EMPEROR (Blue Lock x Reader)

Chapter 8

(A/n: GAAH! IT'S COZMEZ! IT'S MY FAVORITE BOYS! NAYUTA! KANATA!)

Reo grabbed Nagi from the dinner table and dragged him to the Team V training field- much to his dismay. Eating with Ruggie and Jack has become normal now, but Y/n would like Jack to stop staring at her. "What do you want, wolfie?" Jack choked on his water and Ruggie cackled. ". . . huh?" Y/n rolled her eyes before resting her head in the palm of her hand, propping her elbow on the table to keep her stable. "You realize you seem like a gaper*, right?" 

Gaper: A person or thing that gapes. Stares with an open mouth as if in wonder.

Jack flushed and tried to stutter out an explanation. "I have been watching you-! NOT IN T-THAT PRETEXT!" Jack panicked while Ruggie laughed and banged on the table. "I'm a big fan!" Jack admitted. Y/n's ears perked at his claim, her gaze visibly softened before she chuckled. Y/n pinched her chin in thought before smirking deviously. "Is that so?"  Ruggie ruffled Jack's hair with his signature cackle. "Shihihihi~ Jack! Y/n-san is good so I don't blame you!" Ruggie said.

"Y/n-san is a first-year like you so I would get why you'd be so surprised," Ruggie said dramatically swooning. Y/n grunted in disgust at Ruggie's behavior. "REALLY!?" Jack exclaimed surprised causing Y/n to sweatdrop. "We played against each other in Nationals and now we're both in Blue Lock ranging from 16-18," Y/n reminded the poor boy. Jack nodded stiffly, "Yes, L/n-san!" Y/n was irked at his sudden change and formality. "Huh?" Y/n grumbled.

Reluctantly, Y/n has to deal with a volunteer footman and now a fanboy who's the same age as her. Leaving the cafeteria, Y/n walked to the monitor room with the two boys behind her. "I want to see the kind of strikers we share a roof with," Y/n said to answer her companions' unsaid questions. "If you don't mind, L/n-san," Jack said before asking, "What is your weapon? The one that Ego talked about us having?" Y/n thought about it for a moment before shrugging, "Call it what you will but my weapon is my instincts. Other stuff like 'charisma' or 'strategic' follow after."

Watching the games, Y/n noticed four people throughout the entire game. She of course saw everyone else but she mostly kept an eye on those four strikers: Barrow Shiro, Kunigami Rensuke, Bachira Meguru, and Isagi Yoichi. Watching them play their separate games, Y/n was proud when Kunigami took the shot that was out of his comfort zone. Then there was Isagi Yoichi who scored the winning goal for the team. 

"What do you think, Y/n-san?" Ruggie mumbled watching the game. "Team Y could've won," Y/n huffed disapointedly. Didn't Y/n tell Niko to play soccer with her the next time they met? He's in for a world of hurt. That's not all either, Y/n had the tiniest slimmer of faith that Niko would pass. Niko losing was like him shoving her faith in her face and telling her to eat shit and die. "Niko has this bad habit of setting up people he deems better than him to score the goals for the team for them," Y/n said pointing at the crying boy. "He relied too much on the mohawk boy and didn't trust his skill: That's why he lost." 

 Ruggie and Jack took her words to heart and nodded while staring at the screen. "I swear, boys if you dump your hopes on me I'll make you pay for it," Y/n warned them, "So be prepared." Ruggie cackled while Jack sat there admiring her confidence. 'L/n-san is so cool!' He thought to himself.

"You're gaping, gaper."

"SORRY!"

Y/n stood out of the shower and dried herself with the towel issued to her. Looking at the discolored patch of skin, Y/n grabbed the bandages she brought with her. Her original idea was to use it to bind her chest in case her sports bra wasn't enough. However, Anri altered her Blue Lock suit so that alone was just fine. It proved to be convenient considering she'd need to use it to support her right shoulder. Carefully, she made sure to wrap it tightly and securely.
