Joao sat on the kitchen counter, flipping a coin absentmindedly as you were on the floor, legs crossed, sorting through a pile of old photos you had dug out during a lazy afternoon.
‘Look at this one,’ you said, holding up a photo of them at a carnival. Your laugh was light and carefree, and Joao couldn’t help but smile.
‘I remember that,’ he said, hopping off the counter to join you on the floor. He plucked the photo from your hand and studied it. ‘You made me win you that giant teddy bear, and it didn’t even fit in the car.’
You grinned. ‘That wasn’t my fault. You’re the one who refused to stop playing until you won it.’
He leaned back, bracing his arms behind him. ‘I wanted you to be happy.’
‘You always do,’ you said softly, glancing over at him. Your expression shifted into something more tender, like she was seeing him for the first time again.
Joao tilted his head, a small crease forming between his brows. ‘What?’
‘Nothing.’ you smiled, shaking her head as you turned your attention back to the photos. ‘You just… you make me feel lucky.’
His hand brushed against yours as he grabbed another picture. ‘Lucky? You’re the one who changed my life.’
‘Come on,’ you teased, rolling her eyes. ‘You were already João Félix. You didn’t need me.’
‘Maybe not for football,’ he admitted, his voice dropping slightly, ‘but for everything else? Yeah, I did.’
Your laughter softened, and you shifted closer to him, leaning your head against his shoulder.
‘I’d still choose this,’ Joao said suddenly, breaking the silence.
‘Choose what?’
‘This,’ he said, motioning to the clutter of photos, the warm hum of music, the way they fit perfectly together even in the simplest of moments. ‘Us. No matter what, I’d choose this over everything.’
Your heart swelled as you looked up at him. ‘I’d choose this too,’ you whispered.
For a moment, the world outside didn’t matter; no cameras, no stadiums, no noise. Just the two of you, sitting on the floor, lost in memories and each other. Joao reached for your hand, threading his fingers through yours as the music faded into the background.
‘Looks like we’ve already won,’ you said with a playful nudge, and Joao laughed, kissing the top of your head.
‘Yeah,’ he agreed, ‘we did.’
hi you’re a freak
hi guys! i js wanted to come and apologise for how long these fics are taking me and ik people can get impatient! and this is also the reason why i keep my fics around 1k solely bc im a gcse student who also needs to do revision. brainstorming, revising, drafting and writing fics is all very time consuming and for some 20+ requests aren’t a lot but for me it is! i love and appreciate every request i get because yall can be so creative! but especially with the longer ones they can take a lot longer. i’m ofc not gonna close my requests but i’m putting it out here that mine will take a lot longer! xx

Barcelona lost the match against Atletico Madrid at Camp Nou, three to zero. Today everything went wrong.
You sighed sadly, getting up from the chair with the rest of your friends. You headed for the exit, but when you thought about the traffic jams, the Coca-Cola you drank during the match filled your bladder.
“I'll join you, I'll just hop into the bathroom” you said to your friend and she nodded.
You slipped past the security guard unnoticed, looking for the toilet, and as soon as you found it, you were distracted by strange noises.
Curiosity got the better of you and you forgot about your needs and headed towards the noise.
You peeked your head slightly from behind the wall, and the sight you saw surprised and worried you at the same time.
Gavi had his face in his hands after kicking the nearby bench, and his knuckles were red from hitting the brick wall.
He leaned his back against the wall, sitting on the cold floor, trying to catch his breath. He was furious that they lost. He felt that he had let down the fans and himself, that he could have done something more, but it didn't happen.
You walked up to him with gentle steps and said:
"Hey, are you okay?" you asked and he started in fear at the sudden voice, widening his eyes at you.
You crouched down in front of him, not wanting to scare him any more. You could tell by his current behavior that he was having a panic attack.
His breathing was rapid and uneven, he was sweating profusely, and his eyesight was unfocused. He looked around anxiously and moved his leg, holding his heart with one hand, which was probably racing.
You grabbed his hand with one hand and cupped his face with the other, trying to figure out how to help him.
"Gavi, look at me. Inhale and exhale, you're safe here" you said, rubbing his injured knuckles and his cheek.
You knew he heard you, but it was hard for him to do what you said. He looked at you with eyes full of help, his breath wheezing.
There was only one solution in your head, the one you saw in one of the TV series, so without waiting any longer, you kissed the boy to divert his thoughts.
You were able to feel his surprise during that brief moment, but you were even more so when he kissed you back.
His lips tasted sweet and were soft to the touch, your lips moving in sync as if they were the missing piece of a puzzle. He squeezed your hand. His heartbeat slowly returned to normal and his restless breathing calmed down.
You broke away from him with a slight blush of embarrassment and you could see the same on his cheeks.
"I'm sorry, I probably shouldn't do this, but I wanted to help you somehow, divert your thoughts somehow" you said awkwardly in one breath.
“You have nothing to apologize for” he laughed softly, his voice low and making you shiver. “You helped me, so thank you” he added, and you gave him a bashful smile. "Just, how did you come up with the idea that this would help?" he asked and you giggled awkwardly.
“In one show, a girl kissed a guy when he was having a panic attack and it helped him, that's all I could think of” you scratched your head, looking at the floor, you heard his soft chuckle.
“Well, it worked” you looked back at him, he was smiling softly, looking at you softly.
You both laughed at the situation, relaxing the atmosphere and it turned into a comfortable one.
“I'm sorry again” you said, feeling unsure.
“You really have nothing to apologize for, you helped me” he explained, taking your hands in his warm ones. “Besides, I liked it” he added more quietly, making you blush.
He scanned you with his eyes and a shiver ran down your spine as his eyes landed on your Barcelona shirt.
“Great shirt” he blurted out with a smile. "With whom?" he asked, referring to the name on the back of the shirt.
"What do you think?" you asked flirtatiously and he gave you a sly smirk.
"With me?" he asked also flirtatiously.
You brushed your hair to the side, then turned your back to him for a moment, revealing a T-shirt with the number "6" and a large "GAVI" written on it. When you turned back around, he had a huge smile on his face and was looking at you with a mysterious twinkle in his eye.
"What's your name?" he asked suddenly.
“Y/N” you announced.
“So Y/N” he started. "Since we've already gotten to know each other to some extent, can I invite you for coffee?" he finished with an uncertain smile.
Blushing, you gave him a wide smile.
"With pleasure".

“João!” You called with a hoarse to your boyfriend from the bedroom. Footsteps were heard coming up the stairs to your bedroom, as João opened the door. “What do you need? Soup? More medicine? Wat~” You cut him off simply with his name, “João.” His concerned expression turned into a soft and gentle one as you said his name. Even when sick you still made him feel loved. “Yes?” He responded with the same, gentle tone you had gave him. “Cuddles?” Your voice was sore and hoarse as you spoke, but still soft.
He smiled and nodded, walking over to the bed where you laid, sick and exhausted. He laid next to you, holding you close to him while kissing your head softly. “Do you feel a little better than earlier?” He asked in a whisper voice. You nodded, snuggling into him even more while your eyes closed and you started to drift off into a deep slumber. João smiled at your tiredness and held you closer while saying, “Sweet dreams, amore. I’ll be here when you wake up…” João fell asleep not much later, still holding you impossibly close.
A few hours later, João woke up to the sound of his phone ringing. He looked towards the windows, seeing the sun setting. He groans and reaches for his phone, ‘Enzo Maresca’ it read - João’s coach. “Hey, what’s up?” João spoke softly, trying not to wake you. Enzo spoke, “Your going to be starting as forward for tomorrow’s game.” João’s eyes lit up, “Awesome!” He said, looking down at you he spoke once more, “I have to go for now.” Enzo paused for a moment before saying “Alright; see you tomorrow, Felix.” João hung up, grinning while playing with a strand of your hair. You stirred awake, smiling up at João, “What happened?” You asked, your voice still hoarse but better. He kissed your head while saying, “I’m starting a forward tomorrow..” You smiled even more, “That’s my baby” He chuckled, pulling you closer. “I love suck days…” You looked at him confused, “Why?” You say. He kisses you softly and muttering in between kisses, “Because I can be with you.”

Warnings- FLUFF, Christmas love, puppy lovers only
“João! Wake up!” You yelled, jumping up and down on yours and your boyfriend’s shared bed. “Huh? Wha-“ Before he could finish his sentence, you kissed him. “Morning, baby. It’s Christmas.” He smiled and nodded “I have something for you… I think you’ll like.” Your smile widens to a grin, jumping off of the bed, “Lead the way!” He chuckled and got out of bed, throwing a shirt on and fixing his hair. “Let’s go.” He grabbed your hand, leading you through the silent house into the living room. “See that box?” There was a big box with a big, red bow. “Yeah?” He smiled and nudged you towards the tree, “Open it.” You giggled and walked over to the tree, looking back at João before crouching down and slowly unwrapping the bow around the box. You slowly lifted the lid, revealing a golden, small figure. It jumped out of the box, that’s when you realized- “IT’S A PUPPY!” He laughed and nodded, smiling so bright and sitting on the couch. “João! You got me a puppy?!” You exclaimed, petting the puppy on your lap. “A golden retriever.” He said, sitting on the floor next to you, “You like it?” You nodded in response, kissing his cheek. “Your too sweet.” He chuckled and brushed some hair out of your face, “Only for you, amore.” He sighed, placing a kiss on your forehead. “I love you.” You said, holding his face. “I love you too. You make Christmas so much more better.” And that was THE best Christmas that you two ever had. You, João, and your new baby.

pairing: joao felix x reader
warnings: angsty
preface: your ex bf is famous af and he forgot about u from the fame, or so u thought
i will love you till the end of time, i would wait a million years. promise you’ll remember that you’re mine. baby can you see through the tears?
when joão got transferred to chelsea you guys have been dating for a year but it was getting quite serious. he was shown as the new young left winger from portugal. he got his fame from being on chelsea but you knew him when he first joined benfica. you have been knowing him since you were a child so you know everything about him. his pet peeves, his favourite songs, his little quirks and that’s what he liked about you.
you were attentive and loving, you both always had a connection since you were both teenagers. the connection quickly turned to dust when he stopped being attentive to you. he would have events and he stopped inviting you, he stopped inviting you to games, he just ghosted you overall. his mom often calls you to see if you guys have spoken but you secretly hated it. he was your first love, your first body, your first kiss. you were shattered when you realized he wasn’t putting in his all anymore so it was safe to say you guys were done, you deletes his number, unfollowed him on instagram, blocked him on snapchat, deleted anything of him on your phone, you even stopped watching football.
you were back home in portugal for the summer and you were staying again your familys villa, not a single thought in your brain except for seeing your new boyfriend. your new boyfriend was caring and great to you, helped you get over joão. you know your mother was inviting some family friends over and you know it was going to be the félix family but joão stopped attending family functions all together because he was “too busy”. you got out of the shower and you were changing into your pjs so you could do your makeup and you heard the front door open, you assumed it was your boyfriend until you heard a familiar loud voice. your stomach dropped and you started breathing heavily, you haven’t seen him since he’s joined barcelona and it’s now the middle of august.
you gave yourself a pep talk and reminded yourself that he means nothing now and your boyfriend is on the way now. you called your boyfriend to see where he is and he picked up on the last couple of rings. “hey y/n baby, i’m sorry but i don’t think i’ll be able to make it tonight. work is just a lot right now” he says, your stomach dropped yet again. “okay baby. i love you” you say swallowing your panic. you got ready and just tried to go on about your day.
you looked gorgeous. you lost weight, done your hair differently, you were barely wearing makeup. you were wearing a beautiful short summer dress with your perfect manicured hands and toes. joão loved how feminine you were. you walked downstairs of the villa and everyone’s eyes were on you. mrs félix ran up to you and gave you a big kiss on your cheek, you smiled as you hugged everyone, except joão. you just gave him a friendly wave as he looked at you in awe.
you went through the dinner with funny stories of your younger self as well as joão, before you would’ve been missing him but now you feel nothing. “eu vou ao banheiro” (i’m going to the bathroom) everyone nods as you get up, your heels clicking on the ground as you make your way to the bathroom. “wow she’s beautiful..” joão’s mother said to your parents, she turns her head towards her son “why would you do that.. she’s perfect joão”
“não sei..” (i don’t know) “vá falar com ela” his mother whispers to him. joão gets up, making his way to the home he has spent multiple nights over as a child.. multiple family pictures including a photo of you and joão, he sighed and smiled to himself as he takes a photo of it, he hears a familiar clicking, he looks to his left to see you walking toward him, not even looking at him. joão’s heart ached as you walked by him without even looking at him. “y/n.. please..” he says, you stop in your tracks, but continue walking. he walks up to you and turns you around to face him, the teary eyed boy looks at you, he noticed your gaze wasn’t the same as before, it was a cold different gaze. broken, “why did you do that..” you said with no expression on your face. “i’m sorry..”
“but you aren’t.”
he looked defeated to say the least. “if you were sorry you wouldn’t have done what you did, you fell out of love with me, and it’s okay. i’ve accepted it. but the reason why you were okay with it at first was because you knew i was in love with you, but now you aren’t because i’m with someone who actually loves me. it’s time for you to accept it joão, it’ll never be the same.” your words came out like a knife to his chest, your eyes started to water. someone who was once your best friend was now nobody to you. he saw a side of you nobody as seen, but unfortunately you loved him more than he loved you. truth be told but joão never fell out of love with you.
you walked away a few tears falling down your soft cheeks, you turn around to see joão’s hands covering his face as he heaves, you’ve never seen him cry like this. ever. you wipe your tears as you go back to the table plastering a fake smile, your family not having a single clue in the world about what just happened. few minutes after joão comes to the living room looking normal. you both exchanged a weak smile, your heart ached as well as his.
months pass by, you broke up with your boyfriend, joão’s loan at barca ended, and it’s officially euros season. despite avoiding watching football because of joão, you decided to start watching with your father, but tonight you’re at a hotel in berlin, 10 minutes away from the stadium. you posted on your story the place you were at. drinking a glass of wine as you lay on your bed doing your work on your computer, it was close to 2 am, you start to shut everything off as you hear the storm hitting your hotel window, you pull the covers over your body until you heard banging at your front door. afraid but you got up to look at the peephole to see a soaking wet joão. you open the door as he looks at you with bloodshot eyes, he’d been crying. he brings you in a tight hug as you hug him back, he takes in your scent, you always smelt so good.
“what’s wrong j?”
“too much on my mind.” he says drained, you brought him in to sit on the couch, you open a can of his favourite beer as he smiles to you, “you remembered” you giggled, “okay come on let’s talk” you said
you found out that joão missed a penalty shot and he just feels so bad, you understand his concern so you let him stay the night, you both sleep on the opposite sides of the bed. you started mindlessly scrolling on your phone now that you were wide awake. “i can’t stop thinking about you.” joão faces you
“joão please-“
“no y/n- please listen to me. you are my soulmate, my everything. you’re the only person that gets me..” he says as he gets up, walking up to you. “how can i let go of you? you are so fucking beautiful. you have the most beautiful skin, most beautiful hair, and your voice sounds like honey. all i think about is you. ever since i saw you moved on my heart yearned for you. i forgot how amazing you were. i was stupid, all i thought about was my career but completely forgot why i was in it for, i wanted to make money for you. but i got caught up with everything. please y/n.. i can’t lose you..” he says as he gets on his knees, hugging your body as he places kisses all over your body, “please y/n.. say something.” he says as he places a kiss on your cheeks, as well as briefly placing a kiss on your lips. you were crying as well as he was. you wanted to hug him and kiss him to let him know that everything will be okay.
“no- joão. please stop. it’s ruined. you ruined it. it can’t be fixed” you say as you pushed him off, “before i would’ve taken you back in a heartbeat. believe me. but now you don’t deserve me. i think you should leave” you held back your tears
he nodded, defeated. making his way to the door, he opened the door as he looked back at your teary eyes. “i would wait a million years for you. eu te amo” he walked out, your heart aching.
Hi! Sorry to bother you
Can i ask for one of joao were reader helps him to forget about his ex but later she founds out They are still talking from time to time but Its actually no how she thinks? Like angst with reader being totally insecure but with happy ending
Thank you!!
summary:: he said he was over her. u believed him, until u saw her name light up his phone. you tried not to care. but it’s hard to love someone who still lives in their past. you just wanted to be chosen. fully. completely. loudly. and in the end… he did.
warnings:: angst?
writers notes:: TIME CAST A SPELL ON ME. BUT YOU WONT FORGET ME? anyways yea

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
you didn’t ask about her.
not when he first told you there was someone. not when his voice got tight talking about her. not when you noticed the way he paused before answering questions like “how long were you in love with her?”
you just listened. held his hand. let him exist without pressure. because god, you knew what heartbreak looked like, and his had barely scabbed over when you walked in.
you didn’t ask for more than what he could give. just stayed close enough to be steady. never too much. never too loud.
and he started smiling again.
he laughed with you. he kissed you like he meant it. he held you like he didn’t want to let go.
so you told yourself it was real.
even when something in your chest whispered, not quite.
even when his phone would light up with her name late at night and he’d pretend he didn’t see it.
you found out accidentally.
you weren’t snooping. not really. you were just grabbing his charger off his nightstand while he showered, and his phone buzzed, and it was instinct to glance. just a glance.
"hey. i saw your interview. you looked good." from her.
your stomach dropped.
you didn’t open the chat. didn’t need to. your hands were already shaking.
you hadn’t heard her name in months. he hadn’t mentioned her in even longer.
and now… this?
your mind spiraled quietly. you didn’t say anything when he came out of the bathroom, towel slung low on his hips, smile lazy and soft when he saw you. you smiled back.
but it didn’t reach your eyes.
you started noticing more after that.
the way he’d text with his phone tilted away from you. the way he’d get quiet sometimes, scrolling, jaw tense. the way he’d answer a call in the other room and come back like nothing happened.
it could’ve been anyone. but it wasn’t. you knew.
still, you didn’t say a word.
you started pulling away in small ways. cancelling plans. not staying the night. letting his calls go to voicemail. when he noticed, you just said you were tired. busy. nothing’s wrong.
and he believed you.
or maybe he didn’t. maybe he was just waiting for you to say it.
you almost did one night, when he took you to dinner and held your hand the whole time and kissed your forehead and said “i love you” like it was a truth he’d always known.
your heart cracked.
because you wanted to believe him.
but her name still sat in your bones. still itched under your skin. still whispered you’re second best. always were.
you cried that night when he fell asleep beside you, arms around your waist, breath warm on your neck.
silent tears. shaking shoulders.
he didn’t wake up.
you told yourself you were overreacting.
that maybe they were just friends. maybe they talked sometimes and it didn’t mean anything. maybe he’d moved on and you were the one stuck.
but you knew what heartbreak looked like. you knew what grief looked like. and sometimes, you still saw it in his eyes.
like he was still waiting for her shadow to disappear.
and you? you were just holding the light.
you didn’t mean to see it.
again, you weren’t looking.
you were sitting on his couch one rainy afternoon, one of those quiet days where the world feels far away. he was in the kitchen making you tea, hoodie sleeves pushed up, soft music playing from his phone.
it buzzed once.
then again.
your name was on the mug he was holding.
her name was on the screen.
and you looked. again.
"still can’t believe it’s you in the red kit. i always thought you'd wear blue." "you still look good."
your hands curled into fists.
it was always her.
her voice in his phone. her ghost in his ribs. her name on the edge of every silence.
you stood before you could think about it. grabbed your coat. didn’t wait.
you didn’t answer when he called.
not that night. not the next morning. not after the fifth voicemail where his voice got quieter, sadder, more confused.
you couldn’t do it.
you couldn’t be the one he loved when he was lonely. the one who kissed him back while he kept someone else alive in the back of his mind.
you weren’t a substitute. you weren’t a second choice.
you wanted to be the one.
he showed up three days later.
hair a mess, hoodie half-zipped, dark circles under his eyes like he hadn’t slept since you left.
you didn’t open the door at first.
he knocked once. then again.
then softly: ‘please, baby.’
and you opened it. because even though you were angry. even though your chest ached. even though your pride begged you not to—
you still loved him.
and he looked at you like he was afraid you didn’t anymore.
‘why didn’t you tell me you still talk to her?’
his face fell.
he didn’t lie. he didn’t deflect. he just said quietly, ‘because i knew how it would look.’
you didn’t speak.
‘i should’ve told you,’ he said. ‘but i didn’t know how. i didn’t want to hurt you.’
‘but you did.’
he looked down. ‘i know.’
he stepped closer, hands open, not touching.
‘i don’t love her anymore,’ he said.
you blinked.
‘i don’t want her back. she was my past. you—’ he exhaled. ‘you’re my now. my always, if you’ll let me be that.’
‘then why talk to her at all?’
he hesitated. then, gently: ‘because closure’s not always clean. sometimes it lingers. sometimes people try to keep a piece of you even when they shouldn’t.’
‘and you let her?’
his eyes met yours. honest. hurting.
‘i let her talk. but i didn’t answer back in the ways that matter. not anymore. not since you.’
you didn’t say anything for a long time.
the rain tapped on the windows. the silence filled every crack in your chest.
then you whispered, ‘do you still think about her?’
‘not the way i think about you.’
he reached out. touched your hand.
‘when you laugh,’ he said, ‘i don’t think of her. when you fall asleep on my chest, i’m not dreaming of anyone else. when you kiss me, i forget what it felt like to lose before you.’
tears filled your eyes.
‘i never wanted to be a replacement, joão.’
‘you’re not,’ he said, voice breaking. ‘you’re everything i didn’t know i needed.’
you let him hold you after that.
not because it fixed everything.
but because love, real love, is messy. it stumbles. it bleeds. it breaks open and still reaches forward.
and he reached for you.
held you like he’d never let go again.
whispered i’m sorry into your hair a hundred times.
kissed you like he meant forever.
and maybe it wouldn’t always be perfect.
but for the first time, it was real.
and this time, it was yours.
so this is for all the people on my general taglist bc i’ve gotten rq for f1 fics and i need yall to lmk if you want to be added to that also lmk even if ur not on there @barcapix @n0vazsq @httpsdana @paucubarsisimp @universefcb @mariejuli
