Fic: The Soccer AU Part 1/?

I can’t find it in myself to write canon Eagle of the Ninth either for the book OR the movie (I haven’t seen it yet but I’m sure my writing will be influenced somewhat by the little pieces I have seen) and I have thus far, failed to write anything worthy of posting (four attempts), so I decided to trot over to the h/c bingo board, steal their list of prompts and write as many of them as I can before my enthusiasm for this fandom runs out. I was hoping to start with something more fluffy, but random chance brought this one up first and they are hurt/comfort prompts so I can't really complain too much.

I apologise if it's awful, first fic in quite a while and I'm not in contact with any of my betas anymore, so feel free to tell me if you find anything particularly awful. Second chapter will be up in a couple of days.
