Work Text:
Being married to the one considered the best football player in the world had a lot of perks. Lavish trips around the world, luxury hotels, private jets, million dollar houses and all the diamonds and fancy jewelry you can dream of. Of course both you and your husband don’t really like to spend that much money on materialistic things. You know you had an extremely privileged life for marrying Noa but it hasn't been all roses. His cold exterior to the world and his friends comes home with him to your marriage. It was extremely hard at first to get to know him but eventually you came to know he’s an incredibly sweet and thoughtful man who tries his best to make you happy, even if he doesn't express himself too much.
“My love!” You coo to him when he returns home from his morning practice, even if it’s Valentine’s day he still goes to work his muscles and team. Leaving your bed too empty in the morning.
“I’m home” He gives you a small smile as he lets you bury yourself in his arms. He then proceeds to pick you up as you yelp.
“Noa, put me down” you giggle as he starts to walk back to the door he came from.
“We are going for a walk” he closes the door of your apartment in Germany’s Munich, not forgetting to grab a jacket for you. You guess he will take you to The Hofgarten garden, you know that place all too well. When Noel enters the elevator he puts you down and hands you the puffy packet for you to dress.
Like you guessed he takes you to the garden and you walk along the large garden, you see the temple and tug him by the arm to appreciate it even more. You actually met him in this exact garden when you two were in highschool. He was in a tournament and came all the way from France and you were on a field trip. You still remember that day so clearly, the flowers in bloom and the fountain’s water sparkling, the aroma of summer all around you.
Later on the day you all exchanged contacts and Noel actually kept in contact with you. When he started to get contracts in pro-leagues he came to visit you from time to time until a few years ago he moved in with you. Not even a year after moving together he actually proposed to you in the temple of the middle of the garden.
“Who are you talking to?” You ask when you notice Noel is not listening to you and texting.
“Mhm? No one, you were saying?” He puts his phone away and now gives you his full attention. Even if it is February and most people are tucked away in their houses there are still a few couples in the streets, with a lot of them recognizing Noa, but he doesn't spare them a glance.
“It’s a special day, I’m here to spend time with my spouse and you should do the same” he keeps it short and dismisses anyone who might want an interview or photo. You let your face fall on his shoulder as you become completely smitten with your husband yet again. You spend around an hour just walking slowly hand in hand, remembering all of the countless times spent together in this park.
“Okay, thanks” Noa receives a call and squeezes your hand to get your attention “let's head back.”
“Alright, where do you want to have dinner?” You ask him, curious if he will take you on a romantic dinner date in a fancy restaurant.
“We can order” he says with such a serious face you just have to laugh.
“Noel Noa, the world’s number one player offers his spouse takeout on valentine’s day” you laugh teasing him, even if you don’t care too much about what he gets you, you still like to tease him and get a good laugh. Noa has learned himself that it’s better to ignore you when you only want to get a laugh out of him. Noa actually seems eager to get back as he is constantly rushing you or widening his steps, you obliged and before you know it his keys are on the lock of the house.
He turns the key and lets you walk in first, you open the door and see rose petals spread from the doorway to the bedroom on the wooden floor. You raise your eyebrow to Noa to question him but he only gestures for you to continue walking. You grab his hand giving it a squeeze and he follows quietly after you. You arrive at your shared bedroom with the petals now culminating on top of the bed, with a champagne bottle on the side of the bed with two glasses and a few chocolates and strawberries.
“Thank you” you turn to face Noa as you let the back of your legs hit the edge of the bed.
“Only the best for you” he smiles gently at you and wraps his arms around your waist. You entangle your arms around his neck and pull him down for a sweet kiss. Noa wastes no time as he continues pushing you down to the bed and you happily oblige.
“So, what do you want further?” Noa asks as he pours the champagne into the glasses and gives you one as he drinks from the other glass.
“I’m perfectly content already” you stand straighter in bed as you start drinking the frizzly substance.
“It’s fine to spoil you from time to time” Noa wraps his arm over your shoulder and pulls you close to him.
“You already spoil me so much” you kiss his cheek. It is true, he buys you anything you might like, when he has games he takes you with him so you can spend more time together and you can sightsee different parts of the world. Whenever he has time he always takes you on dinner dates. Noa hums in agreement but still pulls himself off of the bed and you bite your lip when you see his naked and scratched back, all it’s muscles work and shift. He returns shortly after, quickly snuggling in bed again before giving you a small velvet box. You look at him sideways before opening it. You see a silver medallion with the word ‘Roxanne’ and you frown wondering if Noa has made a mistake. You turn to look at him but his smile only grows.
Noa looks to the door when someone knocks, you pull the sheets to cover your chest but your husband only keeps smiling as the valet opens the door and you widen your eyes as you see what he brings in his arms. Noa asks the man to bring it to his arms as the man quickly leaves again.
“Hi” you coo “I think this belongs to you” you grab the medallion that is actually a collar and put it around what you assume is your gift, a german shepherd puppy, that is still so small and fluffy. Seeing your extremely buff, shirtless husband hugging a puppy is the perfect image and you just have to take a quick photo to welcome the new resident.
“My love” you kiss Noa before taking the puppy, Roxane, in your hands and petting it as it starts licking you back on your face and you nearly die from cuteness “thank you so much" marriage with Noa might be slightly hard, but there's no doubt he does try to provide you with only the best.
