Summary: "Poldi, why are you shaking?"
Note: This my first fic on here, so comments would be loved so much !!! :)x
Bastian made his way across the training pitch, ambling along in an attempt to let his best friend Lukas catch up with him before he reached the hotel changing rooms. All of his teammates had passed by him before he reached the double doors and still Lukas hadn't managed to catch up with him. Turning around, Bastian noticed that Lukas was extremely slowly making his way towards him. He had his head down staring blankly at the grass beneath him, his hands were curled up in fists by his side and his feet were barely leaving the ground with ever step he took. But there was something else about the way Lukas looked that caught Bastian's eye, was he... no he can't be, is Poldi shaking? Bastian realised the closer that Lukas got to him that lukas was in fact shaking and violently shaking at that. Bastian moved so that he was stood in front of the double doors so Lukas had no way of getting past him without talking to him.
Lukas came to a stop in front of Bastian but didn't make an effort to get Bastian out of the way, let alone lift his head up to even look at Bastian. He just stood there waiting to be able to walk inside and get changed. Bastian remained rooted to the spot and a little in shock that his best friend couldn't even look up at him. They stood like that for a few minutes before Bastian reached out to Lukas gripping hold of his chin and forcing his head up in an attempt to get Lukas to look at him.
"Hey" Bastian tried as he looked into Lukas' eyes before Lukas looked down at the ground.
"Hey" He mumbled in reply.
"Poldi, why are you shaking?" Lukas looked up in shock at his best friend, he had hoped that Bastian wouldn't notice. No one else had noticed a thing but Bastian always picked up on the little things that Lukas did.
Bastian could see Lukas trying to make an effort to put a stop to his shaking but gave up after a few seconds, leaving Bastian to wonder just how badly his friend was doing.
"I'm not shaking" Lukas challenged, shocking Bastian even more as he had only ever known his best friend to be laid back, up for a laugh and never letting anything get him down, And this was certainly out of character.
"Poldi I'm not blind I can see you shaking, Whats wrong?" Basti tried again releasing his grip on Lukas' neck to place his hand upon Lukas' shoulders instead.
"Nothing's wrong"
"Lukas don't lie to me, I know somethings wrong so just tell me. I want to help but I can't if you won't talk to me"
"Just leave it" And with that Lukas pushed Bastian's arm off his shoulders and out of his way so he could enter the changing rooms and disappear before any one could ask anymore questions.
Bastian didn't make any attempt to stop him, just hoping that someone else would pick up on Lukas' behaviour and question him, until it came out about what was bothering the younger striker.
----------------------
But to Bastain's dismay no one else noticed anything and Lukas remained avoiding socialising with the rest of the National team. Lukas had already left the changing room by the time Bastian had finished in the showers, and Lukas had then avoided showing his face at dinner while Bastian was in there.
However when Bastian made his way into the common room, he spotted Lukas curled up on one of the armchairs in front of the television, clearly shaking and ignoring Micha who was crouching in front of the chair trying to get Lukas to talk to him. Bastian placed himself against one of the walls, watching the exchange until Micha appeared to give up on his futile attempts and stood up before making his way over to the Bavarian.
"Whats wrong with Poldi?" Micha demanded in his best commanding voice. But all Bastian could manage was a shake of his head and a shrug of the shoulders. "Surely you know something?"
Bastian let out a sign before answering "I don't know he won't talk to me", It hurt to acknowledge the fact that his friendship with Lukas was being tested and nothing was going to change that unless Lukas decides to open up to him.
"Have you tried?"
"Of course I did, but if he doesn't want to talk then he won't talk. Poldi's as stubborn as it gets, so unless he has a change of heart and wants to talk, hes going to remain in that chair shaking reguardless of anyones attempts"
"I know, I'm just worried about him"
"You're not the only one Micha, but it's Poldi he'll be back to his usual self before you know it like nothings happened" Bastian wasn't sure whether he was trying to reassure Micha or himself.
--------------------------
Bastian had been laid in bed for a while, trying to sleep but finding that he couldn't stop worring about his best friend instead, when he heard a light knock on the door, although before he could question as to who would be knocking at this time of night, the door opened and a half naked Lukas tentatively stepped into the room.
"Lukas what are you doing here?" Basti asked as he grew yet more concerned and confused towards Lukas.
"Couldn't sleep" Lukas whispered as he walked closer to Bastian's bed before pulling up the covers and sliding into the bed next to the midfielder.
"So you thought you'd just come and keep me awake" Basti asked as he wrapped his arms around the striker and pulling him closer to him, in attempt to help get Lukas comfortable enough to get a bit of sleep. Noticing how Lukas' shaking toned down as soon as he was wrapped in his arms.
"No, you always say that i'm more than welcome to sleep here with you. Thought it might help me sleep" Lukas yawned as he snuggled into Bastian's chest.
"Your always welcome, just thought you didn't want to be around me"
"I always want to be around you"
"So why have you been ignoring me?"
Lukas sighed deeply "I've been ignoring everyone"
"But why?" Bastian moved one of his arms to start stroking down Lukas' back in an attempt to get him to open up more.
"Scared" Lukas mumbled quietly.
"whats scared you?" Bastian was once again left shocked by his team mate.
"Bad dream"
"What about?"
Lukas remained quiet for a while and Bastian thought he wasn't going to answer "You", He could feel Lukas start to shake again but he just pulled the striker closer to him.
"What happened?"
Lukas pulled his head off Bastian's chest and turned so they could look each other fully in the eye. "You got injured after i tackled you, and you blamed me for it and you said it was the end of Schweinski. And I got scared that it might happen in training, I'm sorry"
Bastian kissed the top of Lukas forehead before speaking again "Nothing and I mean nothing is going to end what we have. I'm always gonna be here for you." This seemed to have an effect on Lukas as his shaking stopped and a first genuine smile of the day appeared on his face, and it return Bastian pulled Lukas down and planted a kiss on his lips, causing a small giggle to escape from the Pole's lips. "See you don't have to worry about your dreams, you've got me forever and even if you did tackle me to the ground i'd just make you look after me in return."
Lukas let out another laugh before settling back against Bastian's chest, letting out another yawn "No way am I ever looking after you, your meant to take care of me since I'm the younger one"
"Fine I'll take care of you but only if you go to sleep right now, otherwise you can take care of me for the rest of the year, Deal?"
"Deal" Lukas tried to mumble as he finally let sleep take over him, and soon after Bastian found himself lulled to sleep by the steady breathing coming from the body laid half on top of him.
