෴෴෴

you didn't realize how agonizing running around the field would be when you didn't have aryu with you anymore. it was near unbearable, especially with your annoyance still very present from when karasu had scored on you, even making you trip over your own feet and earning a few teasing laughs from shidou and karasu, who had somehow become a dynamic duo in the span of four hours.

with your face feeling hot from embarrassment and your eyes burning from both the sweat and the tears you forced away, you stomped away from the two, and rin, who was a few steps away, and began running your laps. on your fifth lap, you had already felt ready to collapse.

"come on, y/n" karasu called from where he began picking up the jerseys and putting them back in the bag they came in. "we're all gonna go eat right now. you comin or you gonna continue being all pouty like that?"

an annoyed but shaky huff fell passed your lips as you ran passed where he stood, starting your next lap. your legs may have been suffering severely as well as your craving for food after working out and training, but your stubbornness for sure surpassed any other discomfort you had been feeling.

shidou peeked his head in through the door, first glancing at where rin was drinking his water with a towel on his head, then, at karasu who stood with his hand on his hip and an annoyed look on his face while watching you force yourself through another lap, and then at you, who looked insanely exhausted and damn near ready to fall to the ground.

"alright then.." shidou muttered to himself, walking back onto the field as you made your way towards where he was and wrapped his arms around your waist before you could begin your next lap.

immediately, you went limp in his arms but still weakly smacked at his hands- though it didn't feel like much to shidou.

karasu laughed and made his way over towards where shidou held you captive while rin watched the scene curiously, changing his shirt to a regular t shirt. you glared at karasu as he laughed, weakly kicking your legs in his direction, "i hate both of you.." your head fell backwards into shidous chest while accepting your defeat. "all you guys do is make fun of me now"

"but you're just so easy to tease, doll face" shidou said, gently angling your chin to meet his face, which held a cocky grin. "either way, you're gonna have to eat. so come on"

a few grumbled complaints sounded from you as karasu patted your head and shidou carried you in his arms towards the cafeteria.

begrudgingly, you ate your food with karasu beside you and shidou in front of you. rin had stalked off elsewhere when you and the others left the field. a part of you wished that he followed you to the cafeteria, but you weren't too hung up on that.

the entirety of your time spent on the cafeteria consisted of you eating your food, ignoring shidou and karasu, then leaving. you were still annoyed with them, being able to hold a grudge far longer than most people you knew. a few days of not talking to them seemed promising to you.

on your walk back to your room, you noticed rin in the weights room. somehow, it felt familiar, making you want to walk into the room even more than you did before.

awkwardly, you stood behind where rin was running on a treadmill for a few seconds. your confidence was way too high, making you walk over to him without even knowing what you were gonna say to him. finally, your brain started working again and you acted as if you had just walked in. "the weathers nice today, huh?"
