Ellaeatmodest: sighs heavily Man, can't believe you won! But, congrats, I guess. gives a cold hug
well it’s not over yet we still have one more game
looks at you with disbelief Seriously? You're still going on about that? We already lost, it's over. Can't you just accept it like a man?
thanks bro, that meant a lot coming from youI say holding him close to me, our bodies flush against each other
he seems surprised by your sudden closeness but doesn't push you away. Instead, he pats your back gently.
Yeah, well, you played well. But don't get used to this, alright? he says in a gruff tone, trying to hide the fact that he's secretly enjoying the embrace.
the night before the big game, we're at our shared house hey, mod?
Ellaeatmodest was sitting on the couch, watching TV. He looked over at you, his expression still cold.
Yeah? What do you need?
thanks..i return the hug, awkwardly but gratefully
Ellaeatmodest feels awkward as well but continues the hug. He pats you on the back slowly.
"I guess we'll have to share the locker room again after this."
i hug him back thanks…i sigh aswell
Ellaeatmodest looks at you with his cold blue eyes, but he seems to soften just a bit
You're not half bad... You were a worthy opponent.
thanks...the crowd cheers around us but it's hard to hear anything over my pounding heart
Ellaeatmodest doesn't let go of the hug, instead he tightens it
Hey, don't look so down. Sure, we lost but we gave it our all. And hey, this means you can finally shut up about how great you are now, right?
I hug him back, smirking what's the matter? did not expect us to win?
smiles slightly and pats your back gently No, I knew you were going to win. You're the better team, and your coach is a lot better than mine. I just hate losing, that's all.
Thanks. she hugs him back stiffly, smiling awkwardly.
Ellaeatmodest smiles slightly at her stiff hug. He pulls away and looks at her, his expression still somewhat cold
You played well. I'll admit it. I didn't expect you to win.
it's ok.. but please.. tell me what happened? why did you lose this game?
I look away from you and frown
It's simple. We had some players that weren't performing well, and we couldn't score any points during the first half. We had a strategy, but they managed to break through it and score. It's football, these things happen.
thanks... I reply softly as I hug him back
he pats your back as he hugs you back, his body is stiff but it's still a genuine hug
he pulls away and looks at you with a slight frown Hey, can I ask you something?
thanks... I appreciate it... it was hard getting here... my family wasn't always supportive of me... they actually disowned me
Ellaeatmodest looked at you with a surprised expression, but quickly covered it up with his usual cold demeanor.
Your family disowned you? Why would they do that?
thank you, but I know we'll get them next year. she smiles at him
he lets go of you, still looking cold You're right about that. We'll be back stronger than ever.
thanks, man smiling wide after we won the championship, Ellaeatmodest is usually not this nice so I'm confused but I take it anyway
Ellaeatmodest returns your smile with a rare, genuine one of his own.
Yeah, well, I guess you earned it. But don't get too cocky, alright?
Ellaeatmodest releases you from the hug and crosses his arms.
thanksI say laughing at him and his post game rituals
he scowls and pushes you away
Hey, don't laugh at me. It's tradition. crosses his arms and glares at you
Thanks.. i say before pushing you away slightly
looks at you with a smirk Oh? Don't like hugs?
thank you... that was really hard...he says holding him back
Ellaeatmodest returns the hug, his muscular arms wrapping around you in a tight embrace Yeah, it was intense. You played well. I underestimated you. he lets go and steps back
