Mutuals // Toni Kroos

chapter three. crash into me.

After about 3 shots, I was already feeling tipsy and that was an understatement. I didn't drink much so my tolerance levels were extremely low and judging by the way things were going I knew I was about to lose this round.

I could hear everyone cheering everytime one of us gulped down a shot but Toni was definitely getting more of it. I sneaked a peek at him and he looked perfectly alright to me. He didn't look like he was even a little dizzy while I felt like I was going to pass out after gulping my fourth one.

"I can't." I finally whispered, trying my best to balance myself. The alcohol had started working and I felt lightheaded, not being able to make much sense of things. You could definitely say that it was a pathetic performance but that's what you get when you aren't much of a party person.

"That was weak, kiddo." Isco shook his head as he ruffled my hair. "You really need to step up your game 'cause Kroos here is a beast at this."

I looked at Toni and he gave me a smirk in return. "Ha. I win."

Even though my brain was cloudy, I could make out Sergio's laugh from the Real Madrid squad and I pouted at him. "Hey! Don't laugh at me! I can still have some more!" I reached my hand out for a glass but Iker held my hand firmly. "No can do." He glared at me and I giggled at his face.

Cristiano made his way over to Toni and lifted his hand up in victory. "We have our champion here!"

Hoots and whistles erupted all over the place and I groaned as my head started hurting a little and I felt the overwhelming urge to throw up in addition to feeling like I could conquer the world.

"Guys, I don't think I'm feeling that well." I managed to get out before stumbling behind.

Javier caught hold of me before I went down and I sheepishly grinned at him. "You have pretty eyelashes."

He widened his eyes at me and I chuckled whilst he was still holding me in an awkward position. He gently placed me on a chair and I frowned. "I no like this chair." This made Javier and a few others chuckle.

"I think we need to get her home. You know what happened last time." Iker stated, analyzing the whole situation.

"What happened?" Toni, James and Javier asked in unison. Of course, the three were new here so they weren't quite aware of all the things that had happened before not that I wanted them to but my alcohol clouded brain thought otherwise.

"Well she basically gave someone a lap dance and strip teased while dancing on a table." Sergio shrugged and I shrugged.

"Really?" James' eyes widened.

"Maybe we should let her have a little more." Javier cheekily replied and while I nodded in agreement, everyone else glared at him which quietened him down.

"I'll take her home." Isco offered. "The party is over anyways."

"No, don't worry. I'll take her." Toni butt in which made me giggle again.

Isco gave Toni a questioning glance which would make anyone reconsider their life choices but Toni was holding his ground pretty well. "You barely know her." He eventually reasoned to the german.

"I know her enough." Toni said, an underlying irritation pretty evident in his words.

Isco was just about to open his mouth when I felt the alcohol speaking. "I want to go with him." I muttered, pointing towards Toni. I could feel everyone's eyes trained on me which was downright terrifying.

It wasn't quite a hidden fact that I liked Isco, it was clear to everyone except him. But eventually I had to let go no matter how painful it would be and if this was a start then so be it.

Damn my alcohol filled brain was more rational than my normal self.

"Are you sure?" Sara, Iker's girlfriend squeezed my shoulder and I giggled making everyone groan.

"Just take care of yourself." Cristiano said, patting Toni on his back. " She can be a handful."

"I heard that, idiot!" I frowned at him which made him shake his head. "Just take her home."

"What about her car?" Iker questioned, looking thoughtful as he probably mentally ticked everything to be taken care of.

"About that..." Toni scratched the back of his head in nervousness. "It'll need to be towed."

"Towed?" Gareth asked, "Why?"

"He crashy into my car." I accused Toni and everyone gave Toni a shocked look who had suddenly found his boots interesting.

"You need to-" I could feel Isco's anger coming up and now I regretted saying anything but trust me when I say that it was the alcohol speaking.

"I was late, I'm sorry!" Toni put his hands up in defence.

"Were you hurt?!" Iker quickly rushed to stand beside Sara and I shook my head.

"Dude. What the hell?!" Isco erupted, stepping towards Toni whilst he took a step back.

Cristiano and James firmly pulled Isco back while he struggled to let go but eventually gave in.

"It was an accident. I'm a good driver, I swear." Toni waved his arm to prove a point.

The atmosphere has certainly become tense in the last ten minutes and you could feel it in the air as some people shifted uncomfortably.

"We'll take Aya back while one of you can arrange for a tow truck in the morning." Sara said, trying to break the tension.

Eventually Isco huffed but agreed to her anyways.

Slowly but surely everyone started leaving the hotel and with Toni and Iker's support, I made an effort to walk but every now and then tripped and stumbled.

We were the last four people on the driveway once Isco and Gareth left.

"Shit." Iker cursed. "It's past midnight and Martin's babysitter would be expecting us any moment. Aya's house is on the opposite side of the city."

"I'll take her." Toni offered again and this time Iker couldn't turn him down.

"Fine. But you need to text me once she reaches safely and when you reach safely. Don't 'crashy' this time." Iker joked but there was an evident warning in his tone.

"Aye, aye, captain!" Isco playfully saluted with his free hand.

"Bye!" Sara yelled out and Iker waved at us as they made their way to their car and eventually drove out of the parking lot.

Picking me up bridal style, Toni walked to his car while I snuggled into his warm body. It was cold and he felt like home.
