I imagine some of them would get quite giggly or some even cocky. I was hoping you could do Hydra and United 🫶

A/N: AAH, YES, MY TWO FAV TEAMS! This is such a cute suggestions, tysm!!

Assistant Coach Masterlist

INVINCIBLE UNITED

     “Ugh, you are so unbelievable, Vince!” You growl, your clipboard nearly creaking underneath your tight grip as you angrily lead in front of your adopted father. Invincible United has, once again, lost in a match against Supa Strikas. Rather than listening to the advice and feedback of his assistant coach, Vince decided to do things his way again, and it was just as ridiculous and far-fetched as the rest of his schemes. Words couldn’t even describe the ridiculous stunt that you just witnessed on the field before you, but words also couldn’t describe your fury when you realized that Vince was relying more on cheap tricks than your suggestions and ideas. AGAIN.

      “It was a strategic decision, not that I would expect you to understand.” Vince scoffed, rolling his eyes at your little “tantrum”. In your defense, what was the point of making you stand out on the side of a soccer field in the sweltering heat as his assistant coach if he was just going to hire magicians or use remote-controlled soccer balls instead of listening to your input? 

      “You’re right, I don’t understand how it was a strategic decision because we still lost!” You shot back, turning on your heel to glare at him. Both of you have now stopped before boarding the bus.

     As Vince stammered for a comeback, you two gained quite the audience as most of Invincible United gathered on the half of the bus, which gave them a clear view and hearing of your argument. Dooma, who had already sat down, watched with a small smirk on his face as you exchanged witty remarks with Vince. Skarra, who always enjoyed seeing you come for Vince’s throat in your arguments, chuckled silently every time you left Vince stuttering or stammering. Meanwhile, Dingaan frowned, “ Aw, I hope they don’t argue on the way back. I hate when (Y/n) is upset…”

       “This conversation is over!” Vince shouted back with finality, now walking past you and making his way onto the bus.

      “Why? Because you can’t handle losing twice?” You sneered, walking even faster than him.

     “Idiots, get back!” Skarra whispered-shouted to the rest of the team, ordering them to get back to their original spots. They scrambled like children trying to find their spots before the teacher re-entered the room. You immediately walked past the first seat behind the driver, the spot where you usually sat with Vince, but you didn’t want to deal with him now. Vince appeared to feel the same way, glaring at the back of your head, but taking his usual seat in the front. The players immediately noticed this deviation, some looking around and trying to figure out why you weren’t sitting with Vince, while some could immediately see the situation for what it is. Skarra, in particular, shoved Dingaan to free the spot next to him when he noticed you weren’t sitting next to Vince. Dingaan, per usual, didn't seem mind or notice Skarra’s behavior. You rolled your eyes and briefly scanned the seats, trying to decide which player you would sit next to. After a few awkward minutes, you make your decision and walk next to him,

“Is it fine if I sit next to you?”

Skarra:

“As if you had to ask.”

You wouldn’t even have to ask Skarra because he expects you to choose him.

In Skarra’s mind, he has this idea that he is your favorite player on Invincible United, so you choosing to sit next to him would fuel his delulu. I mean, of course, you would choose him! He’s known you the longest out of everyone on the team, you constantly scold him about how he’s wasting his potential by aiding Vince in his cheating schemes or his rivalry with Shakes, but you can never seem to stay truly mad at him for too long. That has to mean something in his head.

While he may act cool and cocky on the outside and maybe even shooting a smug grin at his teamates who are currently pouting that you went to him, his heart gets a little fluttery that you chose him. 

Obviously, there was no doubt in his mind that you would…okay, maybe there was a little.

Underneath the “bad boy” exterior, Skarra does genuinely want your approval. There is something special to him about being the only one on the team who's able to “get you” when no one else can. He likes it when you come to rant to him about Vince because that means you trust him to understand your frustrations. When going over strategies (back when he was captain), you don’t see any point going to Vince so you’d go to him and he’d love that you not only sought out his opinions, but that you were sharing your own thoughts with him.

 However, since Dooma’s taken over as Captain now, there’s not much reason for you to seek him out like that anymore. So things like this, even if they are small, mean a lot to him. In the same breath, he would never outright admit these things to you, so he masks it by teasing you the moment you sit next to him.

“Aw, did Daddy get on your nerves?~”

“Shut up, Skarra.”

He’ll poke the bear a little bit but he also knows not to push it too far because you’re clearly upset about this loss, which is understandable. He would’ve been brooding in his seat and most likely snapping at Dingaan the entire ride if you hadn’t chosen to sit by him. If it’s bothering you, he will soften up and be genuine. Saying things like: “It’s not like it was your fault, anyway. We would’ve won if Vince weren’t such a control freak,” or other things of that nature so you’re not being too hard on yourself.

If you want to rant, he would so let you do that and he’ll even join you. Skarra loves shifting the blame onto other people too, so you both can dunk on Vince. Bantering with you and teasing you to distract you (and himself) from the loss, trying to make snarky jokes that’ll make you chuckle (I advise you never to laugh at his jokes because it will inflate his ego).

All in all, even if you guys did lose, Skarra will walk off the bus feeling like an absolute winner if you choose him.

Dooma:

“Sure, go ahead.”

I do think Dooma would be a bit more externally and internally composed.Yeah, he’s frustrated about losing but when you sit next to him, the feeling of loss dims a little bit as he silently watches you take a seat from the corner of his eye. 

You sitting next to him wouldn’t really inflate his ego. What inflates his ego is when he immediately hears Skarra grumbling in annoyance, clearly annoyed you didn’t choose him, and that causes Dooma to smirk a little bit to himself. He is very happy (excited, even) that you chose to sit next to him, but he’s a lot more composed than Skarra is.

He’s surprisingly very quiet and respectful at first, not flirting or teasing you the way Skarra immediately would’ve, nor would he immediately try and jump to cheer you up like Dingaan would’ve attempted. But he is very aware of you even if you might not know it. He notices every little sigh, grumble, or glare that you send Vince’s way. You would realize this when you mumble some snarky insult towards Vince and Dooma lets out a soft chuckle.

 Sitting next to Dooma could be helpful as you try and calm down from your argument with Vince. Dooma might even be silent because he’s waiting for you to start ranting or give you time to bring up the argument, because he doesn’t want to annoy you by pressing on the matter. If he sees that you were too in your head about the loss, then he’d probably speak up just to let you know that it wasn’t your fault.

“We play better when you make the calls.” He’d say, with a tone that makes it sound more like an absolute fact rather than an opinion.

He doesn’t really flirt with you on the ride back together, either. His tone is different when he speaks to you, however. More genuine and assuring, not something that he intentionally does, but you just happen to bring that out in him. This development might actually surprise you, but also make you more comfortable to talk/rant to him, which he is more than happy to invite. 

Dooma will also unintentionally lean closer to you while you talk or rant, showing that he’s listening to you very intently, and he might not say much aside from the occasional grunt of agreement or scoff when you’re telling him some ridiculous excuse Vince gave you to justify what happened.

However, since you guys are on a bus together, this might cause one of you to accidentally brush against the other. If you hit a particularly nasty road bump, you might accidentally fall against his frame. Which he wouldn’t mind, especially if you got nervous and tried to apologize for it. Sending you a small smile, “Don’t worry, I’ll let it slide…this time.~” Causing you to turn red in the face but try to compose yourself.

Overall, Dooma would be pretty happy that you sat with him and would be surprisingly understanding of your frustration, but also demonstrate that that he actually thinks of you pretty highly. I don’t see him rubbing it into his teammate’s face the same way Skarra would but if Skarra gets out of line, he might throw it in his face. Just to to mess with him. 

Dingaan:

“(Y/N)! DO YOU NEED A SPOT? I HAVE ONE BY ME! BUT ONLY IF YOU WANT IT!”

Once he recovers from Skarra’s shove and makes himself comfortable in his seat, the moment he sees you looking over the bus, he would immediately light up and wave you over.

The sincerity and genuine happiness in his tone make you smile. For all of his faults, Dingaan is a genuinely warm and kind person, and not to mention that he’s very silly in the most endearing ways. You pick him because you might need some cheering up after your argument with Vince or maybe because you felt bad watching him get shoved by Skarra purely because he wanted you to sit next to him.

When you choose to sit next to him, I wouldn’t say that he brags, but Dingaan would very much shout out a very happy and enthusiastic, “YAY!” the moment that you claim the free spot next to him.

He’s very frantic and adorable as he tries to hold in how happy he is that you decided to sit next to him, trying to fix his posture and declutter any of the snacks that he might have brought along with him for the trip, but also he just wants to make sure that you’re okay and that you’re not upset.

He might even apologize for losing the game, feeling bad that he had to listen to Vince rather than you because, well…Vince is scary. When you assure him that it wasn’t your fault and that you don’t blame him, then that causes him to brighten up.

Would try to cheer you up in the most earnest and ridiculous ways possible that you actually do end up feeling better. He would even share his snacks with you, displaying great excitment if you choose to accept, but being understanding if you’re not in the mood.

“Oh, that’s a good choice! Those chips are my favorite!”

Again, Dingaan is not the type to brag or rub it in his teammates’ faces…but when he makes you laugh or you’re freely sharing your snacks with him, it is very clear that everyone on Invincible United (especially Skarra) is  absolutelyglaring daggers at him. Seething with jealousy as he obliviously enjoys your company and wishes this bus ride could last forever.

However, when they see how happy you are, they’re a little less annoyed with Dingaan because at least you’re not upset anymore.

HYDRA FC

    “Uuuuuuggghh.”

   “Are you still not feeling okay, Dad?” You frowned, noticing how sickly your adopted father looked at the moment. Hydra FC had just finished up a game against Cosmos and were now walking back to the bus. However, it seemed as though your father was still suffering from the effects of that awful new seaweed dish the cooks at the floating stadium were experimenting with prior to your departure for the match. As the coach of Hydra and the developer of the floating stadium, it is natural that the responsibility to taste new recipes regarding the seaweed nutrient extract would fall onto your father. Testing it to see if it would be suitable for the players and staff within the floating stadium. Judging by the current state of your adopted dad, the recipe appeared to have failed this test. Big time.

    “Next time, I’m having Ursula be the taste tester.” Del Aqua groaned in annoyance, clutching his stomach. You laughed softly at his words, gently rubbing his back and helping him walk back to the team bus.

    “It looks like the coach isn’t looking too hot, bros,” Liquido observed from his window seat. Del Aqua did take medicine prior to leaving for the game but it was clear that he might have needed more than that, seeing as he was sitting on the bench for most of the time, and you had to take over the main coaching position. 

     “Dude, I think he looks worse than before,” Shane noted, angling his head so he can get a better view.

    “I mean, yeah, man. Nothing good comes from trying to make fried chicken from seaweed nutrition extract.” Skipper scoffed, causing some laughs to erupt on the bus. Shane spoke up again, “Man, I hope it isn’t contagious. That’d be so lame if we got sick…Or worse, (Y/n)! That’d be so lame-”

     The long-haired was quickly hushed by his other teammates as you and Del Aqua began to make your way to the bus. You briefly separated from your dad to open a window for him slightly, hoping that some fresh air on the way might ease the nauseous feeling he was probably experiencing right now. Letting him take the window seat, you assured him that you can ask the driver to possibly stop on the way at some gas station to pick up some sort of relief medicine or something from a gas station, but Del Aqua simply assured you that it’d just be best to get back to floating stadium.

    “Alright, whatever you say, Dad.” You say, “I can just sit here and help-”

    “I don’t think that’s a good idea, my little guppy. It wouldn’t do anyone good if I accidentally got you sick.” He frowned, stopping you briefly from taking a seat, “You wouldn’t mind sitting at a different spot, would you?”

     And just like sharks tasting blood in the water, every single player on Hydra FC’s head shot up at his words.

      “Yeah, okay…I guess that’d be a good idea. Are you sure you’ll be alright, though?” You frown, not wanting to leave him behind if there is a chance he might need your help. He simply reassured you that he’d be fine and that the sooner you got back to the floating stadium, the better. When you turned to look at all of your players, some of them immediately looked away and casually tried to act like they weren’t listening, while others gave you an expectant stare. One noticeable thing was that all of them had moved to the side of the bus benches, opening up a lot of seat options for you to choose from. 

    Scanning the spots, you finally decide on a play and walk over to them, “Mind if I sit here?”

Skipper:

“Yeah, it’s all good!”

When you ask if it’s okay to sit with him, he just gives you a charming grin and nods his head. Internally? He’s overthinking things. What if I didn’t put enough deodorant on and I still smell all sweaty from the game? I probably look like a mess right now. Have I been staring at them for too long? 

Meanwhile, you’re just getting settled and taking out a granola bar. You also wouldn’t even notice Skipper mentally spiraling beside you because he’s just so chill on the outside and he’s able to hide it so things don’t get weird between you guys. So when you turn to thank him for sharing his spot, he immediately breaks out of his rush of thoughts.

“Yeah, no worries! Sorry that Coach Del Aqua isn’t feeling great.”

“Yeah, major bummer, but at least I can help him from here. That’s why I appreciate you letting me sit next to you, man!”

He simply nods his head, feeling his face go red from your compliment and praying that he’s not blushing too hard in front of you to the point you might be able to notice his crush/admiration for you. 

Might offer you his water bottle in case your thirsty, he’d get flustered if you told him that you were fine and had your own, but he’d get this rush of joy if you actually took him up on his offer. After all, you two have to depend on each other as Team Captain and Assistant Coach, but in reality: he just gets happy when you’re able to rely on him in general. 

He would be smug but in a silent way, shooting a smirk at his players, but then letting this moment between the two of you speak for itself. Might lean in closely when you start talking to him about he felt the game went and what improvements he think could be made for next time, both of you laughing when he makes jokes about a stupid move someone from the other team did. This caused more of the team to give him envious glares.

If the other players try to tease him, especially Liquido, he doesn’t let it get to him and just rolls his eyes. When you join in on the banter, then he’ll just tease you back. However, if someone jokingly tried to convince you to sit next to them, Skipper will already have his mouth open, saying: “Sorry, we still have a few more things to discuss. Like that terribly pass you gave.”

 Nothing too malicious or jealous, since he is just messing with them, lightheartedly, but he is also still showing that he will absolutely not let them convince you to change spots. You chose him, end of story.

If you look cold or tired, he might offer you his jacket if it has it on him. If you accept it, he’d be way too busy focusing on how cute you look in his clothes that he doesn’t notice how envious the rest of his teammates look. At the end of the ride, he might even “forget” to ask for it back. 

Liquido:

“Been waiting all season for you to ask me that.”

His head was one of the first ones to perk up when he heard Coach Del Aqua’s suggestion about founding a new spot to sit at and he was the first one to make room, ignoring the laugh and snickers from his fellow teammates.

Liquido’s energy and confidence would make him a fun bus buddy, in all honesty. He can tease you without being an absolute jerk, and chatting with him is never boring. Plus, he could be a good distraction from how much worry you have about Coach Del Aqua.

He’s very pleased with himself as you sit next to him, but he also will try to keep playing it cool. In his head, however, he’s all: “HAH, I KNEW IT!!”

He would so turn around in his seat just to glance at the rest of his teammates, causing them to role their eyes because they can already tell he’s going to be so stupidly obnoxious about this for the longest time. Like, tomorrow at practice, they already know he’s going to talk non-stop about this in the locker room.

He’d also try to reassure you that Del Aqual will be okay, teasing you lightly about how cute you look when you're worried, and chuckling when you shoot back with a snarky remark. 

Might even play stupid games like “would you rather?” while also rigging the questions to make himself seem favorable. Stuff like: “Would you rather go surfing with me or with Shane?” or “Who on the team would you trust save you if you got stranded in the ocean?” and if you say “Him” then he immediately gets in inflated ego but if you answer anyone else, he’ll playfully but also genuinely try to explain why you should’ve atually said him.

Then he’d want to ask a bit more personal questions about you, he likes getting to know you, and it wouldn’t be anything too personal. Just stuff like your hobbies and interests. Each answer you get is received with an acknowledging nod or clever response he made in his head, but is being stored away with care in his memory…just in case.

He will talk about the game but he specifically wants to talk about it to see if you noticed any of the cool or clever plays he made or did. Saying stuff like, “Yeah, that pass was risky but I’m glad I made it.” or “Yeah, those defenders were pretty tough but clearly, not enough.”

He’s basically trying to get you to praise him for how he played and to test if you were watching him, especially because he tends to show off in front of you. With that being said, if you do acknowledge his impressive plays or even compliment him on it, he will briefly be caught off gaurd but will be training/improving his skills and techniques just so you can praise him again.

Shane Finn:

“Yeah, totally! Help yourself!”

He has no shame in showing how badly he wants you to sit with him. Loudly saying how he has an open seat the moment he hears Del Aqua’s suggestion about you moving. Some players roll their eyes while his other teammates just snicker, but their reactions don’t matter because it worked.

When you make yourself comfortable and thank him, he responds with: “Yeah, no problem!” but internally, he fist pumps the air and fireworks are going off in his head. He knows that his grin is way wider than it should be but he doesn’t care to fix it, after all, he’s genuinely happy that you chose him.

HUGE YAPPER. You won’t even have to worry about your dad because Shane will be cracking jokes, talking about how stupid the refs were, or just try to get you to roast the other team with him. Any of the players around you who want to try and recapture your attention by joining in the conversation don’t get the chance because Shane knows how to keep your attention on him.

Out of all of them, there will definetly be more touching because Shane will want to look back at his teammates if they tease him and because I can see him being those guys who wants to look at people when they’re talking. So expect lots of shoulder touching, knee touching, and all those other scandalous things. 

He doesn’t mean to do it be weird and if you are uncomfortable, then he’ll try to be a little less squirmy, but if you don’t seem to mind, well…that’d lowkey just make him fall even harder for you tbh.

His teammates will definetly tease him if he’s a bit more chipper/easily excitable than usual. Like, if he’s in a conversation with them and he keeps asking you directly for your opinon, they’re all: “Shane, quit bugging (Y/n).” and he’d immediately snap back, “I am not bugging her!...Am I?”

Would give you, like, his last protein bar if you mention feeling a bit hungry. He’ll also take his phone out to show you cool surfing videos of him outside the floating stadium, lowkey trying to show off his stunts, and being all: “I can show you how to do it when we get back, it’s pretty easy!” and if you say yes, expect everyone on Hydra to immediately invite themselves or say that they can teach you tricks better than Shane.

He’d totally share his earbuds with you and the both of you can listen to music together, he’d suggest that he pick a song and you pick a song. He would love to see your reactions when he shows you his favorite songs and hear your opinion but he’d also be curious to see what your taste is like and if he can use that in the future for later.

Here’s the lineup so far (you can still request more!): El Matador, Shakes, Klaus, North Shaw, Rasta, Twisting Tiger, Cool Joe, Big Bo, Eagle Eye, Skarra, Dooma, Ja Nein, Uber, Liquido, Ninja, Thor, Supa Fran, Bone Jones/Rip Staples, Riano

Synopsis: In which I list which soccer coaches are aware of their teams' crush on you (their adopted child/assistant coach) and how they feel about it.

Assistant Coach Masterlist

Supa Strikas- Coach/Phillipe

Oh, he ABSOLUTELY KNOWS. Even if he wasn't as observant as he was, he'd have to be BLIND if he couldn't see the way his teams faces seem to light up the moment you walk into the room. He knows you and all the Supa Strikas like the back of his hand so while it bothered him a bit at first, he knows that all of them do genuinely respect and care for you almost as much as he does. From a fatherly standpoint, he would be a little concerned if you pursued a relationship with one of the Strikas just because work and romance can be tricky to mix together, but he also trusts you to make decisions for yourself and could never deny you if you truly have found love with one of the Strikas. From a PROFESSIONAL perspective, relationships between coaches (assistant or not) are forbidden so if you do reciprocate any of their feelings then he'll trust that you understand that it won't be easy if you truly wish to follow in his footsteps about coaching Supa Strikas.

He makes it incredibly clear that if any of them make you uncomfortable, he will not stand for it and will put a stop to it immediately. But again, they're all good guys and he trusts him. He does side eye Shakes when he stammers and stutters around you before he looks at Dancing Rasta and they both try their hardest to fight back a smile. Overall, he handles it with grace and he won't tell you how they feel but if you mention one of them acting wierd (not in a bad way), then he'll just chuckle knowingly but shrug it off.

"As long as you all remember that its (Y/n)'s decision and don't let your feelings distract you, I don't see the problem with it."

Invincible United- Vince

Another "Oh, he absolutely knows" dad and he was absolutely furious when he realized it. He had his suspicions but it wasn't until Skarra offered to HELP YOU with something did it hit him like a train. For a while, he had really strict rules about personal relationships, would interrogate any of the players of their intentions if they appeared to be "overly" friendly, and then threaten them with random benching or changes to the game roster. However, he would ease on these policies because he would notice how your presence (or lack of it) effects the morale and motivation of the team. While he is still very possessive, he is also very self-serving, and if having you around produces more wins and increase of effort from his players then he'll begrudgingly allow it.

He also realizes that he can ensure you and Skarra stay in check by utilizing your...whatever it is you two have, to his advantage. You genuinely care about fostering Skarra's potential and Skarra seems to be more prone to listen to you. He doesn't like it but at the end of the day, he can't deny results.

"Because you idiots seem to play better when (Y/n) is around, I've decided to be less...strict about things. But, if any of you step out of line, I'll personally see to it that you're NEVER able to play soccer again."

Iron Tank- Coach Von Push Up

He'd notice EVENTUALLY. He's very caught up in developing strict training regimens, pushing himself to his own limits, and ensuring that Iron Tank is always performing at its best that he definetly will not notice right away. However, if small spats start to break out between the players or other changes of that sort then he'll start to piece it together. He would impose stricter rules and make training more grueling than usual. When he realizes that their feelings for you are genuine, then he can't help but soften at the thought that there are people who care about you just as much as he does. But if any of them try to pull something unsavory, he's making them spend the night in the mountains in nothing but their boxers and SOCKS.

A bit of a nosey dad too, honestly. If he notices you just talking or spend more time with someone like Ja Nien or Uber, then he just "curiously" asks what you were talking about and when you tell him, he's all: "Vas that all?" and you just look at him weirdly because what does he mean by that-

"ATTENTION! If you men wish to be worthy of mein (Y/n), zhen I expect you TO WIN EVERY SINGLE GAME THIS SEASON. I won't allow my child to be with a mediocre FOOL."

Grimm FC- Coach Belmont

Yes but that's because everyone on Grimm very unashamedly adores you. The way they look at you when you help with their make up and costume is very unmistakably one of love. There is a certain intensity as he scrutinized them, trying to measure if their love and devotion to you is truly as genuine as they claim it to be. However, if you seem to reciprocate one of their advances or assure him that their crush isn't something that bothers or disturbs you then he'll let it slide. Like Coach, Belmont does trust you to make your own decisions and knows he's raised you to seek for nothing less than you deserved.

Vladimir, being the team captain, would actually just straight up tell Coach Belmont about his feelings to you in very dramatic Grimm fashion. Belmont appreciated the respect of Vladimir telling him and was touched by his honesty but now it gets annoying because he has to deal with Vladimir and the rest talking about how they miss their "Beloved Ray of Moonlight" if you can't show up to something for any reason or when they randomly just declare their undying love for you. Overall, he trusts his team, but he's not above giving them vague threats as well.

"Just remember, if any of you cross (Y/n) in any way...then you cross me as well. And trust me when I say you don't want to cross me."

Technicali FC- Toni Vern

No, he doesn't notice anything. Toni is a neglectful coach and an even more neglectful father. He's too busy with creating insane plots against Supa Strikas to notice that everyone on his team is painfully in love with you. Which is kind of funny because they're all REALLY bad at hiding it as well, constantly tripping over themselves more than usual, or just visibly becoming putty in your hand. All he notices is that they'll threaten to tattle on him to you and he has to be all: "Now, now, there's no need to bother my darling (Y/n) about this-" because he knows you'll chew him out good for it.

BECAUSE TECHNICALI IS SO BAD AT HIDING IT, CHUCK AND THE OTHERS JUST DECIDED TO TELL YOU STRAIGHT UP BECAUSE EVERYONE IN THE SUPER LEAGUE COULD SEE HOW DOWN BAD THEY WERE but they were all, "So if we make you uncomfortable, just let us know because Toni is very clearly NOT going to do anything." and you just blinked but smiled at how sweet they are.

Nakama FC- Ura Giri

Okay so Ura Giri does care about you but he's in the same boat as Toni where he's too busy with his schemes to notice. Nakama isn't bad at hiding their crush but everyone on the team didn't feel right if they pined after you without letting Ura Giri be aware. So out of pure respect for him, they all went to office and told him straight to his face that they were all in love with you, and wanted to make sure if he was alright with them pursuing you. Ura Giri was half listening and was all: "Yeah, sure, go ahead. Do what you want-" and when Miko was all: "Sensei, I don't think you're completely understanding what it is we want. We want to make sure that we have your blessing-" and Ura Giri cut him off to say: "YES! YES! HAVE IT. Now please leave me be to my...uh, strategy planning!"

So if he finds out, which will be very unlikely, he can't be surprised or offended because they made their intentions VERY clear. In the rare moments where he DOES pay attention, he'll notice the tender moments his players have with you and will stroke his facial hair and be all: "Hmmm, if I didn't know any better, I'd think they have feelings for my (Y/n)-chan...Oh, my scheme is done!"

Hydra FC- Coach Del Aqua

Oh, he definetly notices it because they get more stupid and obnoxious whenever you're around. However, you're very much in your own world so it's kind of funny for him to see you unintentionally shut them down. He almost feels bad for the poor fools. If you happened to reciprocate, he would sit you down to talk to you about what engaging in a relationship with them would mean, and just make sure that you know what you're getting into. I feel like he'd be pretty neutral about the whole thing, not because he doesn't care, but mostly because you're all grown adults. Maybe he's a bit hesitant with Liquido because he's worried you might get dragged into his rivalry with North Shaw.

Overall, you can get roped into their shenanigans but you also know when to put your foot down and get them to listen up. So he's not particularly worried about you.

"Just don't let it distract you. I trust (Y/n) to make good decisions that will overrule your stupid ones."

Cosmos FC- Buddy Watkins

Okay so he "sets" you up with Ninja but he doesn't know that Ninja actually likes you. Let me explain: Ninja was always so entranced by you that it was just way too hard to hide and soon, reporters and gossip outlets went wild about the two of you. How you were always very doting on him (it's your job), the way he looked at you with such adoring eyes, and the general idea of a forbidden romance between an assistant coach and soccer player was very captivating to the masses. While Buddy isn't sure of the origin, he saw how much money and publicity this rumor was bringing him and in true businesses man fashion, decided to capitalize on it. He never checked the validity of the rumors because he asked you and since you weren't aware of Ninja's crush, you told him you had no idea where these rumors started but since they were good for the team, he saw no reason to stop them. The face of his company and hotels and the face of his soccer team together wasn't exactly a bad idea so he'll often have you nearby Ninja during his interviews and set you guys up for some "one-on-one" time at restaurants. You just sigh and smile apologetically at Ninja, WHO IS ABSOLUTELY THRILLED WITH THIS DEVELOPMENT.

"Haha, look at all this publicity! I gotta say, Ninja, yer pretty darn good at pretending you're in love with (Y/n)."

Synopsis: As the assistant coach, it is standard procedure that you stay in the same hotel as your team. This helps with team cohesion, ensures that someone is there to ensure the team is keeping up with their routines, and reinforces professionalism and respect amongst the team by ensuring everyone follows the same standards of conduct and behavior. However, an embarrassing misunderstanding occurs as your adopted father/coach forgets to book you a room, and your soccer team clamors about whose room you should stay in. (AKA: Soccer players wanting to have their bonding moment with their assistant coach)

Assistant Coach AU Masterlist

Team(s): Hydra FC

Characters: Skipper, Giorgio Liquido, Shane Finn

HYDRA FC

It seems as though no good deed goes unpunished, especially in your situation. You had volunteered to handle the coaching aspect for your adopted father, Alfredo Del Aqua, after the Hydra FC’s team of developers contacted him about needing to head back to the Floating Stadium due to some malfunctions they were facing. You assured him that you would be fine watching the team by yourself, but now, you were already facing malfunctions of your own…and you guys weren’t even on the field yet!

“Please check again under: Hydra FC. There should be a reservation for (Y/N) Del Aqua…and if not, maybe check under the name Alfredo Del Aqua?” You frown, hoping that this was an easy mishap within the hotel’s systems. The hotel receptionist types quickly on her keyboard, her glasses reflecting the blue light of the screen. After a while, she types again and looks up at you with a sheepish smile, “We’re sorry, Mx. Del Aqua, but we can’t find a reservation under your name or your father’s. We’re still getting used to our new system, and it’s possible your reservation got lost in the transfer from the new system to the old system.”

You sigh in annoyance, not necessarily at the receptionist, but at the situation in general.

“Bummer. Is there any way I can make a reservation now for my own room?” You ask hopefully, praying that your luck would change. Instead, the receptionist informs you that all of their rooms have been rented out but suggests that maybe it’d be in your best interest to room with one of your teammates for the night since all of their rooms have pull-out couches. Liquido and the others, who were all conversing among themselves while also listening to try and figure out when they’d finally be able to put their luggage in their rooms, slowly became silent at the woman’s suggestions.

“Man, that’s so lame, (Y/n).” Shane frowns but an enthusiastic grin appears on his face suspiciously fast, “You can room with me if you want!”

You open your mouth to respond, only for Liquido to step in and look his teammate up and down, “Woah, bro. Let’s hang on a sec. If (Y/n) should room with anyone, it should be me.” “And why should that happen, dude?” Skipper asked, his tone filled with scrutiny and skepticism. Liquido shot him a grin, “Duh, because I’m the one who won us the game with all of my scores.” 

While Liquido seemed self-satisfied with his answer, Skipper did not. 

“Well, I’m the captain. So it would totally make sense if (Y/n) shared a room with me since we’ve gotta talk strategy anyway.” The short-haired blond shot back.

Feeling the gaze of the other guests at the hotel upon you, you immediately step in between the two.

“Guys, chill, no need to fight. I’ll just pick…”

All of them suddenly stand straighter, smiling brightly at you while also subtly trying to push one another out of your field of vision, as if being in the center of your vision would have any impact on your decision. All of their gazes focused on you as each of them prayed that you say their name.

SKIPPER:

“-Skipper.”

“Tubular!” The team captain cheers, while the faces of his fellow teammates drop in annoyance behind him. Whether you chose him out of favoritism or because he brought up a good point about going over strategy with him didn’t matter, especially as he wrapped his arm around your shoulder and led you over to the part of the hotel you and the rest of the team were staying at. The rest of the team, disappointed and malcontent, followed after the two of you with heavy feet and mumbled complaints under their breath.

Once the team was settled, you guys started the training for tomorrow’s game. While you were making the strategies, Skipper was the one making sure that every player was doing their part to follow them as closely as possible. However, he was now rubbing in the rooming arrangements in his team’s face by casually referring to you as his “roomie.”

“Wait, what position did you want Liquido and Shane in, Roomie?”

“Good plan, Roomie!~”

This would cause you to turn a little red, constantly being reminded that you’ll be sharing a room with the team captain, but it would cause the rest of the team to grumble or even roll their eyes at their captain’s shameless display.

Some of them even took the opportunity to let you know that it wasn’t too late to switch places with them…and by “some of them”, I mean Liquido. 

“If you get too annoyed with him, (N/n), my room is just down the hall.”

“Get back to work, Liquido!” You and Skipper both chastised at the same time. Your eyes go wide when you realize that both said it at the same time, while Skipper looked briefly surprised, only to chuckle softly at how in sync you guys are.

- Once practice is done and over with, Skipper stays back to help ensure that everyone’s equipment is returned and to help you carry it back out to the bus. Which you’re incredibly thankful for because weighted belts are STUPID heavy.

- He’s also going to let you take the bed, like, no doubt about it. You’ll feel a bit bad because he has already just set himself up on the couch. When you offer to trade with him, he’ll be all: “Nah, dude, it’s chill. Besides, I already have my stuff there!” to try and ease your guilt.

- In return, you tell him that he can use the shower first, and you make sure that he knows it’s not up for argument. If you left any skincare products or already have your hair products in the shower, he’ll make note of the brand for future reference for his plots to become your favorite on the team.

- As you two get settled into bed and you find yourself restless, Skipper will notice and ask if you’re okay. When you tell him that you’re just worried about the game tomorrow. Regardless of whether it’s a romantic or platonic scenario, this can lead to a very deep heart-to-heart where he tries to ease your worries and anxieties. 

- This can range from him trying to make you laugh or reminding you about the qualities you have that he and the rest of the team admire. However, his mouth moves faster than his mind, and he says something like: “That’s why I like you, (Y/n). You always want to give it your best.” only to try and save himself by explaining he didn’t mean it like that, even though he 100% did mean it like that. Yet, he remains unconvincing, but you spare him the embarrassment of saying: “Thanks, Skip. I appreciate that. I like you too!”

- Romantic or platonic, you both go to sleep feeling closer to each other, and it shows when the two of you wake up and are practically finishing each other’s sentences for the rest of the day. 

LIQUIDO:

“-Liquido.”

“YES!” The blue-haired male cheered. A bit too loudly, as hotel guests all turned to look at him. Realizing the small scene he made, Liquido balled his hands into a fist and awkwardly cleared his throat before sending you his most charismatic smile, “I always knew I was your favorite.~”

You rolled your eyes at his cockiness. Whether there was merit to his words or you had a more strategic reason for picking him didn’t matter as he picked up your luggage, to make sure you had no time to take back your decision, and wrapped his free arm around your shoulder. Liquido’s bright blue eyes looked smugly at his teammates, and he stuck a playful tongue out at them, rubbing it into their faces, causing them to scowl even more.

While all of the guys tease you in various ways, Liquido teases you to hide how much he likes you and also uses his cockiness as a cover up. When he walks into practice with you, he acts like someone just handed him the trophy for “Best Super League Player in the World”, and is constantly trying to rub it in to his own teammates during practice.

“You know, it makes sense (Y/n) would choose me. After all, who doesn’t want the room with the best view?”

-Much like in Shane’s scenario, these two will beef with each other in practice as well. This time, with Liquido trying to show off his skills and constantly calling you over to watch him outmaneuver Shane, while Shane tries his best to make Liquido look like a fool in front of you. However, it seems as though your gaze is all Liquido needs because Shane just can’t seem to trip him up the entire time. 

- I’m being so serious, Liquido is the embodiment of that “When I’m doing x but fyne shii is watching.” meme.

- HE IS DOING THE MOST RIDICULOUS TRICKS. He’s stealing from the other players just to score goals with his eyes closed, or while facing backwards, or with some sort of flip. He’s a midfielder, being the one to score goals isn’t even the top priority of his position. While you thought it was fun and ridiculous at first, you eventually have to snap him out of it and let him know that you’re not impressed and he needs to get back to doing the strategies you had planned out.

- Shapes up when you threaten to change your mind and be roommates with someone else, and he’s an absolute angel the rest of practice, it’s enough to give you and the rest of the team whiplash, honestly.

- After practice is done, he’d stay back with you and Skipper (he’s the captain, he needs to help-) to make sure Skipper doesn’t try anything, but also so he can show off further. He’ll talk about how tired he is and how excited he’ll be to go back to his room, but he keeps saying “Our room”, winking in your direction and making Skipper scoff.

Liquido will tease you about making you sleep on the floor, but you both know he’s going to let you have the bed while he takes the couch. When he offers you the bed, he secretly hopes that you offer to let him sleep next to you, so you don’t. Just to keep him humble.

Hovers over by you while you write up strategies for tomorrow’s game, tilting his head as you messily doodle and constantly asking you which scribble is supposed to represent him. You draw him as the little poop doodle for the rest of the night after annoying you. However, he will do things like checking to make sure your stuff is charged and checking to make sure his stuff isn’t all over the place because he genuinely doesn’t want you to think he’s a slob or anything like that. If you say something about it, he’ll brush it off saying that he just wants to make sure everything is ready for the big game tomorrow.

He’d let you have the shower first, and he wouldn’t let any of the other guys in his room. If you have music playing in the background while you shower, he’ll just keep a few songs in mind for future reference. If you have any songs from any artist he likes to listen too, then he’s already thinking of a million ways to worm it into every conversation with you. If you envision this as more of a romantic scenario, he would purposely leave the bathroom door open a crack while he showers just to see if you’ll peek or get flustered. If it’s more platonic, he might’ve unintentionally left it open and if you close it for him, he needs a good few minutes to himself before he faces you again.

He’ll try to talk to you once you guys get settled in bed, asking you questions that look unserious, but he is also secretly genuinely curious about your answer to them. He’ll ask you things like; which player on the team do you think is the worst? Do we ever annoy you? Do I ever annoy you? 

When you look up at him with concern, he tries to play it off that he was just joking but when you tell him that while he is annoying, you’ve never gotten upset at him over it, and that he shouldn’t worry about that. Even if you meant it in a platonic or professional way, the gentleness of your tone helps Liquido sleep easier that night and helps him wake up with a big motivation to win.

SHANE FINN: 

“-Shane.” You finally decide. 

“GNARLY!” The long-haired blond exclaimed happily, fist pumping in the air before grabbing your luggage for you. While the rest of your team seemed visibly disappointed in your choice, you didn’t have any time to notice as Shane threw his arm around you and led you to your now shared room. The rest of the team followed behind you, not exactly the happiest with your choice, but Shane couldn’t care less about how ecstatic he felt that you chose him. Already making you crack a smile with his jokes and energy, he is gonna make sure that you don’t regret picking him to be your roommate.

Once the practice starts, Shane is all about doing his best. I mean, he already does his best in practice, but now he really wants to give it his all to impress you. Totally doesn’t hope that you’ll praise him for his hard work later, once practice is done and you guys head back to your room.

He and Liquido are also low-key going to be beefing as well. Liquido will just psych him out by outing all the embarrassing things Shane does in his sleep in hopes you’ll choose him, and Shane is just going “NUH-UH!” or “NOT COOL, MAN!” Meanwhile, you don’t care, you just want them to work together because your strategy relies on them PASSING TO EACH OTHER instead of STEALING THE BALL FROM EACH OTHER to score points to impress you.

Oh, this guy will be LIFTING THINGS TO IMPRESS YOU. You’ll hear him say: “HEY, (Y/N), LOOK. I’M DOING DRILLS WITH TWO WEIGHT BELTS ON!” and you and the rest of your team have to remind him THAT IS NOT SAFE AND HE CAN DROWN. He’ll loudly dedicate the goals he scores to you, his roommate. Causing you to giggle and the rest of the team to roll their eyes at his overeagerness to impress you. 

When it comes to helping you and Skipper clean up, he’s just yapping to you the entire time about how great you are and how prepared he and the rest of the team feel. Meanwhile, Skipper will just elbow him if he says anything that exposes his crush on you or anyone else’s crush on you.

He’s also really touchy with you and likes being close to you, not in a weird way but in the sense that he just genuinely enjoys your presence. Even before this, he would find excuses to train as close as possible to you so you guys could talk, so he’s just high-fiving you. Also wants to take this special time with you to develop a secret roomie handshake between the two of you. You are now spending a good amount of your time just trying out different sequences of handshake gestures before you finally settle on the perfect one.

While Shane will let you take the shower first, you two will be bumping into each other as he rushes around to get his bed stuff done. Expect yourself to run into that strong toned chest of his and flusteredly apologizing while he just lets you know that it was totally his bad and it won’t happen again (it totally happens again but not because he planned it). 

If you’re in your head about Hydra’s upcoming game, Shane is actually really good at getting your head away from being anxious for a while. While you’re stressing about different game strategies and researching more about the opposing team, Shane is just chatting your ear off, and you soon find yourself engaged in a fun and nice conversation with him.

Shane would originally want you to take the bed but that’s not exactly how it ends up going. You both chat so late into the night that you both fall asleep on each other, with Shane gently spooning his body into yours while you lay on his arm. When you both wake up, Shane gets really embarrassed and apologizes to you. Meanwhile you, equally embarrassed, apologize to him about how you should’ve stayed up longer. When you both realize how awkward you’re being towards each other, you guys just laugh it off and go to meet the rest of the team.

Forehead kisses literally 24/7

Will definitely confront someone who’s being rude

Sometimes he will go up to you and pat your head or pull your cheeks with his big, cheeky smile

If you were around his height tho, i think he would love to rest his head on your shoulder

Will randomly go up to you and hug you while rocking back and forth because that’s how much love he has for you

If he does tease you, it won't last long time bcs it will end up with laughing

Well, even though he's the shortest on his team, he's still German, so he's definitely tall.

You’re always the small spoon, seeing as neither of you would be comfortable any other way.

He really has no defining opinion towards your height

He does find it slightly amusing seeing you reaching for high up things or trying to intimidate Uber when messes with you

You sometimes steal his shirts and jackets, and he loves how it drapes off of your body

He makes fun of you but only to tease you and joke around, God forbid someone else make fun of you cause then you’ll have to struggle with holding your much taller bf back from use his manipulating skills :v

Oh boy

This guy has no mercy

He lives and breathes short jokes

He loves the height difference between you two and brings it up a lot

Always moving things up too high for you cuz he adores helping you out

It wouldn't matter if you're slightly shorter than him, he will lord it over your head

I can see the bastard bending down until he's eye level with you and cooing how cute you are

So you better get used to it

Hey there anon! I'm doing fine, thanks for asking <3

Sure thing, also don't forget to be hydrated

I got lazy today so, no cover images

And I'm also here like really embarrassed because of what happened in the Copa America in Colombia - Argentina final, with the Colombian extreme fans (called inchas here)

Liquido

He’s the chill but very protective kind of bf

Any nicknames he comes up with for you are food-related. idk why

Those nicknames don’t always have to make sense though, and as long as they have a nice ring to them, Liquido is content.

You’re “the mozerella to his cheese”, “his precious chicken nugget”- and he’s lovin’ it. 

the dude is not really a jealous person, but he does have a habit of picking fights with people who seem interested in you.

In those cases, he’ll get really into the face of whoever thought they could hit it off with you and wouldn’t even shy away from fist-fighting that person

dates mostly take place in cafes, restaurants, bars

sometimes they can be interrupted by fans or coach's calls though- but even when that happens, he’s got his ways to deal with it

he’d be into spoonfeeding each other

intentional bites, like lovebites though...

Liquido isn’t one to put his feelings into deep words, but you can definitely count on random declarations of love coming out of nowhere.

Like when he’s done training and you hand him a towel- boom, there’s his cue to get all smooth and romantic

tons of hugs from behind!!! Surprise hugs like that are basically his specialty.

His face often just pops up next to yours and within seconds, he’ll turn your head towards his so he can steal a quick kiss.

Zoom Zahir

So that's his name?

I mean, if I usually say that all football babes spoil you…

Don't get me started with him

He's from Sultan FC come on

The fact is that this man spoils you like crazy

"I'm serious babe, I don't want anything too special for my birthday."

"Yes, yes, you don't have to repeat it to me, simple birthday"

...

"What is that thing in the garden shaped like an airplane wrapped in gift paper?"

Yea, something like that every year

There are a lot of unspoken words as he’s not one for flattery, but his actions speak for him.

He particularly enjoys taking you out on late-night walks

He has lots of things to do, so he likes to organize strict schedules so that he has enough time for you

Song: Dirty Mind by 3OH!3

The night air is thick with heat as you sit beside him on the couch, the soft glow of the city lights spilling through the windows. The two of you have been sitting in comfortable silence for a while, but there’s an unspoken tension between you, something electric that neither of you can ignore.

You shift slightly, the fabric of your dress brushing against his leg, and you don’t miss the way his breath hitches for a moment. His arm is draped casually over the back of the couch, but you can feel the subtle shift in his posture, the way he’s suddenly more aware of every small movement you make.

You turn to look at him, catching the flicker of something dark and playful in his eyes. There’s that familiar pull, the way he’s always so composed on the surface, but underneath, you can feel the heat simmering. And tonight, it feels different—charged.

Without a word, you lean in slightly, your shoulder brushing against his. You feel the tension ripple through him, but he stays still, watching you with a mixture of curiosity and anticipation. You smile, letting the moment linger as you trace a finger along the edge of his shirt collar, watching as his gaze flickers to your touch.

"You know," you say softly, your voice just above a whisper, "I can tell what’s on your mind."

He raises an eyebrow, a hint of a grin playing at his lips. "Oh, really?" His voice is low, teasing, but there’s an edge to it, a barely controlled desire that sends a thrill down your spine.

You nod, your eyes locked on his. "Yeah," you murmur, your fingers trailing down his chest, slow and deliberate. "You’re thinking about what you want to do, but you’re trying to hold back."

His smile falters slightly, the playful edge replaced by something darker, more intense. His hand moves to your waist, pulling you a little closer, but you can tell he’s still waiting, still letting you lead.

"You don't have to," you whisper, your breath warm against his skin as you lean in closer, your lips just barely grazing his ear. "I like it when you let go."

For a moment, he doesn’t move, the air between you thick with tension. Then, with a soft groan, his hands tighten on your waist, pulling you into his lap, his restraint slipping away as his lips brush against your neck. His breath is hot against your skin, and you can feel the heat of his desire, but you know he’s still holding back, waiting for you to give him the permission he craves.

You smile, your fingers tangling in his hair as you tilt your head, giving him more access. "Go ahead," you whisper, your voice low and teasing. "I don’t mind."
