Me: YO MINNA!
Alice: HEY THERE!
Flora: Hello!
Me: I cannot believe how many people suddenly liked my story! Probably because it isn't Kidou x Gouenji ;-;
Alice: The ship might get popular... One day...
Flora: Um.. The Authoress owns nothing except her OCs, all characters belong to their rightful owners... Enjoy!
~Beginning of Chapter~
The four captains got ready to play football again, though one of them was less enthusiastic than the rest.
Gazelle stretched his limbs and smiled at the satisfying crack of his bones.
"Now that we're finally out of bed, let's go practice!"
Hirpto, Gazelle and Burn all went along but Midorikawa took his time walking, he really didn't want to play football, in fear of his brother taking control, he was actually quite surprised as to how quickly it affected him, but he didn't care, he knew his brother was dead and the fact that he came out and he couldn't see him or touch him wounded Midorikawa deeply, he knew he was there, but Midorikawa couldn't do anything.
"Hey Midorikawa! Which team do you want to go on?"
The midfielder looked up and saw the two teams, he didn't want to disappoint them, but he was far too scared, hopefully they would listen to him this time and not pressure him into doing something he doesn't want to do.
"Um, I'd rather not play today, you guys can practice without me."
"Pfft! Yeah right! Come on Midorikawa!"
Hiroto stared at the teams in shock, did they not realise what happened yesterday? He was not letting them force Midorikawa into this.
"Hold on!"
The players went silent and looked at the former aliea captain.
"If Midorikawa doesn't want to, then you won't force him to, he clearly doesn't want to play! Remember what happened yesterday?! Does it not bother you at all?!"
All the team members looked at the ground, clearly guilty.
Midorikawa hated this, he kept making everyone feel bad, feel terrible, feel awful, if he did this then wouldn't it be better if he left?
'Wow okay Midorikawa! Going way too dark and deep there!'
But it wasn't just that, sure he liked feeling protected, but all the time? He felt so useless, so vulnerable to everything and everyone! Like he said protection is nice, but 24/7? Not happening!
'A bit late for that~'
'Quiet conscience!'
'But it's true~ Saginuma and Hiroto are guarding you all day everyday~'
'They don't mean anything bad from it, they're just trying to protect me.'
'Yes but they must know when enough is enough~! You'll never learn to fend for yourself~'
'Well...'
'What would happen if one day neither Hiroto or Saginuma were there? If no one was there~? What would you do then~?'
'...'
'You should listen to your brother more often Midorikawa, it will do you good~'
...
...
...
...
...
'WAIT WHAT?!'
'OW! SHUT UP!'
'YOU'RE TALKING TO ME?!'
'THAT'S KINDA HOW COMMUNICATION WORKS! GOD DAMMIT BE QUIET!'
'But this isn't possible...'
'Well it's true, deal with it~'
Midorikawa narrowed his eyes at the use of bad language, Reize never, ever said anything like that in front of him.
'No, no you're not my brother, my brother would never talk to me like that...'
'I am your brother~! You try being stuck in my body with absolutely nothing to do except stand there~!'
'No, you aren't my brother... Just who are you? What are you doing to my body?'
'... Heh, you know you're quite smart, for someone who is so naive, let's just say I found Fubuki Shirou's little brotherly problem fascinating, I was the one who burned down the restaurant, so your siblings souls could transfer to you.'
'UGH! NO! GET OUT OF MY HEAD!'
'Fine, but before I leave, here's a thank you present for being my test subjects, you are by far the most interesting of them all, Midorikawa Ryuuji.'
Midorikawa waited to see what would happen, and for a while nothing did, he started to relax and calm down, but the football was kicked to him by accident, one of the teammates said.
"Oops, sorry! Midorikawa! Could you get us that ball please?"
Midorikawa stared at the sphere shaped object in front of him, he tensed, his breathing quickened and his heart beat faster, it was so noticeable that all the players immediately saw the changes and ran towards the midfielder when they heard him scream whilst holding his pounding head.
Everyone shouted.
"MIDORIKAWA!"
The same effect happened to Gazelle, he held his head and gritted his teeth, trying to stop any sound from coming out, but failing miserably, Burn hugged and stroked his icy rival, attempting to calm him down, it worked, but just a bit.
The two players fainted from the pain, Burn held onto Gazelle and Hiroto held Midorikawa, the last words Midorikawa screamed out were.
"REIZE! HELP ME!"
...
...
...
...
...
Nothing was said, for those who didn't know tried to figure out who Reize was, but Hitomiko, Saginuma, Yagami, Burn and Hiroto all knew who that person was, they wasted no time to getting Midorikawa and Gazelle to bed, where they could comfortably rest, to everyones surprise and shock, it was Burn who gently lifted Gazelle, his face was filled with worry, concern but most of all... Love.
~Burn-kun! Gazelle-kun! Please fall in love!~
"What happened Gazelle?" muttered the fire striker, as he looked at someone whom he deeply loved and cared about, and yet they couldn't even be friends.
"I wish I knew Burn, I wish I knew." said Gazelle who had only recently woken up, but still felt weak.
"If this keeps happening every time I step on a football pitch I may as well not play at all..."
Burn gasped and widened his eyes, he took hold of Gazelle's hand and squeezed it.
"Don't say such things Suzuno!"
Now it was Gazelle's turn to widen his eyes, Burn hadn't called him Suzuno in so long, he must be serious.
"If you won't play football I won't play football either! I'd much rather be on a team with just you by my side whilst facing millions of foes, then not play with you at all! I'd rather see a stoic expression on your face, then one filled with pain! I'd rather die knowing you're happy! Then live and know you're broken! Without being able to fix you! Suzuno please... I... I love you."
Suzuno was speechless, what could he say? Should he also reveal his feelings? Did he even have any feelings for the red haired boy in front of him?
'There's no doubt about it.'
...
...
...
...
...
The silence was making Burn feel uneasy.
'He doesn't love me, does he?'
"I love you too, Nagumo-kun."
Nagumo gasped as he looked at Suzuno, who was shockingly enough giving Nagumo the most beautiful and kind smile he had ever seen.
Slowly slowly, Nagumo leaned closer to Suzuno, who also leaned closer slowly closing their eyes.
Their lips made contact as it sent sparks throughout their bodies, the kiss was sweet and gentle, but heated and passionate.
Nagumo took advantage and hovered over Suzuno, making the icy striker have to lie down, he was clutching Nagumo's shirt and moaned when Nagumo's tongue went to his neck and licked it.
~I'll leave the rest to the imaginations of the readers!~
"Midorikawa..."
The midfielder had not yet woken, and looked as pale as the sheets, he was sweating and panting furiously, as if he were having a nightmare.
Hiroto felt responsible and guilty, had he been near Midorikawa and paid close attention to him then none of this would have happened.
He leaned in and kissed Midorikawa's forehead, then whispered.
"I love you Midorikawa, I'm just too scared to tell you."
