“It conditions me for the rest of the day,” Pipita explains with a laugh. “Ronaldo’s always going on about the size of my ass, I’m going to take him for his money.”

“You bet him about your ass?” Karim asks, amused.

“Well Sergio did,” Pipita admits. Then brightens. “But he feeds me, so it’s basically the same thing.” like how am i even supposed to //move forward// from this. i so resisted in general the idea of benz/pip after you had pip/sergio making out in the club and i was thinking "i know she said benz ha a HEA but i want this to be the ship of the fic

THE LONGEST COMMENT 1/6

Now he sticks his earbuds in and scrolls through his various playlists until he finds his favorite workout mix. It’s part-rap and part-hip hop and not a single song that reminds him of his own. He prefers it that way.

This is a great little detail that really says a lot about Benz' character.

He’s not the fastest runner and he never has been, but he has enormous amounts of stamina. Once his music starts playing and his mind starts wandering, he can run for over an hour and forget to stop, although children pass him by easily on bicycles or just by playing tag.There was a time when he used to mind, but these days, running is the only thing that clears his mind at all.

Skfastgyhgg the kids passing him is a great image and a great detail and hilarious, but at the same time it feels like this ~metaphor~ for something. Like life is passing Benz by. Idk. /english major

He likes feeling overwhelmed by his whole body because then, and only then, does he forget to think. I like, don't know much or care much about Benz at all, but this

THE LONGEST COMMENT 2/6

Karim shrugs. He sticks a blueberry in his mouth and chews on it. His stomach growls, he’s clearly hungry, but he thinks of the protein shake he has packed back at his house and meal replacements and-fuck, all he really wants is a fucking muffin.

OMG I’M LIKE CRYING FOR HIM OMG THIS IS SO SAD :(((((((((((( WHY IS HE ON THIS SUPER-CRAZY DIET?????????

He parks the rental in the designated spot, kills the engine, and folds his sunglasses into his pocket so that he doesn’t look like a complete tool. … He’s wearing it on top of a graphic t-shirt and jeans, shoes that don’t match and a large, golden watch on his wrist. Clearly he’s not too worried about not looking like a tool

LMFAHAHAHAHHAAH ~*~*FASHUN*~*~

“I am looking for Senõr Casillas?”
“Aren’t they all?” Eva says smartly.

TROLOLOLOLOL I love Eva she is fantastic.

Iker Casillas’ image is more prolific and only slightly less holy than the odd appearance of Jesus on slices of toast.

OIC EVEN WHEN HE ISNT A GK, IKER IS STILL A ~*~*~SAINT. OFC TBH, OFC.

He wears a lot more plaid

THE LONGEST COMMENT 3/6

“You let them tie you?”
“No, you let them tie me,” Pipita says emphatically.
“What did I do?”
“You distracted me. With your French. Fuck you. And your French. Who’s Yoann?”

dyyyyyying.

Pipita scrunches his body into a somewhat proper sitting position, although he’s still half sprawled against Karim’s side.

O I C WAT U R DOIN THAR.

“What a terrible mouth you have on you. We’ll have to wash it out with Orangina.”
“Where have you been learning your French stereotypes?” Karim snorts. He stops the game Pipita was playing and scrolls through the teams listed. He pauses at Lyon and remembers Yoann’s voice. His heart skips a beat at the same time his stomach clenches. He moves past them and settles on Lille.
“Wikipedia,” Pipita says promptly. He scrolls through and picks River Plate this time. “And Sergio.”
Karim rolls his eyes. “I should have known.”

1. LMFAOOOOO SERGIO IS THE WORST INFLUENCE EVER. THE /WORST/. 2. OMG BEEEEENZ U R BREAKING MY HEART GUUUUURL.

“Joder!” Benzema curses in Spanish

THE LONGEST COMMENT 4/6

“When you become a famous rapper, can I say that I knew you first?” Sergio asks lazily. He’s flipping through the channels, legs dangling off the couch. “Don’t forget the little people, asshole, make sure to take me clubbing.”
“Does he ever think of anything else?” Karim asks Pipita. The Argentine shrugs, incredibly intent on making the perfect Spanish omelet. Karim cranes his head over toward his couch. “Do you ever think of anything else?”
“Nope,” is Sergio’s response as he continues and stops on Animal Planet to watch a morning special on puppies. “Remember what I said. My career ends when I hit thirty-four, I’m going to need someone to mooch off of.”
Karim downs his drink and winces from the aftertaste.
“And your solution is me.”
“You’re French, but you’ll do,” Sergio gives a thumbs up from the couch.
“Who’s the asshole now?”
“Mmm,” is Sergio’s response. He grins at puppies rolling around on the ground together. “Still you.” This is completely hilarious and Sergio is a huge asshole, but at the same time I think it gives a little
