masterlist
Relatively, you were an extremely shy person and had no experience in relationships. Your relationship with Gavi was your first and it was still quite new, you had only been together for three months and you had never once stayed at his place or he at yours for the night.
Today, however, he asked you to stay with him for the night, and you hesitantly agreed, not wanting to disappoint him with your strange behavior.
There was no hiding the fact that you were stressed. You were nervous and overthinking how the night would go. Sure, you had laid together before, but you had never slept next to each other, Gavi had accidentally fallen asleep on your lap after a tiring workout, but nothing more.
You were currently in the bathroom, taking deep breaths, trying to calm down. You finally grabbed the doorknob and saw Pablo already lying in bed, waiting for you.
He gave you a smile and opened the duvet for you to join him, which you did very hesitantly. You noticed that the boy was sleeping in only boxers, which made you tense and blush.
You felt awkward, you didn't know how to behave in a new situation for you, and there was no way to avoid it.
Gavi didn't notice your discomfort and just pulled you closer to him, sighing loudly in pleasure. You lay still, as if paralyzed, you couldn't shake the feeling of discomfort, even though he was your boyfriend and you shouldn't feel like that.
At some point, Gavi sensed some anxiety coming from you. He raised his head, looking at you questioningly.
"Is everything okay, honey?" he asked and you sighed. He was so cute and you were complicated.
âYes, don't worryâ you said, smiling slightly, but he didn't believe you.
âTell me the truthâ he said, looking at you with puppy dog eyes.
âNo, that's stupidâ you said flustered and he clucked, shaking his head.
"It can't be stupid if you're uncomfortable" he announced. "I-Is it me?" he asked uncertainly.
âNo, it's just-â you started. "You sleep in boxers and I've never slept with a guy and it's kind of... awkward" you finally confessed, feeling your cheeks heat up with embarrassment.
âOhâ he opened his mouth, but smiled at you. "If you feel better then, I can put on shorts" he said.
You nodded slightly, and the boy stood up from the bed and complied with your request. He put on his shorts before climbing back into the bed with a smile, pulling you close to him again and you giggled.
âTell me next time, I want you to feel safe with meâ he whispered, looking into your eyes and you nodded.
"I just have to get used to it. It'll be better next time" you announced, and he smiled and placed a sweet kiss on your lips.
After that you went to sleep, Gavi fell asleep before you and you could finally feel at peace.
And like you said, the next time was better. You started to be more open to the new situation, and Pablo started to pay more attention to you, especially taking care of your comfort. The awkwardness was forgotten, it was just you and him in your bubble where you found complete understanding.

êš - quality time ; his love language is definitely quality time. he loves spending time with you whether itâs quiet evenings inside or going for a late night walk.
êš - heâs the type to bring you flowers randomly, not bc itâs a special occasion but on a random tuesday, just because why not.
êš - heâs not fond of pda at all so instead heâll just hold your hand or rest his arm around your shoulders just to make it known youâre his.
êš - COMMUNICATION IS KEY. heâs big on communication so heâll always make you feel heard.
êš - his gifting is thoughtful ; he pays close attention to things you love and will always include that in gifting whenever he can.
êš - he loves being close to you. whenever youâre together heâll bring you closer to him and if youâre away for days heâll send voice notes talking about how much he misses you.
êš - whenever heâs with his teammates heâll always try and mention you, and if you visit him after his training, theyâll never stop teasing him.
êš - he âaccidentallyâ leaves his hoodies at your place.
êš - lowkey a cutie bc whenever you fall asleep on him heâll take a photo of you and post it on his story for you to see when you wake up

Pedri supporting his girlfriend who plays for Barca femeni after she gets hurt at her game?
pedri gonzalez x barçafemeni!reader
sy: after a sustained head injury, all you need is the comfort (and slight lesson) from your boyfriend to ease you back to normal.
a/n: i did this as a more realistic approach and added our current female players as teammates & i probably yapped too much for this but still (i need to make my fics longer)
â ïž i have literally only just come across a similar fic to what ive written, but genuinely ive had this in my drafts for around a week now, but still had to finish off the end. so please, there is no copyright intended as i wrote this before the other authors fic, but no communication was present & i wasnât going to scrap this all away after spending so long writing.
warnings: not really .
âhmph!â
being fouledâagain.
after being hurled to the curb by madridâs opposing player, you swiftly bounce back onto the heels of your feet.
your socks had been rolled down to yours ankles in uneven lengths, your shin pads slipping from their placed position and your jersey covered in dirt and dust.
âcâmon ref, your not gonna call that?!â aitana calls out, whilst alexiaâteam captainârushes over to complain.
vicky rushes over to you, with a disconcerting look. âÂżoye estas bien? you took a pretty nasty fall there.â (are you okay?).
âyesâyeah im fine,â you grumble hoarsely, narrowing your eyes at the madrid players on the other side of the pitch that were pointing fingers and snickering in your direction.
she gives you a pat on the back, as the ref blows the whistle. you snap your head around, and heâs holding up a yellow card.
âen serio?!â alexia protests, âall im saying is that you made a mistake!â
with a huff, the blonde struts off towards you and vicky, pushing her slidden armband higher up her arm.
âyellow card huh?â vicky says, shaking her head. putellas tuts, hollering to the remainder of your team over.
âi swear they donât even try to hide the bias, it happens every single game,â kiera argues, jogging over as they all nod in agreement.
salma shuffles in closer, encouraging a group huddle. âlook we arenât going to win this by complainingâwe need a strategy.â
âsĂ but what? theyâre brutal tonight sal,â aitana replies. âweâve tried every strategy in the book so far, and y/ns injured.â
they all glance over to you, their star striker, covered head to toe in cuts and bruises. not to mention, the amount of grassâ turf that clung to your skin was intolerable.
âiâm not injured,â you say firmly, knotting your brows in defence despite the unbearable sting creeping up your ankle.
your teammates donât look convinced, but they donât push further. the referee is already growing impatient, gesturing for the game to continue.
alexia claps her hands, âalright team, ten coraje.â
you all disburse, as you limp your way back to your position. to be honest, your ankle was throbbing and with every step it felt like your bone could crack.
everyoneâs back in their places, as the whistle blows again. your quick to sprint in impulse, but as soon as you do, you wince in pain.
âjoder,â you curse, watching as the ball slips away from you, and to the madrid forward.
your vision wavers as you try to recover, but the pain shoots up to your leg. you swiftly glance at your teammates for help, but theyâre all too focused on the game to notice.
unbeknownst to you, pedri is up in the standsâsilent and worried. heâs accompanied by ferran and gavi, who equally have the most bewildered expressions too.
âi know this story,â ferran interrupts quietly, âand it doesnât end well.â
pedri doesnât say anything, but instead his eyes are fixed on you, with your slow and painful movements. heâs noticed how sluggish youâve become since the last hit, and even though you tried to look sharper, it wasnât possible.
âshe needs to ask to get subbed off or something. this isnât doing her or the team any good.â gavi slices through the deafening silence, whoâs on the edge of his seat.
itâs true. since the whistle blew, you had lost the ball a good three times, which you could of easily intercepted or won back.
âshe wonât,â pedri finally speaks. âsheâs too stubborn for that, even if itâs breaking her.â
ây/n! get your head in the game!â hansen orders, giving you a harsh nudge. âwe canât afford to lose this game because you cant focus.â
âiâm trying okay? but my ankle justââ
âyou told us you werenât injured.â she shrugs, running over to the midfield where the hustle was.
unfortunately, she was right but you were too stubborn to confess, but besides thereâs no chance you could give up now.
you sigh, rubbing the sweat from your forehead with the back of your arm. you didnât want to admit it but you were costing them the game; after failed promises you couldnât live up to.
minutes pass by and you find yourself on your rivals side of the pitch, with the ball close to madrids net, and you find this as a perfect opportunity to shoot it into the goal.
with a sharpe exhale, you push every ounce of power you still have into a jump, as you watch the ball loft into the air.
as you jump, ready to head straight into the netâ
âso does madrids defender.
your heads collide mid-air, a stark snap ringing throughout your ears before a wave of pain explodes across your skull.
everything happens so fast. the world tilts and spins and before you know it, your plunged into darkness.
the impact sends you pelting down onto the pitch, rolling onto your side with a loud groan.
the entirety of your vision blurs, a shrill ringing noise overwhelming all of your senses that make you clutch your forehead in pain.
the refereeâfor onceâmakes a sensible decision and immediately blows the whistle as your teammates sprint their way over.
each one of them have worry painted all over their faces, trying try their best to comfort you.
âshitây/n, you shouldnât of done that,â kieraâs the first to speak, cutting through the haze. but all you can manage is a grunt in response.
âmove, move, give her space.â alexia instructs, dropping to her knees besides you.
âi donât need help,â you mutter, attempting to sit up but failing when another sneer throb shoots through your skull. âit was just a small blow.â
ânada, nada.. you need to get checked out,â vicky says firmly. she also kneels down to the floor, keeping her hand on shoulder to keep you down.
in the stands, pedri continues watching in horror, his hands curled into fists from the first second of contact.
âwhatâs going on? i canât see,â pablo nudges ferran for an answer.
âmaybe itâs because youâre too short,â ferran snorts and begins laughing. gavi scoffs theatrically, giving the man a forceful push.
pedri shoots them both daggers, clearly not amused. ânowâs not the time for jokes hermano.â
âright, sorry,â they both nod and look back to the pitch. from their view, all they can see is that your laying flat on the floor whilst the rest of barça femenĂ are surrounding you.
back on the pitch, the medics are already making their way over but your still trying to argue your case.
you sigh for the third time, âhonestly, iâm fineâi can keep playing hermana.â
âthis wonât prove that your any tougher,â aitana declares, with an innocence to her tone. âwe already know you are, stop fighting it y/n.â
your lips part in objection, until a second pulse of ache pierces through your skull, making you sway.
the medics already have cloths to your temple, thermometers down your throat and pills in their grasps. but once the thermometer beeps, the decisions made.
âthatâs it your coming off,â one announces, helping you to your feet. alexia and vicky also help you up, giving you small hugs for support.
salma gives you a kiss of encouragement to your head as your guided off, your head still heavy.
the crowd roars with fury, and you can feel the puncture of the fansâ eyes analysing every single twitch of movement you made.
. . .
the medics room is cold, eerie and in general not a place youâd like to be in. the fan above was moving slowly, almost painfully.
you were lying on the examination table, blinking slowly as you tried to adjust to the light; every sound echoed in your head like its bouncing off cave walls.
âkeep your head still please,â the doctor instructs, shining a dainty flashlight into your eyes.
you wince, groaning at the intensity. âugh do i have to?â
âyes.â he deadpans, moving to the other eye. âyouâve got a grade two concussion, and a potential ankle sprain.â
âwhat does that mean?â you ask him seriously, as your brain still hasnât caught up to speed.
âitâs nothing too dangerous. you will just require plenty of rest, and unfortunately, you will miss quite a few mââ
heâs about to continue when heâs interrupted by a loud opening burst of the door. ây/n!â
pedriâs voice makes you finally twist, as heâs at your side within seconds. his hands straightaway reach for your own, warm against your cold fingers.
âwhat the hell was that?â he demands, his brows furrowed in deep concern. âyou could of cracked your skull open and you still wanted to keep playing?â
his tone is sharp, but his touch is gentle even as they cup your face, evenly smoothing over your clammy forehead.
you blink up at him, struggling to focus.
âsince when have there been two of you amore?â you ask, completely disregarding his question.
pedriâs frown deepens. âyeah your definitely concussed.â
your smile is lazy and carefree, poking his cheek when he turns to the doctor in ambition for your medical results.
âyouâre cute when your angry,â you giggle, your mindset with him a polar opposite of before. your boyfriend doesnât answer you, so you insist.
âpedrii,â you whine, pulling on the strings of his hoodie to pull him closer. âarenât you listening to me?â
he snaps out of conversation with the doctor abruptly, his face now so close to yours that you can feel the tickle of his breath. âsĂ carino, iâm listening.â
âwhat did i just say then?â you grouse, annoyed.
he hums, obviously not having the briefest idea of what you actually said. âsomething about the lights?â
âno silly, i said, youâre cute when your angry.â
pedri sighs, âthis isnât funny y/n, you could of gotten seriously hurt.â
âkind of is,â you mumble, the corner of your mouth curving into a vague smile. âyour all worked up over me.â
âyeah and earn myself a heart attack,â he lets out with a small chuckle, giving a quick peck to the tip of your nose.
his hands shift up to cradle your jaw, his thumbs brushing delicately over your cheekbones. âyou genuinely did scare the shit out of me though,â he admits, his tone softer now. âplease never do that to me again.â
âill try,â you say flatly, shrugging your shoulders.
âno you wonât try, you will.â he corrects, sweeping lost hairs from your face. âiâm never letting you do that to me again.â
âthreatening me isnât going to work pedro,â you snort airly.
âif i say that i wonât let you kiss me until you stop being so reckless, then will it work?â he counters, with a smug smirk.
your eyes widen slightly, âyou wouldnât.â
pedri tilts his head, his smile unwavering. âtry me.â
you dramatically sigh, but continue fidgeting with the strings of his hoodie. âthatâs so cruel, especially when iâm hurt.â
âcall it what you want amor,â he grins, âbut if it stops you from terrifying the hell out of me then iâll do it.â
you huff, looking away, but pedri isnât having it. he leans in, pressing a lingering kiss to your temple, right where the impact was worst. then another, softer this time. and another. his lips trail over every tender spotâyour forehead, the side of your head, down to your cheek, as if his kisses alone could erase the pain.
âpromise me that youâll be more careful,â he murmurs between kisses. âplease.â
even though you werenât fully reassured of yourself, rather you simply forget or donât entirely listen, you do owe him a favour.
for everything.
âi promise,â you whisper, voice small.
pedri still doesnât look fully convinced, but he holds you tighter anyway, his lips pressing against your hair one more timeâone final reminder that, no matter what, heâd always be there to put you back together.

itâs loud in the restaurant, glasses clinking, plates being passed, laughter bouncing off every corner of the table.
but none of it really matters.
because pauâs sitting in the middle of it all, quietly zoned out, eyes only on you.
youâd gotten up to grab something off the far end of the table, weaving through teammates and chairs and banter, and somehow ended up standing right between his knees as you reached across the table.
and instead of shifting or moving back, he just rests his hands gently on the backs of your thighs. casual. warm. his.
your breath catches just a little.
you glance down at him and smile, hands instinctively finding his shoulders, then sliding up into his hair.
his hair is soft. his eyes are softer.
and god, heâs looking at you like youâre made of light.
like heâs not in the middle of a team dinner with half the squad watching.
like youâre the only sound he hears.
you start rambling about something, what someone said earlier, a joke he missed, how chaotic the other end of the table is.
and he just listens.
quiet smile on his lips. fingers still tracing slow, lazy shapes on the backs of your thighs. head tilted just slightly so he can look up at you better.
he nods at all the right moments, gives little mhmâs and amused half laughs, but mostly?
heâs just watching.
like heâs memorizing you. like he already has.
someone down the table calls his name.
he doesnât even flinch.
you finally stop talking, a little breathless, a little shy under his stare.
âwhat?â you whisper, laughing softly. âwhy are you looking at me like that?â
he just smiles.
âyouâre the best part of my night. thatâs all.â
and yeah. you feel it. all the way down to your fingertips.

can you make a story about Marc and reader, where he teases her about the height difference
summary:: you didnât choose to be short. but marc chose you. so therefore he canât complain youâre short! but he does đ.
warnings:: none!?
writers note:: lowkey gonna spam bc i always write my fics in my notes bc tumblr deletes drafts and iâve written sm all i need to do is format đ .
tags:: @barcapix @n0vazsq @httpsdana @paucubarsisimp @universefcb @nngkay
you werenât even sure how the conversation started. one moment, you were waiting for him outside the training grounds, minding your business, and the next, marc was teasing you relentlessly about your height.
âcan you even see over the dashboard when you drive?â he smirked, looking down at you as you both walked toward his car.
you rolled your eyes. âyes, marc. i donât need a booster seat.â
âare you sure?â he nudged your side, laughing. âi can get you one, you know. iâll even make it barca themed.â
âoh, youâre hilarious,â you deadpanned, shoving him lightly. it barely did anything, considering he was literally towering over you.
marc had been on this for weeks. every chance he got, heâd make some comment about how much smaller you were compared to him. it wasnât even like you were that short, he was just unfairly tall.
âwait, stand next to me for a sec,â he said, stopping in his tracks.
you groaned. âmarcââ
âjust for a second,â he grinned.
you sighed but humored him, standing beside him as he straightened his posture. he looked down at you, then burst out laughing.
âoh my god, i swear youâre getting shorter.â
you smacked his arm. âor maybe youâre just a freakishly tall human being.â
he ignored your insult, clearly enjoying himself. âi bet if we took a picture, people would think iâm your bodyguard.â
you gasped. âyou did not just say that.â
he was dying of laughter at this point, barely able to breathe. âno, no, seriously. imagine me in a suit, standing behind you, all serious. people would think iâm protecting you from the paparazzi.â
you groaned dramatically. âyouâre the worst.â
âno, youâre the worst,â he shot back playfully, slinging an arm around your shoulders with ease. âbut itâs okay, i still like you, even if i have to break my neck looking down at you.â
you huffed, but you couldnât hide the small smile creeping onto your lips. âyouâre so lucky i like you too, otherwise iâd trip you in the locker room.â
he grinned. âiâd like to see you try, shorty.â
and just like that, the teasing continued.

Hey can you do one for Alejandro Balde where he's childhood best friends with reader. Some angst where other girls seem to come into the picture with his fame but he finds out how Y/N feels and reassures her!
alejandro balde x childhood bsf!fem!reader
sy: you become painfully overwhelmed by how your childhood bsf becomes swarmed and smitten with his own fangirls, as you become increasingly scared to admit your love.
a/n: this has terribly been in my drafts since oct and im actually ashamed for leaving it so long. i hope this makes up for it though <3
warnings: not really tbf.
the sky hung low with a suffocating greyness, and the wind nipped at your skin as you lingered on the outskirts of the pitch.
heâd asked you to be here.
you bounced on the heels of your feet, your fingers nervously etching across the leather purse in your grasp, scratching at the silk. you felt out of place, like you didnât belong here, but then againâhe asked you to be here.
the laughter reached you first, light and airy, floating across the pitch like the first taunt of a fight you couldnât win.
there he was. alejandroâswirled up in the centre of a foreign crowd. instead, lavishing with women in head to toe with glam. their eyes sparkled with admiration, their voices like birdsongs when they exclaimed out his name.
that smile; the same one you knew like the back of your hand.
but him? he only basked in it. basked in the attention that he received, oblivious to the way it shredded you, piece by pieceâleaving raw edges where your heart used to be whole.
the boy who once made pinky promises in the glow of streetlights, who used to scold you for crying over scraped knees and share his dreams with the kind of quiet fervor that only children possessâhe felt so far away now.
fame clung to him like a second skin, and you werenât sure youâd ever be able to peel it back and find the alejandro you knew.
âthis is so stupid,â you curse yourself silently, your eyes magnate down to your shoes. let this be the last time you let yourself be humiliated.
you fumble with the watch on your wrist, clocking down the minutes that had you foolishly stood here, waiting. twenty-nine minutes.
it was pointless in waiting here still; you werenât going to watch the clock tick to thirty as your self respect was slipping.
âhey,â balde called out, jogging to catch up to you, âyour leaving so soon?â
when you didnât turn around, he stopped you in your tracks by kneading his hand into your shoulder blade to prevent you from moving.
âalright party pooper, whatâs with the rush? do you not wanna talk to me tonight or something?â he laughed, that same, familiar sense of humour creeping through in every worse moment.
with his help, you spun round, and instantly locked with his eyes. âwhatâs with the pout chica? im here, now, talk to me.â
âwhatâs there to talk about ale?â you inquire, brushing his hand from your shoulder. âyou asked me to be here.â
âand you came,â alejandro pointed out with a grin, as if that alone made it better. âso i was thinking, if you wanted to stop by tonight.â
the way he said it, like he hadnât just spent the last half hour entertaining other women whilst you stood around like an idiot.
you wanted to say yes. you wanted to just forget the hurt and walk away with him. but after tonight, after feeling like an insignificant background character, you didnât have the strength to go.
âiâm just not feeling it today,â you whispered, avoiding eye contact. âsorry.â
âcâmon,â giving you playful jabs to your arm, âwhatâs the gloom? when do you ever reject me?â
there was a pause of silence. before you sighed, locking your hands behind your back. âitâs nothing.â
his grin faltered, his eyes examining your body language. ânada, no, seeânow i know your lying.â
âjust let it go ale.â you said, stepping back.
his teasing dropped almost instantly. âyour upset? mad? definitely not happy,â he muttered the final words under his breath. ânervous?â
you grumble, crossing your arms. âseriously?â
he tilted his head slightly, examining your face carefully. âare you on your perioâ?â
âno balde!â you finally snapped, which made his head instantly recoil back up. you couldnât keep the anger from breaking through, even if you tried. âare you not aware of what youâve just done?â
his expression stays blank, and if anything, he looks more shocked at your outburst than he does concerned. and that, more than anything, made the fire in you burn hotter.
âso your gonna stand there, mute, and act oblivious?!â you eventually screech, having no regard for who was listening. âas you always do i expect.â
âquĂ© i donâtââ
âno you never do. do you ale?â you spit, as he pushes you into a more secluded area underneath the tunnel; away from prying eyes.
âlook,â he sighs softly, âcan you explain it to me rather than screaming in my face?â
âyou dont deserve my explanation,â you mutter, feeling the sting of tears at the brim of your eyes.
your throat burned, the fury dissolving, leaving only a raw, aching pain in its wake. if you didnât leave now, it would only make you cry, and you couldnât let that happen.
not after defending yourself so promptly.
you turned away again, ready to walk off before you lost whatever shred of dignity you had left. but ale was too quick, wrapping his hand around you wrist before you had the chance.
âwhy do you keep pushing me away?â aleâs voice dropped an octave low, almost shameful. âim just trying to help you.â
with a slow twist back around, you met his gaze with an expression he could quite decipher.
the conflict of hurt and frustration clear in your eyes made his grip tighten, feeling the desperation in his fingers.
âmaybe i donât need your help!â you exclaim, the contradicting nature between his words and actions making your eyes burn. ânot now.â
âwhat do you mean not now?â
âisnât it clear?â you shake your head, âcan you really not see it⊠how i truly feel?â
âhow you feel? no i didnât even recogââ
you scoffed, pulling your wrist away. âexactly.â
balde exhaled through his nose, raking his fingers through his hair. âwhatâs this about huh? you could of just told me you didnât wanna come over y/n.â
âits not that,â you huff, staring at your shoes.
âthen what is it?â alejandro crouches slightly to look at your face, bringing his thumb under your chin.
when you didnât reply to him, he carried on.
âplease, whatever it is, i would rather us talk it out than you hating me for something iâve done.â and this time, his tone carried sincerity.
not like before, where it was all light and jovial, like he thought everything was just a joke. but instead, something that said he truly cared.
biting the inside of your cheek, you tried to keep your composure. âyou spent thirty minutes surrounded by them..â
the guilt in his eyes were immediate; the footballers shoulders dropped in regret.
â..and i stood there like a fool, waiting for you.â
you shuffled your feet against the concrete, finally bringing up the courage to look him in the eyes. âi didnât have to come.â
âi know,â he repliedâweak.
the words echoed in the tranquil air, closing in on you both as neither of you had the fight to say anything.
âi messed up,â he finally admitted, swallowing the lump in his throat. âi shouldâve been with you. i shouldâve seen you standing there.â
almost as a reflex, you squeezed your eyes shut in hopes to savour this moment if it wasnât real. you wanted to trust that it was real.
âhey, im being serious y/n. for the first time ever.â
your lips parted in protest, your heart racing at the proximity as he pressed his forehead against yours.
the closeness, the way his breath fanned over your skinâit was everything youâd spent years yearning for, but never daring to confront.
âtrust me when i say this,â he pulled back, brushing a stray hair from your face, âi donât want anybody else.â
you gulped thickly, his words playing strings with your heart. why did he wait for so long to say it?
âyou say that now,â you whisper, defeated. âbut what about tomorrow? or even weeks from now, when your surrounded by them?â
his brows furrowed, eyes dark with something unreadable. then, as if making a decision right then and there, he took your hands in his.
âthere wonât be a next time,â he promised, his thumbs tracing soft circles over your skin. âi donât care about them, nor the attention, the cameras, the noiseâit all means nothing without you.â
the words hit you harder than you expected, knocking the air from your lungs.
âi love you, nena. not them. not this life. you.â
your lips trembled, he was already pulling you in, pressing a lingering kiss against your forehead.
âi know i donât deserve an answer right now,â he murmured against your skin. âbut let me prove it to you, okay?â
a shuddered breath left you, your fingers gripping the front of his jacket as if letting go would mean losing him again.
âÂżme dejarĂĄs?â (will you let me?)
you didnât know what the future would hold, but for now, in this moment, you needed to let go of the fear. to let yourself trust him, fully.
âyeah,â you nodded, falling into the urge to rest your chin on his shoulderâyour resolve finally melting.
balde chuckled, relaxedly. âthat means you forgive me right?â
âi donât know, your on a test for the rest of this week.â you hummed mockingly, although really, it wasnât too bad of an idea.
alejandro shook his head disbelievingly, but deep down, he was just relieved that he had his best friend back, or even after thisâsomething more than just friends.
the scrape on your knee had been healed, the wounds of the past, and he was the one who healed it.

the apartment felt quieter than usual. the soft hum of the city outside and the distant buzz of your phone were the only sounds that kept you grounded as you stared out of the window. it had been a long day, and all you wanted was some peace. but that wasnât going to happen anytime soon.
kieranâs voice broke through the silence, though it was quieter than usual, almost uncertain. âi think iâm really going to go for it. celtic. end of the season.â
the words hung in the air, thick with unspoken tension.
you didnât turn to face him immediately, afraid that if you did, youâd betray the way your stomach had twisted in response. you felt the air grow heavy with the weight of his decision. he hadnât exactly asked you what you thought, but you didnât need him to. you both knew what this meant.
celtic was his home. heâd always spoken of them fondly, of the pride in representing the club that had raised him, that had seen him grow into the man he was today. and now, after everything, after all the time apart, after the struggles, the ups and downs, it was finally happening.
the move.
your heart ached at the thought.
you swallowed hard, trying to steady your voice. âitâs... itâs a good opportunity, kieran. for you.â
it sounded almost dismissive, even to your own ears, but you couldnât make yourself say anything else. because the truth was, a part of you was afraid. afraid that this was the moment that everything would change. that maybe you werenât ready to let go of what you had here. or that, perhaps, you werenât ready to follow him into this new chapter of his life.
kieran didnât respond right away, and you finally turned to face him. he was sitting at the kitchen counter, his eyes fixed on his phone. his shoulders were tense, but his face, his face was the same as always. the face that had smiled at you in countless photos, that had comforted you when things felt rough, that had been the one constant in your life for so long.
but now, it was a mask. a mask you werenât sure you could break through.
âyou donât seem happy,â he said softly, his eyes lifting to meet yours.
you took a shaky breath, the lump in your throat growing with every second. âof course iâm happy for you. itâs celtic. itâs everything youâve worked for. but... but what about us?â
the words spilled out of you before you could stop them. you didnât want to be selfish, but you couldnât help it. his dream was becoming a reality, and you... you didnât know where you fit into that anymore.
âwhat about us, kieran?â you repeated, your voice trembling. âare we at a place where... where i should follow you? can we keep doing this long-distance thing? or is this the end?â
the question hung between you, thick with all the unsaid words that had built up over the past few months. youâd both been busy, so busy, between his commitments, your own, that the time together had become sparse. and with this looming decision, with the inevitability of his move to celtic, you couldnât ignore it anymore.
kieran was silent, his gaze falling away from yours. âi didnât want to put that pressure on you,â he said quietly. âi donât want to make you feel like you have to come with me.â
âbut iâm not sure iâm ready to leave everything behind,â you confessed, your voice cracking. âiâve built my life here, kieran. my job. my friends. i canât just pick everything up and go.â
his eyes softened, and he stood up from the counter, walking over to you slowly, carefully. when he reached you, he cupped your face in his hands, his thumbs brushing away the few stray tears that had fallen.
âi didnât mean to make you feel that way,â he murmured. âiâm not asking you to leave everything behind for me. but youâre part of my future. thatâs not something i can just... walk away from.â
you blinked up at him, trying to process the gravity of his words. you wanted to believe him. you wanted to believe that you could make it work, that love could conquer distance, could conquer time.
but it wasnât that easy. not when you were being pulled in different directions, your own future uncertain.
âand what if this doesnât work out, kieran?â you asked, your voice barely above a whisper. âwhat if you go to celtic, and things change? what if we change?â
he closed his eyes for a moment, as if the weight of your question was too much to bear. then, with a slow breath, he replied, âi donât have the answers. i donât know what the future holds. all i know is that i want you in it. i want us in it. but i canât ask you to follow me if youâre not ready.â
the silence that followed was deafening. you wanted to reach out to him, to hold him, to reassure him that you didnât want to lose him. but you also needed to be sure of yourself. you needed to know that you were making the right choice, for both of you.
âkieran...â you started, but the words caught in your throat.
he kissed your forehead gently, and you melted into him, allowing yourself the brief comfort of his touch. âwhatever you decide, iâm not going anywhere,â he whispered. âbut iâm here for the long haul, and i need you to know that.â
you closed your eyes, allowing yourself to feel the warmth of his words, even if they didnât fully ease the uncertainty in your heart. for a moment, you allowed yourself to lean into him, to breathe in the scent of him, to just be with him. you werenât ready to make a decision, but you didnât want to let go of what you had, either.
the future was uncertain, but in this moment, you had each other. and maybe that was enough to keep you going.
for now.
