A/N: I haven't written anything in a very long time. Took the 30 kisses challenge to sort of stretch the muscle a bit. Please review, if you have time, with some constructive criticism.
Sena had ran so much every day that it had become a part of his life, he'd never realized he was going fast. Sure, he knew he was Getting Away or being On Time, but he never really thought of himself as fast. Never saw anything special.
And why would he? Sena is a runt of a kid, half Hiruma's height. Whatever made Hiruma glance twice at him long enough to see him run, Sena never knew. He is scrawny, a 'damn shrimp', as Hiruma calls him. But he can run.
Sena isn't sure when football changed from something Hiruma was forcing him to do into something that he wanted to do. Though facing a real opponent in Shin had had something to do with it, it wasn't quite the whole equation. Sometimes, Sena really felt like he was flying.
Similarly, Sena isn't sure when his fear of Hiruma turned to respect, or when the respect turned to something else altogether. And he never suspected Hiruma would look twice at him long enough to figure it out. Why would he? Sena is still a runt of a kid, and though he can run, he's still scrawny, too, a 'damn shrimp', as Hiruma calls him. But he can feel.
Sena isn't sure when whatever he had with Hiruma turned from something he was ashamed of into something he couldn't live without. Though facing himself through football and growing up had had something to do with it, it wasn't quite the whole equation. Sometimes Sena really felt like he was flying.
