Rediscovery (Blue Lock x Reader)

Here comes the BOOM!

(Y/n)'s POV:

Before I knew it, our next match came up against team Y. 

Earlier before the match, they relay the plan Kuon made. Basically for everybody to have an equal chance, they'd rotate every 10 minutes or so to give the next player to play as a forward.

"Who's sitting out for this game? Considering that I'm forced to play against my will, I'm sure it was a hard decision for one of you to make." I said wearing my number 12 jersey. "Actually, I volunteered to sit out for this game." Chigiri said which made me somewhat snap my head to him. I slightly frown, because I knew this decision was also due to his injury, but at the same time, I don't want this to be a repetitive occurrence. Since he's meant to be here, in this story, in blue lock. Not me. 

"Are you sure, Chigiri?" I asked just to be safe to which he nodded, "Yeah. You haven't played yet and even if I'm on the field, I'll just stick to defense." I chuckle at the irony, "That's funny because I was thinking of doing that too."

Kuon claps, "Then! With this, we'll surely win!" the other hoots, feeling the fire.

"Yaaay! (Y/n)'s going to finally play again!" Bachira cheered throwing himself at me, hugging my head to his chest.

"A pretty girl. Playing with me? That's a dream come true!" Imamura spoke with sparkles in his eyes to which Raichi retorted, "Why do you talk as if she's never been here?"

Kunigami and Lemon nod at me with a smile. "I'm looking forward to play with you." Kunigami said and I nod back.

"I'm excited." Froggo Gagamaru expressed.

And with that we're now back to the present.

After team Y made their entrance, I went to Isagi and whisper to him, "You see that guy there? With the number 7? He looks suspicious." Isagi turns to me confused, "What do you mean?" I pat his shoulder, "What I mean is...keep a close eye on him, Isagi." and with that I got back to position.

So now here I am, on the field, barbecue sauce on my titties.

Ok, I was joking, because in reality, my heart won't stop beating fast and hands can't stop shaking. I keep on a façade so the other doesn't suspect something was wrong. I try to focus on the actions happening to keep my thoughts away from the dark thoughts.

The play start with Bachira in the lead while the others supports him. It went well until two players blocks him which forces him to pass to Igarashi. Igarashi passed to Bachira once more for a second go, but it proven difficult and soon his 10 minutes was up.

Now, Kunigami is up. Passing to Raichi they all run toward the goal. With Bachira and Kuon creating an opening, Raichi went and pass it to Kunigami.

"Shoot!" Kuon shouted.

"Do it now!" Bachira exclaimed.

And shoot he did, but it was blocked. 

"Go figure." I muttered to myself.

Attempting to get their rhythm back, Isagi who possesed the ball, sent it to Bachira who proceed to do his fancy footwork before passing it to Kunigami. "Kunigami! It won't work!" I exclaimed but he already kicked it. And what do you know? It was blocked once again, leaving Kunigami frustrated.

Then, everything was in slow motion.

I watch the ball float midair........it's in the air.

Then, the next thing I knew, I was running. At the same time as I was running, the fear became 10x worse, but at this point my mindless instinct overpowered those fears. 

I ran towards Igarashi who was the closest to the ball and with explosive power, I jump on Igarashi's shoulders and use him as a springboard to which made him yelp in surprise. 

My eyes focused on the ball as my body twists into the motion I wanted and with a full rotation along with an extended leg, the ball landed perfectly on my foot, sending it towards the goal.

For a moment, I felt a feeling of satisfaction and pride overwhelmed me that I forgot I was still in the air until Kunigami, Kuon and Gagamaru caught me along with a loud cheer. "Holy shit! (Y/n) that was amazing, I didn't think you could do that!" Kuon exclaimed with excitement. They set me down and soon both Kunigami and Gagamaru ruffles my head. 

"You're fucking insane." I pout at Raichi's comment but it turn to surprised when he said his next line, "But I fucking love it!" he present a wide grin and I couldn't help but grin back.

Bachira then went and fucking tackled me, "I saw it! I saw it! A glimpse! I saw a glimpse of your monster!" just as quickly as he said that, he got up, pulling me along as well. He let's go of me and bounces around, "Today's the best day EVER!!!"

Naruhaya soon shouted with enthusiasm, "Alright! Let's go for one more!"

Despite making a goal, the game was far from being over. I was going to go back to my previous position but all of a sudden, the delayed fear came back, hitting me full force, resulting my knees to buckle and heave for dear life.

"Fuck!" I yelled, unable to control my breathing and then the next worst thing was the phantom pain in my chest which cause my condition to worsen. 

"(Y/n)! Shit! Pause! Pause! We have an urgent problem!" Kunigami exclaimed. The game was brought to a halt as my team brought me toward where Chigiri resided to check what was wrong with me.

"What the fuck was that?" Raichi spoke normally for the first time. "Yeah, you never informed us about this. If we've had known, we wouldn't force you." I shook my head, "I just emptied my gas tank too quickly, it hit me harder than I thought. Also, remember? Ego won't allow it. I'm OBLIGATED to play... I just need a moment to recoup." when I look at my team, they all look unsure, whether it was my lie or state, I didn't care. It's better than explaining that it due to past life trauma. 

Raichi looked like he had something to say.

But the intercom soon told us to get the fuck back in.

Naruhaya extend a hand, "You ready?" I grab it and got up, "Yeah." before I left to get back on the field, Chigiri calls me out, "(Y/n)." I turn my head to him, "You don't need to push yourself. Take it easy, ok?" I softly smile, "Sure thing pretty boy." he immediately blush and then I went back.

It was nice hearing words of encouragement from him.
