**Especially You** is an alternate-history football fanfiction set during the 2026 World Cup.
Jude Bellingham and Erling Haaland were teammates at Dortmund six years ago. Something grew between them that neither of them named, and one careless night ended it before it ever properly started. They went their separate ways - different clubs, different countries, different lives. Erling built something with someone else. Jude built nothing with anyone, which he told himself was fine.
Then England drew Norway in the quarterfinals.
What follows is a story about two people finding their way back to each other across six years of silence, bad timing, and things left unsaid.

You, Me & Everything Else
Erling Braut Haaland & Jude Bellingham know exactly where the line is, Cameras. Interviews. Teammates. Expectations. Half of their lives are for the public, and the other half is just for the two of them. Hidden between late nights after training, quiet conversations, and moments no one else is meant to witness, they build a relationship that has no place under the stadium lights. As their fame lives everywhere, keeping their secret may become just as difficult as ignoring the feelings that brought them together in the first place.Complete
"Is the baby mine?"
Haaland gripped Bellingham's hand tightly to keep him from slipping away again. "Is that baby mine?" He asked with a serious look and a cold voice; he just wanted him to tell the truth for once. Jude bit his lip, refusing to speak, since Erling already had a girlfriend and a child. Making an adaptation in English, thanks to bluemeli_77
The Dostmund Duo: Hearts across the pitch (Bellinghamxhaaland)
This heartfelt boys' love sports story follows Jude Bellingham and Erling Haaland-once inseparable teammates at Borussia Dortmund, who grew closer through shared wins, quiet care, and slowly revealed love. When duty pulls them to different leagues and opposing paths, they meet again as fierce rivals on the pitch. They fight hard against each other, chase the same trophies, and stand on opposite sides of every match-but no matter how much they compete, how far apart their careers take them, or how tough the game gets, their love for one another never fades.
Love in Extra Time
Football has always been simple: train hard, win matches, never let emotions get in the way. At least, that's what everyone told them. When two talented players end up on the same team, they're forced to work together despite clashing from day one. Every practice turns into a competition, every match into another reason to prove who's better. But somewhere between late-night training sessions, bus rides, shared victories, and heartbreaking losses, the line between rivalry and something more begins to blur. Falling for your teammate was never part of the game. And with scholarships, dreams, family expectations, and the fear of what everyone else might think, love becomes the biggest risk either of them has ever taken. Because sometimes the most important moments don't happen in the first ninety minutes. Sometimes, love begins in extra time.
More than Rivals
At seventeen, Jude Bellingham leaves England behind to chase his dream at Borussia Dortmund, where an unexpected friendship with Erling Haaland changes everything. As their bond slowly grows into something deeper, they must navigate the pressures of professional football, media scrutiny, injuries, and life-changing transfers. To the world, they are rivals competing at the highest level-but behind closed doors, they're trying to find themselves and each other. A slow-burn romance about love, ambition, and choosing your own path. #1 in erlinghaaland #1 in dortmundComplete
