THEY REALLY ARE. Of course the obliviousness is a liiiittle over the top because it's essentially humor fic, but... boys, indeed. As far as the Barca players go, I had a surprisingly enjoyable time writing Victor, and an unsurprisingly enjoyable time writing Xavi (and Andres), as usual. :D Thank you so much for the nice comment, I'm v. happy you enjoyed the story!
