Swampman's notes:
I lied :/ At the end of the first chapter I said I'd update this in about a week, and what is it now? About two months later? .orz
Crappy moodswings are crappy and shit isn't going like I want it to go (i know this is the Internet and nobody needs your whining, Swampman) So, yeah, I'm late D:
Anyways, bro, here's chapter two, sorry for any OOC-ness.
Also, Tsunami is supposed to appear in Inazuma Eleven Go ;u ; goddammit, wish Tachimukai would appear too 3
DERP, SUDDEN TOPIC CHANGE. My friend got me 4 packs of Inazuma Eleven trading cards, bro, my life is complete.
Enjoy, motherfuckers ;u ;
A night had passed, a night filled with soft whispering voices, voices softly crying out each other's names before they were silenced by locking lips. They both knew that after that night had passed, they would only have six days left with each other. Tsunami didn't know Tachimukai had heard him talking the day before, so the only thing he could do was hope, hope that he would smile for the next six days, and hope that he wouldn't be mad if their final day had finally come.
Tsunami shifted his body closer to his sleeping beauty, pulling the boy closer to his chest and running his fingers through his golden brown locks. He smiled when he saw the boy clutch at his shirt, softly whispering his name before smiling in his sleep. A slight blush crept across Tsunami's cheeks, matching his pink hair. He had to hold his breath to prevent crying out 'aaaaahw' at the sight of his sleeping lover that was cuddling his shirt. It was like…watching a little kitten. He was going to miss that, Tachimukai's innocent smile, how he was always at his side, knowing he would never leave. He felt like he was betraying him by not mentioning he got asked to return to Okinawa.
'T-Tsunami…?' was mumbled in a sleepy voice as Tachimukai rubbed his eyes.
As soon as Tsunami heard the boy had woken up, he pressed his eyes shut firmly, 'I'm asleep, I can't hear you'.
Tachimukai snorted at his lie, placing a small kiss on Tsunami's jaw before struggling to get out of his grasp. It was a hard fight, pushing and groaning as tanned arms just held on to him tighter. Tsunami didn't want to let go, he just wanted to spend another few hours, no scrap that, the whole day cuddling in the cramped bed, and to be honest, Tachimukai secretly shared that fantasy. But there was no way their coach would forgive them for skipping breakfast, even on a Saturday morning.
'You're a bad liar' Tachimukai laughed when he had finally managed to get out of the bed, straightening the fabric of the over-sized white shirt he borrowed from Tsunami. Tsunami just pouted, stretching his arms before sitting on the edge of the bed. He placed his elbows on his knees and rested his head in the palms of his hands, simply mesmerized by his partner that was trying to get out of his shirt. He watched gentle hands grip the white fabric before it was pulled up, revealing a slender body that was flawed by slight bruises that were left after their training. Tsunami wondered when it would be the last time he could caress that body with his own hands, how it would be to feel that warmth for the last time. Would he ever be able to experience it again after he had left? Or would memories be the only trace left of their love? Tsunami's eyes followed Tachimukai as he walked up to a chair which had a messy pile of clothes on it. He picked up a clean shirt which had some weird text on it and a checkered red blouse. He pulled the shirt over his exposed chest, making his messy hair even messier in the progress. Oh, how bad did Tsunami want to run his fingers through those silky locks, pull Tachimukai closer and whisper sweet, comforting words to him, that even if he'd leave him, he'd still love him, and come back, no matter what. But he couldn't do that, and would Tachimukai even believe him? He wasn't even sure if he could ever fulfil that promise.
Tachimukai buttoned up the bottom three buttons, leaving the rest as it was before moving on to a pair of jeans.
'Wrong jeans' Tsunami snorted, pointing at the pair of denim jeans Tachimukai was holding out in front of him. Tachimukai walked over to the bed, dropping the pair of jeans on Tsunami's lap as he continued looking around confused, wondering where he could have possibly left his jeans.
'There's a pair on the desk, you left it here last time you spent the night in my room' Tsunami pointed at a neatly folded pair of jeans that was on the corner of his desk.
'I thought I lost that pair!' Tachimukai exclaimed, unfolding his jeans before lowering them to step into it. 'I should look around here more often, I bet I left some shirts here' he laughed, straightening out his clothes before walking up to the door. He opened the door with a creaking noise, but before walking out he turned around and scratched the back of his head.
'Hey, Tsunami, If we have enough time after training, and if the coach lets us go, would you like to..ehm..do something tonight?' He asked, slightly fumbling with the buttons of his blouse.
'Eh, are you sure?' Tsunami got up from the bed, slightly surprised by the question.
'I-I mean, if you want to, if there's something else you have to do to-' he couldn't even finish his sentence as Tsunami started talking.
'I'd love to' Tsunami smiled brightly. Tachimukai could feel the pace of his heart increasing when he saw that perfect smile. He could only smile back before he closed the door, walking towards the dorm's cafeteria, happiness being the only emotion that filled his heart at that moment.
But all that happiness soon faded away when he entered the cafeteria.

'The match will be held next Friday, even though it's a friendly match, I want you to win. We have six days left, and we are going to use those days to train, train and train more. Including this weekend.' The voice of their coach echoed through the room, which was then interrupted by Tsunami who walked into the room, holding his signature goggles between his teeth, and still fumbling with the button of his jeans. Their coach sighed, rubbing his temples before returning to his breakfast, leaving the rest of Raimon to complain to each other about his strict rules.
Tsunami looked around before walking up to Tachimukai. 'What was that all about?' he asked, placing his white goggles on his head. 'Looks like we have more training ahead of us' Tachimukai said, a fake smile tugging on his lips, trying to conceal the sorrow he felt. They probably wouldn't be able to do anything that night, since their coach would let them train the whole day, and who would have enough energy left after coach Kudou was done with you?
'What's up with that sad face? Here, smile! We have the entire evening to ourselves!' Tsunami laughed, pinching Tachimukai's cheek to turn that frown upside down. He laughed and wondered how Tsunami could be so careless while they only a limited amount of time to spend together. He probably was hiding it from him after all, but why would he do such a thing? It's not like he would get mad, maybe a little upset, but that way they could work together on a plan to make this week unforgettable.
But maybe it was for the better…maybe it was better to create a little distance between them, so when the day he left had finally come, the cracks in his heart wouldn't be so deep.
Tachimukai shook his head, trying to shake the sad thoughts off and walked up to Tsunami, who had already provided himself of a plate and was almost drooling at all the delicious breakfast food that was cooked up for them.

'Pass that ball over here!' Kidou's voice could be heard at the other side of the field. It was late in the afternoon and they had been training all day, their coach keeping an eye on them. Tachimukai continued pulling grass from the soil he was sitting on, really, no ball had come his way the entire day, and when one did, someone would jump in front, robbing Tachimukai from his chance to work on his new technique. He watched the ball being passed from Kidou, back to Hiroto and then played forwards towards Endou. Atleast they were doing a good job, but just sitting still during this time of the year wasn't really comfortable, a cold breeze sweeping across the field.
'Incoming!' A loud yell from Fudou reached his ears, but just a tad too late, and before Tachimukai could dodge it, he was struck with the ball that he was hoping to kick just once earlier. He could hear some of his teammates desperately trying to hold back their laughter, except Kogure, who sounded like was going to die from joy. He rubbed the spot the ball had hit him while sitting back up.
'You could've seen that one coming' Fudou casually said as he stole the ball that was rolling away from Tachimukai, and ran back off towards the other side of the field.
Tachimukai sighed, still rubbing the throbbing spot on his head while glaring at Fudou. He wondered if he did that on purpose, but that would really make him a jerk, or maybe it was just an act he put up for Kidou, but who knows.
'Let's go' a figure at his right called out to him, holding out a tanned hand. Tsunami was standing next to him, ready to help him up. Tachimukai eagerly took his hand and pulled himself up, straightening his clothes once he was on his feet. 'Go? What do you mean? Training isn't over yet.' He said, giving Tsunami a confused look.
'We're not getting any action at all, it's no use being here, so let's go' Tsunami pulled his partner along, leaving the fields behind them.
'B-but where are you planning to go? It's almost evening and they'll just get mad at us for being late' he panicked, not wanting to get into any trouble with coach Kudou.
'Wherever is fine, isn't it?' Tsunami stated, smiling. How could he have possibly forgotten about that sad expression that flawed his boyfriend's face that morning, after their coach had made it impossible for them to enjoy themselves that day? They were going to enjoy themselves, no matter how much trouble it would give them, it'd all be worth it.
They reached the beach that was located near their dorm. It was a 10 minute walk from the fields, a perfect place to rest after an exhausting day of training, not that Tsunami and Tachimukai did a lot this afternoon. Their team was way too concentrated on helping Endou, he was their goalkeeper after all. 'Isn't it too cold for the beach?' Tachimukai asked while rubbing his arms, trying to warm up as a cold breeze swept through his training uniform. At least he was wearing long sleeves, unlike Tsunami with his short sleeved shirt , but the autumn air didn't seem to bother him. 'It's never too cold to visit the ocean' Tsunami turned his head and averted his gaze towards the horizon, spoiling his ears with the soothing sound of the ocean's waves, 'No matter how cold it is, the ocean will never loose it's beauty'.
Tachimukai looked up at his boyfriend, slightly surprised by his answer. He was right though, no matter which season it was, the wind would always play with those pink locks, and the ocean would never rest. 'It's almost like looking up at the sky…' Tachimukai continued, their bodies unconsciously moving closer to each other as they walked along the beach, 'No matter where in Japan we are, and no matter the distance between us, we'd always look up at the same sky, and we'd always surf the same ocean'. Both of them smiled at the spoken words while they laced their fingers together, continuing their walk on the damp sand. Even if they were to be separated, the only thing separating them would be a vast amount of water, that could be sailed at any time.
