i do think balfour's knee injury happens just toward the tail end of his sort of "turning a new leaf" era and it's directly linked to him being a bit of a shithead. i know he has some properly bitter relationships w/ some other players, people who he just fucking hates, and i know that when he's injured it's the direct result of an intentional foul from a player he has problems with.

ㅤSo Balfour doesn't punch him. But his knee is fucking killing him, he's been dealing with it half the afternoon and he's at his fucking limit. The last thing he needs is Tartt being a cunt for the sake of it - but here he is, and what is Balfour meant to do? He needs the kid to get out of his face.
ㅤBalfour makes to grab a handful of Tartt's shirt, then. Enough to pull him closer, and offer a warning before he might push him away:
Tumblr media
ㅤ“ Why don't you mind your own game? You wanna try 90 minutes with a fucking knee brace? ”
Tumblr media
Sure, Sutherland is fucking large, but Jamie's never backed down from men who're bigger than him. And maybe he's pushing his buttons on purpose. If anything, it's tame, in Jamie's opinion. Just something said with a little pat to the back before he intends to go off on his own elsewhere. What's Brentford's 1 going to do? Punch him? Yeah, right. "Don't know, mate," he says, spinning on his heel to face him again. "I think it's kinda fucking funny, if y'ask me."

ㅤ“ Good to know, ” he smiles, and is honestly blushing furiously. As is his way. Balfour is just relieved that the light in here is so bad she might not be able to see it - and hopefully, it will have eased somewhat by the time she joins him upstairs. He'd hate for her to see what an idiot he looks, all pink-faced just because she's said she'd like to go on a date with him. Fucking idiot he is. “ I'll just be outside. ”
ㅤWith that, he gives her one last nod before he heads off upstairs. It's fucking freezing out when he gets there, and he's stood waiting, arms crossed over his chest, trying his best not to shiver - he's a hardy boy from the proper north, thank you very much - while he waits for Georgie to join him again. When she does, he's all smiles.
ㅤ“ All good to go? ” He doesn't ask the obvious question.
Tumblr media
georgie laughs, a surprise almost to herself, and feels a little settled by that. not because she thinks she is a terrible kisser -- she's never had any complaints, at least -- but because he'd want to date her anyway. it's not just about that, for him. ❝ oh, and i s'pose you'd be the one to help me practice, would you? ❞ god, it better be. suddenly, there's nothing georgie wants to do more, other than get out of this bloody queue. she nods her head towards the door to the toilets, saying, ❝ i'll meet you upstairs in a minute, yeah? ---me too, by the way. i'd really like to go on a date with you. ❞

@misaentropy asked: a tentative , exploratory kiss between friends . + finally kissing the person you’ve been pining for .
ㅤNothing has felt particularly normal since that whole charity gala. It's like Anora turning up again has completely thrown him, rewired his brain or something equally as stupid. He finds himself thinking about her when they're apart and he has five minutes for his mind to wander - about how he wants to see her again, how glad he is that they met again by sheer chance. Sometimes he even wonders how things might have been if he'd stayed back home, instead of chasing a career down in London that he doesn't really even like that much.
ㅤBalfour is stupid. Mostly out of touch with his own feelings - or at least that's the case when he's got to admit to them. But even he knows what this is, pining after Anora like some lovesick schoolboy. It's the sort of thing even he can't ignore. Especially here and now, huddled as they are under the awning of the café, hiding from the pouring rain of the great British summer. It's been a good afternoon - or evening, now, he supposes, since they've talked half the afternoon away. They've been doing a lot of that lately. There is, after all, a lot for them to catch up on.
ㅤRight now, though, Balfour is just keenly aware of how close Anora is standing to him. She's turned to look at him, mid-conversation as they are, and he feels dizzy almost, which is absurd but still the honest truth of it. He's not good at this. He's never good at this when it actually matters. Everything he does feels awkward, unnatural to him, as if he's making a terrible mistake but doesn't know a better way to go about it.
Tumblr media
ㅤAnora's eyes linger on his own for a moment, and then his eyes fall to her lips. They are so very close. The back of his hand brushes her arm. He leans in slightly, following some gut instinct, and Anora doesn't pull back, doesn't move away. It's almost easy, then, to kiss her. Some soft and small and lingering little thing, tentatively testing out what has been playing on his mind for... a good while now. The dizziness doesn't subside. Why would it?
Tumblr media
ㅤ“ Sorry, ” is, of course, the first thing he says when he pulls back. Only just. His face is bright pink, as it could only ever be, but he's lucky that it suits him. Even as he speaks now, he's still close. His hand remains at her waist. “ I just, uh... ” There is no end to that sentence.

ㅤ“ Uhhhh, then I take it back, ” he teases. His smile betrays it, of course - or, at least, Balfour hopes that it does, because he knows that he has something of a reputation. But he's not the guy he used to be anymore, even if his former behaviour still hangs over his head like a raincloud. Hopefully Georgie knows he isn't like that anymore either. He's really, really trying to turn over a new leaf. “ Or not. I would like to go on a date with you. Even if you are a bad kisser. I mean - ” and he's grinning a bit, here “ - you'll just have to get some more practice, won't you? ”
Tumblr media
❝ like a date? ❞ there's something cautious in georgie's voice, cautious and hopeful. because she likes balfour, really likes him, and she'd really like to date him. he's already the person she spends the most time with, outside of family and work, already the one she wants to talk to, both when things are shit and when things are not. but she's not exactly know for her best taste in guys, and while she's certain balfour's not like elvis, her heart is already a fragile thing. it can't take another break.
she lets the warmth of hope win, letting her smile spread into something more teasing as she looks up at him. ❝ what if i'm a really shit kisser? ❞

@tartt9 asked: step up your game.
ㅤBalfour would have broken Tartt's smug fucking face for that a year ago. His fist balls, like the thought of throwing a punch has crossed his mind all the same, even though he's meant to be doing better now. Balfour doesn't even shove him, which is nothing short of a miracle. Tartt should count himself lucky - though, he's such a fucking idiot, he probably doesn't even think about it.
Tumblr media
ㅤ“ Don't you have anything fucking better to do than talk shite? ”

@misaentropy asked: did you really see a future with this girl?
ㅤIt's a hell of a question. Balfour's eyes turn heavenward briefly, like he might be begging god for some kind of intervention, any excuse not to bare his soul. Or maybe he just needs a second to sort his thoughts out in his head, to get things in order. This is Anora, after all. It's easy, almost, all this talking stuff. It doesn't make him want to run away, like he does with most people.
Tumblr media
ㅤ“ I... I guess. ” It's the first time he's admitted it. To anyone. Even Cate never got this admission from him, and he supposes that's why it didn't work out. Even when he'd still been half in love with her, he'd never been able to tell her, and what good was that? Balfour looks down at his plate for a few moments, at the remnants of his food, and sighs, shrugs his shoulder before he looks back up at Anora. “ I was twenty-two, y'know? ” And he's always been a romantic, always thought that he'd find the one someday. Never mind that he and Cate had hardly been good for each other. “ It was wishful thinking, if I'm being honest. We didn't have much in common outside of drinking. ”
ㅤHe shrugs again. What else is there to say? He was young and stupid, and now he's older and wiser. There's no future with Cate anymore - but Calum? That's a different story.
ㅤ“ But we're friends now. You know? Sort of. It's joint custody with Calum and everything, so we sort of have to see each other. It works out. ” There's a brief pause, then he clears his throat, reaches for his drink to take a quick mouthful. That usual blush - the one that crops up whenever he's feeling too much - is spreading steadily across his face. “ What, er - What about you? Weren't you seeing that, er, what's his face. When I left. ”

PROMPTS FROM SCOTT PILGRIM vs. THE WORLD *  assorted dialogue from the 2010 film, adjust as necessary
when i'm around you, i kind of feel like i'm on drugs. not that i do drugs. unless you do drugs, in which case i do them all the time. all of them.
does that mean we can make out?
i skimmed it.
is there anywhere you don't work?
we are here to sell out and make money and stuff.
hey, so can this not be a one night stand?
there's more than one kind?
you've got mail.
i know i can be hard to be around sometimes. i totally understand if you don't want to hang anymore.
you will pay for your insolence.
break out the l-word.
that was a joke.
what the hell...
it's amazing what we can do with computers these days.
we have an unfinished business.
what did you have in mind?
i think garlic bread would have to be my favorite all-time food.
what do you play?
it's not a race, guys!
go ahead. i'm too cool for you anyway.
i'm so happy for you.
that's kind of a big question.
this is good garlic bread.
guess who's drunk!
you'll pay for your crimes against humanity!
you have a band?
i love this song!
what's the website for that?
we're terrible. please come.
don't you talk to me about grammar!
i know you have reasons for not wanting to talk about your past.
did you make some of those up?
i could eat it for every meal.
this is impossible! how can this be?
this is only my first offense. don't i get three strikes?
did you really see a future with this girl?
step up your game.
how are you doing that with your mouth?
it's milk and eggs, bitch.
bread makes you fat?
wait, can i get your number?
they have not started playing yet.
i want you to know that i don't care about any of that stuff.
we are here to make you think about death and get sad and stuff.
what kind of tea do you want?
you are incorrigible.
you used to be so nice.
what's that? you're outside?
oh, well, that's not that bad.
you know what really sucks? everything.
didn't you get my email explaning the situation?
i know you play mysterious and aloof just to avoid getting hurt.
i have to go pee due to boredom.
call us when you're done.
i've never even kissed a guy before.
he just left.
that was a test, and you passed.
i don't know the meaning of the word.
if you want something bad, you have to fight for it.
if i peed my pants, would you pretend that i just got wet from the rain?
do you have any embarrassing stories?
you made me swallow my gum! that's going to be in my digestive tract for seven years!
everything does suck.
why can't we have our own secret shows?
sounds like someone wants to get funky.
so what you're saying is we're dating?
