Monster (Bachira Meguru x Fem! Reader)

Chapter 10: Second Selection

That day, I had to check up on Raichi's neck before paying Team V a visit. I wanted to come in and apologize for Kuon, and asked Nagi if he was okay.

"Don't worry about it. I'm alright." Nagi had said. I was glad too, because with his height, I couldn't imagine why Kuon would push him down. Though, I guess it was because Kuon had been acting out of his heart, and not his brain.

That night, the team celebrated with a big party. Or at least as big as it could get with what they had. I decided to go with Bachira to get drinks for the team.

As we walked, we also talked about the second selection.

"I still can't believe you guys all made it to the second selection! I mean, I had faith in you guys, but still, it feels surreal!" I said. "You did such a great job Bachira."

Bachira blushed a little. "Well, you helped too, just by being there." He looked away before continuing, "If you hadn't been there, I wouldn't have worked so hard."

I paused a bit before replying to him. "Oh, I get it, you were trying to impress me, huh?" I asked with a flirty tone.

"Maybe." Bachira looked back at me and winked.

As we got some drinks from the cafeteria, I saw a bunch of people leaving the facility. I guess they didn't make it, what a shame.

Bachira and I carried the drinks back. However, when we got there, the team was already sleeping. Well, I guess they deserved it. Today had been pretty intense after all.

------------------------------------------------------------------

My heart broke into two pieces when I realized I wouldn't be working directly for Team Z anymore. This also meant that I wouldn't get to see Bachira as much.

This truly sucked. At least I could still see them when they weren't playing matches, or at the cafeteria.

They had now moved me to the nursing center, which I didn't even know existed. Kiyo, Miaka and Hiyoka were here with me too, so it wasn't too lonely.

On the day of the second selection, Bachira gave me a very big hug in front of all the nurses. I swear to God he was the most troublesome friend ever.

"Y/N! I'm gonna miss you so much!" He said as he hugged me. "We don't be able to see each other again. And you won't be able to beat me up whenever I do something you don't like."

I could see all the other nurses staring at us, and a few giggling.

"There, there, buddy. We can still hang out, as much as you'd like." I said as I patted his back.

"We can?" He withdrew himself from me, and I stared into his eyes. He was already crying, and pouting like a little kid.

I brushed away one of his tears before responding, "Yeah, we can. Just become the world's greatest striker for me, alright?" I said encouragingly.

"Okay! But I'm only doing it because you asked me to." he said as he let me go.

I chuckled. "You better go practice now if you want that to happen."

"Yes, I will, right away!" He zoomed out of the door in a moments notice.

Yet just as he disappeared, he came back into view again. "Y/N!"

"Yeah?" I replied with an amused smile.

"I love you! When I become the world's greatest striker, I won't forget you! I love you, Y/N!" and he dashed out, with only his words left, echoing around the walls.

Bachira... loved... me?

Before I could even say anything, the nurses tackled me into a hug.

"Oh my god, Y/N! A confession? And from such a cute guy too?"
