An Odd Ego (Blue Lock X OP Striker OC)

Chapter 20: The World

Ryu: Please, I said I was sorry!

Ryu and Aero walked along a sidewalk, as the girl was still somewhat upset from the Blue Lock situation.

Aero: I'm glad you're happy now, but still.

She puffed out her cheeks pouting.

Aero: I thought you were mad at me for something I did for a while...

Ryu: Aero, I'm really sorry, but you know how my mom can be once in a while. She's so busy with her business that things might slip her mind until it's too late. I wanted to tell you, honest.

Aero: ... Well as long as you mean it, you big dummy.

She grabbed Ryu's hand, before jumping a bit to kiss his cheek, causing him to blush ever to slightly.

Aero: And those goals were just amazing! You finally showed the world you've got what it takes to be the best! It's about time too!

Ryu rolled his eyes.

Ryu: Yeah, you have Azure to thank for that.

Aero: Really, you would've been on the U-20's radar for sure. You were just lazy cause you had Azure and other guys to score for you. Now though...

Aero took out her phone, holding it in front of Ryu.

Aero: You and Blue Lock are famous!! They're saying all kinds of things about you!! Like "Ryu Kaizen bided his time and emerged from the Shadows to strike on the big stage!" and "I can't believe Kaito's right hand ended up being even better!" People everywhere look up to you!

Ryu: Man, I was really just known as Azure's right hand? I mean I'd at least accept the midfield general. Or the dark speedster.

Aero: Well, now you're known as the Dragonic Ace!!

Ryu: ... Okay, maybe it was worth the wait.

Aero: Anyway, we're here.

They arrived an arcade, walking inside.

Ryu: Alright, now what to do-

???: Hey, the game addict bothersome prince over there!

Ryu: O_O

Ryu turned his head, before seeing Isagi, Azure, Chigiri, Bachira, Karasu, Yukimiya, Reo, Otoya, Aryu, and Tokimitsu near a sitting Nagi.

Karasu: Yer gonna lose her friends, ya bastard!!

Ryu: ... I wanna say I'm surprised, but I can't even say that.

Azure: Oh, look who dropped by!

Aero: Ahaha, what a surprise!

Isagi: I didn't think you two lovebirds would come to an arcade of all things!

Azure: You~ must not know Ryu that well. The guy's got a gaming addiction almost as bad as Nagi's.

Ryu: -_- Well thank you for outing me like that, best friend.

Once they all began to play games, Ryu only proved Azure right, as he got high scores on most machines he used, and only lost some to Aero, who also ended up being somewhat of a gaming freak as well.

Chigiri: GRRRR, how are you so good at this?!!

Ryu: GIT GUD SCRUB!!!

Reo: You know what, let's just try Karaoke!! You can't possibly be good at that too!

Azure: *Snicker* You know what, I'm just gonna let that be a surprise.

When walking to the Karaoke center,  they saw a slight commotion, as two girls left a room. One seemed to have their hand held, before soundly slapping whoever it was.
