( A/N: I tried to not give the reader a gender, which was actually really hard, so male and female fans feel more comfortable with reading it.
I don't think I'll do it again though unfortunately since some scenes are kind of hard to write in that way and feel weird reading like that. I hope you'll still enjoy it though ^^ Have fun with the chapter now :D
Also. This story was written before todays new video, which also happened to be about football basically xD Nice coincidence. Glad I saved that story for today.)

Your POV
----------------
,,Ren !"
,,Hm?" the tall male turned around as he heard me call his name. I was running towards him and stopped infront of him. I was already out of breath.
,,What wrong?" he asked.
,,Ren I need your help. It's an emergency!" I said loudly while trying catch my breath.
,,How about calming down first? Here. Sit down." he took me to a bench and we sat down. I took some deep breaths.
,,So? What is it? I don't get asked for help often. Do you need help with your homework?"
,,I think I would rather ask someone else then.." I muttered to myself.
,,What?"
,,Nothing, nothing! I don't need help with my homework. It's just... you know that I'm really bad at saying no, right?"
,,Who doesn't."
,,Well it could be that the football club needs someone who helps them out since one of their members got injured and they would need to reject a game offer then but if they do they'll have to disband since the club is already on the edge and so they might have asked me if I could help them out and maybe, just maybe, I said it would be no problem ..." I said in one breath and laughing awkwardly afterwards.
,,So they expect you to play?
,,Yeah..."
,,So? Then play."
,,But they need to win! ...and I told them I'm really good at football.." I said while looking down at the end.
,,You can't even kick the ball straight. You know that right? At this point Sakuma is even better than you. That got to mean something.." he said.
,,I know, I know! But that is why I need your help. Please teach me how to play football. I only have a few days left till the game.Pleeeaaaasee." I said begging.
,,Alright fine. I hope that you know that it won't be easy though. No complains."
,,Roger!" I say and he smiles at my response.
,,Thank you so much Ren!" I say excited and hug him.
,,No problem..let's just go onto the field now. Practice starts right now!" he says, stands up and goes onto the field. Somehow he sounded... shy?
I stand up and run after him and onto the field. He grabs a ball and gives one to me too.
,,I'll show you the basics first." he says and starts kicking and running after the ball and then makes a goal.
,,You try it now!"
,,Ok. I'll try." and so I start kicking and running after the ball.Unfortunately I'm all over the place and don't even make the goal.
,,Hmm... maybe we'll try a shooting practice first." Ren says and put the ball a few metres away from the goal. ,,All you have to do is kick the ball into the goal. We'll try to make your shoots more controlled, then we try it from further distance. After that we'll practice running with the ball and passing from standing positions. Then passing while running. If we still got time afterwards we can try some cool tricks. Understood?"
,,Yes!" That's a lot of things to do.. but I guess I have no choice. Afterall I got myself into this mess. I'm grateful Ren helps me. Let's work hard!

Time skip : 4 days later

Ren's POV
-----------------
It's the day of the game. We practiced a lot every day and it's really gotten better. At least good enough for a small game. However that's already enough. Seeing all the effort is kind of nice and made me really happy. I didn't expect anyone to ever ask me for help...it made me feel special. I'm glad I was able to help and I think sometimes my heart skipped a beat, but that was probably only because I was a little nervous too. ,,Are you ready?" I ask.
,,Yes, absolutely! Our team will definitely win! You'll see your training was totally it. Every single minute. I'll make you proud. You won't regret it!"
And once again I felt my heart skip a beat. In fact I think it's beating faster than usual? Perhaps I should get checked up by a doctor after the game. I heard it's not good if your heart beats that much. It's probably stress or something. Anyways. The answer was really honest and sure. How nice. ,,Alright! You better keep your words then.I'll hold you to it. You know I'll watch so give it your best." I say and give a little headpat. Suddenly I see a big blush evolve and I can't help but blush a little too and I can feel my heart beat faster again. Could it be..
,,ALL PLAYERS TO THE FIELD! THE GAME WILL START IN 3 MINUTES!"
,,Oh ! I gotta go. See you later!"
,,Wait ! I have to tell you something after the game. I'll wait in the garden. Good luck."
,,Huh? O-ok. Thank you!" I sit down and look towards the field. It's time to be honest with myself too. I'll give it my best too.
Thank you for making me realize.
