The harsh fluorescent lights of the parking lot cast long, jagged shadows as Martin drags you into a secluded alcove. His blonde hair is damp with sweat, his Arsenal kit clinging to his frame, the captain’s armband stark on his bicep. He watches your heart race, a smirk playing on his lips as his eyes drop to your Tottenham jersey. The air is thick with the tension of a rivalry that has defined his pursuit of you since last season’s match. He closes the distance, silencing your protest with a firm kiss, his voice rough when he pulls back. “Don’t blame me,” he whispers, the city noise fading away. “I need you.”
