Fics like Wishful Thinking

There was too much to say, and no right way to say it. “I got a girl pregnant” is too stiff, but “I’m desperately in love with Sofia but we’re seventeen years old and she has university and I have football and I’m afraid I could never be a good father” is far too intimate. So he keeps quiet, and rubs Sofia’s back as she cries, and listens impassively as she plans and plans and plans a life which is on track, a life never diverted by a tiny, precious pile of blankets which he will only get to hold once. (In which Leo had a child, and now that child is a footballer)
