Y/N's POV:

It was finally time for the World Cup. I slowly walked up the stairs of the USWNT plane. I was nervous. For the tournament of course but also right now in the moment because I wasn't the best with airplane trips. I walked along and found an empty row and sat in the window seat, peering out nervously. At least it was still solid ground right now I thought as I rested my head back and closed my eyes, desperately hoping this journey would be over as quick as possible. I bounced my leg up and down trying to calm my nerves as the plane engines started.

I felt someone sit down in the seat next to me. "Y/N?". "Huh?", I sat up properly and opened my eyes to find concerned blue eyes meeting mine. "..are you okay Y/L/N?"

"I'm fine", I straightened up, trying not to display my fear of flying. Wordlessly, Alex held out her hand to me and after a few seconds of hesitation I slipped my hand into hers and clutched it tightly as we slowly started to move off. Ten minutes or so later we were flying through the air smoothly. I opened my eyes eventually and muttered a quiet thank you to Alex, and I saw the slightest blush on her cheeks along with a small smile. Something within me told me not to let go of her hand, and so I didn't.

I woke up, blinking a few a times to clear my vision and re adjust to my surroundings. Holy shit I was on a plane. I felt my palms start to get sweaty and tried to sit up to calm myself down. That's when I felt Alex's head leaning on my shoulder, keeping me stuck in my place. I looked down and saw our hands were still intertwined, making me smile softly. I started thinking deeply about how her skin felt against mine and before I knew it my nerves about flying had disappeared once again.

I stared at her a little in awe for a few minutes and then I felt her stirring awake so I quickly shut my eyes and pretended I was asleep. I felt her head move off my shoulder as she looked around a little, and then I could feel her eyes on me for a couple of seconds. Fuck did she know I was staring at her? Did she think I was some creep? All my thoughts were laid to rest when I felt her grip on my hand tighten, her other hand snaked around my arm and once again she rested her head on my shoulder with a happy sigh. And before I knew it we had both fallen asleep again.

I was awoken once again but this time because of my team mates being too loud. "Half an hour till we land babyyyy", someone shouted from the back. I rubbed my eyes and stretched a little, noticing Alex who had clearly woken up before me, was looking at me with a small smirk. "What is it Morgan? Is there something on my face?", I asked as I wiped my mouth.

"You're look cute when you sleep Y/L/N", she taunted. "Oh piss off", I told her with a little shove, making her laugh. We talked for the next half an hour and soon enough it would be time to land. I instinctively grabbed Alex's hand as the wheels hit the tarmac roughly. She winced a little as we came to a halt. "Shit I'm sorry", I apologised genuinely as I realised I was squeezing her hand a little too hard. "Don't worry about", she replied with a smile and she shook her hand around a little. I felt awful about hurting her and just before everyone started getting up out of their seats I held onto her hand and bought it up to my lips, placing a quick gentle kiss on the back. She blushed in response but said nothing.

Eventually we made it to base camp and were waiting to find out who we were rooming with. I listened out for my name, "Y/N you're with...Crystal". I was a little bit disappointed, oh well Crystal is nice it can't be too bad. "Hold on girls I've mixed it up, Kelley you're with Crystal, which means...Y/N you're with Alex. Okay girls go get settled and we'll meet downstairs at 6 for dinner and a team briefing".

I tried to hide my smile as I noticed Alex looking around for me within the small crowd. Her eyes lit up as she found me and walked over to stand by my side. "Let's go roomie", I told her with a smirk as we made our way up to our room.

I slid the keycard and opened the door to our room, inspecting the place as we walked in. It was spacious and bright, there was two big beds and a balcony. Alex immediately took notice of the coffee machine in the corner and went to get a drink. She offered me an espresso shot but I shook my head and fell back onto my bed. "Get off rookie that's my bed".

"Nope, I got here first old lady", I told her with a tired smile. She gasped, pretending to be offended, then downed her coffee shot and came towards me. "You take that bed", I pointed towards the bed closer to the door side. "No I want the one near to the window", she whined, trying to pull me off but I stayed rigid and eventually she gave up trying to pull me up. Or so I thought. She turned to new tactics to try and make me move. She stood at the foot of the bed and leaned over, running her hands up and down the side of my torso, making me turn slightly red in the face. Then suddenly she began to tickle me.

I laughed loudly and begged her to stop. "Not until you give me my bed", she laughed. Eventually I began to give in as the tickling was like torture. "I have a better idea", I told her. "You sleep here", I explained pointing to the bed we were on, "and I'll sleep there", I pointed to the other side of the same bed.

"What if I don't want to sleep with you?", she asked me with a mischievous glint in her eyes.

"Oh but you do", I replied with a smirk, having sobered up from the tickling I held onto her waist and pulled her towards me onto the bed. 

"Are you sure about that Y/L/N?", she questioned breathlessly as we came face to face, her legs either side of my waist as I leant back against the headboard. I hummed in response and looked into her eyes. "mmm you smell like coffee", I told her as I leaned in slightly, my eyes drifting down towards her lips. She put her hands either side of my neck and drew me closer, finally connecting our lips.

The I felt an explosion of feelings in that moment, from peace and joy to happiness and excitement. I wrapped one arm around her waist and placed the other on the back of her head, deepening the kiss. We were suddenly interrupted by a knock at the door, making us jump up and separate as quick as we could.

Sophia's voice began speaking from the other side of the door. "Hey guys...Jill moved the team briefing its like right now".

"Uhhh okay we'll be right down Soph thanks", I spoke for both us and then heard her walk away and knock on the next door.

I turned back to look at Alex. Fuck fuck fuck. What just happened? I rubbed the back of my neck, trying to think of what to say.

"Uhh we should...go down", she spoke quietly.

"Yeah umm of course", we checked ourselves in the mirror really quickly and then headed downstairs in silence.
