Work Text:
They were at an away game and had single rooms this time. Neither Gavi, nor Pedri were happy about it. Especially Gavi. He couldn't stand being away from Pedri, especially when it was easily possible for him to be with him. He tried to fall asleep, so he would stop thinking about his boyfriend in a room alone a couple doors away (there wasn't even someone who could see them), but it didn't work. He kept tossing and turning (if he was really honest with himself he could have tried harder). But he just missed Pedri and he wanted to be with him. His heart ached for him.
And Gavi wouldn't be Gavi if he didn't just follow his heart without thinking. So he just got up like he was, in shorts and a T-shirt, peeked outside his room once (it was all clear) and let the door fall shut behind him.
He tried to make as little noice as possible, while he sneaked to Pedri's room. It worked fairly well with the soft carpet underneath his naked feet. His heart was racing the whole time. He wasn't supposed to be out of bed and if any of the staff members were to accidentally walk by, he would be screwed, because against popular belief, Gavi was actually not too keen on breaking rules. Thankfully, he arrived at Pedri's door without anyone coming his way, and before someone could decide to check, he quickly knocked.
Pedri was pretty surprised when he heard a knock at his door in his otherwise quiet hotel room. The curfew was 30 minutes ago, so everyone (besides him) was probably already asleep. He wasn't sure why he couldn't fall asleep. Yeah, normally he always slept with Gavi in hotel rooms, but he didn't have a problem sleeping alone at his place either (not that it happened very often these days, Gavi should move in with him already). He shoved that thought away for later and got out of bed. He was immediately freezing, due to being just in a T-shirt and shorts. It really was freezing, although Gavi probably wouldn't think so, he was always warm. Pedri missed him and his warmth.
He concentrated on the person in front of the door. Who could it be? A staff member? Where they going to check if he was in bed? Surely not, that'd be ridiculous, they weren't little kids. Shouldn't he not answer then?
Before Pedri could think about it further, he just opened the door. To his surprise he found the person he had been previously thinking about in front of him.
Relief and happiness flooded his body, as soon as his eyes landed on his boyfriend. He looked pretty. All messy hair and sleepy eyes. His T-shirt was crumbled and a little too big for him, making him look adorable (although Pedri probably looked the exact same).
But then he remembered, they weren't supposed to be in the same room. They should be asleep in their separate rooms, and if they'd get caught, they both wouldn't play tomorrow.
"Hey, cariño. What are you doing here?" He tried to not sound mad or anything close to that, because he was truly happy to see him, but he knew Gavi would be angry if they'd get benched, and he himself wouldn't be happy either.
"Can I sleep here?" Gavi asked knowing exactly what he was doing to Pedri. How on earth was he supposed to say no, when he had those big puppy eyes and that soft voice.
"You shouldn't... What if we get caught?" Pedri tried, but he knew he wouldn't hold up long against his boyfriends wishes.
"We won't get caught." Gavi said. "I'll sneak out in the morning. And no one is going to check if I'm in my bed or not. Everyone is asleep."
Pedri debated for a second. He really did want Gavi to sleep with him. Gavi was right. What were the risks that they'd get caught?
"Fine. Come in, but if we get caught, I'm blaming you."
Gavi grinned and threw himself into Pedri's arms. "I love you, thank you."
"I love you too, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to convince me." He nuzzled into Gavi's neck and held onto him. He was so warm and soft and he smelled so good. Pedri didn't even hear the door close behind them once Gavi maneuvered them into the room. He had his eyes closed and let Gavi hold him up.
"Let's go to bed." Gavi whispered, his lips brushing against Pedri's temple, making shivers run down his body.
Pedri nodded before he pressed a short kiss to Gavi's lips and led them to his bed.
"You could have brought your pillow and blanket." Pedri mumbled with a glance to his bed.
"You make a wonderful pillow." Gavi hadn't even thought about that if he was honest. He hadn't even been completely sure Pedri would let him stay. But now he definitely wasn't going back. And he did love using Pedri as a pillow.
"Only if you'll be my second blanket." Pedri grumbled.
Gavi immediately nodded. He never understood how Pedri was always cold. Gavi was always sweating. But together they made an excellent duo, Gavi cooling Pedri down and Pedri melting against Gavi.
They snuggled into bed together, curled up around each other with their limps tangled and Gavi's head on Pedri's shoulder. The blanket was thrown over both of them keeping them not only warm, but also creating a false image of safety.
"I missed you too, you know." Pedri mumbled, already half asleep.
"I know." Gavi whispered sleepily, he was close to the dream land too. Pedri always had that effect on him, making him relax in every situation and keeping him safe. It also helped that it was very cozy, with Pedri's scent surrounding him and his heart singing a happy tune, due to being with its favorite person. Pedri's arms were holding him tight against his chest, resting his arms around his waist, just like Gavi was pulling Pedri closer to himself, with his arms slung around Pedri's back (the muscles and the security felt so good under his hands). Gavi had caged one of Pedri's legs between his and Pedri's cold feet were resting on his ankles (Gavi wasn't fond of the cold, but he was very fond of the fact, that he was the one that was warming Pedri up, he loved making his boy happy). Before he knew it Gavi was asleep and had rarely felt more content in his life (only sleep after amazing sex with Pedri was better).
Pedri immediately felt warmer and also calmer. Something in his chest finally settled down with Gavi back with him. For a little while he tried to enjoy the comfort and cuddle with his boyfriend, stroking Gavi's hair slightly, which made the younger hummed happily in his sleep and Pedri smile. Gavi was adorable and the greatest person ever, sometimes he wondered what he had done to deserve him. Soon enough though, he was also asleep, lulled in by the warmth and the comfort of his person.
~~~~~~
Pedri was woken by a wet patch on his shoulder. Irritated and still sleepy he needed a moment to realize it was Gavi drooling on him. For some lovesick reason he thought it was cute instead of disgusting and just wiped Gavi's mouth with his thump before checking the clock and deciding an hour was enough time to go back to sleep again.
~~~
The next time Pedri woke up Gavi was staring at him with that look in his eyes were it looked like he was the center of the room. Pedri loved it. He had never been possessive or thrown jealousy fits, but that look made him addictive, made him want to have Gavi's attention all the time. Gavi should always look at him when he was in a room. And it made Pedri's breath hitch. How could one single person hold his live in his hands like that?
Time seemed to stand still while they grinned at each other. After a while Pedri quietly said "So much too I'm gone in the morning..." But he was happy and there was no real heat behind it. If he would have woken up without Gavi, he would have felt uneasy the whole time.
"Well, it's your fault. I think you bewitched me, I literally couldn't look away."
Pedri rolled his eyes at him, by now used to Gavi's little compliments. "You didn't try, cariño."
Gavi huffed. "How did you know?"
After a little more cuddling they finally dragged themselves out of bed. "I guess I'll sneak back to my room." Gavi said, kissing Pedri on the lips.
It was the same process of yesterday night, peaking outside, and sneaking along the hallway, this time with a lot more people awake (he could hear them talk around the corner). Finally, he stood in front of his door, just to realize, he left his key card in there yesterday, too eager to get to Pedri. Lightly cursing under his breath he thought for a moment, before deciding his only option was to go back to Pedri's.
Predictabley, Pedri scolded him once he was back in Pedri's room, but gave him clothes. He also agreed to go with Gavi to Flick to explain that he locked himself out of his room, since Gavi wasn't keen on getting scolded and decided Pedri was the best emotional support (he waited to ask this question until he was dressed in Pedri's cloth, because for himself he knew he liked to see Pedri in his clothes, it had to work the other way around too).
That's how he found himself in front of his coach, trembling the slightest bit after telling a made up story in his broken English.
Flick stared him down as if he didn't believe a word. Gavi refused to be afraid, though his hand did twitch for a well known cold one close to his (he didn't clasp it though).
"And why are you wearing Pedri's cloth?" Flick gave him a cold stare, that made Gavi averte his eyes. He shifted from one foot to the other carefully avoiding Flicks glare. "You're telling me you didn't forget your key card, because you snuck to Pedri to sleep with him?"
Hesitantly, Gavi nodded and gave him his best puppy eyes. Flick rolled his eyes. "You know, I have been warned about you two, you are insufferable. I'll go get the other key card." With a huff and a fond smile he was gone.
Gavi shot Pedri a smug grin. "See, I told you we would be fine."
"Yeah, you also said no one would notice." Gavi stuck his tongue out at Pedri whereupon Pedri put him in a headlock, pulling him close to his chest and kissing his hair. "You're ridiculous."
"You love it." Gavi replied.
"I do." Pedri whispered with a fond smile, before grabbing Gavi's hand and dragging him to breakfast.
