ໃ sports AU of any kind. ]]

Dirk Strider has played soccer since he was five, growing with a love of the sport as well as the martial arts training he got from his brother. He's a fairly decent all-round player, being adept at defense, a brilliant midfield strategist, and an excellent forward set-up - not to mention being an okay hand as a goalie - but where he truly excels is as a striker, being the playmaker, the one to make things happen. In the fullness of time he goes from Little League soccer to his school team, gains a college scholarship, and eventually makes a pro team. From there it's just a matter of time before he joins the ranks of the American National team and is playing at the World Cup.

Naturally, that's the year America wins.

Though my mates be drained and weary And believe all hopes are lost There's no need for their bones On that blackened bottom Though death waits just off the bough We'll not answer to him now He shall stand to greet the morning light without us

I will not lie me down, this rain a-ragin' I will not lie me down, in such a storm And if this night be unblessed, I shall not take my rest Until I reach another shore

Draco writes 小日 (Xiao Ri) on the back of Dirk's hand, draws a sun on his shoulder and makes a smiley face with one or two of Dirk's scars. He also draws a sword down Dirk's side.

The Hanzi gets a small smile, the sun a flash of amusement as it provides an interesting counterpoint to the kirituhi dragon adorning the other shoulder. The smiley-face just gets a snort that might have been a laugh. The sword gets an appraising look. That one might become permanent.

Backstreet Boys - How Did I Fall In Love With You (In general)

Remember when, we never needed each otherThe best of friends likeSister and BrotherWe understood, we'd never be,AloneThose days are gone, and I want you so muchThe night is long and I need your touchDon't know what to sayI never meant to feel this wayDon't want to beAlone tonightWhat can I do, to make you mineFalling so hard so fast this timeWhat did I say, what did you do?How did I fall in love with you?I hear your voiceAnd I start to trembleBrings back the child that, I resembleI cannot pretend, that we can still be friendsDon't want to be,Alone tonightWhat can I do, to make you mineFalling so hard so fast this timeWhat did I say, what did you do?How did I fall in love with you?Oh I want to say this rightAnd it has to be tonightJust need you to know, oh yeahI don't want to live this lifeI don't want to say goodbyeWith you I wanna spendThe rest of my lifeWhat can I do, to make you mineFalling so hard so fast this timeWhat did I say, what did you do?How did I fall in love with you?What can I do, to make you mineFalling so hard so fast this timeEverything's changed, we never knewHow did I fall,in love ,with you?

Siren's Song - The Moon Will Follow You (How Dirk wishes it could go)

I dreamed we lived long ago in a far off time and land. Knights they rode for many leagues suitors for your hand. Some brought silver some brought gold, silks and perfume rare. But I brought you my own heart to win your hand so fair.

So, I'll bring the jewels from Ariadne's crown. I'll bring the ocean blue, the rain that falls without a sound all for the love of you. Apollo's chariot bright, Diana's too, I will bring you the stars at night and the moon will follow you, and the moon will follow you.

In my dream I pledged my love and placed your hand in mine and we walked on frosted fields while the bright stars shined.

So, I'll bring the jewels from Ariadne's crown. I'll bring the ocean blue, the rain that falls without a sound all for the love of you. Apollo's chariot bright, Diana's too, I will bring you the stars at night and the moon will follow you, and the moon will follow you.

Now this dream has come to pass as the world turns slowly around. We will go on through the years strong as the love we've found. As the fair sky turns to rainy shower and Aurora brings the dew. Sunshine and shadow will be your bower and the moon will follow you.

So, I'll bring the jewels from Ariadne's crown. I'll bring the ocean blue, the rain that falls without a sound all for the love of you. Apollo's chariot bright, Diana's too, I will bring you the stars at night and the moon will follow you, and the moon will follow you.

Leonard Cohen - Never Any Good (How Dirk usually feels it's going to go)

I was never any good at loving youI was never any good at comingthrough for youYou're going to feel much betterWhen you cut me loose foreverI was never any goodNever any goodI was never any good at loving you

I was dying when we metI bet my life on youBut you called me and I foldedlike you knew I'd doYou called my ace, my king, my bluffOkay, you win, enough's enoughI was never any goodNever any goodI was never any good at loving you

I was pretty good at taking outthe garbagePretty good at holding up the wallDealing with the fire and the earthquakeBut that don't countThat don't countThat don't count for nothing much at all

I was never any good at loving youI was just a tourist in your bed lookingat the viewBut I can't forget where my lipshave beenThose holy hills, that deep ravineI was never any goodNever any goodI was never any good at loving you

I was pretty good at taking out the garbagePretty good at holding up the wallI'm sorry for my crimes againstthe moonlightI didn't thinkI didn't thinkI didn't think the moon would mind at all

I was never any good at loving youAt doing what a woman really wantsa man to doYou're going to feel much betterWhen you cut me loose foreverI was never any goodNever any goodI was never any good at loving you

Leonard Cohen - I'm Your Man (The most accurate depiction of Dirk's feelings I have yet to see.)

If you want a loverI'll do anything you ask me toAnd if you want another kind of loveI'll wear a mask for youIf you want a partnerTake my handOr if you want to strike me down in angerHere I standI'm your man

If you want a boxerI will step into the ring for youAnd if you want a doctorI'll examine every inch of youIf you want a driverClimb insideOr if you want to take me for a rideYou know you canI'm your man

Ah, the moon's too brightThe chain's too tightThe beast won't go to sleepI've been running through these promises to youThat I made and I could not keepAh but a man never got a woman backNot by begging on his kneesOr I'd crawl to you babyAnd I'd fall at your feetAnd I'd howl at your beautyLike a dog in heatAnd I'd claw at your heartAnd I'd tear at your sheetI'd say please, pleaseI'm your man

And if you've got to sleepA moment on the roadI will steer for youAnd if you want to work the street aloneI'll disappear for youIf you want a father for your childOr only want to walk with me a whileAcross the sandI'm your man

If you want a loverI'll do anything you ask me toAnd if you want another kind of loveI'll wear a mask for you

Phil Collins - Wear My Hat

She came looking for me with her arms open wide,like some long lost friend of mine.She said 'Excuse me, but do you remember me ?'I said 'No, I don't believe I do'So she looked me up and downand undressed me with her eyes,then she said 'You've got everything I need, you've got everything I want'

So I said 'OK,you can wear my hat,you can have my coat,you can take my shirt'cos I don't need it.You can wear my shoes,you can take my socks,come on take my bag it's yours

If you love it,you can have it if you love it,ain't no problem if you love it,come on take it if you love it.

So her friend came up to mewith a pen and paper in her hand,expressing some interest in the number of my room,She said 'Excuse me, but do you remember me? 'I said 'No,' she said 'Can I appeal to you?'So I looked her up and downand realising her insinuations I blushedshe said 'Listen babe you don't know me,no you don't know me but you owe me,

and I love you,yes I love you,put your arms around me 'cos I love you,I got all your records and I love you'

So I suggestedyou can wear my hat,you can have my coat,you can take my shirt'cos I don't need it.You can wear my shoes,you can take my socks,come on take my bag it's yours

If you love it,you can have it if you love it,ain't no problem if you love it,come on take it if you love it.

Well later on that day this guy came to mewith a scrap of paper in his handhe said 'Hey buddy can you sign your name for me?'I said 'Why, do I owe you money?' He said 'No'I said 'Listen pal do I know you? Have we ever met?Why do you want my name on this little piece of paper?He said 'I love you,I don't know you but I love you,like my brother I love you,put your arms around me 'cos I love you'

I said 'Hey let's not rush thingsyou can wear my hat,you can have my coat,you can take my shirt'cos I don't need it.You can wear my shoes,you can take my socks,come on take my bag it's yours

If you love it,you can have it if you love it,ain't no problem if you love it,come on take it if you love it.

You can wear my hat,You can wear my hat,You can wear my hat,Come on wear my hat.'

Blackhawk - That's Just About Right

My old friend lives up in the mountainsHe flew up there to paint the worldHe says, "Even though interpretation's what I count onThis little picture to me seems blurredHard lines and the shadows come easyI see it all just as clear as a bellI just can't seem to set my easel to please meI paint my Heaven but it looks like hell"

Your blue might be gray, your less might be moreYour window to the world might be your own front doorYour shiniest day might come in the middle of the nightThat's just about right

He says, "Man I ain't comin' down until my picture is pefectAnd all the wonder is gone from my eyesDown through my hands and on to the canvasStill like my vision, but still a surprise""Real life," he says, "is the hardest impressionIt's always movin' so I let it come through"And that. my friend, I say, is the glory of true independenceJust to do what you do what you do what you do

Your blue might be gray, your less might be moreYour window to the world might be your own front doorYour shiniest day might come in the middle of the nightThat's just about right

My old friend came down from the mountainWithout even lookin' he found a little truthYou can go through life with the greatest intentionsBut you do what you do what you just gotta do

Your blue might be gray, your less might be moreYour window to the world might be your own front doorYour shiniest day might come in the middle of the nightThat's just about right

[Sheer excitement] Brows raising, Draco would kiss back and respond quite well to Dirk's sudden certainty, despite past criticisms of boldness in other areas of life. They'd surely make out for a while. Aww yeah.

And eventually Dirk would realize what he'd actually done, probably turn some shade of red and miss a beat or two but given the fact that Draco went with it just sort of be content that he hadn't screwed up too badly. Seriously, the boy walks on eggshells where Draco is concerned, he needs to fucking relax...
