Painting With Colors of Love 「Inazuma Eleven」

White 「Innocence」- Love Pondering

A/N: This is my second Valentine fic as well as first reader fic (if it can be really said to be one). Love Pondering was written back in the 2015 and is currently the latest one-shot I have written. In many ways this is a unique fic, as it's not your typical reader fic, and I had lots of fun writing this.

As of now, I put this story down as completed, but I will be adding more chapters if I whenever I write new one-shots.

I took one last glance in the mirror and fixed my uniform, making sure it wasn't wrinkled. It was Valentine's Day after all, and even if I had no particular interest toward it, it was still an important day for girls.

After an approving look, I put my shoes on and left the house. As I had managed to leave the house earlier than usual, I still had time to use before the morning practice. I decided to use this time to visit my older brother and so started to head towards the hospital.

My brother was injured years ago and I've been trying my best to save money for his surgery. It wasn't until recently that we had finally gotten permission to go ahead with the surgery. It had gone well and at the moment my brother was doing his best with his rehabilitation.

"Nii-san," I greeted my brother who was lying on the bed while looking outside with a peaceful expression on his face. When he heard my voice, he turned around and smiled at me with the kindest smile I had ever seen. I walked to my brother and sat on the visitors chair placed next to his bed.

We chit chatted for a while about trivial stuff, and then I finally needed to be on my way to school. As I was saying goodbye to my brother I added that I would pay a visit after school. Brother smiled at me, and told me to bring him some chocolate. I waved it off, saying I would bring some, if it was within my capability.

I entered the school yard and made my way toward the changing lockers. I had almost reached my destination when all of a sudden I heard a loud yell from my right side. Turning my head, in the moment that it took me to blink and before I could do anything, I saw a person jumping high in the air and landing just before me.

They got up, holding a soccer ball firmly in their arms, and glanced at me. The moment our eyes met, the world stopped. Their round eyes were so captivating, like a starry sky. I could stare at them all day, trying to find where the constellations were hidden. Their hair looked messed up as the ribbon was barely able to keep the ponytail together. Yet, it looked picture perfect in my eyes.

Yes, all this was like coming straight from a shoujo-manga, where the heroine and the hero meet.

But there's no way this is from one!

Truthfully, I didn't even get a good look at the person, when they were already being dragged away by two others, who were yelling to keep the soccer ball safe. Still dumbfounded by what had just happened, I heard Ichino and Aoyama yelling at me to capture the thieves.

It was too late, though. When I turned towards the way the thieves had went, they were already gone. I glanced at the duo who looked frustrated, and apologised. They shook it off, telling me it wasn't my fault and the three of us headed towards the changing rooms.

As we entered the clubroom, Aoi and Tenma greeted me happily. The girl came to me giving me a Valentine chocolate and I thanked her with a light smile. I had known from the start that I would receive some from her, as the girl had said she would give one to everyone on the team.

But Tenma's chocolate was different; it was obvious from one glance. Whereas my packet was transparent and filled with small chocolate candies, Tenma's was a box wrapped in blue paper and it had a beautiful orange-colored ribbon.
