pairing: Pedri Gonzalez x Y/N
summary: you were childhood best friends with Fermin which resulted in meeting Pedri since they got close, you couldnât deny he was dreamy but he had a bad reputation so you try your best to steer clear of him but can you succeed?
You left uni after your horrible professor finally decided 4 hours were enough for boring you to death. It was nearing 8 pm when you could finally escape. You wondered how you managed to sit for 8 hours straight in high school when you couldnât even handle a 2 hour class of historical design now. But then again, Fermin was with you for all those times. He was your best friend practically all your life because your families were friends long before you were born so it was natural. Even when he went away to La Masia you never grew apart and you even came to Barcelona to study just so you could be close again. He was you ride or die, literally and you two were the perfect example of a guy and a girl being strictly platonic besties. You viewed him more as a brother than a friend and so when you moved to a new city he made sure you never felt alone. He always invited you to games and hangouts, introduced you to practically everyone around him and even sent you on a few dates over the course of last year but you always struggled to keep a genuine connection with a guy like that. They always seemed too superficial or wanted to use you to get closer to Fermin now that he was in the starting 11. Most of them just wanted sex and that wouldnât be a problem for you if they just tried a little but no, they always expected it for buying you a 20 euro meal or a drink at the club and it was exhausting you. You also werenât looking to get married in three months but sometimes, especially when Fermin and his shiny world wasnât around, you wished there was someone to turn to. You just wanted affection, canât a girl get affection these days?
Your inner monologue was cut short by the ringing of your phone.
âHeyâ you chirped answering it.
âY/N hi.â as soon as you heard the voice behind the phone you stopped all your movements, you were expecting your best friend to annoy you but it was actually Pedri.
âUm, hiâ you answered not understanding why Pedri would be calling you from Ferminâs phone.
âIâm gonna tell you something but promise you wonât get madâ Just that sentence alone made sure youâd get mad.
âJust out with it Pedro.â
âSoo⊠Ferminâs drunk.â he finally confessed and your eyes went wide, you even checked the time again to see if you lost track of time.
âItâs only 7.45. How?â you were baffled with Ferminâs choices but still had a question needed answering.
âYeah so itâs actually a funny story-
âPedro why did you call me? Did something happen to him?â
The thought made your blood run cold.
âNo no donât worry weâre fine. Itâs just, we donât have a ride back.â
âUm, sorry yeah just, whatâs the address?â he asked clearly talking to someone next to him and as soon as you heard a high pitched female voice you got the gist of the situation.
They went to some girlsâ place and now that their businessâ was over needed someone to rescue him before the public sees them.
âJust text me the address.â you huffed annoyed, didnât even let him answer and hung up.
Itâs not like you didnât know the boys were doing this stuff, they were young famous and rich. Of course they had every right to enjoy their life, itâs justâŠ
Itâs just whenever Fermin was in a situation like this, it was always with Pedri and it annoyed you. Pedri as a whole annoyed you yes but the fact that he was with a different girl sometimes more times than he actually plays football was unsettling and unnecessary even.
He reminded you of those people on Too Hot To Handle like come on one week without sex couldnât be that bad. You went without it for⊠a really long time. And he wasnât even that good looking to begin with so you could never understand why those girls were throwing themselves at him. Yes his eyes were shining bright whenever he was in a good mood, his jawline was damn near perfect and his smile was contagious but thatâs about it. Pedri was not that great, or so Fermin said.
âWhoâs that? Is that the infamous Pedri Gonzalez?â you asked Fermin when your eyes caught his at the party currently being thrown at Baldeâs house. Fermin brought you because according to him, you really needed to let loose and get some vitamin d (his words not yours).
As soon as his eyes followed yours he immediately pulled you away shaking his head relentlessly.
âOh no no no no no. No.â
âWhat?â you asked after looking at Pedri one more time and noticed he was still watching you.
âNo, Y/N. Not him, anyone but him. Well, not anyone. I donât really feel great about Ferran and Gavi would be a little complicated but even theyâre okay but not Pedri.â
You tore your eyes from the gorgeous boy in the other corner of the room and looked at Fermin like he had grown another head.
âI just asked who he isâ you defended yourself but Fermin was quick to cut you off.
âIt always starts like that, then heâll come over and charm you into the bed or worse, the restroom and bam! Youâre left behind.â the way he described it made you sober up immediately.
âExactly. So repeat after me. Iâ
âSleep with Pedriâ you repeated but was shocked to see Pablo passing by you and say it at the same time as you. Fermin was quick to hit his head and murmured a âcabronâ and you chuckled at their fight.
Fermin also lost his serious manner for a second and laughed but pulled himself together soon.
âLook Y/N Iâm just trying to look out for you.â
âItâs okay Fermin, itâs not like I wanted to do it anyway. Iâll just steer clear of him.â
You really meant it and tried your best to avoid Pedri at all cost since the first time youâve met and just kept it pleasant with small hiâs and byeâs but he really had a charming personality and his eyes were like magnets and no matter how hard you tried youâd still find yourself drawn to his eyes whenever you crossed paths.
Fermin saw it too and tried to warn you a few more times but you told him to knock it off because there was no way youâd ever stoop so low, right?
You really did find his behavior with women disgusting, even though he claimed he never indicated anything about a relationship or even a date you obviously knew all those girls were looking for it and were left heartbroken when Pedri shut them off completely after spending the night together. But he was the sweetest talker and it was so easy to fall into his trap, it was so lucky that you didnât.
You finally arrived at the address Pedri texted you from Ferminâs phone about 20 minutes later and saw them waiting in the lobby of an apartment complex. They both had hoodies with sunglasses, if they were hoping to lay low this was really not it.
Pedri carefully laid Fermin in the backseat and got in the passenger side of your car. You didnât even answer his hey and turned back to take a look at Fermin.
âWhy would you drink this much?â
âUh, I donât think he can understand you at the momentâ Pedri chimed in.
âAnd you! Why would you let him do this to himself?â you now pointed a finger at him.
âI wasnât exactly with him while it happened.â he awkwardly scratched the back of his neck.
âWhere were you? Ohâ you said immediately knowing the answer.
âDid they at least sign NDAâs?â you asked slightly bitter. Although you tried your best to mask it with annoyance for Ferminâs state.
âYeah yeah, Fernandoâs handling it.â
It was the way he was so nonchalant that made your stomach turn. You turned the car on and started driving to Ferminâs place.
âDo you mind me putting on a song?â he asked after an uncomfortable silence and slightly nodded your head. He immediately connected to AUX and put on Bad Bunny.
After a minute Pedri started to silently sing along and you turned your head to his direction.
He was shocked you talked to him given the fact that you never did it if you werenât forced to but quickly turned to look at you and scratched his chin.
âYeah, it was getting hot.â
You turned your attention back to the road and answered, more to yourself.
âYou did?â he asked with another shocked expression. Pedri sometimes assumed you didnât even remember his name.
âYeah well, it looked more mature but given your current state I think the childish look suits you better.â you chuckled and he joined you.
You didnât even know why you told him you liked his bearded look, I mean you really really did but this was forbidden territory.
âIâm sorry you had to come to get us.â he said after another moment of silence.
âItâs alright. I didnât have anything else to do and I couldnât leave Fermin stranded.â you looked back at your best friend sleeping peacefully in the backseat.
âYou really care about him.â he also looked back at the blond boy smiling.
âI do. Heâs my best friend.â
The ride continued without another word from either of you and you finally pulled up to Ferminâs driveway.
You opened the back door and tried waking Fermin up but Pedri was quicker and got him up putting all his weight on himself and basically carried him in. You opened the door and let them in helping with Ferminâs bag while Pedri carried him upstairs to his room and came back a minute later. You were tidying up Ferminâs living room as he approached you.
âI think heâll be fine.â he smiled.
âThank you.â you said without glancing back at him expecting him to go crash in one of the guest rooms but he stayed still, making you realize for the first time in a year you were alone with none other than Pedri. Your body stiffened up and he noticed.
âWhat?â you turned to him raising a brow.
âYouâre shivering.â he motioned his head forward and had a sly smile on his face and your cheeks immediately burned with embarrassment. How could you possibly tell him it was because this was the first time they were alone (if you donât count passed out Fermin upstairs) You were not cold in the slightest, actually your body was pretty hot.
âUh yeah itâs chilly.â You tried your best to not look at him without being disrespectful, you didnât want him to think you were a bitch just that you were his friendâs friend and thatâs it.
âDo you need help with anything?â he asked bending down and picking an empty pizza box from the floor.
âNo itâs okay, you can just go upstairs and rest.â
âIâm actually just gonna call an uber.â
âUber?â you asked âYou donât have to do that you can stay here, Fermin wouldnât mind.â you blabbered on but just as you shut up a voice in your head said maybe thatâs not why heâs leaving. Itâs still early, heâs not passed out drunk and he probably has many girls lined up waiting for a call.
âOr if you have somewhere to be, it totally cool.â you tried shrugging nonchalantly as if you didnât care at all but probably failed. This conversation was becoming more and more difficult by the second.
âI have nowhere to be.â Pedri chuckled at your nervousness.
âThen youâre welcome to stay.â you once again turned to him for a second but that turned out to be a mistake on your part because Pedri was intensely watching your every move. Sometimes you wondered how many more people werenât falling in love with him everyday, he could easily hold a meaningful eye contact every time your eyes met.
âWhat if we watched something?â he asked. âYou love reality tv, right?â
You didnât know what you were supposed to be more shocked about, the fact that he offered to watch something with you or that he knew your tv watching habits and stood still until you found the courage to speak up.
Thatâs how you ended up in this position with him, takeout boxes on the coffee table and sitting closely in the middle of Ferminâs l shaped sofa. Pedri could easily lay on the longer part as he already had his feet on that part but he opted to sit just next to you. Your thighs were centimeters apart and whenever he turned to you to laugh at something a cast member had said youâd feel his hot breath on your face. The setting felt too intimate for two people that were barely considered as friends yet alone one person with a pathetic little crush. You tried to ignore the feeling rising within you and tried your best to focus on the show but it was nearly impossible as Pedri once again made a comment about the sex drive the cast had and held your thigh in the process.
âI mean they have to be faking, this is too much even for me.â he laughed while your eyes were focused on his hand on your leg, you couldnât even comprehend his comment for a second.
âOh come on, you couldnât even last a day there.â you teased having no control of your tongue. The comment was a surprise to both of you.
âYou donât think I can last a week without sex?â he raised an eyebrow smirking at you and you felt the tension in the air shift slightly.
âI donât think you could last a day.â
âNow youâre being unfair.â
It was your turn to raise a brow being like âreally?â
âIâm not that badâ he continued to defend himself but you werenât convinced.
âCome on Pedri, Iâve heard the stories.â
âIâm perfectly capable of not doing anything with any girl for however long I want.â he looked around.
âJust look at us.â he motioned between you two and your eyes immediately turned to his hand still resting on your thigh. He retreated it slowly while awkwardly chucking. Even though you enjoyed the banter, the mention of you two brought back the awkward and painful feeling you had. Maybe he thought you were not hot enough to hit on.
Before you could answer you heard some noises from upstairs and went to check on Fermin. He was now up and in his en-suite crouched on the toilet ready to throw up.
âY/Nâ he mumbled quietly and you bent down next to him.
âWhat did you even drink, my god Fermin youâre unbelievable.â you scolded the boy but this was you trying to be soft. He really shouldnât put himself in these situations.
âWhat are you still doing here?â he asked trying to get out of your interrogation but you hesitated to answer.
âI- we were watching tv and had takeout.â you stammered and Fermin looked up at you with confusion.
âMe and Pedriâ you bit your lip because you knew what was coming.
âY/N weâve talked about this, you need to stay away from him.â Fermin said sounding exhausted both from his state and how many times he had to talk to you about Pedri.
âWeâre just friends Fermin, heâs your friend too.â you said trying to end the conversation as quickly as possible.
âYeah well I donât wanna have sex with him.â you shushed him as fast as you could afraid that Pedri would hear it.
âAre you okay now?â you asked as Fermin stood up and washed his face.
âYeah, Iâll be okay. Just gonna sleep it off.â he said as you were walking out to give him privacy. Just as you shut the door behind you you were faced with Pedri with a slight smirk on his face.
âDo you wanna have sex with me?â
You were stunned to say the least and couldnât even muster a word just let out a nervous laugh.
âLook Pedri I donât know how much you heard but heâs out of his mind and was saying some extremely dumb stuff.â you tried to move past him but he placed a hand gently on your waist to prevent you from running away from this highly embarrassing situation and slowly leaned into your ear to whisper.
âYou know Y/N, all you have to do is ask.â you could basically hear the smile he had on as he spoke and hated yourself for not being more calm and being as wet as you are
ooh not sure about this one really but hope you enjoy lovesđ
