Shared Feelings | A RinSagi Story

Chapter 18 - Is it Really Love

After the talk last night, Isagi and Rin fell asleep instantly in each other's arms. After a few hours of sleep, Rin woke up to see Isagi snuggling closer to him. Although he wanted to admire this beautiful face more, they both needed to welcome the new members of their team and practice games with them. "Love~ Wake up, We need to do a practice match with Kuzumi and Nagi remember~?" Isagi sat down followed by Rin. He hugged Rin tightly saying "But I still want to stay with you a bit more~" "I know love, I do too. But we have to go" Isagi whined for a while until "Then, Let's bathe together Hmm?" Isagi looked up to Rin "O-Okay~" Isagi said as he placed his head on Rin's chest. 

Isagi's Point Of View...
After our talk last night, I realized, that maybe I'm not showing my 100% love for him at all. Maybe it's because I don't want to seem too clingy to him. But that's what I want to do!! I want to just cling to him forever if given! And only if it's okay with him. That's why I've been clinging more to him. As we shower, he asks me "Baby, are you drunk or something?" "No, Why?" "I don't know...It's just that you've been acting differently just recently." Oh? did he not like the way I- before I could even overthink, he reassured me saying "Love, it's not like I hate it okay, It just- Ugh!! You're too cute!!! It's unfair!" Huh!? I blushed at that. Cute? Me? "You know, It's the first time I've heard a guy tell me I'm cute." I smiled as I turned to see his face as red as a tomato. "Well then, I'm glad. I should only be the one to see this side of yours." 

Once we finished taking a bath, we got dressed and left our room. As I roam around going to the training room with Rin by my side, I seem to always look at him time by time. And as I do so, I seem to overthink things. But it may not be it, but it seems like Rin can read me just like a book. When I overthink, he reassures me that everything will be alright. When I misunderstand him, he forgives me. He taught me how to be the person I am today. Without him, I may remain miserable. 

Love. It's a wonderful thing. Just like Rin. He's my friend, teammate, teacher, and lover. He is there all the time, he lends an ear when I need one. Just like a friend. He taught me a lot of things. About love, life, work, and football. But among those, what's more important is that he loves me and I love him too. The more I am with you, the more attached I get. The more we make love, the more you make me just want to live the rest of my life with you. I want to be able to live in our own house, have a car, live a peaceful life with two kids. This may be too early to say but, I want to marry you Rin. Such a big desire is longing inside me. I've been waiting for you...

On the other party before Isagi and Rin woke up... 5:00 am

Kuzumi and Bachira have gotten into a fight. Two young men recognized Bachira and Kuzumi "Oh look, these are those losers from back then right?" The man asked his companion and his companion said yes. He added, "I haven't had my payback at these two, ahh, destiny has got its time." He almost punched Bachira but then Kuzumi pulled him to his other side and took the punch instead "Kuzumi! Hey! What the hell are you two doing?! Scram now if you don't want to get a bruise times ten as what you did to Kuzumi!" "Haa, What can a scum like you even d-" Bachira punched him hard, he went pass through a wall and after that, the two left running but were disqualified when Ego saw what they did to Kuzumi. 

Kuzumi's Point Of View...
"Hey, are you okay?" Bachira asked, I did hear him but I was too focused on his lips that it took him to say it two times hehe. " Oh sorry, I was distracted. What was that?" "I asked if you were okay. It seems you are since you've been looking at my face like that. What are you even thinking? What, that you want to kiss me?" He looked away as he said so. Is he embarrassed? Then..."Damn, didn't know you could read minds" The place is now filled with awkwardness until Nagi walked with us. 

"Damn, what the fuck happened to your face Kuzumi?" Bachira answered, "Some punk punched him. But he's fine, just add some ointment. Do you have some in your room?" Nagi looked at him saying, "No, do you perhaps have some?" "Yeah, It's In Aryu's B-" Before he could finish, he was interrupted by Aryu. Aryu pulled Bachira close to him and their faces were almost close to touching! Are they always like this? I'm kind of jealous though, I wish I could be like that with Bachira. But Instead of me approaching him first, he would approach me first! I mean, I'm okay with that, but he doesn't know what I feel about him. Honestly, I also don't know why I feel this way. I seem to always be out of my mind when I'm with him. I can't sleep when he touches some other guy. I can't think of being ever in love with anyone else other than him. I want to be with him. but...I don't know. I just don't. I even remembered that time, when we were kids. It was only a year and a half though but I remember it clearly. We were kids then when he would play with me all the time while others were scared to make contact with me. Among all the people I've been with since then was nothing compared to him. He's just comfortable to be with and I feel happy with him. I still feel like that but something's different this time. Nagi once told me "it's love" but is it really it? If I tell you I love you, would you believe me, Bachira? Would you love me back or...

"Are you okay Kuzumi?" Bachira asked. "You seem distracted. Is it because of the hit just a minute ago?" Oh right, we were in Bachira and Aryu's room. I thought he would just go to ours but he let us in theirs. "Oh, Yeah, I'm fine" The first thing I thought was that It was cozy here as both me and Nagi walked inside. "Aryu, I told you to bring me the basket and I'll clean your clothes! I'll be out later before our practice match." "Haa, You're just like Aryu, Nagi." Nagi and Aryu chorused into saying "Hey that's rude!" and the room was filled with laughter.
