[Football] The Whole Locker Room Knows I'm Dating Someone

The main story is complete!

My next book will be "[F1 Racing] The Champion's Name," about the things that happen between a team principal and their number-one driver. Please add it to your collection!

Just how far is it from being the scourge of the youth team who never passes the ball to becoming the heart of the first team?

Tino, a Dortmund transplant just trying to make a living far from home, unexpectedly discovers that his neighbor is Melville, a star player on the first team. The top players have three things going for them: they're handsome, they're fit, and they're good at football. And Melville is also a master chef.

The German gentleman he'd been promised suddenly loses control one day and accuses Tino of being heartless. Tino is baffled. Aren't we good friends, good neighbors, and good teammates?

"If football and I fell into the water at the same time, who would you save first?"

"Football, of course. You can swim."

"But the ball would float, too!"

Everyone in the locker room saw the ring Tino put on before the match, but no one knew that the other person with the same ring was also in their locker room. Then one day, Phil walked into the medical room and saw Melville holding Tino close with one arm. He might have stumbled onto something huge!

A calm, quick-witted attacking free role as the receiver (Tino) X a versatile center forward who's aloof to the world but gentle with those close to him as the pursuer (Melville)

P.S. The pursuer's feelings are obvious as can be, while the receiver is pretty oblivious early on and doesn't notice a thing. The story is set in Dortmund, beginning with the 2021/22 season, and follows the team from its lowest point to the top of the world. There will be both the Bundesliga and the Champions League! This story is entirely fictional, and the main characters aren't based on real people! You can think of it as taking place in a parallel universe.

Theme: Growth is never smooth sailing, and teammates must learn to trust one another.
