BLUE LOCK X READER ONESHOTS

Sae x Reader

As the only female player in Blue Lock, I was used to standing out. But today, my heart was pounding not because of the game but because of the person who stood across the field. Itoshi Sae, the one who held my heart captive ever since we were kids.

Itoshi Rin, Sae's younger brother and my closest friend, had always been by my side. Little did I know, Rin carried a secret. He had been in love with me for as long as I had loved his brother. It was a bittersweet irony that threatened to fracture our friendship.

Today was a special day. The Blue Lock team was facing off against the U20 Japan team in a high-stakes match. 

I hadn't seen Sae in many years, and my heart fluttered as memories flooded back. The way he laughed, the way his eyes sparkled with mischief, it all resurfaced as if it were yesterday.

Rin, sensing my distraction, approached me on the sidelines. "Hey, (Y/N), can I talk to you?" His voice was laced with a mix of nerves and hope.

I turned to face him, attempting to conceal my anxiousness. "Sure, Rin. What's on your mind?"

Taking a deep breath, Rin confessed, "I've always had feelings for you, (Y/N). I couldn't keep it to myself any longer. But I understand if you don't feel the same way."

His words hit me like a lightning bolt. Rin, who had been my confidant and support all these years, had just laid his heart bare before me. I searched for the right words, struggling to control my racing heartbeat.

"Rin, you've always been there for me, and I cherish our friendship. But there's someone else I've had my eyes on for a long time."

Rin's face fell, and he nodded. "I see. I should have guessed. It's my brother, isn't it?"

I couldn't bring myself to meet his eyes as I whispered, "Yes, it's Sae."

Rin's smile was strained, masking the pain within. "I hope he makes you happy, (Y/N). That's all I've ever wanted."

Before I could respond, the whistle blew, signalling the start of the match. Rin and I separated, the unspoken tension hanging heavily between us.

Throughout the game, my eyes couldn't help but wander to Sae, who effortlessly commanded the field. He moved with grace and precision, leaving everyone in awe. 

During a break in the match, I caught sight of Sae among the U20 Japan team. It had been years since we last saw each other, and my heart fluttered with a mix of anticipation and nostalgia.

"Sae!" I called out, unable to hide my excitement.

He turned towards me, a bright smile lighting up his face. "Hey, (Y/N)! Long time no see!"

"Yeah, it's been too long," I replied, a hint of wistfulness in my voice.

As the referee's whistle sounded, signalling the end of our brief encounter, we exchanged a nod, silently acknowledging the unspoken connection that still remained between us.

After the match, I found myself alone near the locker rooms, replaying Rin's confession in my mind. Lost in my thoughts, I didn't notice Sae approaching until his voice brought me back to reality.

"(Y/N), you were incredible out there today. Your skills are unmatched," Sae complimented, his voice warm and genuine.

I stammered, feeling my cheeks heat up. "T-Thank you, Sae. Coming from you, it means a lot."

Sae chuckled, the sound sending shivers down my spine. "You've always been modest, (Y/N). But I can't help but notice something different about you today. Is there something on your mind?"

His directness caught me off guard, and I hesitated for a moment before gathering my courage. "Sae, I... I've always admired you. Your talent, your determination. But it's more than that. I... I think I've fallen in love with you."

Silence hung in the air, the weight of my confession palpable. Sae's eyes softened as he took a step closer, his voice filled with tenderness. "I've noticed how you act around me, (Y/N), and I've been longing to hear those words from you. I never imagined you'd feel the same way."

Tears welled up in my eyes as relief flooded over me. Sae gently wiped away a stray tear, his touch sending shivers down my spine. In that moment, everything felt right.

As the days turned into weeks, Sae and I grew closer. Our conversations flowed effortlessly, our laughter filling the air. Rin, who had stepped back to give us space, slowly found solace in his own pursuits.

One afternoon, I found myself wandering near the training field, lost in my thoughts. From a distance, I noticed Sae and Rin engaged in a conversation. Curiosity got the better of me, and I discreetly approached, trying to catch snippets of their discussion.

Rin's voice was tinged with a mixture of longing and resignation. "Sae, I'm happy for you and (Y/N). It's clear that you both have something special."

Sae's response was gentle yet filled with concern. "Rin, I know it hasn't been easy for us, being apart for so long. But I hope you understand that my feelings for (Y/N) are genuine."

I watched as Rin sighed, his gaze fixed on the ground. "I've always admired you, Sae. I've wanted to be closer to you, but it seems like (Y/N) is the one who captured your heart."

Sae's voice softened, filled with a mixture of remorse and understanding. "Rin, you're my brother, and our bond is irreplaceable. But love is unpredictable. I never intended for this to happen, but I can't deny what I feel."

Unable to listen any longer, my heart aching for Rin, I turned away, allowing them their privacy. It was a bittersweet realization that our love story had caused a rift between the Itoshi brothers, something I had never wanted.

As the days turned into weeks, Sae and I grew even closer. Our conversations flowed effortlessly, and our laughter echoed through the halls of Blue Lock. Yet, the weight of Rin's unrequited feelings lingered in the air, casting a shadow over our happiness.

Blue Lock became more than just a soccer training program; it became the backdrop of our complicated love story. Sae and I, despite our blossoming connection, couldn't escape the underlying tension between the Itoshi brothers. We navigated the delicate balance of our romance while hoping for healing and understanding to find its way to Rin's wounded heart.

Amidst our stolen glances and shared smiles, Kaiser, with his mischievous grin, couldn't resist teasing us. "Hey, lovebirds! Can't keep your eyes off each other, huh?"

I blushed, playfully nudging Sae's side as he chuckled. "Oh, Kaiser, always the joker. Can't a couple enjoy each other's company without your commentary?"

Shidou joined in the banter, a playful gleam in his eyes. "Looks like Blue Lock has become a romance novel. Who would've thought?"

Despite the teasing, their support remained unwavering. In the moments when doubt crept into our minds, Kaiser and Shidou were there to remind us of the strength of our love.

Together, Sae and I faced challenges on and off the field. We encountered setbacks and injuries, but through it all, we never let go of each other's hands.

In the end, the Blue Lock training program not only shaped our skills as players but also moulded our hearts. It was a journey that taught us the power of love, friendship, and pursuing our dreams.

And as I stood beside Sae, ready to face whatever the future held, I knew that the Blue Lock had opened the door to a love that would withstand any obstacle.

A/N: Yay! Hopefully Rin's delicate heart can heal smoothly! Thank you guys for reading and as always, comment or dm for requests!
