second place [e]

someone requested this a long time ago, and my lazy self is finally getting around to writing it :))))
____________

you were sitting in the bleachers with your boyfriend's siblings, rain pouring down on you. your boyfriend, ethan, was playing his championship game for his college football team. his team was down a touchdown, and looked miserable. it was already in the fourth quarter, and you were on the edge of your seat, waiting for ethan's team to score a touchdown.

you and ethan have been dating since second year of high school, and were now in your last year of college. you had gone off to seperate colleges, but still managed to stay together. you and ethan have been through a lot together, with everything from cheering him on at his football games, to comforting him when he loses.

the two teams were lined up, and the ball was hutted to the quarterback on ethan's team. his team started running, and the quarterback threw the ball. ethan caught it, and started running. he got tackled as he approached the end zone, and didn't score. ethan stood up, and you knew he was frustrated. him and his team had worked so hard for this moment, and they didn't wanna be at any place than first.

ethan's team tried again. they got the ball, and ran. but one again, they were shot down. the clock ticked down, and the final buzzer went. the other team started cheering and jumping on each other.

you watched as ethan and his team tore their helmets off, and walked over to the bench. they all looked really sad, some looked angry at themselves.

the two teams lined up to get their medals. ethan's team got silver of course, because they came in second place.

the crowd was allowed to come down to the field, so you, grayson, and cameron all made your way down. you ran over to ethan, and wrapped him in a hug.

"it's okay, ethan. you tried your best." you mumbled into his shoulder as he hugged you back.

"i didn't try hard enough though." ethan replied. you pulled away, and wiped a few rain drops off his cheeks. you were sure that some of them were also tears.

"it's okay. you're still my favourite player."

"i'm the only football player you know." ethan snapped. you took a step back, slightly scared by the way ethan was acting. you backed up right into grayson's chest, and turned around to look at him as he started yelling at his brother.

"take it easy, bud. we get that you're upset but don't take it out on y/n." grayson defended you.

"oh, so now you two are together?" ethan asked. he shook his head, and started walking away.

grayson ran up behind his brother, and tackled him to the ground.  you watched in shock as they wrestled on the ground, each of them getting stained from the wet grass.

"wait, stop!" you yelled, and tried to pull grayson away. it was no use though, he was too strong.

"just let them go, they do this all the time." grayson's sister cameron, said into your ear as you stood up. you nodded, and continued watching your boyfriend and best friend. eventually grayson got off ethan, and pulled him up. they were both laughing, and did a little hand shake.

"told you we'd freak her out." grayson said, chuckling.

"i'm sorry, babe. i wasn't mad at you." ethan grinned. you realized it had all been a joke.

"i hate you guys." you mumbled. ethan walked over to you, and pulled you in for a hug. he kissed your cheek and neck multiple times, until you hugged him back.

"i may have come second place on the field, but i definitely won with you." ethan mumbled in your ear.

"whatever, ethan."
