Assist
People say everything in life is giving and receiving. And Adam knows it's true. David gives him the ball, he receives the ball. He scores from it and runs towards him to hug him like there's no tomorrow as a thank you.
This is how their story begins.
Beer
«I know you want me... You know I want ya!» Adam is singing an obscene song walking towards him, adding a bit of dance as well, looking straight at him. David would usually laugh at that; this time, though, he finds himself trying to calm down breathing in and out. He fails, so he starts drinking the beer he has in his hands to keep himself busy.
Now Adam is in front of him. He takes his beer and drinks. Then he gives him the bottle back, David still o-mouthed, and goes away with a smug look on his face.
The only thing David can think after that is, «Mierda.»
Celebrations
They won, they fucking won.
For Adam, it's the first honour. He's over the moon, it's an amazing feeling. Months ago, he has asked David how it feels like to win something. David has the mentality of a winner, so he was sure they were going to win. He answered, «You'll see.»
Now, here they are, after they have won (he still can't believe it), on the podium, close to each other, smiling, jumping, and yelling with the rest of their teammates. While cleaning his face from all the champagne thrown at them with his scarf, David asks him, «Now do you understand?»
Adam looks at him and hugs David tighter.
He does.
Dressing room
Sometimes, just sometimes, they do everything they can to be the last ones to leave the dressing room. They don't have sex there, they don't want to risk, even if it's hard to stop themselves from doing it.
This time it's Adam's turn to watch David taking a shower. From his seat, the visual is fantastic. He has already showered but he's still just wearing only a pair of black boxer briefs. Anyways, soon it will be too hot for him if David continues this way. The guy knows how to play this game, he's moving his hands slowly on his own body because he knows Adam loves it. And he has that smirk on his face while doing it, that mischievous smirk that means he knows it too well, he knows too well he's driving Adam crazy and he won't stop.
Adam can't take it anymore. Fuck being cautious, for once it will be okay, it has to. He reaches David under the shower and hitches his legs up around his waist. Before kissing him and doing other really awesome things afterwards, David smiles, touches his nose with a finger, and says, «Mission accomplished.»
English
English is the biggest wall between them. Or at least, it should be: he came to England without even knowing a word in that language, and Adam doesn't speak Spanish. He should stick with the players that he can understand, and he does but... He sticks with Adam too. He was the first who went to meet him, they couldn't talk, but he said, «Adam, Adam Johnson,» and he answered, «David, David Silva.» Adam laughed at that, followed by him doing the same, and a handshake seems to have sealed this unspoken pact.
So, yeah, they still don't understand each other every time. Sometimes Adam has to speak very plainly and slowly. Sometimes they have to speak through hand gestures. But what's important, what's important to David, is they're willing to try, no matter how hard it gets.
First time
The first time Adam says «I love you», he's damn scared. David looks so serious for what it seems an eternity to him, but then he replies «I love you too». That and the smile he feels when David is kissing him make him think he must have done something really good in his past life to deserve all of this.
Girls
Adam loves parties. He loves the clubs, the music, the girls. He really does, especially the girls. The thing is, since David came in, he wants to impress him more than them. The thing is he only wants to impress him.
Shit. He's fucked.
Honesty
«Look at you two, guys! So fit, really deceeeeent!» Joe is near them while suiting up like the rest of the team for a charity dinner.
«Honestly, I think we really are,» David searches for Adam's eyes through the mirror.
«Yeah, I do too,» Adam says, winking at him, helping him fix his jacket. He rolls his eyes.
Then, in the middle of the room, Joe starts singing "Someone is gonna get laid tonight" on the notes of The Lion King's "Can you feel the love tonight", causing the general amusement. Everyone laughs.
Adam whispers in his ear, «That as well!»
David can't wait for it.
Intimacy
«Adam, por favor, stop giggling so hysterically! We won't finish anything otherwise, and I really, really want to!» They have waited a lot to spend some time alone, with no matches in between, and now Adam is acting like this. The waiting can drive some people crazy, but David didn't know Adam was one of those people.
«I'm trying, I swear! The thing is, we waited for so long, I can't believe we're finally naked in the same bed again!»
«Then start believing it!» Still, Adam continues to giggle. David can't take it anymore and decides this needs an end. He goes on top, blocks Adam's wrists, and stops that giggling that's driving him crazy with a deep kiss. Now Adam seems to remember what to do. Thank God.
«Remind me to giggle more often. I like it when you're so bossy,» Adam teases him, after the sex.
Flushed, David hides his face against Adam's neck, «We'll see, we'll see.»
Joke
«Have you seen what I did here?» Adam asks to Gareth and Joe. After he sees them nodding, he turns to David, «You laughed to an English joke for the first time. You got an English joke! We must celebrate!»
They all look so proud, especially Adam, since they always help David to settle as best as he can in England. Their mission is going pretty well.
«Okay, okay. I'll offer the first round!» David says dramatically shaking a fist in the air.
Everybody claps their hands at that, and Adam goes to hug him, «You're the best!»
Kettle
Adam is still shocked. David doesn't know how to use a kettle. He has always thought it would be impossible not to, but then it comes this Spanish lad.
After trying to recover from this news (he doubts he will ever do), he decides David can't live without knowing how to make a proper tea.
The result in the end is not that bad, but Adam will keep giving him lessons in order to make him get an A in tea-making (and spend a lot of time together).
Last
David is the last one to celebrate the goal Adam scored, the one he dedicated to his friend Dale.
He arrives late when the other guys help Adam to take off his shirt and show the message, and then he decides to leave him alone to point a finger to the sky. Only after that, David hugs him.
He would like to say, «You're not alone. We are here and your friend will always be by your side from now on.»
Adam looks at him, incredibly sad, and says, «I know.»
Magic
«So you'd name a magic snail David Silva. I don't know if I should be offended.»
«Oh, don't be. Besides, I don't need one, I already have you in person willing to grant every wish of mine,» Adam chuckles.
Embarrassed, David punches Adam in the arm, because he knows too well what he is referring to.
Nose
«Adaaam, it's so cold, I don't want to go out there!» David is moping. English weather is no-one's best friend, and he's not used to it. Adam gets it, he expected something like that to happen, sooner or later. He wished it was later though, spring is still very distant. «Look, Adam, touch my nose! I can't feel it!»
«David. Listen to me,» Adam is staring at him with both hands on David's cold cheeks. «For five minutes I'll be damn serious. I'll explain to you how to survive to a training in the English winter. All my tips.» David nods trembling.
After that "survival course", David doesn't complain anymore about his nose falling off. And he looks like a fucking ninja with all those things he is wearing. Adam calls it a win, trying not to laugh in his face and failing to do so. David laughs along with him, so he doesn't try to control himself anymore.
Over
Sometimes he's afraid David won't ever be over Villa. He watches old videos of their time at Valencia, and he can't help feeling a bit insecure. But then, he remembers how David looks at him every time, not just on the pitch, but off as well, like now, and he starts feeling a damn lucky idiot.
Photo
When David asks him to take a photo together with the Cup, he agrees immediately. But then, Adam hesitates, a bit anxious when it comes to put an arm around David's neck. David doesn't like being photographed. He tries everything he can to avoid it. Adam knows it too well. That makes him understand how much this means for David.
He doesn't hesitate anymore.
Qt
David has been trying to understand this text for ten minutes now. He gives up and asks Gareth, who's sitting next to him at the table, «When someone writes you qt, what do they want to mean?»
«Some girl is telling you that? I know every girl in Carrington thinks that of you. Anyway, it means cute.» Gareth goes back to eating, he replies to the text.
In front of him, he sees Adam choking, flushing and looking at him, all at the same time, while putting back his phone in the pocket trying to be cool.
David thinks it's a fair paycheck for those ten minutes he had to spend to understand that message instead of staring at him in a suit. Of course, he won't ever tell Adam he has already put that text in the "saved messages" folder in his phone.
Razor
They're late for training once again, so David goes under the shower and Adam starts shaving his beard at the same time. While showering, David sings some Spanish song Adam can't understand, but it's okay, he can sing in tune and it's the damn morning, Adam's brain refuses to do more than just keep his eyes open.
David has now finished and he's naked and wet with just a towel around his waist, Adam's brain can't cope to register all this hotness (he will never get used to it) and he cuts himself a little bit while shaving. «Fuck!»
«Careful with that razor, Adam!»
«It's your fault, you know?»
«Hahaha, don't blame my perfection because you don't know how to shave.»
David leaves the bathroom to pick up some clothes to put on, so Adam shouts, «At least I shave!»
Still
«Stay still.»
«Adam, what? What are you doing?»
«I'm hiding, can't you see that?»
«I can, that's why I'm asking. If you want to hide, go after Joe or Micah or Edin or, well, everyone who's taller than me, which is actually all of you, unfortunately for me.»
«Shhh! Vinnie loves you, he will never hurt you. And- and you love me, don't you? Make him love me too and forget the prank I played him early, pleeease!»
David laughs and then his look softens. «Okay, okay, I'll try my best. Now stay quiet,» he says after seeing their Kaptain walking towards them with a fake angry face, trying not to smile, because David knows Vinnie couldn't ever be angry at Adam, he is like a little brother to him.
Touch
Sometimes he wants to touch David so bad but he can't because they're with the other lads. So, he pushes him. David looks at him and understands.
He pushes Adam back.
Unbelievable
«You're fucking unbelievable!» Adam and David are lying in bed, «You're seriously a magician! How did you do know anything like that could make you feel like you're in Heaven?»
«A magician never tells how he learnt his tricks. You should know it by now,» David is trying not to laugh.
«Oh, come on, man! These sheets are amazing! And you bought them without even looking at them, I saw you!»
With a smile on his face, he decides kissing Adam is the best thing to do, before he starts rambling about making love with the sheets instead of him. They're new after all!
Vegas
When Joe asks him to spend the holidays with them in Las Vegas after he's done with the international friendlies, David doesn't know how to answer. He looks at Adam's pleading face that seems screaming come on, say yes! and then he hears himself saying, «I have to ask Ransel and my other friends, but they love you guys, you can already consider it a yes.»
Writing
«Adam, what did you write here?»
«Merry Christmas!» Adam says, like it's obvious.
«It's a Christmas card, I know what it's supposed to say! I mean the single letters! I don't want to make mistakes on my card, so I'm copying yours but your writing is not helping!»
«Hey! When I was a kid, my elementary teacher said my As are beautiful, so shut up. I win.»
«Surely she said that to not break your poor young heart! And did you know the alphabet has other twenty-five letters?»
«Gimme that card, I'll write it for you and I'll show you how much my writing rocks.»
Only after Adam gives him the card back, David says «Thank you, but your writing still sucks.» He gives him a quick kiss and then runs away followed by Adam, both laughing.
«You can't outrage me first and then give me only a quick kiss!»
Xbox
David picks his phone and dials Adam's number (he would like not to remember it by heart, it's so lame, but he does and he can't help it).
«Hi Adam! Are you at home?»
«Hi, David. And, yes, I am. I'm playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, of course. Shit!»
«"Shit", what?»
«Nothing, nothing, it was something in the game.»
«You need some... support?»
«Yeah, yeah, if you want. I'll be concentrated on the game though, I have to tell you.»
«Nah, don't worry, I'll text David Villa instead.»
«What? Get your Spanish ass over here immediately! Geez, you're the only one who can make me decide to stop playing. Consider it an honour!»
David is laughing, «I will, I promise. Fifteen minutes and I'll be there!»
Yes
They are still in his bed, under the sheets, naked. Neither of them talks. It's awkward and Adam doesn't want it to be. This is the first time it's more than a stolen kiss, more than a stolen moment. Actually, this is a really important step for them. Anyway, Adam knows he did something good back then, and so did David, therefore it's not because of that. Still, this silence is overwhelming. Suddenly, it strikes Adam: David doesn't know what to do. It's so obvious for him he didn't think of saying it out loud before.
«Stay,» he nudges David's foot with his. A question inside a statement.
David smiles this time and hits Adam back. They end up wrestling on his bed, laughing.
Now Adam is on top, he blocks David. They are still panting.
«You didn't give me an answer. Will you stay? Do you want to stay?»
«Yes.»
An understanding, a kiss, and an other round starts.
Zero
Ten are the houses Adam took David to see before he decided the perfect one to buy for himself and his family. Nine are the photos they took in Las Vegas that they will never share. Eight are the Spanish restaurants David and Adam went to eat before David gave up his task to find the one that could cook Spanish cuisine for real. Seven are the days that passed from their first meeting before David asked Adam his number just showing his phone because he didn't want to make a fool of himself with his non-existent English. Six are the days in which they didn't talk to each other because of the biggest fight they ever had, something neither of them wants to repeat. Five are the weeks that occurred to David to say his first long sentence in English. Four are the beers they drank before having the courage to kiss. Three are the teammates that know (Joe, Gareth and Pablo), the others just wonder what there is between them but their idea is actually the truth. Two are the attempts Adam had to make before saying David's name with the right pronunciation. One is the number they share: Adam is David's eleven, David is Adam's twenty-one.
Zero are the seconds they needed to realize they were going to be amazingly good together.
People say everything in life is giving and receiving. And Adam knows it's true. David gives him the ball, he receives the ball. He scores from it and runs towards him to hug him like there's no tomorrow as a thank you.
This is how their story begins.

Now Adam is on top, he blocks David. They are still panting.
«You didn't give me an answer. Will you stay? Do you want to stay?»
«Yes.»
An understanding, a kiss, and an other round starts.
Zero
Ten are the houses Adam took David to see before he decided the perfect one to buy for himself and his family. Nine are the photos they took in Las Vegas that they will never share. Eight are the Spanish restaurants David and Adam went to eat before David gave up his task to find the one that could cook Spanish cuisine for real. Seven are the days that passed from their first meeting before David asked Adam his number just showing his phone because he didn't want to make a fool of himself with his non-existent English. Six are the days in which they didn't talk to each other because of the biggest fight they ever had, something neither of them wants to repeat. Five are the weeks that occurred to David to say his first long sentence in English. Four are the beers they drank before having the courage to kiss. Three are the teammates that know (Joe, Gareth and Pablo), the others just wonder what there is between them but their idea is actually the truth. Two are the attempts Adam had to make before saying David's name with the right pronunciation. One is the number they share: Adam is David's eleven, David is Adam's twenty-one.
Zero are the seconds they needed to realize they were going to be amazingly good together.
