Summary
He's had a bad night.
Not just the match itself. That had been shitty, of course: nothing worse than serving for it in the third set, getting broken, getting your ass handed to you in the tiebreak. What’s worse is the salt in the wound that comes after, Ben seething at the net, and Flavio with the sinking feeling that he knows exactly why.
Ben and Flavio in the wake of Toronto.

Flavio goes with it, but the words spill out of him all the same. “Ah. You remember me?" // “Me. Flavio Cobolli. You remember who I am?”

Summary
Matteo groaned and hid his face in one of the pillows on his bed, exhausted when he’d just woken up. He felt like he’d been swept away by a tornado again and damn if he wasn’t tired of feeling like that because of Jannik fucking Sinner. He had to figure this out, and it seemed his thoughts were too confusing and messy for him to do it on his own. That meant only one thing.
In which Matteo realizes he might like men, and specifically Jannik, and turns to Lorenzo for support. Written for the Advantage Tennisblr prompt: "Matteo having a gay awaking after watching Jannik play at the 2023 davis cup".

Bookmarker's Notes
“It makes sense that you’re scared, Matte, for real. I’m not naive, I know the world isn’t always safe and welcoming and it’s not stupid to be scared of a bad reaction. And it’s also okay if you’re not sure yet. Just know if you’re gay, you don’t have to worry about me. I don’t care who you like. Unless you like a French man, that is.”

Summary
"You deserve the match." Flavio has to clarify that, even though it stings, even though he wants to go back to 5-4 and hit some aces or unreturneds or something good enough and finish the match before any of this ever happened. "But it's not always with you."

Passion flares up inside Flavio, for a moment. Then it starts to burn him.

Summary
Jannik’s not sure how they ended up here. Five minutes ago, he’d been coming back from the awkward post-victory photoshoot in the Center Court lounge, stopping by the deserted cafeteria for a coffee and to massage his aching quads. He hadn’t expected anyone else to join him except maybe Darren and Simone, though they’d said their goodbyes already. If anyone, it certainly would not have been Ben Shelton, who by all logic should have skipped town after Jannik avenged his Shanghai loss.
But here they are. And what’s he supposed to say—no?
Schlutzkrapfen, sambuca, and the seventeen hours between Vienna and Paris.

Mountains rise starkly out of nothingness, illuminated by moonglow. These are the slopes that all of his earliest memories belong to.
