five drabbles; team of choice: ogc nice
Title: Bonds
Author: caydelaura
Team of choice: OGC Nice
Prompt: Dark
Pairing: Franck Ribéry, Luca Toni
Rating: G
Disclaimer: Not true
Notes: Five drabbles written on the occasion of beautiful pints's birthday. *squishes*
Franck can't understand how a man of Luca's size is absolutely unable to hold his liquor.
"You --," a finger jabs painfully into Franck's shoulder, "are the only one I'd trust to bring me home. Even though you're French." Luca nods meaningfully. "And you're not as tall as I am either."
Franck rolls his eyes (he knows a compliment when he sees it) and shrugs so Luca's arm comes to rest more securely around his shoulders as they make their way through the night, one of them hoping for a taxi rank, the other quite happy just where he is.
Title: Dare
Author: caydelaura
Team of choice: OGC Nice
Prompt: Dark
Pairing: Alberto Gilardino/Marco Materazzi
Rating: PG-13
Disclaimer: Not true
Alberto doesn't like admitting this to himself, but he actually needs Marco the most in the moments the other man doesn't treat him better than a stray dog. Marco has made him learn that he's probably even less than that.
Alberto has also learned that when he's sloppy, when he takes too long to answer or reacts defiantly to one of Marco's sneers, the other man will hit him a little harder that night, make him feel a little number inside.
"I just asked you something, Alberto."
The younger man shrugs and turns away, feeling Marco's eyes burn through him.
Title: Lying
Author: caydelaura
Team of choice: OGC Nice
Prompt: Dark
Pairing: Alberto Gilardino/Alexandre Pato
Rating: G
Disclaimer: Not true
Turning the envelope in his hand, Alberto doesn't even need to read the carefully written name at the back to know that it's from Alex, to know that the letter's Italian will still be flawed, that the script will look like the boy was in a hurry to write and send it off.
It's nothing special, "I can't believe it's already been a season. … I'll be returning home in three days, I missed it. … "
When Alberto replies that he misses Milan (answering that unasked question), it'll be his own dark secret that it's not because of Alexandre.
Title: Walls
Author: caydelaura
Team of choice: OGC Nice
Prompt: Dark
Pairing: Ruud van Nistelrooy/Cristiano Ronaldo
Rating: G
Disclaimer: Not true
'I have become pretty good at this', Ruud thinks. Distance doesn't make the heart grow fonder, not if you don't want it to. It lets you build walls if you want to build them. Ruud very much wanted them, needed them, needs them still.
A picture of them catches his eye in a magazine, a picture from the dark days when Cristiano was only a boy, and Ruud was everything to him, twenty of his twenty-five English words, the only non-Portuguese number in his mobile.
Ruud doesn't dare to think of it as "home" any longer; his walls crumble easily.
Title: Curious
Author: caydelaura
Team of choice: OGC Nice
Prompt: Dark
Pairing: Luís Figo/Ricardo Quaresma
Rating: G
Disclaimer: Not true
Luís's finger swipes over Ricardo's bottom lip, and he can't hide the dark flash in his eyes as he presses closer, his voice exactly what he wants it to be as he asks the boy if this is the very reason he got it.
"Is it because you can make it hurt?" Luís lets his lips ghost along Ricardo's until he reaches the lip stud. Luís licks it before sucking it into his mouth, unaccustomed to the cold metal on his tongue. Then he bites down on the tender flesh, and Ricardo's needy whimper is the answer to his question.
