It was 9:30 and the coach called everyone for a meeting. I had no clue what was going on, me and Luca sat on the side of the room while Neymar and Kylian were sat in the front.
After we got home last night, we all went straight to bed. All morning I tried to get something out of Luca regarding their night, but no luck. He said that there's nothing I need to worry about and that they actually did have a great night. However, you could see it on their faces that they were not ready for today and they'll rather be in bed than here.
'As you all know, we'll be playing against Troyes ton-' Galtier's words started fading out, as my eyes grew wide and my head instantly turned towards Luca who had the same reaction. I glanced at Ney and then at Kylian, who seemed just as confused. 'I want you all to give your best out there. Training will begin in a few hours, so you have time to do whatever you want until then. Don't be late.' he said, leaving the room.
Me and Luca left straight away and headed towards our office. He took a seat on the couch, while I was pacing around the office.
'How the hell didn't we know about this?' I asked confused.
'He's old, he probably never even mentioned it before.' he laughed.
'Didn't seem like it.' I said stopping in front of him with my arms crossed. 'We were the only ones shocked to find out about it.'
The door opened, Kylian and Neymar stepping inside.
'I swear I didn't know.' Kylian said closing the door behind them.
'Galtier is old, he probably didn't even tell us.' Neymar said shrugging his shoulders and giving me a kiss.
'Exactly what I said!' Luca added excited.
'Are you two going to be okay playing?' I asked concerned, glancing from Neymar to Kylian and back to Ney.
'Yes, but I need to nap first or I'll drop dead on that pitch.' he said dropping on the couch next to Luca and resting on him.
'I'm not your girlfriend.' Luca said trying to push him off, but Neymar just wouldn't budge.
'But you could be, considering how much time we spend together.' he said, making me roll my eyes with a smile on my face.
'I'm going to grab something to eat.' Kylian said, walking towards the door.
'Wait, I'm coming with you.' I said.
I gave Neymar a kiss before following Kylian out the office.
'Oh, yeah, mwah. Thanks Irina.' Luca said sarcastically. 'Your lips are so soft.' he said laughing, as Neymar's eyes were closed. He opened them instantly to see me no where near Luca and started hitting him playfully mumbling something.
Me and Kylian left the office, walking towards the cafeteria.
'What's up with them two?' Kylian said smiling.
'Just Neymar and Luca being Neymar and Luca.' I smiled, shaking my head.
'How do you deal with them?'
'It kinda became a habit.' I laughed. 'All I care about is them getting along. And as long as they're like this, I have nothing to worry about.' I shrugged my shoulders.
'You do realise he likes you, right?' he laughed.
I stopped in my tracks in front of him. 'No, no.' I shook my head. 'Ew, no, Kylian.' I said shaking my head with a serious look, making him laugh. 'He has a girlfriend.' I said sternly and started walking in front of him.
'Is that good enough of a reason?' he said laughing, catching up to me.
I stopped and turned around, pulling him to the side with a serious look on my face. 'Luca has a girlfriend and I have a boyfriend. I don't know what weird fantasy you have going on-'
'I'm just saying.' he said cutting me off. 'I don't have to be glued to you guys to realise that.' he shrugged his shoulders.
'Thank you for sharing your thoughts with me.' I said sarcastically, turning around, ready to make my way towards the cafeteria again.
'Or maybe you have realised.' Kylian whispered behind me, our bodies so close, I could feel his breath on my neck. 'And maybe you just chose to ignore it.'
'Look, golden boy...' I turned around once again, our faces inches apart. 'Yes, Luca is the person I confide in, yes, we spend a lot of time together, yes, he's the one person I would set the world on fire for...' I paused, not breaking eye contact. 'Yes, he's my fricking soulmate. But that doesn't mean it has to be in a romantic way. Capiche?'
All he did was smirk.
'Can we go eat now?' I added, both finally making our way to the cafeteria.

After we got our food, we decided to take a seat at one of the tables in the cafeteria. We were the only people there, meaning that the other players were getting ready for the match.
'So what about that day?' I asked, breaking the silence.
'I thought you bailed on me.' he said smiling.
'I promised, Kylian.' I said shaking my head. 'And I tend to keep my promises.'
'Well, you don't have to worry about it.' he winked. 'I'll let you know when everything is sorted.'
'Can I at least know what to expect?' I asked.
'No.' he whispered smiling, taking a bite of his sandwich.
