Saving Grace [Inazuma Eleven Ares x OC]

Recovery

The next day, I was finally discharged from the hospital.The doctor explained that my ankle was thankfully not badly severe but will take weeks of rehabilitation

"Please don't be stubborn if you continue to rest this time then it might only take a few weeks of recovery"They scolded, I gladly thanked them in return.Hopefully thing don't take worse from there..

I sat on a nearby bench underneath the tree for shade.I tiredly sighed, at this rate I don't have any use for the team..

My recklessness almost made me unable to play soccer anymore..

"Yosano Amari?"An unfamiliar voice called, I looked behind to see the fuschia haired boy approaching my seat

There was a moment of hesitation."Nosaka...Yuuma?"I  spoke

"You've heard of me..that saves me the introductions"He said."I watched your game against Seishou Academy.."

I looked down the ground."I didn't do much that match.."I muttered

"No..I believe it's the opposite you gave Raimon something worth fighting for.."

"What do you mean?.."

"I've watched your previous matches, your resolve was the driving force that lead them to victory"

"That's..very observant of you.."

"Thank you.. it's a habit of mine"He replied."May I?"

I pat the seat beside me, gesturing him to sit.He gently sat down."You know I envy you Yosano san.."He began

"Why?"I asked

I saw him look up the sky. I heard the trees rustle behind us."Because your plays are free.. like an angel who spread their wings to fly to the sky"

"That's a beautiful analogy.."I smiled

"Thank you..what do you think I am?"

"Well I don't know you fully yet..I guess you're like a fog mysterious and unclear..waiting to be uncovered"

"That's a great analogy too.."He replied

"Thanks"

"Tell me Yosano san can a bird freed from a cage fly alone and explore the world?"He suddenly asked, I thought for a bit..

"It can't.."I answered

"Why do you think so?"

"Because birds fly in flocks right?..nobody flies alone and expect themselves to survive..the world can be unpredictable and harsh.In a way aren't we all birds.."I lightly chuckled.I looked back to Nosaka his mouth left agape but his eyes urges me to continue

"We continue to fight with our lives everyday and manage to survive.Like birds there are birds who continue to strive in the sky while there are birds who are shackled to the ground.Unable to fly and move forward out of fear of the unknown.We all deserve to be free and live our lives to the fullest"

"How exactly do you live life to the fullest?"He asked

"you find your spark"

"My spark?"

"It's your sense of purpose"

"But what if you don't have one?"

"It's alright to feel lost.You can't expect to find your spark that easily.Maybe you'll find someone who has.One's spark always leads to another..a friend of mine used to say that.."I weakly smiled, I felt the brisk fresh cold air swept my skin

I tensed up from the sudden silence."It's a very philosophical subject..I tend to question the value of life.."I sheepishly smiled, scratching the back of my nape
