international; seven drabbles
Title: el segundo más alto
Pairing: Íker Casillas/David Beckham
Rating: PG
He hasn’t said his goodbyes yet, but he isn’t ready, so Íker brushes by David, a hitch in his breath when chest presses against chest and it’s almost like those days again, and finds Romeo instead. He crouches down to the boy’s level and holds his face in gentle keeper’s hands, a hitch in his breath because the middle one looks most like his father, and says adiós hijo. He gives Romeo a last hug and receives a kiss Spanish-style in return, a hitch in his breath because it is that or tears in his eyes and he isn’t ready.
Title: Inappropriately Titled
Pairing: Fernando Gago/Gonzalo Higuaín
Rating: R
This…is awkward, Gonzalo manages to think though his hand is still working furiously on his cock. He throws a sideway glance at Fernando, whose head pushes back against the bed with dark hair clinging to his face, his eyes closed in something like a grimace, but they both know better.
“Fernando…?”
A groan. “A little busy here, Gonzalo.”
“I know, but…”
“What is it?”
“Why are we watching German porn?”
“When in Germany…”
“But-”
“Mmpfh, damn it, Pipita, it’s not as if we’re watching for the enthralling dialogue, are we?”
“No, but…”
“What?”
“Why are the subtitles in Swedish?”
Title: International Relations
Pairing: Cesc Fàbregas/Robin van Persie, Tomáš Rosický/Aliaksandr Hleb
Rating: G
One time, Aleks catches Cesc stuffing an Oranje scarf into his bag.
“Since when’re you a fan?” he asks, reaching for it with interest.
The Spaniard flushes, feeling caught, and mutters, “Oh, you know…international relations.”
“What do you mean?”
“It’s Robin, okay? He’s made me a fan is all.”
“I figured as much,” Aleks replies with a grin that makes Cesc a little redder in the face. He snatches it back and hides it deep in his bag before brushing by Aleks and saying, “Yeah, well, I saw the Czech shorts in your locker too, but I didn’t say anything!”
Title: Istanbul (II)
Pairing: Ricardo Kakà/Andriy Shevchenko
Rating: PG
“Will you meet me in Istanbul one day?”
It’s the last question he asks you and it leaves you a little more than heartbroken. You swallow and he looks serious.
“Why…?” you start, not knowing how to finish.
He looks away before saying, “It’s our city.”
And you don’t understand.
“We’ll always have Milan.”
He shakes his head. “Milan is home. (London is not, will never be.) Istanbul is…”
“…where it all goes wrong.”
“You forget,” he says and you still don’t understand.
It isn’t until after he leaves that you see half-empty champagne bottles and a number of kisses.
Title: LA
Pairing: Implied Íker Casillas/David Beckham
Rating: G
“How far away is LA?” Romeo asks as they sit down on a bench in the park. Íker falls silent, just moments ago unaware that such a simple question can be so difficult to answer.
“I don’t know, hijo,” he starts slowly, insisting on choosing his words carefully, “but you’ve been there.”
Then Romeo grows quiet, his feet swinging, unable to reach the ground.
“It’s not Madrid,” he decides. “It’s a little like London…but it’s not Madrid.”
Íker doesn’t say anything.
“It’s far away,” Romeo continues. “Daddy slept on the plane.”
Íker hesitates. “Do you like it?”
“No. Daddy doesn’t.”
Title: Ocupado
Pairing: Fernando Gago/Gonzalo Higuaín
Rating: R
“Too tight for comfort!” Gonzalo hisses, flattening his palms against the wall on either side of Fernando’s head.
“Tell me about it,” is the gruff reply, while Fernando struggles to unzip his own jeans.
“I meant the space in this excuse for a lavatory!”
“Yes, that too. Ease up now, will you?”
“There’s no room; this is such a brilliant idea, Gago. ‘But I’m so horny-’”
“I meant on the sink!”
Gonzalo is shoved onto it anyway and he gasps as hands and lips make their ways and he only has enough time to breathe, “Did you lock it?”
Title: Where in the World is Andriy Shevchenko?
Pairing: Ricardo Kakà/Andriy Shevchenko
Rating: PG
There is London and there is Milan and all other cities don’t seem to matter so much even if you live not to offend. In any case, you believe that you’re already too far gone to be forgiven, but that doesn’t stop you from repenting-nor does it stop you from sinning, for that matter (it’s a different matter).
And there is A and there is N, there are D, R, I, Y, and all other letters don’t seem to matter so much even though he only takes up six because you know that he’s taken up so much more.
