Alessia Russo Oneshot

Behind The Shades

The sun hung high over the bustling streets of London. It was a perfect day for an event that had fans buzzing with excitement. You could hear the chatter of supporters as they lined up outside the Oakley store, eagerly awaiting the chance to meet their heroes, especially Alessia Russo.

As you stood at the entrance, adjusting your own pair of Oakley sunglasses, you felt a flutter of nerves mixed with anticipation. You were Alessia's teammate at Arsenal, and the fans had long speculated about a blossoming romance between you two. Though you both brushed off the rumours with laughter, there was an undeniable chemistry that sparked whenever you were together, making it hard for anyone not to notice.

"Ready?" Alessia asked, a bright smile lighting up her face as she approached, her own Oakley shades perched on her nose. She looked effortlessly cool, her hair pulled back into a loose ponytail, and her confidence radiating with each step.

"Always," you replied, returning her smile. The warmth in your chest was unmistakable, a feeling that had grown since the day you met.

As you entered the store together, the atmosphere shifted. Fans erupted in cheers, waving flags and wearing jerseys adorned with your names. You exchanged glances with Alessia, both of you sharing a moment of disbelief at the adoration surrounding you.

"Here we go," she said, her voice laced with excitement as you both took your places behind the signing table.

The first fan approached, eyes wide with enthusiasm. You signed an autograph while Alessia posed for pictures, her laughter mingling with the cheers. As the queue continued to grow, you couldn't help but steal glances at her, admiring her ability to light up a room.

After a few minutes, a young fan stepped up, clutching an Arsenal shirt. "Can you take a picture with me?" the girl asked, her voice shaky with excitement.

"Of course!" Alessia replied, her smile wide and welcoming. You stood beside her, placing an arm around the girl as they posed. The fan beamed, clearly in awe of both of you.

Once the picture was taken, the girl turned to you, her eyes sparkling. "Are you two dating?" she asked innocently, causing a wave of laughter to ripple through the small crowd gathered around.

You exchanged a glance with Alessia, whose cheeks turned a shade of pink. "We're just teammates," you said playfully, nudging her side.

"Yeah, just teammates," Alessia echoed, but her eyes sparkled with mischief as she leaned closer to you, lowering her voice. "But I wouldn't mind dating my best friend."

Your heart raced at her words, the thrill of the moment sending butterflies swirling in your stomach. The fan smiled, clearly satisfied with your answer, and moved on, leaving you both in a whirlwind of unspoken words.

As the event continued, the two of you took breaks, stepping outside to catch your breath. The sun warmed your skin, and the laughter of fans drifted in the air. Alessia leaned against the wall, adjusting her sunglasses, looking effortlessly stunning.

"Can you believe this?" she asked, her eyes scanning the bustling crowd. "It's amazing how much love there is for us."

"It really is," you replied, glancing at her, feeling a rush of affection. "You deserve every bit of it, you know?"

"Thanks. But I couldn't have done it without my teammate," she said, her gaze lingering on you for a moment longer than necessary.

You both returned inside, the final fans of the day trickling through. As you signed the last few autographs, you couldn't shake the feeling that there was something more brewing beneath the surface of your friendship.

When the event wrapped up, Alessia turned to you, her expression softer now. "Want to grab some food? Just the two of us?"

"Absolutely," you replied, a grin spreading across your face.

As you left the store, the sun began to set, casting a warm hue over the city. Walking side by side, you felt the weight of the rumours and expectations fade away, leaving just you and Alessia in your own world, where friendship might just blossom into something more.
