"I don't play soccer, so don't ask." (Y/N) (L/N), child of the great (F/N) (L/N), former world champion turned coach, was once known as a prodigy in the leagues of soccer, making a name for themselves as they played alongside one of the best clubs in all of Europe. Yet, the universe always had a way of inflicting equal harm on those it favours. In a freak car accident, (Y/N) lost the two things most dear to their heart: their father and along with him, their reason to play. Now lacking the motivation that once fuelled them, (Y/N) was understandably distraught when their friend dragged them into Japan's U-20 team. However, this might just be the exact switchup they needed to rediscover their love of soccer. --- Desiderium [n] an ardent desire or longing; especially: a feeling of loss or grief for something lost --- [Blue Lock is a manga by Muneyuki Kaneshiro] Started July 25 2023 Finished September 30 2023

Y/N L/N hates Itoshi Sae. And he isn't even sure if Sae knows who he is. He hates his cold, detached attitude. He hates how good he is at passing, at dribbling, at practically everything. And most of all, he hates how they've been on the same team for months now, and the midfielder still hasn't spoken more than a few words to him. So yeah. He hates Sae. But does that hate really go both ways?
