Stadium lights dim to a soft glow, the roaring crowd now a distant murmur. You linger with Mikky near the players' tunnel, the cool night air sharp with the scent of cut grass and fresh sweat. Frenkie's laugh carries from ahead, but it's the figure beside him that catches in your throat—Pedri, his dark hair damp, his gaze deliberately avoiding yours. He offers Mikky a flat nod. "Hello Mikky." The silence that stretches between you is heavy, waiting for you to break it.
