Title: Reaparición
Author: analysezceci
Team of Choice: Liverpool
Prompt: Score
Pairing: Steven Gerrard/Xabi Alonso, I suppose, though it's pretty general
Rating: PG
It happens three times in six minutes.
(Rafa speaks at half-time, and they don't hear (they hear the crowd though) but they feel, and when they walk out again, there's the sensation that he hasn't stopped, yet.)
The first is quick, forceful, desperate, but decisive. And the captain carries on, and the team carries on.
The second is more confident, stable (and white becomes a symbol of despair).
The third (almost) happens in slow-motion. Pounding hearts (millions) stop for a nanosecond, and then-- He's deafened by the crowd, until a cheek presses against his, an arm settles on his shoulders.
