trishkiss_x wanted a fic (you didn't specify any particular pairing...), after our scrappy win over Sunderland, so here it is :)
Gary Neville knows the exact moment he became best friends with David Beckham. The very first day of training, Phil dared to leave Gary alone, while he went and made new friends. Gary stood in a corner, silently cursing his younger brother for being so friendly. Then out of the corner of his eye, he spotted another young lad standing on the opposite corner of the field. He didn't appear to be angry like Gary, but was fidgeting with his jacket awkwardly. The lone boy caught Gary's eye and offered a small smile. For some odd reason, Gary decided to go up to him and start a conversation. By the end of the hour, they were inseperable, like Siamese twins. Phil was shocked.
Gary Neville knows the exact moment he and David became more than 'just friends'. They were both drunk, after having spent hours in a pub with an exhuberant Roy Keane and several pints of some weird liquid that Ryan insisted 'went straight to your head'. David was leaning on Gary for support and they both stumbled out of the pub, walking in zigzags along the side of the road. After a few minutes of silence, David began to sing and even though a small, sober voice in Gary's head told him not to laugh, Gary's drunk self began to laugh. Being already highly unbalanced, the laughter just served to unsteady them even more and they both fell onto a patch of grass. They looked at each other for a long time and this time, even Gary's sober voice was telling him to kiss David. Gary obeyed.
The next morning, Gary found both his drunk and sober self in David's bed, naked of course. David just stared at him doubtfully until Gary made up his mind and decided to stay in bed. David seemed pleased, although he tried not to show it.
Gary Neville knows the exact moment he and David became a couple. The rest of the lads seemed to think that Gary and David had been together for ages; only Roy Keane bothered to seem slightly surprised, and even he was mocking them. Gary wondered whether he'd been oblivious to David's feelings for him, a doubt that was affirmed when David looked at him from across the training grounds and smiled shyly. It was the same look that Gary saw every day, except this time around, he actually noticed what it meant. He saw Paul and Ryan laughing at what must have been a shocked expression on his face. He tried to remain calm for the rest of training and afterward, waited for David, ignoring everyone's taunts, Ryan's gleeful expression, and Nicky's "Go for it!". But before he said anything, David asked, "Do you, y'know, wannagooutsometime?" Once he comprehended the last few words, Gary felt the strangest sensation of happiness and wanted to shout from the rooftops that he was dating David Beckham, but instead chose the slightly more composed route: "Sure!"
Gary Neville knows the exact moment he and David had moved from first love to true love. David was getting drinks for both of them, at some bar in Madrid. Gary was nervous and anxious, like he was talking to his high school crush for the first time. "The air hangs heavy with the weight of words unspoken," a drunk Spaniard said rather wisely, when he caught Gary staring longingly after David. As soon as David returned with the drinks, Gary blurted out, "I love you." David had looked at him for a long while, his eyes searching Gary's, before he answered, "And I love you." It was a different 'I love you' though, no longer three words that just made Gary feel giddy with happiness. They were deeper, and though they remained the same three words, they meant so much more. It was an 'I love you' that stretched through time and distance, over ten years, and now, hundreds of miles between them. It was an 'I love you' that settled any doubt in Gary's mind; he knew David would be his forever.
