The other night, this night, night after night, he just couldn't take it anymore. Nishikage couldn't hold his tears anymore.
Nosaka, who Nishikage loved so much, didn't care about him anymore. The taller boy would do anything for the shorter one, but it wasn't enough. When Nosaka needed, he would ask for his help, but when didn't, he wouldn't even look at him. And it started to affect Nishikage's mood. Every day he would wake up to see Nosaka with his new friends... and every night, the taller boy breaks, he's alone, again... or he thought so.
It was a day like any other. Nishikage was buying some drinks for Nosaka, he was very happy that he had found Nosaka's favorite juice, he couldn't wait to see the boy he admires so much, smiling. But... after buying the drinks, Nishikage walks towards where he had seen Nosaka for the last time, but he wasn't there. Searching a bit more, Nishikage finds him talking with Ichihoshi. But... it doesn't mean anything, right? The taller boy approached anyway, however as he got closer he noticed that Nosaka was already drinking his favorite juice... Ichihoshi had brought to him.

Again...? How did he know Nosaka loves that juice...? How is he so fast?
Nishikage kept staring, he wasn't too far, and eventually Nosaka noticed him, but ignored, and it was in that moment that Nishikage's heart... broke.
- Hey, Nishikage, can I talk to you? - Asks a voice behind the broken boy, who was too shocked to hear anything. - Hey! - They puts a hand on Nishikage's shoulder.
As he felt the touch of a hand on his shoulder, the boy woke up from his trance, and noticed who was beside him. It was Saginuma Osamu.
- Saginuma...? - murmurs Nishikage still a bit dizzy.
- Ah... I was wondering if we could train together a little bit...? Since we are both goalkeepers, and I would like to receive some advices.
- From me? - Questions Nishikage surprised at hearing this, it was the first time someone asked for his advices. Usually people would only ask for his help because he's strong, but he never received compliments for being himself.
And that's how it started...
...
They met at the stadium later that day, so they could train together. Since both were goalkeepers, they asked for Goujin to help them in the training, but it would be Nishikage the one to give some advices to Saginuma, or... this is what he thought.
The first shoot, it would be Saginuma stopping it, so that Nishikage could help him improving. Goujin scores. Saginuma gets up angry at himself, but he turns to look at the other goalkeeper, waiting for his opinion.
- So... Nishikage, what do I need to improve?
Actually Nishikage didn't pay attention at all at what had just happened, he was lost in thoughts, but he didn't want to let them know about it.
