Yup Im on a roll, kidding, I started this right after chapter one who knows when I finish.

Sato- A wise man once said….

Me- Ok hush you, you are not really part of this story. Jordan! Come take him away.

Sato- And here I was going to complement you for finally writing in the characters point of view and adding at least some sort of description.

Me-Reall..really? I have impro..

Sato- Yeah yeah don't get ahead of yourself.

Nakatsu's POV-

Sano really has upgraded this apartment is big. Well not really that big, I have seen much bigger, even my apartment had more space. But considering how expensive California is, its not that bad. I step back and analyze what will be my room from now on. As to be expected the room is neat, lets see how long that lasts, and…well boring...I mean professional. The room was made up of a single bed and a dresser, that unless Sano had told me beforehand, I would have sworn it was new. He just had to choose to decorate it all in a very, very dull grey. My coach back home would love this room.

I throw my self on the bed and stretch. Finally, a room to myself! I mean it was not bad sharing with Taiki but once I entered college and the junior league*, let's just say some people just weren't made to live with other.

Suddenly I hear the entrance door open an angelic voice.

"Sano tell me! Is it Shin?"

"Maybe."

"Oh come on! I know it not Nakatsu, he would have spilled during the wedding! Plus he is super busy with all his soccer tournam…" I can already picture, my Mizuki, my perfect feisty little…

*smack* "Oww" I mutter. Yes I just smacked myself in the face and it hurt…a lot. When they were dating it was wrong but seriously Nakatsu! They are engaged…engaged! I keep smaking myself, I will stop this. This is nothing compared to the pain I will feel if I don't get rid of these feelings.

"I just heard a smacking….omg!" She shrieked "Nakatsu!"

That's how she found out. I can feel my jaw dropping as she opened the room door wide.

"Welcome to America!" She says jumping oddly.

Don't hug her, don't ruin it, but shes just..so…so cute! Before I know it I have her in a bear hug, swinging her around and I'm pretty sure there is tears in my eyes. At this point she has gone stiff and probably wants me to put her down but I don't. I just continue squeezing her until well Sano hits me.

Oh right she broke her leg recently, I put her down on the floor as softly I can. Once she is stable she starts smacking me, as usual.

"What are you doing here?" She asks, full of curiosity.

"Remember how I trained here once back in high school? I kept in touch with one of the players and it seems that they were lacking in players. My coach and theirs talked and well ba da boom here I am."

"And….thats a good thing? Right?" She says, hesitantly.

"Yes Mizuki" I sigh "it's a good thing.

She still looks at me suspiciously, really Mizuki?

"Sano! Help me out here!" I shout out to my friend that's in the kitchen doing something.

"I am a solo sport guy, even I don't understand."

"Ok, ok" I raise up my hands in a defeat as I walk over to the couch and Mizuki follows right behind.

The apartment is a comfortable size so no room is far from each other, rather the kitchen and living room are all technically the same room. Literally nothing separates the two rooms, it even has the same tile floor. I can see Sano fumbling around the kitchen just fine from where I am seating.

"Ok" Mizuki says "Now explain."

"Hmm where to start? Ok so as you may know Spain are basically the dominant country when it comes soccer," she nodded but her expression said no I continue "to the point where they are almost impossible to defeat. Almost, not to brag but I scored plenty points against a visiting team. Just saying."

"Right..." Mizuki said not impressed. But that's because she doesn't understand like my mom, but unlike my mom she focuses on the bigger picture….hopefully.

"But there is a coach from Madrid here, Madrid is like a really big city in Spain.."

"It's the capital, go on."

"Yea right, the capital ok..so yeah he is from there and he is coaching in Berkley University. They were able to squeeze me in and I didn't really have to pay much. Then I reached out to Sano who, well apparently was in need of a roommate and here I am!"

It took a second for her to process it all but then explained "Ugh yeah sure that's sounds great! I am so proud of you!"

Her smile is honest and sincere, all my worries just fade away. She truly is the best. I hold back the desire to hug her again and instead cry which causes her to get uncomfortable.

"Ok, ok foods ready you two wierdos." Sano says taking over the last plate to the small table round table. In the center there is a lace table cloth with a tiny vase decorated with pebbles, obviously Mizuki decorated the kitchen and living room.

The food looks…very healthy. Not bad, the meat smells delicious but I cant even tell where its from.

"Sorry, it smells great but…like….what is it?"

"Lettuce wraps." Sano says like if I have an idea what that is.

"Right?"

"Eat it"

"Makes sense." I say with a shrug and do just as I am told. I grab a piece of lettuce that is stuffed with meat and shove it in my mouth and proceed to choke on it. Sano runs to get me a cup of water while Mizuki attacks I mean 'pats' my back

"Ok, Im good, Im good." I say.

"Ok I said eat it not shove it." Sano says.

"Sorry father"

There is an awkward silence broken by a sudden burst of laughter.

"Aw Nakatsu, we missed you."

We who knew a word can hurt so much.

"So, talking about "we" why isn't we a thing yet." I say grabbing them both in a group hug because I hate myself…

"Well it was going to happen we even started to prepare but, but you know I didn't you know, want to wobble down the isle." Mizuki points to a barley visible scar on her leg.

I take a deep breath as I remember the call. It was about a week after the wedding/ proposal when I had received the message from Shu about the opening. I called Sano right away and he had said that he would take care of it, he was just a little busy with an important matter. After annoying him for about an hour and managing to have him NOT hang up on me I was informed that an 'acquittance' had taken a bat to Mizuki's leg, explanation given – its Mizuki are you really surprised?

I really want to ask, but I shouldn't. I know I wont be able to control my anger and from what I understand this fool has friends in high places.

"Well tomorrow or next year, its going to be amazing I know it because you two are just amazing." With that I hug them again. I hold back tears, I cant cry I already cried enough today…and in general. How much can I cry over the same person. "Ok so" I clap my hands , happy topic…happy topic. "When do I get to meet ugh Takimaki? And his….what was it 10 siblings?"

Mizuki laughed "he doesn't have 10 siblings! Its more like…" starts to count.

"10" Sano and I say in union.

"That must be nice to have so many siblings, I always wanted a younger sibling."

"You would be have made a very good older…"Mizuki is interrupted by a knock on the door.

"Room service." The manly voice on the other side of the door said.

I turn to them confused, but they just left.

"Its him."

With that Sano goes to open the door to the man that almost got him arrested.

I kept writing because my word count kept saying I only had 200 something words, but by the third page I realized that it had frozen up. Oops.

*sorry I know nothing about soccer just read two articles and so yeah…pardon the ignorance.

Nakatsu- You did ok, heres a cookie

Mizuki – Wheres my cookie?

Nakatsu- Ah um *takes back cookie* well you are on a diet

Me-
