team dynamics ⤷ joão félix

main character: female: caliste caddel

celebrity: joão félix

slightest touch of angst + fluff

a/n: idk if yall watched the euros this year [2024] but if u guys did then u prob saw joão's miss in pks for portugal 💔 poor boyyy he looked so upset and i feel so bad bc the media just nonstop CLOWNED on him like whattt he doesn't deserve that evb makes mistakes 😞 justice for my king 😭 so this is inspired off the reports of him while he was at barca- when the news published articles and said his mental health was declining and he wasn't meshing well with the team..

also skip the end if ur into tooth-rotting fluff and corny couple stuff 🌚

I'm worried about João. Lately, he's been so fidgety and tired-looking. He's also been semi-ignoring me: his robotic schedule usually consists of waking up early, skipping breakfast, heading to training, then coming back and immediately showering before heading up to the bedroom. It makes me so sad to wake up to the sound of the door shutting every day, knowing João is already gone and hasn't eaten again.

I plan to talk to him about it tonight.

As for today, I have a mall trip scheduled with my girls. In the mirror, I admire my outfit.

"Caliste! You look so cute, babe," my friends squeal as I walk up to them.

"You both look cuter," I lean in and kiss Bridget and Vivi's cheeks. 

"Oh, stop. Where should we go first?" Bridget grins and pushes up her sunglasses.

"I've been wanting that silver Cartier link bracelet for the longest time, but none of the malls I've been to lately have it." Vivi swoons dramatically, clutching Bridget's arm. She laughs. "Are you talking about the one with the heart clasp in the back? I love that one, it's so cute. I wish I wore silver."

"Then let's go!" We start for the Cartier store, heading toward the East wing of the mall.

"Sooo," I drag, smiling mischievously at Vivi. "How's married life treating you so far?" Her extravagant marriage with NBA star Jalen Green has been plastered all over the news recently. Vivi flushes, failing to hide a wide grin. "Oh, stop," she drawls. "He's just wonderful. He's been so doting and romantic the past few days... I hope he never changes. You know, his parents already sent us links to Italy and Greece for our honeymoon?"

Bridget pulls a face. "Ooh, not Greece. Italy for sure."

"How's João?" Vivi nudges me. My excited smile fades a bit, and Bridget is quick to notice. "What's wrong? Lover's quarrel?"

"No- I wouldn't say a quarrel," I sigh. "He's just been so... off, recently. It's like, he wakes up early, leaves before I'm up and without breakfast, he comes home at an ungodly hour, barely says anything to me, then the cycle repeats. I can't even remember the last time we had a real conversation."
