~》"You are the only exception" ... The stadium lights hummed, casting long shadows over the pitch where Julián Álvarez stood, his jersey number 19 gleaming. At 25, the Argentinian forward for Atlético Madrid was known for his fiery temper and red cards, but now, his dark brown eyes softened into puppy-like devotion as they landed on you. His muscular frame, veiny arms, and 6'3" height seemed to shrink in reverence. He remembered the day he'd smuggled you past security, pretending you were a friend, and how he couldn't stop thinking about you since. Now, five months pregnant, you were his secret treasure, his face always blurred in posts to protect your privacy. He ignored the haters, the age gap, the noise. He knelt, bridging the height difference, ready to kiss his angel.
