    <content type="html">&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Title: &lt;/b&gt;Going wrong (Part 1)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Characters:&lt;/b&gt; Fernando Torres, Xabi Alonso, Daniel Agger, Jamie Carragher,&amp;nbsp;Steven Gerrard,&amp;nbsp;Sergio Ramos, Carles Puyol, David Villa (he's mentioned in this part, but you'll not notice).. Others will be presented in the next part. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Pairings:&lt;/b&gt; Fernando Torres / Sergio Ramos (even if it might seem that it’s going to be Fernando Torres / Daniel Agger).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Summary:&lt;/b&gt; AU!Fic… A 21 years old Fernando, first year in University, falls in love with Daniel Agger, but the latter feels nothing towards Fernando. Fernando didn’t think there’s a way to get out of his 5 months-long obsession… Until Sergio Ramos, a guy who he used to fight with on net over football, walks slowly into his life and heart. &lt;a href="http://nis-roma.livejournal.com/69099.html"&gt;More details on plot&lt;/a&gt;…&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Words:&lt;/strong&gt; 2,187&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Rating: &lt;/strong&gt;PG&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Disclaimer:&lt;/strong&gt; As far as I know, these are footballers, so nothing is true, ect ect.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;b&gt;A/N:&lt;/b&gt; This story happened, but not to these guys. I dunno if I got the characters right, as I’m using my own characters… plus its ages since I wrote a thing. My first AU, so please be kind. Feedback is love, and I’m open for suggestions. Also, huge thanks to my flist, coz they gave me the courage to post this :) and ummm. I think I need a beta, so if anyone is interested… just let me know in the comment. &amp;nbsp;Oh, and the fic starts on 1&lt;sup&gt;st&lt;/sup&gt; October, 2007. Any references to Champions league games really happened. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;*&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;a name="cutid1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="ljcut" text="Part 1..."&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;Grabbing his keys from the table, Fernando walked out of his house. On the way he made sure he had everything with him; the blank time-table he printed, which Xabi sent him over MSN, the letter that was sent to him from the University and all the other needs. With the iPod earphones inside his ears, he waited for bus to arrive, listening to a random song. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;He had had enough of school, and wanted to rest for a long time. After almost three years of doing nothing, he decided to try University. What frightened him mostly was being left alone; that’s why he didn’t continue school. In high school, he spent his last year with only one friend. If that friend was absent, he would remain alone for the whole day. It wasn’t that he wasn’t friendly, but he met with the wrong persons. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;With the music inside his ears he didn’t hear the mobile, but he saw its light when it beeped. He opened the new message, which was Xabi asking him if he woke up. Smiling, Fernando typed the reply and put his mobile back in his pocket. The bus arrived; he gave the driver the money and took the ticket. As he usually does, he went to sit near the window. The bus moved and looking out of the windows, Fernando wondered if he’ll manage to make new friends. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;i&gt;At least it’s a start there’s Xabi&lt;/i&gt;, he smiled to himself. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;After a few minutes, Fernando stepped out of the bus. He walked while he typed another message to Xabi and stopped by the gate. Looking around he saw so many confident students, all laughing and talking. After a couple of minutes he saw Xabi, grinning at him. He smiled shyly, and followed him into what will become a challenge to him. He was going to make new friends finally, after three years. It was time to get out of his shell.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;As Xabi was climbing the few stairs, which would take you to the University foyer, he stopped midway. Fernando stopped right behind him and looked around. Xabi started talking to some random girl and for Fernando, time seemed to stop. Then there was this boy who was laughing, a laugh which made his insides melt uncomfortably. As he blinked, Xabi turned to talk to this boy.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;“Fernando, this is Daniel. Daniel, this is Fernando,” Xabi said, almost too quickly, with a smirk.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;Daniel held his hands out and Fernando shook it, smiling shyly like he usually do, but this time it was a different. He felt himself blushing, maybe just because Daniel can become his first friend, besides Xabi. But, he didn’t have to blush, did he? He had to make new friends now. Xabi introduced him to Jamie and Steven as well, but this time it was normal. No handshaking, just a wave. The day passed, Fernando went around the blocks to write his time-table, with the help of Xabi. He was quiet when he was around them, he wasn’t hundred percent himself and that thought made him angry with himself. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;The first three days for the first years were free, so they can get used to the school. He went around with Xabi, to discover how the place worked. They went several times to the canteen with Daniel, Steven, Jamie and a girl. Everyone was talking, joking and laughing, and he was still quiet. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Why is this happening again&lt;/i&gt;, he thought. &lt;i&gt;Can’t I have friends whom I feel comfortable with?&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;Twice Xabi tried to insert him in the conversation, with no results. When Xabi began his lectures, he left and went home. On the bus he thought of how uncomfortable he felt and then, there was this Daniel. He had something special in Fernando’s eyes. But Fernando shook his head, he can’t &lt;i&gt;like&lt;/i&gt; &lt;i&gt;him&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;*&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;As he arrived home he went directly on the computer (like he usually does). Signed in on MSN, checked emails, set his status to busy and started to play. He really tried to concentrate on the game, but his mind kept thinking of Daniel and his laugh. After three hours of playing, he clicked the quit button and went back on MSN, to see that Sergio Ramos messaged him.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;i&gt;This year the greatest team of the world (i.e. Real Madrid) is going to beat Atléti-&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;Fernando didn’t even continue to read; he clicked on the red cross button and ignored him. He surely wasn’t in the mood of another argument with Sergio now, because that’s how it usually ends between him and Sergio. He still doesn’t know who the heck this Sergio is. He met him over the net and from the day he added him on msn, they never had a decent conversation. They always end up fighting on Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid. But that’s how they &lt;i&gt;met&lt;/i&gt;: when Fernando was lurking around on Hi5 and he clicked on Sergio’s profile. There he saw a comment posted, with a picture against &lt;i&gt;his&lt;/i&gt; Atlético. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;Fernando, being Fernando, replied to that comment, and heck. From that day Sergio wouldn’t stop tormenting him on MSN. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;Fernando was lost in thoughts, when the usual msn sign-in beep was heard. &lt;i&gt;Xabi signed in.&lt;/i&gt; Click. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;They talked, Fernando’s heart beating faster than usual, and he didn’t know the reason. Then Xabi asked a question, which he dreaded, which made his heart miss a beat.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;i&gt;What do you think of Daniel?&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;Fernando blinked, while he thought of a response. He couldn’t tell his current closest friend that his best friend made his insides melt. Telling him that he seems a nice guy though was a good reply. At least, he thought so. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Mmm okay, good,&lt;/i&gt; Xabi wrote, together with a smiley face. Fernando thought he was dead. He couldn’t ask what that means, because he was afraid of the reply. Afraid of being disappointed… Afraid of finally winning something he wanted, even though he still didn’t know how much he liked him. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;*&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Tomorrow first lecture&lt;/i&gt;… Fernando made sure he packed his semi-empty bag with things he needed, while thinking how could the first lecture be&lt;i&gt;. I wonder if I see him tomorrow... Arghh…&lt;/i&gt; He couldn’t stop thinking about that guy, who had a unique smile. As he rested his head on the pillow, his mind still thinking about how his life changed in one day, he closed his eyes. &lt;i&gt;I still can’t understand what I feel for him though&lt;/i&gt;, he kept thinking. Shy is a word that describes Fernando, and that connects him to Daniel, because Daniel acted as if he was shy around Fernando. They never talked in the previous three days, even though they exchanged glances. &lt;i&gt;Maybe&lt;/i&gt;…&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;Quarter past six in the morning, and Fernando’s alarm started to ring. Waking up almost too quickly, he went directly to the bathroom, and took a quick shower. As the water hit his face, an image came to his mind. He couldn’t believe that he thinks of this guy twenty four hours a day. At least he didn’t dream of him, for now. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;When he was ready from everything, as a normal routine he checked he had everything; mobile, money, iPod, keys plus his bag. He couldn’t tell he wasn’t excited and nervous, his heart could be felt beating faster than the normal rate. As he chewed a gum to calm his nerves, he inserted the earphones in his ears, to hear the usual songs. He would go nowhere without his iPod, or at least something that keeps him from staring at others, because if he hated something, it would be those people who stare. At quarter past eight he was already climbing those stairs for the fourth time, where he shook Daniel’s hand. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;He immediately met with Xabi, who was still alone. They sat down as they started a conversation on the Champions league games, which were played the day before. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;“… And I tell you, you should have seen Dida, he could be a good actor…” he was saying giggling, discussing Milan’s game against Celtic.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;Fernando though, wasn’t paying much attention. He was looking around, looking for &lt;i&gt;someone&lt;/i&gt;. The only two things that mattered for him that moment were Daniel and the first lecture. He hated that Daniel mattered to him. Hated it. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;“Daniel!” shouted Xabi, while waving. Fernando looked at the direction which Xabi was looking at, where he immediately spotted Daniel. He walked towards them smiling, and Fernando could feel his heart beating faster and faster with every step that he was taking. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;“Did you see Milan Celtic yesterday?” asked Xabi, as though that’s the only thing that mattered to him.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;He couldn’t believe it, but… He admitted to himself now, he was falling in love with Daniel and his smile. And maybe a little too much. He didn’t fall in love since a long time, and it always hurt him. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;“…like this…” was Xabi saying, as he touched Daniel’s face to show him something. When Xabi finished, Daniel was laughing and saying something, which Fernando didn’t understand as he didn’t follow the discussion. He was secretly inspecting Daniel’s lips, which seemed to be poisonous in his opinion. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;*&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;As nine o’clock was coming close, they started to walk towards the stairs to go to their classrooms. Fernando still wasn’t sure how were the classes placed, so he just followed. As he waved goodbye to them, he didn’t notice that Daniel didn’t wave or at least say ‘bye’. If he did, maybe he would’ve prevented his heart from breaking. He was excited and slightly worried about his first lecture. After three years, he was going to start studying again. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;He looked around and saw a couple of shy first years, in front of room 146, waiting timidly for their lecturer. He could sense that they were nervous like him and as the lecturer finally arrived, everything seemed to become easier for them. But Fernando was still a bit nervous. He placed himself at the back of the room, together with a boy who asked him something outside the room. While he tried to pay attention to the teacher and the boy simultaneously, because heck, the boy wouldn’t shut up, a billion of thoughts were running inside his mind. &lt;i&gt;Daniel, next lesson, Daniel, my three hour break, friends, Daniel. Why is Daniel becoming so freaking important, after only four days?&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;As the lecturer dismissed the class, he ran to find his computing class because he thought he was late. &lt;i&gt;Room 227&lt;/i&gt;, he read on his time table. He entered the room which was almost empty; the lecturer still didn’t arrive. Now he felt calmer than before, as he was getting used to being at school again. &lt;i&gt;I might get used to this system, plus new friends and who knows, Daniel… &lt;/i&gt;His thoughts were interrupted by a boy, who set by his side.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;“Hi, can I sit here or is anyone-?” he began asking.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;“No no, you can sit,” said Fernando smiling.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;“My name is Carles,” he said enthusiastically.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;“Fernando,” he replied with the thought that this Carles might be one of his friends already. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;“I’ve been terrified because in this class I had no friends,” Carles said while he got out his pocket.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;“Me too, actually I have no friends in every class, I know no one.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;“Really? No, I know people…”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;They immediately started to talk, while Fernando finally relaxed and his day seemed to get better and better. After that lecture he had Maths, where he noticed that he’s not the only one who was panicked. A boy who came about five minutes late seemed to be more nervous than how was Fernando at the start of his day. As Fernando saw this boy, he wanted to help him but he didn’t get the courage to talk to him. &lt;i&gt;Oh well&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;*&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;His first day at school ended quickly, even though he was slightly disappointed. In his three hours break he went to home, where he relaxed a bit. Then for the last two lessons, which were both computing, he was alone, as Carles decided to find another guy, whom he knew before. As Fernando was alone packing his things, he just sighed. &lt;i&gt;Maybe it won’t be that easy to become close to anyone&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;Friday, his second day at school, was more interesting. He had Spanish with a teacher, who happened to be a fanatic of football and Barcelona. He even asked if someone likes football, where Fernando proudly replied that he supported Atlético (to which he got an ‘at least not Real Madrid’, a huge rant about it and an Atlético boy nickname). &amp;nbsp;His last lecture was computing again, where he met with Carles again, who told him to sit next to him if he wants. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;“Hey, if you want, you can sit with me anytime you like,” Carles said smiling. He even introduced Fernando to another guy.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;At the end of the week he was hopeful again. Hopeful that he can make new friends, hopeful that he can have fun at University… He didn’t know about Daniel, but he didn’t want to think.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;*&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;To be continued…&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content>

Not to these guys of course, they were never in the true story. But it did happen to &lt;i&gt;someone&lt;/i&gt;. Some things were changed; like dates, football clubs, people (of course), events and the ending, so that it would fit. It’s my first AU fic, and my first writing after months, almost a year. &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;font size="1"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;font size="1"&gt;Plot:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;font size="1"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;font size="1"&gt;This is an AU fic, which mainly centers on Fernando Torres, a 21 year old boy, who passed the previous 3 years home playing on computer and doing almost nothing. After finishing high school, he spent his days playing on computer and helping his mother, because she was ill. He had only a few friends, those who he’d only talk to them online, like Xabi Alonso (his closest friend) and Sergio Ramos (he didn’t actually talk to him, he fought with him). He always found it difficult to make friends, especially after he met with wrong people, who used him and re-used him. His last year in high school was hell for him: he had only one friend, and they weren’t even close… They were just school friends. But when this friend was absent, Fernando passed his whole day at school alone. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;font size="1"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;font size="1"&gt;When he started to talk to Xabi on MSN, he told him how fantastic University can be: &lt;i&gt;the best place to make friends&lt;/i&gt;. So Fernando’s interest grew, especially when Xabi promised to help him with everything. In his mind he was sure that he’ll pass his free time with Xabi and his friends. Then maybe he’ll even make new friends, and who know, &lt;i&gt;someone might fall in love with him&lt;/i&gt;. As he started university though, everything was the contrary…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Facts:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* The name of the fic was taken from a song, Going Wrong by Armin Van Buuren. The lyrics will fit perfectly at the end of the series, and the song will be mentioned. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;a href="http://es.youtube.com/watch?v=G7qEivYkgZM"&gt;&lt;font size="1"&gt;Video here&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;font size="1"&gt;. &lt;a href="http://www.sendspace.com/file/qlsrct"&gt;Download song here&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://artists.letssingit.com/armin-van-buuren-lyrics-going-wrong-bn9qlqp"&gt;Lyrics here&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;* The pairing Fernando Torres / Sergio Ramos will not happen immediately. It's gonna take like three parts before it is mentioned. I will try and keep the Fernando Torres / Daniel Agger implied short.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;* Many songs will be mentioned during the fic. I will upload every one of them here. I use the songs because I believe that some have lyrics that really can be used in real life.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;* This fic is usually written after midnight, coz that's when my bunnies decide to start working (especially after a shower). I'm writing it from my heart, really from deep down, and sometimes it hurts to write some things. So I hope&amp;nbsp;you like it.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;* This entry will be updated with&amp;nbsp;new facts, songs and&amp;nbsp;links to parts. Hopefully. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://nis-roma.livejournal.com/69156.html#cutid1"&gt;Part 1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">So. I never thought I'll make a friends cut, but when I saw that some of you never update, I did one. Now I feel I need to cut those people who are in my list and I don't read. I'm sorry, but if I don't read you, it's not fair for you. And I guess you do not read neither, so it's not fair on me as I talk about things and I'm kinda sharing them with you. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If someone wants to re-added, you're more then welcome, I will make an effort to read if you do. But to those who feel like me, I just want to say bye, it was nothing against you, I just needed to clear my f-list.

Your eyes fall on the frames which are hung on one side of the wall. In the first frame there’s a girl in a violet outfit with a lady which is wearing a hat and a suit. &lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal"&gt;It must have been an important occasion&lt;/i&gt; you think. The girl was surely the same one that was in front of you, she still has the same smile. You look at the three frames which are in the middle of the wall. There are two boys, wearing the same shirt and shorts, and a baby girl, wearing a white dress. You briefly at the other frames and you take that she has two brothers.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; FONT-FAMILY: &amp;#39;Arial&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; FONT-FAMILY: &amp;#39;Arial&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;"&gt;“You’re curious,” she remarked as she began to climb the stairs.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; FONT-FAMILY: &amp;#39;Arial&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; FONT-FAMILY: &amp;#39;Arial&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;"&gt;“Uh-yeah.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; FONT-FAMILY: &amp;#39;Arial&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; FONT-FAMILY: &amp;#39;Arial&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;"&gt;When you’re on the second floor she asks you if you want something to drink. You nod and she enters in a room, which you suppose it the kitchen, from where she brings two glasses and a bottle of orange juice. You follow her as she climbs the stairs once again and when you’re on the third floor she stops. You look around, noticing that there are four doors and a computer in front of a door. That door has a Roma badge attached on it and it’s the door she moves towards to. &lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal"&gt;Italian?&lt;/i&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; FONT-FAMILY: &amp;#39;Arial&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; FONT-FAMILY: &amp;#39;Arial&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;"&gt;When you enter the room you don’t believe your eyes: Roma posters on the wardrobe and wall, few Chelsea posters on the opposite wall and Liverpool posters on the other wall. There’s even an Arsenal player hung, and on the bed there are some Real Madrid pictures too.

    <content type="html">&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Title&lt;/strong&gt;: I don't wanna hear your name&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Words&lt;/strong&gt;: 1,318&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Rating&lt;/strong&gt;: R [I’m kinda bad at rating, so this might also be PG-13 anyway look at warnings]&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Warnings&lt;/strong&gt;: A depressed Xabi, of course there’s many swearing and slight mention of sex.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Disclaimer&lt;/strong&gt;: If I owned these guys, I wouldn’t be writing these fics xD. In other words, this is not true.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Summary&lt;/strong&gt;: Xabi and Stevie had a fight; Xabi went back to his house thinking that he hates him now. He is desperate, confused and broken. Until…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name="cutid1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="ljcut" text="I don't wanna hear your name..."&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;u&gt;Xabi’s POV&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I was walking back to my house, feeling... I didn't know how... I couldn't do anything; I just knew it will happen. I went up the stairs and sat on a chair, head in my hands, thinking of him. A tear left my eyes, I knew everything was over. I just couldn't bear it. I knew he's right, but it's fucken too hard to admit it. He's been trying to arrange our situation for these past months, but he couldn't... He couldn't do much; he had the wedding, he has his children, and still he tried. And I was selfish enough to shout at him. But... I did it for him. I... couldn't. I felt like I wanted to die. Yeah. But still, I couldn't. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I shall carry on with my life. I sat up and walked into the shower. I needed to wash myself, I felt... So dirty. I put soap on me, but it didn't help. I still felt dirty. Then I thought of him again. His fucken smile brought back into my mind. His fucken voice trembling into my mind, moaning and whispering my name each time I kiss him and... Well. And then... Thinking of his smile and voice isn't enough. I couldn't help but think of the shivers, straight to my back, as he touches me, kisses me from top to bottom. I could hear my heart, shouting &lt;i&gt;stop it, I’m already broken&lt;/i&gt; but I couldn’t help it. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I stepped out of the shower, dressed and went out. Again. In the bloody wind. It was fucken cold, my bones were hurting and my body wanted to collapse, but this is exactly what I wanted. It’s nothing near to what my heart felt. I walked and walked. I didn’t know where my legs were leading me to, but I didn’t care; I just wanted to get away, forever. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Thinking and thinking, I didn’t see the few people around me, some staring, others whispering. I just walked, until I bumped into someone... Someone who looked familiar, but I couldn’t focus well. As he talked I recognized him. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;It was Luis who said: “Xabi?” in a worried tone. I just nodded, trying to look away to hide my miserable face. But he knew me too well. He knew everything, from a to z. That means also the… the… well yeah, &lt;i&gt;him&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;“What’s wrong?” he asked in a more worried tone. This time looked down at my shoes. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;“Xabi?” he asked again. “Xabi, is it &lt;i&gt;him&lt;/i&gt;?” I looked at him and then looked around. The few people who were staring at me disappeared, and now we were alone. I nodded slowly, feeling more desperate. I couldn’t talk, I just… felt like my heart was thrown away. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;“I’m sorry,” he told me, sadness showing in his face too. I couldn’t resist anymore, I let a tear escape again. He opened his arms and hugged me, and I cracked up. I sobbed my heart out. I cried so much that I felt sick. Luis was great. He hugged me and patted my back. He consoled me as a good friend would. He told me that everything will be fine like parents do. He’s just… Great.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;After a couple of minutes of non-stop crying, I looked up at Luis, with my face still wetted and my eyes red and swollen, and thanked him. He came home with me and ate with me. I was feeling better but then as he left, I felt sad again. Luis didn’t ask for explanations, didn’t ask what happened, didn’t know if we broke up or just fought, but he helped me a lot. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I went to my room, hugged my pillow and tried to sleep. No way. I closed my eyes, trying to push memories off my mind, but it didn’t work. I kept thinking about those magic moments. At the abandoned park, at this house, on this bed… This bed… This was what was making me think of him again. I grabbed the quilt and went in the living room. I sat on the sofa and slept there. Well, slept… I tried to sleep there. Again I couldn’t sleep well, but at least I didn’t have those kinds of memories. The memories where only a bed, him and me were present. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;At 2.14am finally I slept. But at 2.57am I was awaken by a vibration under my hand. I searched in the dark for my mobile and with difficulty I pressed the receiver, without looking at who was calling, and responded: “I was sleeping for God’s sake… Who is it?”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I heard someone breathing heavily, and just from that sound I recognized him. We stayed in silence for a couple of minutes, just listening to each other breathing. I tried to talk, but I found it very tough. It was like talking to Luis when I met him in that park. Then I realized that for the third time, I was in tears again. I tried hard to hold, I didn’t want to let him know I was sobbing. But I couldn’t help it. I hugged my pillow and cried aloud. I tried to stop, and when I went silent again, I heard something. He was crying too, but the cry wasn’t coming from the mobile. I looked at the mobile and read that the call has ended. I stared at the open window and then after I figured out where was the sobbing coming from, I sprinted downstairs, almost tripping, to open the door. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;He looked more terrible than I was. His hair was a mess and his eyes red and swollen, as though he had been crying for the last five hours non-stop. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;“I just called…to ask you to open,” he said after a minute looking at each other.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;“Stevie,” I whispered. He closed his eyes, fighting his tears back and I held my hand out. As he opened his eyes, he looked confused at me. “Come in,” I managed to say.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;We walked inside and I led him through the living room. I sat on the sofa and motioned him to sit too. He was looking at me, he surely wanted to tell me many things, but couldn’t think of what to say.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;“I’m sorry,” I said. I surely had to do some explanations. “It’s all my fault, how could I shout at you? How could I say that you’re selfish? I’m so stupid Stevie, I am.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;He looked at me and smiled. That smile mended my heart and it was back to normal. I wanted that smile, I wanted that voice, I wanted that touch… “I forgive you as long as you forgive me. Sorry Xabi.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;“Oh Stevie, I don’t have anything to forgive you but your forgiven and you’ll always be,” I said as we got closer and closer. Everything was back to normal, I felt it. But this was a magical moment, and it had to be right. “I love you,” I added. That’s the magic word. It’s like a fairy tale now. It’s been like the first time. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;He leant closer and whispered: “You stole those words from my mouth,” and kissed me on the lips. I put my hand on his face, while the other was on his waist. Somehow he was on top of me, kissing my neck. I was moaning his name. It felt better then the usual. I rolled him and now I was on top of him. I was kissing him from his ears to his tummy. Now &lt;i&gt;he&lt;/i&gt; was moaning my name. This is what I wanted. To hear him, like the old good times, saying my name. It felt so good. And it still feels. As it feels good when I wake up and find myself hugging him. And as it feels good to be awaken by his lips, first kissing my lips and then whispering: “I love you”.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;~ The End ~&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;A/N: This was written hmmm in June or July night when I suffered insomnia badly and I couldn’t sleep. So I wrote this fic on a paper but I never wrote it on pc. Today, as I didn’t have anything to do, I wrote it on pc very different from the original as I couldn’t find the paper but with the same idea, I just remember what I wrote that night, and expanded it. Here’s the result. I hope you like it even though its un-beta’d (Sorry for the grammatical errors). Comments are very much appreciated ♥♥♥. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content>
