I am not talking about American football obviously because it's Spain :3

"Isn't he amazing?" Girls in your school would drool over the school's football team captain Antonio.

The fact that you loved football (sorry if some of you don't), but something just blocks your way.
Your stupid health condition. You were diagnosed with asthma and a heart problem. Your parents forbid you go play any sport or do any stressful activities, which sucked since you spent most of your life lying on your bed reading a book, looking outside at the healthy kids playing fetch with their dogs or tag and studying about your health conditions.

"Wish I can play..." You muttered before you walked towards your next class.

Your next was your worst. You watched people play volleyball for P.E as you just sat down by the bench watching everyone play. Everyday you'd excuse yourself from the class and sneak into the old art room of the school. Everyday you'd just sketch, draw, paint or doodle anywhere you can since nobody uses that place anymore.
As you walked to the old art room, you accidentally bumped into someone.

"Ah! Lo siento chica!" He answered as he helped you pick up your things. You looked up at him to see his green emerald eyes and messy brown hair.

"I'm Antonio, you?"

"(Y/n)..." You shyly answered since this was your first time talking to him.

"Ah! (Y/n)! I know you from Human Anatomy."

"You do?" You never thought that an athlete would recognize you.

He nodded, "you explain the human body like how it's suppose to work! I'm a football player and I don't know what works in my body except for my hands, feet, legs and mind when I play and your also my classmate!"

"T-Thanks." You stuttered.

"Maybe we can talk more later after school? A new café just opened down the block, wanna meet there?"

"Sure." You smiled.

"Meet you there after school! Adios chica!" He jogged towards the hall meeting up with his friends with the three of them together who will all be known as the Bad Touch Trio who were known for their pervertedness, but you know the true side of them. They weren't just perverts, they went through stuff that people never thought they wouldn't go through. Francis lost his girlfriend in a house fire two years ago, Gilbert is actually insecure of himself after losing his Uncle Fredrick and Antonio lost his all of his siblings in a shoot out that happened five years ago. You knew that these were just all acts to cover up their sad faces and you knew all of these things about them because of your long friend who were friends with them before you transferred.

Hours passed until school ended. You walked towards the new café.
It was like an ordinary café with the usual calm mood. You ordered (favorite drink) and sat down by one of the couch seats near the window looking outside at the park nearby. You smiled as you watch some kids play football, the little girl who successfully stole the ball from her opponent and making a goal. You smiled at the fact that they were very lucky ro have good health.

"Is this seat taken?" You looked in front of you to see Antonio smiling sweetly.

"Hey Antonio."

"Hola (Y/n)!" He spoke in his native tongue as he took the couch seat in front of you.

"So what do you want to talk about?" You took a sip of your drink.

"Well how about we get to know each other well, I know that this is the really a reason..." You smiled.

"Fine." You and Antonio talked for hours learning each other's likes and dislikes or maybe a bit of personal stuff.

"Before I walked in I saw you looking at the children at the park, you like football?" You nodded, "then why don't you play?"

"Well..." You took a deep breath. This was your first time telling your sickness to another person after your best friend, "I have two health conditions that forbids me to join physical activities like football. Asthma and a congenital heart disease." He listened attentively, "when I was born I was already diagnosed with the congenital heart disease then later when I was nine I started to cough badly, I couldn't breathe well when I sleep and then I breathe heavily. My parents thought it was my heart condition, but it wasn't. I had to carry another problem, asthma. Whenever I try to jog and five minutes later I would be breathing heavily, which really sucks since I really can't do anything or even go in the snow during winter." You felt a warm hand on yours. You look to see Antonio smiling at you.

"How about we fix that?"

"How?"

"Meet me at the bleachers at the field tomorrow at two o'clock tomorrow. Bring water, a towel and an extra shirt."

"Huh? Why?"

"Well I'm gonna teach you how to play football tomorrow." You looked at him confused.

****************

You walked towards the football field of your school. From yesterday you were still confused, but you went there anyways. You entered the field to see Antonio with two footballs.

"So what are we going to do here?" You dropped your bag on the bleachers as Antonio threw a ball at you. You caught the ball with a confused face.

"Like I said yesterday chica, I'm going to teach you how to play football."

He instructed you to sit on the bleacher, "now try balancing the ball on your foot." You did as he said, "now kick it up." You kicked it, "repeat that." You repeatedly kicked the ball. You actually felt proud of yourself for this.

"Now you can play football without get that tired." You caught the ball as you placed it beside you. You unexpectedly glomped the Spaniard squealing.

"Oh my god thank you Antonio!!!!" He laughed as he hugged you back.

"Your welcome chica."

Months passed. You and Antonio became best of friends. Your parents were actually fine with the "football practice" where Antonio teaches you after school. During these months you were developing feelings for the tomato bastard as what Lovino likes to call him.

Prom was coming up and you and your long time friend were going shopping for prom dresses. She was already asked out by Lovino, thus you not being asked out yet.

"So you think Toni's gonna ask you out?" She asked.

"I wish." You scammed through the dresses that didn't seem right for you, "why is it so hard for us to get dresses while guys get to wear tux?"

"Because we girls are very rare in nature." She answered back.

You almost gave up looking for the perfect prom dress until your friend took out a dress and gave it to you.

"Here, I think Toni would go crazy for you in this." She smirked as you examined the dress.

It was a flowing red strapless dress with a diamonds studded around it. The skirt was descending from the front to the back exposing your knees and down.

"You sure about this dress (Friend's name)?"

"Yes! Now for the shoes." You groaned as you bought the dress.

*************

The next day you went to school. Through the halls you can hear guys asking out girls or homosexuals getting their happy dream of asking out their crush and getting accepted for last minute prom dates since prom was tonight. You opened your locker to get you books. Just in time the bell rang. You closed your locker door as you headed to class. The whole day you didn't see Antonio which was weird for you since he would be going with you the while day talking about stuff. You found Gilbert and Francis at the end of school while you were walking home.

"Hey Francis! Gil!" You jogged towards them as they turned back at you.

"Hello frau!" Gilbert greeted.

"Bonjour belle, what brings you to us?"

"I wanted to ask," you huffed, "where's Toni?"

"Last time I saw him he said he wanted to do something for someone special." Francis said.

"What?"

"He was going to ask someone out." You heart shattered after hearing that.

"Oh.... Okay, well see you guys at prom!" You walked away quickly going home. You felt a tinge of disappointment as you walked home.

Even though you didn't get asked out, you went anyways because you didn't want to disappoint your friend because she bought the dress for you.

Later in prom...

You arrived stunning making the boys stop and stare at you. You felt a bit embarrassed since you weren't used to the attention.

"Oh my god is that you (Y/n)???" You saw your friend with Lovino.

"Hi." You smiled as she gave you a thumbs up.

"Oi ragazza." You looked at Lovino.

"Yes?"

"The bastard is waiting for you in the football field." He said.

"Toni?"

"Si."

"Okay. Thanks Lovino!" You walked towards the football field unaware that you were being followed.

You were about to enter the football field until someone grabbed your hand. You face back to see the school jerk (insert shitty name here).

"What do you want (insert shitty name here)?"

"Well I saw that you were alone so I wanted to escort you back to prom."

"No thanks I gotta go." You pulled your hand away as you started to walk away again, but he grabbed your hand again..

"Aw c'mon darlin'. I know that you want to be alone, so what about you spend that time with me?"

"Let go (insert shitty name here)." I yelled loudly.

"I warned you (Y/n)." He pinned you against the wall as you struggled . You stepped on his foot resulting to make him angry. Again you kicked him where the sun doesn't shine.

As he was about to violate you. You saw someone's fist punched his face making you drop down.
You looked up to see Antonio with his fists balled up.

"Don't you dare violate mi amor!" He sounded violent.

"Get your own girl Antonio! This one's mine!" (Insert shitty name here) tackled him to the ground punching him.

"H-Hey!" You stood up and kicked the jerk away from Antonio. You helped Toni stand up, "are you okay?"

"Si. Just a few bruises that's all." He smiled as you looked up to see (insert shitty name here) gone.

"Well looks like that last kick scared him away mi amor." You blushed.

"Well you beat him up to most, c'mon get up I have to cover up your bruises."

You both walked towards the bleachers of the field. You both sat down while you got the first-aid kit you both hid under the bleachers.
You applied the hydrogen peroxide as he flinched a bit.

"Stop flinching and let me clean them."

"Lo siento." He smiled sheepishly as you rolled your eyes.
You were cleaning the wound on his cheek as you realized that he was staring at you.

"You look beautiful tonight mi amor." You blushed again.

"T-Thank you, you look handsome yourself too." Then you felt his thumb across your cheek.

"You know mi amor, I always wanted to say this to you since the first time we met."

"W-What is it?" He leaned closer to your ear.

"Te amo."

"What does that mean?"

"I love you." Your eyes widened as he cupped your face and kissed you. You were shock at first, but quickly melted into it. It was passionate and soft. He tasted like tomatoes and churros, his favorites. You both broke away.

"I love you too." The whole night you both missed prom, but you both had your own little prom in the field with a small picnic to go along with it too.

I love this tomato bastard :3

Ciao for now!
