"The last phase of third round selection will begin shortly and now these are the total votes we will announce the team which able to divide" said the ai voice.

"Hmm" you eyes flick at the names and frown slightly.

"Disappointed on the player list?" Karasu ask who stretch his arm as you both were finish warming up.

Your hand on your neck as you make a cracking sound then glance at Karasu, "not really... Was just wondering how it will go on"

"Ah... I see nervous?" His hand halted for a moment with silence gaze you just nod as he kept a Hanson your back as he pat it tell you to relax.

You let out an audible sighed, "aren't you worried if one team going to end up doing four times? Since it is going to be five matches"

"Ah... Probably not us. Perhaps the tops twos"

You shrug as he and you just chatted a bit while cooling down yourself with a face towel wipe the sweat off your face.

"See us B and C are going for thrice while A is going for fourth"

"Hmm... Shouldn't they just make four it would have been much more easier then show clear favoritism"

"Is it?" He glance at you. He was an inch shorter then you (shockingly he is 6 ft under. Just kidding... 183 cm I will say.)

"Yeah like it will bring out the capacity for them to cooperate more and probably as they are the top notch"

"Probably"

You both went quiet as he side glance at you.

"Y/n"

"Hmm?" You side glance at him as he softly smile.

"I'm glad we can play again"

Your eyes widen slightly yet a soft smile was present, "me too. Its been a while I will say"

"Yeah... I hope you aren't getting rusted since you haven't been playing?"

"Who said I am not. Wherever I go soccer is always with me"

"Hmm... I suppose."

The silence was peaceful as you both stay like that. His head on your shoulder as you just kept your head on top. As letting the silence make you both at peace.

"Can... I hold your hands?"

"Hmm?"

"Your right hand"

You nod as he intertwine with his left. As he relaxes beside you.

"Is it calming?"

"Yeah... Nervous?"

"Abit. You?"

"Yeah... But the excited to play"

"Me too"

"..."

"..."

"There are a lot I want to ask you..."

"...yeah I know"

"...but I guess that have to wait doesn't it? Since we still have a match"

"Yeah."

"Always a short answer... Whenever you don't want to say huh?"

You just nod as his smile widens. You knew he have alot to ask. But he kept it silent not wanting to hinder the current peace or affect the match.

Besides... After meeting your ex soulmates and all... And how pink string, Nagi acts... You will say you don't really regret dating Karasu early on.

Or neither her... But for now you gotta focus on present.

You both stood up from the bench. To walk on the way to meet the current teammate that is selected.

The door opens as you notice the familiar red haired. That is kinda getting molested by the strange guy which Karasu kept a hand in the back pull him off him.

"Chigiri... Right?" You approaches Chigiri who nod. "Yeah"

"..." You don't know what to say. Your social skill is top notch in school and all but in sports? What should you add now? You don't know.

"Aida".

" yeah?"

"Don't make me regret choosing this team"

"Hmm?" You eyes widen a bit yet smile slightly, "yeah... Beside... I am sure you are here to break past all of us to win goal..." You said with your eyes flick down at him.

He look up and nod, "yeah... I will make sure to devour you slowly."

"That will be painful."

"...I d-dint meant literally devour!" He said with a slightly fluster look when you gave him a look with squinted eyebrow confused on how he will devour you.

And he swore he saw you imagining him with a knife to cut you open of sort to devour you in food sense.

You chuckle slightly with your hand on the back of your head ruffling your own hair with an awkward smile.

"A-ah... Right I kinda... Got distracted there"

"Geez... The two already head ahead" he simply said quickly walking ahead as you quickly catch up with him noticing his fluster expression.

'At least he didn't imagine in a bad ero way' Chigiri sigh in relief as the image pop on his head which he quickly brush it off.

The last person of team walk behind with a thought, 'ah... They already have partners...'

As the door opens. Your eyes flick noticing recognizable people I mean you recognise them.

Nanase wave happily as you just smile and wave back minus the enthusiasm.

"Aida-Kun and you were team weren't ya?" Hiori ask as Nanase nod.

"Aida-senpai was really kind! He even pass to me while playing unlike... Shidou-san" he whisper the last part as Shidou just wave.

"Y/n! Don't forget to give me a kiss after this match"

"In your dream, Shidou"

"Ryusei! You forgot that."

You just ignore his words as he kept his hand on his pocket? More likely inside his pants.

Rin just huffed at the interaction. As he could just imagine you wave at him too. Which he quickly shook away that thought as for now he is here to prove himself.

Hiori notice your quick avoidance of eye contact when Karasu point at him and was whispering to you.

Hiori eyes narrowed when Karasu clearly gave a smug smile.

"You take the defense" Karasu add to Otoya who pout "not fair always quick to asign people"

"And..."

"We know what to do. Don't worry." The last member said as You nod.

"I doubt they are stupid enough to score without slight cooperation here."

"Hmm alright."

"Y/n"

"Hmm?"

"Can you stand in sideline and not get on my way?"

This catch Otoya off guard well even Chigiri. So does the last member (its your choice whom you choose from those two)

You just side glance at him with a soft smile present on your lips. "You are really eager huh?"

"Totally, besides. I want to test them out more... After all can't have the trump cards show all on once right?" He grinned. As you let out as sighed.

"Alright Tabito"

'Is it me or does their relationship is smooth' Otoya thought as he assume there will be awkwardness and all but he didn't expect it is going smooth. Like geez. He almost thought there will be toxic fight. Well he double doubt it again as you both are calm to one another.

Chigiri on other hand eyes narrowed. He didn't really like what Karasu said and you just accepting that. He join not only to showcase his skills. He is here to even see how you play.

He mentally curse Karasu to trip on a bottle by the end of match.

"Alright... I will stay on sideline I guess?"

"Maybe keep an eye on that cheap strawberry pocky sticks hair?"

"Shidou?"

"Ryusei! Don't go back calling my last name Prince! You can't back down from your word."

"...were we talking loud?"

"no, I don't think so"

Chigiri sighed as he stretches his arm abit and take position.

"Chigiri"

"Hmm?"

"Keep an eye on... Isagi..."

"...yea" He just nod, his eyes stare at you who seems to be in relax mode as you take your own position. His gaze fall to the other team.

'I surely hope my expectation is not wrong.'

You were intruide how it will go. You are not using a name but you... yours truly name. And you can't let that be the reason to back down. Just yet.

But for now you will just observed them. Observed eachbof their moment and even your teams.

Each movements and their skills. To get to know what can make them grow. Devour the strong. And bring some seblance of joy to you... Even for once in this game.

The game continues as you felt lingering gaze.

Your eyes flick to Hiori who stare at you yet you having no intension to have a staring contest look to side.

"Aida-kun is not playing... We might need to get two score... It must be Karasu doing" Hiori said as Isagi eyes flick to you then at the black hair guy.

"What do you mean?"

"Oh right. Beside Karasu Aida-kun was also in the youth in Kansai"

"...is it me or Aida-san always... Transfer a lot?" Isagi state as Hiori nod.

"Yeah. He does I suppose"

"What is it about senpai?"

"Ah nothing."

"Hmm? 'Re you sure?"

"Yeah"

'Yep Ego will personally kick me out for just not going around. How troublesome' you thought to self.

While you let out a sighed. As your eyes glance at Chigiri who seems so annoyed and the ongoing fight between Rin and Shidou.

Your eyes fell on Isagi who finally seems to find the piece of his puzzle. You think.

'Wow is this how it is going to be...' You thought to self already given up on the match you kinda understand now why you and Nagi are pink string related maybe. It must be because you both don't have the will to play.

Well for you is more likely just to pass the ball and not really goes into their heat of argument.

"Y/n!"

Ah... Now he is calling out to you after Isagi goal.

You literally became a statue. Well even the last player was blend away by the scene.

The ball was now on your feet. As the tension perceived on you.

"Chigiri" your eyes flick to Chigiri who glance at you.

Your eyes soften a bit as his eyes widen but he took the hint and nod.

The ball kick off as you were now block by Rin. "You're not getting away"

"Eh. I will just take a step back then"

"Huh?"

With your leg you take a step and quickly dribble past Rin who tires to block you. Which lead the ball to go by between his feet as it was catch by Chigiri.

The others came by blocking. And you knew. This is the deciding factor.

You somehow felt it is like a movie where the last goal have to preserve for something.

"Loose ball!" Chigiri shouted as they rush forward. To catch the ball.

You mutter something to Chigiri whose eyes widen but quickly did a U-turn as you ran past the others. On exact moment of the kick by Isagi you caught the ball mid air.

"Huh?!"

"!?!"

"Chigiri!" You shouted before anyone can comprehend as you without landing with the force of ball fly across the field.

The chemical reaction between you and Chigiri occured.

Aida y/n x Chigiri Hyoma.

'When did he get there?' The others thought as Chigiri eyes focus on where to score while running as the ball descend to him.

You landed swiftly as you sprinted to run too with the others that quickly try to stop Chigiri especially those three.

You knew Chigiri doesn't need assistance and you knew his speed and momentum can do it. Unless he hesistate. And if he does you won't hesistate to score if it get in the hand of the other team.

The others were running to catch up but. Since Chigiri was already in headstart with his speed.

'When did Chigiri-san reach there... No... Was I already read by Aida-san?' Yoichi thought as he could see Chigiri getting closer to the goal post.

The ball accuracy of your passed to him landed swiftly above his head descending.

But before it truly fall and lose it momentum Chigiri kick the ball hiring a goal by the side when the ball rotate and the goal keeper misses to catch it.

"Yash!!!" Chigiri hand tighten in fist as he shouted.

"Wow!!! Not bad!!" Karasu add cheering still taken aback by your long pass to Chigiri.

The team A stood there frozen abit.

"Ahaha! I knew you will bring the explosion out! Took you long enough! It is dry explosion though next time make me wet!" Shidou said with a grin well plus annoyance.

Rin hand tighten into fist as his head was lowered but his gaze focus on you and Chigiri who fist pump well you slap the fist of his saying it is his and yours way of fistpumping which lead Chigiri to laugh.

Otoya too add in mix of how it was unexpected so was the last player as Team B rejoice.

Isagi stare at them for a moment as Hiori glance at Isagi after breaking his trance of seeing you so happy.

"Isagi?"

"Amazing... He truly is amazing" Isagi mutter with a grinned a look so determined as if it didn't got broke for a moment when he realise his lost.

No he was more then glad to see this. Even if it was just. a moment.

The way you just block his solid goal. Interfere his vision. He never felt this. No he always felt this. He knows he knows this feeling when he play against you. And the feeling coming back to him make his grinned widen.

Hiori stood slightly shock by Isagi expression as his eyes shift to Karasu who smirk and kept his elbow on your shoulder.

Hiori just smile abit with close eyes. He knows he have to suppress that feeling for now.

'For now.'

While Nanase was taken aback but he still find it admiring like Shidou minus the explosion part Nanase could finaly see it. The way you just move in just short reaction.

He almost thought you gave up on the match but he was wrong. 'I can never doubt you senpai!'

'In that moment I did Surpass Rin and Shidou. But I fail to surpass you... Aida-san...' Isagi eyes fell on you then at Chigiri he couldn't help but be curious of that chemical reaction as if there was implication of trust. But if it was there how did it happen or created in such amount? But for now his feeling were in one with his thoughts as his thoughts stop when suddenly he notices Rin and Shidou fight.

"So damn childish." Karasu said as Otoya just make a bang bang with his finger sign. "I love this kind of brawl. Bang bang!"

"You really did well"

"I could say the same Aida I really thought I ran for nothing but then I hear the ball flying over with the wind..." Chigiri add as you both stay in sideline not caring about the fight.

"To keep your complete trust on me it kinda shock me"

"Well... it was shocking you trust me enough to reach the ball"

"Well I suppose you did well" you pat his head as he was in alarm but let you when you continue to mention about the precision of last moment and the direction through mathematics calculation.

He doesn't understand much but all he hear was you just praising him for something which he really didn't thought could happen. It shock him how you told him to take the last goal.

Those eyes. He realise no wonder they find reliability to you.

Because with your presence around he felt at peace.

"Let's get going Y/n" Karasu add as the five of you left from the door you came and you ended up telling your number to Chigiri while the other three are focus on their own world.

Even if you don't have your phones with you at least you memorize you number enough to write it down on a piece of paper which Chigiri smile and thanks.

It was truly something worth of a goal.

"Seems like next is team A vs C will occurred tomorrow what do you think who will win?" Karasu ask as he walk beside you.

"Hmm... I don't know"

"You don't or you won't say"

"I just don't"

"Huh?"

"...well besides anything can happen. It is not a confirm game play you know. Tabito"

"Hmm I suppose... Next time I will be sure to pass it to you" Karasu said with softer smile as you just sigj, "you don't have to I can make one myself"

"Nah am not going to listen one bit."

"Alright"

"So easy to agree"

You both ended up talking together for time being for a while then went separate when reach the dorm rooms.

You head in to the bathroom without knocking and your eyes fall on the person occupied.

Rin stood there with wide eyes and so do you.

"Y/n..."

Before he approach you close the door shut alarming him.

He stood there at the shower his hand clench in fist.

He felt angry of the fact he couldn't show cast his skill though he admit the last goal was something else.

He close the tap as he put the towel on his waist and knock at the door.

You open the door for him as he step out of the door.

"Ah, done bathing?"

"Yeah"

"Alright can you side away?"

"Ah... Yeah"

You head in and close the door shut with your clothes and towel as he stood there for a moment.

His walk around in thoughts as he was in doubt if you are disappointed on him.

He didn't realise the shower was off as he quickly perk up by the door opening.

"Y/n" he turn to face you. The towel that barely hold on falls down as you were busy ruffling your hair and the fact the floor was wet because somebody forgot to wear indoor shoe after coming out of the bathroom.

You trip as his eyes widen so does yours. You fall on him as he just stare at you not even whince by the impact of the floor.

His eyes stare at you as you kept both your hand to side from almost going too near his bare form.

"Ah Aida-san... I was wondering..." Yukimiya stood by the door as he notice you two on floor.

He slowly close the door without a word and walk away yet you quickly scramble on your feet and left leaving daze Rin who still was in daze of you on top of him.

And the circumstance.

"Ah... My back hurts" was the only word he said when he finally felt the pain.
