a/n Inspired by das_teufelchen's icon which says 'Hold me tighter' but to me it looked like 'Held me tighter' and this scene popped into my brain. *shrug* This could have been longer but it would have been sooo angsty so I decided against it. :) I might do more with a similiar base idea if a plot bunny jumps on me, though... *covers the floor with carrots* Here, bunny-bunny-bunny!
”He held me tighter…”
Those words in the deep of the night whispered against the skin of his neck squeeze Wayne’s heart brutally. They make him want to push Ronnie off bed and throw his fucking hair gel from the nightstand after him.
The Portuguese freezes when he realises he said that out loud. Wayne bites on his lips and stares at the ceiling, flinching when his fingertips grace the skin of Ronnie’s shoulder by accident.
This proximity feels suffocating after the hardly spoken admission by the winger.
“I didn’t mean-”, Cristiano sighs, rolling to lie on his back, resting his head on his pillow instead of Wayne’s shoulder, trapping the English man’s arm under him.
“-to say that out loud, I know”, the striker snaps, yanking his arm from under the Portuguese’s back.
They lie side by side on the bed, quiet. Cristiano has his hands nestled in his hair, fisting the dark strands while Wayne is lying next to him, stock-still, his right hand over his stomach, as far from Ronnie as it could reach.
“I’m gonna go home”, he whispers, pushing the sheets away from him.
Cristiano sits up, his hands now tucked between his thighs. His eyes follow the silhouette of the English man as he makes his way across the room. “Wayne”, he pleads but the only answer he gets is the sound of the door slamming.
