Pablo Gavi Oneshots ⚽️🤍

9. Injury

It should have been a completely normal match between Barcelona and Juventus, a trainings match at the beginning of the season. Pablo was playing since he couldn't play in the first match because one of the muscles in his right thigh was slightly torn and he had to rest, to not make it any worse.

Xavi wasn't sure if Pablo could play for the full 90 minutes, but he wanted to let him play just to get him on the grass for some time.

Pablo's girlfriend Y/N was also attending the match, wanting to support her boyfriend since it was the first time he got to play after the summer pause.

For the first half, everything went normal Barcelona had a few good chances but sadly couldn't score a goal. Gavi was always in the middle of everything, having his foot on the ball somehow.

Y/N was sitting in the family section with Pablo's dad, both wearing barça shirts with Pablo's name on them, cheering on their boy.

After the halftime break, Barcelona came back way more offensive, pushing to the goal way more and being way more aggressive with their opponents. Pablo was still playing in the second half, which lead to Y/N thinking that his thigh must feel good again if he can play the full 90 minutes.

Suddenly everything went so fast, one second Pablo was running behind a Juventus player trying to get the ball, and the other second he is laying on the grass screaming in pain, holding his thigh.

Y/N's face went pale looking worried at Pablo's dad who was staring at the pitch, where the medicals just arrived by Gavi. Seeing him laying on his back showing the medics what hurts him, with a pale face and tears in his eyes worries Y/N immensely.

Pablo isn't the type of person who likes to show how vulnerable he is in front of people, so him showing his emotions so openly can only mean he is in really much pain, which makes Y/N and his dad worry even more.

Pablo was being carried out on a stretcher by the medics, he had a hand over his face but Y/N could clearly see that he was sobbing in pain, by the unregular rising of his chest. After he was in the tunnel, Y/N looked at the player box looking if there was someone who could tell her what was going on.

Pedri who was still injured saw her searching for someone to tell her what happened, so he limped up to her and Pablo's dad.

"Hola todos", he hugged Y/N and she immediately started asking him what was going on with her boy.

"The medics told Xavi that the muscle in his right thigh doesn't look good, and they are bringing him to the hospital to scan it, they are assuming it's torn"

"Oh god ... something like that is going to put him out for at least half of the season. Where is he now ... we need to go to him, he's gonna be scared as fuck when he is all alone". Y/N looked at Pablo's dad who nodded and followed Pedri down to Xavi.

Y/N saw them talking and Xavi looked up at her, then nodded at her with an assuring little smile. She rushed down to them, she greeted Xavi who told them where Gavi was: He then had to go because one of his co-trainers needed him for something.

Pedri couldn't go with them because he had to be there with his team, even if one of his best friends is seriously injured. Y/N promised to text him as soon as she knows anything. Hugging him goodbye she and Pablo's dad left to search for the room of the medics.

Gently knocking on the door Y/N opened it revealing a pale and tired-looking Gavi, who laid on a small bed covered in a blanket. His bare thigh was looking out of the blanket, it was fixated with a cooling pad laying on top of it.

Gasping Y/N rushed to his side, "Jesus Christ ... what did they do to my poor Pablito?", she sat on the chair beside the bed gently taking his hand. Pablo was so full of pain medications he barely registered her and his dad, who stood in the doorway giving the young couple some space.

"My leg hurts so much ... they said it could be a torn muscle" he tried to sit up a little bit but gave up shortly, as soon as he moved his thigh started to hurt like hell, even with the pain meds.

A few seconds later one of the medics came in ad told them that the ambulance is there but that only one could drive with them to the hospital.

Señor Gavira told Y/N she should go, and that he would drive to the hospital with Pablo's mum afterward.

The drive to the hospital was filled with Y/N assuring and comforting a scared and hurt Pablo who was not sure what was happening right now.

At the hospital their worst fear was confirmed, Pablo's muscle was completely torn, and they had to definitely stitch the muscle up to prevent it from growing together the wrong way, which meant having surgery. Something Pablo feared the most, he wasn't going to be able to play or even walk for a very long time.

The surgery was scheduled for an hour later, which left Pablo an hour to worry about anything that came to his mind and Y/N who sat beside him the whole time assured him that everything is going to be alright while she played with his hair to calm him down.

The doctors then came in to prep him for his surgery, panic filled his eyes, and he looked at Y/n for assurance while gripping her hand tighter.

"Everything is going to be fine amor ... they are going to stitch you together and when you're waking up again I will be by your side like I always am." comforting him she let go of his hand and took a seat in his room, starting to text everyone what's going on.

The surgery went well, everything looks good and the doctors are positive about his recovery, he still has to wake up which according to the doctors could be any minute.

Which leads them to now.

Y/N and his parents sit together beside his bed, Y/N is holding Pablo's hand softly caressing his knuckles with her thumb.

"He looks so peaceful." Pablo's mum exclaims, stroking her son's face.

"Sí, he even has a little smile on his face" Chuckling Y/N adds.

As they talk about Pablo and Y/N's plan for their anniversary that's coming up Pablo starts to stir, opening his eyes and hissing at the bright hospital lights.

"Morning hijo, slept well?" Pablo's dad asks with a smirk on his face, relieved that his son is ok.

Chuckling Pablo tries to sit up but Y/N stops him, "No amor careful let me just raise the bed a bit" Taking the remote Y/N raises the bed so he is a little bit more upright.

With a groggy voice, Pablo asks " How'd everything go ?" Looking at everyone in the room, he lifts his blanket to see his fixated thigh, tapes of all colors wrapped around it and some sort of splint was caging it.

Taking his hand again Y/N starts to explain, "Everything went well they stitched your muscle up, you will have to go on crutches for the next three weeks and after that, we see how we move on from there, if we can start with physio sessions or if you should keep the crutches a little bit longer."

Nodding Pablo listens to Y/N intently. His parents left after some time and Y/N stayed with him for the first night. He has to stay in the hospital for four more days for observation but then he can go home.

Many people visited him in the hospital including Xavi and most of the Barça squad, wishing him to get well soon and informing him about all the gossip they heard in training.

As it was time to head home, Y/N picked him up from the hospital driving him home where she already set the house for him, because he can't go up any stairs Y/N transformed his couch into his new bed, throwing a thousand pillows and blankets on it, so he would be comfortable. Putting all his belongings on the lower shelves so he can reach them easily.

Pablo is unbelievably grateful to have Y/N by his side, she stays with him not leaving him alone in his misery helping him where she can, and comforting him every time he feels down again. She changes his gauze and tapes, helps him shower cooks his favorite meals, and does everything he asks for to help him recover. He just knows that with her by his side he is going to recover in no time.
