"Hey, (Y/N). Do you want to go play some football?" Joshua put his head on my lap, trying to get my attention away from the TV.
"Hmm?" I ripped my eyes from Adventure Time and looked down at Joshua, who smiled sweetly.
"I said," he chuckled, "Do you want to play some football?"
I nodded, "why not?"
He grinned, "I'll go call the boys to meet us at the oval!"
He rolled off the couch and ran towards his phone.
I laughed and turned off the TV, going to change out of my pjs into something more appropriate. When I returned to the lounge room, I saw Joshua sprawled out on the couch, the opening scene of Adventure Time playing on the TV.
"I thought you wanted to go play football?" I raised an eyebrow.
"I do! I was just waiting for you!" Joshua jumped up and ran over to me. "Let's go!"
Joshua held my hand, entwining our fingers as we walked towards the football oval. I smiled happily to myself, totally smitten.
When we arrived we were greeted by the rest of seventeen, who had already started playing. As soon as they saw us they stopped what they were doing and rushed over to us, laughing gleefully.
"Hey guys!!" Hoshi came up and hugged us both. "We've been waiting for you! And because you two were the last ones here, you are officially the captains!"
"Alright," Joshua laughed. "Let's choose our teams. (Y/N), you go first."
I nodded, "Wonwoo, come on over here."
Wonwoo jogged over, giving me a high five as he came and stood next to me.
"Vernon," Joshua grinned, giving Vernon a fist bump.
In the end, there were two even teams. My team consisted of Wonwoo, Mingyu, Woozi, Jeonghan, Dino and Jun, while Joshua's team consisted of Seungkwan, DK, Hoshi, The8, S.coups and Vernon.
"Ok, everyone, set yourselves up!" Joshua shouted as we all ran to our positions. He grabbed the football and stood in the middle of the field. "Are you all ready?"
We all shouted in reply, and then the game began.
Joshua threw the ball over to Vernon, who caught it and started running to their goal.
"Not today!" Wonwoo shouted, barrelling into Vernon.
They both rolled onto the floor, writhing around. Vernon finally managed to escape and threw the ball, hoping someone from his team would catch it. Unfortunately for him, Woozi jumped up and caught it, kicking it to Mingyu. Mingyu started running towards our goal, Hoshi hot on his heels. Mingyu screamed, handballing the ball to Jeonghan. Jeonghan stood there for a second, ball in hand. I screamed at him to shoot for goal, but it was too late: S.coups ran straight into him, allowing The8 to get the ball. The8 turned around, running back to his goal. He kicked the ball straight into the goal, screeching in triumph. The rest of his team crowded around him, lifting him up in the air.
"Don't worry guys, we can still win this!" I yelled to my team, all of them cheering in reply.
Twenty minutes later and it was a tie.
"Last goal wins!" Dino shouted excitedly.
Before we knew it the ball was in the air and everyone rushed for it. Mingyu hit it towards Wonwoo, who ran toward our goal. I screamed at Wonwoo to get a goal. He didn't, and would regret it for the rest of his life. He tripped on his own feet and felt flat on his face, so DK grabbed the ball from his hands and rushed back towards the opposite end of the field. Woozi and Jeonghan then tackled him to the ground as Dino stole the ball. He kicked it to Jun, who ran and kicked the ball to me. I caught it and started to run back up the field, dodging the other team. I was halfway down the field when I saw Joshua blocking my path. I groaned. He was not going to let me pass and get that goal. I still ran, getting closer each second to both Joshua and the goal. When I reached him, I tried running around him, and for a second, it worked. I cried out in joy and disbelief at my success. But my joy was short-lived as Joshua ran back in front of me, wrapping his arms around my stomach and bringing us both down to the ground. I screamed and squirmed around, trying to get out of his grip. Joshua just laughed, trying to get the ball. He lied on top of me, not letting me go. I looked around the best I could, trying to find an escape route. I saw Wonwoo running towards me, and took the opportunity to get rid of the ball.
