Chapter 3

" Okay, gather up boys! " Xavi's voice broke through the vast green practice pitch.

The Barca players made their way to their coach forming a semi circle around him, already aware of the announcement.

" This is your new teammate, Pablo Gavi", he gestured towards his son with his hands, already knowing no more introduction was required considering how the boy was already well versed with the club and how strongly the youngster's name had been linked with Barca.

The young boy stood awkwardly, as the older players cheered and welcomed him with pats and hair ruffles, some even going as far as pinching his cheeks (honestly, who could resist) .

Pedri huffed out with annoyance. As the crowd dispersed he went towards the younger and grabbed his arm, pulling him forward untill Pablo bumped against his hard chest. He whispered into his ear,

"Welcome to my world Pablito..."  he walked back while smirking at the boy's dumbfounded expression.

'He thinks he can take my place' Pedri thinks as he runs off to the far corner of the field, 'I'll show him who rules this pitch'

'Well, I'm royally screwed' thought Pablo...

****

As the day progressed, the players were eventually split into two teams for a friendly practice.

"Remember, take it easy, I don't want any unnecessary injuries while training..." Xavi repeated for what felt like the 100th time.

He may be the worst father but as a coach he was truly unmatched, Gavi had eventually realised sometime along the day.

The Catalan wanted nothing more than to prove his talent to his teammates from the first day itself, especially to a certain someone.(ps. It's not his dad)

The game went incredibly in his team's favour as well as possession  for the first fifteen minutes, with him even offering an assist to Lewandowski.

The younger tried to rub off the feeling of being stared into and focus on the game. But who was he kidding, even from his peripheral vision he could see Pedri boring holes into him.

"Stop eye fucking the boy and focus" Ferran hissed into his best friend's ear, voice a mere whisper.

The Canarian glared at the taller boy.

"I'm observing that little fucker's style of play..." he retorted.

"I'm pretty sure you can do that without undressing him in your head" Ferran replied, with a laugh.

Pedro simply flipped his best friend off, running to the centre.

He subsequently decides to return his focus on the game (for real this time)..

Where's that boy again? Oh fuck.. I meant the ball.. Pedri mentally slams his head against a wall.

Lucky for him, he finds both his target at the same place.

He sees Gavi running forward with the ball in possession and for some unexplainable reason the Canarian can perfectly read the youngster's intentions with the ball at his feet.

With the defenders, Araujo and Sergi at the front, everyone would typically expect him to dribble past but Pedro knows just by where the boy's looking that he's about to make a swift U turn or a last minute pass to the back.

And so he did the most logical thing according to him by following the boy right behind him, preventing any more creativity.

Just then, Gavi turned into him and slamed into his chest for the second time that day and fell on top of the older taking the Canarian with him, slamming their bodies on the floor.

Pedro's hand instinctively grabbed the younger's waist, trying to reduce the force of the fall, making the younger fall on top of him. Gavi, like the sweetheart he is , grabbed the back of the older's head with one hand in a attempt to lessen the impact for him, while his other hand was pushed against the ground.

The awkward position of the fall made them immediately break apart and stand to their feet, dusting off their training kits.

Gavi's cheeks were tinted a subtle shade of red, heating up his ears, he was a certified simp for his idol.

Pedro on the other hand let out a frustrated sigh as he ran a hand across his hair.

Everyone ran with worry to the site of the incident except Ferran and Eric who laughed and fist bumped with knowing smiles...
