𝐑𝐎𝐒𝐈𝐄, gavi

seventeen

The match had ended with a 2-0 win for Barca. I was very happy for them, considering I missed most of the first half. 

Ronnie had left but we exchanged phone numbers and promised to start talking more.

I waited patiently for Gavi to come back so we could go back to his place.

I sent a quick message on the groupchat congratulating them on their win.

Hector is 17

I looked up from my phone to see Gavi walking over.

"Hola." He said. "Jump over the barricade."

"What?" I say dumbfounded. "No way."

"It's ok, I'll help." He says, holding out his hands.

I shake my head in disbelief before placing one hand on the barricade. I swing my leg up so it goes over the other side. "Oh my God. I can't believe you're making me do this. In front of people as well."

"It's ok, mi flor." His hand went to my leg and the other gripped onto my hand. "Most people are gone now. Right swing your other leg over." I did that and I was now sitting on the barricade facing Gavi.

He stepped back slightly, still holding onto my hand. "Jump down now."

I jumped down from the barricade and stood next to him. "That was so easy." I say, brushing off the fact I was struggling.

"Sure it was." Gavi said. He hadn't let go of my hand yet and I was wondering if he had realised. "Alright come on, let me take you home now."

I hummed in acknowledgment, my hand still in his.
