I do not own ES21 or any of its characters

It was just another day of practice before the Christmas Bowl, Shin and Sena were in their daily rounds chasing after each other. Sena was tacked repeated into the ground by Shin, and with each tackle he sped up his pace, but then so did Shin. It was about after his twentieth tackle things went from a normal practice to an awkward conversation.

Wincing in pain from the impact from the ground, Sena was lifted by Shin from the ground with one hand. He couldn't help but noticed how much strength and power his idol (now rival) had.

"You're dirty," Shin stated bluntly.

"W-what??!"

Sena's eye went wide, and did a double take on what Shin had said. But soon realized the state of his clothes, on the context of words and the person Shin was, it had no innuendo what so ever. Sena thought in his mind, "Oh he means my clothes."

"You're downright dirty, Sena." Shin repeated again adding a queer adjective.

"I can't help being dirty if I'm tackled Shin-san."

"So you like being dirty?"

Sena was giving a nervous chuckle and noticed from the odd looks that he was getting from other team mates that were walking by. Sena tried to give the message through his face and waving his hands, "ITS NOT LIKE THAT YOU PERVERTS."

"Maybe if you stopped tackling me so hard to the ground Shin-san, I wouldn't be so dirty."

While saying that, he was brushing off the dust on his shoulders then his chest. Out of the blue, Sena was suddenly spun around and felt Shin's big hands slapping off the dirt behind his back and moving downwards. Sena thought that Shin's hand was moving awfully close to his -

"ITS OK SHIN-SAN!" he yelped moving away from the tall teen, covering up his butt. "I'll just run faster so that way I won't get filthy from the mud."

Shin held his signature face that lacked any emotion, and randomly tackled him to the ground. Shin was a tall tower compared to the tiny adolescent, he brought down his head to level with Sena's ear and whispered something to make Sena's eyes wide as dinner plates.

"I like it when you're dirty."
