Sitting on the couch with the phone in her hands, Y/n scrolled through old pictures, smiling at all the beautiful moments she experienced over the years. Giggling, she turned her head towards her boyfriend, Gavi. He was watching a game, (what else) when he turned his head and shifted his attention to Y/n.
„What's so funny hermosa?" he asked, stroking her legs which were draped over his lap.
„I just found the picture I took of you when we first met." She snickered, making Gavi turn his head in embarrassment.
„Amor, this is so embarrassing." He groaned.
„No it was cute! It just makes me laugh that you told me you were too shy to speak english." She replied, shuffling closer to him and put her head on his chest.

„¿Quién es?"Gavi asked Fermin, trying to sound unbothered by her presence.
„Who?" Fermin asked, not really understanding what his friend was saying.
„Who is this new photographer? I've never seen her before." He tilted his head towards Y/n, a girl who recently started working as a club photographer. She was twenty, moving from England to Spain, pursuing her dream in sports photography. Pure coincidence led her to her job, now taking pictures of sweaty footballers every day. Couldn't be better right?!
„Ay Pablito likes the new photographer huh?" Fermin nudged him, earning a punch from his friend. „OW!"
Gavi wouldn't tell anyone for the first weeks but he found Y/n very cute. During his trainings he glanced over to her sometimes, seeing her doing her job so effortlessly.
After one particular fun practice, he walked back with Ansu to the locker room. On his way Y/n stood on the sidelines, encouraging the players to pose for a picture.
It was the first time he heard her voice, a British accent coming through.
„Smile!" She asked kindly when Ansu and Gavi walked past. Both flashed a smile, making Y/n lips turn upwards too.
After the „click" sound, she glanced back up, holding eye contact with Gavi for a few seconds. As the two players disappeared into the tunnel, Y/n couldn't help but blush at the thought of the nineteen year old.

„Just ask her out after practice hermano!" Pedri urged Gavi but he just shook his head with a pout.
Pedri found out about his little crush not much later. Gavi wasn't the best at keeping things to himself, he just couldn't keep secrets!
„Cabrón, I can't speak english!" He spoke frustrated after hearing Y/n talk with a British accent.
Pedri just laughed out loud, his head flying back as he clutched onto his chest.
„Bro, be serious I bet she can speak spanish. At least a bit. You can speak english too!" Pedri argued, encouraging his younger friend to make a move.
„Have you ever heard me speaking english? I sound stupid with my accent!" Gavi just waved him off, getting into a shower to clear his mind.
It has been a week later and Gavi still didn't talk to Y/n. His heartache grew stronger over time, seeing her everyday engrossed in her work made him weak. Little did he know, Y/n had her focus more on Gavi than on any other player, snapping some good pictures of him during practice.
The next day, Gavi came home late, deciding to ask her out the day after. Stressed as he was, he downloaded Duolingo to do about three exercises before he grew even more stressed and deleted the app again.
----------
Tying his boots, he received a crash course from Ansu. He could speak english quite well in contrast to Gavi.
Mid-sentence he shot up, glaring at Ansu.
„How do you know I have a crush on the photographer?" He asked bewildered as he saw Ansus smirk on his lips.
„Almost the whole team knows, don't tell Pedri your secrets Pablito."
He was fuming, but walked off earning funny faces from his teammates.
Y/n was doing her job like always, trying to get good shots when Gavi walked in front of the lens, doing a silly pose.
Y/n glanced up from her lens, blushing as she saw Gavi smiling at her.
„Did you get a good shot?" He asked rather shy, his thick spanish accent coming through.
„Yeah. Not really hard when you're the model." Y/n chuckled, seeing Gavis cheeks heat up at her words.
„Could be the other way around too, you know?"
Y/n's breath hitched at the footballers words, a smile appeared on her face.
„I'm Gavi."
Y/n just laughed, seeing the puzzled expression on the boy's face.
„I know who you are, silly. I'm Y/n." She said, feeling much more comfortable now after seeing how nice Gavi actually was.
He relaxed too, feeling a good connection between the two of them.
„So, I've seen you around for some time now and thought you were really cute. Is there a chance to get to know you better?" As he dropped the news, his accent grew thicker.
Y/n's heart fluttered at his words before she answered.
„Yes, of course. I could give you my number." Y/n offered and placed the camera down next to her.
„Sería perfecto." Gavi answered, adding something to it when he saw her eyebrows furrow quickly.
„My english isn't the best, sometimes I mix it up." He said, scratching the back of his head.
„Don't worry, your english is perfect. I'm the one who should learn spanish!"
He smiled softly at her when she scribbled her number on a piece of paper and handed it to him.
„Gavi! come here!" Xavi shouted, interrupting the cute moment between the two.
Gavi glanced over his shoulder, seeing the whole team staring at them.
„Go, or else Xavi will kill me for talking to his beloved youngster." Y/n chuckled as Gavi laughed at her joke, pulling her in a short hug.
„See you around Y/n. I'll text you." He spoke, already running to the group before he earned a slap on his head from Pedri. Fermin basically jumped onto his back as he told them what the two of them were talking about.
------------------------
„If you didn't speak english that day, I probably wouldn't sit on your lap right now, don't you think?" Y/n asked and put her hands around his neck, pulling Gavi closer to her.
He just smirked cockily at her, pulling her in before kissing her soft lips.
