Not for Profit - football fic - Kaka/David James

Not for Profit
Kaka/David James, PG
~2800 words
BEAR WITH ME OKAY. THIS WORKS. Written as a challenge, the pairing was randomly selected. It turned into a romcom-esque story of unlikely boyfriends. With Ronaldo.

aww that was so sweet :) when I first saw the pairing, I was like o.O but then I heard of the CrisKa friendship, and I had to read it.

you wrote it so well, I like your portrayal of Kaka. I would never put David James and Kaka together, but you actually made it real and believable.

And Cris is ADORABLE. “Someone has to look after you,” Cristiano says. “You’re so nice.” I just melted at that part. The CrisKa interactions in the story are priceless. great job! :)

Yes I have to say the Ronaldo Kaka friendship almost distracted me from the actual plot, hehe. Thank you for your lovely comment, I really appreciate it <3

You, you know I love this. I am so so delighted you decided to write this. I'm so impressed with what started out as us giggling on my bed over the ridiuclous pairing that this is, has turned into something that is so suprsingly warm and understated and gentle. Like kaka and dj's great love affair you've written this against all the odds, hehe ( ... )

THIS IS THE LOVELIEST FEEDBACK I HAVE EVER GOT FROM ANYONE.

I am so glad, you know I didn't care what anyone else thought about my portrayal of Kaka, only you. I know this is the silliest pairing but I genuinely wanted to give Kaka his due, you know.

I'm glad you liked that romcom aspect too. Being something I NEVER WRITE, it was actually really fun for me. They meet! They talk on the phone! His best friend makes him go on a date! There's awkward table talk! They kiss in his apartment! THAT WAS REALLY FUN FOR ME.

I love you, anyway. Is what I meant.
