i would never argue, never talk back, never raise my voice
Hey I love your work can you please do a fic with Gavi were the reader is a professional tennis player and they are trying to get to watch each others matches but it's like really difficult. That would be soo cool. And maybe the reader is like Pedris sister or something. And he wants to see every match of her even if it's in halftime and their like dating since their 15 . Thank you
summary:: you’re both supportive of each others careers but obviously there’s obstacles. matches, opens, you name it. that’ll never let it stop gavi though.
warnings:: no

dating pablo gavi was a constant battle, not because he made things difficult (well, maybe sometimes), but because trying to align your schedules was practically impossible.
you were both professional athletes, both constantly traveling, both juggling training, matches, and media responsibilities. it was hard enough keeping up with your own career, let alone finding time to see each other.
but somehow, against all odds, you’d been making it work since you were fifteen.
‘where are you watching from?’
the text came through as you were tying your shoelaces, preparing for your next match in a wta tournament in madrid. you barely had time to check your phone before your coach called you over, but when you saw gavi’s name, you quickly typed back.
you: i thought you had a game?
gavi: i do. but halftime is soon. i’ll find a way.
you shook your head, smiling. of course he would. gavi had a champions league match tonight, yet here he was, making sure he didn’t miss your game.
true to his word, at halftime, when the rest of the team was getting their tactics from hansi, gavi was on his phone, sitting at the very edge of the bench so no one could block his signal.
‘bro, seriously?’ ferran torres raised a brow, watching as gavi adjusted the brightness.
‘shut up,’ gavi muttered, completely focused.
pedri, sitting beside him, leaned over to glance at the screen. ‘what’s the score?’
‘first set just started.’
pedri smirked. ‘you realize you have a game to play, right?’
‘yeah, yeah,’ gavi waved him off, barely paying attention.
this was normal by now. every chance he got, whether it was in a hotel room after a champions league away match, or during team flights, or, apparently, at halftime, he was watching your matches.
because if he couldn’t be there in person, this was the next best thing.
but when he could be there?
gavi would move mountains to make it happen.
which was exactly how he ended up flying straight from a la liga match in barcelona to paris, just to watch you play in the french open.
he landed at the very last minute, wearing a hoodie pulled low over his face as he slid into the stands, next to pedri, who had made the trip as well.
‘you’re insane,’ pedri muttered, watching as gavi exhaled, still catching his breath from sprinting through the airport.
‘does she know you’re here?’
gavi shook his head. ‘not yet.’
he wanted it to be a surprise. and when you finally looked up after winning a crucial point, your eyes scanning the crowd, the second they landed on him, he knew you’d seen him.
your expression flickered between shock and something softer, something that made the entire exhausting trip worth it.
gavi didn’t care that he was running on barely any sleep. didn’t care that hansi was definitely going to have words with him when he got back.
all that mattered was this.
seeing you. supporting you. the same way you always supported him.
when the match ended, when you won, you barely had time to process it before you were running toward him.
pedri sighed. ‘madre mia, she’s coming.’
‘shut up,’ gavi said, already standing.
and then you were in front of him, sweaty, exhausted, but so fucking happy.
‘what the hell are you doing here?’ you demanded, out of breath.
‘watching you win,’ he grinned, his voice filled with pride.
you shook your head, laughing. ‘you’re crazy.’
‘for you? always.’
and then, despite the cameras, despite the entire stadium watching, you threw your arms around him, hugging him so tight it knocked the breath from his lungs.
but he didn’t mind.
because this, this chaotic, impossible, beautiful life you had together, was worth everything.
where’s man going

The overwhelming roar of the crowd in Casablanca’s Mohammed V Stadium was quite deafening, but that made gavis pulse raise even more. His heart raced not because of nerves, but for the fact that he wants to prove himself. Back in the world cup 2022 he scored a goal against costa rica that showed that he wasn’t just another kid from la masia, he was truly a star. However, a few matches later his first world cup dream came to a crash. Round of 16 vs morocco.
As the anthems faded to an end and the refs whistle blew, he jogged into place and let the game get into its usual rhythm, clear chances, passes, tackles and fouls. And there it was. a goal! Perfect goal may i add by lamine yamal. The stadium erupted into cheers as gavi made his way to the corner flag to celebrate with his teammate, not only internationally but from his club that’s always been by his side.
However, this wasn’t just a normal celebration, something pulled his gaze upwards, and that’s when he saw it, her. Throughout the wave of opposing fans, one face stood out to him, a gorgeous girl, hands gripping the railing with her jaw dropped. It was obvious she wasn’t cheering for spain though, her kit and flag proved that inference. Yet her gaze found his, holding it for longer than it should’ve.
Eventually, half time pulled around as gavi made his way to the locker room. But that didn’t stop him from looking for her though. She hadn’t moved from that spot, instead she was stood up, laughing with her friends leaning against that very same railing, but her focus wasn’t on her friends. Her gaze was on the pitch, as if she was looking for something, making gavi wonder if it’s him that she’s looking for.
Pedri, who was standing right next to him, nudged him and said, ‘Focus hermano, she’s way out of your league.’, in a teasing tone, making gavi smirk but no response came out of him. He knew this wasn’t the last time their paths would cross.
The final whistle blew, the score ending in a 2-1 narrow victory to Spain, with players exchanging handshakes and shirts. Even though they had a successful match, that didn’t shift his mind from the mystery girl, his eyes shifting to her every couple of minutes.
After plucking up the courage to approach her, he noticed her still laughing with her friends, her smile lighting him up.
Without giving it a second thought, he jumped over the barrier, passing security and approached her. Some may call him cocky for the confidence but she noticed and found it amusing that he tried to get her attention. Although security refused to let him get any closer, he ushered her to come closer, and she complied, with her friends teasing her.
‘Hola, did you enjoy the match?’, he asked in almost a whisper to avoid attention from others.
She tilted her head, and her lips formed into a smile, laughing to herself and replied with, ‘Even though Spain won? I guess so’ she said in a playful tone, with her soft accent coming out.
They exchanged names however it caught Gavi off guard.
‘Wait you don’t know my name?’ asked Gavi in an almost concerned tone.
‘No, I know your name.. I just wanted to hear you say it.’ she said, her soft smile widening.
‘Gavi’ he said, chuckling, in a quiet voice.
Her friends called her from behind and she glanced back, reluctant to leave. ‘Looks like I have to go..’ she said.
‘Wait.’ Gavi said quickly, removing his shirt, and handed it to her, the faint smell of grass clinging to it. ‘Something to remember this match by.’
She took the shirt, her fingers brushing his for a small second, ‘Gracias, Gavira.’ she said, making his heart race.
There was one thing he knew for certain, he had to see her again.
The next few days in Casablanca was an absolute blur for him, media videos, training sessions and team meeting, but she couldn’t get out of his mind. Her smile, her laugh and how her gaze lasted for longer than even she wanted it to.
That’s when he realised, it wasn’t the match, it was her.
After hours of practice, the team had some downtime before their flight back to Madrid. Gavi found himself roaming the streets with Pedri, just so he didn’t seem like a loner.
‘So you’re really attached to this girl, hermano?’, asked Pedri almost with genuine concern.
Gavi sighed and yet again, didn’t have a reply for that and continued walking.
That’s when he saw her, for the second time, except she was alone in a small cafe.
He hesitated for a moment, Pedri staying outside, as Gavi made his way over.
‘Mind if i join?’ he asked, grabbing a chair from a nearby table.
She looked up, surprised as a smile was spread across her face. ‘Gavi’ she said ‘How come you’re not with your team?’
‘I mean, I was..’ he said, taking a seat opposite her. ‘But I figured i’d explore some more. Seems like I found the right place’
She raised an eyebrow, clearly amused. ‘So you spend your free time chasing random girls that you see during matches?’
He smirked, leaning back into the chair, ‘Only the interesting ones.’
She laughed softly, her fingers absentmindedly tracing the edges of her teacup. ‘Not sure if that’s flattering or too forward’
Gavi’s smile softened, ‘A bit of both, cariño.’
‘Well i’ve seen you play, you’re good. But i’m sure you know that by now.’
He chuckled, ‘I don’t need compliments, but i’ll take them’
She smiled again, ‘So what’s a footballer like you doing in this small cafe in Casablanca?’
He looked out the window for a second, and then back at her, ‘I guess i’m looking for things that matter besides football’
Her gaze softened, ‘And have you found that yet?’
‘I’m getting closer.’ he paused, ‘Listen, I don’t know how long i’m gonna be here, but I want to see you again’
Unsure of how to really respond to that, she said ‘Maybe. If you’re lucky.’ in a mysterious tone.
And that’s when he knew he wouldn’t be leaving this city any time soon.
Due to the weather in Spain, their trip extended a few more days, but she didn’t need to know that.
On the last night of their stay, Gavi slipped away from the hotel and didn’t tell anyone, not even Pedri that he was going back to that very same cafe.
The night air was cooler than he expected but the night life still stayed active.
It wasn’t that long until he saw the cafe again, although it was late, it was still open and a few people were still in there.
He hesitated for a moment before entering again and the owner looked up at him and said,
‘Gavi, right? You’re here for someone I figured, and if so you’re in the right place, habibi.’
Gavi, uncertain by her words, followed her over to the table, where he saw here for the third time.
He sat opposite her, letting his eyes linger on her for a second before she broke the silence.
‘Gavi, I thought you wouldn’t turn up.’, she said, following with the familiar smile that Gavi loved.
‘I couldn’t stay away.’ he replied
And to that she chuckled and said, ‘You’re a lot more complicated than i thought Pablo.’
He grinned, trying to hide his emotions, leaning back into his chair, ‘I’ve been told.’
She stood up and said, ‘Listen Gavi, it’s getting late, I need to get going, and you should too.’
‘Wait,’ Gavi said ‘Can you please see me play again.’, he asked in an almost pleading tone.
She looked back, with an unreadable expression and said, ‘And you think i’ll say yes?’
‘I was hoping that you’ll surprise me.’
‘Maybe.’
And with that, she left.
A few weeks passed by, and the memory of you lingered in his brain. He hadn’t seen her since that night in the cafe, but your time together was the only thing on his mind.
Now he was in the Montjuïc, at a home game for laliga, as the stadium was packed with culers from all over the world as usual. But this match felt different.
As the game kicked off, Gavi instantly fell into the usual match rhythm yet his thought remained on her.
There was a small pause in play, as he re adjusted his socks, someone caught his eye. It was her.
There she was, in the VIP section, her barca scarf tucked around her shoulders.
He froze for a second, his heart hammering in his chest. She was no longer a memory, she was there in real time. Eventually, he snapped back into focus.
The scoreline was 1-1 and he knew that he needed to be the change that he wanted to see, so he took a risk and shot it in the direction of the net, bracing himself for the result. And there it was, a goal to put barca in the lead.
Pablo sprinted to the corner to celebrate and he looked up to see her in the stands with her hands over her mouth in shock. Then she smiled, her face full of pride. He noticed that, and made a small gesture, pointing towards her.
After the match was over, he saw her waiting with security by the players exit.
‘You made that goal look easy’ she said, her voice with a teasing tilt.
Before he could answer that, he had a question in his head.
‘You came all this way, why?’ He said, his eyes searching for hers.
‘I wanted to see if you’d keep your promise’
‘And did I?’
‘Yes.’ she replied with a subtle smile.
It had gotten to the point where they finally exchanged numbers, making his heart flutter.
The next laliga match was against sociedad which was quite a big match if you think about it. He had just completed his pre game superstitions until he received a message
‘i heard you’re not as bad as they say, wanna prove it? 😉’
He grinned, feeling a rush of excitement.
‘i thought i already did that’ he typed back.
‘okay, meet me at the cafe tomorrow.’
He arrived at the cafe as soon as the match was over and he was lost in thought. What were they? He knew they weren’t a fling but he didn’t know what to label it.
‘You’re early’ she said as she walked in.
‘Came as soon as the match ended’ he replied.
‘Okay Pablo, i’m gonna start off with why i asked you to come here. You’re the first guy who’s come into my life with a smile and a promise. But i’m not interested in that.’ she started.
He leaned in, ‘What’re you interested in then.’
‘Something real.’
‘So am I, and i’m not going anywhere.’
‘So prove it.’
And with those three words, the barrier between them was broken.
They went for a walk on the quiet streets of Barcelona, the night air brushing their faces. Neither of them spoke but the silence was enough for the both of them.
He turned to face her, ‘Listen. I don’t want you to go, just stay.’
She looked back at him and said, ‘Gavi.’
He didn’t let her continue because he felt like he already knew the answer to that and closed the gap between them.
Eventually, she found her way into extending her stay and renting an apartment in Barcelona to stay wiyh Gavi
Months past until they decided to make it official to the public, they both figured it out, the fame and distance.
One evening, they both sat on the balcony until he turned to face her.
‘So this is what i’ve been looking for. I’ve finally found what matters besides football.’ Gavi said.
She smiled back at him, realising that this is all she wanted too.

summary: jimena sees her ex at a party. she does not shy away from the reunion.
taglist: @htpssgavi ; @joaosnovia
masterlist // I do not take requests
Jimena did not leave her home with the idea of ending up tangled on Gavi's sheets. She did not even think of meeting him when she met her friends at the only club in her small town. It was just some local festivity, and all the young people had had the same idea.
Jimena wanted to get drunk, find a nice guy to make out with and disappear into the night with her friends. But rumours spread fast, and soon she caught wind of who was also at the club.
Gavi wasn't known for going to parties, Jimena wa pretty sure that the last time he had stepped on this same club had been by her side, when they were still dating and his debut in first division was still a dream.
Jimena had reached a point in which she did not think of him for longer than she needed to. Only when the World Cup happened, she saw his face evrywhere she went. And she knew everyone around her saw him too. Jimean felt the glances everyone directed at her whenever something newsworthy happened.
Gavi socred a goal for Spain? The guys at the bar noticed if she celebrated or not. There were rumours that prnicess Leonor had a crush on him? Some lady at the supermarket asked her what it was like to have had what the royalty wanted. Even when he got injured, some tried to ask her if he was alright.
Gavi and Jimena had broken up before he even made it to the first team. She wanted to be someone's first choice, and his first choice would always be Barcelona, or the countless hot girls he had been rumoured to be dating.
As insidious as it was, Jimena was glad that the general public considered some random tiktoker to be Gavi's first love: if it was already annoying to be known as his ex only in their small town, she could not concieve how much bullshit she woud have to go through if the rest of the world knew.
However, Jimena was completely over Gavi. She had cried all the tears she had to, she had buried their pictures in a box and kissed half a dozen of other boys as a rebound. Her eyes should not linger on his silouhette when she finally spotted him, the lights of the club reflecting on his clothes. Her heart should not beat when she found his gaze already on her.
Jimena turned around, searching for Nacho. He was a guy she had been stringing around for a while, who she had no intention to actually date, but who would be perfect for her half threader plan.
Nacho was not too far away. He always made a point of being close to Jimena, and when her very famous ex was around, it was not the time to slack off.
Nacho's hand fell on her hip, covered by a shirt purple dress. The Jimena Gavi knew would not have worn something so daring, but the Gavi Jimena knew would not have shown up at the club on his own volition.
Nacho pressed their bodies together, swaying at the rhythm of the baf quality song that was on the TOP50, while his eyes lifted up.
"Your ex is staring," he said. Jimena sighed. She didn't need to look up to know, she could feel the weight of Gavi's eyes on her skin.
"I imagine he is," she said, non-committal.
"I can't believe I am going to sleep with Gavi's ex," he said. Jimena froze in place. That sentence did not sit well with her.
"Excuse me?"
"It's like, the biggest power trip of my life."
Jimena took a step froward trying to get rid of Nacho's hands on her body.
"Actually, I don't think this is a good idea..."
"Aw, c'mon! You're going to leave me like this?"
"I don't want to..." insisted Jimena, taking another step away and clashing with someone.
"I would advice you to leave the girl alone."
Gavi.
His voice was lower, his hand came up to hold her hip. Jimena stopped breathing. How was it possible that he had slipped through the crowd so quickly?
She then noticed that most people around them had stopped dancing. She spotted a couple of phone camera pointed towards them. She shivered, her skin crawling with discomfort.
"Ha. You don't want me to make a scene, do you?" bluffed Nacho. "They wouldn't like that back in you separatist club."
Gavi clenched his jaw, his grip on Jimena tightening.
"Let's go, he said softly on her ear."
Jimena shivered, but allowed herself to be led by Gavi away from the crowd, away from the phones pointing at them. She tried to spot her friends, but she couldn't understand the colored lights, and soon they were back on the open air.
"What the fuck was that?" she asked him.
"You tell me that," Gavi snapped.
"Since when do you go to clubs?"
"Since I'm searching for you?"
"Why would you do that?"
"Because you still have me blocked on everything and I wanted to talk to you?"
"Why would you—?"
Gavi cut their argument short by grabbing her face and pressing their lips together. Jimena froze for a minute, but then she returned the kiss with the intensity they both craved.
"I wanted to get you back," he explained once they parted. "I... have matured a but since the last time we were together and well, I realised I made quite a big mistake by letting you go."
Jimena scoffed.
"Oh, my God," she said. "I'm going to punch you in your pretty face so hard you won't be able to play for weeks."
He smirked.
"If I can spend those weeks with you, I'll call it a win."
Jimena bit her lip, but spotted that people were leaving the club, searching for Gavi, for them.
"I would love to do that in a place where people are not recording us," she offered, and Gavi laughed, pulling her towards the parking.
"I'll see what I can do."

trent was always the first to wake up. it didn’t matter if it was a matchday, an off day, or the rare chance to sleep in, his body was wired to rise with the sun. most mornings, he would slip out of bed quietly, careful not to wake you, and head downstairs to start his routine. but today, he stayed.
he turned onto his side, pressing his face into the crook of your neck, breathing you in. his arm draped over your waist, fingers brushing against the warm skin of your stomach where your shirt had ridden up. outside, the faint sounds of liverpool waking up drifted through the window, but inside, everything was still.
‘why’re you so close,’ you huffed out a laugh, barely opening your eyes as you reached back, fingers carding through his curls. ‘we’ve been together for years, trent. thought the novelty would’ve worn off by now.’
‘never.’ his voice was low, a little rough, and you shivered when he pressed a lazy kiss just beneath your jaw.
it would have been easy to stay in bed all day, wrapped up in the warmth of each other, but trent had training. you knew the exact moment he realized it too, his sigh was deep, reluctant, his grip tightening like he could somehow hold onto time if he held onto you tight enough.
‘you don’t have to go,’ you said, knowing he absolutely did.
‘don’t tempt me,’ he groaned, rolling onto his back and rubbing a hand over his face. ‘slott would kill me.’
‘probably,’ you admitted, stretching your legs before sitting up. ‘but imagine the headlines. “trent alexander-arnold skips training for a lie-in with partner.”’
‘bit long for a headline, that.’
‘fine. “trent’s in love.”’
his eyes softened as he looked at you, the corners of his lips tugging into a small smile. ‘always.’
you never got tired of watching him play.
there was something about the way he moved, the way he saw the game differently from everyone else. the way he took risks that no one else would, because he knew he could make them work.
tonight was a big game. liverpool vs. man city. the kind of fixture that made your stomach twist with nerves, even though you weren’t the one stepping onto the pitch.
you sat in the stands, surrounded by familiar faces, players’ families, friends, all of you bound together by the same tension. trent had looked good in warm-ups, sharp and focused, but you knew him well enough to sense the pressure sitting on his shoulders.
when the match started, city came out strong, pressing high, forcing liverpool deep. trent was everywhere, tracking back, winning duels, threading passes between the lines. then, in the 32nd minute, it happened.
the ball broke loose in midfield. trent took a touch, lifted his head, and saw the opening before anyone else did. a perfect switch across the pitch, straight to salah’s feet. in a flash, salah was inside the box, cutting onto his left foot and curling it past the keeper.
anfield erupted.
trent didn’t celebrate much. he never did unless it was something special. but his eyes found you in the stands, and when you blew him a kiss, he gave you a small, almost imperceptible nod.
the game wore on. city equalized, then took the lead, but liverpool kept fighting. in the 85th minute, a free kick was awarded just outside the box.
your heart pounded as trent stepped up.
he took a breath, then struck the ball cleanly. it curled over the wall, dipped at the last second, and nestled into the bottom corner.
he turned on his heel, arms outstretched, letting the roar of anfield wash over him.
and then, without thinking, he ran straight to you.
he didn’t even hesitate, just climbed over the barriers and reached for you, his hands on either side of your face as he kissed you, hard, ignoring the cameras and the cheers and everything else.
when he pulled away, breathless, he grinned. ‘told you i’d make the headline.’
