BACHIRA HAS NEVER been the type to think too deeply on things. Of course, when given the opportunity to - he does, but if he's caught up in the moment, he doesn't quite see past what is right in front of him. Even the most obvious of things.

Like the fact that he was completely in love with you.

"Bachira, what do you think of (y/n)?"

All of the Blue Lock Eleven boys happened to run into one another on their day off; subsequently meeting at a nearby café to get to know one another better. Isagi had proposed a game of 'Truth or Dare' and most agreed to the idea (most; Yukimiya, Barou, and Rin thought the idea was dumb).

So they went back and forth, asking one another questions or suggesting challenges - which eventually led them to the topic of love. It was Nagi's turn to ask Bachira a question (having picked truth) and of course, he asks the most obvious question on everyone's mind.

"Oh, we're just friends?"

Everyone looked at him in complete disbelief.

"That doesn't sound like a very confident answer." Karasu remarked, raising an eyebrow at him.

"Are you certain there's not more to it?" Hiori frowned, crossing his arms across his chest.

"Maybe he's the oblivious type to his own feelings." Reo sighed, shaking his head.

Bachira tilted his head to the side in confusion, blinking emptily before Niko continued the conversation of the seemingly-hot topic of discussion. "So you don't have any sort of feelings for (y/n)?"

Bachira hummed for a few minutes, thinking hard to himself what it was he felt towards you.

"Hmm... Well they're really important to me. All friends are."

Bachira's fellow teammates stared at him in stunned silence; unsure if he was being oblivious or not...

"You don't have romantic feelings for them?" Isagi asked, peering at his friend with raised eyebrows.

"Hm..." Bachira hummed quietly, tapping his finger against the table of the café they were at. "I... don't know?"

"Eh?"

"He's hopeless..."

"Oh my god..."

His teammates groaned, shaking their heads in disbelief.

"Has your heart rate ever increased while you're around them? Or you feel like you're drawn to them more than others?" Chigiri tried his best, hoping to elicit some sort of interesting response out of Bachira.

"Hmm... Yeah? I mean, I pay attention to them."

The boys stared at one another, exchanging looks of hopelessness as they tried to come up with some sort of solution that would uncover whether or not Bachira was crushing on you.

"Maybe the idiot doesn't know what its like to be in love." Barou grumbled, prompting Isagi to jump to his friend's defense.

"It's not like you have any more experience!" Suddenly, the café exploded with cheers and whistles as Isagi and Barou bumped heads, causing a ruckus that Gagamaru and Eita tried to prevent.

Meanwhile, Hiori and Aryu seemed more fixated on Bachira's simmering expression - waiting to see if the striker had anything to add to his thoughts on you.

"Bachira, you do realize that (y/n) has feelings for you right?" Reo remarked, folding his arms across his chest.

"They... do?"

Everyone nodded simultaneously, even the disinterested ones (Rin and Yukimiya).

Eventually, the conversation led elsewhere though some (Chigiri and Reo in particular) tried to continue to help Bachira sort out his feelings for you.

"So, heart racing and sweating is a symptom of love?" Bachira was certainly confused. Never had he previously thought love was so complicated...

"Well, kinda. Ever feel like you can't breathe whenever they're around? Nervous? Rush of adrenaline?"

Nervous? Out of breathe? Rush of adrenaline? Honestly, what they described was similar to the aftermath of a match... Would that be a better sort of descriptor to what being in love felt like? The sudden spark of ecstasy straight to your head when you score a goal?

"So... like that rush of excitement when I score a goal?" Bachira was met with nods and smiles, leading to him thinking about his relationship with you longer. You certainly did make him feel a certain type of way; different from what Isagi or his friends makes him feel— something more in his chest.

"Ah...!" Bachira shot out of his seat, prompting everyone to look at him. "I'm...! In love with (y/n)!"

"Then what are you waiting for, idiot? Go tell them, we already know!" Barou screamed as Bachira jumped over the table, running out of the café with a smile on his lips, waving to his friends while he shouted thanks for helping him figure out his feelings.
