today was the euro 2022 finals. england vs germany

you see you were apart of the england team, position being centre forward meaning you were sought upon to score. you were nervous, excited and proud. proud of the lionesses for getting this far. excited because this is possibly a once in a lifetime oppurtinity - hopefully not though and finally nervous because there are eighty-seven thousand of people watching your every move

normally you had your girlfriend, florence, in the crowd for you to draw some mental strength from but today flo was all the way in the north of scotland shooting another series so wasn't able to make it

as of now you were with georgia stanway, lauren hemp and the rest of the squad getting changed and starting to warm up

"it sucks your girl can't watch today" stanway sighs and pats your shoulder. you hum as you finish tying your boots up

bumblebee

good luck, my love!!

i'm so so sorry i couldn't make it but you're going to smash it, i just know it!!! <3

thank you, bubs <3

good luck with all your scenes today

love you lots xx

love you more! x

mmm, not possible!

once all tied up you stand "it's cool, she's at work and i'm proud of her. this project she's working on sounds big so" you shrug. bright ruffles your ponytail making you have to readjust it

not giving your friends any more time to respond sarina comes in and starts her little motivational speech

~

it was 1-1 and things were tense, two minutes left meant there would probably be half an hour extra time

both england and germany were exhausted. you received a yellow card because you were tripped up and fell into a german. the referee was out of bounds, you didn't deserve the yellow card. serena tried to back your corner but the ref stuck to their judgement

utter bullshit in the fans opinion

at full time the score was still 1-1

~l

the second half of extra time was near it's end and you needed to score

a corner was about to be taken. as everyone was moving into place you took a glance into the crowds just hoping you'd somehow spot your favourite blonde but alas your search was cut short as the ball was kicked

it was almost too fast, the ball was in the box. you had possession and took your shot, it deflected off the keeper and you almost tripped reaching it a second time but by tapping it it rolled into the goal

the crowd started to scream and cheer as it took a second for you actually register you scored. it took chloe kelly jumping on your back for it all to kick in

you've just scored the possible winning goal of the euro finals

running across the pitch you slide onto your knees, cheering into sky

again you looked for your girlfriend but got piled upon by the likes of toone, russo, and hemp

~

the extra time ran dry and the score was 2-1. england won

ENGLAND WON

the crowd tripled in volume as you all started running into eachother, screaming

you ran to all your friends who were on the bench, meeting them halfway and finally embracing serina in a big hug, lifting her up a little

a rainbow england flag was thrown at you so you took it and used it as a cape

another tap on your shoulder cause you to turn around

"i think you've got a friend in the front row!" millie shouted so you could hear, pointing to behind her. looking over her shoulder is where your girl was stood, jumping up and down, cheering

wasting no time you ran, not noticing the big screen on you running with your rainbow flag

finally reaching your girlfriend just behind the barrier you picked her up and span her around, not caring about anyone else

"well done, my love" she too screamed as you put her down. tears of joy began to spring in your eyes. her arms swung to your shoulders and gave you a long loving kiss, pulling away she called it a 'victory kiss'

"i'm so fucking happy your here" you weren't going to question how she was actually here right now, you just enjoyed her presence

with a smirk flo looked behind you and saw pretty much half the team tumbling towards you

a few seconds of just staring into her green eyes you were pinned to the ground and piled upon for the second time today

j scott informed florence like she hadn't watched the match front the front row the whole match "she got the winning goal!!"

"i'm so proud of her! all of you were fucking brilliant"

~

with one final kiss she pushed you away "go get that trophy"

~

walking into the changing room after it all, holding two new trophies, player of the tournament and the golden boot, you saw flo sat on the bench

when you slumped down next to her, placing the trophies under the bench, she straddled you. your hands fell to her hips

a kiss to your nose "i'm" a kiss to your cheek "so" your other cheek "so" your forehead "proud" and finally a kiss to your lips "of you"

rubbing your thumbs on her hips, you nuzzled your head into the crook of her neck "thank you"

she gently took your hair out of it's bun and started massaging your aching scalp

"you brought football home"
