A/n: Now, onto Chapter 2! R/R please! Thanks!
Forgive me.
Chapter 2: Crowded
"Whoo! Zanarkand Duggles baby, yeah!" a young man shouted in the locker room in Zanarkand Dome. The locker room belonged to the champion team, the Zanarkand Duggles, who had just own the last game of the semi-finals. Now they were moving on to the championship. The young man popped open the cork to the wine bottle he was shaking up and wine spewed out and all over his teammates.
"Hey, Zeus! Watch it with that thing!" a girl shouted in anger, champagne spilling over her. Zeus roared with laughter as another young man approached him with five wine glasses.
"Oh, calm down, Isis, and have a drink! Show a little spirit! We are on our way to the championship! Whoo!" he whooped over Zeus's shoulder, causing Zeus to laugh and pour the bottle over his head.
"Hey, hey! Save some for the rest of us!" another girl shouted as she walked into the room, throwing a towel to the side and sat next to Isis. "Pass over those glasses, Seth." Seth passed the glasses out to the girls and Zeus as Zeus reached down for the other bottle of wine. Isis thanked Seth as he poured her glass and raised it in the air.
"To the Duggles!" she shouted in triumph.
"The Duggles!" her teammates hollered in repeated glory. They all washed down the drinks and toasted their neighbors' glasses with their own. Isis looked around the room and looked over to the girl next to her.
"Hey, Reline, where's Shuin?"
Reline looked around the locker room and to the two boys in front of her. "Yeah, where is Shuin at anyway?"
Seth shrugged. "He walked off after the game. Said he needed some time alone. He didn't even sign any autographs for the fans in the hall."
"Hmm, that's not like him at all. Maybe I should go check on him. Do you know where he is?" Isis asked, standing up.
Seth shook his head. "Don't know, but he probably went outside to get some air. Don't blame the guy either. Staying underwater for 4 minutes straight for 2 quarters each can do damage on your lungs."
Isis sighed, sitting back down. Reline looked over to her and scoffed. "Look, Shuin said he wants to left alone and I think we should respect that. Besides, he probably met some girl after the game and went to take her out to eat or something."
Isis looked over to her with a sad expression. "You don't really think that do you?"
Reline gave her a grimace. "You don't wanna know what I think he's doing.
Zeus laughed. "Or who."
Isis frowned at their laughter. She looked to the wall where a poster hung, showing all of them in their photo poses. She stared sadly at Shuin's image.
'I hope he's alright.'
Meanwhile, Shuin did not go on a date or get something to eat. He had gone to the dock, just on the outside of the city. He sat over the pier, periodically throwing small objects into the dark ocean that were next to him. When he finally ran out, he sighed, looking out into the sea. The night air came in over it, blowing his blonde hair back a bit and his bangs over his eyes. He looked down to his feet as they dangled over the edge of the quay.
He had won the game, as usual, scoring the winning goal. But tonight, he didn't feel like celebrating with the guys or girls. For some strange and unknown to him reason, he just felt the urge to be left alone. So he told Seth that he would meet up with them back home and he was going to get some air. He wondered around the city, not in the eye of the public but in the shadows of the metropolis. He stood up and brushed off his pants. He fixed his vest and looked one more time to the ocean, this time his eyes narrowed.
"Good night." He said softly. He turned and walked away, back into the elusive city.
He wasn't quite sure of whom he was speaking to that night. But he was compelled to.
Whoever he was speaking to, he'd hoped the wind would carry it to them.
A/n: oh, that is so sweet. Yes, I am boasting, sorry! R/R! I'll get ya'll Chapter 3 right away.
Forgive me.
