Skipper's Kid

Yes, You Do

"Hey, Kim?" Katie's eyes gleamed mischeviously.

You scowled as your mom looked up. "Yeah?"

"Have ye' seen the newest YouTube video on the Arsenal channel?" the Irishwoman couldn't contain the smirk on her face. "Ye' should watch it if ye' haven't."

"What's it ab- what the fuck is this?" your mom glared at you as the video loaded up on her phone. "Are yee' two serious right now?"

"Wha- two?" Katie looked incredulous. "I didn't want to go! Y/N made me!"

You scoffed. "Yeah, I just dragged ye' with me and didn't ask if ye' were okay with it."

Jen snickered. "Yer' such a liar, Katie."

Your mom sighed, pinching the bridge of her nose as she watched your view of jumping out of a plane. "I literally left for a week. Leah, Steph, ye' were supposed to watch her!"

Leah smiled sheepishly. "She just told me that Erik wanted her and Katie for a video! I didn't know that she was jumping out of an aeroplane!"

"Erik asked for Y/N and Katie," the Midfielder argued. "Those two together means somethin's up."

Steph chuckled. "She's got you there, Leah."

Leah stuck out her tongue. "Shut up, Steph."

"Where are ye' goin', kiddo?" Jen questioned as you stood up.

"I have to take a potty break," you responded, doing a double take as you briefly caught sight of something on Manu's phone. "I'll, uh... I'll be back in a second."

Your teammates only nodded as you swiftly exited the room. None of them had noticed the way your face fell.

You'd followed Alessia's advice on staying away from social media, only to accidentally see an insulting comment directed toward you on your teammates' phone. While you were eternally grateful to the Gooners who did their best to make sure you felt at home, a reminder of your former club would always act like a punch in the gut.

After using the toilet, you simply stood in front of the mirror while gripping the sink.

"Will they ever forgive me?" you murmured to yourself as light footsteps sounded out in the hall. Whether you were talking about the Blues' fans or the Blues themselves, you didn't know. Both of them seemed to hold an equal grudge against you.

"Y/N? You alright in there?" Someone's English accent sounded muffled through the door.

"Yeah, one sec!" You slapped your cheeks lightly a few times before slipping out of the door.

"You okay? You look upset," Alessia asked, concern written on her face as she took in your sullen expression. "Did someone do something?"

You shook your head. "Nah, just a wee bit worried 'bout school."

But the Striker was all too familiar with the saddened look in your eyes. "You've gone on Insta, haven't you?"

You shook your head again. "I saw some stuff on Manu's phone when I walked by."

"Aww, kiddo," Alessia was quick to hug you. "Chelsea fans are just jealous that they've lost the best Keeper ever. Don't tell anyone I said that."

You cracked a grin. "Thanks, Lessi. D'ye' wanna come by later and play some FIFA?"

She smirked. "Well, I won't turn down the chance to beat you. It's fun seeing you get all pissy."

You gaped. "I do not get pissy!"

"Yes, you do!"

"No, I don't!"

Your mom stuck her head out of the changing room grumpily. "Yes, ye' do!"

Alessia laughed at your shocked expression. "I told you so!"

-------------------

"Kim, your daughter is so mean!" Alessia complained as you racked up your fourth straight win of the night. "She's cheating and she's bullying me!"

Your mom laughed. "I'm not to sure 'bout the cheatin' part."

You paused. "Wait, just the cheatin' part?"

"Yeah, just the cheatin' part," the captain confirmed. "Ye' can be mean when ye' play video games sometimes. A lot of times, actually."

You pouted. "Muuuuum!"

--------------------

"Girls—" Kim's words died in her throat as she surveyed the wholesome scene in front of her.

You'd fallen asleep with your head resting on Alessia's shoulder, snoring strongly as you loosely gripped your controller in one hand.

Similarly, Alessia's arm was wrapped around you, her head leaning on yours as she slept.

Kim placed a blanket on the two of you carefully before snapping a photo, smiling to herself as you nestled deeper into Alessia's embrace. "I swear, I have two children."
