"So are you nervous?"

Sora asked Riku the next day. They were in the cafeteria eating their lunch. Sora sat beside Riku, he was looking at his friend sideways waiting for an answer.

Riku shrugged

"Not really."

Of course he wasn't, after all he was and had been the best player since the age of five. Sora looked up from his food when he saw Tidus making his way to their table. Tidus smiled and sat across from Sora on the round table.

"Hey guys!"

"Hey!" Sora greeted him cheerfully. Riku nodded.

Seeing Riku only nod to him, Tidus frowned and wondered if he had done something to upset his friend.

"What's up Riku? You seem," he thought for a second "distracted."

"He's just trying to stay focused. He has tryouts today."

Sora stated not giving Riku a chance to answer. Tidus didn't seem to mind or question Sora's answering for Riku. He just merely accept Sora's answer, after all it seemed like those two had one head instead of two. So without further pondering Tidus turned to his food and started eating.

"Hi guys!"

All three looked up from their food, to see Selphie sitting down with Kairi close behind. Kairi sat next to Selphie who had sat next to Tidus. The two seniors Riku and Kairi and the Juniors Sora, Tidus and Selphie sat together comfortably sharing conversation and gossip. Kairi watched as Tidus, Sora and Riku kept munching on their fries and hamburgers and made a face.

"Yuck! I don't know how you guys can eat all that grease."

She said she herself only eating a salad. Selphie who was also having the same as Kairi, looked up nodding her head in agreement saying.

"Yeah aren't you guys suppose to be athletes?"

Tidus only shrugged and stuffed a handful of fries into his mouth as if to prove he really didn't care.

"Yeah she's right."

Sora said. He leaned forward towards Riku taking a bite out of a fry Riku had been about to put in his mouth. Brushing his lips lightly on Riku's fingers in the process. Riku felt himself shiver at the feel of Sora's soft moist lips on his fingers. Though he recovered quicklybefore anyone actually tooknotice.

"Hey don't eat my food!"

"Well I'm not an athlete so I can eat what I want. Right?"

Sora asked innocentlyturning to Kairi and Selphie. Kairi only smiled and shook her head. Tidus had just started on his hamburger when he turned to Kairi and Selphie.

"You guys are just jealous 'cause unlike us you slacked off during the summer and now you have to get back in shape to be able to run and jump for basketball season. "

Kairi glared at Tidus, he was right she had slacked off during the summer and now had to get back in shape if she wanted to make the basketball team. She was even more jealous because it seemed, to her, as if her friends could eat and entire cow worth of hamburger and not gain one pound, where as she would eat one fry and gain five pounds and most likely break out, but she wasn't about to tell them that. Instead she turned to Tidus and opened her mouth to speak.

Sensing the argument which was surely to ensue as soon as Kairi opened her mouth. Sora quickly turned to Riku and spoke loudly bringing their attention to him.

"Hey Riku do you mind if I come to see you tryout?"

In truth Riku would have mind if Sora didn't want to see him tryout. Sora had been there every year Riku tried out and for some reason he found confidence in knowing Sora was there for him. Though instead of saying that, Riku only shrugged. Sora smiled turning to Tidus.

"Wanna come too?"

"Can'tcoach is making us run laps out in the track, says we're slackers and need to get in better shape before our first match."

Sora mouthed an 'okay' and turned expectantly to Kairi and Selphie. Kairi sighed.

"Sorry Sora but I'm stuck babysitting tonight."

Selphie also sighed sadly.

"As much I would love the chance to see a bunch of cute guys running around in shorts I can't. I have a chemistry test tomorrow which I haven't studied for."

"Oh well less distraction for Riku." Sora said brightly.

Sora sat on the bleachers overseeing the soccer field. He watched as the coach motioned to the boys who had shown up, and they gathered around him among them Riku looking very comfortable and confident. He couldn't really hear what the coach was saying, but he could tell he was giving them orders. Sora was right as soon as the coach blew his whistle the soccer playersscattered around.

Some began running laps others started practicing passes and head butts and other drills. Sora watched them practicing their drills thinking it looked very challenging . It wasn't as if Sora wasn't good at sports, sports had just never really interested him much. He actually knew a lot about soccer, and soccer moves mostly due to the fact that his two best friends were obsessed with the sport they insisted he call Futbol. He usually helped Riku practice, not with actual moves, but his work-outs. He liked working out with Riku. Running, weight lifting, even swimming if it weren't for Riku he'd be in terrible shape.

Sora focused on a silver headed boy who was doing all the drills with ease. He looked so serious, so focused. The only thing he was probably thinking about was the field and the ball. All in all he was amazing and Sora loved to watch him play, it was almost as if seeing a wild animal in his natural habitat.

After a few more drills the coach blew his whistle and all the players gathered around him once more. Sora knew what was going to happen they were going to be split into teams and play against each other. Taking his gaze away from the field Sora leaned back against the bleachers and reached down with his right hand, pulling his back pack to his lap. He took out a book.

"Might as well get started on this."

He said to himself and buried his face in his homework. While Riku played the sport he was born to play.

Down in the field Riku felt free. He had no worries, no friends, no school, no homework, nothing. Just him and the ball and obstacles. Obstacles who were at the moment the other team. Riku had loved the sport of Futbol ever since he could remember. No other thing he did ever gave him the rush Futbol brought.

To him the ball wasn't just an object he kicked around, it became a part of him. He covered the field running, kicking the ball lightly and at times harder. Maneuvering the ball away from his opponents and closer to his goal. Twisting and turning and passing the ball to keep it safe. All to achieve the purpose to score a goal.

Even though the ball was a part of himself he knew he couldn't win alone, he acknowledged the value of his teammates and that acknowledgment was what made Riku an exceptional player. Most players when they were as good as Riku tended to forget they were on a team not in a solo sport, that type of thinking only serve to cost them the game. Team work was truly essential in this sport. Riku was a true master of team work anticipating his teammates moves, learning how to read their body language. Making it easy for them to read his. Using all his skills to make most out of the simplest play.

Most of the guys trying out knew what they were doing, having played the sport in previous years, Riku didn't have to worry about them. Though some of them seemed nervous and out of practice those were the ones he had to worry about, after all the team was only as good as it's worst player.

Though some were better then others, they all shared a common bond, the love of the game. So they played, giving it their all. Running up and down the field, yes some were indeed nervous, but watching Riku play made them want to be worthy of playing next to him. Riku had the ball at the moment drawing closer to the goal, he knew if he wanted to score he had to pass there were to many people trying to get the ball from him and he didn't have a good angle to shoot into the goal.

He looked around quickly scanning the field, and with quick and light footwork he gave himself enough room to kick the ball to one of his team mates. The boy had been watching Riku, and had made eyed contact before Riku shot the ball his way, and was ready. He jumped catching the ball with his chest, as the ball fell softly to the ground, he shifted his body and with a clear shot at the goal he kicked and scored.

A blow of the whistle indicated the end of the game, Riku stopped to catch his breath, and the coach waved them over to him.

"Okay guys that was awesome good teamwork that's what I want to see. Tomorrow I'll post the list out side my office. Now go home and get some rest."

With that the group broke, Riku walked over to his gym bag and took out a water bottle, setting it down between his feet. His shirt was plastered to his body with sweat, so he decided to take it off. He took out a small towel and draped it over his shoulders, throwing his shirt inside his bag. He swung his gym bag over one shoulder and leaned down to pick up his water. After straightening up he looked up at the bleachers spotting Sora with his head buried in a book He smiled and started walking up towards his best friend.

Sora had heard the whistle blowing, signaling the end of the game and practice, that had been about ten minutes ago. Inhaling deeply he shut his book closing his eyes, stretching lazily, with his hands above his head. He opened his eyes and froze.

Riku was walking towards him without his shirt a towel draped over his shoulder, gulping water down, obviously too fast as some water dripped from his lips he wiped his mouth and continued walking, smiling gently at Sora. It was really a sight to be hold. Though it wasn't a sight Sora was not used to seeing. It was the sight of Riku shirtless, that had triggered a memory in Sora's head. Sora swallowed hard feeling his mouth go dry, unable to look away from Riku, unable to put his arms down. He had lost all feeling in his body only one thing kept repeating in his head. His dream. The person in his dream...

"It was Riku."

Sora hissed out barely audible to his own ears.

M.C. He-he I know I'm evil. Short chapter kinda . No? Well I do like writing long chapters but if you guys want short ones like this one I can try. And I also want to apologize to any of you Soccer fans out there about the lack of knowledge about the sport.

Jin: Really with the family and people you hang out with you should be ashamed

Demak: What he means is that M.C hangs out with like hardcore Soccer fans and yet knows nothing about the sport.
