Championship loss - Julian Brandt

Pairing: Julian Brandt x female reader

Warnings: I'm gonna break your hearts again with the Championship loss, but also a lot of fluff, soft moments, teeny tiny bit of teasing, badly translated German, mentions of Jannis and Jascha

Word Count: 1653

Note: As always, English is not my first language. This one has been on my mind since we lost. Next one should be a Jude one and then I can get to the requests in my inbox. This one just had to come out now. Remember it's fictional, some parts may be alike with real life and some I just came up with. Please do not copy and/or publish my work, reblogging is perfectly fine!

Dortmund vs Mainz. The last game of the season and all we needed to do was win. Win so we could win the league. Win so we could lift the Meisterschale. That was the dream, everything Dortmund had worked so hard for and we didn’t win it. The equalizer from Niklas wasn’t enough because Bayern won their game. And now everything has become a nightmare. She’s watching speechless as she sees the defeat and utter disbelief on everyone’s faces.

But the one she is worried about most hasn’t come back onto the field again. Julian was subbed out in the 62nd minute and she knows he’s beating himself up. She may not be able to see him from where she’s stood, but she can feel his pain. Pain she also feels because she loves Dortmund, but it’s probably nothing compared to Julian’s pain and the other players. She’s not even surprised that not a single fan has left the stadium, the fans loyal to a fault. She’s still trying to find him when the stadium camera’s zoom in on the bench and there he is. Eyes red and teary, a few wet streaks and Julian just staring into the distance. That’s the moment she started crying too.

She watched as Terzic went to Julian and patted him on the face. The camera’s stopped showing the bench after that and a few moments later Julian stepped back out on the pitch. She watched as he slowly made his way to his teammates in front of the yellow wall. He didn’t really approach anyone, just standing between everyone and she knows he is already closing himself off. The disappointment is clear everywhere and yet the yellow wall sings and they support their players. They clap for the yellow wall, apologizing to the fans and thanking them for their support.

She watches as Julian crouches down, hand going over his face. She grabs onto Jascha’s arm, who has been standing next to her the whole game. He looks down at her, eyes leaving his brother. He sees the pain on her face, the tears still streaming even if she wipes them every few minutes. He pulls his arm out of her grip and she looks up at him a little panicked. She’s scared that she had upset her younger brother-in-law, only to have him wrap his arm around her shoulders to help comfort her. In return she wraps an arm around his waist. She looks back to where she last saw Julian only to see his deflated form sitting near Nico.

All she wants to do is go to him, but she can’t. She’ll have to wait till he comes to her. She watches as the team gets up and goes to walk past the fans. The fans comfort the players as they walk by, a few of them giving away their jerseys, Julian included. And even though it really isn’t the time, she can’t help but admire Julian and his physique. She sees him shirtless all the time, but after a game it always hits differently. But it’s not just his physique, it’s the way he takes the time with fans, talks with them and shows them he is as disappointed as they are. And yet he appreciates every single fan. His introverted side is not in sight with the fans. But she knows that’ll change once they’re alone.

She notices that Jascha stopped rubbing her arm and that’s when she notices her tears have stopped as well. She turns to him and thanks him for being a brilliant brother-in-law. She spots Jannis still near the other photographers, he turns that exact moment and they lock eyes. He waves at her and she manages to wave back with a bittersweet smile before he turns back to take more pictures. That’s when Jascha softly squeezes her arm and she follows his gaze to the pitch. And she sees her favourite sweaty blonde walk towards them.

His head is down, but he walks with purpose.

She already has the boarding digging into her hips before he’s even close. But the second he’s close enough, her arms wrap around his shoulders. It’s as though a weight drops off his shoulders and he wraps his arms around her waist. They hide their faces against each other’s necks. She inhales his scent, a scent that’s pure Julian and she hears him do the same. She can’t help but tighten her grip on him a little and move one hand to his golden locks. He pulls her in a little closer and presses a few small, soft kisses to the nape of her neck.

“Ich bin so stolz auf dich, Schatzie.”

“Wofür? We drew the game and lost the title. We bottled it.”

She immediately pulls away and he looks at her a little offended that she’s pulled away from him so quickly. She immediately makes sure to make it up to him by putting her hands on his jaw and drawing his face closer to hers. His arms tighten around her again as she does so and she presses a few butterfly kisses across his face.

“I’m proud of you for the good times, the bad times and everything in between. You have given it your all, you all managed to get back from 9 points difference. You battled through an injury whilst being in your prime and you still managed to give Bayern the biggest challenge they’ve had in years. You, Julian Brandt, are one of the best players on this team and if you’d ask me alone, I’d tell everyone you are the best. For your spirit, your passion, your perseverance, your love for the club and the fans. You live and breathe football at this club Schatzie. And I wouldn’t be surprised if you’d end up being like Reus for the fans. You give everything and more Jule and you can’t imagine how proud I am that I get to call you mine.”

As she’s talking to him, she can see a few tears start to gather on his lashes again. He presses his forehead to hers and the smile he gives her is brighter than the sun. She returns the smile and presses a kiss to his lips. It’s sweet, loving and passionate all at once.

“Ich liebe dich.” He whispers against her lips and she smiles, returning the phrase to him.

It’s then that they realize where they are and that they’re not alone. Julian presses another quick kiss against her lips before going to hug Jascha, who is giving him a mischievous look. Both Julian and her give Jascha suspicious looks but he just waves them away. They share a look but let it go. Mats approaches them to tell Julian that they have to go inside. Julian nods and turns back to her one more time. He presses another kiss to her lips.

“Will you wait for me here in the stadium?” She nods at him and presses another kiss to his lips.

As he makes his way to the dressing room, she and Jascha head inside to wait for Julian in the family area. She gets the chance to ask Jascha what his mischievous look was for. He just glances at her and tells her to look at her phone. She gives him a confused look but does as he says. She sees a few messages from him and the second she opens them, she knows why he was acting that way. He took some pictures of her interaction with Julian. And she can’t help but feel happy that he did. It’s clear in the pictures that they clearly love each other very much and she knows she’ll definitely use one as her background and that she’ll hang a few in their apartment.

“Danke, Jascha.”

Jascha just shrugs and gives her a wink. They talk for about 20 minutes and during that time Jannis has joined them. He’s showing her some of the pictures he made when some players finally enter the room. Julian makes an immediate beeline towards them, ignoring everyone else and she knows he’s in his own headspace now. He gives Jannis a slap on his back and then moves to wrap his arm around her. He stands close to her, now without the boarding between them. His forehead leans against her temple and she runs a hand through his still partially wet hair.

They go home soon after that and once home they order some food and crash on the couch. He’s quiet as he hands her the remote for the tv. He makes sure she’s in the corner of the couch and then goes to lie down between her legs, his front pressed against hers, head on her chest. She chooses a series and runs her fingers through his hair as they wait for their food. They don’t talk and she knows Julian isn’t paying attention to the tv. He’s in his own head, thinking of today’s outcome.

They eat in silence once the food arrives and then move to their bed. She knows he needs his own headspace to get over it and she lets him approach her if he needs anything. She’s used to it and she knows it’s what he’s most comfortable with. He’s in bed before her, but the second she gets on the bed he immediately pulls her to him. He pulls her as close to him as he can, her head on his chest this time and the sound of his heartbeat calms her completely. His scent envelopes her again and she sighs in complete content, making Julian smile and press a kiss to her hairline.

“Danke, meine Liebe. Ich liebe dich.”

"Natürlich, Schatzie. Ich liebe dich für immer.”

This time it’s Julian that sighs in content. He presses one more kiss to her hairline and then they both drift off.

Ich bin so stolz auf dich, Schatzie: I am so proud of you darling Wofür?: For what? Ich liebe dich (für immer): I love you (always/forever) Danke: thank you Meine Liebe: my love Natürlich: of course

Sorry not sorry - Karim Adeyemi

Pairing: Karim Adeyemi x female Schlotterbeck reader, Nico Schlotterbeck x sister reader, Keven Schlotterbeck x sister reader

Warnings: unrequited love (at first), heartbreak, fluff, some nice brothers and sister moments, guilty feelings for Nico, happy ending though, a bit of ignoring as well, tiny bit of badly translated German

Word Count: 2486

Note: As always, English is not my first language. This one has been on my mind since forever and so here it is. Nico is playing matchmaker, but in the wrong way at first. I love the brothers/sister dynamic in this though. Oh and reader is the baby sister, mentioning that just in case. Please do not copy and/or publish my work, reblogging is fine!

If there is one thing she hated, it is her brother trying to play matchmaker. Nico loves to interfere with her love life and tries to get her to date some of his friends. She refuses every time, they are not her type most of the time. Luckily, Keven always backs her up when Nico suggests going on a date with another friend. She knows he only does it to make sure she ends up with a guy that would treat her right, but he clearly has no clue what her type is. Which is kind of ironic, because there is one friend that he doesn’t try to make her go on a date with and that’s just the guy that’s her type.

Nico and Karim are like brothers, they’ve been best friends since forever. She is two years younger than Nico, which makes her Karim’s age. She always gets along great with Karim as well, but the older she got the more her crush on Karim grew. She didn’t tell anyone and she still doesn’t tell anyone. Keven knows, but that’s because he figured it out on his own. He thinks it’s hilarious that his younger brother is trying to match their sister with a friend, when she’s in love with his best friend. He promised he wouldn’t tell anyone, she made him swear, but he hates the way she pines after Karim and the boy just doesn’t see. He’s afraid her heart will be broken.

And that day comes sooner than any of them expected. It’s a warm day when Keven is celebrating his birthday and he invited Karim as well, since he’s practically family and he gets along with him as well. What no one expected was Karim bringing a girl, his new girlfriend to be exact. Keven of course greets him happily and introduces himself to the girl. But the second he walks away he’s looking for his baby sister. He sees her not too far, trying to hold back the tears. The second she makes eye contact with Keven and sees the worried look he sends her, the tears break through and she practically runs upstairs. Keven immediately goes after her.

He follows her to the guest room and stops her from locking the door. He pushes through before locking the door himself. She throws herself in his arms, tears streaming and harsh sobs leaving her. He softly sways them side to side whilst shushing her and telling her everything will be alright. At the same time Nico is greeting Karim and his new girlfriend, no one has noticed that the brother and sister vanished from the party. That is until Karim asks for her, wanting to introduce her to his new girlfriend. Nico looks around trying to find her, but when he doesn’t see her he frowns.

“I’ll check upstairs, I’ll be right back.”

Nico goes upstairs, checking from room to room. He soon enough hears sobs coming from the guest room at the end of the hall. He immediately sprints the last bit and knocks on the door. He hears Keven ask who it is and then hears him ask their sister if he can open the door for Nico. He can’t hear her response, but soon enough the door opens. He walks in and finds their sister a mess in Keven’s arms. Keven almost gives him a desperate look, Nico asking him what’s going on with his eyes. Keven just shakes his head and presses a kiss to their sister’s forehead.

She looks up to find Nico looking at her, his expression concerned. Another loud sob leaves her before she moves from Keven to Nico, wrapping her arms around his waist as she hides her face against his chest. It’s like old times, Nico being the one that can calm her down the best. He gives Keven a confused look, who whispers what’s going on. Shock covers Nico’s face, he really hadn’t noticed at all and now he feels incredibly guilty. He hadn’t noticed his sister being in love with his best friend and he set up said best friend with his current girlfriend. Nico tightens his arms around his sister and starts apologizing whilst rubbing her back softly. Apologizing for not seeing, for aiding his best friend in breaking her heart.

It isn’t long before there is another knock at the door. Keven asks who it is, only for Karim to reply. And whilst Nico had managed to calm their sister down some, the sob that leaves her after hearing Karim’s voice, breaks the heart of both her brothers.

“It’s better if you don’t come inside Karim. She’s not feeling well and Nico is gonna take her to his apartment so she doesn’t make others sick at the party.”

Karim isn’t completely convinced. He heard the sob through the door and knows it can’t possibly be because she’s feeling ill. He accepts it though and moves back downstairs. Nico brings her to his car without anyone else noticing. He drives her to his apartment and once inside he grabs her a sweater and some joggers before turning on the shower.

“Get comfortable, and don’t feel pressured about not being at the party. Keven understands and we’ll make sure you won’t see Karim for a while. We’ll help you get over the crush.”

“Thank you Nic, I love you and Kev.”

“We love you too.”

Nico goes back to the party, explaining to everyone why their little sister wouldn’t attend the rest of the party. Of course their parents were suspicious, but they didn’t say anything. In the next few weeks she did everything she could to avoid seeing Karim. With the help of her brothers that was quite an easy thing to do. When the brothers had a game at the same time, she went to Keven’s game. When she could go to Nico’s game, she would be gone before the men even went into the tunnel after full time. She ignored Karim’s texts and let his calls go to voicemail. It frustrated him to no end. He doesn’t understand what’s going on or what he did wrong for her to be avoiding him. A few weeks went by and Karim’s had enough. He corners Nico to try and get something out of him, knowing that Nico can’t keep his mouth shut at all.

“Why is your sister avoiding me? And don’t try to lie to me, I know she’s avoiding me. I just don’t know why.”

“I don’t know. And if I did know I wouldn’t tell you.”

Karim is shocked as Nico passes him. Nico’s never reacted to him like this before. And this is the first cold shoulder Nico has ever given him. After getting all his thoughts together, he runs after Nico. Nico has a fast pace, clearly trying to get away as fast as he can. Karim calls his name and it only makes Nico walk faster. Karim sprints after him though and grabs his arm. Nico immediately pulls away, but Karim jumps in front of him. Nico heaves a deep sigh as he avoids Karim’s eyes.

“I can’t tell you. I’ve already hurt her enough when it comes to you. I’m not gonna make it worse.” Karim is even more confused now.

“What do you mean Nico? Hurt her enough when it comes to me? What is this about? Please tell me, she’s my friend too and I have no clue why she’s decided not to have contact with me.”

Nico sees the look in Karim’s eyes and knows he won’t let it go. So he heaves another deep sigh before explaining it all to Karim. How Nico setup Karim with his current girlfriend, not knowing his own sister was harboring feelings for Karim. He told Karim about the crying and the promise of helping her avoid Karim so she could get over her feelings. Karim stands there with wide eyes and when Nico is finished with his explanation, he slaps Nico at the back of his head. Nico looks at Karim confused whilst rubbing the spot Karim just hit.

“I’ve been in love with her too! If I would have known I would have never agreed to you setting me up. Not that it matters because we already broke up, but still. How did you not notice it from either of us?! I know we didn’t notice, but you?!”

“Hang on, you love my sister back? And you’re also single again now?”

As Karim nods at Nico’s words, Nico immediately grabs Karim’s arm and pulls him to his car. In the car he calls Keven, explaining everything to him. Keven scolds Nico at first, for telling Karim everything, but since it’s all working out now, he’ll make sure their sister is home. Nico drives as fast and safely as he can. He feels the need to fix this, it’s his fault his sister has a broken heart when it’s not even necessary for her to have it because Karim loves her back. They arrive at Nico’s childhood home, where she still lives and both of them jump out of the car as fast as they can.

Nico tries to open the door fast, but before he can even put the key into the lock, the door opens. Keven is standing there and urging them to come inside.

“She’s been trying to leave the house for the past 10 minutes, she has plans with friends. What took you so long?? You know what nevermind, she’s in the living room.”

Nico looks at Karim, who ushers him forward because he knows she’ll react badly if she sees him first. So Nico heads into the living room first, only to find his sister in an incredibly bad mood, shooting daggers with her eyes at him. He immediately holds up his hands and her expression softens a bit. She was expecting Keven to come in and at the moment she doesn’t really like her eldest brother for keeping her home. Her eyes rake over Nico as she immediately spots that he’s nervous and yet she can’t seem to think of a reason why. But when she spots Karim behind him, she knows why he’s nervous and rightfully so. Her pissed off expression returns with more fire.

“What the fuck Nico! What is he doing here, I thought you were on my side.” She practically hisses her brother’s way. He looks a little lost for words, she’s never been this pissed at him before but then finds his words.

“Sorry not sorry, but I told him.” She eyes her brother suspiciously not sure what he means, although she can guess what it is that he couldn’t keep a secret.

“Told him what exactly?!”

Nico tries to make himself a bit smaller, pulling his head in as he prepares for her wrath. “I told Karim about how much you like him and …”

Nico doesn’t even get to finish his sentence before she hurls the couch cushions his way. He tries to avoid them as much as he can, even hitting away a few, only to have to run the second they stop because she’s running at him. As a footballer though he’s quite a bit faster than her and he outruns her around the kitchen table. As he runs back to the couch, she tries to catch him only to be held back by Karim. She tries to twist and turn out of his hold, she even tries to stomp his feet to get to Nico.

“It’s okay, I like you back. I like you back!”

He almost has to shout to get her attention because she’s hurling insults at Nico, but once it registers what he’s said, she freezes on the spot. The room is so silent you could hear a pin drop. She slowly turns her head to face Karim.

“Don’t even start. You have a girlfriend, there is not a single universe where you like me back.” She sounds incredibly sure about herself, but everyone can see she’s doubting her own words.

“I don’t have a girlfriend anymore. I dumped her because she wasn’t you. I’ve been crazy about you for years, it’s a miracle Nico never noticed, let alone you. And please don’t blame Nico, I cornered him. And without him telling me, we wouldn’t be here right now.”

She watches Karim’s eyes as he talks, trying to see a lie in there. She doesn’t find one, yet remains silent. It makes Karim nervous now too, has she gotten over him in the past few weeks, is what he wonders. His hold on her loosens a little and she immediately breaks free, making a break for Nico, who didn’t expect it. He closes his eyes and tries to turn from her, afraid of getting hit when he feels her hugging him instead. He opens one eye to make sure, he feels her tighten her grip and sees her hiding her face against his arm, which is protecting his chest. He pulls away so he can free his arms to wrap them around her.

“Like I said before Kleine Schwester; sorry not sorry.” She laughs a little at that before whispering a small thank you.

She turns back to Karim, who is standing there a little unsure. She walks up to him slowly and stands in front of him without touching him. She observes his reaction to her presence so close and concludes that he is trying not to lean towards her, to give her space. She looks him in the eyes before asking: “You’re 100% sure that you don’t have a girlfriend anymore?” He agrees with her straight away, only to be surprised when she puts her hands on his cheeks to pull him closer. She murmurs a soft ‘good’ before pressing her lips to his.

He immediately reciprocates and wraps his arms around her waist. They ignore the gagging sounds from both Nico and Keven. He pulls away first to catch his breath and press his forehead to hers.

“I have to correct myself, I think I do have a girlfriend.”

There are gasps behind them and her eyes widen in panic, afraid she’s just kissed a taken man. “You.” He whispers to her. She relaxes only to tense up again to hit his chest. He starts laughing at her reaction and tries to avoid the hits against his chest. When she calms down enough, she wraps her arms around his waist whilst his arms wrap around her shoulders. She presses a kiss to the corner of his mouth.

“I don’t think I ever agreed to be your girlfriend, Adeyemi.” This time it’s him that panics, but he sees the playful smirk on her face.

“Is that so? Well then it seems I need to ask you a question. Do you want to be my girlfriend?”

“I’d love nothing more.”

Kleine Schwester: Little sister

It's fame she's after - Julian Brandt ft. Kai Havertz

Pairing: Julian Brandt x female reader, (platonic) Kai Havertz x female reader

Warnings: Kai doesn't like reader (it'll turn out right though), rude comments, Julian gives a bit of an ultimatum, a bit of hurt, a bit of angst and a bit of fluff, Sophia is in here as well, badly translated German

Word count: 1681

Note: As always, English is not my first language. This one has been on my mind for a while. I thought it was a good idea and it turned out better than I thought. There is more interaction between the female reader and Kai, but she's in a relationship with Julian. Please do not publish and/or copy my work, reblogging is totally fine!

There are many things she loves about being Julian Brandts girlfriend. He’s thoughtful, kind, shows her he loves her multiple times a day and of course he’s incredibly handsome. She loves tracing the tattoos on his arm, adores spending time with his family and pulling pranks with his brothers. His friends love having her around and her friends love meeting up with Julian. But there is one friend of Jule’s that she doesn’t see eye to eye with at all. And unfortunately that happens to be Kai Havertz.

She met Kai for the first time during the World Cup. She and Julian hadn’t been dating long and because Kai lives in England, it was harder for him to meet up with them to meet her. She met Sophia in the stands and they hit it off immediately. She met Kai after the first match, the one they lost against Japan. Julian walked up to her first and she immediately wrapped her arms around his shoulders. He hadn’t played but was still quite upset. Kai had come up behind Jule and he passed them to get to Sophia. He had given her a look she didn’t appreciate a lot, but she brushed it off as him being upset with the game.

But when Jule introduced her, Kai barely even acknowledged her. He gave her one look and then went back to talking to other people. She had looked to Julian, who was just as surprised as she was. Julian went to talk to Kai about it whilst she went to stand with Sophia who didn’t understand her boyfriend’s behaviour either. It didn’t get much better after that. Anytime they were in the same room, she tried to talk to Kai. To get to know him or to see if there was anything she could do to get him to like her. She mostly did it for Julian, she hated the way he looked so defeated when she and Kai ended up in another argument. It just seems that Kai didn’t see the look on his best friend’s face or he didn’t care enough.

She doesn’t like Kai much, she thinks he is arrogant and egotistical for the way he is acting and that seeing them not getting along, is hurting Julian more than he wants to admit. She would honestly do anything for Julian and to see his best friend not even acknowledging the fact that this is hurting Julian, pisses her off. But when Jule tells her Kai is coming over that weekend, she holds back a groan. She makes the promise to herself that she’ll try one more time to get Kai to like her and then she’ll give up. She goes as far as to ask Sophia what Kai’s favourite meal is and which recipe Sophia uses to make it for him.

So when Kai and Sophia arrive, she’s working away in the kitchen. She goes to greet them, giving Sophia a hug and as she moves to Kai all he does is hold out his hand, not even looking at her. She shakes it softly, before moving back to the kitchen. Sophia follows her to help out, but she just makes Sophia sit down with a glass of wine and they talk. She asks Sophia if there is anything she did to make Kai not like her (like she does every time), but even Sophia doesn’t know what’s bothering Kai about her so much. She decides to give up on asking and finishes the food. They set the table and Sophia calls in the boys. Kai is the first one downstairs.

“Wow, this looks great Soof. How did you make it so fast?” “I didn’t Kai. I gave her the recipe a few days ago, she made it.” “Yeah right.”

Kai gives her a glance before sitting down. Julian walks in a little later and presses a kiss to his girlfriend's cheek. “Thank you for making dinner, liebe.”

When everyone sits down, they all plate some food before eating. What no one is expecting is for Kai to spit his food back onto his plate. “Well it’s clear you didn’t make it Soof. It doesn’t taste good at all.”

That was the last drop. She can’t help the little sob that leaves her lips before she quickly stands up and practically runs up the stairs. She runs all the way to the bathroom before locking herself in. She doesn’t hear the argument that’s going on downstairs over her own sobs.

“Was stimmt nicht mit dir?! Why would you say that? It tastes good. Why can’t you just accept her as my girlfriend? She’s tried everything to get you to like her and you just ignore her the whole time. Ich liebe sie so sehr. Why can’t you see that?!” Julian goes after her as Kai looks down.

Whilst Julian runs up the stairs, Kai turns to Sophia, only to find her looking at him in utter disappointment. “Was?” “She is doing everything to get you to like her. Why are you being like this? This isn’t you.”

“I just don’t want her to hurt Julian. She is clearly after his money. Why else would she choose to go public with him during the World Cup. If it’s not money, it’s fame she’s after.” Sophia heaves a big sigh.

“How do you have such a big board in front of your face? She didn’t want them to go public at the World Cup. Julian wanted to introduce her to you, but there wasn’t another time other than the world cup. Can’t you see the way they look at each other?! Bist du so blind?”

Sophia went to get another glass of wine as Kai thought over her words. He never thought of it that way. He always assumed she was the one that wanted to go public at the World Cup. He didn’t think she came with Julian just to meet him. He has to make this right. He moves to the stairs and he can hear Julian knocking on a door. He hears as Julian tries to get his girlfriend to open the door for him. He hears the sobs and the strangled ‘no’s’ that come from the other side of the door. When Julian spots Kai he gives an irritated sigh.

“Was machst du hier? Haven’t you done enough?”

“I have to make it right, Jule. Let me try, please?” It was more of a rhetorical question than an actual one, but Julian agrees with a little hesitance. Julian moves to get past Kai, but stops when he’s next to him. “If you screw this up even more, you better stay in London. I really love her Kai. Stop hurting the girl I love or our friendship is over.”

Kai gulps, but nods his head at Julian. Julian walks down the stairs whilst shaking his head. Once Julian is downstairs Kai turns to the door. He heaves a sigh and knocks on the bathroom door.

“Geh weg, Julian."

“I’m not Julian.”

He hears as she gasps a little when she hears his voice. He hears the door click and he opens it slowly. He sees her sitting against the bathtub, eyes red and tears streaming down her face. He moves to sit across from her. She doesn’t look at him as he sits, she rubs the sleeves of her shirt along her cheeks. He analyzes the way she’s sitting, but doesn’t make a move to say anything yet. Then he sees her fiddle with a J necklace. If she’s wearing that, there is no way she’s with him for fame or money.

“Es tut mir leid.” She looks up when he apologizes. “I thought you were in it for fame or money. I thought I was looking out for my best friend. I thought you were just gonna hurt him and I was wrong. I see now that you really love him. I’m sorry for all the times I hurt you by brushing you off. And the dinner you made is actually amazing, probably even better than Soofs. But please don’t tell her I said that.” They both laugh. “Friends?”

She looks at the hand he’s offering. “I forgive you, so yes. Friends.” He stands up and helps her off the floor as well. He opens his arms, giving her the option for a hug if she wants to. She smiles and hugs him. “I wouldn’t have let Julian end your friendship Kai. You two are platonic soulmates, I’d never want to be the cause of Bravertz breaking up.” That makes both of them laugh. He gives her another hug. They joke together as they walk downstairs, finally able to find the things they have in common. They see Julian on the couch with his head in his hands, with Sophia rubbing his back, when they finally notice the footsteps on the stairs and the laughter.

Julian looks up surprised as he sees them laughing together. He gets up as they walk into the living room. She sees the nervous look on his face and immediately moves to wrap her arms around his waist. His arms go around her shoulders and he looks up at Kai, who gives him a smile and a nod. Julian tightens his arms around her, pressing a few kisses to the top of her head. When she pulls away, she presses a kiss to Julian’s lips.

“Let me reheat the food and we can all eat.” “I’ll help.”

Julian’s and Sophia’s eyes almost pop out when Kai offers his help. As they move to the kitchen with the food, Julian and Sophia look at each other bewildered. How did their dynamic change that fast? Not that they’re complaining. It’s just a bit odd. It’s safe to say the rest of the evening went great. And after that night as well. They went on couple dates and Julian finally got to be more affectionate with his girlfriend without Kai acting all disgusted and glaring daggers. And her friendship with Kai? It only blossomed.

Liebe: love Was stimmt nicht mit dir?: What is wrong with you? Ich liebe sie so sehr: I love her so much Was?: What? Bist du so blind?: Are you that blind? Was machst du hier?: What are you doing here? Geh weg: Go away Es tut mir leid: I am sorry

Update

After yesterdays fic for Karim I got even more request and I am incredibly honoured. To me that means people like my writing and that is literally what I hope for. I mostly write for myself but always want to share it and to see the appreciation for it makes my day.

So in the meantime I was already writing 4 other fics, before I got some more in my inbox. I have another for Karim on the way, one for Julian Brandt with a lot of Kai Havertz and just another for Julian Brandt. Then there is another Jude one I'm working on. Once I've finished and posted those I will work on the requests.

So please do not think that I am ignoring them if I don't reply to them. They are in my inbox so I don't forget them and I will reply to them once I start working on them.

Just wanted to let you all know that! I hope you all have a wonderful evening/day!!

Endgame - Karim Adeyemi

Pairing: Karim Adeyemi x female reader

Warnings: talk about Nigerian foods (please correct me if I'm wrong), fluff, like very cute fluff, meeting the parents, badly translated German

Word count: 1946

Note: As always, English is not my first language. This one was requested and the request was: Could you write a fluff about meeting Karim's parents or teammates for the first time, and them absolutely loving you, just him being in awe of you My dear anon, I hope I did your request justice and that it is what you hoped for. Requests always make me a little nervous because I'm always afraid it won't be what you expected. This is purely fiction and I do not know Karim or his parents in real life. Please do not copy and/or publish my work, reblogging is totally fine!

To say she is nervous is an understatement and it is (according to her) for a good reason. She has been in a relationship with Karim Adeyemi for 7 months and they decided it is time to meet each other’s parents. He met her parents last week and today she was going to meet his mum and dad. They decided it would be a fun idea to invite them to Karim’s place instead of going to their house, but now she is doubting that decision. Especially since she promised Karim she’d take care of dinner and that it would be totally okay.

For the past week she’s been researching how to make traditional Nigerian dishes. Some of them she could skip because they were specifically made for things like marriage and that was definitely not the vibe she wanted to give off yet. She decided that fufu with Egusi soup would be her safest bet. She went to quite a few different stores to find all the ingredients and she made sure to get some extra things to make a salad and some things to make lasagna in case she screwed up or they didn’t like the food.

Karim would be gone for most of the day because of training and social media duties, so she had the house and the kitchen to herself. Early in the morning she decided to clean the house, well the last bits since they cleaned most of the house together in the past few days. After that she completely focussed on dinner. Karim didn’t even know she was going to make a traditional Nigerian dish, she kept it a secret in case it wouldn’t work out and she’d have to serve the lasagna that she prepared as well. It was ready to go in the oven in case it all turned out bad. This was not the case though. She read the recipe multiple times in the past few days and she generally knew how long some steps would take. Of course she still worked with the recipe, but it did help when it came to handling different steps and the time limits to them.

After a few hours in the kitchen and some hard work, everything was finally ready and right on time too. Karim would be home any second and his parents would arrive in an hour, giving her the time to shower and get ready. As she steps out of the shower, she can hear the front door opening and closing. She tries to quickly dry off and as she’s pulling on her underwear she hears footsteps on the stairs. A moment later Karim enters the bedroom, he takes a glance at her and immediately stops in his tracks. His eyes rake over her figure and he leans his shoulder against the doorframe whilst biting his lip.

She lets out a laugh. “What?”

“Nichts, ich bewundere dich.”

She can feel the blush taking over her face, so she turns to the wardrobe in order to look for a good outfit. She mumbles a thanks and a second later Karim approaches her. He took a shower at the training grounds, but is looking over her shoulder for a different outfit. He’s faster when it comes to choosing and has his outfit within a minute. Before he turns away after grabbing the outfit, he presses a kiss to her shoulder and suggests one of her favourite outfits.

“Isn’t that too casual. I want to make a good impression on your parents.”

“Mein Schatz, it’s not a fancy restaurant. We’re at home and you should wear something you’re comfortable in. My parents will love you, they’d love you even if you wore a garbage bag.”

She smiles at his reply, thanks him again and grabs the outfit he suggested. They dress in silence and take their time in the bathroom. Somehow she’s done before him and this time it is her turn to admire him. The outfit he chose looks incredible on him, he has his own style and she adores it. After he’s sprayed on his perfume, she steps in front of him and wraps her arms around his waist. His arms immediately wrap around her shoulders and she takes a moment to breathe in his scent. It helps to calm down the nerves she has, ever since they met, she’s felt most comfortable in his arms. She notices him taking in her scent as well before laying his head against hers.

They stay like that for a bit before he kisses her forehead and they pull away. She grabs his hand as they descend the stairs. They walk into the kitchen and she asks him if there’s something he would like to drink. She doesn’t get a response straight away and it makes her look at him. He’s standing in front of the stove where the dinner is ready to be heated. He’s lifted the lid of the stew and she can see his eyes are closed.

“Karim, are you okay?”

“Did you buy this somewhere?” She’s a bit offended that he’s asking that, especially since she spent a few hours making it.

“No, I made it. Why?”

His head snaps her way. His eyes are wide and he moves to grab a spoon. He puts a bit of the stew on the spoon and tastes a bit of the stew. He puts the spoon on the counter and looks at her in awe. She made this? She made a traditional Nigerian stew, she put in that much effort just because his parents are visiting. He quickly moves towards her and lifts her off the ground a little. He’s complimenting her left and right, whilst she’s barely registered what just happened. As he’s putting her down, the bell rings and they move towards the front door. As Karim goes to open the door, she quickly grabs his hand and squeezes it. He squeezes her hand back and opens the door.

Immediately his mum moves past Karim to get to her. She wraps her arms around her and expresses how excited she is to finally meet the girl that stole Karim’s heart. She hugs Alexandra back with a big smile, not having expected her to be so warm.

“Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to overstep any boundaries by hugging you. I hope it’s okay.” Immediately she assures Alexandra that it’s totally okay and they hug again, this time really introducing themselves to each other.

“Hi mum, how are you? Yes, I’m here as well.”

Karim’s sarcastic comments make them laugh as they release each other. Alexandra moves to him whilst calling him a big momma’s baby. He immediately protests only to be silenced by both his parents and his girlfriend. Abbey moves past Karim and Alexandra to introduce himself. He also gives her a hug. It’s just as warm as Alexandra’s, just a bit shorter. She invites them further into the house and they all sit on the couch. Karim asks around for drinks and she walks with him to turn on the stove to heat up the food and to help him bring the drinks to the living room.

As they sit down, Alexandra immediately starts a conversation with her and they get along incredibly well. They talk about jobs, football and going to watch some of Karim’s games together. Meanwhile Abbey adds some comments into their conversation here and there whilst Karim is just admiring his girlfriend and the dynamic between her and his parents. After a few minutes she moves to the kitchen to check on the food, leaving Karim alone with his parents.

“Is that Egusi soup I smell?” It’s his dad that asks first. As Karim confirms that it is in fact, Egusi soup, his mum is quick to add in her piece.

“She made it from scratch? She’s a keeper, Karim. I love her already, she’s not allowed to leave this family.”

Karim smiles at his mothers comments and agrees with her. He’s incredibly aware of how amazing his girlfriend is and he’s not willing to let her go, not ever.

She walks back into the living room not long after to announce that dinner is ready and they move to the dining area. She’s a bit nervous as she’s serving the food to his parents, more so when she realizes she’s never tried eating fufu before and that she’ll probably embarrass herself quite a bit. Karim notices though and is quick to help her out, which amuses his parents greatly. She made the dinner for them, yet doesn’t know how to eat it herself. They think it’s incredibly sweet.

The second they try it though, they are in awe. They immediately start complimenting her cooking skills and Abbey even asks her if she’s willing to give her secrets. Abbey is fully convinced that her Egusi soup is better than his own. It makes her blush and she is more than willing to share her recipe with him. Conversation really flows and they’re all having a great time. Karim can’t help but admire her, she’s literally everything he could ever hope for and more. After dessert he is fast to grab her hand under the table. He squeezes it softly and it makes her look at him and she mouths a ‘you okay’ his way and he just gives a small nod. It’s almost midnight when Alexandra and Abbey head home, promising to keep in contact and to meet up again soon.

Alexandra doesn’t leave without giving her an extra hug and softly thanking her. Both for the food and for making Karim happier than she’s ever seen him. She blushes and holds Alexandra a bit tighter and responds that he’s the best thing that has ever happened to her and she’d be crazy not to treat him like a King as he treats her like a Queen. Another smile is exchanged as Alexandra pulls away and they wave as Abbey drives himself and Alexandra home.

They are both tired as they clean up the mess and turn off the lights to head upstairs. They’re in their sleeping clothes getting ready for bed in the bathroom when Karim wraps his arms around her waist from behind. She looks at him through the mirror only to already find him looking at her straight in the eyes through the mirror. His eyes show some tiredness, but mostly she finds love and admiration. It makes her blush a little.

“I love you, I really really love you.” Karim’s whisper is soft and he immediately presses kisses to her right cheek after saying it. “You’re amazing and I can’t believe how well you get on with my parents. I knew they would love you but this had surpassed my wildest dreams. Ich liebe dich.”

They have said they love each other before but never as intensely as Karim has now. It makes her eyes water a little as she reciprocates his ‘I love you’ with her own. She turns around and puts her hands on his jaw. She presses kisses all over his face, repeating the same phrase over and over again. They share a soft but passionate kiss before heading to the bedroom. She gets under the covers as he turns off the light. He takes a small sprint to the bed and climbs in quickly. He wraps his arms around her and pulls her as close as he can. Their foreheads are touching as they breathe in sync. Both of their eyes are closed as they whisper another ‘I love you’ to each other. Both of them, incredibly aware that they’ve found their endgame.

Nichts, ich bewundere dich: Nothing, I'm admiring you Mein Schatz: my dear/treasure/darling

Domesticity - Marius Wolf

Pairing: Marius Wolf x female reader

Warnings: full of fluff honestly, google translated German, very very very domestic, hense the title

Word count: 1363

Note: As always, English is not my first language. I thought it was kind of criminal that I can't find much for Marius. I guess I really write most of my fics about the people (bees) that aren't incredibly popular. This is completely fictional. Please do not copy or publish my work, reblogging is fine!

She and Marius had been living together for a few months now. She moved in with him when they were together for six months, not wanting to spend a lot of nights without each other anymore. Of course there were the away games and boys/girls weekends, but those were the exceptions. Their one year anniversary is coming up and she realized that they haven’t deep cleaned the apartment since she moved in. She doubts it was deep cleaned by Marius before. Of course it was tidy and they cleaned the house weekly, but there are parts of the house they don’t really pay attention to.

So now that Marius is away for the game against Stuttgart, she decided it was time for a deep clean. Especially after last week, when Marius was ill and she took care of him. It can’t hurt to deep clean everything to get rid of the germs. So that’s why she’s now cleaning the kitchen, the last part of the house to clean. In the past few days, she started at the attic and worked her way down through the house. Of course she took some breaks and she even watched the game, only to be disappointed when Marius didn’t get any minutes and the game ended in a draw.

Marius comes back home today and she hopes to be done by the time he gets there. The music is loud and she’s completely focussed on cleaning, dancing and singing. Hence why she doesn’t hear the front door open and close or the way bags drop to the floor and him calling her name. When he doesn’t get a response, he decides to follow the music. And there she is, completely focussed on cleaning the countertop, swaying her hips to the music whilst she sings along. She doesn’t like to sing around him because she thinks her singing isn’t good enough, but sometimes, like today, she doesn’t notice he’s there. And he enjoys her voice more than anything.

So he watches and listens, not bothering to announce his arrival. He can’t help but think how beautiful she is. She’s wearing nothing special and yet she is the most beautiful girl in the world to him. When the song changes to a slower song, the pace of her cleaning slows down too. That’s when he decides to let her know he’s there. He comes up behind her slowly and softly, trying not to startle her, wrapping his arms around her waist. She startles a little but she relaxes when she sees the tattoos on his arms. She leans back into his hold and he presses a kiss to her temple.

“Hallo liebling, ich habe dich vermisst."

“I’ve missed you too. I’m sorry you didn’t get to play yesterday.”

He just shrugs and pulls her a little closer. She drops the rag she was using and puts her hands over his. They stand there for a while, just swaying to the music that still plays around the kitchen. When the song changes to a more upbeat song, he pulls away from her. Immediately a sound of discontent leaves her mouth, only to turn into a laugh when he turns her around and starts dancing with her. They dance together for a while, he spins her a few times before pulling her closer. She laughs in pure joy, throwing her head back and letting out a full belly laugh. She doesn’t see it, but the way he looks at her can only be described as loving and admiring. He laughs along with her, her joy contagious.

When her laugh stops, he pulls her close to his chest. Her arms wrap around his neck and their foreheads touch. Both of them close their eyes, taking in the moment and each other. They sway a little, but don’t even notice they’re out of beat with the music. All they can focus on is the feeling of holding each other. Without him noticing she sneaks her hand up to his bun. He only notices her hands are there once she starts undoing his bun, he doesn’t do anything to stop her though. She puts the band around her wrist before running her hands through his her. He leans into her a bit more as she plays with his hair. If she catches any knots, he doesn’t notice at all, with how gentle she’s being.

“Ich liebe dich.”

Her whisper is soft and she softly rubs her nose against his before leaning in to capture his lips with hers. The kiss is soft and slow, but shows all the love they feel for each other. Eventually they have to let go because they need to breathe. He reciprocates the phrase and presses a few kisses to her cheek. She smiles as he does so, tangling her fingers in his hair a little more. She pulls back a little to look at him, suggesting that she makes him some food. He agrees, but doesn’t leave her side for a second. She gets the ingredients she needs to make his favourite snack and once they’re all collected, he wraps his arms around her again. His chest against her back, whilst his chin touches her shoulder.

“I deep cleaned the house whilst you were gone.” He pulls away a little to look at the side of her face. She turns her head a little to look at him. “I realized we hadn’t done that since I moved in and after you were ill last week, I thought it was a good time.”

“Why didn’t you ask me liebling, I could have helped you.” She looks at him a little surprised, she didn’t think he’d be up for it. She presses a kiss to his cheek before returning to her task. “Thank you for cleaning the house, but next time let me help you.”

She nods her head at his request. He presses another kiss to her temple as she finishes up with his snack. She puts it on the counter and he takes a seat on one of the stools. As he eats, she makes him a drink and finishes cleaning the last bits of the kitchen. Every once in a while she passes Marius and presses a kiss against his cheek, showing him that she’s missed him and that she’s happy he’s back home. She moves out of the kitchen to put the rags she used in the washing machine and she immediately takes his bags to sort out the dirty laundry for him. He finishes the snack and immediately puts away the dishes before following her to the laundry room.

“You know you don’t have to sort my dirty laundry and football kit right?”

“I know, but I want to. You work very hard for the team, it’s the least I can do since I moved in. I still work too, but not as intensely as you do.”

He smiles at her and as she stands up, she tries to move past him to get to the laundry that needs to be folded. She doesn’t get that far though as he wraps her back up in his arms.

“Marius, let me go. I need to fold that last bit of laundry.”

“Let me do that, you go back to the kitchen and get us some drinks. Then you can look for a movie and once I’m done, we can watch it together.”

She smiles at him gratefully. He presses another kiss to her lips before they part ways. It doesn’t take long before both of them are snuggled up on the couch. Her head is resting right above his heart, the most comfortable place to lay down in her opinion. It’s comforting to listen to his heartbeat and knowing he’s right there with her. His hand is caressing her back and every once in a while he presses kisses to the crown of her head. It’s the way he shows his love for her, pressing kisses to different parts of her face. It’s his way to feel her warmth and where he finds comfort in her presence. Both of them wouldn’t want it any other way.

Hallo liebling, ich habe dich vermisst: hello darling, i've missed you

Ich liebe dich: I love you

Liebling: darling

This is it - Julian Brandt

Pairing: Julian Brandt x female Schlotterbeck reader, Nico Schlotterbeck x sister reader, Karim Adeyemi x ex-girlfriend reader

Warnings: fluff, nervousness, some awkwardness, bit of jealous Julian, hurting a little bit, Jule's yellow card

Word count: 1737

Note: As always, English is not my first language. This is the third part of my Julian series. Is this it? and This might be it are the first two parts. I don't know any of the players personally. This is completely fictional. Please do not copy or publish my work, reblogging is fine. (I also just have to mention how good Julian looks in this gif!!!)

The game against Leipzig is supposed to be an intense one and she just can’t sit still. It didn’t help that she is being watched by both of Julian’s brothers and Karim’s family. She doesn’t know what they are thinking, but she can only hope there won’t be a confrontation. Before the game she managed to share a look with Julian, she didn’t dare do more than smile at him. Both the eyes on her back and the way that Karim was beside Julian, made her a little nervous. She’s not sure Karim saw her and she shouldn’t care because she doesn’t love him anymore. And still it makes her nervous.

She jumps a little when just before kick off, someone sits beside her. When she looks to her right, she locks eyes with Karim. Since she didn’t really keep up with everything anymore, she missed that he was injured. She only noticed when he walked onto the field with Julian in his normal clothes. She looks away from him and shifts a little uneasily. He doesn’t say anything at first and honestly, she has no clue what to say to him either. She hasn’t seen him in months and the last time they talked, she broke up with him for cheating on her.

He doesn't say anything at first, he just looks her over. She knows he's trying to discover how she's feeling based on her body language. She's pretty sure he sees that she's nervous. But she doesn't respond to it and focuses on the game. Julian is running around the pitch with quite a bit of speed. Getting passes in through any opening he sees. It makes her proud that he's doing so well. But then someone else sits on her other side. Or should she say two people take to her left side. Julian's younger brothers have taken a seat on her left side. She's not sure why, she's never spoken to them before. But somehow she thinks that they're now sitting next to her for back up, just in case. So she smiles at both of the boys, who smile back at her warmly.

"So you've decided to get into football again?" It's more of a rhetorical question but she answers it anyway.

"I've always been into football. I've seen all of Nico's games."

"You know that's not what I mean. So, you and Brandt huh. How did that happen?"

"Not that it should matter to you, but I bumped into him a few weeks ago. We've been close ever since. I hadn't seen him in months since I cut everyone off after breaking up with you for cheating on me."

She knew she was being very straightforward and maybe even a little harsh. Karim flinched a little when she mentioned the break up. He purses his lips a little as he looks back at the field. And just then Julian scores a goal and it's a beautiful one at that. She immediately jumps up to cheer, his younger brothers cheering with her and even giving her a hug. But during the hug there is the announcement that the goal has been ruled out by VAR. But before she pulls away, Jannis whispers something in her ear.

"If you need us to help or intervene, just squeeze my arm a little and we'll help."

She softly thanks him and then pulls back to sit back down. Karim is watching her again, but he doesn't really say anything else. During the rest of the first half, Karim is silent and she doesn't make an effort to talk to him. She does talk to Jannis and Jascha though. During the first half Marco Reus is given a penalty, which he scores and soon after Emre Can makes a beautiful goal! When it's halftime, she sees Julian look up at her in the stands and he smiles. She smiles back but when he looks to the side, his smile leaves. She knows he sees Karim and she wishes she could just reassure him.

She gets up to use the restroom. Once there she also takes the time to take a deep breath. As she walks out, she finds Karim leaning against the wall opposite the restroom. She wants to walk away when he softly grabs her by the elbow. She halts in her steps, but doesn't do much else. She knows he wants her to turn around, but she doesn't until he asks her to. As she turns to him, she sees the almost sad look in his eyes.

"Does he make you happy?" She's a little confused as to why he's asking, but she confirms that Julian makes her happy.

He heaves a big sigh. "Then I won't intervene. I wanted to tell you for so long that I still love you, but I understand that I hurt you way too much and that Julian makes you happy. Would it be okay for us to be friends? Maybe not immediately but over time?"

She doesn't know why but she's a little surprised. She didn't think Karim loved her anymore, not after the cheating. But she sees how sorry he is and the pain in his eyes. So she agrees, she tells him that they won't go to immediate friends and that she's willing to give him time to get over her. They walk back to their seats, talking about the last few months. Jannis and Jascha give her a questioning look and she lets them know everything is okay. As the second half starts, they see a bit of change in Julian. He plays a bit more fiercely than the first half and that's proven when he gets a yellow card. Which is quite surprising because he usually doesn't get a card often. She's a little worried it has to do with her and Karim. She can confirm it when he looks their way right after the card.

Julian sees her worried looks, but doesn't take it as concern. He sees it as disappointment and drops his head down. He can't believe he let the emotions get to him, when he knows she'd never take Karim back. He tries to play like he did in the first half, tries to score again, but it isn't working in his favour. In the 74th minute they concede a goal and Julian is cursing the way he plays. And about 10 minutes later he is subbed off. He doesn't even dare look up at the stands.

She keeps glancing at the bench and the field. Nico is still on the field defending and he's definitely saved the team with his shoulder. But she worries about Julian. Karim had gone to stand a bit closer to the field and that way she could finally introduce herself formally to Jannis and Jascha. But Karim isn’t that far away so she definitely hears Karim's scream of 'FÜNF' when he hears the amount of added time. It makes her laugh for sure, but doesn't completely take away her worries.

"Will he be okay?" She asks Jannis the question that's been plaguing her mind.

"He'll be fine. I'm sure he's worried about you, like you are about him.”

Jannis’ words comforted her a little. When the final whistle sounded, she saw Julian get back on the field to thank the fans for the support. In the meantime she decided to head to the tunnel to meet him there once he gets off the field. After a few minutes a few players come down the tunnel. Nico is one of them and she immediately congratulates him. He gives her a hug and a kiss on the forehead before heading to the changing room. It took Julian a little longer to walk down the tunnel. It takes him a minute to spot her and when he does, he grimaces. She doesn’t know why that is, but she approaches him anyway. She goes to wrap her arms around his neck, but he dodges her hug. She immediately intertwines her fingers and pulls her arms closer to her. She knows she can’t hide the hurt look on her face and when he looks at her face he notices. His face drops when he sees it and he immediately goes to wrap his arms around her waist, but this time she steps back.

“I’m sorry. I’m ashamed. My goal didn’t count and then I saw you with Karim and jealousy completely took over and then I got that yellow in the second half and continued to play bad whilst you were here for me. And now I’m already hurting you and you haven’t even been my girlfriend for 24 hours.”

Julian goes to continue his rambling when she goes to wrap her arms around his neck again. He immediately stops talking and wraps his arms around her waist, pulling her as close to him as he can. She kisses his cheek and runs her hand through the strands of his hair. They’re a little damp with sweat still, but she doesn’t care at all. All she wants to do is comfort him and show him that it’s alright. She clings to him just as much as he does to her.

“It’s okay. Everything between Karim and I is settled and there is absolutely nothing you have to worry about. You were brilliant today, it doesn’t matter if your goal counted or if you got a yellow card and didn’t play as well anymore. I’m yours and hopefully I’ll be yours for a long long time.”

Julian pulls back a little, but he still has a tight hold on her waist. His eyes rake over her face and he sees no lies in them, just admiration. He puts his forehead on hers and she puts one of her hands on his jaw, the other still around his shoulders. She leans up slowly and presses a soft kiss to his lips. It’s their first kiss and honestly, it’s everything they both hoped for. They don’t notice anything but each other. They only pull away once they hear a lot of whistling. When Julian looks over her shoulder and she looks back, they find Nico, Jannis and Jascha laughing at them whilst whistling. Even Karim joins in. She turns back to Julian and presses another kiss on his lips. This is it, everything they both hoped for and probably more.
