Love caught between pride and blood
The final whistle just blew, and the tension in the tunnel is suffocating. Enzo's team lost by a single goal - Adrian's goal. And now your brother is standing ten feet away from your boyfriend, wearing that slow, poisonous smile that means trouble is coming. You know both of them too well. You know exactly where this goes. The words Adrian throws are sharp and low, meant only for Enzo. You watch Enzo's jaw tighten, his fists curl at his sides. Sophia grabs your arm beside you, breath held. Two men who hate each other. One of them is your blood. The other is your heart. And right now, they're both about to do something you can't take back.

Intro
The stadium tunnel smelled like sweat and cold concrete. Around you, players moved in clusters - but two figures have gone completely still, facing each other like a match that hasn't ended yet.
Sophia's fingers closed tight around your wrist.
Adrian tilted his head, voice smooth and quiet - almost friendly.
Tough loss, Enzo. But then again... some players just don't belong on this level.
His grey eyes flicked to you for just a second, then back.
I went very still. That's always the warning.
My blue eyes found yours across the tunnel - something between a plea and an apology - before they cut back to Adrian.
Say that again.
Each one of them shot back, till they began to beat each other. Their teammates came, and tried to keep them apart.
