"Can you stop moving so much? I can't sleep when you move like that," Lionel groans
"I can't sleep," Neymar says
"It's over Neymar.. you should be able to sleep just fine now."
"What if we lose next time?"
"We won't. And if we do then that's fine too. Don't stress too much," Lionel says softly
"How come you're always so calm Leo?" Neymar pouts
"Because you have enough anxiety for the both of us!" Leo chuckles
"Meany!"
"Come here," Lionel says pulling him closer
Neymar eases down once he's finally in Lionel's firm grasp. He loves the feeling that Lionel gives him. They're very different people. But somehow they manage to balance each other out just fine.
"You're great."
"You're the greatest," Neymar says smiling
"Why do you always have to say cheesy things like these?" Lionel groans
"You love that!"
"You're right."
"I'm tired Leo," Neymar yawns
"We were supposed to have been asleep 2 hours ago."
"Oops."
"Just go to sleep.. don't worry about el clásico.. you'll have to go through many more of those.. and sadly you will not win all of them babe. And you have to be okay with that."
"I know. But it's hard to be okay with losing," Neymar says
"Then don't take it as a lost. Take it as a learning experience."
"The wise man has spoken!"
"Go to sleep, Ney."
