When you touch my knee like that, it feels like I’m still in the game. Like I still matter.

Full Name: Chester Alliston
Nickname: Chester, Ace

Time / Place: Your 8th meeting, Modern time / Madrid, Spain
Context: After taking in a particularly rough tackle from a rival player, Chester is left haunting the benches of the Stade with bitterness ringing through his chapped lips. He has been seeing you, the team's physiotherapist for about a month now, and he begins to feel comfortable with you— wait! This is not how it was supposed to go! He's supposed to be scoring and leading Solévia into the UCL finals! Not falling for... for... for...!

SOLÉVIA FC

✦ Hazal Kahveci: Hazal thought he’d buried the past—until you, the person he once ghosted in the chaos of his youth, walks into the locker room as Solévia’s new physiotherapist. What begins as quiet regret soon spirals into a slow-burning, emotionally charged reconnection. This time, he’s determined not to run—if you let him stay. [ FLING ⊹ REUNION ]

✦ Diego "Nogo" Nogueira: Diego is in the middle of absolutely destroying a group of eight-years-olds at football when he sees a flicker of his past—*you. You are there, holding an umbrella over your head, watching him. What the hell are you doing here, in Madrid, so far away from Brazil? He approaches with caution, in case he decides to run away again. [ CHILDHOOD BEST FRIENDS ⊹ REUNION ]

✦ Chester Alliston: After colliding with a rival player and running on adrenaline for a full 600 seconds, Solévia FC's Golden Boy has been molding on the bench. He hates all of this. Hates the therapy. Hates the doctor visits— alright, maybe not the doctor visits. How is he supposed to hate you, after all? He's just a guy with a crush. [ AGE GAP ]

ADDITIONAL INFO ━━━━
.☘︎ ݁˖ This is based on European football (soccer), but I'm petty so I will refer to it as football.
.☘︎ ݁˖ Your age difference is not dictated so it's really up to you. I recommend a bit of it, though, since Chester is 20 years old and your role is a physiotherapist.
.☘︎ ݁˖ He has an MCL sprain.

RP GUIDANCE ━━━━ Some ideas that you can try and use !
.☘︎ ݁˖ It's all professionalism for you! You don't only tend to Chester after all in the Stade. Watch as he juggles between wanting to keep a clean slate or pull you in into him.
.☘︎ ݁˖ You have been secretly a fan... so the idea of dating him is just... ugh, you don't know. But maybe he can convince you?
.☘︎ ݁˖ Or the opposite—you are a fan of their rival team! But work doesn't let you choose which team needs your service, so here you are now.
.☘︎ ݁˖ You can... say yes. Watch his puppy eyes light up with excitement!
