“You blame me,” Xabi says quietly, mouth set in a hard line.
Granit blames a lot of things for their current standing in the table. The crossbar for being in the way. Neuer for suddenly remembering how to be a good goalkeeper. Leipzig for deciding that they should put on a masterclass performance against them – twice – but playing like a fourth-division team against Bayern. That foul on Flo not being given as a penalty last week.
every time I see a new post of granit and xabi being freaks ab each other I'm just like.....so y'all definitely would have kissed on live intl TV if y'all had won the uel then.... yk, stevie g style
*rubs hands* as someone who's an OG gerlonso fan since -checks notes- well. anyway. sorry my friend I gotta correct you there; Xabi is definitely DEFINITELY subby-er than Mikel. Mikel is peak bossy controlling bottom (in my head), but Xabi? nahhhhhh man's too soft spoken, has never played mind games (at least from what I remember lol idk his current persona), is not quite as witty I should say, such a perfect gentleman. prolly a bit of a pillow princess if we're rly going there. also *shrugsssss* in my head this is his first time having a top younger than him COUGH we love you granit!!!!! thank you for tuning in to my ted talk!!!! lollllllllll
ohh this is so interesting, thank you for the xabi thoughts...I don't think granit would be as rough with xabi as he is with mikel for sure, but i think i'm getting the brat part because xabi seems so smug whenever granit is gay in his presence 👀 i want to figure out how to write them so any Tips and Headcanons are appreciated hahah
uh so earlier mirano had the thought that xabi and granit may have played together in the old bundesliga days at bayern and gladbach...and it turns out they DID 😮 (and in granit's first year at arsenal, the blessed #29 days, too?)
and then years later...

You know that your days are numbered.
Football, like everything else in life, is finite. There will always be a final goal, a final match, a final chance at anything. You know this. You have always known this. It’s written in invisible ink inside the pages of every contract that you have signed.
Granit, Xabi, and the Real Madrid of it all.

Maybe this was always his destiny. Maybe Mikel coming in, finding a way to stop him from transferring to Hertha when he felt the desperate need to run away from Arsenal, was always supposed to happen so that he could break and learn and grow. Maybe, he was always meant to end up here, in Leverkusen, with Xabi. Right place, right time.
