Notes: all of them for the wonderful, inspirational bustedflush. :x
Pippo had been unusually quiet that night. The movie they had rented wasn't exactly good, but didn't merit that sort of response (or lack thereof). Quite the contrary, to be exact - they should have had better things to do with an evening like that.
So Bobo had leaned back quietly and snuck a foot across the cushions, poking the other man in the side, asking what was wrong. Pippo's answer had surprised him. Surprised and somewhat frightened.
"Today, I caught myself counting the years. I used to have more left than these three, four. -- Whatever will we do?"

"Try to calm down a little, Alberto," Clarence had said to him once, before they entered the bus. The striker had made a noncommittal sound and shrugged him off.
"That's not what I need, Clarence."
"Then maybe you need --"
"Oh, what, Clarence," Alberto said defiantly and stared straight ahead. "Unless, of course, you want to tell me I need a change. You wouldn't be the first."
They hadn't spoken again for three days. Alberto was falling into step beside Clarence that afternoon, and the midfielder could feel him relax as they jogged along, a small, sad smile in place.

Prompt: End
Pairing: Sébastien Frey/ Pablo Osvaldo
Rating: G
Disclaimer: Not true
Notes: Set after Fiorentina's win over Parma in Florence in which Osvaldo scored the 3:1 in the 89th minute.
"My God, were you pleased with yourself," Sébastien laughed quietly, his eyes bright and warm as Pablo bustled through the locker room, the two of them the only ones left.
"There's a difference between pleased and happy, Seba," the striker said, though not without a certain smugness in his eyes as he nudged the keeper's legs to sit down beside him. "Wouldn't you be?"
"I am," Sébastien laughed and brought a hand up into Pablo's still wet hair, pulling him closer for a quick kiss on the temple. "Are you going to treat me to a beer now or what?"

Prompt: End
Pairing: Sébastien Frey/ Pablo Osvaldo
Rating: G
Disclaimer: Not true
Notes: Set after today's match that assured Fiorentina a CL spot.
Sébastien was sure Pablo would burst from all the laughter and absolute glee that - and he had to admit this - were symptomatic for the whole team now, including himself. This feeling, it was fucking fantastic. Each and every one of them knew what they had fought for week and week again, and though there had been a few setbacks (ah, he remembered, though now was definitely not the time to do so), every season had been fought for to achieve just this.
"Old man, stop brooding and dance with me," Pablo laughed, and Sébastien knew he was doomed.

Pablo's hand was wandering aimlessly across Sébastien's back. The Frenchman moved a little, but didn't wake, instead burying himself deeper into the warmth and comfort Pablo provided, caught between the back of the sofa and the keeper's body pressed so close as he was.
When Pablo tried to reach the remote and switch off the music still playing quietly, Sébastien stirred.
"You put me asleep, Pablo," he mumbled, his befuddled movements only resulting in him almost knocking them both off the couch.
"Oh yes, because that's my only goal in life," Pablo laughed as he caught Sébastien by the hip.

Pairing: Hugo Lloris/Ederson
Rating: G
Disclaimer: Not true
Notes: Part of Operation: Nice.
Seeing Hugo like this hurt, not because of what the keeper was saying as he gesticulated wildly and accused Eder of leaving without a second thought, but because of the bitter tears that didn't stop running down his cheeks, and how he almost collapsed onto the settee once he was done venting, his voice now raw and strained as he started apologising immediately.
"I'm foolish, I'm sorry, you need to go, I know, but I just… cannot imagine," Hugo sniffled even as Eder cupped his face and brushed away the tears.
"I'm not breaking my promises, Hugo. I love you."
