𝚂𝚒𝚍𝚎 𝚂𝚝𝚘𝚛𝚢: 𝚁𝚎𝚞𝚗𝚒𝚘𝚗 (𝟸)

Three Years Ago~
"Y/n sweetie! You're back already?"
"Yup..."

It was the weekend, a time you liked to spend with Chigiri... well, when you could at least. Lately, it seemed like his schedule kept him away from you. You knew it wasn't his fault, he couldn't help it.

This is the third time in a row he's canceled because of practice... I mean... It makes sense... What was I expecting?

RING!

"Hello?", you answered quickly, hoping it was Chigiri.

"Heard the red-head canceled on you again"

"Oh", your mood sours, "It's just you Rin..."

"Well sorry jeez...", he scoffs, "I'll hang up then–"

"No no I was kidding!", you sigh, curling into a ball on your bed, "Sorry... I'm just feeling... well–"

"Sad?", he finishes your sentence, bouncing a soccer ball off the wall.

"Yeah, something like that...", you grimace, "Is Chigiri giving it his all there?"

Rin doesn't appreciate you using his time with you as a way to talk about Chigiri, but he complies since he knows it's a good distraction for you.

"Yeah... He was the last one to go to bed last night"

That explains why he didn't call me last night....

You smile, "That's good to hear. Although I am worried he isn't eating properly... What about you? You still–?"

"My answer is the same as it was last time. Yes, I follow the diet plan and yes I will continue to follow it"

Despite your lack of interactions with Chigiri, it was nice to know your bond with Rin was getting stronger. You couldn't help but feel a little bad to be taking up his time though.

"Hey Rin... You sure I'm not distracting you–?"

"Ah jeez, this again?", he grunts, lying down in his own bed, "I told you already... I give 110% of my effort into everything, which is why it doesn't matter if I spend ten minutes of my day talking to you"

I guess... I just wished Chigiri was like that...

"You're thinking about that red-head again aren't you...."

"That obvious huh...", you say with a scoff, "Yeah... I guess I'm just... Well..."

Chigiri wasn't like Rin, and you knew it. This was his dream, so you knew you couldn't ask him to change his schedule just for you. There were gonna be days where you couldn't see or talk to him, and you knew that.

I just... I just didn't think it would hurt this much...

Your phone started buzzing again, and this time it WAS Chigiri. Your heart swells and you hesitate to answer. You're not mad, that's not it... But...

"Uhh, I gotta go Rin. Thanks for the talk"
"Hm? Sure, no prob–"

You hang up to answer Chigiri's call, biting your nail to ease the nerves you get when he answers.

"Y/n?"

His voice... He sounds... tired? No.. distressed? Yeah, that's it...

You muster up a smile, even though he can't see it, "Hey Hyouma... Did you finish your–"

"Let's go out!"
"Wh–Wht? Right now?"

Your clock reads 6:17 p.m. Would the U-20 even permit him to go out this late? His curfew was pretty strict.
