Being on the older side in contrast to all your siblings, it only made sense that Neymar took you to award shows whenever he needed a plus one and Bruna couldnât make it. That made your debut something special; the daughter of Neymar finally made appearances. What was she going to do or be? Yet another football player?Â
You hadnât decided but that was the least of your worries. All that mattered was that you knew your father would support you no matter what route you decided to take.Â
Finally, those award shows paid off as you caught the eye of the young prodigy Lamine Yamal. You kept up with the football world just as much as anyone else considering your father's status, so of course you knew who he was.Â
Did you give in so easily? Not at all. Upon meeting at the event, he mentioned to your dad that he was his idol. That made the gears in your head start to turn. What if heâs using you just to spend time with his idol?
You were overthinking it. He hadnât even made a move on you, and you were acting as if he just asked for your hand in marriage. He only asked for your hand to shake.Â
After brushing the simple interaction off as you being in your head, you two just could not stop making eye contact with one another from across the room. It wasnât intentional either as you would look at him, and heâd be staring at you already and vice versa.
At the time, you simply didnât want to know what your dad would even think if you started talking to Lamine.
That unsettling feeling that settled at the pit of your stomach seemed to disappear as soon as he properly came up to introduce himself to just you when you finally strayed away from your dad.Â
Itâs safe to assume you gave up your instagram to him quicker than your dad could bring your attention towards him. Â
That was a year ago. Now? Your father knows about him and has reluctantly accepted him into the family and the same goes for Bruna who was a fan of it since the idea even came about.Â
You guys were teens ready to become adults, and there is only so much you could do without pesky paparazzi breathing down the star Barcelona playerâs neck. And you who keeps getting more known as the days proceeded. Â
First time, you guys got caught at a cafe with each other. That made the public roar. Nobody even knew you guys were friends let alone, even spoke and shared the same space as one another. Next, a fan accidentally recorded the two of you in the background of their TikTok. Not your brightest moments...Â
The talk of becoming public was something that kept coming up in your conversations and naturally; he simply didnât want to. The reason? He couldnât even tell you.
Until one day he finally said, âIf they ask me anything about you, ill confirm it.â He said it firm, reassuring and made that feeling youâd been subconsciously holding inside let up. Â
That brings us to today. Youâd been watching a friendly he had just played which you unfortunately couldnât make it to because you couldnât just fly from Brazil to literally anywhere on a whim. Your dad wouldnât let you go for a boy all that easily. An interviewer asked him âBueno, todo el mundo ha estado esperando y quiere saberlo. ÂżDe verdad estĂĄs saliendo con (Y/N) Santos?âÂ
(Well, everyone has been waiting and wants to know. Are you really dating (Y/N) Santos?)Â
He pauses. Nobody has asked for quite some time. He looks at the camera and chuckles almost nervously as he rubs the nape of his neck for just a moment. He knows what he should say, but he still answers how he wants to. âNo, solo somos muy buenas amigasâÂ
(No, we're just very good friends.)Â
It was almost as if he knew how you would react to his very carefully curated words and yet, he still said them because he was too scared of his thousands of fangirls to disappear as soon as he mentioned you.Â
Like tradition, he would always call you once he safely gets into the blacked-out SUV that takes him back to the hotel, and you two speak from there.
He did call you like everything was normal, but you didnât pick up. He didnât want to claim you? Thereâs no need to claim him. This was the first real big argument that you two have had but there's a first for everything, right? Even for friends.Â
