Alessia Russo Oneshot

Warmth in Your Hands

Alessia Russo was usually composed on the pitch, her movements precise and calculated. Yet today, as she stood on the sidelines after a tough training session, her hands were visibly trembling. You noticed immediately, concern flickering across your face as you approached her.

"Hey, Alessia, are you okay?" you asked softly, reaching out to gently touch her arm.

She turned to you, offering a weak smile. "Yeah, just a bit cold, I think."

You took a closer look and saw her hands were indeed icy, her fingers trembling slightly. Without a second thought, you took her hands in yours, rubbing them gently to warm them up. Alessia looked surprised at first, her eyes meeting yours in gratitude.

"Thanks," she murmured, her voice barely above a whisper.

"You're welcome," you replied, continuing to rub her hands gently, trying to impart as much warmth as possible.

Alessia sighed softly, leaning closer to you for comfort. The touch of your hands was soothing, the warmth seeping into her chilled skin. She closed her eyes briefly, letting herself relax against your touch.

After a few moments, her hands started to regain their natural warmth, the trembling subsiding. She looked down at your intertwined fingers, a soft smile playing on her lips.

"You have magic hands," she teased lightly, her voice tinged with relief.

You chuckled softly. "Just trying to help."

She squeezed your hands gently before reluctantly pulling away. "Thank you, really."

"Anytime," you assured her, giving her hands a final squeeze before letting go.

As Alessia resumed her usual composure, you couldn't help but notice the brief warmth that lingered between you, more than just physical. It was a moment of connection, of care, shared in the simplest of gestures.

From then on, whenever Alessia's hands were cold or trembling, she would look to you instinctively, a silent request for that comforting touch. And each time, you gladly offered your warmth, knowing that sometimes, the smallest acts of kindness could mean the most.
