Number 30 ~ Pablo Gavi

number 30 ~ pablo gavi

pt. 2

summary: love at first sight.

“y/n, ¡rápido! ya casi están aquí.” (quick! they’re nearly here) y/n’s little sister calls out to her from across their living room. today was the champions parade, celebratory for barcelonas 27th title, and y/n along with her sister could not be any more excited.

luckily for them, they didn’t have to stand on the streets, being pushed around by several impatient yet extremely happy fans, having teenagers screaming in their ear every second. they were able to watch it from the safety of their balcony, overlooking the whole street and getting the best view of all the players on the bus.

as y/n neared the balcony, she could already hear the loud screams and cheers of the many other fans. she walked out to see her sister waving the flag around with a gigantic smile on her face. she was dressed in the blaugrana jersey, her hair clipped up to reveal her favourite player’s number at the back.

y/n chuckled at her screams, undoubtedly being heard at the end of the street as she held her phone in her other hand, ready to film the whole experience.

as the bus came into view, y/n’s eyes widened. she heard the screams of the people below her get louder the more the bus came into the street. she could clearly see all the players, each and every one with a smile on their face and their arms in the air as they happily celebrated their win with the rest of the city.

gavi had just finished taking a picture on a fans phone, that was thrown up to him, when he looked up to fix the scarf around his head. his eyes landed on two girls on a balcony not so far from them, one of them screaming her head off as she waved a flag around as the other calmy stood with a grin on her face and her hands clapping in the air.

gavi felt the breath almost knock out of his lungs, and not from the fact that ansu had just accidentally bumped into him. she was so beautiful. so breathtaking. his eyes landed on the blaugrana jersey adorning her body and he immediately wondered which number displayed at the back of it. was it his number? was he her favourite player?

his dancing arms slowly made a stop and his eyes did not leave her. he felt as though he physically could not look away. her hair looked so soft, her smile so contagious he felt himself smiling just at the sight of her.

y/n was watching as ansu and pedri danced with eachother when she felt her sister shaking her arm.

“¿qué?” (what?)

“¡gavi está mirando hacia aquí!” (gavi is looking over here!)

immediately her eyes went to the player she noticed first. he was still in the same place he stood jumping moments before, only now he stood still as his eyes focused on hers.

she could feel her heart thumping against her chest, the realisation kicking in that the pablo gavi was staring right at her right now. she waved at him with a shy smile on her face, watching as he mirrored her action and expression before pointing to his back.

“¿qué número?” (what number?) he mouthed to her.

with her heart beating in her ears, she turned around, moving her hair to the side, allowing him to see the big number 30 plastered on her back.

as she turned around, she saw him give her a thumbs up, cheering at the fact that it was his number on her back.

she could feel the heat flooding her cheeks. her eyes followed the bus as it moved further down the street, the butterflies in her stomach slowly starting to dissipate as her eyes held the gaze of pablo gavi for a few more seconds before she couldn’t see him anymore.

gavi could feel his own heartbeat in his ears, banging against his ear drums along with the loud cheers of the fans and the slight sway as the bus moved down the street. he couldn’t deny the blush that came onto his cheeks when he saw the number 30 on her back. he was her favourite player.

his mind ran back to her smile. how proud and excited she looked. how content she looked as she gazed at the flags being waved down below before looking up at the bus.

he looked back, trying to catch another glimpse of her but to no avail. the bus had already moved further down the road and he could no longer see her balcony.

he tried blinking away the intruding thoughts of the girl, shaking his head as he tried to focus back on the celebration at hand.

one thing never left his mind though. her name.

her name plastered just above his number, in the usual bright yellow font.

he didn’t know who she was but atleast he knew her name. y/n. such a beautiful name for such a beautiful girl.

physical touch ~ pablo gavi

summary: a few moments where gavi has shown his love through physical touch.

pablo wasn’t much of a talker; that was known to anyone who was close to him. his love language was quite clearly physical touch. this was something y/n adored about him - he liked showing his love and emotions through his physical behaviour, instead of verbally speaking them.

she felt herself falling for him more and more everyday, each and every time he would show his immense affection towards her. they were both so young, still teenagers, their emotions and attraction towards each other were heightened - yet that wasn’t something they both took advantage of.

they loved each other with maturity and passion and dedication.

•••

“¿qué te parece el vestido nuevo que me he comprado?” (what do you think of this new dress i bought?) y/n asked, holding up her new, white sundress to her body whilst looking towards her boyfriend. pablo sat comfortably on her bed, fully dressed and on his phone as he patiently waited for her to get ready.

he looked up when he heard her question and she swore she vividly saw large hearts form around his eyes. a small blush made its way onto her face as he examined the dress with a shy smile on his face.

“es muy bonito.” (its very pretty) he replied, eyes locked on hers as he imagined her wearing it.

she tilted her head, “pablo, se que es bonito pero ¿te gusta?” (i know it’s pretty but do you like it?)

“sí, es muy bonito. me gusta el color.” (yeah, it’s very nice, i like the colour) pablo replied with sending her a convincing smile as he looked back down to his phone. y/n lowly sighed to herself, walking into the bathroom to put it on and fix her hair.

a few moments later, she walked back out signalling to her boyfriend that she was ready. pablo looked back up and he immediately felt his heart start to pound in his chest. she looked breath-taking, and he was right, that colour was pretty.

the white cotton material fit her like a glove, flowing to her thighs beautifully and matching her skin tone perfectly. he stood up as she walked into her closet to get her sandals. he could barely take his eyes off her as he pocketed his phone, followed her down the stairs, said a short goodbye to her parents and followed her out to her car.

he opened the drivers door for her and walked to the passengers side. as soon as he got in, his whole body turned towards her. his hand went to her waist as he tugged her towards him in a kiss. it was short and caught her by surprise as she pulled away for a second to look at him.

her brows were furrowed in confusion but they soon relaxed when she saw the love and adoration swimming in his large, brown eyes. she leaned back in and planted her lips against his soft ones, hand cupping his cheek to keep him in place.

pablo didn’t speak much for the rest of the ride, only making small conversation and giggling at something here and there. y/n didn’t mind his lack of words, she felt his love through the hand he kept intertwined with hers.

•••

the day was in the early evening when pablo walked into y/ns apartment with his key. his lips were pulled into a small pout, his brows huddled in frustration and a slight tiredness clung to his freshly-showered body.

it’d been a tough training session back from the previous season. pablo could physically feel his muscles begging for some rest as he waddled his way through her small apartment, loving the familiar smell of her perfume all over the place.

her bedroom door was open and when she looked up from her book to see him stood there, she slightly jumped.

“pablo! ¡dios mío, no te oí entrar!” (my god, i didn’t even hear you come in!) she laughed to herself in relief whilst he dropped his bag on the floor. she noticed the solemn look on his face and her brows furrowed.

“¿estás bien?” (are you okay?) she asked but didn’t receive any sort of answer. instead, pablo shut the bedroom door and walked up to her, his hands coming up to caress her sides as he lay himself on top of her. his whole body swallowed hers up, face resting carefully against her chest.

y/n was a bit taken back by his action, but nonetheless marked her place in her book and put it aside. she knew he seemed tired so she didn’t question him any further. her fingers made their way into his hair, nails gently scratching against his scalp just as he liked.

his grip tightened around her and he was fast asleep in no time, the warmth of her body blanketing around him and her tender perfume lulling him to sleep.

•••

y/n walked down with aurora and pablos parents, with an excited smile on her face. barcelona had just won la liga and she couldnt be anymore happier for her boyfriend - he’d worked really hard and deserved this and many, many more.

aurora was telling her about the small surprise party she had planned for pablo for when he comes home, to which she was nodding along to, when her eyes landed on her campeón.

pablo saw his family walking over and couldn’t control the giddy smile that took over his features, especially when his brown eyes landed on his girlfriend. she was always there to support him, looking amazing as always in his jersey - his biggest, most beautiful supporter.

he slightly ran over to them and instantly tackled y/n in a big hug. she slightly swayed at the sudden contact but soon wrapped her arms around his shoulders with a soft laugh.

his parents chuckled at their youngest’s eager behaviour and aurora couldn’t help but take a few pictures of younger couple.

y/ns grip loosened when she realised he hadn’t even looked at his family yet. her hands went to his biceps with a chuckle. “pablo.” she murmured into his shoulder. he didn’t let go, but only tightened his grip around her waist.

“pablo, ¡primero abraza a tu familia por lo menos!” (first hug your family at least!) she exclaimed, earning some laughs from his family. she slightly tugged him away from him and watched with bright, cheery eyes as he hugged his parents, his sister, kissed their cheeks and blushed at their little proud and teasing comments about him.

as soon as he took some pictures with them all, he immediately latched back onto his girlfriend. he held her hand, asked aurora to take some photos of them with the cup, with his parents, with pedri who requested a photo with his two friends - mostly of just them two, pictures he wanted to cherish and be able to look back at one day.

his hand laced with hers once again and he didn’t let go until it was time to leave.

•••

a soft chuckle left y/ns lips as she felt pablo connect his lips with hers once more. he couldn’t help it, loving the feeling of her pretty lips against his own, smiling at him, kissing him, saying his name.

she pulled back for air and pablo took the opportunity to eagerly look her over, as if he hadn’t done so a million times before. his eyes tentatively scanned her whole face, every little detail that he adored from the length of her eyelashes to the tiny freckle on her chin.

he started pressing kisses to her cheeks. his hands tightened around her sides, legs tangling with hers as the movie in the background continued playing. pablos lips went from her left cheek, to her nose, forehead, eyelids, eyebrows, other cheek, jawline and back to her lips.

she sighed against him for the tenth time that evening, hands relaxing against his arms as he encased her with his endless love and presented it to her with his tender kisses.

Hello

…^^ being Gavi’s first gf :)

BEING GAVI'S FIRST GIRLFRIEND WOULD INCLUDE

At the beginning of your relationship, there was no sign that you would have any kind of romantic relationship

Your relationship was friendly at first

You met during the summer break, during which you both changed schools

You were assigned to the same class, and the class group formed during your vacation made you catch each other's eye and quickly moved to private messages

You didn't even realize when you moved on to daily messaging each other and meeting up often

You spent the rest of the vacation together, meeting up in your free time

Sometimes you also came to Pablo's training sessions, as much as your daily schedule allowed

When you started going to school, Pablo would always sit on the bench with you, or sit in front of you, so that he could always turn to you if he needed to

Of course, he would walk you home after school!!! Even if it wasn't on his way.

I think Pablo's love language is sharing, also he will share his lunch with you

BUT I'M TOO DREAMY ABOUT HIGHSCHOOL!PABLO, LET'S GET TO THE SPECIFICS

So, I think Pablo with his first love would be so awkward

On the one hand, he would want to tell you about it, but he was afraid you would reject him

Besides, he didn't know what was going on. So far, no girl had ever had the same feelings as you, and that scared him a bit.

I also think he was afraid that wanting to be with you might upset his football career

When he finally asked you out, you didn't know it was a date

He took you to the movies after he had googled a thousand times where to take a girl on a first date

You realized Pablo might be about something more when he clumsily wrapped his arm around your shoulder during the screening, making you furrow your brow with confusion

Of course you liked Pablo. You liked his charming behavior and the attention he gave you, but you could never admit it

However, you decided not to ask him anything, you just continued watching the movie together

When your non-date was over, he escorted you to your house

And only there did he gather the courage to tell you how much he liked you

He asked if he could kiss you

And all you could do was just nod your head, unsure if you could respond with your words

You would probably be his first kiss!!!

After that day, you met more formally. On a day-to-day basis, nothing changed, except that while walking and returning to school, you held hands and shared shy kisses now and then

I think Pablo would have been very affectionate with his girlfriend. His way of showing love was touching, so be ready that when you were somewhere together, he would hug you from behind and kiss your forehead.

Pablo would compliment you a lot. He would tell you how smart you are and how much he adores your character

He could talk about it for hours and his eyes would always sparkle when he said it.

If there was an argument between the two of you, Pablo would always apologize first, unable to bear that some silly thing could make your relationship deteriorate

Pablo would just be a charming guy who wanted to explore every aspect of love with you

mini champion ~ pedri

summary: pedri and y/n attend santiago’s first match.

here’s more of santiago and pedri, since you all seemed to really love the last one ;))

“¿recuerdas cómo practicamos?” (remember how we practiced?) santiago nods his head in return to pedris statement as he takes a deep breath. pedris hands rub themselves gently up and down santiago’s arms, comforting yet motivating him.

“que no cunda el pánico, santi. tu hermana y yo estamos ahí sentados. ¡te estaremos apoyando!” (do not panic, santi. your sister and i are sat right there. we will be supporting you! )

that put a little smile on santiago’s face. he threw a look in his sisters direction to see her wave at him with a big, encouraging smile coating her lips. the boy gave her a wave back.

he turned to pedri, “gracias pedri.” (thank you pedri)

“buena suerte, hermanito.” (good luck, little brother)

today was santiago’s first actual match with his football club. they were going up against the other training club in real madrid and santiago couldn’t be any more nervous. it was like a mini el clásico for the youngsters in the training clubs.

santiago could not stop talking about it all week, ever since he found out about it. whenever pedri came over, santiago insisted that they play some football, get him ready for his mini match, something he was really excited yet nervous for.

of course pedri agreed, wanting his little brother to be the best he could be. he mostly just let santi take the upper hand, and pedri helped him where he thought he may need it.

this upcoming match meant a lot to santi so it automatically meant a lot to y/n and pedri too. everyday they reminded him that they would both be there, sat in the first row especially for him.

pedri and y/n were santiagos biggest supporters and one look at the two in the crowd was all the motivation that the little boy needed to be able to walk out onto the pitch with his team.

soon the match had started and cheers of friends and family erupted within the pitch. it was a quick and easy start as all the players were so energetic in the first fifteen minutes. they were all kids with so much potential, but santiago stuck out the most to pedri and y/n.

the young couple kept their eyes on him. he was playing so well. his pace was perfect as well as his passing and communication with his teammates. all the little tips and tricks pedri told him whilst playing in their backyard had now been visualised through his performance.

it was just over fifteen minutes when majority of the crowd erupted with cheers and claps at the opening goal for barcelona. y/n and pedri both stood up from their seats, loud cheers leaving their smiling lips as they saw santiago hug his teammates with the biggest smile on his face.

he turned to y/n and pedri, blowing them each a kiss and waving at them. y/n felt her eyes start to water with the amount of happiness engulfing her right now. she couldn’t feel anymore joy and pride as she watched her little brother laugh and high-five his friends at the incredible goal he just scored.

he was in his element. if he was happy, giddy and cheerful, then so was she. pedri turned to his girlfriend, his lips pulled into a beaming grin, to talk about santiago’s goal when he saw her wiping the corners of her eyes.

“¿lagrimas de felicidad?” (happy tears?) pedri teasingly asked, nudging his shoulder with hers. y/n chuckled and nodded her head, taking a deep breath.

“cariño, no llores. santi es un gran jugador, es muy joven pero llegará muy lejos en el futuro.” (oh, darling. don’t cry. santi is a great player, he is very young but he will go many places in the future!) he wrapped an arm around her shoulder.

“lo sé, pero me alegro mucho por él.” (i know but i’m just so happy for him) y/n replied. pedri grabbed her hand and intertwined his cool fingers with her warm ones. he brought her hand up to his lips and pressed a soft kiss to her knuckles whilst staring into her tear-stained eyes.

“yo también.” (me too)

her eyes were locked onto his and perhaps it was the overload of different emotions that made her speak up. “gracias por entrar en su vida, pedro. le has ayudado mucho.” (thank you for coming into his life, pedro. you helped him a lot)

“no,” pedri shook his head in objection. he had a playful smile on his lips. “lo tuvo todo el tiempo, y/n. no he cambiado nada.” (he had it in him all along, y/n. i didn’t change anything)

“sí. estoy orgulloso de el.” (yeah. i’m proud of him) y/n stated, letting out a breath of relief. pedri nodded his head, mumbling a small agreement, and they both turned back to the pitch.

soon, the match had ended and barcelona had won. santiago had scored two goals and assisted with one and the sparkling beam on his face as he came out had definitely been the biggest smile that y/n had ever seen.

she took about a thousand pictures as he was given his medal and his team were presented with their trophy.

when they were done and it was time to go, santiago immediately ran over to y/n, who opened her arms to welcome her giddy brother in her embrace.

“¡campeones!” (champions!) santiago laughed as she ruffled his hair and pressed a big, hard kiss to his head.

“¡felicidades, santi! ¡has jugado increíble!” (congratulations, santi! you played amazing!)

“gracias, y/n.” santiago then turned to pedri and leaped into his open arms too. the older boy ran a hand up and down his back and y/n’s heart warmed at both of their expressions. she stared at the two in complete awe.

she knew how much it meant to santiago that pedri came. she knew he wanted to impress him, and although she was aware pedri could never be disappointed with sanitago, she didn’t want to ruin his mood.

having one of fc barcelonas current great players sat in the audience, no matter how close he was to him, would’ve been nerve-racking for anyone. so, she loved how consistently concentrated he stayed throughout the game.

“¡vamos campeón! ¡estuviste increíble ahí fuera!” (let’s go champion! you were amazing out there!) pedri cheered making the little boy giggle. they both pulled away and as the three of them started making their way to pedris car, santiago could not stop talking about the match.

just a week ago he was conversing about his thoughts for the match and how thrilled he was. now, a week later, as a mini champion, the joy couldn’t be wiped off of his face. this was just the beginning for him and y/n was excited to see more of moments like these in his upcoming ages.

the two actively listened to his rambling, not wanting to interject the fact that they were watching the match too.

he was in a spectacular mood and they did not want to ruin that for him.

GIRL WE NEED A HOW GAVI WOULD BE AS A DAD ASAPP!!💗💗

PABLO GAVI AS A FATHER WOULD INCLUDE

this is so cute and fluffy I can't

At first, everything was difficult

As soon as you found out about the pregnancy, you didn't know what to do

The thought of telling Gavi about it made you feel sick

Once you talked about whether you wanted to have a child, it was at the beginning of your relationship and Gavi concluded he didn't want to have children yet and didn't know if he wanted to have them in the future

Not to mention that you were both so young

You had just finished school, his soccer career was developing, as was yours

You didn't know how you should tell him about it

As soon as you took the tests, you quickly got rid of them from the house, so that he wouldn't accidentally find them in the trash

Your friend tried to persuade you to tell him, but to no avail

Every time you tried to strike up a conversation, his innocent look brought back a voice in your head that screamed that it would ruin his career

Two weeks passed until finally it was Pablo who asked what was going on

He came home after training, and when he saw you again immersed in your thoughts, he couldn't stand it

He asked politely if you had any problems you weren't telling him about, because he could see that you had been different for a while

Tears flowed into your eyes when you heard this

When you shook your head, he asked if maybe you just had a falling out of love or needed a break in the relationship

But then you told him the truth

For a moment he looked at you horrified, thinking he had misheard or you had confused your words

However, when he realized you were not joking, and that you were serious about all this, his mouth opened

He asked if you wanted to keep the baby and said he would support you with everything

When you said you wanted to give birth, he took you in his arms and kissed you

He also asked you not to keep such important information from him again

Pablo was really serious about your pregnancy

You told your family and closest friends, who were very supportive of you in all this and offered their help if you needed it

He went with you to all your follow-up appointments with the gynecologist and carefully observed the doctor during examinations

He looked as if he could lash out at him if he did something wrong

But every time tears came to his eyes when he saw your baby on USG

He read pages about what to eat during pregnancy and would buy it all buy the tons

When he read about beans are the healthiest, You ate bean dishes prepared by Gavi for a whole week

For the rest of your pregnancy and beyond, you couldn't look at beans

BUT IMAGINE YOUR FIRST TRIP TO THE BABY STORE

He would look like a baby in a chocolate factory

''How many cute clothes here''

''Y/N, do you prefer the one with bunnies or bears?

''Let's still buy the same one, but in a different color.''

I think he would buy anything the saleswoman offered him

He bought several types of breast pumps because ''I don't know which one will be better for us''

He tried to assemble the furniture for your baby's room himself

But in the end he called professionals in your absence to do it for him, when the crib he assembled literally fell apart

He wanted to be at the birth

But you asked him out when he got into a discussion with the medical staff because ''I read on the Internet...''

They invited him into the room when it was all over

He was happy like a small child and couldn't hold back a tear of happiness

His first words to the baby? ''Calm down, daddy is here''.

He really took the role of father seriously

When you could go out for walks with the baby, he went out with him every day

He fed it at night with milk that you pumped with a breast pump so you could sleep peacefully

He loved to take care of your baby

But imagine how your baby would start teething

''Y/N, what's wrong with him? Let's take him to the hospital.''' ''Pablo, it's just his teeth growing.'' ''What if it's something else? On the Internet, I read...'' , ''Pablo, come out or I'll throw his diaper at you.''

If you had a girl, he would call her ''my little princess,'' and if a boy ''my little superhero.''

When he heard the first word of your child, he would walk around all week amused

Even on the field and during training, he was calmer

This made Pedri laugh at him sometimes

But he didn't care about it at all

He had a picture of you and your child together set up on the lock screen

Your child would have everything he would look at

''Pablo, but he has a lot of similar toys.'', ''Yes, but he asked so nicely. I couldn't refuse.''

When your child started crawling, he squealed with happiness

But when it took its first steps, god

He acted like a teenager who saw her idol

I think Pablo as a father, would do everything to be the best

hermanito ~ pedri

summary: y/n’s little brother absolutely adores pedri.

y/n’s little brother, santiago, loves barcelona. he’s only 8 years old, so young yet so talented and he had such an immense passion for the club. he grew up loving barcelona, its history, it’s players, something he shared with his older sister.

he also loved playing football. y/n was always amazed with her little brothers talent. he had so much potential, and y/n only wished the absolute best for him in the future, wishing that his love for the sport never fades or weakens, and he grows up as a role model for other kids.

she was aware of how much shock he would be in when she broke the news to him that she had started dating one of barcelonas current rising stars, pedri. what she wasn’t ready for was for santiago to burst into tears and run into pedris arms.

y/n knew how much santiago loved pedri. as soon as he’d joined the team, santiago never stopped talking about how he wanted to be exactly like him. he looked up to him just as he did for many of barcelona’s older players and y/n loved the passion he held.

y/n, along with her parents, chuckled a little as santiago wrapped his arms around pedris frame, resting his head against his stomach and crying into his shirt. pedri looked to his girlfriend with an awed expression, pouting a little as he leaned down to press a kiss to santiago’s hair and wrap his arms around the little boy.

santiago felt as if he was dreaming. the fact that pedri was stood in his house, his living room, next to his big sister was so ethereal to him. he didn’t know what else to do but cry.

his feet still hurt a little from running about in the garden for hours with his football before his mother had called him in for a surprise. his number 10 jersey clung to his slightly sweaty body and he was still trying to catch his breath but he felt it being knocked out of him again.

one of his favourite players was stood right infront of him. he couldn’t feel anymore emotional as he pulled away and rubbed the tears away from his face.

he looked up at the player as pedri gave him a small smile back and put his hand up for a high-five.

“hola, santiago.”

from that moment on, santiago talked about pedri non-stop. he would always ask y/n when he’s coming over, when his next match is, whether he can go to training with him, whether he can go for a drive with him in his car, whether he can sleep over, whether they can all watch a movie together.

y/n adored their relationship. she loved how gentle pedri was with her baby brother, how much he loved him like he was his own little sibling.

she loved watching them pass the football around in the backyard, teaching him the secrets of playing. she loved taking pictures of santiago and pedri, keeping her favourite ones as her lock screen. her two favourite boys, her loves.

she couldn’t be anymore thankful for having pedri in her life as well as santiago’s.

however, there was no surprise that their breakup hit santiago the most. he was devastated, sad, angry, heartbroken, it was if he went through it himself. y/n understood how he felt.

he looked up to pedri. he was like a big brother to him.

so when he stopped coming over, stopped calling, stopped taking santi for drives around town, the little boy was confused and hurt. when he found out that it was because y/n and pedri broke up, he didn’t know what to do but argue.

the boy had a temper in him, that was obvious to anyone who spent longer than an hour with him. ofcourse, he started asking questions about their split. why did they break up? why dont they just meet up and talk it out?

y/n tried to calmly explain the situation to him, in an easy way for him to understand, for him to not feel angry towards pedri, towards y/n, towards himself. it took time but eventually she got him to calm down, though it didn’t help how heartbroken she felt seeing him so low for weeks after.

she hated watching her baby brother kick the ball around the backyard by himself. she offered to play with him many times but he’d just shake his head and continue. when she’d pick him up from his weekly football club, he wouldn’t ramble on and on about his day as he usually did. there would be short sentences, short smiles, short hugs.

he didn’t go to any of barcelonas games after that either. she would watch the matches on the tv with him, making a few comments here and there to get him to talk but she’d receive the usual minimal answers from him.

she knew santiago wasn’t angry with her. he was just sad. sad that pedri wasn’t in their lives anymore. sad that he probably wouldn’t see him again, play with him, hug him - his big brother.

he took time getting used to not having him around anymore, after a year and a half of seeing him almost everyday.

•••

it was a few weeks after santiago’s 9th birthday when y/n walked into his bedroom with a grin on her face. she had a brand new blaugrana jersey in her hands as she walked in to see him playing on his ipad.

“vamos, santi.” (let’s go santi) the boy turned, confused, to see her holding a jersey.

“¿qué? ¿dónde?” (what? where?) he sat up.

“compré entradas para el partido del barça.” (i bought us tickets for the barça match)

she watched as santiago’s eyes widened and he immediately jumped up from his bed. her heart melted and her smile wavered as he jumped to wrap her in a big hug and she wasted no time hugging him back. this was the first proper hug they’d shared in quite a long time, one where santiago willingly wrapped his arms around her.

y/n knew in that moment that everything between them would be okay. she knew all it took was a little bravery for her brother, a little motivation for her to be able to see pedri again, to go to the matches.

she didn’t want to think about pedri right now. she was only doing this for santi, because he’d been so down, so unhappy that he wasn’t able to watch his favourite team at camp nou as he usually did.

but how could she not think about pedri when it was him who was fueling a spark of excitement in her brother. santi was happy because he’d also get to see pedri play again, not just from a screen.

y/n slightly pulled back to show him the jersey. she held it up, the bright number 8 and santiagos name at the top glistened along with the vivid colours of blue and red.

santiago gasped and grabbed the jersey from her hold, examining the beauty of it before hugging her once more, whispering repetitive ‘thank yous’ into her shoulder.

y/n happily smiled, glad to see her brother so lively again.

•••

the match had ended and barcelona had won. santiago was as happy as he’d ever been in his life. he cheered at the top of his lungs as if this was his last match. when he entered he took everything in as if he’d come back from a long break.

when he saw the players coming on, he looked to his older sister, seeing her biting her lip as she looked around the stadium. it was as if she was trying to not make eye contact with any of the players. they were sat so close to the pitch, she knew none of them would actually look over here, but she didn’t wanna know what would happen if they did.

instead, y/n took pictures of her little brother, wanting to cherish this moment forever. his new jersey looked so adorable on him, she made a mental note to get him one in all the different barcelona jerseys.

as they were walking out, y/n ran into mikky, frenkies girlfriend. mikky obviously stopped to talk to her, how could she not? the two were so close whilst y/n was still dating pedri. they would always sit with eachother, talk, laugh, but they were also friends outside of the stadium.

y/n didn’t tell anyone she was going to be at the match, wanting it to be just her and santiago, but that did not counteract the surprise that fell onto mikkys face. they started a conversation and y/n felt content that they were able to comfortably start off as if they never even stopped talking.

after conversing for atleast five minutes, mikky got a message from frenkie saying he was waiting in the car. y/n knew that was her queue to leave so she looked down at where santiago still held onto her hand, and looked back up at her friend.

when mikky insisted that the two come with her, to greet frenkie, maybe if some of the other players were there too she could meet them again. y/n refused, knowing how awkward it would be. maybe not for santiago, since some of pedris teammates already loved him, he was practically their biggest fan.

but it would be awkward for her, especially since their breakup.

y/n told mikky that exact reason but she only shrugged it off as an excuse and insisted once again. the younger girl was about to refuse one last time when she felt her brother tug on her hand. she looked down and santi held a hopeful look on his face.

he wanted to meet them all again.

“por favor y/n. sólo esta vez.” (please, y/n, just this once) he held that expectant look in his eyes as he stared up at her. she couldn’t say no to him so she nodded and walked with mikky towards the private parking lot.

frenkie was stood by his car, talking with ferran and ansu. the two greeted them all with smiles and hugs. when ferran and ansu saw santiago, their own eyes widened and they didn’t stop the little boy from shyly hugging them all.

after talking with frenkie and mikky for a bit, y/n bid them both goodbye before falling into conversation with ansu. ferran had also left, leaving santiago to patiently stand next to his sister as he calmly waited for pedri to come out. he recognised his car parked a few feet away from him and was hoping for him to come, knowing he would.

y/n was getting ready to end her conversation with ansu, knowing he must be tired too and wanting to go home. however, she felt her heart rate pick up when she heard santiago call out for his favourite player.

“¡pedriiii!”

she turned to see him running towards pedri, who stood with a surprised look on his face. stunned, he opened his arms and welcomed the little boy into them with a huge smile on his face.

pedri didn’t want to admit how much he’d missed santiago, as well as y/n. he thought of the two on a daily, wondering what they were doing, wondering what they could’ve been doing if the breakup had never happened, wondering what went wrong.

that year and a half was the most blessed of his life and he would do anything to go back and continue living his life like that.

pedri rubbed santiago’s back as he tightly wrapped his arms around his neck, resting his head on the player’s shoulder in content. santiago felt comfortable in his arms, happy, calm.

“hola, santi.” he said into his ear.

“te extrañé pedri.” (i missed you pedri) his voice sounded sad, as if he was on the verge of tears.

“yo también, hermanito.” (me too, little brother)

pedri looked up to see y/n stood watching the two. he had noticed ansu talking with her before, but now she stood alone, with a relieved smile on her pretty lips.

the oxygen seemed to have left his system as his gaze met hers and he felt as though she was thanking him with her eyes. thanking him for being such a huge figure in her brothers life, for bringing him so much happiness.

y/n’s heart was beating in her ears as she watched them interact. they shared small words to eachother while they walked towards her, her eyes taking in the big smile on pedris lips and the adoration in his eyes as he looked at the two of them.

a sibling type of adoration for santi, and a lovers type of adoration for y/n.

when he reached her, pedri shot her a smile and greeted her. his fingers clamped shut in his pocket, aching to reach forward and caress her cheek, rub his thumb under her eye as he usually did, push the fallen hair away from her face.

santiago watched as his two favourite people interacted with eachother again. it was like a movie he’d seen before, a long time ago. something he was so used to seeing everyday but still felt foreign to.

the love that radiated off of the pair months and months ago still lingered in the air, and santiago could feel it. he was so young but he clearly knew better than both of them and that was something he found amusing.

he watched, on the verge of a loud laugh, as they both shyly exchanged minimal words. pedri stared at her as if he’d never seen someone so beautiful, and y/n gazed at him with longing in her eyes.

when she lowly laughed at something pedri said, santi watched his sisters eyes sparkle. he’d never seen her look at someone like that before, so infatuated and in love.

“¡sigo aquí! ¡deja de coquetear!” (i’m still here! stop flirting!) they both turned to look at the kid, blush tinting both of their cheeks.

“lo siento, santi, deberíamos ir.” (sorry, santi, we should go now)

pedri instantly turned to her, “¿muy pronto?” (so soon?)

“si, se hace tarde pedro. deberiamos irnos.” (yeah, it is getting late, pedro. we should go.)

a sense of panic immediately set in his stomach. he’d finally met her again, talked to her again, had the opportunity to gaze at her again. he didn’t want to let it go so quickly.

“¿quieres que te deje en casa?” (do you want me to drop you off at home?)

she shook her head, “conduje hasta aquí.” (i drove here)

“vale.” (okay) he didn’t know what to say next. he was contemplating between still asking if they wanted to go for dinner, go for a drive, meet up tomorrow - anything for him to be able to see her again, talk to her again.

he’d missed doing that. hell, he longed for it.

however, it seems santiago had other plans as he stepped towards pedri with a cheeky smile on his face.

“quiero ir con pedri en su coche. por favor, y/n.” (i want to go with pedri in his car, please y/n) santi looked up at her with pleading eyes. pedri chuckled and tilted his head towards santi, silently encouraging y/n to agree.

she looked at her brother with raised brows, contemplating her decision. there wasn’t much to think about though, she trusted pedri fully.

she agreed with a nod of her head and a smile fell on her face when santiago cheered and ran over to pedris car, ready to get himself comfortable. pedri snickered at the little boys cheerful behaviour before turning back to y/n, his eyes falling once again on her gorgeous features.

tone hesitant yet calming, he asked if she wanted to join them. “pero mi coche está aquí.” (but my car is here) she reasoned.

he shook his head, “podemos volver a por ella después.” (we can come back for it after)

y/n’s heart rate zoomed to the next level at his sincere expression. she took in his handsome features, so sharp yet so smooth. she thought back to when she had the pleasure of staring at him for hours on end, touching and kissing his every feature, caressing his soft skin.

the pink tint to her cheeks darkened. she shook off the past thoughts and gave pedri a little nod. he grinned and led her to his car with a hand on the small of her back. he opened the door for her, a gesture he did every single time they went out and still clung onto.

after he shut her door, pedri giddily walked over to the drivers side. he couldn’t hold the big grin back as it stretched accross his lips, his heart beating with much more force, something that happened everytime y/n was around.

he had two of his most loved people in his life, ready to go for a drive to wherever they desired.

he’d been blessed one more time.
