You arrive home, heart racing with a mix of nerves and anticipation. Your friend’s challenge to test Gavi’s feelings by acting completely differently for 24 hours feels daunting, but you’re eager to see his reaction.
Unlocking the door to your shared apartment, you step inside quietly.
Normally, you’d greet Gavi with a warm hug and kiss, but today, you walk straight past him and into the bedroom.
You change into something comfortable and then head to the kitchen, pretending to be absorbed in your phone while deliberately ignoring him.
Gavi, sensing something is off, finally breaks the silence.
“Hey, no hello today?” he asks, appearing behind you.
“Hi,” you respond curtly, not looking up from your phone.
His voice is laced with confusion.
“Is everything okay?” he asks, stepping closer.
You nod briefly, still not meeting his gaze.
“Bad day?” he probes further.
You shake your head, still avoiding his eyes.
“What's going on?” he asks, sounding more concerned.
“I just need some time alone,” you mumble, trying to sound distant.
Gavi’s confusion turns to hurt.
“You’ve never acted like this before. We were fine earlier. Now, you’re shutting me out,” he says, his voice filled with pain.
You shrug and move towards the living room, leaving him behind. Gavi follows, his frustration growing.
“Why aren’t you talking to me?”
“I just need some space,” you reply, trying to keep your tone firm.
“Is it something I did?” he asks, his voice tinged with sadness.
“We were okay this morning. Did something happen?”
“No, just leave me alone,” you insist, feeling a pang of guilt.
Gavi’s eyes reflect hurt and confusion.
“You never act like this. If you need a break, I can respect that, but I need you to talk to me.”
He sits next to you as you lie down, and you turn away from him. His touch, usually comforting, now feels uncertain as he hesitates to reach out.
Finally, he wraps his arms around you, trying to pull you closer, but you push him away.
“Enough,” Gavi says, standing up.
“What’s wrong? Why are you pushing me away?”
“I just want to be alone,” you insist, your voice cracking with guilt.
Gavi’s expression is a mix of frustration and sadness.
“We’re married, Y/N. I thought you knew I loved you. I might not show it perfectly, but I do care deeply. I can’t handle being shut out like this.”

You’re about to respond when you hear his voice crack on the phone downstairs. Curiosity and concern drive you to the stairs. You listen from the top, hearing Gavi’s side of a conversation.
“I need advice on Y/N,” he says, clearly distressed.
“I know I’m not the best at showing love, but I’ve tried. I really do love her, and I don’t want to lose her. I’ve been trying to reach out, but she keeps pushing me away.”
Hearing his pain, tears well up in your eyes. You retreat to the bedroom, feeling a deep sense of regret. Gavi’s love and hurt are undeniable, and you realize the impact of your actions.
You’re still lying in bed when Gavi gently knocks on the door.
“Y/N, are you sleeping?”
“No,” you reply, wiping away your tears. You open the door, trying to compose yourself.
“Did you cry?” Gavi asks, noticing the red in your eyes.
“Did I make you cry?”
You look away, unable to meet his gaze.
“Gavi, I—”
He steps closer, taking your hands in his.
“I know I’m not perfect at showing affection, but I really do love you. I’m sorry for not being more expressive. I need you to understand that I care deeply. Please don’t shut me out.”
Hearing his heartfelt confession, you feel your heart soften.
“I love you, Gavi,” you admit, your voice trembling.
Gavi’s eyes widen in surprise. “You do?”
“Yes,” you say, stepping forward and standing on your tiptoes. You gently press your lips to his. After a moment, he kisses you back, pulling you into a warm embrace.
“I didn’t want to ignore you,” you whisper, “I was challenged, and I got carried away. But I really do love you.”
Gavi’s smile is radiant.
“I’m glad you said that. It made me realize how much I’ve been failing to show you my love. I love you, Y/N. I’m sorry.”
“I love you more,” you respond, snuggling closer to him.
Gavi wraps his arms around you, resting his chin on your shoulder.
Together, you find solace in each other’s embrace, knowing that despite the challenges, your love is real and strong.
