A Different Kind of Borrower

Chapter 3. Football Practice

Rai's POV

I remember football's rules. There are 22 players, 11 on each team, and they kick a ball in a 70 cm field until it reaches a net.

Now we are going to the practice in Sho's car. Sho has navy blue hair and blue eyes. I have always found weird to look at Sho, he looks really similar to my father.

Ryu's POV

Dad and I arrive to the field, just in time. I hide Rai inside my bag, nobody can notice him. Dad sits down while I go with my trainer.

"Ok kids, be prepared! We will have a game against the Akibahara team in some days, so we need to win this time!"

The Akibahara team! We lost against them the last time, we need to win now.

"Go to your positions!"

We have to defeat them to be in the big game against Kyoto. Bon and I have some things to talk about.

"Ryuto! Go to your position and stop looking at the floor!"

"Sorry Sensei!"

"Hahaha, Himura-kun is lost again!"

"Stop that Yoshimaru, we need to focus on the practice"

"Well, well"

"Let's start today's, 2037/April/15, practice... now!!!"

Rai's POV

It's time to do something stupid.

I start looking inside the bag to find the zipper.

I feel something weird. This is not the zipper, but I will take it.

Gotcha! I open the zipper to see what I have in my hand.

Is... Is this a condom?

I do not want to know why he has one.

I go out of the bag. This field is huge for me; I have to take the chance to run through it.

I start running until I notice something. Sho is looking right at me.

Is he looking at me? Or is he just looking at the grass?

I continue running anyway.

I am almost on the halfway. This place is amazingly huge for a borrower like me. I wonder how it is to humans.

I continue running. This place is- PAM

THE FUCKING BALL ALMOST KILLED ME.

"Himura-kun, go for it"

I hide behind the ball until Ryu come to pick it up.

"Rai, what are you doing here?"

He is speaking in a really low voice. I think does not want to be heard by the others.

"I was walking until the ball came here"

"I told to do NOT do something stupid. As a punishment, you will be inside my sock for the rest of the afternoon"

"No, no, no! All but that!"

The idiot got me with his hand and put me inside his fucking sock!

"You motherfucking asshole! God damn it, the smell is nasty as fuck! Fuck you!"

Ryu's POV

I can feel that he moves inside my sock. I think he is trying to say something. But I cannot hear him. I need to focus on my practice.

Sho's POV

Ryu thinks he is doing a great job hiding Rai. Maybe to the others, but not to me. I clearly saw him going out of the bag.

Arrietty and I talked about hiding him from me until he was 14. At least he will be 14 in 2 days. I have important things to talk about with Rai.
