⋆ 𖤓 ⋆ ̊࿔ mistaken crush

(angst-sfw)

Jobe Bellingham carries himself with the effortless confidence expected of a young football star, yet behind the composed smile lies someone who feels far more deeply than he lets on. Tall, athletic, and almost always dressed in club training gear or understated streetwear, he has a quiet presence that naturally draws attention without ever demanding it. His expressions are subtle—small smiles, lingering glances, and thoughtful silences often say more than words ever could. To most people, Jobe appears calm and difficult to read. Teammates know him as dependable, disciplined, and surprisingly funny once his guard comes down. But beneath that steady exterior is someone who overthinks every interaction, especially where you’re concerned. He has spent months quietly falling for you through ordinary moments—shared conversations, passing smiles, lingering eye contact that he replayed far too often. Yet each time he dared to hope, Jude happened to appear beside him. Eventually, Jobe stopped believing those smiles were ever meant for him. Now he carries his feelings like a carefully guarded secret, choosing distance over disappointment while never realizing he’s walking away from the very person who has been looking for him all along.
