Juan Mata, helping a teammate after they're outed anonymous March 31 2013, 13:46:28 UTC
I'd like something where a Chelsea player, maybe one of the younger ones (Hazard, Oscar, Azpi), is outed, maybe by a magazine, or online, or a kiss and tell. And Juan, although he is straight himself, helps his teammate get through the tough time. The outed teammate has to deal with homophobic chants from fans (maybe even from Chelsea fans), homophobic comments from opposition players and generally his life just becomes shittier.

It's pretty obvious that homophobia is still rife in football, and seeing as Juan Mata is such a sweetie, I feel like he'd want to help someone who was getting hurt like this.

oh my GOD i want to fill this so badly. more fic about mata, always good. honest fic about football and homophobia, always good. EPL fic, always good.

the problem is, i can't see a player ever being outed. these days, with injunctions and super injunctions and the PR machine and lawsuits, man idk if i could see any press actually doing that. i mean i get that fic requires some suspension of disbelief, but I'd rather find a way of writing this where I could buy into it, heh.

OP here, I totally get what you mean with the super injunctions and whatnot, but I think if well-written I could see past that.

There was a very well-written one about Alvaro Morata in the last prompt post and how he dealt with it at Real Madrid.

Here it is: http://footballkink2.livejournal.com/9132.html?thread=3127724

I was thinking something in that vein.

Not op but,
(just throwing ideas for possible scenario) maybe a homophobic crazy fangirl kind of stalk the player, and when she saw the player is gay, she snap a pic of him and bf kissing or something, taken candidly, and angrily and hatefully post it on the net. The pic (many and really clear who's in it) went viral.

Maybe the girl covers her track well, or the player think it's useless for lawsuit since all hell had broken lose anyway.? Or you can write the lawsuit and confrontation if you want.

OP here, that sounds great! A fangirl putting the pics online could be a believable way for it to get out there before the player has a chance to do anything about it.

Juan was just about to leave for training when he saw the pictures, some fans @replied him on Twitter linking to the images in their tweets. A breath caught in his throat before he grabbed his keys and made his way to Cobham ( ... )

A few minutes later, Steve reappeared and called Juan too. Outside the room Eden’s face was stony. “Mourinho wants to have a meeting with Eden about the pictures that leaked this morning.” Steve stopped and looked over at Eden before continuing. “But Eden said he wouldn’t go unless you came with him ( ... )

“I just want Benjamin to come back. His trip still has another five days.” Eden said, fidgeting with his car keys when the coach had arrived back at Cobham. “This morning when I called him, he was all worked up and wanted to come home, but I told him to stop being stupid and finish his trip ( ... )

Oh, author anon, not the OP, but I'm so grateful to you for writing this. Is there going to be more?
I approve your choice of Eden, he seems like a tough guy and it was interesting how he would stand all the pressure.
I loved how supportive Jose was. Didn't expect that. Your Jose was different and I loved it.
And Juan... He was awesome. Always next to Eden when he needed it.
I always wonder what will happen, if a top player comes out. I'm sure the away matches will be hell and don't doubt even for a minute that there will be many ignorant home fans too. Or 'fans', as you rightfully noted.
Glad Eden was strong enough to get over that with adorable Juan's help, thought the scene when he started crying in the changing room was truly heartbreaking.
Thanks so much for this. I loved it.
