Daniel and Max injury recovery au

making them footballers sorry i have like. brainrot rn 💥🫡

it's terrifying when Daniel gets injured. he doesn't expect it to happen-- it's a normal day of training, not even during a game. they're running drills together, pierre's just passed to him. he goes to kick it and it's like something just- pops, and then all he can feel is pain-hurt-loud. he falls over, can't even control his body as he yells. his leg feels like a foreign thing attached to him, just a throbbing mass. he can hear somebody shouting, feet running across to him before he closes his eyes.

it's any athletes worst nightmare-- cruciate ligament injury, or in laymans terms, his ACL. everyone knows it takes you out for at least a year, and daniel... he isn't going to say it will ruin him. he's got some good years left and it won't be a career ending thing, but it takes away his dreams of the year ahead of him, finally feeling like he was in better shape than ever. his coach, his team comes in to talk to him. lewis takes his hand, firm and steady, his big eyes as he says youll come back daniel, we'll all wait for you.

they do have to replace him though. for a while he doesn't want to meet the guy, it makes a hot jealous awful feeling rush through him, the idea of someone else in his place, nightmares of the manager deciding they dont need him after all. christian likes him but-- it's a fear that he thinks anyone would have, even though his contract doesn't run out for another 4 years. he does suck it up though. he needs to do whats best for the team, and the best thing is to help them be at the top, together, even if he won't stand with them. max verstappen is a young dutch player from the academy, boosted up. everyone's been talking about him for a while as a major talent, an equally talented player in the midfield assisting or in striking goals. rumours are that he trains all the time, relentlessly.

daniel stands at the side of the pitch, watching them. he's got his cast on, crutches holding him up as he hobbles around. he sees pierre tap max, point daniel out on the side. he waves awkwardly and max says something sideways to pierre before jogging up to him. they greet, daniel says somethign stupid that makes max flush and he goes aw man. i do have to be nice to the kid. he's all awkward gangly lines and doesn't know how to talk about anything but football. daniel is very charmed

AHH long story short daniel helps max train and fit in with the team, brings him into the fold (max was like not talking to anyone out of social awkwardness and #everyone is the competition even though its a team sport) he wheedles christian into letting him train in the right winger position (daniels) just the once, man, he's really good you won't regret it. max is beaming, throws his sweaty arms around daniel afterwards. they do A LOT of that hand cupping face athlete thing under the guise of heterosexuality but like. theyre gay (they dont know it) and then max does amazing in his rookie year, even if he fouls RELENTLESSLY, red card max, he says one time the refs hate him and everyones like.... yup. yes. <3 but then daniel is back, he walks onto the pitch and max pucnhes him in the shoulder and says i am of course excited to actually compete with you now and daniel is like ur a psycho! talk to me normal (affectionate) and then yeah they like fall in love xx
