(A/N: Originally this was supposed to be a 3-chapter story only. But plot bunnies happened, and I've decided to make this a 10-chapter Nanarin fic instead. So, expect more plots to happen and probably intermittent updates as I'm busy with work and have hectic schedules as usual. Enjoy!)


It's as if his world came crashing down when he heard those simple words from the doctor himself.

It can't be...

He can't be...

...

He can't be pregnant?!

Nanase found it hard to breathe, feeling as if the world had been closing on him that instant.

"Mr. Nanase? Mr. Nanase! Please relax. Take a deep breath. In and out." The doctor's worried voice and his soothing hand against his back brought him out of his panic and retained the remaining shred of consciousness within him.

"You must be joking right doc? It... It... can't be. I-impossible..." Nanase stuttered out weakly.

The doctor shook his head in silence. "I'm not. It is the truth. I can give you a copy of your medical results later that day. But for now, I want you to rest here for a while seeing that you overworked yourself for these past few days in your team's practice. I will need to forward the results to Ego and Anri and have a separate discussion with them."

His last words made his blood cold.

What will happen now if they find out? Nanase lay down on the bed and shut his eyes out feeling as if he was getting swept away by the vertigo of unexpected news and consequences.

If he was indeed pregnant...

...he can't participate in the practice matches of his team...

...nor participate in the upcoming match against the Bastard Munchen...

He lay completely still on the bed, but he could feel the way his hands trembled like a leaf at the onslaught of chaotic emotions and thoughts bombarded him that instant.

Moreover, he knew who the father of the growing infant inside of him was Rin.

There was no other correct answer but him.

Because he was his first.

He was his first in everything.

Not only that.

He remembered that they did it twice on that night.

Without any protection.

Nanase wanted to bang his head against the walls because he succumbed to a moment of weakness. A moment of tragic weakness which bore an inconsequential consequence within his body.

They were so caught up in that moment that they forgot that they should use protection or even take a morning pill after.

What a fucking idiot he was.

And now he had to face the consequence of his idiocy right in front of him that could cost his future and career in soccer.

How could he tell him?

But the real question was whether he could even tell him.

He was already dreading how Rin would react if he told him of the unexpected news but what more if Rin found out from other people? Nanase knew that this was a strictly confidential matter, and this was his own private affair to handle, but the mere thought of hiding it from Rin nor lying to him didn't sit well right with him and it was already gnawing at his guilt and conscience.
