M-Chan: Hey mina-san! Welcome to my very first fanfiction! Today it is a fic about my OTP, Nagumo Haruya (Burn) x Suzuno Fuusuke (Gazel)! This is my first real story so it isn't good, not at all… I just hope you guys enjoy it. The title is 'Hearts Combined', I know it's a bad title but I made the story first, before the title, so it always is bad then… The summary is also bad… Well, let's get started, shall we! But first… the disclaimer… Afuro-Kun?

Afuro: Fine… M-Chan V does not own Inazuma Eleven nor its characters, they all belong to level-5. Number two too?

M-Chan: There's a second one?! *sigh* We have to, don't we...

Afuro: Yep!

M-Chan: Sure...

Afuro: Okay, this story contains Yaoi so don't like, don't read!

M-Chan: Thank you very much Afuro-Kun! Now let's start the story!


Chapter one: The training session

It is only a few days until the final of the Asia Qualifications between Inazuma Japan and Fire Dragon, but Fire Dragon's strikers are still having problems with their newest offense Hissatsu: Chaos Break.

The problem is that Suzuno Fuusuke (also known as Gazel) can't get his timing right because he keeps getting distracted by a certain red-haired boy.

Suzuno has been having a huge crush on him since they merged their teams and formed Chaos together, the one we're talking is Burn or Nagumo Haruya, his former rival now teammate and best friend.

But Suzuno thought he'll get nowhere with him and is afraid of being rejected and being seen as disgusting, because that'll break their friendship and that's the last thing he wants…

But because of that he couldn't get his train of thoughts together so his timing was also bad…

Now it was the end of training with still no success nor progress on Chaos Break even though they practiced the whole training on it (they literally just wasted their time…), Suzuno was just about to head to his room when Aphrodi / Afuro Terumi called out for him…

"Something wrong, Aphrodi?" Suzuno asked when they were alone. All the other members, including Nagumo, had already made their way back inside the building (let's say it's kinda the same with Fire Dragon as it is with Inazuma Japan), either to their room to read a book or have some alone time or something or to the common room to talk with each other.

They stood in the middle of the field so that, if someone happened to enter the field, nobody could hear what they were saying. This was more of a benefit for Suzuno then it was for Afuro, but they still wanted to be sure.

"I wanted to have a little talk with you, nothing more!" Afuro answered smiling, but Suzuno knows him longer than today. He couldn't foul him, it was obvious he wanted to talk about something he himself knew all too well… however he couldn't grasp it.

"Uhmm, Aphrodi… what exactly are you up to…?" Suzuno asked, wondering what he was thinking about, knowing it was nothing in his benefit nor it could be anything good in any possible way for sure.

"Oh, it's nothing! Don't worry too much, okay. Don't want your timing to get even worse!" Afuro answered, his smile widened making it look more like a grin than a smile, now Suzuno was getting nervous, Afuro was acting strange, and actually a bit creepy too.

He wanted to know what he had to say, but he didn't want to die yet…

After a few seconds of silence he dared to ask him another question, hoping to get an answer out of him he could use. However, not without stuttering a bit because of the tone in Afuro's voice in his last sentence, which made him feel a little unsafe.

"I-Is it about my timing you wanted to talk?" He just got those words out of his mouth, only to be met with Afuro's smile that suddenly changed into more like a smirk.

"Partially… More clearly about Nagumo," he said hinting to something what Afuro himself thought was pretty obvious, however, the white-haired teen still couldn't grasp on what he really meant.

For that, Suzuno's nervous face changed into one with a more surprised expression. 'What is it about Burn I need to know something about?' He thought, wondering why Afuro came to him out of all people and not someone else. Okay, they are best friends, but so are they. And so are Nagumo and everyone else from Sun Garden.

So he asked what he really meant. "And what exactly do you want to talk about with me contrasting Burn?" He said as he planted his hands on his hips, trying to hide his surprised expression as best as possible.

Afuro took a step closer, quietly whispering: "I think you know that good enough…"

This made a shiver run down Suzuno's spine making him take a step back to bring them back to a normal distance, but that shiver wasn't only caused by the way Afuro made up that sentence, neither was it because they were so close it was getting uncomfortable. No… that wasn't it, it was just because he noticed what Afuro was talking about… He wanted to talk about his feelings for Nagumo. His face immediately heated up and the blood rushed to his cheeks, making him bright red at the spot. How did he knew this..?

Afuro smirked slightly, but kept quiet, enjoying the reaction of the white-haired boy.

"I see you noticed what I'm talking about," Afuro asked a few seconds later, his smirk only widened in that silence because of his, all too obvious, reaction that confirmed his thoughts.

Suzuno's head shot up, looking straight into the maroon-colored eyes of his fellow forward, but he quickly moved his gaze to the side and said: "What do you mean, I do not understand what you're talking about…"

Afuro smirked again, amused by the other boy's attempt to deny it, even though it is obvious he does know what he is talking about. I mean come on, nobody blushes like that for any reason other than their crush!

But knowing the other boy won't just give in to something this 'embarrassing', he didn't pressure him any further. The only thing he did before he left was saying: "We both know you like him and there's no need to deny that, but if I was in the same situation as you are now, I should confess before we have to play the final..."

After that he walked away, leaving Suzuno all alone on the field. His face only became redder and redder, he thought by himself: 'What should I do now? Should I listen to Aphrodi and confess to Nagumo? Or should I leave it?'

He walked to the exit, there was no need to be on the field anymore since practice ended a while ago. At the bench he stopped for a second, grabbing his towel and water bottle. After that he continued walking towards his room while debating in his head whether or not he should confess to Nagumo, he entered the building and heard his teammates talking about something in the common room, but he didn't mind, he continued walking to his own room, not feeling the need to begin a conversation with anyone right now.


M-Chan: Thank you all so much for reading! I'm really happy y'all took the chance to read this super bad so-called fanfiction, I'm actually not really proud at it myself, but yeah… If you liked it (what is hard to believe), you can always leave a review! Flames are completely welcome! I will start working on the next chapter as soon as possible, but for some reason I only get inspiration right before my exam period. My exams start next Monday the 10th of December… I'm gonna die!

Ps. I know this is kinda a 'weird' chapter, but that is just because I wanted to 'explain' Suzuno's feeling so I won't just bumb into the story straight away.

Pps. I am NOT a native English speaker and I'm only 13 years old yet, meaning that my English is BAD! (Advice for grammer is always welcome!)

Well, Cya!

Afuro: Bye!
