Three drabbles; Arsenal
Umbrella Disclaimer: Not true. Not, as far as I'm aware, a word of it!
1.
Title: Thierry & The Henrys
Author: hallucinogenia
Team of Choice: ARSENAL!
Prompt: [Hey Ya]
Pairing: Technically, none. But feel free to imagine that it's Alex/Cesc/Tomáš/Mathieu
Rating: PG
Notes: Dude, my first football AU! God, I crack myself up. Mainly what I like about this is imagining Thierry doing that stupid dance in the video.
"Of course we understand, Thierry; you have to do what's right for you."
The words almost wouldn't come out, with Mathieu glaring at him, pacing the floor as though he was stomping on Thierry's head with each step, and Alex and Cesc slumped miserably against the foot of the bed, but what else could he say? 'No, don't leave us. Without you we're just And The Henrys'?
Tomáš ended the call on Thierry's soft apologies and sank down onto the bed behind Cesc, who tipped his head back to look at him, eyes raw.
"God, what do we do now?"
2.
Title: Hey Yaya
Author: hallucinogenia
Team of Choice: Arsenal
Prompt: [Hey Ya]
Pairing: Kolo Touré/Philippe Senderos
Rating: G
Notes: Oh, I lol'd when this idea came to me! Also, I'm pretending Touré isn't already married. Btw, Yaya is Kolo's younger brother, and Julien is Philippe's older brother.
"Hey, Yaya!"
"Kolo!"
The brothers embraced amidst much backslapping and laughter. It made Philippe suddenly miss his own family fiercely, though he and Julien were rarely so demonstrative - or loud - with their affection for each other. Not in public, certainly. As nervous as he was about it, he was looking forward to taking Kolo home in just a couple of days.
All of a sudden, he realised they were both eyeing him, and coughed awkwardly.
"Yaya, this is my...Philippe," Kolo said, sounding almost shy.
Philippe stuck out his hand, and grinned in sheer relief when Yaya shook it immediately.

Title: Crossed Wires
Author: hallucinogenia
Team of Choice: Arsenal
Prompt: [Hey Ya]
Pairing: Guti/Arancha (his wife), Guti/Arancha/Higuaín
Rating: PG-13
Seeing her husband's car already in the driveway, Arancha's heart skipped a beat. Steeling herself, she spared her reflection a quick glance in the window. He was in the kitchen; however, the tall young man with him was a shock.
"Arancha! You remember Gonzalo, don't you?"
"You ass!" she snapped as soon as she got him alone. "You know I meant the other little Argentine!"
"Gago's a dick. I don't want his hands anywhere near you."
"But Higuaín's are fine?"
"Gonzalo has nice hands," José María smirked obnoxiously.
He did, Arancha had to admit, hours later, have very nice hands.
I will definitely be needing a Mathieu Flamini tag.
