Go Wild, My Little Demon

(I originally posted to this to Ao3, thought I'd bring it to wattpad too cause why not)

Itoshi Sae was not easy to impress. In fact, if he was to really think about it, if he was to consider it hard and long enough, it was entirely plausible that he'd never felt impressed before in his life. Especially not when it came to football.

But wait. There was something different here. Deep in his chest, deep in his gut. Sae had never felt impressed. He'd never felt surprised, or shocked. Not like this. Not like he was now.

But as he watched Shidou Ryuusei's feet leave the perfectly manicured grass of the football field they played upon, as he watched his right leg extend toward the sky, boot connecting with the ball at an impossible height, he felt himself still. Felt himself pause, even for a brief moment, to take in the sight unfolding before him.

A bicycle kick. Straight into the net.

A story in which Itoshi Sae and Shidou Ryuusei find themselves playing for the same premier team in the Neo Egoist League. Tension runs high.
