Zion's POV

I wake up to the sound of my phone buzzing nonstop.

I roll over and open it up to see a bunch of notifications from an old group chat. I yawn and scroll through them.

Jess to Gay Gucci Gang: I JUST SAW THE POST

Jess to Gay Gucci Gang: link

Katie to Gay Gucci Gang: WHAT POST

Brian to Gay Gucci Gang: Aw I've missed this gc </3

Jess to Gay Gucci Gang: ZION

Jess to Gay Gucci Gang: POST

Jess to Gay Gucci Gang: LOOK link

I click on the link Jess sent. It sends me to my browser then to an Instagram post. I stare in awe. It's a link to the Sekai Taikai official account where the photos from yesterday were posted!

I don't know if I've ever been photographed so well in my life. They posted one of each captain then the shot with both captains. Robby looks so great, too. And the one of us together is too perfect. They're serious and "badass," as Johnny would say.

Katie to Gay Gucci Gang: OH MY GOD ZION

Katie to Gay Gucci Gang: ur so hot omg what run me over

I smile and click back to our group chat. It is not the first time she's said that.

Katie to Gay Gucci Gang: robby too tbh

Jess to Gay Gucci Gang: DO YOU HAVE TIME TO CALL TODAY

I frown and craft a response, knowing I want nothing more than to call them before fighting in less than two hours. I have to get ready, eat, and warmup.

Zion to Gay Gucci Gang: Honestly not really. But it is so great to hear from you all

Jess to Gay Gucci Gang: Boooooo

Jess to Gay Gucci Gang: KAT TELL REID TO LOOK AT THESE TEXTS!

Katie to Gay Gucci Gang: i can't get him to do anything. i quit <3
