Tenma's POV

After finishing the closing ceremony, Coach Endou gave all of us a treat at a Barbeque Restaurant. All of us enjoyed the dinner we got and left.  

"THANK YOU FOR THE MEAL" All of us prayed before we started our meal. 

"Make sure to fill your selves up. You guys as well." Coach Endou said looking at the Zodiac members.

All of them were unmasked and wearing the jersey we wore before. But there was a slight tension with Raimon and Zodiacs a bit. Most likely cause of the fight we had for the avatar. I tried my best to cut the tension telling them it was my idea and such as since I learnt it all at fifth sector.

"I'm just mad about the you hurting my best friend." Shindou told to them. 

Haru gasped slightly before speaking. "Oh, that was me." She smiled. All of them widen their eyes in surprise. I mean Haru was a manager so they never expected her to play soccer at all.

"I didn't know you played soccer." Kirino said.

"I'm in club of soccer. Of course I have played it." Haru replied.

"I'm still upset." Shindou pouted slightly.

"Geez, Krinio-senpai! I apologize about attacking you that day." Haru apologized to Kirino.

"I guess it's fine for now." He replied to her.

"All I want to say is I did all this for the money Haru will give us." Matatagi stated.

"No need to brag about becoming slighting richer Matatagi." Haru responded.

"Wow, I can't believe you were betraying us." Sakura told Matatagi

"What are you talking about?" Matatagi questioned.

"We all made a  pact not to take anymore money from her." Ibuki stated.

"Hey! I'm broke I need the money." Matatagi declared.

"Peasants" Kyle coughed.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY?" Matatagi screamed at Kyle.

Laughter filled the room. I guess the tension is finally gone. It wasn't long before the everyone continued a conversation about the match and the souls. After while the conversation got turn to Coach Endou by Seto.

"Coach Endou you owe us a picture of the baby you know." She asked him.

"Oh right, Here you go." Coach Endou gave hid phone away with the picture of his baby on the lock screen.

"Oh my god that's adorable? Is it a boy or a girl?" Akane asked.

"A boy. His name is Haru." Coach Endou replied.

Everyone turn to Endou and then turn to Haru slowly.

"Wait, I did not name him after Haru. Natsumi named him after the season. Since it's spring and she was named after the summer." Coach Endou explained.

"Aww that sucks." Haru pouted.

After we all had finished out meals, I left with Shinsuke and Aoi to head back home. I told them about what I had done for the last year along with the zodiac members. I revealed the secrets o had kept for the past 2 months. Shinsuke parted ways to head t hid place. Aoi and I slowly walked to her house. There was a silence going on since it was a bit awkward.

"So, Katsuki said you had something to say to me?" I asked her remembering what Katsuki mentioned before the match started.

She paused and stood silently.  I walked over to her as I leaned to her face. Our eyes met and I spoke. "It's alright. You can tell me when you're ready." I pulled my face back but was immediately hugged by Aoi. She dropped her bag onto the ground. As her head laid on my shoulder, I held her back with my arms around her waist.

"I like you." I heard a whisper in my ear. Aoi pulled back as she stared at me in surprise. There was a bright red blush on her face. I soften my gaze at her before I kissed her forehead. "I like you too, Aoi." I told her.

She hugged me back as we both just held each other. She again pulled away as she stood on tip toes and I immediately stepped back as she almost fell but she balanced her self. She looked at me in surprise. All I know is that my face was blushing very hard.

"I don't think I want to do that yet. I mean I really like you but... " I stuttered.

She laughed for a while before speaking. "Looks like someone is shy after all."

"I'm not shy, just not the moment yet." I replied.

"Sure" She said as she picked her bag and said her goodbye. I waved back to her before heading back home. With a bit of excitement I started skipping home. When I arrived home I was approached by my younger brother who asked about my grin but I just lifted him up and danced with him. He fought back pretty hard and ran to his room after calling me names. 

I could not even sleep that night because of what happened.

It's been two weeks after the football frontier tournament. From what I have heard they plan to host another on in Autumn. So we were all pretty excited for that one. We practiced daily everyday and after practice, I'd go home with Aoi and Shinsuke. 

When Shinsuke part ways with the both of us, we usually go to my place and stay together to finish homework and such. Sometimes we would hold hands and just stay on our phones. When ever Aki-nee walk in with snack we'd separate and sit away from each other. We haven't really told anyone about the two of us being together.

We decided to keep it a secret for now. I don't think I can handle the teasing from the others yet. Since summer vacation was coming soon, I decided to plan a summer for the two of us together. Plans like going to the beach visiting festivals as such. But here in the city it was most likely to be packed so I reached out to my parents.

At school during lunch time I spoke to Aoi about it. 

"Hey what do you think about spending the summer at my parents inn?" I asked her.

"In Okinawa?" She asked.

"Yeah, its been a while since I've been home as well so." I told her.

"I guess that would be fun. I'm gonna have to talk to my parents about taking a trip." She replied.

"What Trip?" Haru spoke all of a sudden from behind me.

"H-haru?" I stuttered. "We are just talking about going on a trip"

"Hmm, really? Both of you together alone?" She teased us.

"OF COURSE NOT. Tenma wanted to take the whole team for a trip to his inn back in Okinawa." Aoi lied as she clearly panicked. I turned to her with my jaw dropped but I laughed off and agreed to her.

"Yup, Since we won the championship, I thought trip would make the team happy." I told Haru.

"I see, you know if you want I'm willing to help out with the trip." She replied.

"Really?" I asked.

"OF course, I'm pretty wealthy plus it would be good if the sponsor treats the team as well." She smirked.

"That would be awesome. I will talk to my dad about it after I go home today." I told her.

"Alright, I can't wait for the trip." Haru said cheerfully as she left saying bye.

I turned to Aoi slowly. "You know you could tell her the truth."

"What? Then why did you not tell?" She asked me.

"Well I thought you weren't ready." I remarked.

"I don't think I am yet actually." She replied.

"It's okay. When we both are ready we will tell them." I reassured her. I reached out and held her hand.

That night I dialed my dad to talk about the trip. Summer was gonna start in a week and it would be better to book for the rooms as everything.

"Hey dad." I spoke to my dad. 

"Hello, Tenma. What's wrong son?" He asked me bluntly.

"What do you mean?" I asked him confused.

"You calling me all of a sudden is surprising. Cut to the chase." He replied.

"Well i wanted to ask if it would be possible to book a few rooms in the inn for my soccer team." I asked him.

"I'm sorry, team?" He question in confusion.

"Yes, I wanted to do something for them. Plus the sponsor's daughter, Haru she said she is willing to help out as well." I explained to him.

"Alright, how many people are coming? how many females and males? How many adults and children?" He asked me.

"Uhh... I'll talk to the team and let you know." I replied. I ended the phone call and took out a book from my page as I noted down everyone's name. Tomorrow I decided to ask all of them. Welp, looks like I won't have the trip I was hoping with Aoi but it's fine. It will be fun to hang out with the team as well.
