A:n- last chapter was something I suppose? Either way back to the story I guess.

Also I need to clear things out before anyone get confused.

Ryouzen is y/n.

And y/n is Ryouzen.

Y/n Has Bi-polar personality which you can guess by now.

He is more vulgar when he is Ryouzen letting his intrusive thoughts out while the other he kept quiet while been patience. But recently is getting thinner due to fact there is no distraction a way to chill down recently... For him.

"Today is your team match isn't it?"

"Yeah... Will you watch the match?"

"I suppose I will be... Besides you should talk it out with Reo"

"Talk it out with him? About what?"

'About whatever relationship is brewing between you... Geez I don't know if I should support you both or just stay out of bussiness.' You thought to self with a sighed.

(A:n- I know some of you ship Reo and Nagi but I don't. I seriously don't. Don't even mention their ship in any of my book just don't. I will accept as friendship but no. No shipment between this two. As much as it is obvious like just don't.)

Nagi just hug you keeping his head at the crook of your neck snuggling as if to let him calm down.

You realise he often does this before a match nowadays at Blue Lock for odd reason.

He finally let go as the team was call out as he left with a wave which you does so.

"My~ that guy surely hook up to you. No Huggie for me?" Shidou said as your eyes flick to him.

He just press himself close to you with his head atop of your shoulder as you just let out a sigh enough of his antics.

"That's better" he said before you pry and left. It kinda alarm you that he left without a freaky comment he often say whenever possible.

But today he look like he is enjoying peace for today. You wonder if some holy saint reach his heart.

Rin glance at you then walk away as your eyes focus to Karasu who just shrug.

As you both sat on the monitor room (separated with the others and top 6 I guess)..

"Well this will be interesting. Which one do you think will win?" Karasu ask as he glance at you.

"Hmm not sure Sei is a genius I will say but since he is recently playing even genius need to time to develop."

"Genius huh?"

"Yeah... I probably think even Rin is"

"Probably considering he is top 1"

"Hmmm but regardless Shidou-"

You sweatdrop by the sharp look Shidou gave at the camera.

"Ryusei, is kinda just go with flow I mean whatever he feels but you can't really deny he is a good player" you commented as Karasu nod while keep his elbow on his thigh and palm hold his face while his focus fall on you.

"I suppose that's true you always observe people"

"Don't you too?"

"Well... I suppose it is like a habit"

"Ah I see... What about Yukimiya?" You asked as Karasu thought for. a moment as he gave his own comment.

"Ah... That's something hmm..." You both watch the match as the first goal was from Nagi.

"Are you and the white hair guy close?"

"Sei? Well he live below apartment of us when I shift my house... He often stay in my house as his parents often go to trip"

"Ah... I see so you both are close?"

You nod and smile softly, "he can be quiet lazy at time and unenthusiastic but you can't really hate him"

"I do..." Karasu mutter while roll his eye which you did catch onto but did not comment.

"Well he start taking to play in soccer at third year of highschool by Reo"

"Huh? And here I thought you inspired him..."

"Well... not really because I quit soccer by that time during..."

"...what?" Karasu eyes widen as he stare at you. While you nod. "During second year I quit soccer. Completely"

"May I... know why?"

"It's complicated..." You said while keeping a steady smile as much as it bring a sore mood to you.

"Things really change for you huh? After middle school..."

"It did eventually... "

"..."

"..."

"Y/n..."

"Yeah?"

Karasu hesistared as you stare at him. He let out a sigh.

"Do you... not like us dating?"

You blink twice and thrice as his gaze were away from yours as his hand on his neck awkwardly.

"I mean... I feel it is not only you leaving Germany"

"..."

"..."

"...Nevermind if you don't want to say"

"Well, I just thought it didn't work out for it you know"

"..."

"As you see my disinterest on relationship... Is quiet a hassle for me as time went on with the sudden travel for something and beside after I return from Germany not long I left Japan again..."

"...I see a hassle huh?"

"Yeah..."

"May I... know why you agreed to date me?"

"Well because I like you" 'and because mother wants me to agree and have experience of love or sort' your thoughts varied from your word. You do admit you like Karasu.

And dating him was not something you regret.

But the way he act and all you could see he was becoming more serious instead of just learning some experience of love of curiosity. Because like you. He was just curious at first.

"You... Do?"

"Yeah"

"...that's good to hear"

But you knew. So you left and break up before things play more serious.

You never really felt the spark of love. And it will only be hurting Karasu more if he realise all this time you only see as a friend. Nothing more. But out of curiosity later on the dates...

So its better to leave before it really harm someone.

"Beside we both were just middle schoolers"

"Yeah we were... It is understandable since we lack truly of feelings and... Mostly curiosity"

"Yeah"

You both went quiet as watch the match. While Karasu just quietly ask if he can lay his head on your shoulder which you nod.

Now he just close his eyes and kept his head on top your shoulder as you focus on the match ongoing.

'Seeing Reo face I can assume he has understand that he is not enough for Nagi isn't he? Is he finally realising his talent? Is he finally letting go of Nagi as his treasure a tool for him. And find his own means of talent?' You thought to self, as you watch the goal by Rin.

"Ooh, I knew he could do it" you mutter with a soft smile impressed by his quick copy of style.

'The answer to his goal. To survive in Blue Lock' you thought to self as if like a proud father seeing his son to finally stand up on his feet.

As you recall the days of high school from first year till now.

Though you notice Reo less you could see him often later on.

----

It start on the basketball match where you were assign to help out since you were bored and quited Soccer by that time.

Reo was there too bored as usual but slight intruide to join for time been.

You both were similar. You both were bored.

He was quick to adapt and copy you could see his skill. But it was never enough was it for him?

For him, you were the interest he found. The play style of yours he could never copy. From the way you move to formless shoot.

He could only be mesmerized by you. That was the reason he play for time been. Watching you play and play with you. Sometimes he feel much fired up to play against you whether be one on one or practice match.

You always amaze him.

While you lost interest and play other sport quoting the basketball team before he make you the ace and dump the responsibility to you.

He always watches you and you know it too but you just ignore him.

Keeping distance.

He doesn't know why. He try to approach you friendly yet you just brush him off or quick reply to leave.

He follow you other sports club like volleyball, Tennis even swimming.

He always watches you. But you stop during the month of July.

You stop playing any of the game except in PE if you need to.

He assume you focus on studying as you always scored the top 1.

He could only wonder why you are so perfect. From getting along to other to been on top he guess you both are similar. Too similar. But perhaps that's the reason why Reo felt a connection to you.

The moment he realise Nagi and you are close it was like an opportunity to get close to you.

And it work...

It work...?

Did it?

----

Reo let out a sigh recalling the past as he recall your words clearly...

"Reo how is the feeling to get a taste of losing expectation? "

'You are right y/n... If it was past me I would have been annoyed that you will say that but now I understand... I was truly relying to much and been prideful of someone as an object... I forgot that they are not something I own to reach my goal and through Blue Lock... I will prove to you. That I will make my own goal!' His hand tighten into fist.

'And you won't think me as pathetic anymore.!'

.

While you walk to dinning table since it was late night and you ended up taking a nap on a particular lonely place where none could not find you and slept. Now you were hungry so you went to the dinniñg hall to eat dinner as you felt a stir as you notice the person sat two chair apart from you.

"Hello"

"Huh?!" He gulp his food as he almost choke and point at you. "From where the hell did you pop off from?!"

"Shh! not too loud Barou, There are people asleep"

He huffed while munching on his food.

"So late practice?" You asked as he side glance at you and gave rough, "hum."

"So why the hell are you here late hour. Often time you get hog over where is your dog?"

"Which dog?"

"Ah... right those keep on changing"

"I don't have a dog" you replied as he huffed.

"There is this lazy brat (Nagi), Purple tack who hang out with brat (Reo), or the rocket crust like hair (Karasu), or the puffy (Niko) or the branded Hornist (Shidou)"

"That's a lovely names you got there... And no. They are not my dogs. They will need a collar if they were"

"That's what you are worried about?"

He huffed as he eat which you does so. It went quiet for a bit.

"You enlisted your name didn't you in team B"

"So? My goal is to goal not hog over to make plans if you are thinking that"

"Not really... You are pretty neat I will say"

"Huh?" He huffed as side glance at you. "I suppose you are too"

"Hmm?"

"That's a first." He mutter as his eyes widen slide to see the pudding slide to him. His eyes flick to yours as you smile. "After dinner it is always good to try sweet things sometimes"

"I don't need it. Idiot"

"But you are stuffing it in your pocket"

"Shut up!"

"..."

"..."

"..."

"Thanks..." He simply said with his eyes look to side as if he took all his courage to say that to you.

"Your welcome" you simply replied as he left the dinning hall while you kept your plates away and leave for your own room.

For odd reason it wasn't that bad of a conversation.

Maybe it was mostly because you both don't have grudge on each other?

Your eyes widen as you notice him again who seems to came by to say sometime with a pointed finger at you.

"Huh?" You were alarmed as he seems to have run back in just few minute of sort as he eyes glared at you.

"Don't think! I will let you slide for that stupid blocking of yours pest."

"Ah you don't have to worry I will be sure to pass to you during the match"

"That's not-! Never mind screw you! I will steal your ball!"

"...where's the knife?"

"Not that ball idiot" he huffed and left with fluster face as you just chuckle at his reaction.

It was funny to interact with him somehow.

"I suppose the king is a fluster king, tonight."

.
.
.
.
.

The next match started the next day not too long after team A vs C.

"Y/n"

"Hmm?"

"What do you think?"

"Think what?"

"About this match?"

You smirk a bit as he smirk back and nod giving a knowing look.

"Let's give it all then."

"Yeah..."

your eyes flick to the three as your eyes lit up, and start patting Niko hair.

"I'm so happy you join team B Niko~ So fluffy I miss this" you said while continue to play with his hair as Karasu awkwardly cough catch your attention while Niko just stay still always caught off guard by your action.

"If you have the time to touch his hair, take your time on getting his leech off"

"Ew Leech" Barou grimace and take step away from Niko who look offended?

"I-i don't have leeches!" Niko add fluster and angry by Raichi comment who is pump up to score.

"So, here is the plan"

"Get over it. All it matter is score"

"Just give me the ball"

"..."

"..."

"They are not going to listen are they?" Karasu add as he glance at you then smirk. "Both of you are like the tightness of a hole that can be stretch if you don't cooperate I will do that" Karasu add as you side glance at Karasu.

"Don't mind him, he is kind but his word are pervertified" you whisper to Niko who almost laugh as Karasu loom offended.

Either way the five of you enter the door as you were talking to the team though they seems like not appealed to cooperate much but with the idea to give them on how the cooperation is a fluke and they can score as soon as they get ball but the condition is do not lose it to enemy. And no stealing ball unless pass your eyes flick to Nagi who have been staring the moment you enter the field.

While in Nagi mind recall Reo words which his eyes narrowed recalling the short conversation he had.

---

"ne Nagi"

"Hmm?" As Nagi drink the water from water bottle Reo look serious and look up at Nagi.

"Are you nervous about the next match?"

"Not really. I just need to score and win"

"Even against y/n?"

"Yeah... He won't like it if I slack off"

"Probably... But I will say all the best Nagi"

"...?"

"Y/n... He is different from how we once knew"

"...Reo. Y/n is still the same. We never him enough."

"Huh?"

"Y/n never change. He just got tired of been the one side of the coin."

"...I see... Then I guess you have more to worry huh?"

"...how was his gameplay?"

That caught Reo offguard as Nagi doesn't really ask about that.

"It look decent with perfection.. But he is also unpredictable... Like a completely different person... Sometimes"

"Ah, I see.. I guess you frustrated him a lot"

"..."  Reo became silent while Nagi just left in his thoughts

-----

Nagi doesn't really know how you play and haven't really seen you play.

He is curious. He often doesn't really think much as it become a hassle and he achieve it by just doing it.

If he need to gain or win something that is.

While on other time on first selection he didn't really pay minds. Instead he practically just doesn't realize you are on the field during game as team but now he knows something have change.

But he doesn't want to think. All his thought is to win.

While, the ball kick off by Rachi as the players start moving. It first ended up taking time to adjust on the team play as their are two aggressive dog.

"It is either you cooperate on it or Forget about goal, the ball won't even be on your feet. Barou."

"Tch! like hell am I listening"

"And even you Rachi"

"Tch! He is the one aggressive one he literally push me off."

"Resulting both to catch a foul and almost injure Niko in process. Very impressive. We are already three goal behind" you said while glance at Niko who said he is fine while having a nose bleed while given time to rest for now.

Your eyes flick to scoreboard. 2-4 Team C was leading and one more goal it will be the end of match with unsatifactory result.

At least Karasu scored once at begining and you did moment before Niko got hurt, as you take a deep sigh and tilt your head to side.

"Your aggressiveness is not needed. Egoism can be shown through your goals but recklessness and stubbornness is not needed. I can clearly take both of your chance to prove yourself. Do you want to experience how I just did?"

Rachi went quiet and huff but nod understanding it as he do know how it went on first selection. He would rather not have a lost then the pride been wounded right now. He still need to prove himself and make it count. While Barou seems much more angrier by your word.

"Why would I listen to you i-"

"The king of the jungle shut up or I will make sure to hit you with the ball on your petty face, you gorilla" you said with a smirk, he glare about to argue as you raise your hand as stop sign.

"Be the king of whatever you want to be pronounce as your gender" you state with a cold authoritaritive tone.

"but right now, the whole world doesn't care. If you doesn't make this count none will even remember a fallen king nor his achievement if he have no impact of a domination. Right now whether you make an alliance or overthrow the people it doesnt matter what matters is."

You take a breath and stare at him, "Don't ya want to make a history? Or are you going to let the foreigners to end your kingdom" you said as if in background there is intensity of war been shown as Barou stood as king looking at the foreigner (team c) who have come to attack his people.

"It is either you, make it count one chance. Of life and death" as you approach him as his eyes narrowed at yours. (Y/n is 6'1 Barou is 6'2 so slight down? Eye I don't know)

"Or will you find me to reign over" your smirk widens as he huff but seems to calm down and smirk down at you which yours and his eyes bored to each other as if a challenge or understanding.

Your hand point at the team C when you finally speak out loud enough for your team to hear.

"Go and slaughter them, Bloody King"

"You don't have to tell me twice, General"

You just nod while the smirk still plaster on your lips so does Barou as you both slap the other hand with a determine look.

Rachi stood with a slight mouth agape on what just happen while Karasu seems like he got frozen with mouth agape. While Niko just stare at you with slight admiration.

'Aida-senpai is so cool he just calm down the king in his own way'
