Hahaha... Sorry for the late update... Lazy-ass writer. Well now I've done the second chapter and...
Hope you like it! :)
School has already ended and all of the students are heading home. Tsurugi, along with Aoi and Shinsuke were also going home from practice.
"Ah, today's practice is even harder than before… I think I'm gonna faint any second." complained Shinsuke when they were walking out of the school gates. Both of his friends only chuckled at his complain and continued walking.
"Really? I don't think so." Tsurugi replied while eyeing the shorter one. Shinsuke puffed his cheeks and walked faster. "There he goes again, pouting like a baby." Tsurugi joked. Aoi only laughed at their behavior. As they reached the school gate, the striker saw a familiar boy walked pass them. Tsurugi's eyes followed him.
'It's Matsukaze. I wonder where he lives.' Tsurugi thought.
"Tsurugi? What's wrong?" Aoi asked. Tsurugi glanced at them and smiled, "Uh, I just remembered I left something in class. You guys go ahead." He lied and ran back into the school building. Both Aoi and Shinsuke continued walking without suspecting anything. Just as they left the school gates, Tsurugi ran out of the building and traced Tenma's trail.
The navy-haired slowly followed the other, trying not to be noticed. After a few minutes of walking, Tenma stopped in front of a house. 'Maybe that's his house...' Tsurugi thought. A few moments later, he heard a dog barking. 'Dog?' He slowly turned around and saw Tenma with a dog in front of him.
"Yo." Tenma greet and continued, "Do we live in the same area or are you just stalking me?" He pressed the 'stalking' word while talking, making Tsurugi gulped. "I… Uh… I was just…"
Before he got the chance to finish his sentence, Tenma was releasing the leash from his dog's collar. The striker was starting to panic and blurted out any sentence he could think of, "I was just wondering if you wanna play soccer with me tomorrow?" Tenma looked at his dog and then glances at the striker. Both of them were looking at each other, surprised. 'I wanna die…' Tsurugi thought.
Then Tenma started laughing, "Hahaha, are you sure that's why you're following me? That's stupid you know!" Tsurugi's eyes widened, 'Is he really laughing? Or just faking it?' He carefully thought. Tenma was still laughing and this time being followed by his dog's barking.
"S-Sorry Sasuke, it's just… Pfft- Hahahahaha!" He continued laughing. Tsurugi's face was starting to become red, "H-Hey! Stop laughing already! I mean it okay?" He shouted and the brunet stopped laughing.
"Still, that sentence of yours is truly stupid." He pointed out. 'That's because you were using your dog to scare me!' Tsurugi shouted inside his head and crossed his hands.
"What? You're pouting now?" The brunet asked and Tsurugi shifted his eyes to the sky. "Nope, just wondering why Shinsuke was scared of you." He answered. Tenma tilt his head a little and came closer to Tsurugi, "Shinsuke? You mean the small guy in our class?" The navy-haired nodded and turned to Tenma.
"So, you wanna play tomorrow? Shinsuke said your skill was amazing." Tenma's eyes widen, 'He's still on to that point?' He thought and looked down, finding his shoes were more interesting to look at. "Um, sure…" He answered.
A thought came across Tenma's head and he quickly looked at Tsurugi, "W-Why don't we play now? We can play while taking Sasuke out for a walk!" Tsurugi was surprised to hear this and smiled, "Sure, I got no problem with that."
Soon, the two of them were playing soccer at the nearest field to Tenma's house. Sasuke was running around along with both of them.
"Sasuke, steal the ball from Tsurugi!" Tenma pointed at the ball and Tsurugi smirked, "There's no way a dog can steal the ball from me!" Tenma stood there with a calm expression and give out a grin, "Oh really?" Tsurugi looked down and noticed the ball is missing. "What?"
Sasuke barked and brought the ball towards Tenma, who took it and quickly brought it to the other side and scored. The striker's eyes widen at both of them. "What?" Tenma giggled and patted Sasuke's head. "I've been training Sasuke to play soccer you know?" He smiled and walked to Tsurugi.
Tsurugi was still awe after what happened. "Come on, Sasuke, time to go home!" Tenma called his dog and then stop; he stared at Tsurugi and waved a hand in-front of him, "Hello, earth to Tsurugi… you there?" He called. Tsurugi blinked his eyes and looked at the brunet, "Yeah, I'm here." He called back.
"Aren't you going home? It's almost dark." Tenma tilt his head towards Tsurugi's direction, allowing some light to make his eyes looked like sparkles. Tsurugi was taken aback by his eyes and quickly turns his face away, "Y-yeah… I'm going home now… Bye." He replied and started running. Tenma and Sasuke just watched the striker as his figure was disappearing into the dark.
"What was that about?" Tenma asked himself and started to walk home with Sasuke. Tenma looked up at the sky and smiled, 'That was fun... I hope we could-' the brunet's smile started to fade away and his eyes were now tearing up. "No... That's impossible." He whispered to himself. Sasuke started whining and was circling his owner.
Tenma continued crying thinking only one thing, 'I'll never have friends...' He looked up again and stopped crying, "It's because I've shut myself from other people." He closed his eyes, and opens them up again, 'Ever since that day...' he started walking, slowly followed by his dog.
Well... how was it? Hope you guys like it and please no flames.
