Echoes of Glory: FC Barcelona Imagine

⊹₊｡ꕤ˚₊⊹ Signal (Marc Bernal.)

⚽

You glance across the crowded room, your eyes catching sight of Marc. The space is filled with laughter and clinking glasses, but he stands out, even amidst the commotion.

His presence is magnetic, and as you look at him, you can’t help but smile. It’s a smile that you’ve given him countless times today, each one a silent confession of your feelings.

He doesn’t notice, or at least he pretends not to. Every time you exchange glances, you hope he’ll see the depth behind your smile.

You’re always close to him, lingering nearby, engaging in conversation whenever he’s around. The way you lean in when he talks, the way you laugh a little too heartily at his jokes, it’s all intentional.

You want him to feel your presence, to sense that your attention is unwavering.

From some point, you can’t pinpoint exactly when, you realized that your feelings for Marc had shifted. At first, it was just friendship, but somewhere along the way, it deepened into something more.

You remember the moment you realized you were in love with him, how the realization hit you like a wave. It confused you, and it scared you, but it also made you hopeful.

You’ve tried to drop hints, to let him know that your feelings have changed. You wish he’d see it, understand that your gestures and your constant proximity are more than just platonic.

Every time he talks to you, you hold onto his words, hoping that he’ll recognize the affection behind them.

But he doesn’t. It’s as if he’s completely unaware of the signals you’re sending. He treats you with the same friendly warmth that you’ve always known, but nothing more. It’s frustrating, knowing that he might be just a step away from realizing what’s in your heart.

The times you’ve been together, the moments you’ve shared, they all seem to slip past him without him ever noticing the shift in your feelings.

In private moments, you’ve tried to muster the courage to tell him. Your heart races at the thought of confessing, but the fear of ruining the friendship makes you hesitate. You wonder if he’ll ever see you in a different light, or if he’ll always view you as just a friend.

You hope that one day he’ll understand, that he’ll stop being oblivious to the love you have for him.

Every smile, every touch, every conversation is a piece of your heart laid bare, hoping he’ll finally see. The struggle between wanting to reveal your feelings and fearing the end of a cherished friendship keeps you in a constant state of emotional tension.

For now, you remain by his side, continuing to hope that one day he’ll recognize what you’ve been trying to show him all along. Your heart aches for the day when he’ll understand, when the lines between friendship and love will blur, and when you’ll no longer have to hide your feelings.

Until then, you keep smiling, keep talking, and keep staying close, waiting for the moment when he’ll finally see the truth of your heart.
