A tiny snippet of what might have happened on that flight to Japan. Hope you like it :)
Sleep, my sweet
Pedri feels his eyelids getting heavier as he tries to finish the race he’s playing on his Nintendo Switch, but the hum of the plane’s motors and the heaviness of the third hour of flight are making it very difficult for him to stay focused on the game. He feels tired and sleepy, but he’s not sure he’ll be able to actually fall asleep, he’s not very fond of plane seats, even if they are ample and and comfortable as these first class seats are, they are not his sofa or his bed.
He looks around and sees that a handful of his teammates are sleeping, a few others are chatting quietly in the dim light of the cabin, and some others are playing with their consoles or watching something on their phones or tablets. When he looks at Ferran, his boyfriend has his headphones on and is probably listening to one of his podcasts about whatever obscure topic he’s found.
He looks so handsome like this, with his eyes closed, focused on whatever he’s listening to as he plays with his ring. Pedri knows that he’d easily fall asleep is he were in Ferran’s arms, but he doesn’t want to bother him when he seems so invested. So he tries using one of the cushions that have been provided by the cabin crew and covers himself with the thin blanket.
He turns sideways and tries to close his eyes, he’s certainly sleepy enough that he should be asleep in minutes, but every time he feels himself start to settle, something stops him. At first is the way his feet feel too heavy because of his trainers, so he toes them off and hopes it doesn’t bother anyone.
After a few more minutes, he can feel one of the arm rests digging on his back, so he turns around and wrestles it until it’s all the way up. As he is trying again to fall asleep, some noise coming from somewhere on the plane startles him. Pedri sighs, frustrated that he can’t sleep on a plane when he should be used to it by now.
He tries one last time, settling down and promising himself that if he’s not asleep in ten minutes, he’ll search what films he’s got downloaded on his ipad and watch something. But as he’s about to turn again in frustration, a soft chuckle coming from Ferran makes him look up. His boyfriend is watching him with a fond expression on his face.
“Come here, vida,” he says softly and opens his arms invitingly. And Pedri doesn’t even wait, he’s on Ferran’s lad in about two seconds. “Why didn’t you say you couldn’t sleep?” He asks quietly as he softly brushes Pedri’s hair off his face.
“Didn’t want to bother you,” he mutters, already lying down and burrowing his face in Ferran’s neck.
“Amor, you are never a bother,” Ferran says as he lovingly strokes Pedri’s back. “Having you in my arms is one of my favourite things,” he adds making Pedri smile.
“Do you want my noise cancelling headphones?” Ferran asks after a couple of minutes of Pedri just breathing calmly as he traces patterns on his boyfriend’s chest with his fingertips.
“No, I want to fall asleep listening to your heartbeat,” Pedri declares, looking up from where he is laying on Ferran’s chest.
“Aren’t you the sweetest?” Pedri smiles at that and moves to give Ferran’s lips a soft peck and then lie back down again. He feels himself being lulled to sleep, grateful to be able to enjoy his boyfriend’s presence even on a work trip. As he is drifting more and more, he still hears and understands a sentence, but he’s too tired to actually react to it.
“Boys, could you quiet down, please?” Ferran’s voice asks, and the chatter noise that had been accompanying Pedri for the last twenty minutes slowly lowers its volume, and Pedri smiles and thanks the odds for having someone like Ferran in his life.
Guys tomorrow night I’m going to stay in a hotel next to the airport and day after tomorrow I’m getting on a plane at 9AM, and getting off 17 hours later at 9AM (I’m probs gonna pass out by the PM but oh well)
Main point, does anyone have some song reccomendations? I’m listening to Glorious, Coming Home, so kinda new beginnings stuff if you’ve got any? (or like adventure-y stuff) Thanks ahead to anyone who gives me any!
I’m heading down to Florida tomorrow for winter break! So I’ll be on a plane for the majority of the day. I will get to our RP’s once I’m at my destination.
Last-Week’s-Not-Much-Walking-Minitour-In-Review Photos: Okaaaaaaay, so I got back Saturday afternoon from the music minitour of California that started bright and early Wednesday morning. It took me a while to decompress, but here finally are eight photos from that very fun and very interesting trip. I went down with Rae Gordon and the guitarist from our band, Kivett Bednar, to play three gigs with guest musicians. Wednesday night we played in the Bay Area, Thursday night we were scheduled to play near Los Angeles in Ventura, but the tragic fire there put much of the town under mandatory evacuation and caused the venue to cancel – quite understandably. Which left us a Friday night gig in Arcadia, just northeast of Los Angeles proper. The two gigs we did play were very successful and we’ve hopefully planted seeds for bringing the full band down at some point in the future.
But ANYWAY. Here are eight photos from the road for your enjoyment; click to see the caption explaining each photo.
And with that, it’s back to regular ol’ Walking Photos.
