Reader's POV
It's been two weeks since the incident with Fubuki occurred. I can walk properly now. It was rather difficult for me to walk around so I spend most of my time sitting down. Whenever I stand up or walk, I do my hardest to not flinch or look like I'm suffering, and if people ask, I'll just reply with 'I'm stressed with work' or 'I'm not feeling well'.
Fubuki would often show his discreet smirk whenever he sees me in pain, but most of the time, he's concerned about me and would apologize occasionally, but despite all of those, he would whisper sexily, making me remember that hot night we shared.
'I should really stop thinking about this.' I gave a mental note.
Yuri have been coming her quite frequently to see Hiroto-kun. The rest of the team are in their best shape and everyone is happy. It's a Saturday and their next match is this Monday so everyone's all fired up from the upcoming match.
"Yo! Endou!" A man said.
I turned around, to see who called Endou, only to be surprised to see the team Chaos. All of us managers where taken by surprise by the sudden visit of the merged team of Diamond Dust and Prominence.
"Oi! Gazel! Burn!" Endou called while running towards the former captains.
"What are you doing here?" Hiroto asked seriously to Gazel.
"Since you guys are participating in the Football Frontiers, we thought we should have a friendly match along with finishing that last match we had." Burn said.
"Of course we'll take you—"
"Not without the permission of your managers and the coach." I cut Endou's sentence, knowing he'll accept the offer immediately.
I could feel the cold stare of Gazel piercing right through me.
"She looks new." Gazel said.
"I am. Look Shuuya, someone who just overthrew you. Ladies and gentlemen, from now on, I'm calling you the Ice Queen." I declared with pointing at him.
Gazel just tsk at me while combing his hair with his hand.
"Apparently, manners isn't in her dictionary. Didn't you parents tell you that pointing at people disrespectful?" He said.
'They did. I chose to ignore it. Didn't yours? Oh yeah, should I go any further?' I thought, but I knew better. That would be below the belt and is so wrong since I'm rubbing the fact that I have parents to their faces.
"Stop it, [f/n]. It's a waste of time trying to argue with someone like him." Yuri said while walking towards Hiroto who was standing in front of Gazel and Burn.
"Yuri, what are you doing here?" Gazel asked in surprised which he hid pretty well.
"Got tired of stalking Gazel?" Burn commented.
"You were stalking Gazel?" I asked Yuri. She sweat dropped a little, knowing that we girls are going to ask her after this.
"Yeah, wasted a lot of time doing so." She replied coldly. She was already beside Hiroto by this time.
Hiroto then put his arms around Yuri's shoulder shocking everyone in Team Chaos.
"Anyway, coach, will you allow the match?" I asked the coach who just gave a small nod.
"Then it's settled." I said as I urged everyone to go to the field.
"Wait." Gazel commanded. Everyone looked at him, curious of his sudden outburst.
"I didn't know you would stoop so low, Gran. Just so you know, that little trick won't fool us." Gazel said seriously.
"What trick?" Hiroto asked innocently.
"You know what I mean." He replied this time with a dangerous glare.
"You mean this?" Hiroto said as he pulled Yuri closer to him.
"What do you think you're doing?" Gazel said angrily.
I was shocked at the scene in front of me. Actually, everyone seemed to be shocked at how angry Gazel's voice was despite looking so calm.
"Holding MY GIRLFRIEND, and here I am, kissing her forehead." He said as he kissed Yuri's forehead while she just blushed. I saw Gazel's hand clenched tight but released it the moment Hiroto's words processed in his brain. He started mumbling to himself while staring at the ground.
"Is this true, Yuri-chan?" Burn asked.
"We've been dating for two weeks. I thought Gran already told you. I mean, he said he'll tell you." Yuri started to explain.
I seriously feel like I'm watching a romantic movie or something, all that's left are some popcorn and a comfy chair.
"Well, he obviously didn't." Gazel spat. The atmosphere is starting to feel a little murderously.
"Anyway, the friendly game?" I said, trying to change the topic.
"Forget about the game. I lost interest." Gazel replied about to leave.
"What's your problem? Weren't you the one who told Yuri to 'leave you alone' and 'get a life'? Or is it because of the feeling of sudden withdrawal of a presence?" Hiroto said angrily while Gazel was frozen, shocked to hear those words from Hiroto.
I looked at everyone who seemed shocked at the whole scenario in front of us. My eyes then landed on Yuri who was on the verge of tears.
"Gran, that's enough." Yuri said softly.
While everyone was focused on Hiroto and Yuri, I observed the hurt expression of Gazel, I even saw tears forming but he quickly blinked it off. I found my resolved. I want to know the truth.
"Will there be a match or not?!" I asked demandingly. Burn seemed to be taken aback by my sudden burst, but shook his head, knowing his friend won't be able to play his best as of the moment.
"I have to go somewhere anyway. Maybe next time, when our time for playing isn't consumed by drama." Burn replied then dragged Gazel out of our visions.
The team then resumed practice.
All of us managers were now interrogating Yuri.
"Spill." Aki commanded.
"I don't know where." Yuri replied.
"Do you really love Hiroto?" I asked directly shocking her in the process.
Yuri looked down on the ground with sad eyes before looking at me.
"No. Well, yes, but as a brother. Gran was always there when I needed him. He was the person I talk to whenever I have Gazel problems." Yuri confessed.
"So you love Gazel." Haruna made sure while Yuri replied with a nod.
"So why ask Hiroto-kun to be your boyfriend?" Natsumi asked.
"Because if I think about it rationally, Gran is taking care of me and supporting me with everything I do while Gazel just pushed me away, call me names, and for him, I'm an eyesore." She explained.
"So you're using Hiroto-kun?" Fuyuka asked. Yuri seemed shocked by the direct question and avoided looking at us with sad eyes.
"He could've said no. Gran have been my brother-like friend since I met him. I didn't expect him to say yes." She said.
"Well, boys are ridiculously complicated, but don't you have classes to go to Yuri-chan?" I asked.
"AH! I forgot! I have to go. I'm really sorry for the commotion. Bye~" She said quickly while running off.
Time skip – lunch time
I couldn't let things be the way it is. I approach Hiroto who was alone on a table.
"Mind if I sit?" I asked.
"I don't have any objections. You could ask the other people sitting with me though." He said with a small laugh.
"Dear invisible people who sits beside or with Hiroto on this magnificent table, may I sit? Yes? Good." I said in this enchanted like tone.
"So what do I owe the pleasure of having you sit with me?" Hiroto asked.
"It's about Yuri." I said and Hiroto's expression suddenly turned serious.
"What about her?" He replied. His food suddenly became interesting for him since he wasn't looking at me when he said that.
"She's sort of… using you." I said in the most awkward way. I looked at his face, wanting to know his reaction. He smiled.
"I know." He replied.
"But why?" I asked wondering.
"Yuri and I share the same feelings. We love each other not as a boy and a girl, we love each other as siblings. She's way too in love with Gazel." He replied with a genuine smile.
"I am confused. Why'd you say yes when she asked you to be her boyfriend?" I asked but was surprised that his aura became deadly serious. Hiroto-kun was angry.
"I was there when it happened. Yuri was chasing Gazel as usual, but he seemed to be having a bad day already. They just crossed the street, but that was when Gazel already hit boiling point. He pushed Yuri, didn't even apologize, and what's worse was he didn't even looked back when Yuri called for him desperately." He narrated.
"You were angry that he pushed her?" I asked.
"No. Well, yes. But I am angry at the fact that he didn't even looked back at the girl he pushed when she was calling him. If I wasn't there, she should have been dead by now." He continued. Hiroto looks incredibly scary right now.
"The place was downhill. It's known as an exclusive road for trucks. She nearly go trampled by a 10-wheeler." He said angrily.
"So this is revenge?" I asked seriously.
"No. I want him to taste the feeling of losing someone worse than death." He replied.
"What makes you so sure that Gazel or rather Suzuno-kun would feel that way?" I asked.
"Gazel would never admit it since he doesn't realize it yet, but he likes Yuri. Gazel is not the type of person to notice people that aren't important in his life." He said.
"So you're helping him while making him suffer?" I asked in a confused voice.
"Yes, but I'll still punching him on the face after I'm done." He said.
"Hiroto-kun, there are limits in being nice and if it were a normal brother who loves his younger sister, the last thing he would do is to hook his little sister and Gazel up." I explained which he only responded with his normal warm smile.
"Do I get a reward from you?" He said with his eyes sparkling with excitement. Hiroto was back and I giggled at the fact that he was acting like everyone else, a kid.
"We'll see." I said with a wink and left.
Time skip – match day for inazuma japan
-Before the match—
Yuri's POV
The team was already inside, I was already looking for my sit. Hiroto begged for me to come and gave me front row tickets. I was preoccupied with my thoughts that I accidentally bumped into someone.
"Sorry." I said to the person I bumped into.
"No it's ok, I wasn't looking." A familiar voice said.
I froze upon realizing who owns the voice.
"G-Gazel." I stuttered.
"Yuri." He said softly.
"What are you doing here?" I said coldly while I yelled at my heart for fluttering.
"I got tickets to be here." He replied in his usual tone.
I sat on my sit only to feel him sit next to me.
"Can't read or something? Sit's number is written on your ticket." I said without looking at him.
"This is my sit. It's not like I wanted to be sit here." He replied.
I stopped talking to him and fixed my eyes on the field. When the players were already on the field, I quickly found Hiroto who was playing as a forward. I stood up and went nearer.
"Gran~!" I shouted at the top of my voice. Gran looked at me and gave me a smile while waving at me. I waved back and gave him a flying kiss which he reached out for and keep.
I blushed at his sweet action.
'If only it was Gazel who did that.' I thought sadly then immediately shook my head.
'No. I'm moving on remember.' I thought.
"Could you guys get a room or something?" Gazel said annoyingly.
"Don't worry, we will after the match." I said while looking at him with a satisfied face.
Gazel's POV
I couldn't pay attention to the match seriously. All I could think of was Yuri with Hiroto, fucking each other. Every scenario ends up with her completely satisfied look and I could feel my heart getting heavier and angrier.
'Why do I feel like this? Can I be in love with her?' I thought then later deciding that I was, but I have to make sure.
To: Burn
Burn, I think I'm in love with Yuri.
From: Gazel
Burn was the only person I could think of since we have been rivals since the beginning making him the perosn who knows me more than anyone even myself.
To: Gazel
You're joking right? YOU ONLY REALIZED THAT NOW?!
YOU IDIOT!
From: Burn
Burn is usually the hot headed one but this time, he really is making a point and I could feel him doing multiple facepalm.
I snuck a look on Yuri who was fixated with the game or rather, with Gran. I could feel jealousy building up.
'Just how much did I screw things up?' I thought.
Time skip- After the game
Reader's POV
The team won, yet again. We were having a victory party in Rairaiken.
"[f/n]-chan, say ahhh~" Fubuki said cutely. I couldn't resist so I did. He immediately and gently fed me some food which tasted awesome by the way.
"How was it?" He asked while I just gave a thumbs up. He was quickly shoved away by Kazemaru.
"You should try this [f/n]. It's really delicious. Here, let me feed you." He offered while I just kept nodding.
I love food! I'm not particularly choosy but I love food that taste awesome!
I ate what Kazemaru fed me and it was as heavenly as the one Fubuki gave. Which reminds me. I quickly went to the back of the shop where the inventory is and brought out the cakes and sweets I made for the team.
"Congratulations guys~" I said while showing them what I made.
Their eyes sparkled just by looking at the dessert even Gazel looked like he wants to pounce me for some cake. Why is he here? Hiroto invited him.
'That sneaky guy.' I thought.
"By the way, [f/n]. Dad's not coming home tonight and Yuuka's sleeping over at her friends house. So that leaves the two of us. Alone. in the house." Gouenji said loudly, making everyone hear his statement.
"NO WAY!" Hiroto was the first to react.
"Why are you reacting Hiroto? I expected Fubuki and Kazemaru to react first." Gouenji said. I saw Hiroto tensed a little.
"Unlike you who is willing to just suddenly strip, Hiroto-kun is a gentleman who knows how to treat a woman right. He is simply concerned for me since you are still a guy, are you not?" I replied. I could see Hiroto, through the corner of my eyes, thanking me.
"WHAT!?" Fubuki and Kazemaru chorused while everyone was confused.
"Gouenji-kun, you're actually stripping in front of [f/n]." Fubuki said in terror.
"EHHHHHHH?!" Everyone except for me and the two boys screamed.
"How dare you taint [f/n] innocence?! You're body isn't even as good as mine?!" Kazemaru added.
"What? My body is way better than yours." Gouenji replied.
"Bitch please!" Fubuki, who have already took his shirt off, shouted.
Soon the rest of the team even Gazel, who got pulled in because of his arrogance, were now comparing who has the best body, while the girls just looked at them, sweat dropping.
"Boys." We all said.
A/N
I know that this is a little off topic but this is somewhat a glimpse of my new story starring reader (or a named character) x Gazel/Suzuno Fuusuke.
Hiroto: I only want reader-chan to be my girlfriend~!
Fubuki: Nuh uh.. She loved what we did.
Kazemaru: I still have the best body.
Gouenji: I happen to be an amazing cook.
Hiroto, Kazemaru, and Fubuki: Nobody really cares since we can cook, too. And besides, weren't you always the perverted character who just suddenly strips?
Gouenji: *depressed mode*
Gazel: Humans, you're so petty.
Hiroto, Kazemaru, Fubuki, and Gouenji: You're not in the position to say that.
Gazel: *sweat dropped*
Yuri: Gazel~! *tackles Gazel and rubs cheeks with him*
Gazel: Get off me woman!
So I am sorry for the late update but I will show/tell you guys why.
First, I have a defense to prepare for.
Second, there's this modelling event in my school, that I happened to be participating for, this saturday sept. 20, 2014.
