This is my first fic, so it's probably not going to the best fic you've ever read, but hopefully, over time, I can improve and provide more stories of much higher quality.
Pairing: Tenma x Tsurugi
Disclaimer: I DO NOT own the characters of the Inazuma Eleven or Inazuma Eleven Go series.
Warnings: This is a mature story, there will be sexual content (aka lemons), drug use, violence and explicit language over this story so be warned… Also, the pairing is MxM, so if you are uncomfortable reading this kind of stuff, don't read it.
Additionally, if you have any requests or ideas for me to include in the story, I will be happy to do that. Any review is appreciated.
Thanks for choosing to read this story, hope you'll enjoy.
On with the story…
Tenma's POV
Do I like him?
I'm not sure. He said that he hates soccer and will destroy Raimon, and I hate him for even saying something like that. But there's something strangely…attractive about him. But, I can't like him. Can I? That Tsurugi, who is he? What does he truly want? But, even if I do like him, what's the point? He obviously hates me, so if I even showed a single sign of me liking him, he probably beat me up. How could I possibly like someone like him? And how could someone like him ever like me?
Suddenly, I heard Shinsuke calling me.
'Hey, Tenma!'
I turned to face him and smiled at him, trying to forget that nagging thought ricocheting in my head.
'Hey, Shinsuke!'
'Are you excited for our first practice today?' he squealed, his face bright with eagerness.
'Yeah, I'm so excited to play soccer with the Raimon Eleven!' I replied, doing my best to show enthusiasm.
'Yeah! It's gonna be so awesome!' Shinsuke said, his eyes wide with excitement.
'Hm.' I returned, my thoughts drifting back to that thought in my head.
'Hey, Tenma?' Shinsuke said, with a tone of concern in his voice.
'Huh? What's wrong, Shinsuke?' I responded, curious to know his anxiety.
'Are you alright, Tenma? You seem…distracted.'
'Huh? Oh no, just thinking about other things.' I replied, hoping to quell Shinsuke's nervousness.
'What?'
'That Tsurugi guy. He's joining Raimon, isn't he? I'm scared to see what he does next.'
'I know, he scares me too. I hope he doesn't do anything too bad.'
'Yeah. Hey, Shinsuke?'
'What is it, Tenma?'
'Race you to school!' I shouted, and then started sprinting down the path to Raimon, leaving Shinsuke in the dust.
'Hey! That's not fair!' Shinsuke wailed, and I heard his frantic panting from behind me.
I laughed as I dashed along the familiar streets of Inazuma Town, and into the front gates of Raimon Junior High. I watched as other students like me walked into the main buildings and chatted with friends, and I continued watching until Shinsuke jogged slowly beside me, panting furiously and his face bright red.
'Tenma! My legs aren't as long as yours, you know!' Shinsuke gasped, in between large gulps of air.
I just laughed at what he said.
'What's so funny?' he asked.
'N-Nothing. Don't worry. Come on, let's go!'
We hurried through the main building into our classroom. We took our seats, me being next to Aoi, Shinsuke in the row in front of me. As the lesson started, all I could think about was that one thought that surface to my mind before:
Do I like him?
Still, I'm not sure. I'm still debating it. I don't even know what his deal is. Not that he'll open up to me anyway. But curiosity is getting the better of me. He's amazing at soccer, but hates it? That doesn't make sense. What's he doing being a Seed for Fifth Sector anyway? He must have a reason, right?
~Time Skip~
All our lessons are finally over, and it's time for practice! Me ad Shinsuke practically bolted out of the classroom after the bell had rung. We dashed to the soccer stadium where practice was being held. To my surprise, no-one was there when we arrived.
'Huh, we must be early.' Shinsuke quipped.
'Yeah. We did run here pretty quickly.' I replied.
I heard the door open from behind me and Captain walked through, along with Kirino-senpai, Amagi-senpai, and Minamisawa-senpai.
'Good afternoon!' I said cheerfully, thrilled for today's practice.
'Oh, hey, Tenma and Shinsuke. You're early.'
'We just can't wait for practice!' Shinsuke exclaimed, clearly harbouring the same burning feeling I was.
'Oh, okay. We'll just wait for the others to show up and then we'll begin.' Captain replied.
~Time Skip~
Practice was really difficult! All the members of Raimon are so talented! It took me all my effort just to keep up with them. It really was awesome, though! Playing soccer with the Raimon Eleven is so amazing, although since there are only nine members left, they weren't technically the 'Raimon Eleven.' But getting promoted to the first team is so incredible! But, there was one thing that was bugging me. Tsurugi. Of course, being a member of Fifth Sector, he didn't join in with practice today. But whenever I look over at him, I would always find him staring directly at me. What was he thinking, I wonder? He really is a mysterious guy. He didn't say a single word during practice, even when Captain told him to join. He just shrugged, closed his eyes and faced the ground.
Thinking about it again, that same thought pestered me like an itch that wouldn't go away:
Do I like him?
Again. It always pesters me. Whenever I think about Tsurugi, that same thought pops into my head. It was starting to get annoying.
Shinsuke and I started to walk home, chatting enthusiastically about practice earlier when suddenly a realisation dawned upon me which sent a chill run through my body.
'Oh no!' I exclaimed.
'Tenma, what's wrong?' Shinsuke asked.
'I left my bag in the soccer stadium!' I groaned, annoyed at the fact that I would have to go all the way back to get it.
'Oh, well I guess I'll just go on ahead.' Shinsuke said.
'I suppose. I'll see you tomorrow, then?'
'Yeah, see you!'
I turned and jogged back towards Raimon. It was still around 5:30, so the buildings shouldn't be locked and hopefully my bag is still in the changing room where I left it.
~Time Skip~
I finally made it to the stadium and opened the door. Thankfully, it wasn't locked. I walked in and headed into the changing room area. There it was! I gratefully picked it up and hoisted it over my shoulder. Suddenly, just as I was about to leave, I felt a presence from behind me. I spun around and saw Tsurugi standing in the corner of the room, silently staring at me. I yelled and leapt back, my heart racing. Tsurugi just looked back with a calm but menacing glare.
'T-Tsurugi? What are you doing here?'
'Why can't I be here?' he queried.
'N-No, I didn't mean that. I-I meant why are you still here? Everyone else's gone.'
'You aren't.' He said simply.
'B-But, I-I had to get my b-bag and…' I didn't know why I was nervous. Why was I stuttering every time I spoke?
An awkward silence filled the room for a few seconds before I finally decided to bite the bullet and ask him.
'What's your deal, Tsurugi?'
He looked at me with shock on his face, and then broke his gaze.
'W-Why should I tell you?'
'I just want to know. If we're going to be teammates…'
'I have no intention of playing with you.'
'What do you mean? Fifth Sector put you in Raimon, surely you're going to play with us?'
'Heh. Maybe one day. But that won't change anything. I'm on Fifth Sector's side, not Raimon's.'
'Why?'
'Huh? What did you say, Matsukaze?'
'Why are you working for Fifth Sector?'
He looked at me awkwardly and then sighed.
'I can't tell you.'
'Why?'
'Because I don't want to tell you my personal affairs.'
'O-Okay then.'
'Listen, Matsukaze. Why do you care?'
'I-I said before. If we're going to be teammates, I would like to know more about you.'
'And that's the truth?'
'Y-Yes.'
A few more seconds of silence, then Tsurugi started to laugh. It wasn't an outburst but it was loud enough to send waves of fear down my spine.
'You're a really bad liar, Matsukaze.'
'W-What are y-you talking about?' I started to feel really nervous, Tsurugi was started to frighten me.
'Stop lying. I know what you're really after.'
'W-W-What are you…?'
'It's obvious, Matsukaze.' He then smiled.
'You like me.'
Those words sent all sorts of thoughts going through my head, but hearing Tsurugi say that made me blush, and I felt really embarrassed.
'Hah! So you do.'
'N-No…' I turned my head away so I wasn't looking at him.
Tsurugi started to walk forward. It was a slow walk, but he was easily inches away from me in seconds. He reached out his hands and grabbed my jaw and pulled me to face him. But it wasn't a violent grab. It was gentle. It was caring. Did he really…?
'Tsurugi…'
'You're so cute, Matsukaze.'
Then, he inched his face closer and closer to mine and then pressed his lips against mine and passionately kissed me.
I could feel the blood rushing to my cheeks and I froze in shock for a few seconds, but then I replied. I kissed Tsurugi back, feeling his arm snaked around my lower back and pull me into the kiss more. As we stood there, I remembered that pestering thought in my head again:
Do I like him?
The answer?
Yes. Yes, I do.
Hope you enjoyed!
Like I said, probably not the best fic in the world, but I should get better. Thank you for reading and please review with any recommendations or criticisms you may have.
See you later!
