joão drags his hand down his face, already halfway through explaining whichever football rule you asked about.
he’s clearly getting frustrated with the topic itself, words coming out faster and faster. except, every time he looks at you his expression seems to soften.
“listen, meu amor, if the defender is here—“ he points at the screen in front of you two, sighing dramatically. then immediately reaches over to squeeze your knee.
“you’re making me work today.” but despite the complaint, he starts the explanation all over again from the beginning.
his arm around your seat
the movie’s been playing for twenty minutes and joão hasn’t watched a second of it.
his arm is stretched lazily along the sofa behind you, fingers brushing your shoulder whenever you move. it’s not possessive, really, it’s just there.
often, you glance over and catch him already looking at you. his lips twitching into a smile before he looks back over to the television as if he’s been paying attention the whole time.
when he’s tired and keeps saying “mhm”
“and then she said she wasn’t even talking about me, which is absolutely ridiculous because—“
“mhm.”
you look over and see joão sprawled across the bed, one arm thrown over his eyes. he’s clearly seconds away from falling asleep from a long day at practice, but he’s somehow still listening.
“did you hear anything i just said?”
“yeah”
“okay… what did i say?”
he shifts his arm just enough to peek at you. “something about someone annoying you.” pause. “come here.”
you laugh softly as he makes room for you besides him right away.
taking his time while kissing you
the conversation somehow seems to fade away between one smile and the next.
joão's hand settles against your jaw, his thumb brushing your cheek as he leans in closer. there isn’t any rush to it. no impatience, no urgency.
he pauses for a second, eyes flicking down to your lips before meeting your again—giving you every oppourtunity to pull away. but when he finally kisses you, it’s slow and unhurried. smiling against his mouth.
putting on and taking off your heels
“lift your foot, amor.”
you blink and put your phone down.
joão is already kneeling in front of you, one hand resting on your ankle as he fastens the strap of your heel.
you laugh and ask what he’s doing, but he just shrugs. “helping.”
the entire time, he keeps looking up at you. not at the shoe, not at the buckle, at you.
later that night when the two of you are back home, he crouches down once again to undo the straps. “better?” he asks quietly while sliding the heels off your feet.
you nod with a soft smile and his grin comes immediately.
“good, meu amor.”
first joão fic and i'm a bit nervous that this is going to flop because of how dead football blr is 🙃 but overall i enjoyed writing this because i love joão so freaking much my dada since 2022 💓 i hope you all enjoy this !
summary: no one knows about joão’s girlfriend, until an invitation to go to a game and an undesired ship with one of his teammates leaves him no choice but to post you
fc: various girls from pinterest
request: here
a/n: in honor of portugal classifying to quarterfinals … love joão i swear!! sorry it took me so long to write this it was just very general but i still hope you like it <3

username WHAAAAT
username omg i can’t even process the first pic much less the other two
Brry spots like a tower of Netherite blocks in the middle of the casino as the jackpot for some game and he immediately locks in
They all need a moment to shine, obviously. Honeydew swindling people with words, somehow. Xephos and RT having their fun little rivalry. Lalna hacking into the casino systems, and then Brry right at the end using his VH knowledge to grab as much loot as possible before the whole thing shuts down/explodes.
But also YEAH him just locking in out of nowhere and swiping this grand prize is so funny.
It is imperative that Xephos gets stuck with RT at a poker table where RT is explaining way too much to him but he literally can’t leave because of the Mission or smth
RT: infodumping abt balatro
Xephos, watching the other three fuck up their roles: If you cause a scene Right Now I will do anything for you.
