It was the week of the Ballon d'Or price giving and every year with the infamous Ballon d'Or award the Golden Boy award is given out, the most important award for every young football star who wants to have a promising career in football.

Y/N's boyfriend Pablo Gavi was nominated for the award this year and Y/N couldn't be more proud of him. But for the last few days, Pablo has been acting strange. He couldn't sit still, playing with his fingers all the time or bouncing his leg up and down. His teammates and close friends told Y/N that he seems lost in thought while training and gets frustrated easily with anything.

The young girl started to worry about her boyfriend, he wasn't much of a talker but him not talking at all to her was something unusual and worrying.

So when Pablo came home that day after training and immediately went up to their bedroom, without saying a word. Y/N decided she was going to confront him about his behavior the last few days.

As she went up to their bedroom and saw Gavi lying in bed with his hands covering his face Y/N grew even more concerned. Quietly entering the room in sitting beside him, she starts to stroke his head. "Amor, what's up with you?" Y/N asks in a soft tone, not to startle the poor boy.

Pablo uncovers his eyes and looks at her with a monotone expression. "Nothing amor ... I'm just tired, that's all". He didn't want her to know how nervous this whole Golden Boy award thing makes him. He wanted her to believe that he is strong and things like this don't get to him.Y/N frowned at his statement, not believing it one bit. "You sure ... you know you can tell me anything. Whatever it is I won't judge you, I love you and I can't stand you looking so anxious."

This makes Pablo's walls crumble down and he cuddles himself deep into Y/N, " I don't know ... it's just that this whole award thing makes me so nervous. Like what if I win, then I have to go up there and everybody will look at me? What if I forget what I want to say or they ask me to say something in English, you know I can't speak it that well. And what if everyone thinks I don't deserve the award ...". Y/N interrupts his rambling "Hey hey ... look at me" he lifts his head and looks her in the eyes. "You deserve this award as much as everybody who is nominated, you are an outstanding footballer and an unbelievably lovable person. You can make anybody feel better with your hugs and your teammates love you. Your passion for the sport is so obvious and watching you play and win most of the time is magical. I'm proud to know you and to have you as my boyfriend Pablo Martín Páez Gavira.

Sniffling Pablo wipes his face with the sleeve of his hoodie and gives Y/N a passionate and loving kiss. "I'm also proud to have you as my girlfriend Y/N Y/L/N" Smiling down at him Y/N kisses him on his head and cuddles him deeper into her arms.

Pablo now feels way more secure about tomorrow and starts to look forward to the prize-giving.

*The Next day*

"You ready Pablito ?", checking her makeup in the mirror in her hallway Y/N waits for Pablo to grab his jacket so they can leave. "Sí amor is the driver already-  holy shit... bebé you look stunning. Turn around for me.", with a blushing face Y/N turns around to show him the back of her black satin dress. "Look at yourself handsome, who knew you can look even sexier than you already do" With a red face Pablo gives Y/N a passionate kiss and holds the door open like the gentleman he is.

While driving to the venue Pablo can't help but feel nervous again, Y/N senses something is wrong and grabs his hand affectionately to calm him down a little bit. Gavi instantly feels less anxious and gives Y/N a small but loving smile.

Arriving, camera flashes are everywhere and Gavis's name is being shouted from all sides, holding Y/N's hand tightly both of them try to flee as fast as they can from the media outside. Meeting Pedri and Frenkie with their significant others inside, Y/N immediately gets pulled to the side by Mikky who informs her about all the gossip she already heard.

Hearing the speaker inform the guests to take their seats as the ceremony is about to start, Pablo keeps his hand around Y/N's waist the entire time even as he greets important personalities of the football world. Never forgetting to mention his beautiful girlfriend and how happy he makes her.

As it was time to give out the award, Pablo starts to tense up and holds Y/N tighter against her, she tries to assure him by squeezing his hand tighter.

"And the winner of the 'Golden Boy' award 2022 is ..... Pablo Gavi!"

Cheers erupt all over the hall and Pablo can't believe it, he won, he really won! The smile on his face was so big that his cheeks started to hurt. Gazing toward his girlfriend he can see tears shimmering in her eyes and gets a fuzzy feeling in his tummy, to see his girlfriend being proud of him makes his heart burst with joy.

Walking up the stage and receiving his award felt like a blur. He was asked a few questions afterward he thanked his trainers, his family, and his girlfriend for always supporting him, making Y/N finally burst into tears. As he took his place Y/N couldn't help but hug him as hard as she can. Pablo snuggles his head into Y/N's neck feeling overwhelmed with joy right now.

*After the Award Show*

Finally being in the safety of their hotel room again Y/N and Pablo are now making themselves ready for bed, standing in their bathroom brushing their teeth Pablo can't help but stare at Y/N through the mirror, taking in her features, her beautiful lips and the eyes he loves so much and always manages to get lost in.

Shaking him out of his thoughts with splashing water at his face Y/N runs out of the bathroom making Pablo chase her and tackling her on the bed and starting to tickle her without any mercy 

Laughing at each other Y/N and Pablo stare at each other with a loving gaze kissing each other passionately. Snuggling into the covers Pablo tucks Y/N into his chest and watches her doze off into sleep as and can't stop thinking about how lucky he is to have a life like this.
