[Kengkla x Techno] Unfinished Business (Love by Chance Fanfic)

Chapter 11 - Part 2

Despite how much he wanted to see Techno, Kengkla didn't look forward to attending the game on Friday.

He doesn't understand why Techno finds football so fun. From the needlessly complex rules to the over-enthusiastic fans to the greasy food, there's nothing fun about it. He remembers ditching school once for an entire week just to avoid listening to his friends talk about the world cup.

If it wasn't for Techno, he would eliminate the sport completely from his life. It's the only thing that keeps him from losing his sanity at games.

"Where's my wife?" Kengkla mumbles to himself as he makes his way through the crowded bleachers toward the seats closest to Techno's bench. He has a grin on his face, hands in his pants pockets, as he finds an empty seat in the row adjacent to the sports science bench. It's when he takes a seat, staring off in the distance to spot Techno on the field that he accidentally sits on someone's purse.

It's a bit shocking that a girl would sit so close to the field, most taking a seat near the cheer squad or at the back with their football-loving boyfriend. He struggles to catch himself, to reach out and grab the purse from underneath him, and a hand closes around the purse. Soft fingers press against his skin, and "Hey!" a feminine voice yells, catching Kengkla off guard. When he lets go of the purse and glances up, he is met with a pair of light brown eyes, narrowed at him in what is misplaced anger.

She's shorter than Kengkla with long black hair, curled purposefully around her face, and she's wearing a college uniform of a black shirt and grey button-up, obviously belonging to another school. Her features are feminine with light skin and a small frame, but her frown says she's no one to mess with. "Are you trying to steal from me?" She hisses at Kengkla, standing up from her seat on the bench.

It draws some attention, and Kengkla can feel his heart thud in his chest, panicking at the thought of getting kicked out before he sees Techno. "Excuse me, P'," He says with a frown, waiing to her. "I didn't see your purse when I sat. I'm sorry." Kengkla uses the same faux polite voice when he speaks to Techno most of the time, except he doesn't need to fake happiness with Techno.

He gets a smile in response, and she sits back down on the bench, patting the seat next to her. "Sit down then," She suggests.

Kengkla stares for a moment. Her reaction is unexpected, but he nods and takes a seat next to her, sitting a good distance away. Instead of trying to make conversation, he turns away from her to stare out at the field. It's not difficult to spot Techno. He might blend in a little better with the opposing team, but he's the only one that looks the way he does on his team. But it's not only his looks that makes Techno easy to notice. He has an energy to his playing that leads him to flail his arms through the air as if he's on a stage, gesturing wildly at his teammates to command them across the field.

The cheers around him increase in volume, and with his little knowledge of soccer, he doesn't understand what's going on. His eyes scan the field before stopping on Can with the ball, kicking it in front of him toward the goal. Techno is running in front of him, waving at Can while he tries to stay away from a player on the opposing team.

"They're going to score!" The girl sitting next to him cheers, throwing her hands up in the air as she stands up. "You can do it!" She catches his attention for a moment, and Kengkla stares at her, wondering why someone from another college would cheer for Techno's team.

He returns to watching the game, trying to understand the play at hand. Can's still trying to keep the ball, kicking at it while glaring at another player, until Techno yells something. Then he sees Can's shoulders tense up before kicking the ball between another player's legs over to Techno, who stops it in front of him. When the ball doesn't get stolen immediately, the crowd screams so loud that Kengkla stands up in shock, glancing behind him at the cheering students. He really had no idea how popular Techno's team was here.
