the greatest victory (tennis player!arle fluff)

contains: no plot, live marriage proposal, fluff, implied smut

“game, set, match. arlecchino wins three sets,” the umpire announces. after a thrilling finals match between my girlfriend and yelan, arlecchino wins her tenth grand slam title by a landslide. the two women meet in the middle of the court, shaking hands as a sign of sportsmanship.

once arlecchino is presented with the teyvat grand slam trophy, she begins her victory speech.

“ten grand slam titles, a milestone i never thought i’d be able to achieve in my professional career,” she starts. “but somehow, i did it. i first want to thank my coach, the tsaritsa. being coached by you is a humbling experience and i don’t think i would’ve accomplished any of these things without your guidance. another thanks goes out to my fans. i wouldn’t have made it this far without all of your support...”

“…and my final thanks goes out to my amazing girlfriend, who has supported me since the beginning. they are my motivation to always give it my all in every match, no matter the outcome. they are the reason i continue to play tennis. so before we conclude the evening i would like to call my girlfriend up on the court, as i have a special message for them.”

the camera points at my direction and the audience starts clapping. i couldn’t help the blush that forms on my face, not knowing what arlecchino has in store for me tonight.

i make my way to the tennis court, and arlecchino pulls me in for a quick peck on the lips. she then takes both of my hands in hers, maintaining eye contact as if it were just us.

“when i first met you, i was a new face in the world of professional tennis,” she says. “i’ve won and lost many games throughout my career, but you have always rooted for me since the beginning. when i won my first professional match, hearing you cheer louder than the rest of the audience made me realize i wanted to get to know you better.”

“i gave you a tennis ball with my autograph and number on it, not knowing that moment would lead to being in a happy and loving relationship with the most beautiful soul ive ever met. tonight we celebrate my tenth grand slam win. but for me, the greatest victory i can think of is spending the rest of my life with you…” arlecchino then takes a knee, pulling out a tiny red box from her pocket.

i couldn’t stop the tears of happiness running down my face, as i realized what was happening. arlecchino opens the red box, presenting a silver engagement ring with my birthstone on it.

“every time i think about the future, i always think about you by my side. my love, will you help me make this future a reality and accept my hand in marriage?” she finally pops the question.

with tears in my eyes, i nod my head and exclaimed, “yes! yes! a thousand times yes!” arlecchino puts the ring on my finger, before she lifts me up in the air and kisses me in front of the cheering audience.

“i love you so much, darling,” she whispers as she pulls away from the kiss. “i can’t wait to start a new chapter with you…”

once my happy tears subsided, i respond, “i love you too, babe. there’s nobody else i’d rather be with…”

the flashing lights of the cameras and the loud cheers of the audience start to get overwhelming for me, and arlecchino takes note of it.

“let’s go somewhere more private, shall we,” she suggests. “then you can do as you please with me once we’re alone…”

i couldn’t help but feel flustered, knowing the implications of arlecchino’s comment. nonetheless, i followed her out of the tennis court, away from prying eyes to celebrate our engagement.
