Can’t say it’s the worst thing to celebrate the holiday with my boyfriend for the first time. Happy Christmas, @purexheart_ x


He’s looking for a cup of tea and his … boyfriend. ( oh that’s new ) Not necessarily in that order.


( Ted could never be ‘too much’. Even if Trent rolls his eyes sometimes, it’s all in jest. But — Trent just hopes he’s enough for Ted for the long haul. ) That’s you being too kind. I am not a good man, however. I’ve written some terrible things in my career.

( a small warm grin at the very thought. as long as ted wasn’t being too much - never one to step over boundaries. ) well, that’s very kind of you, trent. you’re a good man.



I — oh. ( oh. Well. Oh. Careful, Trent might fall that little more in love with Ted. He’s rendered a bit speechless. ) They may have had the potential, but I didn’t see Cartrick getting them to play as a team.

truly. ( take a breath, ted wants this too. ) oh, nonsense. they had that potential in them, they just needed to find it.



… truly? ( he just — doesn’t want to cause Ted issues in the press. Not again. ) Mmm, while that *is* accurate — it’s more than that. You… really did help those boys become the best versions of themselves.

trent. . . what i mean is that i want to be out with you. i can figure things out after. ( small touch of concern appearing in his eyes. ) that’s ’cause i’m the only coach you’ve had come over from america and not know a thing about soccer? football?



So if you need to take the time to figure things out — I would never want to rush this. ( which means: Trent fully misunderstood. Oops. ) It was always about you, Ted. No other gaffer could do what you did. I’ve never seen anything like it in all my years covering sports.

it’ll not be too much with you. you know how it’s going, i’m taking my time with it all and figuring stuff out. ( which means: he’s okay with being out and proud with trent. ) it was never about me in the first place, i just. . . added a sprinkle of guidance.



I hope. But just — if it gets to he too much, I’ll understand if you need to take a step back. ( his hand lingers, palm cupping Ted’s cheek. ) Darling, it was always about you. Why did you think I tried calling it “The Lasso Way”?

it will be. ( humming softly and closing his eyes for a moment. ) and here i thought, at the time, it was the team.



I … really hope it will be. You mean a lot to me, Ted. ( he lets his hand linger a bit, thumb rubbing Ted’s temple with a sigh. ) Well, I did spend a whole season following you around, did I not?

with you by my side, it’s all worth it. ( softening under the man’s touch, leaning into it slightly with a small hum. ) that’s like you saying you’ll follow me everywhere.



I worry the press and the public might be awful. And I worry … ( — that he isn’t worth the hell the press and public might put Ted through. He won’t say it. Instead he just tucks that bit of floppy fringe back from Ted’s face. ) The writer follows where his subject leads!

and? people not liking me isn’t the problem. i want to be with you, open and all. ( he just wants to be with him. should that be so much? ) d’awwwww, i see what you did there!



Maybe it has, maybe it hasn’t. But there’s places, Ted. They won’t be kind to you. ( he doesn’t want that for Ted, damnit. ) Thus, you shouldn’t be surprised I was there!

we’ll do it together, and if i would regret it, i wouldn’t have gotten with you in the first place. the world is kinder than it once was. ( cue the happy smile. ) exactly!



It’s … it’s still too soon. I don’t want you to regret this when it becomes a shitshow. ( he’s proud of him! ) Kinda have to follow my subject around don’t I?

i’m ready when you are. ( of course he got the small hint. ) writing more books or articles?



Not … not yet. ( listen he wants Ted to be sure of this before they go public. ) Where else would I be?

you’re always welcome to join me up there 🫶🏻 i’m glad you were there, it means a lot that you were watching.



Well … I don’t know? I don’t want to assume … things. Ted, darling, you deserve the spotlight when you do those charity things. I love watching you shine.

who else would it be directed at?? i’m okay sharing my moments with you.



I didn’t think that was directed at me! Well … I wanted you to have your moment.

of course i did! you should’ve came and said hello.



I hung back a bit so I wouldn’t distract you. I knew you had enough on your mind. …you… you did???

i could feel the warmth of your smile, but i couldn’t see you. i tried looking for you though!! did you hear me talking about you??



You couldn’t see me grinning at you like the ( lovesick ) dork I am?

you came!! i couldn’t see you ‘cause of the lights. :(



Have to admit, Ted is a great emcee for these charity functions. ( no he was not distracted by those arms, why would you think that? )

( he’s in a bit of a mood, curled up with tea and a book — watching the rain )
