Author's Notes: ooookay, totally ripped off the community title of stevieandxabi. I'm sorry, pendules. D: (and wtf, the title. :\)


Xabi likes to think of the whole first team as one big, functioning body. Carra would be the blood, constantly pulsating and pumping and turning your cheeks pink. Daniel would be the feet, constantly moving, jittering. Fernando would be the lips, giving off easy smiles and drawn into a straight line during a game. Alvaro would be the eyes, bright and clear and surveying the field. Finns would be the legs, muscled and powerful and constant. Pepe would be the hands, for obvious reasons, and for holding you up when you'd had too much to drink. Martin would be the lungs, steady breathing even when everything seemed to be falling apart. Steven was of course the heart, contracting with pain and bursting with pride and just there, keeping you running and breathing (while the brain kept everything functioning), and Xabi, he liked to think of himself as the brain; calculating and precise (to a fault?), and completely useless without the heart.
