Title: Makes No Difference
Pairing: Aaron Ramsey/ Jack Wilshere
Rating: PG
“You have an odd complexion.”
“What?”
“Look.” Jack reaches up and draws a line down the center of Aaron’s face using his index finger. “The right side of your face is perfect, but the left side…” His voice trails off and he smirks.
“Oh, and your complexion’s perfect?”
“So touchy.”
Aaron turns back to mirror. “My complexion is fine,” he mumbles, placing his hand self-consciously on the left side of his face.
“It’s not a big deal.” Jack replaces Aaron’s hand with his own. “I like you all spotty anyway.”
Aaron jaw drops. “I’m not spotty!” he snaps back, indignantly.
Title: Toy
Pairing: Cesc/ Robin
Rating: PG
“Cesc, you’re spoiling him. Shaqueel likes you even without the toys.”
Cesc rolls his eyes. “I know that. I like getting him stuff. You know he’d love this.”
“It’s a stuffed animal, he has plenty of those.”
“It’s a dog in an Arsenal kit. Why are we even arguing over this? If it was my kid, I’d let you buy it for him.”
Robin smirks.
“What?”
“I’m dreading the day you have a child.”
Cesc glares at him and throws the dog at him. “I would be a great dad.”
“I know. It’s just…Shaqueel is going to be so jealous.”
Title: Family
Pairing: Cesc/ Robin
Rating: PG
“Your hair is getting gray,” Cesc muses, as he gently tries to pry his finger out of Shaqueel’s hand because okay, he’s not going to admit it, but Shaqueel has a really strong grip and it kind of hurt.
“Stress,” Robin answers, making no attempt to help Cesc.
Cesc looks at him, surprised. “You know, if you ever need help with Shaqueel, I can babysit.”
Robin snorts. It’s not that he doesn’t trust Cesc― no, Cesc is actually really good with kids, and Robin suspects that Shaqueel might like him more than his actual uncles and that just can’t be right. No, it was that Cesc was a terrible influence on his son. The last time they had asked Cesc to babysit, Shaqueel had picked up some Spanish words and when Cesc refused to tell him what they meant (“I didn’t teach him that, I was on the phone and he just started repeating it!”) Robin assumed that it was something unsavoury.
“My son is not why I’m stressed,” Robin says, fondly resting his hand on the boy’s head. “He would be why my entire head isn’t gray.”
“So why― owww!” Cesc pulls his hand away and glares at Shaqueel, who just smiles at him, brightly. “You’re lucky I adore you,” he tells him, and then turns back to Robin. “Why are you stressed then?”
“Why am I stressed?” Robin raises an eyebrow. “Have you been keeping track of our season? And stop threatening my son.”
Cesc pulls Shaqueel onto his lap and rests his head on top of the two-year old’s. “He knows I don’t mean it. Don’t you, S?”
Robin makes a face at “S”. He’s not sure why but he doesn’t like the sound of that, especially if that was the moniker for his son. “S?”
Cesc brightens. “He likes it.”
“I was watching it the other day when I was babysitting him, and he said it! I think he likes it.”
Robin stares at him. “You watched Gossip Girl with my son?” He looks absolutely scandalized. “I told you he could only watch cartoons.”
Cesc waved his hand at him dismissively. “He wasn’t watching it, he was playing. I was watching. He just…looked up whenever he heard ‘S’.” He sighs, resting his chin on top of Shaqueel’s head again. “No wonder you’re never stressed when you come home. He smells like family.
