I'm so proud that I understood Andy's Spanish :')

Lovely ficlet, bb! I'm even starting to like the new mature (and also more interesting on and off court, thank god) Andy M... and (unrequited) Andy crushes on Rafa... I always cave on the players I don't like once I pay attention to them a bit more. Nole converted me last year, I guess it's Andy's turn now!

[meretricula]

you're doing better than me, then... seriously, I have no Spanish whatsoever, it's embarrassing.

aww, thank you! I warm up to players as soon as they declare their affection for Rafa. I'm a total sucker for people who crush on my boy. =D

Me too. Roger even wiggled his way back into my heart when he recently defended Rafa in an interview. It doesn't take much, does it? lol

yeah, I didn't mind him for a few minutes after that and then again after the Hit for Haiti. but then I remembered that I hate his stupid face (no, seriously, idk what it is but his face really just makes me angry for some reason) and all was right with the universe again.

P.S. Please keep this up, you guys! I beg you! I've been starved for fic lately and these are so, so welcome :')

[meretricula]

aww, thank you bb! &hearts poor Andy, though - I'm always so mean to him, haha.

Oh my god, LOVE IT. I am developing a soft spot for Andy Murray lately and this was completely adorable and wonderful. And Rafa's reaction! Omg <3 so lovely.

[meretricula]

yay, thank you! it's pretty convenient that we all seem to be softening on Mandy at the same time, right? otherwise I feel that there would be less awww-ing and more questioning of my sanity. XD

[willowcabin]

hahaha yes, totally. I've been thinking that a lot of what I perceived as his douchey-ness was actually just intense awkwardness and that was TOTALLY IN THIS FIC and I loved it.

[meretricula]

oh, Mandy. it isn't his fault! he can't help having absolutely no social skills! (I am just waiting for the Laura-Robson-as-yenta fics to appear.)

Awesome summary. Nicely done.

[meretricula]

haha, thought way too long about what the right compound would be. thank you!
