"I don't think Roy agrees with anything he doesn't actually want to agree to," Jamie points out, just barely resisting the urge to roll onto his stomach to tan his back - he hasn't spent enough time laying on his back yet, and restless as he may be, he wants his tan to be even. It's rare that they get this much sun in London, and Jamie wants to take full advantage of it while he can. "Princess," he adds on, just barely biting back a cheeky smirk.
Keeley's hand takes his and he opens his eyes, looking over at her, now unable to bite back a fond, affectionate smile. He gives her hand a squeeze, then closes his eyes again, tilting his face back towards the sun. "Pretty sure that's not how it works, either." Jamie's got great tits - for a man. That doesn't make him believe he'd be a big dog. He thinks he'd be one of those perfectly medium sized dogs. Just like how he's not too tall and not too short, he'd be not too big and not too small. The perfect attacking midfielder's height. "Oh, fuck yes, I'd fucking love that." It would be the perfect organisation to set him up with. Helping to get dogs adopted into their forever homes? It sounds exactly fit to him. "Whatever they need me t'do, I'd do it."
Tumblr media
" what part of i'm the princess don't you get? " keeley tries to firm it, tries to keep her face solemn and serious, but it breaks and she's soon chuckling again, standing up to push her sun lounger closer to his, almost like a nice big double bed outside, " he'll listen to you, but he'll agree with me. " even just to sate her, she reckons.
brushing her hands down her front, she looks down a moment, pulling her tshirt at the back, tightening it over her chest, " nah, my rack makes me the biggest dog goin', babe. " keeley settles beside him, reaching to take hold of his hand, fingers lacing with his, " i'll be whatever one you think i am, you know them better than me anyway. you know we should fuckin' set you up with dog's trust, shouldn't we? that'd be fucking brill. jamie tartt, youth work leader, lover of dogs. like a sexy paul o'grady. "

"Yeah, I do, but I also work at a bar," Jamie points out. Sure, he mostly keeps his arse parked behind the bar, leaving the drinks and food delivery to the waiters, but he knows how to carry a tray should the necessity arise. He's a man of many talents. Could probably pass as a footballer if he tried [ though not as somebody in the Prem. Some League One fuck who'll never have the skills to make it big ]. He knows his ability to wear many hats is what makes him as valuable as he is to people like Jon. He can carry a tray just as well as he can crack a safe just as well as he can charm just about anyone into telling him just about anything. Despite his attempt to get out of this game years ago, he's a fucking god at it and he knows it.
The threat is enough to catch Jamie's attention. If so many people do know about them, he'll ask around between now and the job. There are plenty of dodgy fucks he knows in this city, but there are less people he'd like knowing that he's getting back into those waters. Better to keep himself safe than to get himself killed because he asked questions of someone he doesn't fully trust. "I'm just askin' 'cause I don't want the whole fuckin' city t'know I'm back in. How many people know you're here talkin' t'me today?"
" your arms look like you spend a fuck ton of time in the gym, makes you fit, doesn't always mean you've got the coordination skills to carry a tray, but that's a relief. " he's cheeky and he knows he is, knows he pushes people but he won't change himself; sometimes it worked in his favour, after all! drumming his fingertips on the tabletop in an idle manner, keen eyes watching jamie inspect the photo, jon just hopes that this fit bartender was truly worth the money and that he would live up to the expectations he's long since formed in his mind. only time will tell now.
this is all a reminder of why usually they never hire out of house -- the endless back and forth, the constant reassurance, " you'll trust me because everyone else in fucking london has heard of our lot, yeah? you ask any of your more dodgy mates an' they'll tell ya'. mazur's don't fuck about -- though, if you try fuckin' us over, my dad might just take you out back if you get what i mean, eh? " he chuckles, waves a hand and reclines, " what else do you want, then? what sort of reassurance? "

Fan interactions tend to make Jamie's day. Growing up as avid a football fan as he was, he can understand when people's eyes light up at the sight of him. Surely, if he hadn't made it through the academy system [ as many boys don't ] and had never become a professional footballer, his eyes would do the very same thing at the sight of a Chelsea star. Therefore, it feels like an honour to greet a fan who clearly admires him the way he admired Roy growing up. "Yeah, hi, mate," he greets, moving closer and offering his hand to shake. "Good t'meet you, too." He's just about always out and about, if not on Roy-related training duties, then on his own; better to be out in public than cooped up alone in his massive fucking house, isn't it. "What's your name, then?"
Tumblr media Tumblr media
❛❛  wow!  you're jamie tartt!  ❜❜  i don't normally get star - struck, but being a fan of football  ...  how could i not?  i'm visiting the u.k.  ——  seeing joong-yeop, taking a much - needed vacation, and there's one of the stars of afc richmond!  i smile, broad and bright, before inclining my head in a half - bow.  ❛❛  it's a pleasure seeing you!  i didn't expect to run into someone like you!  ❜❜  a laugh escapes, airy and kind.

“ what if i can't make it right? ”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
That's a question that haunts Jamie at night sometimes. What if everything he's done - and all of the mistakes he'll surely make in the future - makes him irredeemable. What if he's not a good person? What if he'll never be a good person? What if he's more of his father's son than his mother's? "You've still got to try." That's Jamie's answer, his belief. Even if he is past the point of no return, even if he is more bad than he is good, he still has to try. "Which's fucking terrifying, I know it is, but... in the end, saying you've tried and failed is better'n saying you haven't tried at all."

how long have you known?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It's a valid question, to be fair. He's quite good at keeping things to himself when he thinks he ought to. Though Jamie's not sure how Roy'll take it if he finds out the truth - Jamie's known since the start [ because he's a fucking genius ]. He tilts his head forward, purses his lips up, raises his brows as he tries to figure out what Roy's response might be. It's less than ten seconds before Jamie makes his mind up; he's a shit liar, and lying to Roy would probably be worse than telling him the full truth. "Since the start."

Jamie's got no fucking idea what lacrosse is. He's an ocean of knowledge when it comes to football, he can keep up with conversations about rugby and manage a talk or two about cricket, but he's never heard of lacrosse. Shows how cultured he is. "Running's nice," he confirms - something he can actually talk about, given how much he does both at work and when Roy's working him in the mornings. "How far back d'you want me t'go, then?" he asks, shifting to face Alex, tossing his phone aside, the pizza out of his mind. "My best friend from childhood's in law school, too. Says it's fucking hard." That's not the point. They're talking football, and Jamie's just about been given full permission to indulge in explaining his passions. "I mean about Kent - d'you want me to start at the beginning, or just... y'know, the big stuff?"
Tumblr media
❛❛  uh,  not  really  my  area  of  expertise?  ❜❜      god  he  was  lacking  badly.      ❛❛  lacrosse.  ❜❜      he  pointed  a  finger  into  the  middle  of  his  own  chest.      ❛❛  and  a  shit  ton  of  running  but  i  don't  do  that  stuff  professionally.  ❜❜      he  ran  to  workout,  or  as  his  sister  would  say:  he  ran  to  avoid.  (  which  he  would  argue  but  he  couldn't  )      ❛❛  you're  going  to  play  teacher?  can't  wait  to  hear  this.  wait,  do  i  need  to  take  notes?  i  didn't  get  into  law  school  for  nothing,  i  can  take  some  of  the  best  fucking  notes.  ❜❜

❛ you’re lucky you got away with only a scratch. ❜
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It's really not a big deal, if you ask Jamie. He's seen friends, teammates, loved ones be put in much worse situations. What could've been a direct boot to the head, studs first, ended up just being getting a massive fucking scratch down his leg. There'll be bruises in the shape of the Brighton defender's studs for days, but he's fine, he let the trainers walk him off the pitch, jogged it off on the touchline, and then got back on the pitch after the mandated thirty seconds out. Now, as he looks at Roy, hears him out, it's almost endearing; the man who was a fucking menace to the league for decades being this concerned about him after taking a tackle not unlike the dozens Roy'd doled out himself. "I'm fine," he insists, turning and hiking up his Richmond joggers so Roy can see the bruises better. They'd be pretty fucking sick looking, honestly, if he ignored the way he'd obtained the six vertical bruises going from knee to ankle. "Doc wouldn't've let me play out the rest of the game if I weren't fine, yeah? Y'trust him?"

"Erm, no," Jamie responds, sarcasm heavy in his voice as if it's incredibly obvious that he's not about to do that. He's far more confused than he is grateful, and he's not the sort to lather praise and gratitude onto someone he barely knows for doing something he doesn't understand. "What the fuck was that?" he asks, gesturing forward. It's obvious what he's talking about without any further details. He came away unscathed, for the most part, solely because this fucking prick put himself between Jamie and... whatever the fuck that was. "Seriously. Am I dreaming? Is this a bad movie? Can I wake up now?"
‘ we’re not done here. ’
his lips quirk without meaning to, amusement tracing along the hardened lines of his face. to the footballer's credit, flynn stops, head tilting to look back at him from over his shoulder. " guess you're right. this is the part where people usually say thank you, " the hunter begins, hand rising to wipe beads of sweat off his forehead, the barest of winces escaping when his fingers snag a new cut from the encounter not long ago. " but i doubt that's what you wanted to say. . . am i right, tough guy? "

"I mean, I've got my legs," he answers as if it's the simplest thing in the world. If he's out and his phone dies, he can walk home. After all that time spent walking from City Centre to his estate, and all of the training he and Roy have put in in regards to cardio and endurance, he can handle a little bit of walking. "And the tube." He's really not worried about being stranded anywhere with a dead phone. Worst case scenario, he's Jamie fucking Tartt – half of the people in this country would let him use their phones to make quick calls to anyone, and Jamie's got Roy and Keeley's numbers memorised [ though he won't admit that out loud to them unprompted; he may be shit at maths, but he's great with numbers ]. "Keeley, babe, I get why you'd be worried for your safety and allat, but..." He shakes his head, lips pursing up. "I'm not all... tiny and stuff." In some awful scenario he doesn't really want to think about, Jamie can handle being hit, he could probably get himself out of a fight if he tried. Sure, he's only thrown one punch in his life, and he can't remember how effective it was, but he figures he could do it again. 
His lips purse up in thought as she suggests dance classes. Would those be against his contract? Could he do one without indulging in something that would hurt his fitness or whatever the fuck the contract says? "Roy's not gonna agree t'doin' allat," he starts. "Can you fucking imagine, though? Him all... with his shit knee, all... grumpy and shit in some dance class?" The thought in his mind is making him laugh. "You'd have t'ask him if I'm allowed t'do that, though. 'Cause, like, I'm pretty sure there's some sort of noncompete stuff about how I can't do anything but footy for the club, y'know? Even the youth group stuff might be pushing it, but I think they don't really care about that, 'cause charity's good. Is the dance class for charity? That might work."
Tumblr media
the spin does make her giggle, legs locking a little tighter around him as he sends her world all blurry for a second, stomach giddy, " jamie! " keeley chides, unseriously. shaking her head, she rests her chin against his shoulder and huffs gently, " you do need one, an' i'm going to get you one and you'll take it out 'cause what if your phone died when you were out on your own? how're you callin' me or roy or an uber or anything? huh? it's for safety! " thought she'd understand the bag space worry - for her it was no big deal; her bag was always stuffed full to the brim with just in case items. paracetamol, ibuprofen, pads, tampons, lighters, pens, fifteen hair ties, dry shampoo, a stain pen and.. a whole lot more, rattling about in there. a portable charger was just another addition, one she barely registered.
" it is fun. " her agreement is said with a sigh, nodding and glancing at the screen to watch as their uber driver gets closer and closer, " it is fucking fun. i love dancing. especially love dancing with you. " and roy, though she suspects he save his best moves for those infamous nights with his yoga group in soho, " maybe we should do one of those fucking dance classes some day. the salsa ones. or like.. they do jive and all that shit. be like we're on strictly! i could find us somewhere. maybe somewhere that does three person dances! wouldn't that be fun? "

The growl only prompts Jamie to tug Jon's hair again; he has to bite back the urge to smirk with satisfaction at the noise. He knows it's both pleasure and irritation, knows exactly how to push Jon's buttons after going on two years with him. "I am normal eager," he insists, kissing Jon's head when he dips down to mouth at his neck. The touches to his thighs are perfectly enjoyable for him; he flexes them just to give Jon a taste of his strength there. "Pup knows you're gonna give in..." he responds, grinding against Jon lazily, moving his hands up Jon's chest, over his shoulders, down to squeeze his biceps. "Nah..." he responds, though he knows that Jon's right; the longer he holds off, the more desperate Jamie's going to get, especially with the way he's groping him right now. "Could get up'n go home right now, actually... we don't need t'do owt tonight... you're the one desperate t'see me all dressed up, or else y'wouldn't've given in t'me at the first whine."
Tumblr media
in fucking america.. now there's a thought that haunts him with every day it creeps nearer. he can't believe he's going to spend his last world cup in fucking america, but that was the way the cookie crumbled and he's confident he'll enjoy it regardless, especially because by the end of it he'll be holding that trophy aloft.
the tug draws a soft growl from jon's lips, a little rumble of both enjoyment and annoyance, " yeah, yeah, normal eager, fuck off. " his words soften, tipping his head down to press his lips to jamie's pulse point, hands still stroking his thighs indulgently. " does it now? pup thinks he's calling the shots here? " a brow quirks, really quite amused with jamie's seldom-wavering battishness, " think i'll tease you a little while more, gorgeous. it's fuckin' brilliant entertainment for me, can't lie. knowing how desperate you're goin' to be pretty soon. how much you want to show it off for daddy. fuckin' beautiful. " his hand gropes jamie's arse, squeezing lightly as his hand rears to smack against it, kneading under his large paw, " aren't you, eh? "

Jamie's upbringing is a contradiction; he's a council estate boy through and through, someone who knows what it's like living from payday to payday, a boy who ate whatever he was given because a meal's a meal. He's also a boy who went to a day school with a fucking astounding tuition rate since he was nine when City picked him up. Now, he's a multimillionaire, earning thousands of pounds a week, but he'll never, ever forget where he comes from. Wealthy people will always remind him of being an outsider, of being someone who never fits in in his current tax bracket because of his thick Manc accent and the way he treats his bank account [ like it's endless, something he can distribute among his loved ones, because fuck it, it is; he's getting £300k a week for being as good as he is at what he does ]. That is what he brings to conversations, and that is the reason he may be wary around people who seem to be the sort that would look down on him when he was nine, twelve, fourteen at his posh fucking school.
Tumblr media
"Don't know," he responds immediately; Jamie isn't the sort to keep his mouth shut when people pose questions to him. Even if they're rhetorical, he will be answering. He loves hearing his own voice. "Wouldn't've asked if I knew, would I?" Straightening his spine as the other leans in towards him - fucking tall prick - Tartt's head tilts to the side, doglike. "Sure I can." That's not necessarily a lie. He can, it's just a matter of whether or not he will. "Go on, then, let's hear it."
farleigh always had a particular way of holding himself, an arrogant air coming natural to, one that screamed old money to those who could recognize it. but maybe he was just projecting, wearing it a invisible armor of defense in order to convince himself of his own footing — but that much he'd never let on to. eyes look up from his phone and over to the person who's speaking to him, dark hues shifting over the other's frame, clearly taking in the sight before a smile slowly snakes his way across his lips.
Tumblr media
❛❛ i don't know. what do you think i'm doing? ❜❜ he poses the question, twisting the focus back upon the other. he can't help but be curious as to what's going through the other's head in the silence that seems to be building between them now, and he smirks, amused by it. that is, before he gives in a little more to, letting out a soft sigh as he leans in closer to the other. ❛❛ — can you keep a secret if i tell you? ❜❜
