~~

The story begins when they were five. Y/n lived with their single father right next to Pedri. They started playing futbol outside together, and the rest was history. They grew together from going to school together, to trying for the second squad for Barcelona. They did it together.Around the time they started secondary school, they decided to try being a couple. It was in secret, of course. Y/n's father was overbearing to put it lightly. This was the only way they could even pursue anything: in private. Plus, Y/n's father had no control over them in school. It was their safe haven.Y/n and Pedri were the staple couple until Pedri started moving up in the second Barcelona team, and he had to switch to online school. Y/n was heartbroken, but they tried to maintain their relationship.One day, Y/n walked over to Pedri's house, and they were inside his house for too long apparently, causing their father to come in wreaking havoc. Y/n's father went on a rampage, shouting and degrading them, calling them names, even going as far as to say that their relationship was the reason Y/n was not progressing as quickly as Pedri in the second team.The next thing he did was drastic. After dragging Y/n back to their house and locking them in their room, he packed up their lives and moved them in the dead of night. Y/n's father changed their names and moved them away from Pedri. Not a sound or trace could be connected to them.Years later, Y/n made it into the big leagues. Real Madrid was the second team they moved to after relocating, and they eventually moved Y/n up to their first team. Y/n never mentions that they played for the Barcelona team simply because their father forbade them from talking about their life before. Y/n tried to see how Pedri was doing nowadays, but their father was constantly breathing down their neck. Y/n wished they could have done anything more to stay with Pedri since they never lost their love for him.One day, Y/n  was sitting with their teammates as normal before practice when Carlo, their head coach, pulled Y/n aside."You requested a trade?" Carlo asked as soon as they stepped foot into his office."I did. I feel like I deserve more play time, and if another team is willing to give it, I want to transfer," Y/n explained calmly after taking a seat in front of him. They had practiced this hundreds of times. This was the first stage of their plan to get away from their father. "I agreed to come to Real Madrid despite not being from Madrid because you told me I'd get play time. I'm tired of being a benchwarmer. I have stats to prove that I can play with every other player. I just want the chance to show it.""We don't have the space for you on the field unless someone retires or gets injured," Carlo sighed, knowing what was coming."Then I want the freedom to be transferred to another team. I want to be allowed to look for other options. My contract says I will start in at least 10 matches in my first year, and we're coming to the end of the season. I have started in 2," Y/n argued. They knew this was an impossible feat for Real Madrid to fill, so they could also receive a bonus for this. "If I'm not being utilized here, I want the ability to go elsewhere.""Fine," Carlo sighed, pulling up a document that was already signed. This was a standard contract that outlined that if the player could not find a new team, they would be resigned for two years on a decreased pay. "Here's an agreement form that allows you to look for outside options, and if you can't find one-""I already did," Y/n cut him off, leaving him shocked. Y/n had heard from fellow teammates who tried to leave, and they all said to look around first and not sign anything until it's been confirmed with another team. Thankfully, your new team was willing to take you in as soon as possible."You started looking before it was approved?""I had to see if there would be interest for me elsewhere, and it turns out, Barcelona is looking for a midfielder," Y/n explained with a small smile. "I've enjoyed my time with Real Madrid, but the contract I've made with Xavi has me starting at the next game. I wish you and the team luck going forward." There was nothing left to be said as Y/n stood up, shook Carlo's hand and left the facility after saying goodbye to their teammates. They knew the plan. Their father thought practice ran late that day, so while he was at work, they packed up only the most essential stuff and left. They blocked his number, threw out the phone he gave them, and got on the first bus to Barcelona.Y/n had been working with Xavi for weeks on this. There was already an apartment and phone ready for when Y/n got there, all in their name. There was nothing connecting them to their father anymore. Y/n was finally free.The next day was their first practice, and while Y/n did not get much sleep the night before, they still showed up bright and early. And when they laid eyes on Pedri, it was like all of the pieces fell into place. The two started hanging out during practice and after matches, on days there was no training. Basically, any free time was spent together again. Despite everything in Y/n telling them they were safe to be with Pedri again, they always hesitated."He's gonna find me," Y/n confessed one day while they were cuddling with Pedri and watching a movie. "I just know it, and I'm gonna lose you again.""You're never gonna lose me," He whispered back as he lifted their head to meet his eyes. He placed kisses around their face as he made his next points, "Not tonight. Not tomorrow. Not next week. Not next month. Not now. Not ever." He pulled back again before ghosting his lips over theirs, "Now that I have you again, I'm not letting you go.""But what if he-""I don't care what he tries," Pedri interrupted, sitting up straighter to show his seriousness. "I do not care if this guy threatens my life. I am not letting him take you away from me. We'll keep running if we have to or we'll move in together somewhere he can't get to. I promise to protect you from him through thick and thin. Tell me what I can say to make you believe me.""You've said enough," Y/n mumbled as they leaned in for another kiss. It conveyed every emotion, every feeling, every thought unsaid. It was the restart of something Y/n thought they lost and Pedri prayed for.A second chance. A second chance to prove he was meant for them, and he would spend every waking moment showing Y/n everything they're worth.
