Hide and Seek Pt. 2

                                    

                                          
Farewell to Alba and Busquets 💙💔
➽───────❥
He pulls me closer and I bury my face in his chest. He softly kisses my hair, resting his chin on my forehead.
I hear footsteps, the sound of a door creaking open.
And then Pedri's voice fills the room.
➽───────❥
Gavi and I both freeze as we hear my brother's voice echo throughout the room.
His body tenses up against mine and my face scrunches up.
"Fuck." I mumble into his chest. If Pedri finds us, we're literally screwed.
"Shhh, we'll be fine." Gavi whispers, but by his tone, I know he doesn't believe himself.
"¿Dondé estáaaaas? (Where are youuuuuu?)" Pedri says into the "empty" room.
I hear footsteps near and then a box gets kicked against the closet.
Pedri curses under his breath and proceeds his route towards us, careful not to trip again.
Gavi and I hold our breath, praying on all the shit we can think of that Pedri doesn't open the door.
But it fails.
And the door slowly creaks open.
One look at me wrapped in Gavi arms and Pedri absolutely loses it.
But not how I expected.
"ALÉ ALÉ GUYS GUYS GUYS GUYS!!" Pedri screams like a child, turning around running out of the room, kicking up broken boxes without a care in the world.
Shitshitshitshitshitshtshitshiiiiiiiiiiit.
"¡¡PEDRI NO LOS DIGÁS!! (PEDRI DON'T TELL THEM!!)" Gavi and I scream, tumbling out of the closet and running after him.
But it's too late.
We run down the stairs as we try to catch up to Pedri, who is already at the bottom.
I can already see my brother opening his mouth to the group of men who have all somehow materialized at the bottom of the staircase, and I take a leap of faith.
Literally.
I fling myself towards him and jump on his back, sending him toppling down, me landing on top of him.
"What the hell did we—" I smack him, "tell you!!?"
"Hermana (sister) please get off of me." Pedri groans in a annoyed manner.
I roll off of him and immediately regret it because he lifts his head up to the group of boys, a stupid grin plastered on his face.
"Y/n and Gavi are together!!!"
This little—
"HA! I TOLD YOU!!" Raphina exclaims as people fish money out of their pockets, handing it to him.
"The hell is this?" I say.
"I put a month because I knew Gavi was a chicken—"
"Hey!" Gavi protests, materializing behind me.
"—And would take a while to muster up the courage to ask his girl out." Raphinia finishes.
"You guys were betting on us!?" Gavi questions, speaking my exact thoughts.
"Bro I've waited three years for this." Pedri says, getting up from the floor and putting an arm around Gavi's shoulders.
"You too?" I groan. Great, now my brother is betting on relationships. I wouldn't be surprised if I found casino chips or something under his bed later.
"Hey!" Pedri says, holding his hands up in surrender. "It was Lewy's idea so don't blame me."
"Of course it's the grandpa." I mutter under my breath, and Gavi snickers.
"I'm not THAT old!!" Lewandowski protests.
"Soooo, who's buying dinner?" Frenkie asks, switching the topic and looking at the group.
I technically found the lovebirds first—OW!!" Pedri exclaims as I smack the back of his  head. "—but since Raphinia jacked all our money he can pay."
Everyone agrees and Raphinia reluctantly coughs up half of his earnings to contribute to our meal.
Shortly after ordering, our food arrives and we dig in, eating and laughing together as old memories are brought up.
Gavi and I make eye contact from time to time and he sends me a shy smile before looking away.
It's funny how at first, I didn't want Pedri to find us. But now I'm grateful that he did, because it would have been way more awkward sitting him down and telling him myself.
All things happen for a reason I guess, that's how the world works.
Raphinia jacked everyone's money.
Pedri admitted to the fact that he's been waiting on us for years.
Gavi and I finally confessed to each other...
All from a game of Hide and Seek.
