Football Imagines

'Be Mine?' - Erik Durm

Something really alike the last imagine I wrote,but still slightly different :)

Enjoy :)

--------

Flashback: three years ago:

It was the day you were about to tell him everything about how you felt. You were about to admit your feelings towards your best friend Erik who was about to come over at your place in a few minutes. 

You were nervous. Your palms were sweating,you were shaking,you suddenly lost your apetite and you just wanted to end with all of it. 

You two met in kindergarden and been best friends since then. But after a few years your feelings had changed and you fell in love. Guess you were the one that "lost the friendship game" and started feeling something more... Love.

- Irene?! - he entered the hallway.

- In the kitchen! - you shouted.

- Hey. I missed you.-he hugged you.- Anyway,I have some great news. 

-Yes?

- I've been invited to Borussia Dortmund!

- You mean.. To play there? In Dortmund? Another...City?

-Yeah. Aren't you excited? - he was so happy but you were broken.

All of your hopes "fell down the well".

-Well,when are you leaving?

- Next week.

-Oh... Good luck. - your eyes were full of tears.

- Irene... I know you're sad and probably angry because this is too sudden and fast,but... -he tried to hugged you again.

You pushed him away.

-You know what? - you cut him off. - You should go home. Now. 

- What? Why? - he was confused.

-Just..Go. Okay? It's better for all of us.

-Irene...

-Just go Erik! Leave! - you couldn't even look at him at the moment.

He left.

The next and the last time you saw him was at his farewell party the night before he left.

2015. :

You were sitting on the bed in your room and reading the last letter from you got from Erik...

" Dear Irene,

I know you probably don't want to talk to me after everything that happened when I told you about Borussia.I don't know why you got so angry,I didn't understand it because I was too excited and I didn't think about how you felt that day. I'm so sorry. I was sad about leaving you and my friends and family,but happy because there were new,big chances ahead of me and I couldn't refuse them. I hope you'll understand one day. 

Anyway,I met a lot of amazing people here. The other players are so talented and amazing. I'm kind of afraid I will never play as good as them,but my coach says I'm getting better day by day. The head coach,Jurgen Klopp,is so cool! He is great! He is like a father to all of us,really. I met Mats Hummels and Marco Reus,you know,the 'hot ones',as you called them,and we're really close. I think we're becoming best friends.

I miss you so much,Irene,I really am. I miss you more day by day. I wish you were here to see me play and cheer for me. I remember how you came to my play-offs before. I miss that. I will send you one of our jerseys (signed by all the other players of course) so you can remember me... And because I know you won't stop bragging about it if I don't,so... I really want you to know that I will never forget you and I'm coming there on my hollidays,okay?

Your best friend,

                                                                         Erik Durm".

This made you cry. He was about to come in any minute and you couldn't wait to just hug him and tell him you missed him a lot. 

A knock on the door. It was him.

-Irene?- a smile on his face. 

He was carrying a big bag in his hands.

-Erik! - you jumped in his arms and he swirled you around the room. - God,I missed you so f-in much.

-I missed you too,Irene. A lot.

-How's Borussia?

-It's going great,actually. I love it there. And I'm taking you with me next time,okay? I want you to be there.

-Deal. 

You talked about some random stuff for hours,but then you had to tell him. It has been a long time and he had to know.

-Erik,I have something I need to tell you.

-Actually,let me say something first.

-But this is import...-he cut you off.

-I like you.

-Erik....

-I know you probably don't feel the same way but you need to know and...-you cut him off,too,but with a kiss.

-I like you too,silly.

-Irene..I'm so happy right now.

-That's what I wanted to tell you. For three years. But you left and I never got a chance.

-But now I'm here. And you said it. Now...Kiss me again.

-You bet I will. Btw,what's in the bag?

-Remember the jersey I promised you?
