Never Not You

First kicks

A/N: I know Mateo probably wouldn't be able to do this yet but hey it's fake it's a story he came develop as quickly as I want him to

Leah was in the garden, setting up a small goal with a concentrated expression, her mind already plotting ways to get little Mateo moving with a ball at his feet. Aurora watched from the side, an amused grin tugging at her lips. The sight of Leah, a professional footballer, so dedicated to setting up a game for their not-yet-one-year-old son was adorable.

"Le bebé," Aurora teased, walking over with a slight smirk. "Don't you think you're getting ahead of yourself?"

Leah turned to her with a raised eyebrow, looking scandalized. "Aurora, if anything, I'm doing this way too late!"

Aurora's grin widened as she wrapped her arms around Leah's waist, her hands sliding up under Leah's shirt. Her fingers brushed along Leah's warm skin, and she leaned in, her breath hot against Leah's ear. "You say my name so sexy, baby," she whispered, her lips teasing Leah's neck with feather-light kisses.

Leah tensed, clearly fighting the temptation. Normally, Aurora's touch would've been enough to make her forget about everything else. But this time, Leah held strong. She took a deep breath, her voice soft but determined. "Too bad I'm busy right now."

Aurora let out a mock gasp, pulling back to pout. "This usually works," she said, sounding adorably defeated.

Leah chuckled and turned her head, giving Aurora a brief kiss. "I know, Rory. But I really want to do this with Teo."

Aurora's eyes twinkled. "Ill also join if that's ok?"

Leah's face lit up, excitement sparkling in her eyes. "You mean you'll play too?"

Aurora smiled and nodded. "Of course. Someone's gotta show Teo how a real footballer plays."

Leah rolled her eyes dramatically, faking offense as she placed a hand on her chest. "I hope you're not talking about yourself, baby."

Aurora grinned, her competitive side coming out. "I mean, I did attend La Masía, amor. Unlike someone I know."

Leah scoffed playfully, crossing her arms. "And which one of us is the professional footballer now?"

Aurora smirked, leaning in just a little closer. "I could've gone pro, you know. Just didn't want to."

Leah shook her head, stepping back to put some space between them. "Mhm, sure. Just admit it, Rory. I'm better than you."

Aurora raised an eyebrow, her eyes sparkling with mischief. "Better, huh?" Without warning, she grabbed the ball that had been sitting nearby and, with a quick move, nutmegged Leah, sending the ball smoothly between her legs.

Leah gasped, whipping around to see Aurora grinning like the smug tease she was. "What was that, amor?"

"You're a cheat!" Leah laughed, reaching out for the ball, but Aurora danced away, keeping it just out of reach.

Aurora winked. "Come get it then, Leah."

And just like that, it was on. Leah, despite her playful words, wasn't one to let a challenge go unanswered. She lunged for the ball, but Aurora managed to keep it away, using quick, teasing moves to dodge her. Leah laughed, genuinely impressed that Aurora was holding her own, but soon enough, the tables turned.

Leah pressed harder, and Aurora knew she wouldn't be able to outplay her forever. So, in true Aurora fashion, she started to play dirty. A quick nudge, a cheeky trip, and suddenly Leah was off-balance. Aurora took advantage, but her smug victory didn't last long. In her moment of triumph, she fumbled, and Leah pounced.
