oh dear, I doubt this is what you wanted :P but! mardia and I have this shared headcanon about Xavi and Iker having a vaguely dom/sub relationship (though we disagree about how much sex they're having, haha) where neither of them knows what they're doing and they sort of fumbled their way to figuring out what they want. (Iker likes Xavi to tell him what to do. Xavi likes Iker to do what he tells him. handy how that works out!) I would guess that getting drunk might have had something to do with Iker owning up to the fact that he likes it when Xavi bosses him around. yes. yes I like this. presumably at the 1999 U-20 World Cup. oh my lord I just looked up the squad from that tournament and Iker was 17, now I feel like a pervert. =/

BUT MY POINT STILL STANDS.
