Seriously, all of this...it's just flawless and perfect! It's just something about this that's so incredibly beautiful and poetic.
So, Xabi was in love with Iker when he lived in Spain, right? And Iker did not notice it to start with, and didn't have any feelings for Xabi either. I can be wrong, but Iker fell for Xabi, didn't he? Like, when he said
"at the bar, xabi relays the drinks when iker says, 'this is not what i expected.'"
but also this
iker puts out a hand to stop him, fingertips resting briefly on the back of his hand, before he pulls out a couple of notes from his pocket and pays the bartender. 'that's not what i meant.'
and the second time when Iker comes to visit, he says this
"outside the restaurant they hug, he feels iker's hand cup the back of his neck, pulling him closer he whispers, 'i think you're making a terrible mistake.' just as suddenly he pulls away to flag down a taxi, doesn't look at xabi until he opens the door and says, 'probably shouldn't keep him waiting.'"
which is basically him admitting that he's been in love with Xabi for years and years and thinks Xabi should have picked him!
The Xabi/Stevie part of this was very cute, and I love how you made Stevie propose to Xabi :)
