Spain lost. He's out of the World Cup, and won't get another chance at it for another four years.
Gavi curls up on his bed, scowling at the wall. Those two words echo in his mind, the only thing keeping him awake in the darkness of his hotel room. Tomorrow morning, the Spain National Football Team would be flying out of Qatar and back to Spain. He's supposed to come back to his country with the World Cup in his hands, not like this.
Before he can brood some more, there's a knock at his door.
Gavi freezes, his heart rate increasing. He knows only too well that knocks at this hour usually mean bad news.
A quick glance at the clock tells him it's 4 AM.
He sits up in bed, the covers still wrapped around him. He doesn't want to answer the door. He doesn't want to talk to people. He doesn't even want to think about football right now, and they're certain to want to talk football.
The knock turns into a fist pounding against the door frame, the noise getting louder and louder. Gavi feels like crawling under the covers to shield himself against the noise.
But he's got to open the door. Sooner or later, they're going to break it down.
With another deep breath, Gavi wraps the top sheet around him like a robe and unlocks the door.
"Baby!" You immediately hug him. After you saw Spain's lost today, you immediately catch the next flight to Qatar. You knew how your boyfriend would feel after the loss.
Gavi's eyes widen, and he freezes in surprise. After a few moments of shock, he wraps his arms around your back, burying his head into you and wrapping a leg around you.
"Y/n? What are you..." He trails off as his brain registers that your soft arms are wrapped tightly around him, your face pressed into his neck. His head spins, and he tries to steady his breathing as he leans against you.
"I am so proud of you!" You tried to cheer him up.
Your words hit him like bricks, causing his eyes to brim with tears. The last thing he wants to do is break down in front of you, but he feels a wave of emotions sweep across him.
He buries his face into your shoulder, the bed sheet he's using to cover himself falling down. He closes his eyes, gripping you tighter as he starts to sob.
"It's okay... you was amazing!" Your heart breaks when you see him like that.
Your words soothe him, and he wraps his arms even tighter around you. Your scent is so intoxicating, your embrace so safe and comforting. He finally lets himself fully sob, his tear-filled eyes squinting shut at the dimly-lit room. He leans against you, not bothering to hide his tears anymore, and just breathes.
"I love you... you're my winner!" You was trying not to cry.
"I love you too." He says between sobs. He's still shaking, his knees going weak, and he leans most of his body weight onto you. You're so small, but strong, and your words of comfort bring him a moment of peace in a turbulent sea of emotion.
"You know, I always would be proud of you. No matter what!"
He buries his face into your neck, his heart beating so fast it might leap out of his chest.
A sudden thought strikes him, causing him to raise his head from your neck just a little.
He wipes away his tears with his sleeve while looking at you lovingly. "Why did you come here? I mean...it's really late."
"I wanted to be here for you... I knew how much this could hurt you..."
He relaxes when you says this. He pulls you into him again, wanting to be close to you.
He looks into your eyes and presses his forehead against yours . "Thank you for coming. I don't know what I'd have done if you hadn't."
When you heard that, you immediately kissed him softly.
"I am always here for you!"Gavi feels the world melt away outside this room, and it's just him and you. He kisses you back, gently and soft, like he doesn't want to let you go.
"I love you so much." He says quietly, his voice husky and emotional. "I know I've said it a million times, but...I just do. So much."
