Epilogue Two: Three Months Later - Biggest Fan

Kuki's eyes widened with awe as she watched the game unfold before her. It was only practice, but it was thrilling nonetheless. Three months of dating had made her one of Wally's biggest fans - and why wouldn't it? He was cute. He was funny. He was sweet. And out in the soccer field? He was next to magnificent.

"Woohoo! Go Wally!" she couldn't help but cheer from the sidelines as she watched him zipping through the field, flashing past other players, the soccer ball bouncing and rolling under his command. She winced every time she saw other players in danger of his rage, and she gasped whenever there was a risk of injury against him, but for the most part, she cheered adoringly.

The first quarter ended, and the coach's whistle pierced across the field for a water break. The team moved in unison as all the players abandoned their post and jogged over to the water cooler, but just as Kuki predicted, Wally deviated from the crowd. She half-laughed and half-squealed when he sprinted towards her eagerly and tackled her onto his shoulders.

"Ew, you're sweaty," she teased after he put her down.

He drank from a water bottle that she brought just for him, and when he handed it back to her, she teased him by squirting water all over his head. He retaliated by shaking his head like a dog and sprinkling water all over her, and when she laughed and squealed, he caught her face with his hands and started kissing her.

They kissed for several seconds, sometimes tenderly, sometimes playfully, then the coach's whistle pierced across the air again.

"Wally, water break's over."

"Mhmm."

"Game's back on."

"Mhmm."

"The coach is calling you."

"Mhmm."

"Wally, GO, you'll get in trouble again!"

"Mhmm."

She was just about to give him another warning when the coach's voice boomed across the field.

"BEETLES GET YOUR ASS BACK OUT ON THIS FIELD OR YOU'RE RUNNING EXTRA LAPS FOR THE REST OF THE SEASON!"

Kuki laughed and gave him a playful but assertive push, but that didn't stop him from stealing one more peck before running back out to the field, laughing as he went.

Kuki placed her hands on her hips and sighed with a smile. She was hoping they could go on a mini-date right after practice, but she had a feeling that he was going to be sentenced to extra drills again. It wasn't the first time it happened this season, and it probably wasn't going to be the last.
