Hi! I love your writing so much!!
Can I request something for Leah Williamson? Like Leah and Popstar!reader has been in a secret relationship and in the reader’s music video she has to kiss/being intimate with an actress (sort of like “Justin Bieber - Mistletoe”music video) Leah become jealous, although reader has explained that the song was for Leah and it was just acting. So in the next music video (I pictured it like “Dan + Shay, Justin Bieber - 10,000 hours” music video) Leah be in the music video and kinda hard launch to the world about being married to the reader.
So, maybe cute jealous Leah and fluffy ending?
(You don’t have to use the same music video reference, it just what gave me this ideaâ˜ș)
Thank you, and if you don’t want to write my request it’s okay.. no pressure!

you and your wife, leah were each other’s biggest fans, but in a relatively secret manner, only the people closest to you knew about the two of you and that was how you liked it.
you and leah met at the brit’s years ago when you were seated next to each other. someone on stage said something quite unhinged and you both glanced at each other in disbelief.
“what the fuck?” you mouth to the girl next to you, she places a hand over her mouth to conceal her laugh but both of you break out into silent giggles.
after that, you both followed each other on instagram and she miraculously got your number. you both started chatting, finding out you lived 10 minutes from each other. you always met up for lunch or anytime whenever the two of you were free and it steadily progressed into a romantic relationship.
you’d been together for over 7 years, wanting to keep your lives private as you were both highly influential people in the media. you, a popstar and leah, a star football player.
and like the media always does, they ruin things. often. so, you and leah made an agreement to keep your relationship a secret, your wedding was quiet, your nearest and dearest all in attendance.
—
you and leah brought out the best in each other, and everyone noticed it. everytime you and leah got interviewed, it was one of the top comments that you and leah respectively were much happier recently. both of you always saying, “it’s just a happy day” with an identical smile.
if people did put two and two together, you and leah wouldn’t confirm nor deny your relationship. you and leah would put on subtle disguises when supporting each other, whether it was at an event or a football match, the two of you would make an effort to be there no matter what.
you both genuinely loved each other and that was all that mattered to the both of you. through a large, mutual respect and trust with one another, it worked.
—
when leah tore her acl, she was at home all the time, you took some time off music to support her and she was eternally grateful for you. when she’d cry, you kiss her cheek and tell her everything was going to be okay.
you took her to rehab, to training, to get late night snacks. whatever she wanted, you did it for her, knowing well enough that she would do the same.
all the time at home together made you both giddy amongst all the sadness of the injury. leah claimed she wouldn’t have been able to do anything without you, expressing her gratitude everyday through lazy kisses and prolonged embraces that had your hearts synched in unison.
in an attempt to express your unconditional love for your wife, you decided to make a secret album dedicated to her. once she was asleep, you would slip out of her embrace and write songs until your hand was tired and your eyes were sore.
leah was by far your biggest inspiration and you wanted her to know that.
when you would finish writing for the night, you’d hop back into the welcoming arms of your wife. she’d immediately settle on your chest, her body rising and falling as she slept soundly.
you worked on the album the entire duration of recovery for leah, impressed with how you were able to keep the secret for so long, considering she always had the ability to coax something out of you when she’d give you that attractive smirk as she’d tower over you.
once she’d recovered and made her comeback, you knew the album needed to be released, so, you put out a poster advertising it on instagram, a major yet subtle nod to leah, featuring one of her newest tattoos.
leah sees you’ve posted something on instagram since she has your notifications on, her heart stops when she recognises her tattoo, she smiles brightly that day, rushing home from training to ask you all about it.

“baby!” leah calls out from the door, her keys clanging on the kitchen counter as she searches for you. you’re sitting in the living room on the couch, bundled up in one of her hoodies while you drink a tea.
“hi, love” you smile lazily at her, she looks at you full of adoration, sitting next to you on the couch and carefully taking the mug from your hands and placing it on the coffee table. she takes both of your hands in hers, leaning forward to place a kiss on your lips.
“hi, beautiful” leah smiles against your lips, placing little kisses there before pulling away to look at you. “has my girl been making an album without telling me?” leah narrows her eyes at you, placing a hand on your thigh when you kick your legs into her lap.
“maybe” you shrug teasingly, causing the blonde to groan in annoyance. “oh come on, man!” leah huffs, you raise your eyebrows at her amusingly, kissing her cheek affectionately causing a little smirk to play on her lips.
“alright i’ll tell you,” you give up when she gives you her best puppy dog eyes, “the album’s for you, i’ve been writing it throughout your recovery and a couple of songs are coming out over the next three days before i release the full thing” you inform her, fiddling with the fingers of her free hand.
“it’s for me?” leah breathes out surprisingly, attempting to move closer so she was pressed up against you, “it’s for you” you affirm, puckering your lips up for a quick kiss.
she instantly closes the gap, the kiss more passionate than you expected, causing you to whine into her mouth when she pulls you to straddle her lap. the kiss is bruising, it makes you both dizzy with affection when your lips and tongues move against each other.
in need of air, she pulls away and rests her forehead against yours, her breath fanning against your lips as she holds you close. you lean back to look at her, pushing away the stray hairs adorning her face that had fallen from her loose ponytail.
“i’ll take it you’re excited then?” you tease, placing a hand on her cheek and smiling softly at her, she nods and moves her head to kiss the palm of your hand, “more than excited” she teases back, moving to kiss you again and taking your breath away completely.

it was the day one of your first songs got released, labelled : ‘softly’ (by clairo - highly recommend this banger, listen and check out the lyrics!!). the music video was filmed months ago and it was cute. you thought she’d love it, but the girl sitting next to you while she watched wasn’t overly excited as much as you thought she would be.
the song was beautiful and she loved it, it was the music video that had a funny feeling bubbling in her chest. in the music video, you and a close friend of yours, a male actor had been exploring a random part of london, goofing off, slow dancing in the street, sharing a coffee and leah was fine with that, it was ‘whatever’. until the very end of the video where you shared a quick kiss before the screen turned black.
leah had an unreadable expression on her face, sitting next to you, cross-armed while her eyes were trained on the tv in your shared living room. she prods her tongue on the inside of her cheek before she clenches her jaw.
“lee, baby” you say nervously, testing out the waters, she doesn’t look at you, her eyes still on the tv. “leah?” you place a hand on her shoulder and she shrugs it off, standing up to run off to the bathroom.
she was fuming to say the least, she knew it meant nothing but there was just something about seeing you kiss someone else that made her immensely jealous and she couldn’t admit it to you.
you sigh when you hear the bathroom lock click, she never does that. you say to yourself you’re giving her space but it took you the span of 1 minute to rush to the door and sit down in front of it, your back pressed against it while you waited for her.
you hear the distant lull of the shower and you pout, picking at your nails at the thought of her being upset with you. when she was done, she opened the door and you fell back, staring up at her with wide eyes before scrambling to get off the floor.
“you okay?” you breathe out, the blonde just nods, moving past you and sitting on the bed, her back resting against the headboard while she scrolled on her phone, reading all the comments on your song.
all of them talking about how cute the video was, a couple confused as to why you casted a man as the love interest for a song clearly about a female.
you breathe out shakily before sitting next to her, picking at your nails again until leah broke the silence, “don’t do that” she reprimands softly, looking down at her phone again. “sorry” you mumble, head hanging low as you stare at your hands in your lap.
“have i done something?” you question nervously, the girl just shakes her head, placing her phone down and looking at you. her scowl was gone and instead somewhat of a pout was hinting on her lips.
your eyes slightly widen when you take in her appearance, she was jealous. you fight extremely hard to conceal your smile as you watch her amusingly, ready to see her crack under the pressure.
“did you really have to kiss a man?” leah clenches her jaw with a roll of her eyes when she hears your stifled giggles escaping your mouth. “baby-” you start, promptly interrupted but a frustrated looking leah, “a man? the songs about me!” leah scoffs in disbelief, crossing her arms over her chest as she looks at you expectantly.
“don’t smile” leah grits out, but you can’t stop, moving to sit in her lap as she frowns.
you try to untangle her arms but she’s extremely strong, deciding to place a hand on her shoulder while the other cards through her hair. she tries incredibly hard not to hum at the contact, staring into your eyes through her furrowed brows.
“the song is about you, i kissed a gay man by the way, i just thought he’d be a good fit for the video but the song is clearly about a certain pretty blonde that i love” you say sarcastically, leah untangling her arms and pinching your hip warningly.
“i love you and i only love you” you say reassuringly, peppering her face with little kisses which causes her to break out in a little smile.
“i liked the song” she sighs, leaning into your body for comfort that you happily give to her.
“i’m glad” you smile, nudging her nose with your own and giggling when it crinkles up.
“still doesn’t change the fact that you kissed a man when you have a wife” she exaggerates, her scowl making its way to her face again. you smile at her affectionately, “a gay man” you groan, “are you sure? you’re really hot and could easily make someone question themselves” leah says simply, checking you out shamelessly.
you roll your eyes and give her a chaste kiss, “yes, leah, he’s gay and i’ll happily kiss my wife that i love so much” you smile cheekily, making the blonde huff out a laugh and pull you closer into a passionate kiss.
it completely takes your breath away when she pulls away, you pant and just look at each other for a moment. she’s happy for a second until she remembers you locking lips with that man, she doesn’t care if he’s gay, it scarred her.
“so grumpy” you mumble, reaching up and running your thumb over the wrinkled skin. “i don’t care, it should’ve been me,” she huffs, she’s completely unaware of what you have under your sleeve. “i love you” you quip, she replies without skipping a beat, “i love you too”
with a couple more shared kisses and reassuring words, leah got over it.
—
two days later, the video you’d been excited yet nervous about was finally about to be released. you’d been working on not only the song but the music video extremely hard.
the song was called ‘leah’ (actually ur so pretty by wasia project), it was different from your usual music but it felt right. you nervously sat with leah on the couch, bundled up under a blanket together as you cuddled.
leah could sense your nervousness, she’d run her hand up and down your arm in attempts to calm down but this was literally a hard launch and you didn’t know how she would react.
the video gets uploaded and you nervously move the remote towards the video to click on it.
“leah?” the girl mumbles in slight shock, you lean into her, kissing her cheek quickly before pressing play. the opening chords of the piano had leah’s heart already lurching.
the video is an edited video of you and leah throughout the years. all of them filmed by you. it had videos from your dates, at home, cuddling, sleeping, kissing, everything.
‘you’re so pretty, when you smile it kills me’
your voice sings out, leah immediately tenses against you. tears were already filling in both of your eyes, leah holds onto you tightly, completely engrossed on the screen and your voice.
‘can’t stop thinking, about the way you kissed me, under the stars’
leah laughs fondly at some of the silly videos in video, a full play by play of your relationship presented to the world in the most beautiful way. when it gets to the more recent moments of your relationship, leah squeezes you gently, her breath hitching when footage of your wedding plays. you’re both crying at this point.
‘you’re the only person left, so hold me. don’t leave me’
your song finishes, the final clip you and leah sharing your first kiss as a married couple, smiling brightly with each other and walking down the aisle together excitedly before a picture of you and leah is left on the screen and then turning into a black screen.
you in leah sit in silence just crying, she pulls you into a tight embrace, her face tucked into the crook of your neck as her tears pool out of her eyes.
“i love you, i love you so much” she cries, holding onto you tightly like you could disappear at any moment.
“i love you so much, lee” you sniffle with an affectionate giggle, cradling the girl’s head to you as you held onto each other tightly.
after the long embrace, she pulls back to look at you, kissing you sweetly before pulling away again to smile lovingly at you. “sorry for the hard launch” you giggle, wiping the remnants of tears on her cheeks with your thumb. “thank you for the hard launch” she teases, kissing you again.
“the rest of the album is out” you remind and she perks up, “what are we waiting for then?” she exclaims, making you lie on top of her while she plays the album.
“there’s 10 songs, lee, we don’t need to listen to all of it now” you say sheepishly, “such a sap, lovey, 10 whole songs for me? i’m so lucky” she teases, kissing the crown of your head. “of course we need to listen now, i need to support my official wag” you smile up at her, kissing her gently while the sounds of your album drown out in the background.

12 Days of Christmas (Alexia Putellas x Reader)
Summary: When you realize your feelings for Alexia right before Christmas time, you decide to surprise her with 12 presents to show her how you feel.
Tumblr media
A/N: I had this big plan of writing a lot of Christmas stories, but I'm not sure how many more I'll actually manage to write. I did have a lot of fun with this one though.
After I finished I realized that I set it up in a way that it seems like they're training for 12 days straight, so let's just assume it's not 12 consecutive days.
According to everyone you had been pretty dense about realizing that not only did you have feelings for Alexia, but she also felt the same way about you. As Mapi put it, “There were big, blinking neon signs, a whole chorus of people shouting it from the rooftop, and somehow you still didn’t get the message!”
In the end it was her and Ingrid who invited you over for dinner, offered you enough drinks to make you more than a little tipsy, and basically kept you hostage until you finally came to the realization everyone had been waiting for you to reach.
“Oh ,” you said, gaping at your two friends when things finally clicked. Suddenly all the hints Alexia had dropped appeared in a new light. She had even stated at some point that she hoped her future partner would be like you. You had been flattered by that statement, but it still hadn’t crossed your mind that Alexia was actually saying that she wished you would be her girlfriend. The thought of someone like her going for someone like you was too absurd for your mind to even consider.
“Why didn’t she ever say anything?” You asked, uncertainty creeping in your voice. This sounded too good to be true, therefore it probably was. Surely if Alexia felt that strongly about you, she would have expressed it to you at some point. She had to know that everyone would be lucky to have her.
“You haven’t really given her any signs that you feel the same,” Mapi replied, “You even have been kind of dismissive of her lately.” This was true, however the only reason you had put some distance between the two of you was because you had started to realize your own feelings for Alexia and didn’t know how else to fight them. It had never occurred to you that she might feel the same.
“Oh,” you said again, making Mapi and Ingrid chuckle. “What do I do now?”
“You tell her, idiota!” Mapi exclaimed with Ingrid nodding along enthusiastically. There was nothing wrong with this suggestion, but in your opinion merely telling Alexia wasn’t nearly enough. You had been hurting Alexia without meaning to with your aloofness, so this had to be special, a big gesture to show her how much she meant to you.
With Christmas time coming up it didn’t take you long to plan something. You decided to base it on the song “Twelve Days of Christmas” and surprise her with a little something every day, before revealing your identity on the last day.
When you came up with it on a night in November with a generous amount of wine, it seemed like a great idea, but soon enough the doubt set it. Maybe Alexia had already moved on? Why would he wait for someone like you? Maybe it was too much? You didn’t want to come on too strong! Maybe you shouldn’t use the phrase “true love” from the song? This was definitely coming on too strong, right?
You had told some of your teammates about your plans and they were quick to reassure you. “She will love it,” Mapi encouraged you. Seeing as she had known Alexia for a very long time, you decided to trust her opinion and go through with it. If someone would do something like this for you, you would greatly appreciate it, so there was no reason to believe Alexia would feel differently. Unless she didn’t actually like you, but then again this would allow you to see her reaction before revealing yourself. It gave you time to blow off the entire thing if she seemed weirded out by it or gave you any indication that she was hoping it was someone other than you.  
-----------------------------------------------------
On the first day of Christmas your true love sent to you a peeled orange
Expect small surprises for the next twelve days and then I will reveal my identity.
With bated breath you watched Alexia from the corner of your eyes after training on the first of December. You had put the first surprise in her bag earlier today. Waiting for her to find it was torturous. Suddenly you second-guessed every single thing about it, the words you had written, the present itself, the whole plan with the surprises. 
You especially cursed this first present, it was such a small and stupid thing. What if Alexia didn’t get the reference? You should have explained it, but every time you began writing a note it sounded wrong and condescending in some way as if you didn’t trust her to make the connection herself.
Just when you reached the point where you were about to do something drastic so Alexia never found the present, like pretending you fainted, the midfielder made a surprised noise. Then she looked up, letting her gaze wander through the changing room. You quickly diverted your eyes, afraid of giving yourself away. You weren’t sure if you had been quick enough because you could feel Alexia’s eyes resting on you.
“Did one of you guys put that here?” Alexia asked into the room. A few of your teammates went over to her to look at what ‘that’ was, confirming once they took a peek that it hadn’t been them.
You on the other hand stood rooted in your spot. Somehow you hadn’t expected Alexia to ask questions and now you were faced with a new dilemma, should you answer honestly or was it okay to stay silent? This really had been a stupid idea!
“It says here that they will reveal their identity in 12 days, so just stay patient, Ale,” Mapi pointed out and you could have hugged her right then and there. You risked a quick glance at Alexia and the girls around her and were relieved to see a smile on Alexia’s face. Maybe this hadn’t been the worst idea after all?
-----------------------------------------------------
On the second day of Christmas your true love sent to you two golden earrings
The next day Alexia lingered uncharacteristically long in the changing room before training. This posed a problem for you as you had to wait for her to leave to hide her next present. You did your best to appear busy to hopefully avoid Alexia’s suspicions, but the more time passed the more difficult it got.
Once again it was Mapi coming to your rescue, “What are you doing, Ale? Come on!” Reluctantly Alexia followed her friend and you swiftly placed the day’s surprise in her bag. You would have to come up with a plan to avoid situations like these. It would become obvious very quickly if you were always the last one to leave the dressing room.
After training Alexia raced back to the changing room. You had to fight the urge to copy her, forcing yourself to walk back at a normal pace. All the while you were hoping that Alexia hadn’t found the present yet, you wanted to be there to gauge her reaction. Although when you remembered what that day’s surprise was, you purposefully slowed down some more. It was another thing you were very nervous about, this time not because it was something small, but because it was something pretty big. Earrings you had noticed Alexia looking at when a few of you had been out shopping a little while ago. It was a big thing to get for someone who wasn’t even your girlfriend yet.
When you entered the changing room Alexia was already holding the small box, but she hadn’t opened it yet. Many of the girls were crowded around her, waiting for her to reveal what was inside. Alexia looked up when she heard you open the door and smiled at you. In a moment of panic, afraid you would confirm the presents were from you, you dropped your eyes to the floor. You kicked yourself when you just managed to catch the way her face fell. You were still hurting her by avoiding her! In hopes of making it better you joined the girls around her, peering at the box in her hand.
“Don’t make us wait any longer, Ale, open it!” Patri demanded and Alexia listened to her, a small gasp escaping her when she saw what was inside. Once again she looked at you, but this time you had been prepared and your own gaze was firmly locked on the earrings. Technically the note hadn’t been totally correct, they weren’t golden earrings. They were small flowers with three petals, one gold, one rose gold and one silver.
“Wow these are beautiful,” Keira expressed and many of the girls echoed that statement. You wanted nothing more than to look at Alexia, study her face minutely and ensure you were making her happy, but you were worried she would catch your eyes once again. At least you got to hear the emotion in her voice as she said, “Yes they are. I saw them a few weeks ago when we went shopping, but I didn’t end up buying them. And now
now I have them.”
-----------------------------------------------------
On the third day of Christmas your true love sent to you three candles
To avoid always being one of the last ones to leave the dressing room to hide Alexia’s surprise for the day you enlisted the help of some of your teammates. On the third day Ingrid offered to place the present in Alexia’s bag and you took great care to leave the room before Alexia.  
Mapi caught up with you in the hallway to ask you something, “Why is it even so important that Alexia doesn’t know for sure yet that it’s you? You know she’s hoping it is you.” You didn’t have an easy response to that question, although the answer was definitely connected to Mapi’s second statement. The thought of Alexia actually hoping it was you, made your heart flutter happily, but a dark shadow of doubt quickly snuffed out your joy.  
On this day you had to wait for Alexia to come to the dressing room once again because Jonatan wanted to talk with her about something after training. This unfortunately allowed you to over think the third present. This time you weren’t worried that it was too big or too small, but you began fretting if it was too generic. Everyone knew that Alexia loved candles and you had taken great care to pick three scents that she loved – lavender, sea breeze and a Christmassy one with a lot of cinnamon – still candles weren’t the most unique or special gift.
Once again you didn’t have any reason to worry. Alexia entered the changing room with an excited face, instantly looking through her bag. Most of the girls had stopped changing as she walked in to watch her. Some knew what that day’s surprise was and were like you interested in seeing Alexia’s reaction, but many didn’t know what was waiting for their captain and they had become invested in it as well. In some ways that was flattering, in other ways that made you stress about it even more.
Therefore it was a relief when the candles were met by approval all around, although the only reaction that really mattered to you was Alexia’s. She had a huge smile on her face as she smelled all of the candles several times and excitedly passed them around your teammates, urging everyone to check for themselves how good they smelled.
“Be careful though,” Alexia reminded them. “Yes, yes we are, don’t worry about your precious candles,” Pina retorted teasingly. “Well they are very precious to me because they come from someone very special.” Your heart skipped a beat when you heard that last statement and the fact that Alexia’s eyes once again fell on you and stayed there for a good amount of time didn’t help your composure at all.
-----------------------------------------------------
On the fourth day of Christmas your true love sent to you four lines from songs
Please Keep Loving Me – James TW “Wherever I go, whatever I do The map on my heart leads to you”
I’ll Be There – Jess Glynn “Oh, I swear, I got enough love for two You'll never be alone, I'll be there for you”
That Part – Lauren Spencer-Smith “The only way this is gonna hurt Is if we got old, and you were the one to go first”
Maybe This Christmas – Ron Sexsmith “Maybe this year love will appear Deeper than ever before”
You thought you had been nervous about your surprises before, but on the fourth day you reached a whole new level of worrying. This was the first time you had gone very personal, and that with music of all things. You had always been reluctant to tell others about the songs you liked, it offered up such an intimate view of your innermost self, so for you this was a big step.
To avoid hearing any comments about the songs you had picked, you lingered longer than necessary on the pitch. When you were absolutely sure that Alexia must have looked at the surprise by now, you walked into the dressing room, avoiding any look in her direction.
“Now that she’s here can you finally look at it?” Pina demanded, keeping her voice quiet, but it was still loud enough that everyone could hear her. Alexia glared at her and you would have as well if you weren’t too busy freaking out about what this meant, apparently everyone knew who the presents were from. And even worse in just a few seconds the songs you had picked would be revealed to everyone.
Once again you considered doing something extreme to stop the inevitable, but before you could even come up with a plan Alexia had already unfolded the paper. Silence followed and after a few agonizing moments it prompted you to look up to figure out what the lack of words could mean. Your eyes connected directly with Alexia’s. Hers were filled with tears and for one horrible second you thought you had upset her, then you registered the fond smile and you could breathe again.
“Oh this is so sweet! You have to go and listen to these songs as soon as you can,” Frido commented and Alexia was quick to agree. Another wave of panic hit you. Obviously you had been aware that Alexia would listen to the songs, but now that you were presented with that reality you weren’t too sure about it anymore. What if she didn’t like them? What if she thought they were silly?
There was nothing you could do about it now. And if you really hoped to have a relationship with Alexia you couldn’t hide your true self anyway. Therefore you did your best to keep the nagging voice in your mind as quiet as possible and got changed with fumbling fingers.
-----------------------------------------------------
On the fifth day of Christmas your true love sent to you five chocolate hearts (and her real heart)
The next day Mapi took it upon herself to help soothe some of your insecurities about the gift from the day before that still followed you around like a lost puppy. Shortly after you had walked into the dressing room she turned to Alexia and asked her about the songs from the fourth gift.
Alexia didn’t waste any time before she started gushing about them, “Oh I absolutely loved them! It was so special listening to them knowing that someone had picked them specifically for me. I ended up playing them all evening.” Your heart filled with warmth, this was exactly what you had been hoping for. You made a quick note to thank Mapi later.
For once you didn’t feel as nervous about that day’s present. You had made five chocolate hearts and decorated each of them with a different symbol of love; one with roses, one with a somewhat shaky infinity symbol you had drawn yourself, one with small hearts, one with a figurine of two swans and one with shells.  The only thing you were unsure about was the addition of ‘and her real heart’. Then again you had been using the phrase ‘your true love’ in every note so this wasn’t a big deal compared to that.
“They look amazing. Which one do you like best?” Ona asked, peering over Alexia’s shoulder.  Curious about her answer, you took a step closer to them. What you didn’t expect was for Alexia’s response to be, “Her real heart.” This went straight to your own heart and made it grow a little bigger with love and joy.
-----------------------------------------------------
On the sixth day of Christmas your true love sent to you six reasons why she likes you
1. You have the biggest heart. 2. You have remained so modest despite being one of the best football players on earth (the best in my humble opinion!). 3. You are extremely loyal and everyone in your life (me included of course) knows they can always count on you. 4. You never give up, no matter what obstacles you face you keep going and you can be so proud of yourself for that (I know I am). 5. Your smile lights up every room and I can’t get enough of it. 6. You are absolutely stunning (sometimes I actually stop breathing when you’re around).
 This time you also didn’t worry as much as you had on the first few days. Everyone liked hearing, or in this case reading, nice things about themselves, so this felt safe in comparison to some of the other presents. Maybe it was a little sappy, but then again so was this entire thing and so far Alexia seemed to enjoy it.
It was a welcome change that for once you were mostly excited to see Alexia’s reaction. A little concern lingered, rooted mostly in fears that your reasons sounded superficial, but you had written that they were just six reasons why you liked her, alluding that there were many more. So hopefully Alexia wouldn’t think about it too hard.
You did your best to watch Alexia open the paper without being too obvious. However you realized that you didn’t care as much anymore about being stealthy, it was probably futile anyway. This newfound courage to be more blatant allowed you to see the adorable blush appearing on Alexia’s face as she read the note. It was one of the things you loved about her, how flustered she still got by attention and praise.
“What is it today?” Pina wanted to know, trying to lean over Alexia’s shoulder to peek at the paper, but the midfielder pushed her away and quickly folded your note up again. “That’s not for you Pina!”
“Oh is it something dirty?” Patri piped up and now it was your turn to blush. You didn’t want your teammates to think you were writing dirty letters. Not that you were opposed to that, but that would be between you and Alexia and definitely only after you had successfully wooed the girl.
“No Patri, it’s just very personal,” Alexia huffed. You could tell that not everyone was convinced and you had to turn away to hide your red face.
-----------------------------------------------------
On the seventh day of Christmas your true love sent to you seven flowers of love
red tulip – true love dahlia – a lasting bond red chrysanthemum – love amaryllis – admiration for your beauty and grace dark red carnation – deep love and affection camellia – love, affection and admiration forget-me-not – true love
For your surprise on the seventh day you had to recruit one of the staff members to help you out. You needed to hide the flowers in a place where they could be put in water and someone had to place them in Alexia’s bag shortly before training ended. Thankfully one of the physios had heard about the whole thing and was instantly willing to help you out.
Everything worked out exactly as you had planned it and Alexia spotted the flowers as soon as she entered the dressing room. She walked over to her spot with a spring in her step and a huge smile on her face. Carefully Alexia took the flowers out of her bag, bringing them up to her face to smell them.
“You’re really getting spoiled here, Ale,” Sandra commented, “Do you have any idea who’s behind all of these surprises.”
Up until this point you had been watching Alexia openly, when you heard Sandra’s question you quickly diverted your gaze to your own stuff. Still you could feel Alexia’s eyes landing on you as she answered her teammate, “Yes, I have. But I’ll wait until the final day because I need to be absolutely sure. And I’m really enjoying these surprises, so I don’t want to spoil it.”
The hope and joy you felt was hard to put into words. Hope that Alexia was actually hoping it was you, that she wanted to be with you as much as you wanted to be with her. Joy because despite all of your worrying that it was silly or too much or not enough or just outright stupid it seemed like you were in fact making Alexia happy with your daily presents and that had been your intention all along. You wanted to make her feel as loved and appreciated as she was.
-----------------------------------------------------
On the eighth day of Christmas your true love sent to you eight wishes
P.S. You’ll see the wishes once you light the lights.
You almost didn’t manage to prepare the surprise for the eighth day in time. The idea was to hide small round messages on the bottom of tea lights, something you had seen online. It had looked so easy, but apparently not all tea lights were usable for this craft. This left you running back to the store late at night to get different ones. Thankfully with the second batch things worked out and you managed to hide the eight wishes in them.
Since there wasn’t much space on the circles, you had chosen one word wishes. After some debating and still not entirely convinced if they weren’t too generic, you settled on ‘Love’, ‘Friendship’, ‘Health’, ‘Success’, ‘Laughter’, ‘Adventure’, ‘Sunshine’ and ‘Happiness’.
You didn’t have high expectations for Alexia’s reaction to this surprise. It would only become special once she lit the candles and saw the messages. At the same time this meant that you didn’t have to be nervous about it.
There was however one thing you hadn’t considered. By now all of your teammates were excited to see the day’s surprise and it had become a thing that Alexia waited until everyone was back in the dressing room to look at her present. Some crowded around her, others like yourself stayed at their spot and watched from there. With so many people it was inevitable that someone made a thoughtless comment when they saw the tea lights, “Candles again? That’s not very interesting and the other ones were much more special.”
Everyone was quick to scold Pina for her remark and she apologized right away, still you could feel tears stinging in your eyes and a weight settle in your stomach. Most of all you were frustrated with yourself, it shouldn’t matter what someone else said about it, this was for Alexia and Alexia only. However the fact that she hadn’t said anything yet, didn’t help your emotional state at all. This had to be an indication that she felt the same.
“If you guys are going to be like this, I won’t look at the presents with you around anymore! First of all I love lighting candles in the winter, it makes my apartment much cozier. So the fact that the person sending these gifts knows this means a lot to mean. Then as it says on the note there are wishes hidden in the tea lights which makes it even more special. But you know what the most important thing about these surprises is for me? That someone takes the time to do something special for me, that someone has planned this all out just to make me happy and show their love. So I’m not asking, I’m telling you to never say anything like that anymore.”
Everyone was surprised by Alexia’s outburst, you most of all. Even more tears were flooding your eyes, this time out of happiness. Seeing Alexia’s reaction everyday had given you enough reason to believe you were succeeding in making her feel loved and special, but actually hearing it was even better. It squashed most of your doubts, only leaving the most deep-rooted ones alive.
“Well said, Ale,” Mapi complimented and everyone went back to changing.
In the parking lot Pina caught up to you and apologized again, “I’m really sorry. What you’ve been doing is so amazing and we can all see how happy it makes Ale. I can’t wait for the twelfth day. It’s going to be like a movie.”
-----------------------------------------------------
On the ninth day of Christmas your true love sent to you nine shooting stars
As nice as wishes from other people are, even more important are the ones you make for yourself. So maybe think about a wish each time you eat one of the cookies?
During training on the ninth day Mapi came up to you, “You look much more relaxed today. Something I should know about?” You could guess easily what she was alluding to, she probably assumed Alexia and you had decided not to wait until the twelfth day to confess your feelings for each other.
You shrugged your shoulder and replied, “No, just feeling good today.” Until Mapi had mentioned it you hadn’t even notice that you weren’t stressing about the day’s surprise at all. That realization made you even happier and it was subsequently one of the best training sessions you had had lately. Jonatan even commented on it, praising you for your performance. And when you caught Alexia’s eyes, she grinned at you and gave you a thumbs up. You heart stuttered at this gesture. By now you were really excited for the last day to roll around.
After training you didn’t even try to be subtle about watching Alexia anymore, there really was no need. By now seemingly everyone had figured out you were the secret gift giver. Plus everyone else was doing the same anyway, so it would have been more suspicious if you had turned away.
This meant you had a good view of the excitement on Alexia’s face before she looked at the present, and the joy and love once she opened it. It amazed you that you were capable of making her this happy and it had easily become one of your favorite things by now. You would never get enough of bring her joy. And Alexia’s dazzling smile made it even more worthwhile.
“Do you know what you’re going to wish for?” Lucy questioned. Alexia quickly glanced at her before looking directly at you when answering, “Yes, I know at least one wish already. And I really hope it’ll come true.”
-----------------------------------------------------
On the tenth day of Christmas your true love sent to you ten deciliters of liquid gold
The tenth day was mostly just as pleasant as the day before. A nice new development was that Alexia and you kept exchanging smiles throughout the entire training session. Sometimes you even kept looking at each other longer than what could be considered normal for teammates, but you couldn’t care less. You didn’t even mind that some of the others were talking about it, at least if their whispering, smiles and glances at both of you were anything to go on. Only two more days until Alexia would hopefully be yours.
The only thing tarnishing your happiness was that every once in a while you were hit by a stab of irrational fear that maybe Alexia wouldn’t want you after all, that maybe she was hoping it was someone else. Whenever it happened your mood dropped for a short moment and you had to fight the urge to snap at everyone around you. Fortunately it never lasted long. As soon as you had another silent conversation with Alexia your worries were blown away.
“This looks so pretty, do you know what it is?” Ingrid asked, while Alexia was staring mesmerized at the bottle of liquid gold you had made for her. You kicked yourself for not including a little note, explaining that it was an alcoholic drink. With how beautiful it looked, it was easy to assume it was just something to watch.
Patri came over to you and whispered into your ear, “Tell me what it is and then I will pretend I know what it is because I saw it on the internet or something.” You burst out laughing, prompting everyone to turn around and look at you. However the only person you had eyes for was Alexia, who looked at you both with amusement and some questions written on her face. Even though no one would believe Patri’s ploy, you decided to play along. You wanted Alexia to know what the liquid gold was and you didn’t want to end the “secret” gift giving now, not when you were this close to the end.
“It’s something to drink with apple juice, wine, cinnamon and other things,” you explained quietly. Patri nodded and walked back towards the group as soon as you finished speaking.
“I think I know what it is, a drink with apple juice, wine, cinnamon and some other things,” she parroted and then quickly added, “I saw it somewhere online.” Everyone started chuckling, not buying Patri’s pathetic excuse for a minute.
“Sounds tasty. So are you getting drunk tonight?” Mapi asked through her laughter.
“No, I want to wait to drink it with my true love.” A happy shudder went though you when you heard Alexia use the phrase you had been so nervous about. And for once there were no doubts lingering that she might be talking about someone other than you. The way Alexia made sure to catch your eyes and the adoration radiating from her didn’t leave any room for negative thoughts.
-----------------------------------------------------
On the eleventh day of Christmas your true love sent to you eleven (or more) minutes of relaxation
For the second to last gift you decided to make a last minute addition. Originally the care package you had made for Alexia included some fluffy socks, different tea bags, a bath bomb, a face mask and a cozy blanket. In the morning before leaving for training you decided to add a little note to it.
I can’t wait to help you relax much more soon. I’m talking about massages by the way! And maybe other things

At this point you didn’t even care if any your teammates saw the note. You would prefer it if they didn’t, but it wouldn’t be the end of the world if they did. There was nothing holding you back anymore, no more anxiety, no more over thinking, you were just excited for the next day when you could finally be with Alexia.
Training seemed to take forever and you were already dreading how it would be the next day. Technically there was nothing holding you back, no rule saying that you had to wait, but after committing to it for so many days you didn’t want to abandon your plan now.   
“You can definitely use some relaxation with how keyed up you are today,” Mapi remarked when Alexia opened this day’s present. You had noticed throughout the day that you weren’t the only one that seemed to be impatient. It was oddly flattering that you had such an effect on Alexia, the same she had on you.
“True, but I doubt I can relax today. I’m too excited for tomorrow,” Alexia replied, sending a big smile your way. You returned it along with a nod. The same was true for you.
“Wait what is that?” Patri asked, grabbing the secret note that had fallen to the ground. Of course it had and of course Patri was the one to see it. Luckily Alexia’s speed came to your rescue and she snatched it from your teammate before she got a chance to look at it. “That’s not for you!”  
“Oh la la, so it’s something dirty?” She pressed on, earning an eye roll from Alexia. “Why do you always assume it’s something dirty? How old are you?” It was a good comeback, however one look at your read face was all that Patri needed to confirm her suspicions. At least she didn’t say anything out loud about it, she made do with whispering with Pina about it.
When Alexia left the dressing room, she walked past you and muttered under her breath, “I can’t wait for it, hermosa. And I will definitely return the favor.” It was safe to say that it took you a while to get yourself under enough control again to leave the dressing room yourself. The next day really couldn’t come fast enough.
-----------------------------------------------------
On the twelfth day of Christmas your true love sent to you twelve kisses (if you can figure out who I am and you want them of course)
Just as you had predicted training on the twelfth day was miserable. It was never ending and neither you nor Alexia managed to focus on it, so you kept messing up. The trainer staff didn’t comment on it, by now even they had heard about the twelve presents thing.
After training Alexia locked eyes with you, nodding with her head to the dressing room. You understood the signal, she wanted to make sure you hurried up. This reminder wasn’t at all necessary, there was nothing you wanted more than to finally, finally kiss her.
All your teammates matched your speed and all around you were eager faces. For someone that didn’t like PDA you had set this up surprisingly public. Then again you didn’t want to hide your love for Alexia, everyone should know how much she meant to you.
Alexia quickly looked at the note of the day, before spinning around and marching over to you. She stopped in front of you, joy radiating from every inch of her body. However when she opened her mouth to ask you a question, there was some small sliver of doubt left, “It’s you, right? Please don’t tell me I got this wrong.”
“Oh my god, Ale, of course it’s her!” Patri shouted from the other side of the dressing room. Alexia didn’t react to her at all, she kept her gaze firmly trained on you. You reached out with one hand, gently cupping the side of her face, tracing your thumb over her cheek. It was the most wonderful feeling that you finally got to do this.
“Yes, it’s me,” you confirmed. For one second you saw the pure delight on Alexia’s face, before she stepped closer, wrapped her arms around your waist and softly kissed you. The moment you felt her lips on yours, your eyes fluttered shut and the entire world except for Alexia stopped existing.
Unfortunately the world made itself rudely known again when your teammates started clapping and cheering. Slightly embarrassed the two of you disconnected your lips, but when Alexia wanted to put some distance between you, you grabbed her hand and pulled her to your side. Now that you finally had her, you didn’t want to let her go again so soon.
“I’m supposed to give you kisses, not the other way around,” you quietly told Alexia, trying to speak at a volume that didn’t allow for eavesdropping.
“Oh don’t worry, I intend to collect all of them. Just like the help with relaxation you offered yesterday,” Alexia responded with a smirk, “I don’t have anything as special planned as you, but can I take you on a date tonight?”
Happiness flowed through your entire body, things like didn’t usually happen to you. How did you get so lucky? You leaned close to Alexia and whispered you answer into her ear, “You absolutely can. There’s nothing else I’d rather do. And I will gladly pay off all my debts tonight.”
“So where are you guys going?” Pina wanted to know.
“That’s a surprise for Y/N. And I will 100 % not tell you lot, otherwise you’ll show up there,” Alexia answered.
“Honestly you’re not wrong, but I’m sure we’ll be sick of you two being all lovey dovey soon enough,” Mapi said.
“Challenge excepted,” you retorted, grinning at Alexia. In all honesty this wouldn’t even be a challenge. You already desperately wanted to kiss her again.  However you would wait until you had some more privacy and you could go as far as you both wanted. Because you had a feeling that once you guys started you wouldn’t be able to stop.

đŸ„șđŸ„șđŸ„ș so cutee
Playing Favourites
Arsenal Women x Child!Reader
Summary: You definitely have favourites in the Arsenal squad
Tumblr media
Leah, as a football player, is very cool.
Leah, as a sister, is a bit annoying.
It's clear to everyone that you were the happy little accident of the family, so much younger than your siblings, but Leah especially enjoyed taking you everywhere with her.
It wasn't uncommon for her to kidnap you from Milton Keynes and make the long drive back to the Arsenal training grounds. Honestly, your parents kind of just accepted Leah's loud presence in your life without complaint.
She was quite annoying though, sometimes. Like now, when she woke you up super early to take you to practice with her.
You were grouchy and moody but looked especially cute in your Arsenal puffer jacket and your little hat.
"Come on, bean," She says, hoisting you up onto her hip as you lag behind.
"Leah," You whine," Tired."
"I know," She says," I know but we're gonna have a lot of fun today. I promise."
You groan anyway, going limp in her arms as she wanders into the locker room. She sets you on your feet as she changes and you groan again as you wander around in an exhausted haze.
You bump into Viv and give her the international sign of 'pick me up please' - grabby hands. She holds you a bit like you're a bomb about to go off but you're relieved all the same. Viv's comfortable and you're happy to rest in her arms.
Jen approaches. "Hey, baby Williamson," She says, reaching out to push your hair out of your face.
You make an annoyed noise and turn away, burying further into Viv - who relaxed slightly now that you've gotten comfortable.
"Oh, come on." Jen pops up on your other side. "You can't really be choosing Viv over me? I'm way more fun!"
You turn your head away again and shut your eyes. Your breathing slowly changes into soft puffs against Viv's collarbone and your head lulls.
Viv has to change her hold to make sure you don't go tumbling to the ground.
"Looking good Miedema!" Beth wolf whistles but Viv ignores her, focussed on making sure that your hat is firmly on your head.
You're kind of in a half-sleep state - still kind of awake to know that Viv is moving outside with you but asleep enough that when your eyes finally blink open again, you feel more well rested than when Leah got you bundled into the car this morning.
You rub at your eyes and stubbornly turn away from Leah when she comes over to grab you.
"Bean," She says in disbelief as you slip from her grasp and hide behind the better Lia's legs," Come on! Are you still upset?"
"She woke me up early," You tell Lia, who affectionately rubs a hand through your hair. "Meanie." You stick your tongue out.
Lia laughs. "Yeah, she is a meanie."
"Meanie!" You say again.
"Hey! I'm your sister! You can't call me that!"
"Meanie! Meanie! Meanie!" You stamp your feet and glare.
Lia laughs and hoists you up onto her hip when your sister goes to grab you. "Come on, bean," She says," Let's get away from this meanie!"
You spend a lot of training with Lia and you also branch out to Kyra too. You don't know her at all. She's very new to the team and she's Australian too, like Caitlin and Steph, so she's very exciting.
You kick the ball away from her, one hand wrapped tightly around her shorts so she can't run away from you.
"You're Leah's sister, right? y/n?"
You nod. "Uh-huh. You're Kyra."
"I am."
"You've got a cool accent," You say. You take her hand, swinging it back and forth," Let's be friends."
She sends you a silly smile, kneeling down to your level. "I know another little girl like you. Her name's Harper. You can't be much older."
You nod along. "Does that mean you know how to play?"
"I do know how to play. What do you want to do?"
You think for a moment before slapping her on the leg. "You're it!" You turned to run as fast as your little legs will carry you.
Kyra laughs as she runs after you, catching up to you a few times but dramatically tripping on her own feet when she's about to tag you.
You weave through the groups of girls training, ducking and dashing through their open legs so Kyra can't grab at you.
"Whoa, bean!" Steph says, grabbing you by your waist when you clamber through the gap between her legs," Be careful. I could have crushed you."
From the angle she's holding you at, you can't quite see Kyra yet. You don't know where she's going to pop out of so you try to push Steph's hands off of you, not at all in the mood to play her games.
"Whoa! You got somewhere to be, bean? You can't hang out with me?"
"Let go!" You say firmly, trying to push her hands off," Kyra's gonna get me. Let go, Steph!"
Steph sets you down at your insistence, glancing around, but doesn't quite relinquish her grip on you. "Sorry to break it to you, bean, but I think Jonas needs Kyra for something."
"Steph!" You groan as though it's her fault that Kyra could no longer find you.
"Sorry," She says," How about I play with you instead? That'll be fun, huh, bean?"
You roll your eyes, turning away. "No, Steph. You never play right."
With your game with Kyra suitably ruined by adult jobs and all of your running finally catching up to you, you end up near Lotte.
She's always nice and calm and lets you nap against when you're sleepy.
You're yawning when you finally make it over to her and the new girl. You recognise the new girl vaguely but you're very sleepy and Lotte looks nice and warm so you clamber onto her lap without thinking.
"Oh!" The new girl says, almost gasping at your sudden appearance.
"Leah's little sister," Lotte explains. She jostles you slightly. "Hey, bean, say hi to Alessia."
"Hi, Alessia," You parrot but your attention is waning and that's all the words they get out of you as you sag against Lotte's chest.
"I think I recognise her," Alessia says," Leah gave away her Euro's medal to her, after we won."
"I have all of Leah's medals," You slur, somehow still awake.
Your shirt's ridden up a bit so Alessia moves to pull it down, only to get her hands clumsily swatted away. "No," You say," No play. Sleep."
"Don't mind bean," Lotte explains," She needs a nap and Katie's favourite thing is pulling her shirt up and blowing raspberries on her stomach."
Alessia laughs and that rubs you the wrong way and you uselessly swat in her general direction. "Sleep," You insist," Night-Night."
You conk out pretty quickly on Lotte's chest when new-girl-Alessia finally quietens. You're not quite sure how long you were sleeping because you come back into awareness inside so there's no moving sun to see if you were sleeping a long time.
You recognise these arms though and you really don't want to be in them, given your rather sour start to the day. With your uncoordinated limbs, you try to push yourself away but the person holding you keeps readjusting their grip, keeping you trapped.
"No," You whine," No, wrong. Wrong."
"Wrong?" You sister laughs," What's wrong, bean?"
"You."
"Me?"
"Want the other Leah," You insist," Lia! Lia!"
"Give her here." You're transferred into the Lia you wants' arms and relax instantly into them, yawning and rubbing the sleep from your eyes.
"Oh, I see," Your actual Leah scoffed," I see, bean. Playing favourites? Really? You don't even have good taste. We all know I'm the superior LW."
"No!" You say stubbornly," Lia's the best!"
Lia laughs, hoisting you up further on her hip. "Well," She says," The bean has spoken."

I love it!! Take me or Leave Me has been one of my favorite broadway song and mix it with leah, it’s just ✹Chef’s Kiss✹
take me or leave me
Tumblr media
leah williamson x reader
obsessed with this song. my musical era is back.
anyone here watched rent? if you want a visual of how reader kinda acts while performing, click this link.
———
You met Leah when she attended an awards show two years ago. You’d say at the same table and got to talking. She asked for your number and the two of you would be texting and calling all the time.
Eventually, she asked you on a date, taking you to dinner at a secluded section in the restaurant. That night was a night that you could never forget. She let you talk about your career and passions while you did the same for her.
You were from two different worlds, being well known in your own ways, but understand each other, for the most part.
Two years in, and your relationship still strong. You did have some arguments here and there, that’s normal, but what you learned over the years was how jealous she could get. It was amazing to have someone love you so much that they don’t want anyone coming in between that, but sometimes her jealousy becomes too much, like today.
You invited her and some of her friends to a night out with some of your friends. Your two worlds colliding once more.
Being in a relationship with you, she knew how many people ‘desired’ you. You’ve been a public figure since you were a teen. You’ve had costars who’ve tried to date you, others who openly flirt with you and always reassure Leah that she’s the only one you want. She knows that. Doesn’t mean she has to like the way men and women throw themselves at you.
Today was another one of those days, except this time her jealousy seemed to have amplified. Your friends traveled all the way to London to visit you, Leah inviting some of her Arsenal teammates, meeting at a little karaoke club.
Just an hour of being here, Leah’s mood sours. She keeps seeing people coming up to you, some were fans and some who ‘wanted to get to know you’ and not in a friendly matter. It came to a point where she started to ignore you, staying by her friends.
You’ve had enough of it, so you thought of a way to grab her attention. You grabbed your friend Alex and walked up to the person in charge of the karaoke performances. Leaning down to his ear, you whisper your song choice, he gives you a smile and a thumbs up.
“Alright, alright!” He announces on the microphone getting everyone’s attention. “We’ve got some broadway royalty with us today! Here to perform a classic from hit musical Rent, Y/N Y/LN and Alexis Thomas.
That got Leah’s attention. She directs her eyes towards the stage where you and Alex stood, microphones in hand. Leah or her friends didn’t know this musical, none of them have ever been into broadway musicals so they didn’t know what to expect. You knew this would get her more jealous, but this is what she gets for ignoring you.
Every single day I walk down the street I hear people say "Baby" so sweet
Ever since puberty Everybody stares at me Boys, girls I can't help it, baby
You look to where Leah sat, shrugging your shoulders.
So be kind And don't lose your mind Just remember That I'm your baby
You point a finger towards her.
Take me for what I am Who I was meant to be And if you give a damn Take me baby or leave me Take me baby or leave me
You take your coat off, revealing an outfit that shows more skin than Leah would like. You walk over to where she sat, draping the coat over Lia’s shoulders.
A tiger in a cage Can never see the sun This diva needs her stage Baby, let's have fun!
You walk around to your girlfriend, pulling her chair back and sit sideways in her lap, arm draped over her shoulder.
You are the one I choose Folks would kill to fill your shoes You love the limelight too now, baby
You take the strap of your top, slowly dropping it from your shoulder, teasing her.
So be mine But don't waste my time Cryin', "Oh honeybear Are you still my, my, my baby?"
Leah’s arms wrap around your waist, pulling you closer.
Take me for what I am Who I was meant to be And if you give a damn Take me baby or leave me
You turn in her lap, now straddling her, the hand not holding the microphone grabs the back of her neck, yanking her face to yours, nose barely grazing.
No way, can I be what I'm not But hey, don't you want your girl hot? Don't fight, don't lose your head 'Cause every night, who's in your bed?
She tries to hold onto you as you climb out of her lap. You place a hand on her chest, pushing her back and give her a flying kiss, walking back to the stage.
Who, who's in your bed? Kiss, pookie
Alex starts her part. You’ve both sang this song together so many times that the routine is muscle memory.
It won't work, I look before I leap I love margins and discipline I make lists in my sleep Baby, what's my sin?
Never quit, I follow through I hate mess, but I love you What to do with my impromptu baby?
She starts stalking towards you as you back up, running a finger up your arm. She grabs at your face softly, bringing your face close to hers.
So be wise 'Cause this girl satisfies You've got a prize, so don't compromise You're one lucky baby
Leah squirms in her seat, not liking how you and your friend are touchy, steam practically blowing out of her ears. Her friends start to tease her, jealousy easily seen in her face.
As the songs finishes, Leah is quick off her seat, rushing towards you. She grabs your wrist, pulling you towards what you assume the restroom. You turn your head towards your friends and Leah’s teammates, giving them a wink.
Shutting the bathroom door, she pushes you against it, leaning down so you’re face to face.
“What was that?”
“What was what?” You ask innocently.
“That’s little show you did there?”
“Oh, that.” You extend the ‘a’. “That’s just a little something me and Alex love to perform.”
“Was all the touching really necessary?”
“Yes.”
She looked at you shocked. “What d’you mean ‘yes.’”
“The only way I thought to get your attention after ignoring me all night.”
“People were all over you!”
“And what did the song say? Something like ‘Take me baby or leave me.’”
You give her a quick, but passionate kiss, pushing her away. Making sure to fix yourself it the mirror, you give her a wink, leaving a stunned Leah in the restroom.

“Every day I fall in love with you more and more. Except yesterday, yesterday you were pretty annoying.”
Earl E. Bird
Tumblr media
❝ Hey, enough of that now, [reader]. ❞ Keira said as she removed the glass of alcohol from your fingers.
Reddened cheeks, sore expressive marks from the smile printed for so long and of course, the smell of the classic beer between the lips.
❝ Just one more round, please. ❞ The sly tone came out deliberately from your mouth, while you firmly grabbed one of the english's arms.
❝ Leave the child. It's been a while since she touched a bottle of alcohol. ❞ Stanway said between chuckles, also drinking.
❝ No?! Leah will kill me if she sees that I let her drink so much. ❞ It was very clear how desperate she was. ❝ And well
 You know. ❞
❝ About the fact that she's going to go crazy not just because of this? ❞ The other english asked.
❝ Exactly. ❞
❝ I already said that Leah doesn't have to interfere in my life. ❞ You grumbled at your girlfriend’s negligence.
❝ Don't say it like that... ❞ Walsh was practically defending the english defender's side.
In fact, you were a little to blame for this whole situation and Keira was right. You should have told your sister from the first day you started dating.
And that's been five months.
It could even be a record, you could never keep a secret for that long. One day or another, Leah will find out.
❝ What the fuck are you whispering my name now? ❞ A mature and feminine voice rose from the beginning of the division between the living room and the kitchen.
❝ Nothing of your interest. ❞ You shout louder than usual.
Georgia and Keira burst into giggles at your sudden cheer.
The four of you were in Stanway's apartment, which was one of the main meeting points for drinks almost every weekend.
Leah and you were the famous dynamic duo of sisters, while the blonde english has a very strong personality, you are the complete opposite.
Seriously, it was actually a shock to Stanway when you took on Keira; You had gotten a girlfriend even before your older sister.
You two were also mostly known for fighting a lot; not just on the pitch. The defender is a completely protective woman when it comes to you.
Maybe because of her protective parental instinct; the fear of being hurt or even for reasons that Leah never told you.
And currently, Leah knowing about you and Keira would probably be the worst thing in the world. First, you lied to her and second, you're dating one of her friends.
❝ Gossiping about others is bad, you know? ❞ The older english made fun of your whispering to the girls, while bringing another bowl of snacks and placing it on top of the central table.
❝ I thought you said you didn’t care about other people’s opinions? ❞ You replied back.
❝ Shut up. ❞ Despite everything, Leah sometimes had a typical stupid attitude. ❝ Didn't you say you had already stopped drinking for today? ❞
Leah looked at Keira across the table, indirectly expecting some answer. After all, she was the one in charge of taking care of you.
❝ I tried. ❞ Walsh defended herself.
❝ Can you stop being like this? ❞ Your lips gestured in a sullen tone.
❝ There are two people older than you here and neither can take a drink from you. ❞ Leah was at least right.
❝ She's not seventeen anymore, Leah. ❞ Stanway opined. ❝ And theoretically it is you who should do this. ❞
Keira turned her eyes to you, eyes that conveyed the only understandable message: begging to stop drinking in Leah's company.
Pout with the lower lips, gradually turning into a short smile. Walsh's concern and advocacy was incredibly adorable.
It's a shame you can't give her a kiss in return.
❝ Okay, do whatever you want, then. ❞ The older blonde clearly didn't want to stress about the whole situation. The responsibility is yours from now on.
❝ Sheesh, you are worse than mom. ❞ You bantered.
❝ Fuck you? ❞ Leah grumbled, snacking on a snack from the bowl.
❝ You go. ❞ You countered.
It slowly turned into an exchange of insults, Walsh and Stanway just watched.
❝ You get ridiculously boring when you drink. ❞
❝ And you don't even have to touch alcohol to know that about you. ❞ That clearly must have hurt Leah inside. Mainly because of her open-mouthed expression.
Georgia tried to put an end to this. ❝ Can you two stop— ❞
❝ Get someone to be your personal babysitter before you say anything. ❞ The English defender spoke louder.
❝ I already have it. ❞ You said without thinking twice.
A regretful silence fell in the living room. And within seconds, you realized the shit you had said; your eyes almost explained.
It was very clear the reductive fear and surprise that hit Keira, especially because her face slowly turned towards you, in disbelief at what you said.
Everything went down the drain.
Stanway was different, she giggled. Because she knew exactly what was coming. ❝ Oh, shit. ❞ She murmured between giggles.
❝ Huh? ❞ It was a pretty loud noise, to be realistic. Eyebrows raised, lips half-open, Leah gradually seemed to squint, trying to understand. ❝ How is that? ❞
It took you exactly seven seconds to formulate some justification. ❝ I meant
 ❞
❝ 
You. ❞ You cleared your throat before saying that.
And Leah clearly didn't buy it.
❝ Shut up, liar. ❞ Williamson slowly came back to reality. ❝ Who? ❞
❝ Who what? ❞ Don't look to Keira, don't look to Keira, don't look to Keira. Play dumb.
❝ Don't act stupid. ❞ Leah replied.
Walsh kept contact with the glass on the table, touching her index finger to the rim of the glass as she begged you not to say anything. The last thing Keira would want was to die in Stanway's messy apartment.
Leah looked at Georgia. What no one told you is that Stanway can't keep secrets in front of Williamson. ❝ Did you know that? ❞
❝ Yes
? ❞ She replied.
And the defender looked at you again. Now worse, you told everyone in your social circle except Leah.
❝ You too? ❞ Referencing Walsh.
Anyone could confirm that she was very nervous. She avoided contact at first instance, and as Keira was at your side; her free fingers played with yours, anxiously under the table.
She just nodded in agreement.
❝ Why didn't you fucking tell me? ❞ Leah grumbled in her own way.
❝ Because you would be harassing me my whole life. ❞ You answered for Keira. In the first few weeks from now on, Williamson will make fun of you a lot. ❝ And you are very threatening. ❞
❝ No, I'm not. ❞ She defends herself. You were turning Leah into a children's story villain.
You looked back at Keira. The alcohol was like a river in your body, alcohol was so effective that it made you the most shameless person in the world. And you must do this.
❝ It's Keira. ❞ You gestured your lips without any fear.
Eyes wide, eyebrows raised and so scared that she seemed to have heard the worst thing in the world; what it actually had been. ❝ What?! ❞
It had been so sudden that Walsh didn't believe it the first time. You crossed your arm around her neck, bringing her closer to you.
If Leah had the onset of a heart attack, you can be sure she would have had an attack right then and there. It wasn't like she didn't like you dating, in fact, Williamson was just afraid of the consequences.
But the fact that Walsh's name was mentioned instead of someone stupid or unknown relieved Leah.
The english defender knew her, which meant she also had knowledge of her previous relationships. And to be honest, Keira Walsh was the best person to date.
However, at the moment, this information was not very useful. Especially when your field of vision only had Leah in shock.
❝ Are you fucking my sister? ❞ Williamson desperately released the words from his lips.
❝ Fucking is a very bad word. ❞ Keira murmured back.
Again, silence remained in the middle of the table. Stanway just blatantly watched the three of you argue, you hugged Walsh with one arm and Leah seemed to think about her words.
❝ Fine. ❞ Leah said with an understandable intonation.
❝ Fine? ❞ You questioned back, after all, such an attitude from your sister was the least expected.
❝ It could be worse, for example, if it were Geo. ❞ This caused Stanway to choke on her own drink, forcing the glass onto the table.
❝ Hey! ❞
Leah stretched her arms and laid her back completely on the floor, grunting, probably tired from all this.
You looked first at Stanway, who still seemed affected by the blonde's comment, wiping her mouth; your eyes moved to Keira's face, giving her a victorious smile.
Your arm used to pull your girlfriend away, slowly moving towards Walsh's long fingers and intertwining them. ❝ You was the only one who didn't know, but now everything is great. ❞ You reported it.
❝ What? Was I the last to know? Why always me?! ❞ Leah stood up so quickly that her knees hit the bottom of the table.
❝ To be honest, I was going to tell you once, but you never have patience. ❞ Keira replied. ❝ And you would probably hit me with a chair for dating [reader]. ❞ The english bantered, but there was a little truth in her speech.
❝ No, never! I just think it's funny that you started dating before me. ❞ Leah said pointing at you. ❝ Anyway, I hope you don't do anything bad. ❞ Williamson spoke in a not-so-enthusiastic tone indirectly to you know who.
Walsh was finally able to rest her face on the side of your neck, crossing one of her arms over yours for support. ❝ You've known me for years! It feels bad to say something like that to me. ❞ She murmured.
The three of them laughed, it was the typical humor of long-time friendships that you weren't used to yet.
Leah coming to terms with your relationship was a huge relief. You placed a peck on the top of Keira's head before hugging her. ❝ We should celebrate Leah not killing us
 You know. ❞ You sounded like a drunk.
❝ This is just an excuse to drink more, right? ❞ Yes, exactly. Stanway was right.
Williamson rolled her eyes before pushing the last bottle of beer onto the table. ❝ Ask your babysitter for permission. ❞
❝ Leah! ❞
❝ What? ❞ The defender said between laughs.
❝She's not my babysitter. ❞
Of course, Keira Walsh no longer needed to hide behind the playful nicknames that Leah always gives. After all, she was now your girlfriend; no more secrets.

they’ve given up their place in the team even when they’re the best in the world.
joined “las 15” because they knew that changes were needed.
stayed true to their values and words and gave up a world cup, the most important tournament of their career because they knew the changes weren’t enough.
and now once again openly talking about how the changes are not enough prior to this camp.
they’ve given up a lot and words will always fall short for all that they’ve done.
absolute respect and honour to them bothđŸ«Ą
sempre en tu equipo patri y mapi. muy muy orgullosa de ti đŸ’™â€ïž

dude do you guys ever think how crazy this situation with the Spanish Women's national team is?
they summoned 4 out of 6 of the Spanish players competing for this year's Ballon d'Or
15 of them are current world champions
Alexia Putellas is the current best female player in the world (won the Ballon d'Or 2 years in a row)
Aitana BonmatĂ­ won the trophy for best player for this years World Cup, just got the UEFA women's player of the year and is a really strong contender for the best female player in the world this year (Ballon d'Or)
Mapi Leon and Patri Guijarro both refused to play in the world cup so they could stand up for what they believed despite knowing they were giving up their biggest dream, every player dreams to represent your country proudly in a world cup and specially win it. Also regardless of that were also nominated for this years Ballon d'Or, they have also been called upon weirdly enough
Jenni Hermoso one of the players who suffered most with this shit show, was not called for with the excuse of "trying to protect her" bitch, from who? Yourselves?
Salma Paralluelo the young player that was able to shine bright for the whole world to see, nominated for this year's Ballon d'Or and Golden Girl player of the year, is not among the team
many of them also nominated for this years Fifa's best players awards
look I'm just saying
I can't imagine a world where someone would dare to force, manipulate and threaten Messi (the current best male player in the world) to play a match
Or any of the male players in that Ballon D'or list for that matter
I know they would never be allowed to do this to the Argentinian male's national team (the current male World Cup champions)
Or to the UEFA male's player of the year and also strong contender for this year's Ballon d'Or, Earling Haaland as the best player in the world
And I bet they wouldn't think twice about firing a whole damn crew and a federation president and team if needed, because they do that to most male teams when they fail and lose the World Cup, at least here in Brazil they do
I don't think the public would ever except that to happen to the bright stars of the future like, Lamine Yamal, Gavi, or even Alejandro Garnacho Bukayo Saka, Jude Bellingham and Eduardo Camavinga
See where am going with this?

Official Statement from the Players' Association
"Barcelona, August 2023. As a result of the events that occurred this morning, and on the account of the perplexity caused by RFEF president D. Luis Manuel Rubiales Béjar, the recently crowned world champions, players of the Spanish Women's National team, in support of Jennifer Hermosa, would like to manifest their firm, forthright condamnation of the actions taken against Women's dignity.
In light of the declarations uttered by the president of the RFEF, Jennifer Hermosa would like to absolutely deny her consenting to the kiss initiated by D. Luis Manuel Rubiales Béjar during the World Cup final. "I would like to clarify, as seen in the circulating images, that I never gave my consent to the kiss initiated by the president nor in any moment did I want to back the president up. I cannot accept my word being put in doubt nor have words put in my mouth for that matter."
We, as a union, would like to highlight that no woman should feel obliged to answer to anything with photographic proof being very well present and seen by the whole world, and they most of all should not be implicated in non-consensual actions.
The Spanish Women National team players, as reigning world champions, await convincing answers from the authorities in charge in order to prevent such behaviors sliding by without punishment.
We would like to end this statement by asking for real structural changes that would help the national team grow, in order to be able to relay the successes achieved to future generations. We are saddened that such an unacceptable action is tarnishing such a major achievement for Spanish Women's Football.
After everything that has occured during the World Cup's crowning ceremony, we would like to announce that all the players who have signed this statement have no intention in returning for any international call up under the current directors.
Signed by:

Spain. the side that deserved to win, the side that played like it was a final, the side that showed the most passion. However, the side that has winning players, not winning coaches. This trophy is Alexia’s, Salma’s, Ona’s, Olga’s, Jenni’s, Aitanas and etc. It is not Jorge Vilda’s win. Say the names of the players that weren’t there. Mapi, Pina, Sandra, Leila, Patri. Heartbreaking win, but a deserved one.

absolutely distraught for the girls, they deserved this. gutted for the girls back in barca.
seeing the england girls so upset genuinely makes me want to sob,The girls have done absolute wonders for women’s football.
praying that lucy’s knees allows her to go for one more world cup, she deserves the star above the crest. along with the whole team.
they will come back stronger, will be absolutely unstoppable with beth, fran and leah.
incredibly emotional, but determined to watch the girls collect those silver medals.
alex scott said it perfectly lucy is going to blame herself and i hope she gets surrounded by people to help and support her.
