Finger marks on each other and disguise them as training accidents and blame Finnan" Lol poor Finns!What a sweet chapter. Kinda sad, true, but it was really sweet.
Great chapter, ederra.

Eskerrik asko!

I try really hard not to make everything too sad, but I think I'm going to fail miserably... Not that sad is bad in itself...

Omg you make me sad :(

Though, this did make me very happy:

It’s being happy because of football but without football at the same time. His fingers stop their idle ambling through Xabi’s hair and he looks at the top of Xabi’s head resting just under his ribs.

“What now?” Xabi protests against his skin, lazily crawling up Stevie’s chest.

“Nothing…”

"We lost and it sucks. And is all your fault, OK? Worst Captain ever,” Xabi chuckles, closes his eyes and his lips around Stevie’s Adam’s apple.

Sorry. I hope there'll be little things to make up for the sadness from now on too. ;)

Oh no...here we go...the inevitable!! But...i love this: “What do you want me to say? Ask you to…” Xabi looks for the perfect word somewhere over the horizon, but fails to find it, the memory of some yellowed page of English prose too distant to be of any use, “…run away with me? Go to play for the San Jose Earthquakes and to retire in a beach home in California? ...Listen to you when you sing cheesy Phil Collins songs in the shower? ... Get a dog?” Remain your sense of humor in shitty times!!!

I can´t with this: They can stop anytime they want to, really. They do stop, several times, the months in between those times used as a respite, a lull in proceedings between the times when they barely look at each other and celebrate goals with a half-hearted pat on the head and the other times, the times when they leave purple bruises and finger marks on each other and disguise them as training accidents and blame Finnan. Is the badass face of Finns right?? It has to be...

Really only six chapter left?? :(

Cheers babe!!

Blame Finnan is always a good motto in life, no matter what your job is. :)

Really only six chapter left??

Five now. ;p And only about three left to write for me. I might have to get a life once I'm done. Scary.

GGaaaaaaaaahhhh. Another great chapter, made even better by the fact that I come from very near the place in Ireland where this language exchange took place, and have been waiting for it to feature in fic forever. I also like the mysterious little section on the tennis coach. <3

Me too!!! I'm so relieved that worked for you, I didn't want to go overboard with it, but it just HAD to be done! There are even pictures of his face going all coy and embarrassed when they ask him if he kissed any Irish girl so...

I also like the mysterious little section on the tennis coach.

He was... necessary and I like to let readers use their imagination. Thank you for such a great comment!
