•••

The sound of a ball rolling around the ground and you gasping are the only thing you are hearing inside the practice room. You are currently playing football with Aryu and Tokimitsu. You try to catch your breath while dribbling the goal. Then when you saw a perfect scoring position, you lifted your foot and kicked the ball making its may to the net.

"That makes 4-2!" you grinned looking back at the two.

"Damn, you're so good at shifting your position." commented Aryu, wiping the small sweat of his forehead using his hand.

"But, your stamina is still weak." followed Tokimitsu then realized something."No,no,no Kei-san I didn't mean to-!"

His word interrupted when your laughter engulfed the room. "It's alright Tokimitsu-san, I should probably practice my stamina if I wanted to survive here."

Both male stare at you with an unreadable expression on their faces. It's their first time hearing you laugh. And damn, that's sound is kind of... sweet.

"...But your stealing skill, is actually unpredictable." mumbled Tokimitsu after snapping out of his thoughts, making you looked at him.

"Hmm?"

"I-I mean, all of your moves are unpredictable just like Rin-san. But, when it comes to stealing, you are... amazing!" stared Tokimitsu.

"It is?" you confirmed.

He hum in response and continued. "When we all doing a practice match, you are the only one who can keep up with Rin, the one who can stand him 1vs1." he finished.

"Right." commented Aryu. "But it doesn't change the fact that your stamina is weak." You elbow the raven haired ribcage making him grunt.

The three of you decided to go back into your room after the practice. One of your daily schedule here in blue lock is practicing with Aryu and Tokimitsu. Both of them decided to take a bath and you on the other hand made your way to the dining room.

Pressing your number in the machine, you get your food and made your way to the vacant sit in the corner of the room and dig your food, not minding everyone. You were peacefully eating your food when you feel a presence sitting in front of you. You face the guy only to see a familiar white hair tall dude who is staring at you.

"You..." stated the male looking at you. "You're the one who give me lemon tea."

Oh

"...Yeah." you blink staring back at the male. "You're the lemon tea guy."

Lemon tea guy? the white haired thought.

"I wanted to say thanks for that." explained the white hair. "I got no lemon tea on my menu, although I score many goals."

His statement made you chuckled and you push your lemon tea in front of him. The male blink and look at the drink in front him.

"You can have that, think of it as a reward for having many goals, as you said" you smiled.

The male looked at you again. You don't really understand how he feels. You can't read the reaction on his face but you also don't feel like he's uncomfortable with what is happening.

"Nagi." he stated making you tilted your hid saying what."I'm Nagi Seishiro."

"You can call me Kei." you grinned. "Why do you play soccer, Seishiro-san?"

"... to ease my boredom." he plainly stated sipping the lemon tea."And drop the honorifics, just call me Nagi."

It feels weird, he thought.

"Oh sorry about that." you apologized "You don't have any goals to achieve?" you inquire.

"Nah, it's pain in the ass." he mumbled, his head slumping into the table. "Everything was pain in the ass. Even going back to my room is pain..." His voice was really soft, making you humm in response."I just wanted, to live my life lazily as posible."

Lazily as possible huh...Then let's see.

"Nagi, Let's play."

Your statement made Nagi shifted his eyes towards you. He wasn't holding any emotions, just staring at your scarlet eyes.

"Noooo." he yawn thinking it was another pain.

"What about making a deal?" you stated grinning at the male. "If you win, I'll carry you into your room and you can have all my lemon tea"

sounds good, Nagi thought.

"And if I win.. Uhmm" you think of something deal but none of it was making sense "let's just see it later."

"...Sure." Nagi agreed and both of you made your way towards the free field.

Nagi Seishiro made his way in the opposite side of the court and you on the other one. After setting the time into thirty minutes, you also set the alarm to buzz when the fifteen minutes already pass.

As the buzzer ring out the field. You had immediately dribble the ball making your way towards the net and Nagi move to defend it. You proceed to kick the ball when you find an open area only for Nagi to steal it by making a jumping trap.

"Woah!" you shuddered in amazement and he kick the ball into the net making it a perfect goal.

When the ball bounce towards your direction, you immediately catch it with your foot and drible it to the field finding a good position. You feel Nagi, launching himself behind you and you easily shift your body landing on his front with the ball. You then find this an opportunity to kick the ball and for the second time, Nagi move and steal the ball completely kicking it towards the opposite net.

he's amazing...

You looked at the ball from the net and Nagi slouching form walks towards you.

"You don't have a chance of winning against me." he boringly stated.

You stare at his apathetic face and tilted your head. "I got it!" you blurted making Nagi raises his eyebrow.

"What?"

You didn't mind him and instead, look at the time.

There's still five minutes left to end the first half of the game.

Bouncing the ball again, you hold it with your foot and dribble it. Nagi had enough seeing the same moves again and he run towards you, slower than usual. Shifting the male's body to steal the ball, his eyes slightly widened when you channel your energy into your right leg, creating the azure cyclone effect. With precise timing and coordination, you releases the kick, directing the spinning force towards the ball.

Goal.

That makes it 2-1

Nagi was still in his thoughts when you saw the remaining three minutes in the fist half of the match, you had immediately caught the ball and didn't give time Nagi to register what was happening when you do a backflip shot and he saw it, the ball ragingly passing at the side of him making its way to the net.

The sound of buzzer echoed throughout the room and you looked at the score. 2-2.
