Those Damn Things!

Pairing: Fernando/Jade

Prompt: Weeks, Writer’s Choice (Vuvuzela)

--------------------------------------------

It was only in the second week of being in the FIFA tournament did Fernando finally noticed something.

Jade wasn’t happy.

She could put a smile all she wanted and say she was ‘cool’ but he realized it was a lie when he thought about it. If she was so happy, why didn’t she go out to the festivities or join him when he went out?

She simply stayed in their hotel room, reading a book or watched T.V and only ventured out when she needed to eat or the maid came to clean. She made up excuse after excuse when he offered to take her out to dinner or a simple stroll around the area.

He didn’t notice it the past fourteen days because of matches, training and press interviews. It was only when his friend and Captain, Setven Gerrad, noted her lack of activity since their arrival.

She was most likely homesick and tired from all the travelling they had done. Hopping from one plane to another and another could do that to somehow who’s used to staying in one place for a long time.

Why didn’t he notice it before? He felt like an idiot for not paying more attention and doing something about it earlier. What could he do now to make her happy?

He confessed these feelings to his team one day after practice when they were changing in the lockers and they gave many, many suggestions on how to cheer her up. Most of the suggestions consisted of sex.

“How about a gift?” Daniel Agger, one of the central defenders, suggested. “She might cheer up if you get her something she likes and feels better.”

That was a good idea. Now all he had to do was find a gift…

Originally just a oneshot, it got longer than it should have (in my opinion) so I decided to break it down to multiple chapters. Sorry Jade. >__>

Anyways, this is requested by said friend bookxbutterfly. I choose Vuvuzela from inspiration (and nightmares) from the sounds of it alone. Whatever you do, DON’T GOOGLE VIDEOS OF IT. DON’T.
