Nobody has ever done something like this. (Grace Clinton)

There was no doubt you and grace were one of the youngest players in the England squad. With that being said, you two were the closest with each other. You two were always having breakfast together, being roommates, talking non stop when the girls would invite you guys out. 

It had been international break and you and Grace were seeing each other since you moved clubs, leaving tottenham to go to arsenal. Grace was happy for you, but she was a little upset that you weren't going to see each other as often as you did when you played for the same club. Having practically been through everything with grace by your side made it hard for you to leave but you wanted to do what was better for your football career, and she understood that.

You were sitting with Alessia and Toone just catching up with Toone since you and alessia were now at arsenal together.

"So how's less treating you at arsenal y/n?" toone asked you as you were in the changing room. "It's been alright...she's definitely taken me under her wing" you smiled over at alessia. "She's been great anyway, doesn't need much guiding.." alessia smiled at you. 

The three of you looked over at the door as you heard it open. Coming into the changing room was Grace, she was holding this small gift bag in her left hand. You could see out of the corner of your eye, alessia and toone exchanged looks.

"Toone you wanna come help me with the equipment?" alessia asked toone. "Yeah, sure.." toone and alessia had walked out of the changing room. You turned to look at grace. "What you got there?" you asked sounding a bit amused. "Just a little...." grace looked down at it. "...early birthday present.." grace smiled handing it to you.

You reach for hand inside before grace pulled your hand out.

"Wait...wait until i'm like not here.." grace's eyes widened and she headed for the door.

You rolled your eyes and were about to open the gift bag until alessia walked in. 

"Hey y/n, come on training's about to start...we're waiting for you.." alessia said. "Okay, i'm coming.." you said putting the gift bag in your training bag, it was quite small the impatience was killing you but you wanted to get training over with.

________________

Throughout training, grace was being so distant. She usually groups up with you, alessia and toone but instead she went with Millie, Rachel and Esme. That only made you more curious to what she had given you. 

Once training was over you sprinted to the changing rooms, getting dress along with everyone. You waited till it was only a few people left in the changing room when you got the little gift bag out again. Grace was nowhere to be seen, you figured she was outside talking with someone, somewhere.

You opened the small gift bag to find a small box. It looked like a ring box. Along with it was a small note. It was grace's handwriting, you could tell.

______

'Happy Birthday to my best friend, the girl i love the most, the girl who understands me. The girl who accepts me for who i am. I know you will never judge me, which is one of the reason why i love you. I am so glad i get to call you my best friend, i wouldn't have picked anyone else to do this all with. 

Love, Grace ♡'

By the time you finished reading the small note, you were teary eyed. You hoped nobody walked in on you at this moment, especially not her. You couldn't lie, you read it about 5 times before she actually did walk in.

Your head shot up and your eyes met with Grace's.

You were quick to wipe your eyes and you stood up putting the box back into the small gift bag. Grace walked up to you and turned you around, you were still trying to wipe your eyes. 

"What's wrong..why are you crying?" grace asked sounding so concerned. "Nothing.." you lied. "Did someone do something to you?" grace asked. "No..." you said. "Then what's wrong y/n.." grace asked again. "I just read your note.." you smiled at grace.

Grace looked away from you and looked nervous. 

"I told you to read it when i'm not here.." grace said about to start walking away until you grabbed her arm. 

"I love it..." you said. Grace smiled at you. "You love the ring?" grace asked you. "I love the note..." you said. 

"Nobody has ever done something like this." you said.

Grace looked so embarrassed. "I didn't mean to make you cry." she said. You scoffed and pulled her into a hug. "You're the best best friend i could've asked for grace.." you said.

You felt grace wrap her arms around you and you smiled. 

"I got us matching rings by the way.." grace said as she pulled away. You reach in to get the box again. You opened it and looked at the tiny infinity shaped ring. Grace stuck her hand out revealing the same ring on her finger.
