Title: Battlelines
Author:
hallucinogeniaTeam of Choice: Arsenal
Prompt: [Hey Ya]
Pairing: Manuel Almunia/Jens Lehmann
Rating: PG-13
Going in, he knew it was a fucking stupid idea; sleeping with any teammate would have been stupid enough, but his direct rival? He knew it would end badly. Still, he's surprised how quickly it all collapses. Two poor games, and suddenly the words between them are jagged (his fault, he knows, but he just can't stand going through this again). One rash, bitter interview, and the battlelines are drawn: Jens on one side, Manuel and most of the team on the other, looking at him like they know exactly what he did, but there's no taking it back now.

Title: Six Of The Best
Author:
hallucinogeniaTeam of Choice: Arsenal
Prompt: [Hey Ya]
Pairing: Pat Rice/Theo Walcott
Rating: R
Notes: Spanking as discipline
"This is Arsenal, not some Championship side. Show it some respect!"
On the last word, Pat brought his palm down again with a satisfying crack. The half-naked teenager lying across his lap flinched and whined, but he had at least stopped trying to get away. He didn't need reminding to count out, either, this time, though his voice was watery and choked. He was learning. A pity, really, Pat thought, admiring the ruddy pink overtaking the boy's golden skin. They were so much fun like this.
One last smack, and then Pat let Theo get up, sniffling and repentant.

Title: Walking, Talking, Living Doll
Author:
hallucinogeniaTeam of Choice: Arsenal
Prompt: [Hey Ya]
Pairing: Massimo Oddo/Yoann Gourcuff
Rating: PG-13
Oddo's gaze hangs on Yoann's shoulders like chains, unremitting and always loud, loud, obnoxiously jarring with every clumsy, self-conscious step he takes. In training, in the locker room, in the car park, always those cool, hooded eyes on him, dispassionately taking in every detail.
He doesn't know what Oddo wants, but what Yoann himself wants is becoming clearer and clearer, every time he feels that gaze on him and realises he's already shifting to present a better picture; he can't lie to himself.
Nobody else seems to notice but, frighteningly, he doesn't think he can lie to Oddo, either.
