a/n: its still enkaze day and this is my contribution to the ship. its kinda rushed and short but I did a thing on a ship day I'm proud cuz I always forget/miss it.

Endou was very predictable. He wasn't that complex to read, Kazemaru had come to learn that after spending years by his side.

If you even utter the word soccer around him, that boy would beginning jumping up and down, expecting you to play with him. He would say it was training, but if the person was younger, maybe even consider teaching in his own unique way.

School was something that put him to sleep. Studying had that effect on him to. It was hard to find the boy not sleeping in one class out of the whole day. How he could manage a quick nap while the teacher was yammering on, that was a mystery.

Endou always found a way to walk by the river bank. It was a special spot of his. He'd go there to think, to play, to train, to learn, to do almost anything.

Kazemaru was fairly sure that he could even read his emotions to. While he couldn't predict them, it was easy to tell just what he was feeling and when.

When he was happy, it was easy to see. His smile was bright, eyes glistening with hope and wonder, and he could never stay still. He was ten times more energetic than ever before.

And when he was saddened, he wore the frown on his face. There were times when he tried to hide it, force a smile, but they never were the same. His usual energy seemed nonexistent and he was definitely more distracted than ever to.

Determination always seemed to be on his face. When he wasn't smiling, he was thinking, focusing on something. Soccer probably. A new technique, something his grandfather had left behind, anything.

Yet, there were times when even he, his best friend, could not predict nor understand this soccer loving dork.

Endou was happy, Kazemaru could tell. That smile really gave it away.

"What did you accomplish this time?" The defender asks, ready to listen to his overly enthusiastic tale over any feat.

"I managed to stop Gouenji's Fire Tornado! You should have seen it!" He begins to go on and on about how amazing it was. How the shot was stopped without a hissatsu. Even Kazemaru had to agree, that was pretty amazing. He could never stop one of those shoots without a technique.

"You're really amazing, Endou. I could never do something like that. You're always growing and I admire that."

"Hehe." A sheepish smile graces the goalkeepers face. "I'm glad you think so. Hearing that makes me really happy. But you're great to, Kazemaru. Don't forget it."

Next would come a hug. Kazemaru was always greeted with one after giving out a compliment and being reassured that he was fine just the way he was. He enjoyed it. The hugs from Endou managed to fill his body with warmth, as if the other was sharing his bright energy with him.

But that hug did not come.

Instead, a pair of warm and rough lips were greeting his. It was very sudden and their lips didn't meet perfectly, especially since Kazemaru was not expecting this to come from Endou. At all.

When Endou had pulled back, he was greeted with a shy yet happy smile, pink tinting his cheeks. Kazemaru was certain that his face was definitely colored with red accompanied by a shocked look on his face.

"See you tomorrow, Kazemaru!"

And then he was dashing off. No explanation, no nothing. He had left Kazemaru in a blushing state, a hand gently touching his lips. Had Endou really just kissed him out of the blue?

He tried to imagine what Endou was thinking as he had done such an outrageous yet loving action. And he even dared to imagine if he could build up the courage to ask for another. Not even he could think of his response to that.

Maybe Endou really wasn't as predictable as he thought he was. The thought made Kazemaru smile; he really was full of surprises, wasn't he?
