Eren, at first, absolutely resented D'jok constantly following her around. really, she was grateful for the company, sometimes, but usually he was more annoyingly protective than Warren, and he was her big brother.

Eren ducked as the ball sailed over her head.

"You were suppose to catch that," D'jok called.

"How in the world was I suppose to catch that?" Eren exclaimed, throwing her hands into the air.

"I don't know, magic?" D'jok suggested. Eren rolled her eyes and walked off the field

¨You can quit following me whenever you want,¨ Eren told D'jok as he walked a few feet behind her.

¨Maybe I just want to talk to you. Ever think of that?¨ he replied, walking faster to match her pace. She rolled her eyes.

¨So,¨ he continued. ¨Do you ever do anything besides play football?¨

¨I watch it.¨ Eren told him, then ran up to catch up with her peers, leaving D'jok in the dust.

¨Rude,¨ he muttered to himself, then continued to mess around long after his students were gone.

he was about to leave when Eren appeared.

"I'm going to promise you a gift if you win," she told him. D'jok was about to ask what that was suppose to mean, but before he could, she disappeared.

…..

¨And with that, the Snowkid's win the game. This makes it the third time they won the cup!¨ D'jok broke out into a smile. He wasn't sure that they would make it.

¨We did it!¨ he yelled and pumped his fist into the air. Warren slapped him on the back and smiled down at him. He seemed to trust him after D'jok coached his little sister. There didn't seem to be any hard feeling between Warren and D'jok, even though Warren was beat by the Snowkids.

¨Ẅe did good,¨ he said. D'jok nodded and let his eyes rest on Eren, who was running up to give her brother a hug.

"You have a good coach, I wouldn't want anyone else to teach you," Warren looked down at his little sister and smiled at her.

"He's not my coach, yet," she looked down.

"Until the paperwork goes through," D'jok added for her.

"Details, details."

¨That was awesome. I'm so proud of you,¨ she told Warren, her voice muffled as she pressed her face into his shoulder. D'jok found himself wishing that he was the one being hugged, then quickly pushed that thought out of his. He was her teacher for funk's stake.

¨So Eren, do you think that you will be here in a couple of years?¨ D'jok asked her, not wanting to be left out.

¨I don't know, it would be weird being on the same team as my former couch.¨

¨He's going to be long retired then,¨ Tia added.

¨Hey!¨ D'jok shouted. She smiled at him and walked away.

¨Just for the record, I'm only a few years older than her, and seventeen, I highly doubt that I will be retired,¨ D'jok added.

Warren laughed and walked away. Eren casted one last look at D'jok and smiled at him in a flirtatious way, before running to catch up with her older brother.

What was the smile suppose to mean? That question bothered D'jok for the rest of the evening. Until he found out.

...

D'jok was the last one to enter the party. Everyone turned to him and cheered.

¨I can't believe we won!¨ Ahito said, a grin on his face. Everyone was smiling non stop since the end of the game. D'jok didn't know how everyone else felt, but he was glad that it was over. Not that he didn't love the game, but the stress was really wearing him down. Now that the finals were over, he had more time to work with his team instead of practicing without much breaks.

¨If we don't win next year, I'm going to personally kick all of your butts,¨ Warren stood up and said. That got a laugh from everyone.

¨Trust me, we'll win,¨ Rocket said, with no hint of anything but sincerity in his voice. The group continued on talking and joking well into the night. D'jok smiled and laughed with the rest of the group, but he couldn't get Eren's face out of his mind.

¨D'jok, you're distracted,¨ Rocket said, appearing behind D'jok.

¨I'm not distracted, just thinking,¨ he replied. Rocket looked at him for a long time, looked like he was going to say something, but shrugged and walked off.

"You should be celebrating," Rocket told him.

"I am, I just decided to take a short break," D'jok replied,

¨If you need anything, just come to me. That's what coaches are for,¨ he added before going to talk to Thran and Tia.

D'jok dwelled on Rocket's words a few moments longer. He thought about how just being a coach and help the kids further along how their football skills wasn't going to cut it. He needed to be there for them, like how he was with Eren. He just couldn't harass them, like he did with Eren. Crap.

Suddenly, something tackling him, distracting him from his thoughts. He tried to fight back, but whatever it was, it pinned him to the ground.

¨What the-,¨ who even tackled him pressed their lips to his. D'jok freaked out until he realized it was Eren. Nothing bad was going to happen to him. D'jok returned the kiss, pressing a hand to the small of her back and pressed her closer.

She broke away suddenly and looked at D'jok with soft eyes.

¨I promised you a special gift. I give you my heart,¨ she told him, her breath smelled of mints, D'jok noted. D'jok looked at her with tender eyes and kissed her. He never had a girl that was willing to give him her heart. He decided that he was going to make an effort to keep Eren.

¨Um, guys?¨ Ahito said. D'jok forgot that they had an audience. The pair stood up, their faces beet red. D'jok's teammates faces ranged from shocked to scandalized to amused. D'jok felt like his face was on fire.

¨Well, that was an exciting way to end the night,¨ Rocket noted.

...

I hoped everyone enjoyed. If you did R&R. If you didn't, I would love to know why.
