CHAPTER ONE

"Girlish eyes of a girlish man." thought Iker Casillas, looking at his precious lover, asleep close to him. "Soft skin like a baby." whispered, touching tentatively his shoulders. "Pink and delicate lips to be kissed forever." said, almost enchanted by that sight. "He's decidedly a gift of God..."

The boy moaned and turned to face Iker, drowsy smiling. "Good morning..."

"Good morning, Fernando. I was looking at you. You're so adorable when you sleep." smiled in return Iker.

"You couldn't. You know I have a terrible face when I'm asleep..."

"It's not true, my little one."

"Oh, Iker. Stop having fun of me! You're so mischievous sometimes."

"You shouldn't be ashamed when I tell you you're beautiful. I'm not telling lies, you know." Iker started kissing the throat of his young lover. "You know, don't you?" He continued tracing a wet path on Fernando's bare chest, moving on top of him to better contact the sweet-smelling skin he loved.

"Oh, you're so terrible. You enjoy driving me mad, don't you?"

"Yes. Really. 'Cause I'm completely crazy about you."

The sun began to rise in the warm June sky in Madrid. But both of them weren't going to get up. Night hadn't completely gone away.

"I wonder where is Fernando." said Raul a bit worried and a bit annoyed. "He's never late."

"Don't worry, he'll be here in a few minute." Luis Figo tried to reassure him.

"Better if he'll be here in a few second. Our ferry is going to sail, he'll miss it."

"Be quiet, boy. I hate you when we have to leave, you're always so nervous. Actually the ferry is sailing at 6.40 pm and it's only 6.25 pm."

"I know, I know...oh, that's Fernando's car, isn't it? Well, he's arrived."

"Yes, but...was he going to come with someone?" asked Luis.

"Not at all."

"Well, he's not alone. There's someone with him, can you see who is?"

"No, but it's not a problem. You know, he should have come with Sousa Deco, but you know, they broke off their engagement." explained Raul.

"Actually I don't know."

"Fernando didn't explain all to me, I suspect something like...betrayal, but I'm not sure."

"Hola, guys!" Fernando had arrived and with him there was a young boy, whom Raul recognised as Vicente, the midfielder of Valencia. "Luis, this is Vicente. He comes with us."

"Nice to meet you." said Vicente.

"My pleasure." answered Luis.

"Raul, you already know Vicente, don't you?"

"Yes, we met for some matches."

"Well, let's go to our rooms. Better relax. We'll meet at the restaurant at...9 pm, ok?"

"Wow, that grilled meat was wonderful! I ate it twice."

"Yeah, really tasty! Ehm...Raul?"

"Yes, Fernando?"

"We have to talk. Let's go on deck."

The sky was full of stars. The ferry was sailing in front of the French coast, it would have gone to Palermo and there they would have brought another ferry to Athens.

"Raul...you're my best friend. I have something to tell you."

"It's about Vicente? Are you two engaged?"

"Well, actually no. I love him, and he loves me. We met last January, when I was still engaged with Deco."

"So you left him because you fell in love with your little Vicente."

"Yes and no. Things between us didn't work. He frequented other people, he was often on his own, he didn't even tell me when he was late, when he remained out the night. So we decided it was better not to live together anymore. Then I began to date with Vicente, at first just as a friend, then I became fond of him, we decided to share a house, a bed, then our holidays. So he's here."

"So you actually are engaged." declared Raul.

"No, we aren't."

"Well, you share a house, a bed, your spare time, and you aren't...oh my God!, Fernando, what the hell is the ring on your finger?!?"

"This is what I wanted to tell you. Vicente and I got married last week. I'm sorry I haven't told it to you before but we've done all secretly."

"So...*you* are married...I can't believe this...I just can't..."

"Well, I can get married...I'm not such an horrible person."

"Oh, stupid. I didn't mean it, it's that is weird to think of you married with Vicente. Are you sure it'll be ok? Haven't you been too hurried?"

"Maybe you're the one too hesitant. Luis and you, it's four years you two are engaged. You went through thick and thin together, but you just can't do the most important step. We all- Iker, Fernando, David, Zizou, Roberto, also Vicente- we all want you to get married..."

"-I know, but it's not so easy..."whispered Raul.

"...and you too want Luis to be your husband."
