    Summary

    Getting a call from Jude post-match isn't unusual; it just tends to come later in the night after Jude has already vented to her. He’d call Erling up, mouth loose from drink, and complain not only about the game but also about how she just didn’t get it.

    Erling keeps talking when Jude shows no signs of speaking up for himself. “She didn't go with you and Jobe to that event,” he points out.

    Jude remains silent. Erling pulls out his phone to check if the line disconnected after all, but the call timer is still ticking up. It’s more of an answer than Erling needed. “I'm sorry, Jude,” he murmurs.

    Jude huffs, vindictive and tired. “No, you're fucking not.”

    Erling could protest, could fight to prove his innocence, but he’s tired too, and it would ultimately be a lie. “You’re right.” He agrees.

    Or;

    Jude calls Erling after the Madrid derby and they cross paths one last time before the international break.

    Summary

    “What would your colleagues think? Cool, sensible Jude, having his world rocked by his personal trainer?”

    “You’re not even my personal trainer. You’re a personal trainer.”

    [Jude's got a controversially young admirer who won't leave him alone. It's a plague on his life, a constant source of dread and humiliation, and he doesn't enjoy it one bit. At all. Honest.]

    Summary

    There was still a season to play while life sorted itself out for Erling. Between that, and Erling’s last training, and Erling’s last match, and the goodbye party with the BVB staff, and the goodbye party with the team, and the goodbye party with the closer lads right now, it feels a bit like Jude’s spent the last few weeks trapped three goals down in stoppage time. The game’s as good as over, and here he is, tiring himself out with a few more pointless runs, his foolish mind hoping for it to stretch just long enough for something incredible to happen, while some deep instinct within him tenses for the inevitable—the final whistle making it real.

    Or, it's Erling's last night in Dortmund, and Jude walks him home.
