the apartment felt quieter than usual. the soft hum of the city outside and the distant buzz of your phone were the only sounds that kept you grounded as you stared out of the window. it had been a long day, and all you wanted was some peace. but that wasn’t going to happen anytime soon.
kieran’s voice broke through the silence, though it was quieter than usual, almost uncertain. ‘i think i’m really going to go for it. celtic. end of the season.’
the words hung in the air, thick with unspoken tension.
you didn’t turn to face him immediately, afraid that if you did, you’d betray the way your stomach had twisted in response. you felt the air grow heavy with the weight of his decision. he hadn’t exactly asked you what you thought, but you didn’t need him to. you both knew what this meant.
celtic was his home. he’d always spoken of them fondly, of the pride in representing the club that had raised him, that had seen him grow into the man he was today. and now, after everything, after all the time apart, after the struggles, the ups and downs, it was finally happening.
the move.
your heart ached at the thought.
you swallowed hard, trying to steady your voice. ‘it’s... it’s a good opportunity, kieran. for you.’
it sounded almost dismissive, even to your own ears, but you couldn’t make yourself say anything else. because the truth was, a part of you was afraid. afraid that this was the moment that everything would change. that maybe you weren’t ready to let go of what you had here. or that, perhaps, you weren’t ready to follow him into this new chapter of his life.
kieran didn’t respond right away, and you finally turned to face him. he was sitting at the kitchen counter, his eyes fixed on his phone. his shoulders were tense, but his face, his face was the same as always. the face that had smiled at you in countless photos, that had comforted you when things felt rough, that had been the one constant in your life for so long.
but now, it was a mask. a mask you weren’t sure you could break through.
‘you don’t seem happy,’ he said softly, his eyes lifting to meet yours.
you took a shaky breath, the lump in your throat growing with every second. ‘of course i’m happy for you. it’s celtic. it’s everything you’ve worked for. but... but what about us?’
the words spilled out of you before you could stop them. you didn’t want to be selfish, but you couldn’t help it. his dream was becoming a reality, and you... you didn’t know where you fit into that anymore.
‘what about us, kieran?’ you repeated, your voice trembling. ‘are we at a place where... where i should follow you? can we keep doing this long-distance thing? or is this the end?’
the question hung between you, thick with all the unsaid words that had built up over the past few months. you’d both been busy, so busy, between his commitments, your own, that the time together had become sparse. and with this looming decision, with the inevitability of his move to celtic, you couldn’t ignore it anymore.
kieran was silent, his gaze falling away from yours. ‘i didn’t want to put that pressure on you,’ he said quietly. ‘i don’t want to make you feel like you have to come with me.’
‘but i’m not sure i’m ready to leave everything behind,’ you confessed, your voice cracking. ‘i’ve built my life here, kieran. my job. my friends. i can’t just pick everything up and go.’
his eyes softened, and he stood up from the counter, walking over to you slowly, carefully. when he reached you, he cupped your face in his hands, his thumbs brushing away the few stray tears that had fallen.
‘i didn’t mean to make you feel that way,’ he murmured. ‘i’m not asking you to leave everything behind for me. but you’re part of my future. that’s not something i can just... walk away from.’
you blinked up at him, trying to process the gravity of his words. you wanted to believe him. you wanted to believe that you could make it work, that love could conquer distance, could conquer time.
but it wasn’t that easy. not when you were being pulled in different directions, your own future uncertain.
‘and what if this doesn’t work out, kieran?’ you asked, your voice barely above a whisper. ‘what if you go to celtic, and things change? what if we change?’
he closed his eyes for a moment, as if the weight of your question was too much to bear. then, with a slow breath, he replied, ‘i don’t have the answers. i don’t know what the future holds. all i know is that i want you in it. i want us in it. but i can’t ask you to follow me if you’re not ready.’
the silence that followed was deafening. you wanted to reach out to him, to hold him, to reassure him that you didn’t want to lose him. but you also needed to be sure of yourself. you needed to know that you were making the right choice, for both of you.
‘kieran...’ you started, but the words caught in your throat.
he kissed your forehead gently, and you melted into him, allowing yourself the brief comfort of his touch. ‘whatever you decide, i’m not going anywhere,’ he whispered. ‘but i’m here for the long haul, and i need you to know that.’
you closed your eyes, allowing yourself to feel the warmth of his words, even if they didn’t fully ease the uncertainty in your heart. for a moment, you allowed yourself to lean into him, to breathe in the scent of him, to just be with him. you weren’t ready to make a decision, but you didn’t want to let go of what you had, either.
the future was uncertain, but in this moment, you had each other. and maybe that was enough to keep you going.
for now.

it’s been a hot minute since i read a joao fic i miss him wtf
summary: João always plays Call of Duty but his girlfriend is determined to distract him so she can ask him something
warnings: slightly suggestive
author's note: english is not my first language, divider from @sisterlucifergraphics
João's favourite videogame is Call of Duty, damn we are meant to be together
It was one of those peaceful days off, both me and joao were home with no commitments for the day, our plans were to just chill and relax. Yeah relax. If it wasn't for Joao's loud voice from the living room, he was playing Call of Duty and he was shouting various insults in portuguese. I went to the living room and i saw him laying on the couch with the controller in his hand and a concentrated look. Damn he didn't even see im standing right here, i had to do something.
I went up to our bedroom and changend into a pair of shorts and a white tanktop, then i went downstaris to the living room again. I walked straight to the couch and then i sat on Joao's lap.
He immediately paused playing, got up and wrapped his arms around my waist
"amor, what are you doing?" he asked giggling and putting his face in the croock of my neck
"nothing... i just wanna watch you play" i said with a small smirk
"fine" he sighed and laid again
He continued playing and i paid attention to what was happening on the screen, then i decided to distract him a bit: i started moving my hips just a little to create a bit of friction.
I saw him twitching his leg, my plan was already achieving the desired results.
After a while i moved again my hips, like i had to adjust myself on his lap. This time i heard him grunt a little but he continued playing. I had to get tough to distract him, so i started to gather my hair for a ponytail so my hips could move even more against his lap. This time actually worked, he immediately got up and stopped my movements with his hand on my waist
"are you trying to get me hard in the middle of the game?" he asked with a serious tone ù
"oh no, i just wanted to distract you a bit" i replied with an innocent smile
he lowered his face to level my neck and started kissing it "don't lie to me amor" he said with his tone low "tell me what you want"
i sighed and reluctantly pulled away a bit "i just want you to teach me how to play" i said flushing a bit, god why it was so embarassing?
Joao was taken back a bit "you acted like that just to ask me this?" he aksed
"yeah but... nevermind" i said as i tried to get up but his strong hold kept he sat
"no no amor, now you will stay here and i will teach you everything about ths ok?" he said in a sweet tone "don't be embarassed to ask me things like this again ok?"
Thus began the most boring 15 minutes of my entire life, don't get me wrong i like the game, but he was literally explaining me everything. When the explanation was over he told me to try and play. When the round was over he looked at the screen and stared at it in disbelief "amor, your score is just a few points below my usual and it's just your first round!"
I giggled, proud of myself "that's because is have a good teacher" and gave him a well deserved kiss
hector fort with a sassy/bossy girlfriend who is actually a sweetheart🥹 like yes she will make something out of nothing- but she also give the softest praise when she wants to?
summary:: you’re hector’s sassy girlfriend (with kindness 😛)
warnings:: it’s like not a proper fic yk? it’s just a ton of scenarios but too long for headcannons idek atp
writers note:: IM SO INCONSISTENT W POSTING I NEED TO START POSTING THESE AS SSON AS IM DONE WRITING OMDS THIS HAS BEEN IN MY DRAFTS FOR HOURS.
tags:: @barcapix @n0vazsq @httpsdana @paucubarsisimp ; lmk if u wanna be added or removed
hector fort never really knew what hit him when he started dating you. you walked into his life like a storm, sharp tongue, quick comebacks, and a look that could cut through steel, but underneath that bossy, sassy exterior, you were the biggest softie he’d ever met.
he learned that early on. like the first time you two went out and he showed up three minutes late. three.
‘oh, so you thought i didn’t deserve punctuality?’ you’d said, arms crossed, hip cocked to the side. ‘is that what we’re doing now, fort?’
he scrambled with apologies, cheeks red, swearing traffic was worse than usual. you just sighed, looped your arm through his, and murmured, ‘relax, i’m messing with you. but you are paying for dessert. non-negotiable.’
he never minded paying, especially when you’d grin at him over your ice cream, that spark in your eyes softening just a bit. and god, when you’d say things like, ‘you’re lucky you’re cute,’ it did things to him he didn’t know how to explain.
but it wasn’t just the teasing. it was how you supported him, how you believed in him even when he didn’t believe in himself. after that match he’d been kicking himself over for days, missed shots, sloppy passes, you cornered him in his apartment, hands on your hips.
‘hector fort, if you don’t stop beating yourself up, i swear—’ you cut yourself off, softened. stepped closer and cupped his face, fingers warm against his skin. ‘baby, you played so well. everyone has off days. i’m proud of you.’
he melted. every damn time.
sometimes, you’d get worked up over the smallest things, like when your coffee order was wrong. ‘how hard is it to do two pumps of vanilla, not three? i’m not asking for rocket science.’ you’d huff, glance at him, and when you caught him grinning, you’d roll your eyes. ‘...whatever. wanna sip?’
he loved that you’d fight anyone and anything, but when it came to him? you handled him with care. your bossiness wasn’t mean, it was protective. you demanded respect for yourself, for him, for the people you cared about. you were fire and warmth all at once.
and hector? he’d never been happier to stand in the middle of that fire.
it was in the little things, too. the texts before his matches, ‘score a goal for me, baby. or don’t. you’re still my favorite.’ the way you’d pull him aside after a rough day and say, ‘c’mere, let me fix your hair. you look like you fought a tornado,’ fingers gentle as you smoothed back his curls.
but nothing compared to the quiet moments. like when you thought he was asleep, and you’d whisper, ‘love you, y’know? so much it’s stupid.’ like he didn’t hear you. like he didn’t tuck those words away, holding them close on the nights he missed you the most.
hector fort knew you were a lot. sassy, bossy, dramatic. but god, he wouldn’t trade it for anything. because beneath all that, you were his soft place to land. his person.
and if you wanted to make something out of nothing, throw a fit over a late pizza delivery or a movie starting five minutes past the showtime? fine. he’d let you. hell, he’d stand right beside you and complain too.
as long as, at the end of the day, he still got to be the one you smiled at like that. the one you whispered those soft, precious things to when you thought no one was listening.
because you, with all your fire and sass and sweetness, you were everything.
pls I’m begging for a Joao felix one with the prompts 5 and 6 from comfort and 9 from fluff and he’s like in the hospital for something and since he had lots of medication, he was very emotional 💗 sry for the specific request
・❥・prompt list
・❥・masterlist -> part 2
・❥・who I write for
5-“It’s okay to cry, I’ll be right here.”
6-“I wish I could take away all your pain.”
9-“Promise me you’ll be here when I wake up?”
The hospital room was quiet except for the rhythmic beeping of the machines and João’s uneven breathing.
His head rested against the pillows, his hazel eyes glassy and distant as the medication worked through his system.
The doctor had warned her he might be groggy, disoriented, and unusually emotional—and now, he was all three.
“You’re too good for me,” João mumbled, his voice thick and slurred. His hand fumbled across the blanket until it found hers, gripping it tightly.
“You do everything for me, and I just—” His lips trembled as his voice cracked. “I just sit here, making your life harder.”
Her heart twisted at his words. “João, that’s not true,” she said softly, leaning forward to stroke his damp hair. “My love, you’ve never made my life harder. Ever.”
“It is,” he insisted, his hazel eyes filling with tears.
“Why do you even love me? I don’t deserve you. You… you’re perfect. You’re my sunshine. Even when everything’s dark, you’re always shining.”
His lips quivered, and a tear slipped down his cheek. He sniffled, lifting his hand weakly to his face, confusion flickering across his features. “Why am I crying?” he asked, his voice breaking as more tears fell.
She leaned closer, cupping his cheek and brushing away the tears with her thumb. “It’s okay to cry, baby,” she whispered gently, her voice soft and reassuring. “I’ll be right here.”
João let out a shaky breath, his hand clumsily reaching to hold hers against his face.
“You always know what to say,” he murmured, his voice heavy with emotion. “I love you so much, meu amor. I don’t tell you enough, but I do. I really, really do.” (my love)
Tears pricked her own eyes, but she blinked them away, focusing on him. “And I love you, João,” you said softly. “You don’t have to prove anything to me. Just rest, okay?”
He nodded weakly, but his expression suddenly contorted in pain, and he groaned, his hand moving to his ribs. “It hurts,” he admitted, his voice barely above a whisper.
She felt a pang of helplessness. “Oh, meu querido,” she said, her voice breaking. “I wish I could take away all your pain. I’d do anything to make it better.” (my dear)
He opened his eyes and gave her a faint smile, despite the pain etched on his face. “You being here… that’s enough,” he murmured.
She leaned down to press a kiss to his forehead, her lips lingering for a moment. “I’m not going anywhere,” she promised, taking his hand again.
“Promise me you’ll be here when I wake up?” he asked, his voice soft and pleading.
“I promise,” she said firmly, stroking his hair gently. “Now try to sleep. I’ll be right here when you wake up.”
His breathing began to even out as the medication pulled him under, though his grip on your hand remained firm. You stayed by his side, watching him until your own exhaustion took over, and you fell asleep with your head resting on the edge of the bed.
The first thing she felt was warmth—soft lips pressing against her temple, then her cheek. The faint scent of João’s cologne filled the air as she stirred awake.
“Morning, meu amor,” came his low, familiar voice, still rough from sleep but steadier than the night before.
She opened her eyes to find João leaning over her, his face inches from hers, a small smile tugging at his lips. His hazel eyes were clearer now, the pain from the night before replaced with a quiet warmth.
“João,” she breathed, sitting up quickly. “You’re awake. How are you feeling?”
“Better,” he said, his voice soft. “A lot better.”
He reached out to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear, his thumb brushing her cheek. “You stayed,” he said quietly, as if in awe.
“Of course I did,” she said, her voice gentle but firm. “I promised, didn’t I?”
He leaned in, pressing a tender kiss to her lips. It was slow and full of unspoken gratitude, leaving her breathless when he pulled back.
“You’re incredible,” he murmured, resting his forehead against hers.
“So are you, meu querido,” shr replied softly, a smile tugging at her lips.
João chuckled, his hand sliding to her waist to pull her closer. “I’m serious. I don’t know what I’d do without you, amor.”
“You’ll never have to find out,” she teased, her voice light but full of love.
He kissed her again, deeper this time, his lips lingering against hers as his hands traced slow, comforting patterns on her back. “I love you,” he whispered between kisses. “More than anything.”
“And I love you,” she whispered back, her heart swelling.

Jude Bellingham Reads Thirst Tweets About Himself
Jude Bellingham x Reader
The camera is set up, and Jude Bellingham sits comfortably on the couch, holding your phone. He looks at you, already suspicious.
“You really got me reading thirst tweets?” he asks, raising an eyebrow.
You nod excitedly. “Yup! And no backing out.”
Jude sighs but smirks. “Alright, let’s get this over with.” He scrolls and immediately widens his eyes. “Nah, this one’s crazy.”
He clears his throat dramatically before reading, “‘Jude Bellingham could ruin my life, and I’d thank him.’”
His jaw drops. “RUIN your life?! What does that even mean?!” He looks at you for an explanation.
You just shrug. “They’re dedicated.”
Jude shakes his head and keeps scrolling. “Okay, next one.” He reads, “‘Jude Bellingham’s hands look big enough to carry me, and honestly, I’d let him.’”
He pauses, flexing his hands. “I mean… I do have big hands, but what do you mean, ‘carry you’? Where are we going?” He laughs, but his ears are turning red.
You burst out laughing. “Jude, you’re blushing.”
“I am NOT.” He clears his throat again and continues. “‘Jude Bellingham could look at me once, and I’d pass out on the spot.’” He leans closer to the camera. “Alright, let’s test that theory. If you’re watching this, don’t pass out.”
You roll your eyes. “Jude, stop flirting with the internet.”
He smirks. “Not my fault they started it.”
Scrolling again, he suddenly chokes on his own breath. “Oh, NO. I’m not reading that.”
You snatch the phone. “Oh, come on. What does it say?”
Jude groans, covering his face. “It says, ‘Jude Bellingham could call me a bad girl, and I’d forget my own name.’”
Your mouth drops open. “Oh my God.”
Jude stares at the camera in disbelief. “You lot need Jesus.”
You’re crying laughing. “Read one more!”
Jude sighs but scrolls. His eyes widen. “Oh, hell no.” He reads it anyway. “‘Jude Bellingham, if you see this, I will bark for you.’”
He drops the phone. “Nah. I’m done. You’re all unhinged.”
You’re wheezing at this point. “Regret doing this?”
Jude shakes his head, laughing. “One hundred percent.”
[TikTok ends – comments are wild]
Top Comment: “THE WAY HE SAID ‘YOU LOT NEED JESUS’ I’M SCREAMING 😭”

writers note: ok issy, you’ve been cooking i guess?? also the twist is lowkey confusing so that’s being scrapped, you’ll be surprised tho!! i’m making this in multiple parts as well bc this is lowkey complex… also ignore how rushed this is at the end!
word count: 1.3k
The studio was quiet except from the light hum of lights and the soft rustle of fabric as she adjusted the new kits on the rack. She dusted her hands on her jeans, feeling the normal nerves she always got before a shoot. Today, it wasn’t just any shoot, it was one for Barca - and this sessions focus was on Alejandro Balde. His name alone sent her heart racing.
Alejandro stepped in after a few minutes, approaching her. ‘Hi,’ he said, ‘You must be the photographer for today, i’m Alejandro.’
She nodded quickly, fidgeting with her camera strap. ‘Yeah, I am. Nice to meet you.’
‘Nice to meet you too’ he replied. He sat his bag against the wall, glancing around the studio to try and get a feel of the space. ‘Looks great, where should I start?’
She hesitated, her fingers tightening on her grip on the camera. ‘Uhhh, over by the backdrop,’ she said softly, pointing. ‘We’ll start with some simple shots if that’s okay?’
‘Sounds good.’ he said with a small nod, moving to the spot she pointed at. His movements were laidback as she felt herself relaxing a bit. He stood patiently, waiting for her instructions, his hands laid loosely around his sides.
She lifted the camera, her voice barely a whisper. ‘Can you um, turn slightly to the left? And maybe look down a bit?’
Alejandro followed her directions without a question, his gaze focused. ‘Like this?’ he asked, looking up for a second to check.
She gave a quick nod. ‘Perfect.’ she murmured, snapping a few shots. The soft click of the shutter filled the silence.
‘You’re really good at this,’ he said after a moment, his tone genuine. ‘I guess it feels… easy.’
Her cheeks warmed, as she quickly ducked behind the camera. ‘Thank you.’ she mumbled, adjusting the lens to give herself a second. ‘You’re easy to work with.’
He chuckled softly, ‘I’m glad, I always feel a bit awkward in front of the camera.’
Her brows lifted in surprise, and before she could think, she said ‘And that’s why i’m always behind the camera.’
He smiled, ‘You’re making it easier, you’re calm even if you’re quiet.’
She felt her face heat up even more. ‘I’m just… focused,’ she said quickly, adjusting the camera again. ‘Let’s try a few more like this.’
‘Whatever you think works,’ he said, his voice steady but soft, as if he didn’t want to disturb her concentration.
As the shoot continued, she found herself stealing glances between shots, noticing the way alejandro seemed to settle into the moment, his quiet confidence settling her nerves. And with each quiet exchange, each smile shared, she felt herself falling.
By the time the session was halfway through, the nervous edge in the room had fully become something quieter and softer. She felt her heart skip whenever Alejandro caught her eye but she was starting to fine her rhythm again - giving quiet instructions.
‘You’re good at this’ Alejandro said again, during a brief pause. His voice gentle, as he watched her adjust her camera settings. ‘You barely say anything but you know what you want.’
She fumbled with the dial, the compliment catching her off guard, ‘Oh, uh I guess I just let the photos speak for itself’ she murmured.
Alejandro smiled faintly, ‘They will, I can tell.’ He glanced at the rack of kits nearby. ‘Do you want me to change into the next one?’
She nodded quickly. ‘Yes please, it’s the third kit, the green one.’
He crossed over to the rack, his moves unhurried. ‘So you’ve worked with a lot of players before?’ he asked as he grabbed the shirt.
‘A few,’ she replied, her voice soft. ‘Mostly smaller shoots. This is a bigger one for me.’
‘Well, it doesn’t feel like it.’ Alejandro said, pulling the new shirt over his head. ‘Feels like you’ve been doing this forever.’
She ducked her head, a small, shy smile tugging at her lips, ‘Thanks.’
When he returned to the backdrop, the bright kit fitting him perfectly, she couldn’t help but notice how the neon green complimented his features.
‘Ready when you are.’ Alejandro said softly.
She nodded, her hands steadying as she framed the shot. ‘Turn to your right.’ she murmured. ‘A little more… perfect.’
The shutter clicked for a second, the world seemed to shrink to just the two of them. The room seemed smaller, the air heavier, not in a bad way. In a way that made her feel like nothing else existed but the way he looked at her.
‘Are you always this focused when you shoot?’ Alejandro asked, his voice low.
She hesitated, her finger hovering over the shutter. ‘I mean, I guess so.’ she said softly. ‘It’s easier to stay in my head.’
He tilted his head, his expression thoughtful. ‘And what about outside your head?’
She blinked, lowering the camera, ‘What do you mean by that?’
‘I mean,’ he said gently, ‘sometimes it’s good to come out, to be in the moment.’
Her heart fluttered, and for a second she didn’t know how to respond. Instead, she nodded quickly and bought the camera back up. ‘Let’s uhm try one more shot’
‘Alright.’
Eventually, the shoot ended, and he left. The studio felt quieter without him as she packed up her gear. She was all set to go home until her phone buzzed. It was a dm from instagram.
‘hey, it’s ale, thanks for today, you were amazing’
She stared at the screen, unsure on how to respond and ended up replying with,
‘ofcourse!! you were amazing to work with’
She hit send and immediately felt her stomach twist with nerves. But before she could think; the dots indicating that he was typing appeared.
‘it was nice working with you, maybe we could get coffee sometime if you’re not busy?’
Her breath was caught. Coffee? With him? She bit her lip before replying with,
‘yeah, i’d like that’
His response was almost immediate:
‘great, how about tomorrow?’
Tomorrow?? Her head spun at the thought of the small time frame.
‘tomorrow works!!’
Her response short, to try and match his nonchalance.
‘perfect, i’ll text you the place and time, goodnight.’
She hearted the message and set her phone down, her heart racing.
They both met up in a downtown cafe near the training grounds and conjured up some small talk.
‘So,’ he said after a while, his eyes twinkling with curiosity, ‘How did you get into photography?’
She hesitated, surprised by the question. Most people didn’t ask. ‘Uhm, I guess I’ve always liked capturing moments,’ she said softly, her fingers tracing the edge of her mug. ‘It feels… safer, somehow. Being behind the camera instead of in front of it.’
Alejandro nodded, his expression thoughtful. ‘I get that,’ he said. ‘It’s kind of like football for me. When I’m on the pitch, everything else just… fades away.’
She glanced up at him, her shyness giving way to curiosity. ‘How did you get into football?’ she asked.
He smiled, leaning back in his chair. ‘My dad used to take me to matches when I was a kid. I’d sit in the stands, dreaming of playing on a big field someday. Eventually, I started kicking a ball around, and… well, here I am.’
The conversation flowed more easily after that, each question and answer pulling them closer together. By the time they finished their coffee, she felt like she’d known Alejandro for far longer than just a few hours.
When they finally stepped outside, the afternoon sun was beginning to dip, casting a soft golden glow over the city. Alejandro turned to her, his hands tucked into his jacket pockets.
‘Thanks for coming,’ he said, his voice warm. ‘I’m glad we did this.’
‘Me too,’ She said, her heart bursting with a quiet, unexpected happiness.
‘Maybe we could do it again sometime?’ he asked, his tone hopeful.
She hesitated for only a second before nodding. ‘I’d like that.’
Alejandro smiled, his eyes crinkling at the corners. ‘Good.’
That date lead to a ton after, making them official, but do they want to announce it to the public..?
kali uchis’ “your teeth in my neck” is my new obsession. the song isn’t lyrically phenomenal but the way she can make a song about wealth inequality so sultry is amazing 😭 her voice is so smooth and raspy and the way she pronounces her vowels is so satisfying 😻
