Akira bored the final bus without Reo and Nagi, who had been ushered onto another. While he had been seated on another involuntarily, leaving the curly-haired boy alone and surrounded by strangers.

Walking down the aisle towards the empty seat, the bronzed boy couldn't help but recoil at the stares that bore holes into his sides. Quickly taking his seat next to a tanned teen with blonde hair with pink tips and even pinker eyes.

"Hey cutie" The moment Akira seated himself he found himself in a rather compromised position from the jump, his face now inches away from his seatmate who stared at him with unmistakable lust. "What's your name?" the blonde asked, his voice deep and husky, scratching an itch within Akira that he didn't know was there.

"Ito Akira" he yelped his face bright red as his attempts to create some distance failed miserably, every time he moved his seatmate followed leaving the teen no choice but to accept his closeness. "Damn, even your name sounds fuckable. Name's Shidou Ryusei ya' better remember darling cuz imma make sure you're screaming it all night long"

Akira thought it was inconceivable for him to blush any more than he already was, but somehow this stranger had managed to achieve that in less than two minutes of knowing him. The curly-haired boy didn't know whether to be more impressed or concerned, at the man's talent of being able to fluster him with little to no effort.

"com licença" the bronzed boy said as he tried to reach for his seat belt, but was stopped by the firm hand of his seatmate. Shidou took the belt with little issue, his grip so firm it left little room to dispute as he leaned over to buckle Akira's belt. Their chests and faces came into dangerous proximity, brushing up against each other through their clothes much to the blond's delight and the curly-haired's abashement.

As the bus finally began to depart for Blue Lock, the two eventually separated much to Ryusei's dismay. Akira now less red-faced after a tense interaction, decided to retreat to his safe space. His music, throwing his headphones on and cranking up the volume to the max the curly-haired teen relaxed into his seat and closed his eyes before silently drifting off to sleep.

Shidou hadn't noticed Akira had fallen asleep until he felt a heavy presence slump onto his shoulder, lifting his gaze from his phone he turned to see the bronzed teen dozed off in a peaceful trance. One the pink-tipped boy had no intention of breaking, as his hand gently brushed a stray lock of hair away from the sleeping boy's face.

'He's ravishing' Shidou thought as the tips of his fingers gently trailed across the boy's features, careful not to wake the sleeping figure. Every single curve and surface of Akira the blonde committed to memory like a map, caressing his face to which the bronzed boy unknowingly cuddled closer, much to the Ryusei's silent satisfaction. Quickly pulling the boy closer to him wrapping his arm around his waist, making sure not to tug too hard on his belt.

The rest of the ride was serene, as Akira calmly napped on the blonde's chest only moving ever so often. While Shidou watched the latest episode of Kaiju No. 8 with one hand holding his phone and the other wrapped around the sleeping figure's waist mindlessly playing with the hem of his shirt.

The two remained like that until they arrived at their destination, as the bus gradually rolled to a stop, and the doors opened the other passengers slowly began to fill out. Gently nudging the boy awake, Ryusei smiled at the tired teen who slowly opened his eyes cringing at the brightness of the sun, burying his face into Shidou's chest until he came to his senses.

Shooting up to look at the blonde, Akira was once again bright red and embarrassed beyond belief as he attempted to mutter out an apology, other than an ineligible stuttering mess nothing else would come out. "Good morning angel" Ryusei smirked at the flustered boy, leaning over to unbuckle his belt for him.

"Time to go sweetheart" The two were the last to exit the bus, and with that, they joined the rest of the peers as they lined up waiting for their names to be called. "Ito Akira" the woman called. Akira tumbled towards the front of the queue and now stood to face a pink-haired woman with kind features.

"All electronics must be handed over before you enter, here are your standard issue Blue Lock clothing, your key for your locker where you must leave all personal items including bags and wallets, and you have been placed in room V. Any questions?" she said handing off a bag of saran wrapped clothing and a key, to the boy who turned in his technology to the woman without complaint.

"Um yeah what about me jewellery?" he asked gesturing to the layers and layers of golden jewellery he wore, which he treasured more than anything. "The nose and ear studs can stay in but everything else needs to be put in your locker." Now Akira wasn't happy at the thought of parting from his beloved jewellery as without them and his eyeliner he felt naked like a part of him was missing. But his mood was slightly lifted that at least his piercings wouldn't close while at Blue Lock.

Thanking the woman the bronzed boy entered the blue cube-shaped building, stopping in front of the locker corresponding with his key. 444, before depositing all of his stuff and locking the cabinet before putting the key into the lockbox with all the others before making his way down the hall in search of room V.

Wandering through the labyrinth of corridors eyes focused on the signs above each of the doors, Akira continued down the hall until he felt himself bump into someone. Looking up he was greeted by the sight of a tall teen with dark brown hair and two slits on the right side of his head and orangey-red eyes.

He did not look happy, eyes narrowed at the curly-haired teen "Watch where you're going pretty boy" he barked as he barged past him disappearing down the hall. Stunned at the interaction Akira blinked as he tried to comprehend what had just happened, silently praying that he wouldn't see that particular teen in room V.

Continuing on his quest to find room V, he finally reached his stop. Walking into the room with his Blue Lock-issued bodysuit in hand, the sight of a vast and empty-looking room, with a row of lockers on the left side, and a large monitor on the front wall greeted the bronze teen. As he glanced around the room he noticed various individuals scattered around changing into the same clothes that he had in his hand.

"Akira!"

Turning his head the curly-haired boy was relieved at the sight of two very familiar faces, Reo and Nagi. Walking to meet them, the teen was taken aback when he was pulled into an embrace by his purple-haired friend. Once the initial shock wore off he happily accepted the hug, before breaking apart so that the teen could greet Nagi with a small side hug.

"I was so worried when we got separated," the amethyst-eyed boy said as he scanned Akira's body, looking for any injuries he could have picked up while separated. "how was the bus ride?" the Mikage boy asked looking to his friend, who couldn't help but blush as he remember the interesting journey he had he had.

'Damn, even your name sounds fuckable. Name's Shidou Ryusei ya' better remember darling cuz Imma make sure you're screaming it all night long'

'Good morning angel'

'Time to go sweetheart'

"Um uh- bom Reo," the bronzed teen said, and while Reo wasn't fully convinced by the boy's answer clearly hiding something from him. He decided to drop the subject as a voice from across the room caught their attention.

"Oh, hey. If it isn't the genius trio. I lost to you back then, but that was because I let my guard down. Let's settle it here once and for all."

The voice of Nameoka Ryo boomed from across the room, as he approached the three who were still in school uniform. "Who's he?" Nagi asked staring at the player with disregard, "I don't remember" Reo responded and Akira just shrugged, his face looked familiar but not enough for him to place where he knew him from, which didn't seem to go over wel.

"I'm the star player of the amazing powerhouse you miraculously beat in your debut match! How could you forget?" He yelled pointing to Akira and Nagi, clearly upset that neither one of them remembered him or the match they played against him. "Oh, yeah. I kinda remember." the white-haired teen said eyes slightly narrowed as he remembered the zombie-esk creature he had to play against that day.

The trio didn't give their former opponent much more thought as their attention turned to another in the room who seemed to be battling his clothes and losing. Hey, Akira Nagi! There's a weirdo over here! A ghoul with upside-down legs!" Reo laughed as the three watched the struggling teen, who clearly had put their uniform on upside down.

"Someone help me. I'm gonna suffocate!" he muffled under the fabric, to which two of the three quickly aided in helping the trapped soul by freeing him from his fabric confines. "You realize these are the bottoms. right?" Reo said handing the teen his trousers in slight amusement, how could someone put their clothes on upside down?

"Oh, he's right? Sure. I knew that. That was a nice brushup. It was a pre-release." The teen backtracked as he cleared his throat in embarrassment, to which Reo and Nagi immediately called bullshit.

"You're totally lying"

"Your English is all wrong, too."

Akira stayed silent, not wanting to pile any more humiliation on the poor guy. Knowing full well it was probably a god-honest mistake, "Leave alone amigos, we need to change" the curly-haired boy said pulling his friend's attention from the glasses-wearing boy. Who seemed to appreciate the boy for diverting the attention away from his embarrassing mistake.

As he began to undress and change into the clothes given by the nice lady at the door, Reo and Nagi followed as they stripped from their school uniform in favour of a form-fitting black and blue body suit. Akira couldn't help but feel a tad shy while changing as it felt eyes on him as he undressed, which wasn't far from the truth.

It was no secret that Akira was beautiful, and his body was no different. The way his soft skin gleamed under the lights, how his subtle muscles flexed as he changed, leaving very little to the imagination as some eyes dared to linger near his crotch area.

The snug unitard accentuated his physic even more, Reo couldn't help but salivate at the sight. 'All his' he thought as he eyed Akira as he put his uniform away in his assigned locker. Though the Mikage boy did enjoy the of him changing that didn't mean he enjoyed the fact that others got to see him bare, his jealousy simmering under the surface as he watched others shamelessly gawk at his treasure. And though Nagi would never admit it, he felt a similar way wishing for nothing more than to hide Akirak away all for himself, away from all these unworthy eyes.

"Hello there. Have you finished changing, diamonds in the rough?"
