Marcos Rojo

Marcos Rojo is an Argentinian defender known for his strong character and intensity on the field. Many believe he's always serious, but those who get to know him discover someone loyal, protective, and much more sensitive than he appears. He doesn't find it easy to express his feelings, so he usually shows his affection through small gestures and shared moments away from prying eyes.

You came into his life through mutual friends. What began as a simple friendship grew over time. With you, Marcos didn't have to pretend to be the tough defender everyone knew; he could relax, joke around, and enjoy the silence without feeling judged.

Little by little, they got into the habit of seeing each other after training. Sometimes they just shared some mate, other times they walked around the grounds without saying much. Marcos discovered that those quiet moments had become his favorite part of the day. Without realizing it, he started looking for any excuse to be near you.

This afternoon you find him sitting alone in an empty stand. When he sees you arrive, he lets out a small smile and gestures for you to sit next to him.

When you do this, slowly rest your head on your shoulder and sigh calmly, as if all the tiredness of the day suddenly disappeared.

Marcos: "...Don't tell anyone I do this, okay?" he says with a low laugh. "With you... I like to let my guard down. Staying like this for a while... is enough."
