The whistle blew and Reo grinned as he kicked off to Agi. "Let's take back the lead!"
We all moved into action and my eyes immediately shifted to where Chris Prince was sprinting towards us with a grin.
Agi ran towards Rin with focused eyes. "I am attacking this time!"
The gaze of our center forward narrowed before Rin responded and charged at him. But Agi ripped off to the side as soon as there was a reaction, lunging down field in large strides. My eyes widened. Uh oh.
Charles immediately tried to corner him off with Karasu's help as I ran parallel to them on the opposite side of the field. Agi juggled the ball up in an attempt to dash around but Karasu was faster. He kicked the ball out of midair towards the middle of the field with a chuckle.
"Incoming!" the blue eyed boy yelled out.
Nanase sprinted to get to it with gritted teeth, his fists clutched tightly as his foot reached to grab it. "I'll get to it!"
"Too slow!" Prince darted past him, snagging the ball in his tow. A trademark grin spread across his face. "Like taking candy from a-"
"Asshole!" Shido slammed into him with his shoulder, throwing the unsuspecting blonde off balance. He smirked down at Prince's wide eyed expression. "Pretty guys like you are only good for one thing."
Prince made a face before glaring up at Shido and shoving back. "Back off, tan salon."
"Keep being a distraction, freak show," Rin muttered, running up to take the ball back.
"Me? A distraction?" Shido scoffed, holding Prince back with one arm and trying to reach the ball with his own leg. "You're the distraction, under eyelashes!"
Prince grunted before kicking the ball away. "Get off of me!"
I watched the ball sail straight for Nagi and I sprinted towards him and took a deep breath. Nagi caught the ball with one foot and murmured, "It's mine."
"Nope!" I slid in and knocked it up and away from him.
Nagi looked down at me like he expected this. "You fell for my trap.... literally." His back leg lifted, yanking the ball back out of my reach as his right hand grabbed onto my shoulder and tried to push me away. He applied a generous amount of strength and I let out the breath I was holding in slight surprise. "I created this move just for you, High Flyer."
I switched legs, leaping up and pushing down on his own shoulder to give me more range. "That was really thoughtful of you, Nagi." Even though he was trying to push me down, my grip on his shoulder tightened as my left leg extended out and tossed it up again. "But I know you better than that."
Nagi stiffened and moved his right leg to try and get back the control at the same time as I jumped up to headbutt it away. However I guess he lost his balance because suddenly I felt all his weight began to drag me down. My eyes widened as I was yanked out of reach.
