Kazemaru P.O.V

L/N has fallen asleep. This is the second time she fell asleep on my shoulder. I turn my head to look at her. Her hair falls to cover her face. I lift my hand as I gently brush it away from her face. Well, there it is again... this feelings every time L/N is near me. I wasn't sure what I felt before, but now I do...

I'm in love with L/N...

-Burning Emotions-

3rd P.O.V

The sun has risen, coach Hitomiko blows a whistle to wake up all members of Raimon Eleven. Everyone gets up from their spot and makes their way outside.

"Eh? Where are Kazemaru and L/N?" Endou asked. The others finally took notice of the two missing members of Raimon Eleven. "Let's go search for them" he suggested, in which everyone agrees to. Everyone splits up to look for the two players.

Kidou walks around the corner. His eyes landed on something under the tree. No... not something. It's someone and it's two of them. He furrows his eyebrows at the sight as he walks closer. His eyes widen behind the goggles when he realizes it's Kazemaru and L/N.

They're both asleep with L/N's head on Kazemaru's shoulder while Kazemaru's head resting on top of L/N's. Kidou can feel his heart tightening at the sight, seeing the girl he had grown to love with another male. He can feel jealousy growing in his heart at the sight.

He hears footsteps and turn his head to see the rest of the Raimon Eleven, along with the managers. "Have you found them?" Endou asked. Kidou just turns his head to look at where Kazemaru and L/N are resting. Endou follows his line of gaze, finally spotting the two. "They both are acting closer than usual, don't you guys think?" He said. It may seem like an innocent question. But the bitterness in his tone tells a different story.

Everyone can only stare at the pair sleeping peacefully under the tree. The managers specifically notices the sudden change of mood. They turn to look at the Raimon players, noticing the frown on their faces.

'No way... could it be possible? That these boys have feelings for L/N? Kazemaru, Kidou, Endou, Fubuki, Someoka, Kabeyama, Megane, Domon, Kurimatsu and Ichinose? All of them?' Kino thought to herself. The other two managers also took notice of their sudden mood changes.

Y/N P.O.V

I slowly open my eyes. I notice I couldn't move my head because of something is resting on top of my head. I tilt my head slightly and realize it's Kazemaru's head. He's asleep with his head resting on top of mine. I took notice of the others. They are staring at us with an unreadable expressions.

"Um... hey, Kazemaru?" I said. I don't want to make a sudden move, not wanting to scare him. He wakes up from my voice. He quickly removes his head as soon as he realize the position we're in.

"Sorry, L/N. I didn't mean to rest my head on top of yours" Kazemaru said. I turn to look at him and smiles softly. I shake my head, assuring him that it's okay. He let out a sigh of relief. "Oh, hey, guys. Good morning" he said, turning to look at the others.

"Is there something you guys would like to tell us?" Endou asked. I tilt my head in confusion. He let out a sigh. "I mean... between the two of you. You've been acting closer than usual. Are you both... dating?" He said, hesitantly.

"E-Eh?" I said, eyes widening. I turn my head to look at Kazemaru, whose cheeks are starting to turn red. I let out a sigh and turn to look at Endou and the others who are waiting for our answer. "We're not dating. I couldn't sleep last night. So I decided to just sit under the tree. He came and kept me company, so I have someone to talk to. There's nothing going on between us. He was just being a caring friend" I said. Is it just my imagination, or their faces showed signs of... relieved?

I slowly move to stand up and stretch my hands above my head. "I didn't expect to sleep through the night" I said. I turn to look at Kazemaru, giving him a close-eyed smile. "Thank you so much for keeping me company last night, Kazemaru" I said. I notice his cheeks turning pink by my comment. I tilt my head in confusion. "Are you okay?" I asked.

"A-Ah... oh. Y-Yeah. I'm okay" he said. I hum softly and nod my head. I offer my hand to him. He gently grab it, allowing me to pull him up to his feet. "Did we worry everyone?" He asked, turning to look at the others.

"Well, you certainly did" Domon said. I let out a nervous laugh at his respond. "But, what's important is that you are both okay. We thought the aliens had come and took you both" he said. I feel a drop of sweat running down the side of my head at his comment. Did Kazemaru and I worried them that much just because we aren't within their sight for a few hours?

"L/N... do you mind if we talk to Kazemaru for a bit?" Kidou asked. I blink my eyes in surprise at what he said. Seems like they want to have a talk between boys. Since they also choose to leave out Touko and the managers. I just nod my head. I place my hands inside my pockets and turn around, walking away.

Kazemaru P.O.V

I furrowed my eyebrows at Kidou's request. But I just follows them nonetheless. He and the others leads us to a spot. I lean my back against the wall.

"Look, Kazemaru... I'm sure you pretty much noticed the tension between all of us. We all do, right?" Kidou said. We just nod our heads. Kidou nods his head in satisfaction that we had caught on what he's trying to say. "It's been obvious to all of us. Most specifically, the boys in this team. It's obvious that we all have feelings for L/N. What I'm trying to say is... it would be best if we keep it to ourselves. At least, until we settled our battle with the Aliea Academy" he said. I turn my head to look at the others.

I let out a sigh and nod my head. He's right about that. It would be best we didn't let L/N know that we all have feelings for her. If we told her, it would ended up being a mess as we won't be able to focus on our battle against the Aliens. Which would be bad. So, for the sake of this world's safety, I'll hold my feelings for L/N to myself. At least, until our battle is over.
