Title: Let sleeping dogs
Author: Abby (louis_quatorze/4or5paragraphs
Team of Choice: Arsenal
Prompt: Lie
Pairing (if needed): Jens Lehmann/Paolo Maldini
Rating: PG
There was unfinished business in the way Paolo touched Jens' arm and the way Jens smiled. Things that never had the time to form. Explanations that were never given. Paolo's loyalty and Jens' pride. The skin of Paolo's neck reminded Jens of what he never did, the nagging, hidden regrets. The pain and the buried. Jens' hair, thinner now but with those same loose curls, reminded Paolo of the one thing he hadn't been able to win. Paolo leaned in and Jens remembered so much. Paolo smiled sadly. Their eyes met. Sharp exhales warmed the air.
Paolo kissed his cheek.
