"Hey, how are you doing?" Christian beamed, and Y/N smiled in return, thrilled to see and talk to her friend. She brushed her hair back behind her neck, revealing more of her face.
"I'm good; I've missed you," Y/N laughed, seeing Christian's cheeky grin in response.
"How's London?" Christian asked, leaning forward with interest. He watched as Y/N shrugged, her eyes darting away before she looked back at him.
"Same old, nothing new," she replied with a shrug.
"And Cobham? How's work been?" He asked, knowing that she was still working while the rest of the team was away for the competition.
"It's fine," Y/N sighed. "I've been hanging out with Ben, Reece, and Ruben a lot since they're the only ones here."
"And how's Ben?" Christian asked with a smile, curious about how his close friend was doing. He knew that his teammate had been struggling with not playing in Qatar after picking up an injury just before the international break.
"Good. He's officially off the market now. His new girlfriend is very nice," Y/N informed him, making Christian's eyes widen in surprise.

"Really? Maybe I need to start dating too," Christian mumbled, making Y/N laugh.
"You should. You can come on a double date with me and Clarke," she offered, thinking it would be a great idea for Christian to branch out and meet some of her new friends at Cobham.
Christian raised an eyebrow, surprised at Y/N's suggestion. She read his reaction and raised her eyes slightly, realizing she had never told anyone.
"Sorry, um, Y/N," Clarke started in a shaky voice. "I've been thinking about this for a while now, and I just had to ask: would you, uh, consider being my girlfriend?"
Y/N was taken aback by Clarke's sudden question and raised an eyebrow in surprise. Clarke shuffled his feet nervously, awaiting her response.
"If you don't want to, that's okay," Clarke added quickly, trying to retract his request. "I just love spending time with you, and I have strong feelings for you. I think you're amazing, and I thought maybe we could..."
