"what took you so long, kuronaaa?" bachira whined in a lazy stance. it's not that bachira was exaggerating his reactions yet again, it was the undeniable fact that their magenta-haired soccer buddy truly took long inside their clubroom. they were already on the way to the first half of the last practice for the day. the boy felt upset about it as he was already worn-out, yet, they haven't played with kurona since practice started.
shidou playfully raised an eyebrow as he curled his index finger and placed it below his lower lip. "i think he beat some meat." he smirked.
his guess caused the majority of the soccer team to turn their heads at his direction with either sneery looks, eyes filled with disgust from rin itoshi, or concerned looks. from isagi, hiori, nanase, and the only girl present within the soccer field, l/n f/n. she stood there uncomfortably with a blank stare, not that she had been weirded out by the untruthful take of the tanned soccer player, it was, just unexpected. this was part of her firsts as well after all— spending the rest of the afternoon beyond the school's dismissal time with men all over the place.
and, well, jokes between boys she had no business with.
however, kurona remains calm in his place; he knew better than anyone his fellow teammate's accusation was just simply, unreal. it was too inappropriate for his nature.
"literally, what kind of mindset do you possess? it's so idiotic considering you're older than me." he remarked, muttering the last sentence. as much as he hated insensitive jokes as those— knowing on your behalf a girl's presence is found within— he didn't want to offend a senior.
the others who were enjoying themselves laughing at shidou's 'joke', fell into silence. anyhow, shidou just shrugged it off. because weirdly enough, to the certain blondie, practice was starting to excite his cells right now.
at least, until he heard what else kurona had to say. "don't you ever use your brain outside of soccer?" he paused, "well, i figured. you'd still be insensitive within or not within the field." he scoffed.
to be completely frank, in the view of others, he may just be the one overreacting this time. indeed, it has been mentioned that he didn't want to resort to the offensive towards the tanned senior; although, he has bottled up emotions and grudge against life and shidou. he thought it was worthwhile to use him to let it all out.
shidou ryusei was more than ready to initiate no more than an argument but a fight in combat. albeit, before he could even square up, their coach has already had enough of it. he started whistling at the team and yelled at them to proceed through practice.
beyond the magenta-haired male's attention, the girl who caused him to act that way earlier, in specific, l/n f/n, was just nearly beside him. she held back a giggle, "pff." the female covered her lower face.
