Måneskin Imagines ♡

In the blink of an eye (Victoria & Damiano)

Requested by Vica_Angels   💕

In this story, Y/n is a football (soccer) player and Måneskin are her siblings.

It's a Saturday night and you are at the club with your brothers Damiano, Ethan, Thomas, and your sister Victoria. It was Victoria's idea as she wanted to celebrate your big football game win earlier. You smashed the competition and scored the most goals for your team.

After the game today, you feel quite exhausted and not in a very celebratory mood, all you want to do right now is sleep. Your social battery is totally depleted. "Vic?" you say as you touch her arm.
"Yes Y/n?" she replies with the biggest smile.
"I-I wanna go home." you tell her.
"Wait, why? We're celebrating your incredible win!" she frowns.
"Yeah I know but I'm just so tired and I don't feel in the mood for all of this." you reply.
"Okay." Vic sighs "I'll drive you home."
"But Vic you've been drinking." you state as you frown at her.
"Y/n, I'm pretty much sober!" she protests.
You have to admit, she doesn't seem drunk at all.
"Alright." you give in.
You and Victoria then make your way to the door to leave.
"Are you guys going?" Damiano yells to you both.
"Yeah." Vic yells back.
Damiano then makes his way towards you both "I'll come with you both, I want to go home too."

The three of you then get in Vic's car, she and Damiano in the front and you in the back. You still feel uncomfortable about Vic driving because number one, she's had some alcohol and number two she only recently passed her driving test and she's had quite a few small accidents on the road since she started driving.

Vic turns to you "Y/n, what's wrong?" she says, snapping you out of your thoughts.
"Nothing." you reply.
"Doesn't look like nothing." she protests.
"It's just, I don't like the idea of you driving." you admit.
"Y/n, it's gonna be fine, just trust me." she smiles.
You don't trust her but there's nothing more you can do to stop her from driving and besides, taxi drivers freak you out.
Vic then starts the car and drives off.

For the first 5 minutes of the journey, it is silent, almost eerie as none of you are talking. However you're not particularly in the mood to talk as you're very tired after today. You stare out of the car window and observe the nature you pass by.

"Okay, you guys are so dead, let's put some music on." Vic exclaims enthusiastically- you wish you had her energy.
"Ugh." Damiano groans "My head is killing me Vic."
"Oh come on guys!" Vic says as she rolls her eyes. She then turns the radio on to a deafening volume, 'Party in the USA' by Miley Cyrus on full blast.
"SO I PUT MY HANDS UP, THEY'RE PLAYING MY SONG, THE BUTTERFLIES FLY AWAY." Vic sings.
Damiano shakes his head.
You find Vic's singing quite funny but it's also starting to give you a headache.
"Come on Y/n, sing with me!" Vic beams as she turns to you.
"No." you groan, dragging out your words.
"Oh go on Y/n." she pleads.
"VIC LOOK OUT." you yell as you see a huge lorry come out of nowhere, approaching the car.

You slowly open your eyes to a completely unfamiliar environment. It's bright, too bright. The vivid white walls of the room bombard your eyes as you scan the room. You then look down and see a myriad of tubes attached to you. You then realise that you're in hospital.

Before you can take this in, a doctor enters the room. "Hello Y/n, how are you feeling?" she says as she smiles at you.
"In pain." you reply weakly. "W-what happened?" you continue.
"You were in a car crash with your brother Damiano and your sister Victoria, do you not remember Y/n?" the doctor tells you.
Suddenly everything comes flooding back- you wanting to leave the club, Victoria driving you home then putting on loud music, and the lorry that came out of nowhere. Your eyes begin to water with tears as you remember what happened.
"Where are they? Are they okay?" you cry out.
"They are here in hospital too." she informs you. "They will be okay though, they only had minor injuries."
You take a sigh of relief; you're so glad that Damiano and Vic are okay.
"Can I see them?" you ask, hope in your words.
"Yes, I will go and get them." the doctor replies, then leaving the room.

Shortly after, the doctor returns with Vic and Damiano. They both go over to you, each of them hugging you tightly.
"Y/n." Vic begins as she holds your face in her hands "I'm so sorry, this is all my fault." she cries, tears falling down her cheeks.
"Oh Vic, this wasn't your fault." you attempt to reassure her as you wipe away her tears with your thumbs.

"Now that you're all here, there's something I need to tell you Y/n." the doctor says sternly.
"Your injuries are a lot worse than your siblings'...you...you might not be able to walk again."
You heart drops and tears immediately clog your eyes, falling down your cheeks in no time. You choke out sobs as you try to control your breathing.
Damiano's mouth opens in shock as tears begin to emerge in his eyes too. "Oh Y/n" he cries as he puts his arms around you and rests his head of you shoulder. "I'm not gonna be able to play football again." you sob as Damiano hugs you tighter.

Football means everything to you, you've been playing it since you were 4 years old, it's your life, and in a blink of an eye it's been snatched from you. Everything you've worked for your entire life means nothing anymore.

"Y/n." Vic says as she holds your hand, her voice shaky from her tears. "We are going to get through this together, you will walk again."
"No I won't, didn't you hear her." you sob.
"Yes but doctors aren't always right. I know you can do this Y/n, you're a warrior and you're unstoppable. I'm gonna see you in so many football games." she assures you.
Her gentle words calm you, but what she's saying seems impossible. You feel as though your life is over.

A year later

You take a deep breath. All of the eyes of the arena are on you. This penalty is the difference between your country winning or losing the tournament. Seconds later the whistle blows, you take a run up and then kick the ball. The crowd goes wild as the ball gets into the net, the goalkeeper going the complete wrong way.  "YES!" you squeal as you jump up and down, unable to contain your happiness. Your teammates then run up to you, swallowing you up with endless hugs.
"Y/n Y/l/n scores the winning goal for Y/c!" (your country) the Sports commentator announces.

You then spot your siblings Victoria, Damiano, Ethan, and Thomas in the crowd and you immediately run over to them. They shower you in hugs and tell you how proud they all are.
"Oh Y/n." Vic says as she holds your hands "I'm so proud of you, I knew there was no way you wouldn't play football again."
You smile at her and hug her once more. "I couldn't have done this without you Vic."
