Alessia Russo x Leah Williamson

Protective

Today is the day that Alessia joins Arsenal. Leah is super excited to have Alessia join, not just because she'll help the team, but because Leah has a slight crush on Alessia so being able to spend everyday together in club makes leah very happy. Once Alessia joined and got comfy they began training for Arsenal v Man unites, which is ashame because it means Alessia has to play against her old teammates, including her best friend Ella which is going to be quite hard to do.

After a few days of training and Alessia has settled in, it's finally match day. "Are you excited to play for arsenal Less?" Asked Lotte in the changing rooms of Emirates "yeah of course, it's just going to be hard playing against Man U" Alessia says while brushing her hair "yeah I get it, but you'll get used to it, I'm always here if you wanna talk" Lotte said smiling "thanks Lotts"

35th minute of play in the first half, Alessia was running towards the goal with the ball. As she was about to kick it into the net, Ella tackled Alessia to the ground; she fell to the ground very hard hitting her head while doing so. Leah saw it happen and quickly ran up to Ella "what was that for Ella?" Ella looked down and Alessia then back up at Leah "I didn't mean to tackle lessi" Leah rolled her eyes and pushed Ella out the way, quickly kneeling down to Alessia who was quietly wincing in pain "it'll be okay don't worry!" Leah saw a tear fall down Alessia cheek "leah...leah it hurts" before leah could respond, she noticed Alessia slowly closing her eyes "less no, less don't black out" but Alessia had already blacked out.

At the medic room, Leah knocked on the door before entering. She saw Alessia on the bed with an ice pack to cool herself down.
"Hey less" Leah says walking up to her.
"Hi" Says Alessia slowly lifting her head up
"How do you feel?" Leah asks sitting down next to Alessia
"My head is throbbing madly" she says laying back down and repositioning the ice pack
"I'm sorry" Leah's says almost mumbling it
"For what?"
"I got super angry at Ella, and now o feel so bad" a tear rolls down Leah's cheek
"Hey le don't worry, you were just being protective. I get it"
"Are you sure your okay though less?" Leah says looking up
"Of course"
"Just please take it easy less, I can't have you blacking out again. That really scared me"
"I won't baby"
Leah leans in towards Alessia for a kiss.
