Big Ol' Emotional Speeches by sweetlittlepeapod for elder_flower
Fandoms: Ted Lasso (TV)

Summary
Ted's eyes are closed. He's not asleep, neither is he entirely awake. Instead, he's simply drifting in that blissful moment where everything is quiet, peaceful in that way you only experience when your mind isn't fully tuned into the waking world just yet. A time where all that can be heard is the morning songs of birds by the window, the faint murmurs of life on the street outside and no more quiet snores that lulled Ted to sleep the night before- now there's a thought that begins to set off those early morning alarm bells.

Summary
“D’ya hear that?” Ted’s moustache twitches as he fights a teasing- and rather tired- grin. He waits for Trent’s eyes to fall on him, an already fondly exasperated look on the ex-journalist's face. “It’s oh so quiet.” He sings with a smile, swaying his hips in a way that's more conductive of a 'dad dance' than it is alluring, although it certainly has the desired effect on his partner all the same.
“You best not go falling in love then, Coach Lasso.” Trent replies. There's a playful glint in his eyes and a faint blush painting his cheeks as he watches Ted sashay his way towards him.
“Ah heck, it’s a little too late for that now ain’t it, Trent Crimm, not so independent?” He chuckles quietly at his own joke, letting the invisible string between them pull him closer to the ex-journalist.

Summary
There's a quiet niggling itching away in Trent's mind. An inner-voice telling him that he's forgotten something important. It takes him an embarrassingly long time to remember what it is and it’s only as he's stepping out of the shower that the memory comes to him.
As his barefoot touches the cold tile of the bathroom floor it all comes flooding back. The last thing he had been doing with his laptop yesterday, just before Ted had turned up for an impromptu date night.
Oh god.

In which Ted finds something very interesting on Trent's laptop & Trent has a mini crisis in the bathroom.

A Little Something To Smooth The Rough Edges by sweetlittlepeapod
Fandoms: Ted Lasso (TV)

Summary
“Do my eyes deceive me or is that one Mr Trent Crimm I see?”
The Kansan twang cut through the generic beat of chart-toppers in a way that had Trent almost dropping his shopping basket. He’d know that voice anywhere, but at Tesco, in the middle of the night on a Wednesday was the last place he’d expected to hear it. For a second he didn’t move, frozen to the spot as he attempted to restart his brain that had been running on autopilot ever since he’d left the house.
------------------------------
A late night trip to Tesco yields some interesting results.

Summary
[ HIATUS - not abandoned 15/03/25 ]
For a man who lives his life through eloquent words, weaved together to put forth a carefully crafted persona; it is perhaps ironic that every time he opens his mouth in front of the disarmingly kind American, he chokes on said words.
----------------------
The Crimms hadn't experienced a case of hanahaki in generations, that is until Ted Lasso came along & made his home within Trent's aching heart.

Summary
This is not some weird booty call, I swear. The bath at my airbnb is flooding and I have absolutely no clue how to fix it. The app says you're nearby. Is this something within your skillset? And if so, would you be willing to help a desperate man in need?
Well howdy there, Trent. Which apartment building are ya in? Me and my tools will be right there 😉
Christ, actual tools yes? I'm very aware of how my last message sounded but the bathroom is about to look like that scene from The Shape Of Water!----------------
When Trent finds himself in need of a handyman while he's an ocean away from home, well what's a man to do?

Summary
"I'm sorry, Ted. Truly." He makes an aborted motion, taking a half step towards Ted before thinking better of it and remaining where he is on the other side of the room.
"S'fine." The resignation and slight slur in Ted’s voice has Trent flinching subtly, anxious that he’s truly ruined the slow building friendship that was growing between them. Because of course, the first man to fully capture his attention since his divorce would be one that he would hurt in such a personal and irreparable way.
------------
After The Article™️, Trent can't bare the thought of Ted dealing with it by himself. So he pays the man an ill-advised visit.

Summary
"Ted?”
Trent called from the entryway, his voice laced with trepidation. A knot grew in his stomach, tightened with uncertainty and unease.
From the kitchen came the gentle sounds of running water from the tap, intermingled with the telltale sounds of someone shuffling around the island. Trent could easily picture Ted, his sleeves rolled up past his elbows, flour dusting his face, wrestling with an unyielding dough that he heard hitting the work surface.
"Yeah?” Came Ted’s warm, Kansan twang.
"Did you actually read that form Henry had us sign?” Trent questioned, hesitant to voice his growing suspicion.
