Main pairing: Guardiola/Messi. A little one-sided Lima/Messi. All Messi pairings are friendship-only.
Our little Messi deserves to be loved well in every timeline.
Guardiola remembered the last time he and Messi had met:
They had happily talked about Argentina, Miami, even Manchester City and Barcelona, as if nothing had ever happened.
When the taste of yerba mate had faded, he asked, "Leo, there's no going back, is there?"
One day five years later, he suddenly received a text message: Pep, I don't feel well. I don't want to go to the press conference.
And just like that, a 23-year-old Leo Messi from 2010 barged into his life without a care in the world.
Leo Messi, who had lifted the World Cup trophy at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, looked at him with shining eyes. "Pep, tell me our story."
"If I ever went back to 2010, I wouldn't let you go through all of this alone."
"In every timeline, Leo Messi loves Pep Guardiola."
Somewhere, another you stayed behind/
There, another me smiled/
Another us still loved each other deeply/
And would live on forever in our place/
If I can think of it that way, that's enough/
Theme: I hope you are always loved and always happy
