor in Sustainability and Renewable energy" you laugh.
"Okay so now we know basically everything about each other. Do you think I could get your name, and possibly your number?" the girl asks with a slight blush overtaking her cheeks. 
"My name is (Y/N) (Y/L/N), number on the pitch is four, you might get my phone number later, now how about you?" you reply with a flirty tone.
"Jessie Fleming, number twenty-one, and I'll be hoping for that phone number sooner rather than later" the girl you now know as jessie informs me in the same tone.
-
"Hey freckles" you greet Jessie, as you sit down next to her in the library. After meeting her a couple of weeks ago you really hit it off and have been studying together almost every day since.
"Hi dimples" Jessie replies, both of you giggling at the nicknames for each other that just seemed to have developed naturally over the course of the weeks.
You both get to work with the notes that you have to take, it's nice to just have someone who studies in the same way as you do. You sit together and work separately but also spend a lot of time joking around and getting to know each other more. It's all so easy with her and you are beginning to develop a pretty huge crush on her.
"I was thinking, I'd really love it if you come to one of my games and possibly meet my teammates? They are pretty interested in knowing who I spend most of my time with '' Jessie states, she seems a bit nervous but you can't wipe the smile off your face.
"Stop looking so nervous freckles, I'd love to go to your game and meet your teammates, on one condition" you smile widely.
"Your condition is?" she asks, still sounding as nervous as she was previously.
"You have to come to one of my games and meet my teammates" you laugh as you see Jessie physically relax, she quickly agrees and you both go back to studying, happy with the outcome of the conversation.
Sitting pitch-side at Jessie's game you are beginning to feel extremely nervous, you know that within the next two hours you will be meeting Jessie's teammates and you don't know what they know about you so you really don't know what to expect of the situation.
Before kick off you see Jessie walk onto the pitch to warm up, you wave at her smiling and she waves back. You see her jog over to her friends and they all look at you before turning back to each other and talking. The goalkeeper of the group then steps back looking directly at you for what felt like hours but was probably just a few seconds before going back into the group to talk some more. It makes you feel a bit insecure but you brush it off hoping that if they were to say anything bad Jessie would stand up for you.
The game begins and you watch closely trying to follow along. You don't understand much of what is happening in the game since you have never actually played but what you do know is that Jessie scored a goal.
She told you once that she is not too big on goal celebrations and that she'll usually just let her teammates hug her if she scores. But that is not the case today, you see her run towards the general area where you are sitting and then she makes a butterfly symbol with her hands before winking and running back to her teammates. You know this is directed at you as the two of you made up a handshake involving the exact symbol one late night studying when you had told her they were one of my favourite animals. You can't help but smile at the gesture, sinking into the warm embrace of her training hoodie which she had lent you one night. You decided to wear it today in order to show some support, and because it's cosy and smells like her.
The game ends with UCLA Bruins having scored three goals, two by Jessie and she assisted the other one, the Stanford Cardinals scored one goal meaning that UCLA had won, which you are pretty excited about.
You walk up to the side of the pitch taking a seat on the ground right near the line, you don't want to interrupt Jessie's celebrations but you obviously can't just leave as she had asked you to meet her teammates.
Suddenly it is overcast and you look up seeing Jessie smiling down at you, she offers her hand and you take it, not letting go once you are up. She quickly senses your nerves, squeezing your hand and dragging you over to where her group of friends from earlier are standing.
"Oh look it's Jessie number two" the goalkeeper who had an extended look at you earlier states, you must look confused as they all begin laughing.
"You are wearing Jessie's jumper, unless you suddenly took up soccer and are replacing her" she states, you look down remembering that you are in fact wearing Jessie's training jumper and realising that is what they must have been talking about earlier.
"Okay so the one who won't shut up is Teagan, then we have Kai, Jacey, Olivia and Anika" Jessie states introducing you to all her friends, you smile back still a bit nervous.
"I'm guessing you are the study buddy that Jessie is always with and talking about and thinking about" Olivia states, wiggling her eyebrows, as you look at Jessie noticing a blush crossing her face.
You have a new found confidence, suddenly stating "Aww freckles you talk about me? and yeah that would be correct, I'm (Y/N), nice to meet you all"
"Shut up dimples, I talk about you a normal amount, now that you have met her and had your fun, we have to go, we have actual studying to do" Jessie groans pulling you towards her bag.
Her teammates just laugh, yelling things such as 'nerds' and 'ask her out already', the second of which you ignore.
-
Waiting to walk out to bat you look around seeing Jessie sitting directly behind home base, she is wearing your away jersey. This is mostly because she told you that since you wore her training jumper to her game she had to return the favour and wear something of yours, which you have to admit she looks really cute in. 
"Number 4, (Y/N) (Y/LN)" you hear the commentator state, you begin to walk out suddenly hearing that your regular walk out song is not playing but instead the song 'Jessie's girl', your eyes widen and you look towards your teammates who are all laughing at the situation unfolding. You make a mental note to let them know that the song doesn't even make sense seeing as you want Jessie not Jessie's girl, but you know everyone can decipher the meaning behind the song, especially Jessie.
Once you are up at the plate you ignore the situation and focus on the ball, it comes at you, and you hit it out of the park, it was the most perfect ball you’ve ever hit and you smile knowing Jessie was here to see it. You run the bases, sliding into home for some added flair before getting up, making the butterfly symbol that Jessie had done to you only the day before, you wink and walk back to your team who create a dogpile on top of you, yelling out random celebratory cheers.
You end up winning, with your team collecting three home runs and the Stanford Cardinals making one, funnily enough it's the exact same score that the soccer team ended with yesterday, and against the same school too. 
After high-fiving everyone on the team and shaking hands with the Cardinals you quickly make your way over to Jessie, wanting to apologise for the walk out song situation and to introduce her quickly to your teammates so the two of you can make a swift exit.
"Hey freckles" you smile, seeing her waiting at the home base for you, she quickly hugs you and then looks up at you curiously.
"So dimples, what's the deal with the walk out song, is that what it's called?" she asks with a shy smile spreading across her face.
"Yeah that's what it is called, and my teammates decided to pull a prank on me, my usual walk out song is Introduction by Jax Jones" you reply, shaking your head at the prank from your teammates.
"Ohhh the one that's like 'I don't need introduction, follow my simple instruction'?" Jessie asks, you nod back laughing at her attempting to sing the song. "I would have loved to see you walk out to that” she states with an infliction that makes it rather clear that she is flirting. 
Your eyes widen at her comment before you reply "well you can come to my next game and see first hand, but for now let me introduce you to some people" you go to grab her arm but before you do she reaches your hand entwining your fingers, allowing you to continue walking.
"Okay so Jessie, these girls are the main pain in my ass and the reason I have to seek shelter at Powell, we have Jessica, Sadie, Becca and Jamie" you inform Jessie while pointing at your teammates. "Girls this is my study buddy Jessie" you now point to Jessie.
"How did you like (Y/N)’s walk out song?" Sadie asks excitedly, seeing as she is the one who set the whole thing up.
"It was kind of funny but the lyrics didn't really work I guess, it's like she was saying that she wants to date with my partner which is weird since I don't have one" Jessie replies, you stick your tongue out at your teammates having known that Jessie's logical side would come out.
"Oh my god, put two engineering nerds together and of course everything has to be 100% logical" Becca groans, while the other girls laugh.
"Well us two engineering nerds need to get out of here and study, you know that thing that none of you guys have ever tried" you state laughing at your teammates.
You walk away trailing behind Jessie, turning back to see your teammates winking and giving me thumbs up meaning they like her and your plan for this afternoon is to go ahead.
Sitting in Powell with Jessie, you both continue your usual study routine and now is the time that you put your plan into action. Jessie and you have been flirting constantly for weeks and you have wanted to ask her on a date but you also wanted to wait until you had both met each other's teammates, now that has occurred it is go time.
You are both silently working and you gather the courage to ask the first question, "hey freckles, would you be able to open the purple notebook next to you and read me the quotation on the first page?" you ask her, you came up with this plan to write a little note asking her to go on a date with you and then in order to not be suspicious you started using the purple notebook constantly.
"Yeah sure" she replies opening the book, "it says 'Jessie will you-" she stops reading the sentence out loud obviously noticing what it actually says, she turns to you suddenly, "really?" she asks.
"Yeah, so freckles, will you go on a date with me?" you ask, hopeful that you haven't just embarrassed yourself.
"Of course I will dimples" she replies, throwing her arms around you quickly, almost suffocating you in a hug.

Favourite T-shirt - (Jessie Fleming x reader)
I've been sittin' here, tryna figure out
What did I do right to be with you right now?
I put my arm around your shoulder
To see If I can pull you closer
And I didn't wanna say it
But I honestly thought I'm growin' older
"Sup Fleming" I smile as I walk up to the small Canadian. She whips around but a smile spreads across her face when she sees me. "Hey America" she smiles as she stops walking letting me catch up to her. I throw my arm around her as we start walking back to the dressing rooms and I can already feel all our teammates eyes on us.
We had met few years ago playing against each other on the national team so we knew each other in passing. I would be lying if I say that she didn't catch my eye from the beginning but I never got the chance to talk to her other than post match pleasantries.
But it wasn't until she was dragged along to a party at Stanford by her friends did I get a chance to actually talk to her.
"Fleming? What are you doing here?" I ask as I see her standing by herself off to the side in a quiet corner of the kitchen. I had to stop myself from checking her out. She wasn't wearing her usual shorts and a baggy t-shirt. Instead she had swapped from for jeans and a more fitted top with her hair let down. She tensed for a slit second but visibly relaxed when she saw it was only me. "Oh hey L/n. Some of my friends were invited and dragged me along". I raise my eyebrow, "And they left you alone. A bruin alone in cardinal territory? That's dangerous". She chuckles lightly taking another sip of her drink, "Is that right?" I lick my lips a smirk playing at my lips, "Don't worry I'll protect you".
Honestly if it wasn't for the small few drinks I've had tonight I don't think I would of have the courage to flirt with her let alone talk to her. But taking advantage of the small liquid courage because at least if she flat out rejects me I can hide behind the excuse of being drunk. But it seems that it paid off as she bites her lip probably trying to stave off a smile but I can see it poke through, "Oh really?"
I smirk down at the smaller player, "Let's see how hard they party in Canada".
I saw your eyes in the city lights
And almost said, "I want you so bad tonight"
Yeah, you were kissing my neck, you were making me nervous
And none of our friends would believe it
You were puttin' your hands up under my shirt
Makin' fun of the way I was breathing
Parked up on Mulholland drive
Blankets in the back of my car all night
You look so good, it hurts
In my favorite T-Shirt
"Fuck" I moan as Jessie nips at a particular spot on my neck as I throw my head back giving her more access to my neck. She chuckles as she trails kisses down the column of my neck. I latch my arms onto her hips trying not to show how much my hands are trembling right now trying to anchor myself.
I know I was drunk otherwise I don't think either one of us would have gone this far. But I was wasn't drunk enough to stop myself from feeling nervous. The height difference working against us as I had to crane my head down to kiss her. As I kissed her I started walking her backwards until her back hit the wall. As her back hit the wall she gasped letting me take control.
But that doesn't last as she slips her hands under my shirt causing me to gasp and shudder from her touch. This doesn't go unnoticed as she pulls back just enough to smirk at me as I stare down at her breathless. I have to hold back a moan as her finger rake over my abs. "You okay there?" She asks with a smirk evident on her face. She rests her palm over the side of my ribcage, "Your breathing pretty heavy there. Do I make you nervous?" She teases.
My breathing hitches again as her hand moves higher so it's now over my heart. Her palm lays flat over my rapidly beating heart which she can no doubt feel. "Looks like your heart is racing" she giggles lightly. I huff out a laugh as I grin leaning my forehead against her own.
I don't know whether it's between the amount of alcohol I've consumed or how hazy my mind was but the way the dim light was hitting her perfectly. I had to bite my tongue to stop myself from telling her badly I wanted her right now.
But she catches me staring at her as she tilts her head at me, "You okay?" I take another second to stare at her before shaking my head. But before she could ask I lift her up by the back of her thighs and pin her to the wall using my hips as her legs wrapped around my waist. "Now I am" I whisper before smashing my lips into hers.
Heart is beatin' harder than it ever has
Wanna put you in a photo, put you on my dash
I put my arm around your shoulder
To see If I can pull you closer
And I didn't wanna say it
But I honestly thought I'm growin' older
"Y/n! Stop!" Jessie whines as I keep the camera trained on her. But I just grin, "Nah. If your going to drag me out here on a long ass hike. The least I'm going to do is take pictures of the amazing view".
I mentally fist pump at the pink tint coming across her face but while I'm distracted she lunges at my phone and now she grins as she turns the camera on me and starts taking pictures of me now. "Hey!" I laugh and try and reach for my phone but she steps out of my reach and continues on, "give it back". But she just shakes her head, "Nope! It's your turn now".
I throw my head back groaning playfully, "Ughhhhh". But it instantly drops as I hear her laugh causing me to smile. It seems that she catches it and starts taking pictures again. I start making funny faces at her making her laugh again making my heart beat even faster.
I take my phone off her and start scrolling through the pictures. I stop of one of Jessie laughing and I show it to her, "Now that's a beauty. That's definitely going on the dash". I send her a wink, "That way I get to see your pretty face everyday".
I chuckle as she blushes before I pull her into me throwing my arm around her shoulders. She looks at me questioningly before I hold up the phone so the both of us are the in shot. When she sees the camera focused on us she buries herself into my side slightly hiding from the camera. I chuckle and grin at the phone as I snap the picture before showing Jessie.
"Huh" I say making Jessie look at me. I smile down at her, "I think I like this one much better actually".
This causes her to smile wrapping her arms around my waist and hugging into my side. I wrap my arms around her as we watch the city below us and as the sun falls out of the sky.
I saw your eyes in the city lights
And almost said, "I want you so bad tonight"
Yeah, you were kissing my neck, you were making me nervous
And none of our friends would believe it
You were puttin' your hands up under my shirt
Makin' fun of the way I was breathing
Parked up on Mulholland drive
Blankets in the back of my car all night
You look so good, it hurts
In my favorite T-Shirt
No, it doesn't really fit, but you don't really care
'Cause you said you were cold and you need it
Hope you're gonna forget that you ever put it on
'Cause you gotta see me if you keep it
Parked out at the end of your drive
Kiss me through the window one more time
You look so good, it hurts
In my favorite T-Shirt
"God I'm tired" I groan as I flop down onto the grass. "Same" Tierna sighs as she lies down beside me. I lay my arm over my eyes trying to shield from from the sun just too tired to move. "What's that?" I hear but too lazy to move so I just lay there.
"Y/n?" I hum indicating that I was listening. "What's that?" I move my arm to see Andi nodding towards me. I look down at my neck to see that the make-up I had put on had wiped away revealing the small purple swelling that was peeking out from under my training top.
"Oh my god. Y/n! Is that a hickey?" Tierna gasps from beside me as I try to adjust my shirt to try and hide the dark bruise. "Y/n got laid?" Katie asks acting shocked learning some laughs from the team while I flip her off, "Fuck off". Alana pulls my top down showing off the hickey to everyone before I can swat away her hand, "Damn whoever it was she got you good".
"Who is she anyways?" Tierna asks as I start collecting my stuff. I just shrug but she scoffs, "Don't give me that. Cmon who is it". But I remain quiet as we start walking off the pitch. But then Tierna decides to play dirty.
"Tell me who it is or I'll tell Alex and Kelley your sleeping with someone"
I stop in my tracks and glare at the redhead, "You wouldn't dare". When we were called up to the national team. Kelley kinda just drifted over to us seeing as we were cardinals. But seeing as I was a forward and hanging out with Kelley a bit, it was only natural that I became close with Alex as well. The two had taken me under their wing and had watched over me at camps.
Tierna smirks, "Try me". I huff out while she nudges me, "So? Tell me who is it?" I huff our before glancing down at my trainers and mutter, "Jessie Fleming". Tierna groans, "Cmon tell me seriously who is it?" I just give her a confused look, "What do you mean? I told you it's Jessie". Tierna scoffs, "Cmon off it. Are we talking about the same person?" Tierna looks at me, "Jessie Fleming the shy timid Canadian who's an entire head smaller than you. Did that?" She says pointing to my neck. But I just nod causing her to scoff again and turn on her heel, "Fine don't tell me".
I watch wide eyed as she turns back on her heel towards the locker room. I can't help but chuckle and shrug before following her.
Yeah, I've been sitting here, tryna figure out
What did I do right to be with you right now?
You were kissing my neck, you were making me nervous
And none of our friends would believe it
You were puttin' your hands up under my shirt
Makin' fun of the way I was breathing
Parked up on Mulholland drive
Blankets in the back of my car all night
You look so good, it hurts
In my favorite T-Shirt
No, it doesn't really fit, but you don't really care
'Cause you said you were cold and you need it
Hope you're gonna forget that you ever put it on
'Cause you gotta see me if you keep it
Parked out at the end of your drive
Kiss me through the window one more time
You look so good, it hurts

After much awkwardness and a small bit of embarrassment I finally grew a pair and asked her out on a proper date. I went slightly cliche and brought her to a drive in movie. I had it all setup with food and drinks along with pillows and blankets to sit in the back of my truck.
We whispered quietly between each other at the terrible film that was playing. With all my preparation I forgot to check what was playing. But it worked out in the end as we laughed at how terrible the plot line was. At one point I could feel her shiver as she leaned up against me. "You cold?" I ask as I look down at her. But she just shakes her head but immediately moves further into me contrasting her actions.
I detach myself from her making the both of us frown lightly from the loss of warmth but after a minute find what I was searching for. I hand it to her, "Here put it on". She looks at it for a second before accepting the shirt I keep in my car for emergencies. But I can't help but stare. Due to the height difference it doesn't really fit and it hangs off her.
But she looks absolutely adorable in it.
She smiles at me before moving back into her position at my side snuggling into me with the blankets wrapped around us, "Thank you". I kiss the top of her head throwing my arm around her as her head fits perfectly into the hollow between my shoulder and neck, "Your welcome".
Eventually the movie ended and I drove her back to her dormitory for the night. Running off the high of the successful date I turn to her with a smile as my hand goes to hers, "Thank you for agreeing to go on a date with me". She smiles as she interwine our fingers, "Thank you for asking". Neither of us saying anything. We sit in a somewhat comfortable silence neither knowing what to say and both not wanting the night to end.
Sadly time was against them
"I should head in" Jessie says quietly her eyes locked on our hands as she rubs her thumb over the back of my hand before looking back up at me, "you have a long drive back and I don't want my teammates sending out a search party". I chuckle, "We wouldn't want that".
I bite the inside of my cheek wanting to kiss her so badly but not wanting to push it and ruin a perfect night. Unfortunately my awkward side prevails as I scratch the back of my head sheepishly, "So uh I-I'll text you?" I cringe at how awkward I sound but thankfully she just giggles and nods, "Yeah I'd like that".
She turns and gets out of the car closing the door behind her. And I can't help but sigh and sink back into my seat grateful I didn't make a complete fool of myself in front of the Canadian international. But it doesn't last long as I jump as there's a knock on the window. But I quickly calm down as I see it's only Jessie who's currently laughing at me.
I roll down the window, "Jesus Jessie you scared the shit-" But I don't get to finish my sentence as she leans down and kisses me through the window. I don't hesitate as I kiss back. When she breaks the kiss she smiles and kisses my cheek one last time, "See you later America". I grin letting out a breathy laugh, "Bye Canada".
With one last smile she taps the window before heading back to her dorm. I bite my lip as I watch her until she makes it safely inside. She looks back and waves before disappearing into the dorms. I drum my fingers against the wheel before beginning the long drive back home myself.
I smile the entire drive home. Not worried about a second date knowing that we'll see each other again soon. After all
She's still wearing my shirt
In my favorite T-Shirt
You look so good, it hurts
In my favorite T-Shirt
And god damn did she look good in it.

Shooting Star (Jessie Fleming x Reader)
Tumblr media
The sun was shining brightly overhead as you walked through the park. You were taking pictures for your photography final. A few of them would make it to Instagram later, but you had to sort through them first. Jessie had agreed to come with you, mainly because she hadn’t gotten to spend a lot of time with you because of the Olympic qualifiers. Now that the two of you were finally able to spend some time together, nothing was getting in the way of that.
“What was that?” Jessie asked after being momentarily blinded by the bright flash of your camera. “Did you just take a picture of me?”
“I’m supposed to photograph the most beautiful parts of life that I see out here. Nothing’s more beautiful than you,” you said and Jessie sighed. You knew that it was just to cover up the fact that she was absolutely swooning over your line. “So, can you give me a couple poses please?”
“Like this?” Jessie did a couple of silly poses and then you started snapping photos of her.
“Oh yes. Gorgeous. Give me sweet, give me sexy,” you said with full seriousness. Jessie dissolved into a fit of giggles and so did you moments after her. You went back to taking pictures of birds and you didn’t know how much time had passed until Jessie started to unpack the picnic basket you insisted on bringing. 
“Hungry?” Jessie asked you as she set everything up. You set your camera down in its bag and then joined her on the grass. Everything was perfect. The weather was hot, but the subtle breeze made sure that you didn’t get too hot. Jessie sat halfway on your lap while the two of you relaxed together.
“It’s really nice out here,” you said and Jessie nodded. After lunch, the two of you hiked up a mountain that you had once hiked as a small child with your father. You took a lot of pictures there and made sure to send some to your mother so she could see them.
“Look,” Jessie whispered. She pointed up at the sky and you saw a shooting star. While you were busy looking at the shooting star, Jessie got down on one knee and held a ring out in front of you.
“Jessie,” you gasped and she bit her lip. She didn’t even get the chance to ask you. You put the ring on and kissed her with tears beginning to fall down your cheeks.
“I’ll take that as a yes,” Jessie chuckled awkwardly. “Can I say my line though?”
“Of course,” you said and Jessie cleared her throat.
“I would have made a wish, but you’ve already made my dreams come true,” Jessie said and you kissed her softly. “Now I get to give you everything you want.”
“All I want is you and maybe a house somewhere remote if that’s possible,” you said and Jessie nodded.
“I’ll see what I can do about that,” Jessie said and you knew that she’d search the world to find you the perfect place. You honestly couldn’t have wished for anything more with that shooting star because Jessie had given you everything you ever wanted in life.

𝓒𝓸𝓵𝓵𝓮𝓰𝓮 𝓜𝓮𝓶𝓸𝓻𝓲𝓮𝓼 𝓐. 𝓓𝓪𝓱𝓵𝓴𝓮𝓶𝓹𝓮𝓻
Tumblr media
Requested!
Y/N POV
“Hey mom, Do you mind if I turn on the soccer game?” My 7-year-old daughter Lexie asked.
 I shook my head as I looked up from my laptop. “Go ahead, sweetie.”
I had Lexie at the end of my senior year in college. I played soccer at UCLA. I always knew that I wanted to have a child while I was somewhat young. I didn’t see myself playing professional soccer in the future so I got a sperm donor and here I am 7 years later, happy as can be. I was pulled out of my thoughts as I heard a name I never thought I’d hear again.
“Now for the Courage starting XI, Number 13 Abby Dahlkemper!”
My head snapped up to look at the T.V. and sure enough, my ex ‘girlfriend’ was staring back at me.
“Abby is my favorite!” I hear Lexie cheer. “I want her jersey.”
“I’ll see what I can do.” I said as the memories came rushing back into my head. Abby and I had ‘dated’ for a few months in college. We were both into girls but guys wouldn’t leave Abby alone. Since we were teammates she asked me if we could fake date so guys would finally back off. She and I became really close and I started to catch feelings for her. She was really supportive of me when I became pregnant and helped me a lot along the way. Once we graduated we lost contact and I was never able to tell her how I felt.
“Hey Lex, do you want to go to the next Courage game? I’ll even get you that jersey.” I laughed as Lexie began jumping up and down. 
“Yes! Of course!”
Time Skip to After Game
I had managed to get front row seats to the Courage game and Lexie was beyond excited. I watched as she cheered throughout the game but I couldn’t take my eyes off of Abby. Once the game was over we waited for the team to walk over and sign some things. Lexie got her poster signed by Crystal, Sam, Heather, and Lynn. Hinkle walked over to sign Lexie’s poster but Lexie told her she didn’t want her autograph. Then the woman of the night walked over. 
“I love your jersey.” Abby said and smiled at Lexie who was wearing Abby’s jersey. 
I decided to speak up and hoped Abby would recognize me.
“Long time no see, Dahlkemper.” As those words came out of my mouth Abby looked at me with a shocked expression. 
“There is no way it’s you Y/L/N! I’ve missed you.”
“I’ve missed you too!” I said with a smile.
“I have to head to the locker room but I can meet you by the exit to catch up. If that’s ok with you?” Abby pointed to the locker room. 
“Of course that’s ok. We’ll meet you there.” Lexie spoke up for me. She grabbed my hand and lead the way. 
While we waited for Abby I explained to Lexie how I had known Abby from college. Once I was done explaining Abby walked out towards us. 
“I think I should start by introducing you to my daughter, Lexie.” I put my arm around Lexie as Abby smiled.
“It’s great to meet you, Lexie. Thanks for coming to the game and sporting my jersey.” Lexie nodded excitedly.
Abby turned her attention to me. “I wish we had never lost contact. I never got the chance to tell you how I grew feelings for you.” 
I gave her a soft smile. As soon as I saw her on the field tonight all of my feelings resurfaced. “I’ve felt the same way.” 
“Well, would you like to get dinner sometime? To catch up and maybe see if the feelings are still there?” Abby asked nervously. 
“She’d love to.” Lexie chimed in. 
“What she said.” I pointed to Lexie. 
Abby laughed and handed me her phone. I handed her mine and we exchanged numbers. 
“Don’t be a stranger Y/N. I’m excited about our dinner.” Abby winked and walked away.
Lexie smiled at me as we walked back to our car. I smiled and thought that this night couldn’t have been better.

Blue Neighborhood Series: TOO GOOD (Jackie-centric) - Mac
AN: All my love and thanks to Alex for betaing. She’s a star and I adore her. All my love to you all for continuing to read this story. I appreciate you so much more than you know.
Summary: Jan and Jackie talk about their respective futures as well as the events of the past few months and try to figure out what comes next.
Jackie breathed in and out slowly in an attempt to slow her racing heart. The cups of coffee in her hand were still so ridiculously hot that they burned a ring into the skin of her palm, but the uncomfortable feeling and the biting chill of the night air kept her mind clear.
For that she was grateful.
Not a second after she had knocked, the familiar red oak door swung open, revealing a frazzled looking Jan. She looked beautiful despite her evident stress, and Jackie would have told her as much if she were braver.
“Good evening, Miss Homecoming Royalty,” Jackie grinned, chipper as ever, even with it being nearly midnight.
Jan huffed and rolled her eyes, clearly not in the mood for teasing, but as her gaze fell onto the matching cups in Jackie’s hands, her eyes lit up and she made a grab for the coffee.
Jackie’s arm darted away from Jan’s eager grasp and she shook her head mockingly. “Uh un, what do you say?” she prompted, barely able to suppress a grin.
Jan crossed her arms over her chest and pouted. If Jackie were a stronger woman she wouldn’t have found it as adorable as it was.
The older girl sighed. “This is the part where you say ‘thank you, Jackie, you’re the light of my life and I couldn’t do any of this without you.’”
Jan rolled her eyes once more. “I swear to god,” she cursed under her breath.
“Close enough,” Jackie chuckled, finally offering the drink to Jan with an outstretched hand.
Jan grabbed it swiftly like she was prepared for Jackie to whisk it away again. The older girl just laughed at her as the two made their way up the stairs to Jan’s room. Pristine and purple as always, Jackie swore the place was cleaner than a hospital with how often Jan vacuumed, the plush shag carpet sending sparks of familiarity and comfort up Jackie’s legs and settling in her spine.
The two girls threw themselves on the bed and began the arduous process of pulling out their various materials.
College applications were due in a week and with all the shit that had been going on in both their lives, they had conveniently put off writing their essays, or in Jan’s case, writing her essays and recording her audition tapes. Jan, having realized this, had called Jackie immediately and demanded that they get together and finish everything right the fuck now. Jackie, having been half asleep and not in her right mind, agreed, because it was Jan, and she never could say no to Jan.
Now, the girls exhaled, throwing their stacks of papers around the room and staring blankly at their computer screens, racking their brains for that perfect string of words that would determine the course of their lives.
After about thirty minutes of this mindless staring, Jan sighed and threw herself back onto her plush comforter, trying and failing not to find it comfortable.
“What the hell do they mean where do I want to be in ten years?” She groaned. “Employed. What the hell else?”
Jackie raised a singular brow, judgment clear in her words.“Is that really UCLA’s essay topic? Yikes.”
Jan sat up and fixed her with a squint. “Well, what was Smith’s?”
“Most influential person in your life.”
“That’s sooooooo basic,” Jan drawled, rolling her eyes pointedly.
Jackie leaned over the mountain of pillows and made to poke at Jan playfully. The younger girl gave a dramatic shriek and began burying herself under the mass of pillows in an effort to escape. Jackie let her go after a moment, finding Jan far too cute and far too close.
The proximity, even after all these years, never failed to make her head spin.
“At least they didn’t ask a minimum wage job interview question,” she quickly recovered.
Jan scoffed and batted Jackie’s hands away. “I think you’re just saying that cause you don’t want me going so far away.”
Jackie couldn’t hide the way her heart sank in her chest at the comment, but she’d be damned if she didn’t try to conceal it with an eye roll. “Whatever. Like you won’t get into whatever school you apply to.”
Jan groaned again, turning her face against a pillow so she could meet Jackie’s eyes. “Juilliard has an 8% acceptance rate.”
“And NYU?”
“20%”
Jackie shrugged. “And what about it? You’re more talented than every one of those other bitches and you know it.”
Jan sighed, letting her eyes fall down to the bed beneath them, fingers tracing aimless patterns into the worn blanket.“I dunno, Jacks. Lately I’ve been wondering if I even wanna do music.”
“Are you serious?” Jackie asked incredulously.
The thought that Jan, the girl with musical notes for blood cells, wasn’t sure about her future was… alarming to say the least.
If anybody should be comfortable picking a path in life, she should.
Student body president, Homecoming Royalty, captain of the cheer team, soccer star, salutatorian. She was the perfect addition to any collegiate program.
Although Jackie supposed it made sense. Jan had been so driven, had worked so hard for so long that she had barely had time to breathe let alone think for herself. Always so concerned with what came next.
Freedom must seem like the scariest thing imaginable.
“Is this because of what happened at your audition last month?” Jackie pressed, still unable to fully wrap her mind around what she was hearing.
“No? Well, yes.” She sighed once more. “I dunno. I just don’t know if that’s my… thing. You know? Like for the rest of my life…” Jan trailed off.
Jackie nodded. She did know.
Just because she was happy with her chosen track didn’t mean she was sure of it.
But she had been in a similar position not too long ago when she had come out to her less than enthusiastic parents. Jackie had defined herself by her family and the rules of her culture since the day she could comprehend them.
It was scary, feeling so untethered.
The only reason she had gotten through it was the knowledge that she would get to escape one day. That college would come and she could be free from all the expectations and the pressure and the rules.
But Jan wasn’t like that. She craved rules and discipline and order. So much so that it had overshadowed everything else. Order had always come first. Before passion, before reason, before joy.
“Well you know,” Jackie paused, “you don’t have to decide right now.”
Jan looked up at her, eyes wide in confusion.“Applications are due next week I have to-”
Jackie cut her off with a shake of her head. “Who says you even have to go to college?”
The younger girl stared at her for a moment, mouth hanging open in shock, like she couldn’t believe that Jackie was actually encouraging what she was encouraging. “My parents-”
“Oh fuck off,” Jackie scoffed. “You don’t actually care what they think.”
Jan couldn’t meet her eyes anymore, shoulders tense as she attempted to process. Her fingers were flexing unconsciously against the sheets as her mind spun, falling over itself at the idea that she had the option to take her time.
That she didn’t have to keep running anymore. That she could finally slow down.
Jackie saw it all play out behind her eyes, and she noticed the moment that Jan shut down, not allowing herself to bask in the possibility.
She went to protest again. “Jacks-”
“You don’t have to pick your career right now,” Jackie said firmly, in that tone that always made Jan shut up and actually listen to her. She wasn’t sure why she was pushing so hard, but she couldn’t stop herself, the unrelenting need to assure Jan that she was fine and she had time making her mouth move before her brain could stop it. “You’re 18. You’ve got so much time. You can take a year off, or two years off, or never fucking go to college if you don’t want to.”
Jan still wouldn’t look at her, body still tense, mind still scattered; Jackie gently took hold one of Jan’s hands in her own, squeezing it gently in reassurance.
“You have time to figure it all out. And you will.” Jackie smiled lightly to herself. “I know you will.”
Because it’s you. She wanted to say. Because it’s you and you’re so incredible. And nothing you ever do in your whole life can be anything less than incredible.
Jackie looked up to find Jan staring at her with soft eyes, adoration so clearly etched in the lines on her face.
“What are you staring at?” Jackie coughed awkwardly, a hand coming up to worry the skin on the back of her neck, flush spreading subconsciously.
“Nothing.” Jan smiled, shaking her head and squeezing Jackie’s hand in hers. “It’s just… you’re gonna be a great lawyer.”
Jackie’s head hung off the side of Jan’s bed several hours later as the student body president looked through her color-coded planner, mind unfocused. Thoughts of sleep wandered through Jackie’s exhausted brain, but she forced her eyes open, meeting Jan’s even as she was upside down.
“Whatcha thinking bout?” Jackie asked her, with a lopsided grin.
“That you look silly like that,” Jan teased.
“Funny, you look normal.”
Jan’s eyes widened comically and her mouth hung open in a show of mock offense before she proceeded to poke Jackie none too lightly in the side over and over and over again. This lead to the both of them playfully hitting at each other like children, eventually causing Jackie to fall gracelessly off the bed and onto the floor, the two old friends proceeding to collapse into a fit of giggles and eventually calling a truce as they caught their breaths.
Their laughter subsided after an immeasurable amount of time and a comfortable silence fell between the two.
But then, Jan’s peaceful smile faltered.
“Are you thinking about her?”
Jackie felt her shoulders tense, the sudden change of tone making goosebumps rise on her skin. “Gotta be more specific than that,” she tried and failed to joke.
“Gigi,” Jan muttered, staring intently at Jackie, eyes brimming with… something that Jackie didn’t entirely recognize.
“Why?”
Jan shrugged. “I dunno. You were gonna go with her to Homecoming and then all of a sudden you weren’t.”
Jackie looked at Jan hard for a moment, unsure of where this line of questioning was coming from, and not sure she wanted to find out where it was going, as Jan’s stare was blank and unassuming - a dramatic deviation from her usual bubbly self.
Jackie shook her head as if to communicate that it wasn’t a big deal. “She wanted to go with someone else. It wasn’t a set in stone kinda thing. We were only going as friends.”
You knew that. Jackie wanted to say.
Because Jan had known that. Had known both of them for her whole life and not once had she… made this connection before.
The student body president nodded slowly, almost as if weighing Jackie’s answer. “So you don’t…” Jan paused, choosing her next words carefully, “have… feelings for her?”
Jackie felt something unpleasant settle in her stomach. Something that felt quite a bit like anger.
They didn’t talk about this.
Not about boys, or girls, or attraction in general. Jan always had Bryce and Jackie always kept her mouth shut.
“Why?” Jackie tried to keep her voice level, and not let the selfish, angry part of herself lash out.
“I’m just curious.” Jan shrugged, detached tone still making Jackie uneasy. “You never tell me about girls you like, and you and Gigi were all over each other at Widow’s birthday.”
Suddenly, the remaining pieces fell into place.
“So were you and Jaida,” Jackie shot back before she could think better of it.
Jan immediately shrunk in on herself, as if Jackie’s words had been physical blows. “That was different.”
Jackie laughed bitterly, the pooing disgust in her gut brimming to the surface. She raised one eyebrow pointedly, making unyielding eye contact with Jan. “Was it?”
Suddenly Jan was much closer than Jackie remembered her being, and she must have sat up or something because she could feel Jan’s labored breathing against her face now.
And just as suddenly as she noticed it, Jan was leaning across the small space between them to press her lips firmly, decidedly against Jackie’s.
Jackie’s entire body froze, suspended a freefall for several seconds.
The change from anger to elation was so sudden, so consuming, that her whole body felt aflame.
After a beat, her brain slowly kicked back online and she began to move her mouth in time with Jan’s bruising kisses.
Jan tasted like coffee and sunshine and a familiarity that made Jackie’s spine tingle. And Jackie didn’t know how she had gone so long without tasting her.
The kiss turned slow, lazy almost, as the two old friends lingered in each other’s space long after they had come up for air.
But when the student body president pulled away, there was something decidedly less joyful in her eyes.
“I’m sorry,” Jan started to apologize.
Jackie smiled lightly. “It’s okay.”
Jan kept shaking her head back and forth quickly, anxiety creeping into her words.“No, I mean… I shouldn’t have done that. I… I wanted to see if… I thought maybe-”
Jackie reached out with a gentle hand to brush a stray lock of hair out of Jan’s face, but the younger flinched back like the contact burned, and the sick feeling in Jackie’s stomach was back, threatening to suffocate her.
“Take your time, it’s okay,” A rejected Jackie nearly whispered.
Jan just kept shaking her head, letting out a puff of air through her nose. “It’s really not.”
Jackie looked at her, really looked at her for a moment, waiting for the other shoe to drop.
It finally came in the form of Jan’s teary eyes meeting Jackie’s.
I’m sorry. They said without words.
And suddenly it hit her what exactly Jan was apologizing for.
“You… you don’t like me like that. Do you?” Jackie said slowly, allowing each of the words to drift from the back of her tongue and fall off her lips coldly.
Jan met her eyes again, lip held tightly between her two perfect rows of teeth, and shook her head.
Jackie nodded. “It’s Jaida, isn’t it?” she couldn’t keep the disgust out of her mouth.
Jan hesitated, freezing up for a beat before giving in and nodding minutely.
The silence was back, heavy now in the wake of Jan’s admissions.
And then suddenly, all the years of repressed feelings came bubbling to the surface, and Jackie was helpless to stop the anger from winning out this time.
“Why didn’t you tell me? What, you didn’t think I’d understand? Didn’t think I could handle it?” She spat.
Jan shook her head, helpless. “I didn’t know how to-”
“You didn’t even fucking come out to me! I didn’t know you liked girls, I had to use fucking context clues!”
“I didn’t know how to tell you it was someone else.” Jan rushed out. “I always thought, if it were going to be anyone, I thought it’d be you…” she shook her head sadly. “But it’s not and I didn’t know how to tell you. I didn’t know how to tell myself.”
“So what, you just fucking kissed me for what?”
“I didn’t want to hurt you.”
“Yeah, well, you fucking failed”
Jackie, vision blurry in a mix of rage and hurt, started grabbing her school materials and shoving them blindly into her bag.
Jan tried to stop her. “Jacks-”
“Don’t.” The ice in Jackie’s voice shut Jan up immediately, the younger girl sinking back into her position on the bedroom floor.
Jackie made her way to the door, silently fuming to herself. She only stopped when she heard Jan’s meek voice from behind her.
“I’m sorry. I wanted it to be you.”
Jackie laughed bitterly, facing the door to hide the tears threatening to spill over. “You can’t help who you like, Jan.”
Jan’s words echoed in Jackie’s head as she fled the house.
“I wanted it to be you.”
Me too. Jackie thought. Me fucking too.
She wanted to be angry. So much so that she convinced herself she was. Cursing Jan’s name under her breath, wishing they’d never met in the first place.
But as soon as the chill of the October air hit her skin, she felt the tears fall. She was helpless to stop them, so she didn’t try to.
As she wandered around the familiar houses of their neighborhood, all dark save for the one at the start of the road, she let the past years of fear and regret and sadness fall from her eyes.
She sat under the flickering streetlamp at the start of their street, ignoring the way the harsh sidewalk rubbed rough against her clothes.
“I wanted it to be you.”
“I wanted it to be you.”
“I wanted it to be you.”
The words circling around and around and around in her head like a merry go round.
It would be so much simpler. So much cleaner and nicer and easier if Jan could just love her back. Could force herself to settle for someone as plain and boring and utterly inferior as Jackie.
It would be easier. And it wouldn’t hurt so much.
Because even if she did, even if Jan could love her, Jackie would always know that she wasn’t good enough. And it would hurt, but it would be fine because at least she could be mostly happy. And it would only hurt in that quiet, burning kind of way that you only ever felt if you moved a certain way.
Yes, it would be easier that way.
But Jackie couldn’t ask her to do that.
But maybe…
Just maybe…
She could ask someone else.
Before Jackie could think it through, she was across the street knocking loudly on the only other house with a light in the window.
She waited impatiently, leg bouncing up and down, rapping once again on the door until it swung open revealing a mostly tired, slightly surprised Gigi.
Jackie didn’t think, she just pulled Gigi in by her hips and angled her head to capture her lips in a kiss that felt like a lie.
Gigi let out a surprised yelp a first, then froze as Jackie’s lips moved passionately against her own. But Jackie didn’t let up, only doubling down on her efforts, channeling everything she couldn’t say to Jan into Gigi’s mouth.
Ultimately, the younger girl melted, kissing back cautiously if not a bit demurely.
When Jackie finally relented, letting Gigi up for lungfuls of air, she couldn’t help the satisfied feeling pooling in her gut.
Gigi stared at her, wide eyes showing a mixture of shock and awe and a tiny bit of desire.
“Y-You don’t want me,” she finally managed to say.
It was only then that Jackie noticed her red eyes.
She had been crying too.
What a pair they made.
“I’m so sick of people telling me what I want.” Jackie whispered. “I want you. I want to be with you.”
Gigi looked at her hard, gnawing at her bottom lip.
After a beat, she nodded.
Gigi still looked nervous, like Jackie was going to take it all back and change her mind, but Jackie was too high off of the intoxicating mix of desire and anger and pain.
She pulled Gigi into another bruising kiss and pretended she tasted like coffee.

hi ho, i’m ac. she/her, gmt+1 and 23. i bring you my son matias. he’s an onion, lots of layers. i love him tho, i basically just use him for every rp lmao so if you’ve seen him around ??? well
❛ ✶ ( CODY CHRISTIAN , CIS MALE , HE/HIM ) . who the hell is blasting BAD INTENTIONS by ALEXANDER OSCAR at one in the morning ? nevermind , that’s just MATIAS BORGES from 1106 . apparently , they are a TWENTY-THREE year old SOCCER PLAYER from  PROVINCETOWN , MASSACHUSETTS , and they’ve been living at the complex for 1 YEAR . i heard they can be a bit JUDGMENTAL , but they make up for it by being so CHARISMATIC — which makes sense , considering that they are a ARIES ! when i think of them , i imagine GYM BAG THROWN RIGHT AT THE DOOR, DOG TOYS LAYING AROUND TO TRIP OVER & A BLACK AND WHITE ASSORTMENT OF SNEAKERS . and of course , don’t forget to follow them at ( @MATIASBORGES ) ! ooc . ac , 23 , gmt+1 , she/her .
first of all, here’s his pinterest !
BACKGROUND:
okay so, matias grew up in provincetown,massachusetts, i know wtf. it was very idyllic, and both his parents were quite happy with the outdoors, with a love for sailing and soccer, and his mom loved gardening, which they had plenty opportunity to do there.
his dad is like aby rosen, real estate tycoon and entrepreneur, owns a lot of prestigious buildings around the world. his mom is a retired supermodel and is basically like chrissy teigen at this point, socialite making cookbooks and fucking dishing out life advice on twitter and what not.
he has a younger sister, whomst he’d 100% throw hands for. even if all she does is probably roast his ass, it is what he deserves. she’s way smarter than him but then again, it’s not that hard.
so although he did live in provincetown and there were plenty fancy private schools in boston and what not, his parents had a designated fancy private/boarding school in new york. so he moved to new york for high school.
matias was always an immense soccer talent and all he dreamed of while growing up was to one day play for the big european teams, like barcelona, manchester, bayern munchen and what not. i wouldn’t say soccer was/is his life, but like it kinda is. it takes up a lot of his time and thoughts. if he’s not playing soccer he’s probably out for a run or in the gym.
so he graduated with a degree in sports management from ucla, cause if his career as a soccer player falls through. especially since he’s had injuries before and knows that certain injuries are career ending and he wants to do something within the sport even when he can’t plau. his dad has always lowkey wanted for him to take over the company but has also never outright not supported matias’ soccer dreams.
currently he’s playing soccer for the new york red bulls, which is a pretty sick deal and he’s just out here vibing to be honest.
PERSONALITY:
so matias is like a walking contradiction. on the outside he’s very grumpy and gives off a very snobby vibe, like he’s too good for you and like talking to you is a waste of time.
i’d say he’s an introverted mind stuck in an extroverted body. he like can’t help but socialize and talk to everyone but it’s not that he really wants to, in reality he’d rather just be left alone or with the few select he doesn’t mind having around. but has this energy that makes people think the opposite and also quite often is found smiling or cracking jokes lol. is rarely ever serious.
generally dislikes people, like immediately he’ll find something to dislike about someone, maybe he’ll be forced to realize it’s bullshit or maybe he’ll find even more to dislike, but he approaches anyone and anything with some level of dislike.
most of the negative shit stems from high school and realizing how shitty people actually are? like don’t get me wrong, he was like the golden boy and he loves attention pls, but high school was definitely where he started to like realize how fake all these rich people are, and like developed this facade to play along with them. definitely changed a lot in high school, least on the outside.
he’s very much a mama’s boy. full of energy and curiosity. honestly, quite caring when it comes down to it, even if he doesn’t actually give a shit, he will try and cheer up a stranger and make sure someone is okay, even if he miserably fails, he will try. very observational??? will notice even the slightest change in people, not always he acts on it or acts the right way on it tho, but yeah.
honestly, probably falls in love like five time a day and then the next day he’s over it. but when he falls he falls, like flat on his face.
he’s very straight forward, also very good at covering insults and shit up with jokes. if he doesn’t like you though, you’ll know, he wont try to hide that.
he’s mostly down to earth though, appreciates a good party and hanging with the boys getting some beer. enjoys giving out shitty advice, don’t ever listen to him he doesn’t know what he’s talking about, talks just because he can.
is honestly pretty flirty but it’s rarely on purpose, if he actually likes you he probably doesn’t know what to say and he’ll easily just wrap around your finger. boi where’s your backbone...
HEADCANONS/TIDBITS:
doesn’t have any sense of time, if you wanna invite him to something, do invite him an hour early and he might make it on time, that is unless he got a better offer.
soccer wise he’s centre midfielder.
although his family is pretty known in the socialite and business world matias has managed to stay out of the news except for one time when he was vacaying in the hamptons with some friends and they accidentally sped across fragile dunes and the protected nesting area of the piping plover, on ATV’s. it is basically the most powerful resident in the hamptons and it’s a bird. anyway he was taken to court but since they hadn’t found evidence of the bird on their ATV’s they weren’t charged with anything.
drives an audi rs7 sportsback in red because he’s just such an audi driver like….do i even have to explain?? such an audi driver.
very important! he has a son, called thor, he’s a one year old belgian malinois and he’s everything. the apple of his eye. definitely spends more time on his dog than any actual person. click here for thor.
in this universe he’s taller than cody actually is, ‘cause he’s a midget, so you know, here he’s a nice height akgha. like 6ft or something
WANTED CONNECTIONS:
ex(es) honestly give me all of it, the boy is stupit so that alone is enough of a reason to break it off. nah but honestly, it could’ve been one that stung a bit ‘cause if he really does invest in someone he’s actually not a terrible boyfriend. but yeah some relationships that didn’t end well, or some that did perhaps, idk. i’m here for it all.
hook-ups, because that’s fun and we all gotta hoe it out sometimes.
some sort of friends to lovers??? will they wont they???
his sisteeeer *eyes*
teammates?
rivals? enemies? just a general dislike i imagine, matias can be rather hard to work with and be around because he’s annoying tbh so yeah.
i’m gonna add a tag for wanted connections at one point fo sure.

what does it mean for a player to be allocated?
note: there are two kinds of allocation in the nwsl; one is allocation as in federation players (what i’ll be discussing in this post) and the other is what i usually refer to as “new allocation” which is explained in a different post here. in the navigation page, this is referred to as “federation players” and the other allocation is “new allocation”
so what is this allocation? this kind of allocation is when the canadian and american federations agree to pay the nwsl salaries of select players each year so the club does not have to. 
who is allocated this year? the list is posted here. 
how do they decide how many players can be selected by the federations? i don’t think there is a maximum or minimum of players that can be allocated, but i do know that the usa has allocated up to 26 players in the past. this year’s number is 23 for usa. canada allocated nine. to see which players were allocated for each year in past nwsl seasons you can look here. 
i thought mexico used to allocate players? they did! the last season mexico added players was the 2015 season. for more info on that, including speculations as to why they stopped, you can read here. 
why is [blank] player on/not on the list? these lists were due from the federations at the end of november and disclosed to the players and club teams on december 1st. this could explain why some players who have gotten a decent amount of playing time (for example, lynn williams or jessica mcdonald) were excluded from the list or players who have gotten less playing time (for example, morgan brian or diana matheson) were included on the list. ultimately, the list is made at the federation’s discretion and they do not have to disclose their reasoning. 
as far as i know, this list cannot be changed and these are the only players that will be allocated for the 2020 season.
can allocated players (federation players) be traded between teams normally? do they need some sort of approval from the federation or league? do trades affect a player’s allocation at all? trades will not affect the allocation status of a player. trades involving allocated players (federation players) can happen between teams without any prior approval from the leagues or federations. example: mallory pugh traded to sky blue fc from the washington spirit 
for further explanation on trades you can read the posts in my “trades” tag here.
is there a limit on how many allocated players (federation players) each club team can have? there used to be only a certain number of “allocation spots” that each team had but that was done away with a few years ago.
when someone is newly allocated, how do they decide what team gets the player? if a player’s rights are already owned by a team, they stay with that team when they become allocated. the team can trade them as they would any other player. if a player is newly allocated and did not previously belong to an nwsl team, their rights are automatically granted to the highest-ranked team in the “distribution ranking order”. example: mallory pugh’s rights were automatically granted to the washington spirit when she left ucla because they had the number one spot in the distribution ranking order 
if tierna davidson was allocated (made a federation player) last year does that mean she wouldn’t have been able to go in the college draft? the rules are unclear. i assume the distribution ranking order takes precedence over the college draft which is why she was not allocated. by allowing her to go as the top draft pick it could have been seen as a way to legitimize the draft, but that is all my own speculation. 
is it true that allocated players aren’t allowed to leave the nwsl? under jill ellis’ coaching, uwsnt players were “strongly suggested” against leaving the nwsl or they risk losing their spot on the national team. more sources on that in this post. vlatko andonovski, the new uswnt coach, has expressed interest in players currently overseas but it is unclear if he will insist fixtures of the uswnt stay in the nwsl. source. there are no similar restrictions on canadian players as far as i know.  
is there a limit to how many of these allocated players (federation players) can be protected in an expansion draft? yes! last time there was an expansion draft (orlando, 2016 season) teams could only protect 10 players and only two of those could be american allocated players. there was not a limit on canadian allocated players.  for more information on expansion rules in the past, you can check my “expansion draft” tag here. 
when the new rules are released for future expansion drafts, i can do a write up further explaining them if there is interest.
why does the nwsl do this? other leagues don’t do this so why does it exist? previous iterations of the nwsl failed for a multitude of reasons but one recurring problem was that american and canadian national team players wanted to get paid more than their non-national team counterparts because they felt that they deserved it. and they did! but teams would spend exorbitant amounts of money trying to get certain players and they would be left with very little money to sustain contracts for the rest of the team. when ussf was creating the nwsl, they elected to allocate players like this so north american federations would pay the club salaries of their players and give the clubs some financial relief. 
ussf (the usa soccer federation) partially owns the nwsl but has recently discussed relinquishing control. if they did this, would they stop this system where they pay the club salaries for allocated players (federation players)? it’s impossible to know. i imagine if they did, they would rewrite the rules for the “new allocation” (explained in this post) so that canadian and american national team players could qualify. they would probably also increase the allocation money cap for teams to accommodate the new players.   
does the allocated list mean that players who aren’t on the list won’t make the olympic roster? no. last year there were 22 players allocated by the usa and there were three players named to the 23 player roster that were not on the allocated list for the 2019 season. (tierna davidson, jessica mcdonald, and ali krieger. casey short and mccall zerboni were allocated but did not make the world cup roster.)
if a player is playing for the national team but isn’t allocated (a federation player), does that mean they aren’t getting paid for their national team play? no. the only thing allocation does is subsidize their nwsl contract. allocation status does not interfere with the money the player receives for national team duties. there are two separate contracts; one as an allocated player (federation player) for what they do in the nwsl, and one for what they do on the national team. 
how much does an allocated player (federation player) make for their nwsl contract? as of the most recent source i can find (july 29th, 2019), the nwsl contract for an allocated player (federation player) is a range of $67,500-$72,500. source. 
for more information on how pay for allocated players (federation players) compares to the “new allocation” you can read this post. note: there are different numbers for how much allocated players (federation players) are paid than i used in this post. i cannot find my source for those numbers so i instead used the numbers on the most recently verified source i could find.
for further comparison: nwsl minimum salaries are $20,000 and maximum salaries are $50,000. the total salary cap for a team (excluding money used for allocated players (federation players) and “new allocation” players. those contracts do not count against a team’s salary cap.) is $650,000. source. players are also usually compensated with other benefits including housing and some degree of transportation during the nwsl season. there are caps on these numbers per team and teams vary in how much they choose to spend. if people are interested in me explaining these numbers and how the teams use that money, you can contact me and let me know. 
if you have any further questions about this or something else, let me know here! you can also dm me on this blog.

Looking For - Jessie Fleming Imagine
Tumblr media
Reader POV: 
I sat on the bench, relacing my cleats for practice. We were having a friendly against Canada tomorrow and I was excited for a few reasons. One, I was on the starting lineup which is instance considering I'm new to the team. And two, I was going to see my girlfriend Jessie! 
The only person that really knows about our relationship is Mal considering she's the one who got us together. We don't see each other a lot, but that only makes the times we do see each other much more memorable. I finished lacing up my right boot and ran back out onto the field. Although we had a match in less than 48 hours the practice session was pretty casual. We had already done a few group drills. Everyone was basically doing their own thing now. 
I ran up behind Mal. She was practicing her passes with Moe. Moe noticed me and was about to say something before I placed my finger on my lips so she wouldn't say anything. She just kept passing the ball. I screamed into Mal's ear and grabbed at her waist. She yelled loudly in fear. A few of our teammates looked over confused. Moe and I both laughed. She rolled her eyes annoyed. "You wanna run laps?" She asked. I nodded. 
We went to the edge of the field and began to do something between a jog and a sprint. "Are you excited to see Jessie?" She asked me. I nodded and smiled wide. 
"I'm always excited to see her." I said speeding up a little bit. Mal sped up too. 
"Remember you have me to thank." She said. 
"I know every time I mention her, even in passing, you have to remind me. Like all I have to do is say who scored goals for one of her games and you remind me that you are the reason why I'm with her." 
"When have I ever done that?" Mal asked defensively. I stopped running and stared at her. 
"Literally last week." I say and we laughed. We continued to run a few more laps before we got tired. We sat outside of the boundaries of the field and stretched. 
"So how do you feel playing a game against your girlfriend?" Mal asked me. I shrugged. 
"I don't know. The last time I played soccer with Jessie we were on the same team. But I'm not the kind of person to let a relationship influence how I play, so there's nothing to worry about." I answered. Mal was going to say something but Jill spoke first. 
"Okay ladies, quick scrimmage before Canada comes in for practice!" She yelled. We all stopped what we were doing before and ran to the center of the field. "Rapinoe, and Morgan are captains." 
They began to pick who they wanted on their scrimmage teams. When Alex said my name fourth I was surprised. I was usually picked last for this. I walked over to Alex's side and stood next to Becky, who was chosen third for this scrimmage. 
After the team was divvied up we got I to positions and began playing. We weren't all playing at out full potential since we were trying not to overexert ourselves, but the scrimmage did go well. About 63 minutes in Jill blew her whistle and we all stopped playing. I looked over and saw that the Canadian team had arrived. 
My eyes scanned the group of women and found Jessie. We made eye contact. She smirked and winked at me. I couldn't help but blush. I looked down so no one would see, but if anyone asked I'd just say I was hot. Mal notice our exchange and chuckled as she jokingly elbowed me in the shoulder. I looked back at Jessie, she noticed and laughed. 
"Okay ladies off the field!" Jill yelled. We all went into our locker room and changed out of our practice uniforms. I decided to send Jessie a text. 
Hey you wanna meet outside while everybody is changing?
Yes pls! 
I chuckled and went to exit the locker room but Alex noticed. "Where are you going?" She asked. This made everyone turn to me. Shit. 
"Uh, I left something out there." I said hoping that they'll buy it. They did and I was able to leave the locker room without raising anymore questions. When I got out Jessie was already waiting for me. 
I ran towards her and hugged her. She kissed me and I did so back. My arms wrapped around her neck playing with the brunette hair at the nape of her neck. Her arms wrapped around my waist holding on tight. I smiled into the kiss. I haven't seen Jessie in so long and this moment was perfect. We stood there and just held each other for a bit. 
"I've missed you." She said, looking back at me with those gorgeous brown eyes. 
"I've missed you too." I said and pecked her lips. "And I'm gonna kick your ass tomorrow." She laughed. 
"We'll see about that." She smirked. 
"Okay we better go before anyone starts asking questions." I say to her. She nods and places one last chaste kiss on my lips before she jogs to her locker room. I watch her go and then jog to mine. I go to the showers and rinse off, I'll take a better shower at the hotel, then change into a pair of sweats and an old ucla t-shirt. 
"Did you find what you were looking for?" Mal asked giving me a knowing smile. I nodded. 
"Yeah, I did." 
A/N: Another wonderful story from one of my followers. Make sure to give it some love!

( froy gutierrez, cis male, he/him ) i just saw ROBIN DEREK ALVAREZ walking down the street’s of provincetown the other day playing BEST FRIEND by REX ORANGE COUNTY out loud. rumor has it that the TWENTY ONE year old is + SANGUINE, but can also be - IRRESPONSIBLE — overall they’re a MALINGERER. they remind me of EMPTY WATER BOTTLES STACKED IN THE CORNER OF THE ROOM, THE BRIGHT LIGHTS OF A TV IN A DARK ROOM, MEMES THAT MAKE NO SENSE, MISSPELLED TEXT MESSAGES. 
i have no self control please click on the read more to try to understand this boy
he was pretty much a mistake dsklfjds his parents were high school sweethearts at the local high school in provincetown! both of his parents, ryan and andrea, were seniors when andrea became pregnant with robin. their parents were obviously furious, but once that little blue eyes boy popped out, he immediately stole everyone’s heart
rachel continued with her education up until robin was born. robin’s grandma was willing to take care of him, but rachel wanted to be able to do so too, so she ultimately took the rest of the year off while ryan finished up his high school career and enrolled in the nearest community college
that was also when the two of them moved into a nice, but affordable apartment in the area which they scrapped up money for by working min wage jobs for a year and took out a loan for
it was difficult but these two love birds made it work!! his dad then continued his education after getting his associates and started an online business administration major! and now that his dad was home, his mom went back and completed her GED and enrolled herself into an evening nursing school at a career college on the outskirts of town. 
OKAY Back to robin! he was a little trouble maker. he was messy, clumsy, drew on walls, made other kids cry because he was bothering them, but THAT DAMN SMILE made everyone forget his problematic behavior
ALSO WHEN I TELL YOU THIS BOY IS DUMB YOU BETTER BELIEVE ME... becAUSE street smarts is NOT his thing. he thought you were supposed to chew gum with the wrapper, he thought chicago was it’s own state, HE DOESNT KNOW HOW TO TIE HIS SHOES
but it’s all worth it when he was the top of his class throughout all of his educational years. he was able to get a scholarship to UCLA for playing soccer (which honestly was his side thing, but he had so much energy he sprinted up and down that field like nothing) 
so right now he’s in his third year at UCLA as a philosophy major, honestly has no idea what he wants to do with it, but who can blame the kiddo
SOME RANDOM FACTS!! he’s an energy ball, he talks too fast sometimes, loves video games, sends everyone a meme of the day, taps his foot too much, loves nachos, wears a fanny pack all the time, every halloween he’s been bucky mcbadbat, he’s recently been painting his nails black but doesnt wear top coat, and!!!! he’s a CLUTZ (he falls a lot so imagine him on the soccer field)

I think people were wanting Jessie Fleming to leave school in January on Twitter - but they weren't saying that it was happening. Though for the sake of her game and for CanWNT I hope she does and goes pro - university soccer is not the place for her to develop her skills to where they could be.
She has to leave school by January if she wants to continue her soccer career. She will have exhausted her NCAA eligibility in December & there are no women’s pro teams in LA - at least no team good enough for her. I’d imagine she will finish up whatever schooling she has left online or at a college/university near her pro team.
I’d be shocked if she left UCLA before her eligibility is up, anon. Jess has always seemed very intent on staying in school. Even if leaving now is the right move for her career, i don’t see it happening. If it was going to happen, it would have happened already. She’ll finish her UCLA eligibility in January, then go pro. The question seems to be when/if she will get her degree.

okay so i officially revamped devon. changed her fc, and last name. other than that, nothing has really changed about her. most of her background is still 100% the same. but i did add some more facts about her! as well as a possible connections section.
( im yoonah, she/her ) — did you see devon rhee walking through the streets of forks? the 26 year old witch has been in town for her entire life. people in town seem to say that they're hard working and smart, but i’ve definitely seen them acting pretty envious and judgemental, too. hopefully they don’t cause too much trouble in town.
Tumblr media
BASIC INFORMATION
            FULL NAME: devon lynn rhee             NICKNAME(S): dev             PREFERRED NAME(S):  dev             BIRTH DATE:  march 30th, 1992             AGE:  twenty six             ZODIAC: aries             GENDER: female             PRONOUNS: she/her             NATIONALITY: american             ETHNICITY: korean             OCCUPATION: interior designer/ mechanic             CURRENT LOCATION: forks, washington             LIVING CONDITIONS:  currently living in a three bedroom house that she renovated herself.
BACKGROUND
   - born four months early in the small town of forks, devon was four months premature. being born that early only meant that devon would be in the hospital for four months. those four months ended up being a living hell for her parents.
   - from being not completely developed, to having to have multiple surgeries, it was a long four months. though once getting through that, and once she was healthy enough, devon was able to come home.
   - a year after she was born, her mother left her and her father.  with devon being only one, she truly didn’t understand anything about that.  all that was known was that devon didn’t have a mother now. she was motherless
   - for the first few years of her life, it was her father who had to take care of her alone. from getting her ready for school and so on.
   - when she was around six years old, her father started to date. the woman he started dating almost instantly started to help with devon. and devon started to look to her as a mother figuree. someone in her life now who would be her mother. which turned true a year later when she and devons father married.
   - in a way, devon bonded with her, and when she finally became her mother, devon was happy. she was even more happy to know she would be gaining three older siblings. two brothers and one sister.
   - when she turned ten, her magic started to show. at first, her father did his best to teach her. it wasn’t until her step mother, who was also a witch, stepped in to help. that was when she really started to grasp the concept of magic and so on.
   - during her high school years, she was on student council.  she was also on the girls soccer team too.  after graduating, she went on to going to UCLA. though the summer before going, she stayed in town to help out at her dad’s auto repair shop. as well as help her step mother out with interior designing.
   -when it came time to leave, she packed up what she could and headed down to UCLA. for four years, she studied there. though it was during her second year that she declared interior design her major. she ended up graduating with a degree in that and a minor in culinary arts.
   - returning home, she ended up moving back in with her parents only to save money. once she saved enough, she ended up buying a fixer upper and renovated the house to her liking.
   - despite being an interior designer now, she still does help out at her dad’s auto repair shop when she’s not busy.
OTHER FACTS:
- about a year ago, devon found out where her birth mother was. being the brave soul she was, she went to where she now lived without anyone knowing. though only to be met with heartbreak. hearing from her mother that she didn't want her and that she had a new family. after that, she officially left and disowned her birth mother.  
- devon is very much in tact with her korean heritage. at least once a month, she travels to seoul and stays with her aunt and uncle there. its something that keeps that part of her alive.
- she loves to cook, which isn't something that a lot of people know. and she's a darn good cook too. though cooking in general isn't a passion of hers.
-she did have one relationship. it was during her college years. but that ended after three years. the relationship ended mutually.  the two stayed friends after that.
- some of her favorite dishes are kimchi stew, soy sauce crab, tteokbokki, bibimbap, mandu (korean dumplings), pizza, pancakes, and homemade mac and cheese.
- music wise, shes a huge fan of got7, super junior, exo, bts, red vevet, mamamoo, twice, (g)idle, itzy, pentagon, little mix, beyonce, and ariana grande to name a few.
POSSIBLE CONNECTIONS:
- childhood friend/mate/love interest this one would 100% require working it out/talking it out. but basically they started off as childhood friends. did everything together too. and i imagine them to be part of the supernatural too. either a werewolf, witch or vampire(would have gotten turned later on). but they know each other well. and somewhere along the way, they grew feelings for each other that never went away.
-childhood friends: people in general who devon has known since she was a child. and have been friends with her ever since too.
-best friends a group of best friends for her. male or females. but it wouldn't be a huge group. just a few people who devon trusts a lot. can be any species too.
- frenemies: someone or a few people who devon has a love/hate relationship with. one minute, they're getting a long just fine, the next they're arguing. that sort of thing.

Soulmate Tattoos - (Jessie Fleming x reader)
Warning! Warning! I wrote this in the past hour because I couldn't sleep and it's currently like 4am. So prepare for a crappy story line and probably a lot of grammar/spelling mistakes. But nevertheless I hope you guys enjoy!!!
Jessie's Pov
I trace the bicycle tattoo with my finger as I look at it in the mirror. I know I'm still young but it seems like a lot of my friends have already found their soulmates while I'm still looking for mine.
Everyone gets their soulmate tattoo at a young age. The tattoo usually appears between their 16 and 18th birthday depending on their soulmate. The tattoo you get represents your soulmate, so I'm guess by the bicycle inked into my skin that they like cycling. I don't even know what tattoo my soulmate has.
You know your near your soulmate because your tattoo starts to burn and then when you kiss their initials appear under your tattoo. And you would think travelling around the world for soccer would help with the search but I've never felt my tattoo burn and I definitely haven't kissed anyone yet.
"You will find them eventually Jess" I'm snapped out of my daze by my roommate Teagan. I sigh and throw on my t-shirt covering up my tattoo, "I know. I just wish I knew when". She pats my back, "Don't worry about it. Cmon a few from the team are going to a party tonight. You should come it will be fun". I give her a look, "Your not going to stop until I say yes anyways are you?" She grins, "Nope! Now let's go!"
I roll my eyes but grab my hoodie before following Teagan out of our dorm. We meet up with a few from the team before heading into the house where the party is already raging on. I mostly stuck with the girls for the majority of the night due to me not being great at talking to new people.
I was in the middle of getting a drink with Karina when I gasp. I hold the area around the back of my arm as I feel my tattoo burn for the first time. Karina looks at me excitedly, "Is it what I think it is?" I just nod and start to look around to see if anyone had entered, trying to find my possible soulmate.
Karina grabs my wrist and drags me back to the others, "Guys! Guys Jessie's tattoo burned! Her soulmate is here!" The whole group jump up instantly and Teagan forms a game plan, "Okay everyone spread out. See if you can find anyone who had their soulmate tattoo burn as well". Before I could argue or stop any of them, all of them split up spreading out all over the place in aims of finding my soulmate.
I sigh not knowing how this was going to go with my insane teammates. I just walk around for a bit keeping an eye out for anyone who sticks out. My tattoo was burning every now and again so I knew they hadn't left yet anyways. Every now and again I could see my teammates talking to someone before scuttling off to another person.
It had been about 2 hours and I was starting to lose hope. I head back to the kitchen to go get another drink when I bumped into someone. "Oh I'm so sorry" I apologize to the taller girl I bumped into. I let out a small gasp as I look up at her. She had this brilliant smile that was so big it made her eyes crinkle. Before either one of us could say anything else my tattoo starts to burn even hotter, the hottest it had all night.
This time when we looked at each other again she smile down at me again holding out a hand to me, "I think we need to talk". I shyly nod and take her hand letting her guide me outside. She leads me over to a nearby bench outside and we sit down. "I'm judging by the way you grasped your arm, your soulmate mark burned too?"
I nod not really trusting my own voice enough to not crack in front of the green eyed beauty. She chuckles making me blush crimson. I try and hype myself up into talking to when I finally opened my mouth, "What...what is your tattoo?" She smiles gently at me before pulling her shirt sleeve up revealing the tattoo to me.
"Huh" I breath out as I look at her tattoo. "What is it?" She asks. I shrug, "Sorry, it's just uh I didn't expect it to be a camera. I thought it would be a soccer ball or something". "You play soccer right?" She questions and I nod. "If you don't mind asking can I ask what yours is?" She smiles down at me. I shake my head before showing her my tattoo.
I inhale sharply when I feel her hand brush my arm right where the tattoo was. "Sorry" she apologizes, "but that makes sense. I'm a cyclist". We sit there awkwardly for a bit before she sighs and runs a hand through her hair, "Okay let's start this again. Hi I'm Y/n L/n nice to meet you". I smile and shake her hand, "Jessie Fleming, nice to meet you too". She doesn't let go of my hand and continues to stare at me, "Your cute".
I can feel the heat rolling off my cheeks as she lets out a chuckle. "So" she starts, "tell me something about yourself".
We spent the rest of the night talking and just getting to know each other. I learned about the small scar she had stretching across her arm which was from a bike accident where she fell off her bike and sliced her arm on a metal fence. She asked me about playing soccer for Canada, finding it fascinating about me playing in the Olympics at such a young age talking about how she wants to go to the Olympics one day.
She checks her watch and sighs seeing the time, "It's getting late". I frown slightly and look away. She stands up and hold a hand out to me again, "Cmon I'll walk you back to your dorm". I smile and take her hand as we start to walk back to my dorm.
In the middle of the walk I could feel her slowly spread her fingers. I look down at our hands before looking back up at her only to see her looking forward biting her lip nervously. I giggle and interlock our fingers liking the feeling of my small hand in her big one. When I look back up at her I could see a red tint come to her cheeks as well as the top of her ears. Feeling a bit brave I lean up on my tippy toes and kiss her cheek making her entire face flush.
Sadly and way too soon, we got back to my dorm. She walked me right up to the door and I turned back to face her, "Well this is me". She shuffles on her feet, looking down at the pavement, "Well um I had a great time tonight getting to know you". I smile up at her, "Me too".
It was quiet between the two of us. Neither of us really knew what to say or really wanted to make the first move.
But it seemed like Y/n was the one to do it
"Okay look I know we only really met tonight. And this may be a bit forward and feel free to tell me to piss off but-". I chuckle at how nervous she had suddenly become but step forward and stop her ramble, "Yes".
She grins and steps forward and cups my face before leaning down and connecting our lips together. I return the kiss happily smiling into the kiss. It was only when we break apart I feel the burning sensation underneath my tattoo. I check my arm to see now under my bicycle tattoo there was now her initials inked into my arm. I look up to see Y/n doing the same and I can clearly see J.F on her arm.
I smile up at the girl in front of me who now had the big dopey smile on her face with bright jade eyes.
I had finally found my soulmate

I Really Like You (Teagan Micah x Reader)
Tumblr media
Developing crushes was part of being a teenager. Developing a crush on somebody who you spent a lot of time with was not something uncommon for people. However, your crush on the hot senior player, Teagan, was sort of a problem. It would have been fine if Teagan was a freshman like you, but she wasn’t. Teagan would be leaving at the end of the year to go be a professional soccer player and you’d never see her again. 
“Why do you look so down all of the sudden?” Jessie, another senior on the team, asked you. 
“Tests,” you lied. There were no tests, there were never tests. You’d been using that excuse since you were in middle school to get out of talking about your crushes. “Big test.” 
“Is your test over a certain Aussie?” Jessie asked and you nodded. “I bet you’ll do great.” 
“I doubt it,” you said and Jessie left you with that. You mulled it over for weeks and finally, you got the nerve to ask her to hang out with you. The two of you did some extra practice sessions and then would always go out to get dinner afterwards. Teagan had a bit more money than you, so she’d always pay. That had started the joke of her being your sugar mama. 
“Hey there lil’ baby,” Teagan greeted you. There was a game about to start and it was gonna be huge for you. You were starting, something that never happened. “Nervous?” 
“Is it that obvious?” you asked and Teagan nodded. 
“I know you pretty well,” Teagan said and you blushed. “Just like I know that you’re into me.” 
“W-what?” you asked and Teagan started chuckling. A couple seconds later and she stopped, realizing that you were actually freaked out. 
“i was kidding, but holy shit. Why didn’t you tell me?” Teagan asked you. She sounded hurt, which didn’t make sense to you. 
“Because I was nervous and I was okay with being your friend,” you said and Teagan pulled you aside. “I liked having you around.” 
“I really like you, so I’d like to take you out,” Teagan said and you agreed to that. She said she’d surprise you next weekend after the game and your heart was beating faster than you knew it could at the thought of your date.

Requested! I hope you like it!
Y/N POV
Jessie and I walked into practice together laughing at something she said. We joined a group of our friends and set our stuff down.
“It looks like the lovebirds finally decided to show up.” Kennedy teased us.
I rolled my eyes and saw a red tint come up on Jessie’s cheeks.
It was no secret that Jessie and I had been close. We are both midfielders and both seniors so we’ve been on our college journey together. 
Most of my teammates knew about my crush on Jessie. I’ve liked her since my sophomore year when she saved me from a persistent girl at a party. She stepped in as my ‘girlfriend’. I realized that I really liked the idea of having Jessie as my girlfriend and it’s been that way ever since.
We split into groups based on our positions for practice. Jessie and I were partnered together because we have the same skill level. We worked on different skills and then we played a scrimmage game. Once practice was over our friend group gathered.
“Y/N and I were going to have lunch at my place if you guys wanted to stop by.” Jessie offered as we were walking to our cars. 
“Sure we’ll swing through.” Teagan put her stuff in her car.
“See you guys in a few.” I smiled as I got into the passenger seat of Jessie’s car. I opened Instagram and looked through my tagged pictures. I came across an edit of Jessie and I celebrating after a game. I’m not going to lie. I love looking at the fan edits. It makes me feel like Jessie and I are actually dating. I know it sounds creepy but it’s true.
Jessie gets in the car and looks at me with a smile. “What’s got you all smiley over there?”
I look up quickly and blush. “Oh, nothing. My mom just texted me something sweet.”
Time Skip to World Cup Final
Wow. My team just won the world cup. Here I am standing on the field with confetti surrounding me. I hear someone squeal and look at Mal who runs up to Jessie and almost tackles her in a hug. 
Jessie keeps herself and Mal from falling. Mal says a few things to Jessie that I can’t hear before Jessie walks over to me and gives me a bone-crushing hug.
“You did it. I’m so proud of you.” She mumbled into my neck and I hug her tightly.
“I’m so proud of you too. You did amazing in the world cup.” Jessie lets go and I see Alex and Kelley walking past. They’re both smirking at me and I pray that they don’t say anything stupid since they both know I like Jessie.
“Awe baby USA and baby Canada together,” Kelley says as she makes kissy faces at us.
“Just don’t be too loud when you’re celebrating together tonight ok?” Alex says as she pulls Kelley away from us. As I’m turning a very bright red Jessie speaks up.
“Y/N I have a question to ask you. I’ve been thinking about it for a while. I saw your phone when I got in the car that day after practice. I saw the edit of us on your phone and you seemed so happy. I was just wondering if you liked the idea of us being a couple as much as I do?” Jessie bit her lip nervously as she looked at me.
“Are you kidding me? Jessie, I’ve liked you for almost 3 years now. I love looking at the edits and imagining what it would be like to have you as a girlfriend.” I ran a hand through my hair before looking at her lips. “I like you a lot Jessie.”
Jessie smiles widely. She leans in and kisses me and I feel the sparks fly. We pull back when we hear someone whistle. I look and see Mal cheering us on. I roll my eyes. 
“That’ll give the fans something to edit,” I say still in shock of what just happened. 
“Yeah, that’s for sure. Now go get drunk with your teammates. We’ll have more than enough time to celebrate when you get back to California.”
I nod before giving Jessie a quick peck on the lips and walk back to the locker room smiling to myself. I just won the world cup and scored the girl of my dreams.
