Hmmmm... What to do, what to do? I'm sick, stuck at home, and bored as hell. Hmm... I KNOW! I'll write another fanfic! Genius cookie-kun strike again!
Gouenji sat on the couch in front of the tv, drinking a glass of water while flicking though channels. Nothing on, as usually. It was almost 4 in the afternoon, and he had nothing to do. His father was at work, friends were all busy, and Fuku-San was out picking Yuuka up from school. He turned off the tv and finish off his water, before sighing in boredom.
You're probably wondering why Gouenji wasn't at school. Well, the FFI finished a week again, so everyone was back home. The day that they came back was the last day of school for the year, so he didn't have school for the next 3 months. So you'd probably be thinking "oh sweet! Just came back from being crowned the best soccer team in the world, and now no school!" But having nothing to do each day, everyday, was getting really boring.
Suddenly, Gouenji heard the front door open. "Shuuya-san! We're home!"
He turned around and saw Yuuka and Fuku-san. "Onii-chan!" Yuuka yelled, before running over to her beloved brother and jumped on his lap, giving him a big hug. "I missed you."
"I missed you too," Gouenji replied, returning the hug. Fuku-san smiled at the two siblings sweetly. She had been working for the Gouenji family for many years, and she has always been amazed at how well Shuuya and Yuuka got along.
"Shuuya-san," Fuku-san said. "I'm just going to the shops to get some food. I'll be back in about an hour."
"Alright," Gouenji replied, still having Yuuka's arms wrapped around him.
Fuku-san picked up her keys and went out the door. Gouenji turned his attention back to his sister. He picked her up and sat her beside himself.
"So how was school?" He asked.
"Really good! I'm glad the holidays are soon though," she said with a smile. "Just a few more day."
"What did you do today?" Gouenji asked, smiling at her last comment.
"We had a running race in sports today, and I came first! And at lunch I played jump rope with all my friends, and I got the most jumps in a row. And then I got a spelling test back and I got all the words right!" Yuuka said excitedly.
"That's great. I'm glad you're having such a good time," Gouenji said.
"Oh, I almost forgot," Yuuka said. "We had a really weird class today. We were learning about growing up and stuff. And it was super weird and funny, because the teacher kept saying naughty words," Yuuka said, starting to giggle.
"What do you mean by naughty words?" Gouenji asked, a little confused.
"Um... She kept saying things like, um... What guys have... Down there, and stuff like that," Yuuka said, starting to laugh even more from remembering the class earlier on in the day.
Gouenji expression turned to shock. He was really confused about what was talking about, but then he realised. "Oh, you had a health ed class," he said.
Yuuka looked at her brother. "Health ed class?"
"Yeah, it's a class where you learn about the human body, and how it functions and grows, and how it changes when you get older," Gouenji explained.
"Oh, so that's why my teacher was talking about all that stuff. I thought we were learning about grammar, or something," Yuuka replied.
"That was probably a pre-lesson, getting you ready to learn about that stuff more next year," Gouenji explained.
"Ok, but onii-chan, I was getting confused during that class so I was wondering if you could go through the things with me I don't understand," she asked.
"Sure, I'll be happy to help," he said.
"Ok I'll go get my book," she said running over to get her book from her bag by the door. She came back and sat down next to her brother again and open her book.
Later on
Gouenji had answered all of Yuuka's questions about many different things, like what are healthy and non healthy foods, how the body grows and many more.
"Ok, is that everything?" Gouenji asked.
"Yeah, that's everything we learnt," she said, happy to finally understand everything.
"That's good," he replied.
"But I do have one more question," Yuuka said.
Gouenji looked at his little sister and asked, "Ok, what is it?"
"Well, this is just a question I thought of. We didn't really talk about it in class," Yuuka explained.
"Well what is it? I'll be happy to tell you."
Yuuka took a deep breath, then asked, "What is love?"
Gouenji stared at Yuuka, a little confused why someone her age would be asking this question.
"Well, okay. Um... Why do you want to know that?" He asked.
Yuuka looked down at her hands and replied, "Well, today I heard some of the older girls talking about boys and stuff like that, and how much they... well...loved them. But I don't really know what it means. Can you tell me?"
Gouenji sat up straight and cleared his throat, buying some time to think of an answer to Yuuka's question.
"Um... Maybe this is a good question to ask father," Gouenji said, trying to avoid the question after not being about to think of anything.
Yuuka gave her big brother the best puppy dog eyes she could do. "Please Onii-chan?"
Although Yuuka was young, she knew exactly how to get her brother to do whatever she wanted.
"Oh alright," Gouenji said, feeling defeated.
"YAY!" Yuuka squealed, jumping up and down on the couch.
"Ok ok, calm down," Gouenji said, having to force her to sit still. After he took a deep breath and started to explain, well, try to explain at least.
"Well, lets see... Um... Love is... Um... How do I put this?"
Gouenji was trying his best to explain, but he just couldn't. But then he got a small idea that could work.
"Ok Yuuka, you know the feelings you have towards me, and father and Fuku-san, right?" He asked. Yuuka nodded.
"Well that's love. The feelings you have towards your family and friends. You know the ones that care for you and look after you," Gouenji explained.
Yuuka stared at her brother for a few seconds, them started pouting.
"What's wrong?" Gouenji asked.
"I know what that love means," she moaned crossing her arms. "I want to know the... um... whats it called... the ... 'other' love. You know, the love that the older girls were talking about, to someone that's not in your family, you know..." She said trying to explain her thoughts.
Gouenji did know to begin with that that was the love she wanted to know, but he didn't want a girl her age knowing that kind of stuff. He didn't want to give her the image of two people 'making out' or something like that. But then he thought of something that wasn't too, graphic.
"How about I explain it though father and mother?" He said. Yuuka automatically stopped pouting and turned her attention back to Gouenji. "Well, way before you, or even I were born, mother and father had deep feelings for each other. Feelings that no one could ruin or brake. When you feel that way towards someone, you feel like they're the only person on this whole planet that you want to live for, the only person that's keeping you alive," Gouenji explained. Yuuka listened with great interest, moving closer and closer to her brother as explained.
Then Yuuka interrupted, "Oh I think I get it now! So it's like whenever your around that person, you feel weird?"
"Sort of. Well for some people yes, but the feeling is more like adrenaline, like your heart starts beating fast and you feel like you can't even speck."
Flashback
Gouenji sat in the golden sand behind The Inazuma Japan's lounge, staring at the still sea, watching the sun creep slowly down towards the horizon. He had always loved having some time by himself, just so he could think. He hadn't been able to have some time to himself for awhile because of all the practise he and his team were up to.
He could a deep breath and closed his eyes, before lying back on the sand and fell asleep.
Gouenji P.O.V
About an hour later, I could faintly hear my name being called.
"Gouenji... Gouenji... GOUENJI!"
I opened my eyes, before having them shot widen open when I saw two big brown eyes starting back at me. I got such a fright, I immediately sat up, accidentally hitting the person's forehead with mine.
"Ow... What was that for?" The person asked, rubbing his head. I couldn't see anything. The sun had gone down so I was finding it hard to see the person's face. I also rubbed my forehead where it was sore. My eyes finally started to adjust to the dark and I was finally able to see who woke me up. When I saw who it was, my heart started to beat incredibly fast. It was Endou (of course).
"Oh sorry Endou. You scared me," I said, still rubbing my forehead while looking down.
"Yeah, I probably should have woken you up some other way, sorry," he replied. "It you shouldn't be sleeping out here, you could catch a cold, and then you wouldn't be able to play in the next match."
I stopped rubbing my forehead and looked at Endou. Then he continued, "and we wouldn't be able to win without you," he said smiling. I was surprised about what he had just said. I started to blushed slightly. I was just glad that it was dark so Endou couldn't see.
"Well come on. It's dinner time," he said getting up and extended his hand out to me. I grabbed his hand and he helped me up off the sand. And quickly brushed off the sand from my clothes, then looked at Endou, who started to smile.
He then turned around and started walking towards the lounge as I followed behind. It always felt so weird when Endou and I were by yourselves. I always felt warm inside and it sometimes hurt my chest. I was concentrating so much on my thoughts, that I didn't see the branch sticking up out of the sand, and I accidentally got my foot caught in it, making me trip over. When I hit the ground, it didn't hurt as much as I thought it would. It felt kind of... Soft, and... Wait... Moving? I looked up and saw that I had fallen right on top of Endou! I must have fallen hard because I knocked him completely over. He was laying in his back while I was laying on his chest.
"Ow..." He moaned. I quickly got up and sat on the ground.
"Endou I am so sorry... I... I really didn't mean to do that. I mean... I couldn't see where I was going and..."
"Don't worry about it. I was an accident, right?" He said after sitting up.
I nodded slightly. We both got up and looked at each other.
"Come on," Endou said. "And this time, watch where you're going," he said, winking at me. I quickly looked down to hide my embarrassment. Endou continued to walk to the lounge, but I just stood still.
Why did I get so flustered when I fell on Endou? Endou turned around and yelled, "Come on Gouenji!" I snapped out of thought and jogged towards the lounge. 'It's probably nothing,' I thought.
End of flashback
Ok so basically this fic is going to be tons of flash backs of stuff during the FFI world tournament. I'll try and update as soon as possible! Hope you enjoyed it! See ya! :)
