cw. angst, friends-to-lovers

wc. 848

today was one of those bittersweet days. like, the last day of summer, or the last footsteps before moving houses. you’d been experiencing just that on your last day before leaving the country for school, alongside your best friend, jude.

you had no real family. for the longest time, it’d just been you two. it was complicated at home, and being around him was an escape. he made you feel numb. whenever something happened, you’d be at his window in an instant, ready to vent on his bedroom floor while he just sat and listened.

rain tapped the windshield, and you were snug in the passenger seat of his car. something on your shared playlist had been playing at twenty-something percent. this bit felt a little déjà vu-ish. but, in a good way.

“today was fun,” you blurted mid-conversation, shifting your gaze from the road to the boy next to you, behind the steering wheel. 

“i’m gonna miss this a lot, y’know.”

he hummed. his giggles from a few seconds ago quickly faded. 

you quickly realized your faults, mentioning the topic that’d been so thorny but, at the same time, imminent. it was hard to not bring it up, though. going the entire day trying to ignore it was hell. and as much as you wanted to seize the moment, time doesn’t stop.

“yeah,” he replied, quickly coughing away the tremble in his voice.

“since when did my best friend become so grown?”

you chuckled, shaking your head as you turned away to peek out of your side of the window.

“this could’ve been you too, jude. just quit football and stay with me,” you suggested, already mindful of his response.

he chuckled a bit. “or, you could just come and live with me while i work. i wouldn’t mind.”

you grinned, watching the rain as it trickled down the glass. as much as it sounded fun to never have to work or pay bills, you didn’t want your ‘independent’ persona taken away from you. maybe he just asked this question as a test to see if you’d say yes. not today, jude.

“mmm, no,” you responded. 

“let me enjoy my little parties and hookups. i don’t wanna be all professional like you at nineteen.”

he snickered, “you mean you're gonna be in your room studying all day?”

“shut up,” you rolled your eyes, watching as he turned into the airport entrance, the moment you’d been dreading all day.

opening your door as he parked, you ushered toward the trunk, quickly grabbing your luggage so the rain wouldn’t hit you so badly. 

“let me grab this,” he insisted, hovering over the bulkier bags.

your heart began to race, and your breathing was a little heavier as you paced toward the automatic doors of the entry. 

now, you two are face to face. and this is really the last time you'll be seeing him, or at least being in his embrace for a while.

“well,”

“this is it, isn’t it?” he muttered.

tears quickly welt up in your eyes, threatening to spill at any moment. the rain, harder than before, left the both of you drenched.

“yeah,” your voice cracked. the boy in front of you, who usually appeared stoic, appeared a bit antsy as he rocked in place.

“promise me you won’t do anything dumb without me there,” he pleads, a trace of uneasiness in his voice as he stares you down.

“mm, no promises,” you replied.

he clicked his tongue, silently berating you for your foreseen actions.

“i’m just kidding. i’ll be on my best behavior,” you reassured him, shooting him a smile.

“come here,” he prompted, extending his arms for a final hug.

eagerly, you slipped into his chest. his arms are tight around your waist, and you have to tip-toe up a little to reach his height. there’s no other feeling quite like this, but knowing it’s your last for a while, tears tumbled from your eyes.

your heels plopped to the floor and at this point, your faces are inches from each other—his cold breath trickling over your cheek. at once, his lips laced into yours. his hand instinctively pressed against your cheek and stayed there quite comfy. while it caught you off guard, it felt, in a sense, innate. his lips were sweet, and he kissed tenderly. his lips also tasted a little minty, and you realized he’d finally been using the chapstick you recommended to him months ago.

you pulled away slowly, whimpering as your lips left his. he seemed distraught, or maybe mesmerized by the kiss? there was a tinge of your gloss that lingered throughout his lips, which you thought was cute.

“i should get going now,” you muttered. “my flight is gonna board soon.”

“uhh, right,” he replied, your words bringing him back to reality.

“make sure to text me when you land, okay?”

“mhm.” 

“don’t miss me too much,” you smiled before walking into the building.

as you took a final look back at him, he waved at you with sanguine eyes as he disappeared into the rain.

࿐ ˚ . ✦ BABY FEVER. jude bellingham

summary. you and jude visit your sister who recently had a baby, and he (unsurprisingly) is more excited than you to meet the newborn.

cw. just fluff

word count. 1008

it was a foggy morning. you and jude were on your way to visit your sister who recently gave birth to your first niece. naturally, you were very excited. seeing her on facetime would make you giddy. since the beginning of the road trip, you’ve been thinking of the countless things you’d do with your new niece while staying over. 

the entire car ride, you and your boyfriend had been talking about life concerns—work, friendships, and, of course, how you two would react to the new baby. you were teasing him, claiming that he’d be more excited than you would be. and to be honest, seeing the way he’d immediately become infatuated when around his teammates’ kids made you melt inside—like, to the point of considering having children this young. 

“you seriously think i’ll be more excited than you?! that’s your niece, for god’s sake!” jude exclaimed, eyes widening in disbelief, as his hands brushed the leather of the wheel.

you knew you were going to be in love with the new addition to your family, but you always loved bantering with jude about things like these, knowing how irritated and unsure he’d be.

you chuckled, looking over at the distraught boy. “nah, i see how you get all cheery when you’re around kids. there’s no denying it, darling.”

“well, that’s different. especially cause this is your niece we’re talking about, y/n,” he ranted, darting a quick glare at you before returning his gaze back to the road.

you fixed your posture towards him, resting your elbow on the armrest, glancing at him. “well,” you paused, “you wanna bet?”

“what? that’s so stupid, babe.” he scoffed. his shoulders stiffened a little while replying to your hypothetical question. “jude, just say that you’ll love her more than me. i won’t be hurt.” he rolled his eyes as you continued to tease him.

“whatever, we’ll be there in somewhere around 15 minutes, so we’ll really see who’ll be more excited,” he sassed, shaking his head. you giggled before digressing into another random topic.

finally, you pulled into the driveway of your sister's home. you were ecstatic, immediately jumping out of the car and popping the trunk to grab your bags, as you were going to be staying for a few days. “what’s taking you so long, grandpa?” you yelled at jude, who was taking his sweet time to leave the car for whatever reason. his shoes shuffled as he lazily walked toward the back to collect the rest of the luggage. sure, he just drove 3 hours straight, but he just wasn’t walking quickly enough for your pace. he shot you a glare before grabbing some of the bags left in the car.

you dropped the luggage on the porch before firmly knocking on the door, which quickly opened, revealing your sister’s warm smile. you immediately greeted her, pulling her in for a tight hug before jude approached the two of you.

you and jude stepped into the foyer with your bags. you immediately took a deep inhale of the new environment, which is routine, of course. “i’m sure you want to see the baby already,” your sister paused, turning around “come follow me,” she signaled as she walked up the stairs. you glanced over at jude, eager to see the newborn. he exchanged your excitement, beaming at you.

“and here she is,” your sister opened the door, revealing a dainty nursery. you wobbled toward the crib, softening when facing the sleeping bundle of joy. you turned over at her, covering your mouth out of pure shock and admiration. she nodded, walking towards you. “you can hold her, just be gentle,” she whispered as you silently scooped your niece.

“she’s beautiful,” you murmured before bouncing the baby. looking at the faint face made your stomach coil. you were internally screaming out of joy. 

“i should probably go heat up her milk before she wakes up,” your sister spoke, breaking the silence, “i’ll leave you two alone for a sec, i’ll be back soon,” she said before the door clicked shut.

“isn’t she pretty?” you whispered, following a nod from jude.

"would you like to hold her, my love?" you paused before extending your arms slightly. he carefully held the baby from your arms without reluctance. his pretty, puppy dog eyes seemed so fascinated with the newborn in his arms. you watched as a faint smile spread on his face. it was impossible not to melt when you saw the two of them together.

“aren’t you the cutest baby ever?” he whispered. he looked back up at you, mouthing what seemed to be ‘i can’t,’ causing you to giggle. you scooted closer to the two before caressing the baby's chubby cheeks. the baby briefly yawned, causing you two to gasp from the cuteness.

after having dinner with your sister and brother-in-law, you were chatting with your boyfriend on the bed about casual topics, but you couldn’t help but notice the number of times he’d bring up how adorable the baby was, or how he’d immediately jump when the baby would cry. 

“jude, you really talk about that baby more than me,” you exclaimed.

“y/n, i can’t help it. she’s so adorable,” he winced, hiding in his hands. “see—this was exactly what i was talking about in the car and you denied every one of my words. you’re so predictable.” you sighed, glancing at the cheesing boy. 

he shrugged following your declarative. “you know—” he muttered with a suggestive tone.

“jude if you’re gonna say anything about us having a baby, i’m gonna shut you down. we’re teenagers, in case you forgot,” you interrupted.

“you know me so well,” he clicked his tongue, before glancing at the clock. “but, can we go back to see the baby before she falls asleep?” he squeaked, turning toward you with doe eyes.

“you’re so annoying,” you huffed before rolling off of the bed, where he immediately followed, chuckling. “you love me, though,” he whispered in your ear as you immediately shook your head.

pickup lines - jude bellingham

today you had decided to try a tik tok trend on your boyfriend that you had seen as you were scrolling through your for you page. it consisted of saying pickup lines at random times but getting them on video to see the reactions you received.

knowing jude, you knew this would end hilariously and all of your followers had been asking for you to post another video with him again because they absolutely loved them. of course you got the most idiotic pick up lines you could find to make this whole experience even more chaotic.

"hey everyone, so today i have decided to try some pickup lines on jude to see how he reacts.

line 1:

"okay, i have my first pick up line. and jude just got home." you said to the camera as you placed the phone on the kitchen counter.

"y/n/n i'm home." jude yelled as he walked through the door. he walked towards you before kissing your forehead and embracing you in a hug. you smiled and pulled away before speaking up.

"jude?"

"hm?" he hummed.

"feel my shirt. do you know what it's made of?" you asked and he looked at you oddly before pinching some of the fabric. "girlfriend material."

"no way you just said that. nah. you are on some joke." jude chuckled.

"what do you mean? i thought it was pretty good."

"no way you thought of that yourself." jude spoke as he walked out of the kitchen and towards your bedroom. you turned to look at the camera and made a silly face before turning it off.

line 2:

"okay, we're about to go to bed, i wanna see what he'll say." you whispered in the bathroom as you filmed the video.

"babe, can you come here for a second. i need to show you something!" you yelled and soon enough you heard jude's footsteps approaching your bathroom.

"yeah of course, what do you need darling?" he asked before walking through the door.

"woah, give me a sec. i was blinded by your beauty, i'm gonna need your name and phone number for insurance purposes." you said before winking.

"ooh ooh ooh. okay that one was good. you just boosted my ego up to like 50." he was jumping excitedly as he spoke. "second time today too. are you getting these on video or something?" jude asked as he looked around.

"you bet. look." you giggled as you pointed to the camera.

"man, get you a girl who will shower you with pick up lines... ah, i love you." jude said as he hugged you and kissed your head.

line 3:

"guys i didn't think these would go as well as they did. but jude is really enjoying the pickup lines. currently its 8am, and i am hiding in the bathroom again. i'm gonna find a pick up line, go and lay down with my phone recording and say it. jude usually wakes up around this time so let's see how this goes." you said before you walked out of the bathroom and laid in your bed next to jude, who cuddled into you. you turned on the video to get both of you in it before whispering.

"baby. good morning." you smiled.

"hm. hi." he said with his morning voice still evident. he was half awake so you couldn't blame him.

"jude..."

"hm?" he groaned, his eyes still closed and now he grabbed on to you tighter.

"are you google? because you've got everything i've been searching for." you chuckled after you got the last word out. jude still hadn't opened his eyes but he was smiling and you had gotten it on camera.

"10 out of 10." he replied as he kissed your cheek. slowly, he opened his eyes and looked directly at your phone. when he saw himself on the screen, he stuck his tongue out and you stopped recording.

line 4:

"okay guys, i am in the car and we are about to go to our friend's house. jude just locked the front door and is heading our way. i'm going to do another pick up line on him. okay, here we go." you said to the camera before jude opened the door.

"you ready darling?" jude asked as he sat in the driver's seat.

"yeah... oh wait! did you get a map?" you asked.

"wh-no... why would i need a map?" jude asked confused.

"well because... i keep getting lost in your eyes." you responded innocently.

jude looked at you before dropping his head on the steering wheel and chuckling. his laughs were muffled by his coat, but when he looked at you he looked so happy and relaxed.

"why are you looking at me like that?" you asked with a giggle.

"ugh, i can't get enough of you." he pecked your lips before closing the car door and starting the car.

line 5:

"hey guys. okay i swear i find myself in the bathroom every time i decide to do one of these. anyways, this will be the final pick up line because i'm running out of time in the video. but currently, we're at jude's parents house, his mum, dad and jobe are all here. we're about to eat dinner and i've decided to completely humiliate myself and jude with this little trend of mine. so i'm going to be saying the pickup line at the table. i already told his mom so she will be video taping for me." you whispered before walking out of the bathroom and bringing the phone to jude's mom.

you, jobe and jude's parents sat down at the table before jude so his mom was already recording while jobe and mark were looking at you two confused.

"jude! hurry up. we're not waiting all day!" his mom yelled.

"okay, i'm here! im here!" he responded before he sat down next to you.

"oh wait jude can you get me the salt?" you asked and he walked over to the kitchen cabinet and grabbed it. "by the way-" you were about to say the line before he sneezed. so you took this as an opportunity to use another pick up line.

"i'd say god bless you but it seems he already has." you grinned.

"woah, how'd you time that so well?" jude asked astonished as he sat down. he still hadn't realized that his mom was recording.

"i didn't i was going to use another line, but i got lucky and you sneezed so I could use that one." you replied.

"you two are gross." jobe spoke up. "and why is it getting recorded?" jobe pointed to the camera before jude quickly turned his head.

"you were in on this too?!" he asked pointing at his mom.

"i didn't know what y/n would say, but i offered to video tape." denise replied.

"i swear you pick the most random times too. i never thought, with the four times you did it... this one being five! i never saw it coming." jude chuckled.

his mom handed you your phone and you posted the full video and showed it to jude's parents, who got a good chuckle out of it. jude smiled as you interacted with his family and squeezed your hand signaling for you to look at him. you looked up and he mouthed i love you, and kissed your head, before letting you continue with your conversation.
