[Hiatus] Prince | Blue Lock

i got more in me (and you can set it free)

[Name]'s eyes twitched in irritation as Igarashi's relentless kicking persisted, disrupting their attempts to find solace in the stillness of the night. With each kick, their frustration grew, fueled by the intense day they had endured. Their social battery has been drained after the potluck. The darkness of the room enveloped them, offering little comfort as they battled against the rising tide of anger swelling inside them.

As another kick landed on their leg, [Name] clenched their jaw, a silent vow of restraint echoing within them. They knew that giving in to the temptation to retaliate would only serve to escalate the situation, potentially jeopardizing their standing within the Blue Lock program. Yet, the urge to lash out, to unleash their pent-up frustrations at the lack of sleep they are about to experience, threatened to overwhelm their resolve.

With a deep exhale, [Name] sat up, their movements deliberate as they swatted away Igarashi's hand this time that was aiming to hit their face. They knew if it landed, they would've screamed and woken everyone up to join their suffering. The weight of exhaustion pressed upon them as they didn't have enough time to sleep, a heavy burden that only added to their simmering discontent. Haven't they suffered enough? Would Ego even let them join another team instead? They didn't want to sleep next to the male longer than needed. They had enough at this point. [Name] doubts that anyone from the team would consider switching with them, knowing the male's sleeping habits. They silently wonder how they end up being placed next to Igarashi.

In the dim light of the room, [Name] glanced around, their gaze drifting over the slumbering figures of their teammates as they let their fingers play with the blanket piled up in their lap. However, they noticed one empty futon in the corner of the room, close to the door. And they knew who that empty spot belonged to. Where did you go, Hyoma? They silently thought as they let their fingers cradle their face, tilting in thought that perhaps the male was in the bathroom. They sighed as they thought that if they continued to think about it, it would just lead them down the rabbit hole, and would end up overthinking about it. The teen may come back in the next few minutes. He did not seem like the type to stay up all night. However, [Name] thinks no one would stay up that long after enduring the training Ego is putting everyone through.

Beside them, Meguru lay in peaceful slumber, the rhythmic sound of his breathing filling the space between them. He was the one to claim the spot next to them on the first day and bared his teeth at anyone trying to coax him somewhere else (which did not help the rumors that the two have a crush on each other). [Name] reached out, their hand hovering near Meguru's face, fingers gently grazing his bangs. Rather than tug on his hair as one might expect, they let the strands twirl around their finger, a small gesture of affection born from the depths of their subconscious. Although, they would never let anyone see them acting like this.

As they observed Meguru's serene expression, [Name] found themselves wrestling with conflicting thoughts. On one hand, the idea of searching for Hyoma seemed daunting, filled with uncertainty and potential complications if they did find him. What would they say? Would he want to even talk to them? So many questions, this is what happens if they are left to their thoughts with nothing to distract them. Yet, on the other hand, they couldn't shake the nagging feeling that finding him held the key to unraveling some of the mysteries that surrounded their enigmatic teammate.

With a determined resolve, [Name] made their decision. They carefully extricated themselves from their own futon, tucking the blanket neatly in their wake. Ignoring Igarashi's persistent leg kicks, they rose from their futon and quietly made their way towards the door, their footsteps echoing softly in the stillness of the night as they made sure to not wake anyone as they didn't want to spend time answering where they were going or have everyone wake up and make noise. [Name] is sure Ego would yell at the team for staying up this late.
