Sighing, you looked up and saw the familiar trio, waving towards you with a smile on their faces, a bright one on your brother's.

Waving at them with a smile etched on yours and walked into the hallway of the stadium, it seems you need to join them later.

Arriving at the locker room, you went over to your locker and by using the license that you just got to open it, you grabbed your bag and changed into your casual clothes.

After you did, you slightly jumped when you heard a familiar voice, "[L/N]-san! You are so amazing back there!" You heard Asuto chirped and by his voice, you know he is behind you.

"Eh, really?" You chirped while untying the hair tie and let your long hair fall, flawlessly swaying behind you before turned around to look at him and grinned, "Thank you, Asuto."

This little cinnamon roll, you thought when he grinned at you and you practically see sunlight from him. Yikes, so bright.

Wearing your black cap that fits your head perfectly and your black hoodie, your palm wrapped around the doorknob, facing your teammates with a soft smile still adorned on your face,

"See you."Ruffling the cinnamon roll boy, you waved to the others. However, before you could walk out, you noticed the sad smile on Hiura's face.

"Hiura."He raised his gaze only to look in yours when you give him a quick hug, " You did well, back then."You said in a hushed tone and pulled away, giving him no time to react as he trying to process what just happened.

Patting his shoulder, you look at Golem, "You too, Golem. Your wall is amazing!" You commented, giving him a thumbs up and walked out from the room and re-closed the door.

"[L/N]-san sure is amazing."Hattori started, looking at Hiura who is now trying to cover his blushing mess face, "And it looks like she had taken an interest on someone."

***

"Ready to go?"Asked Seiya with a small smile on his face while the other duo leaning their back against a wall while waiting for you.

"Yeah." You smiled, closing your eyes for a moment while gripping your bag strap that is on your shoulder as you walked over them.

"So wanna go eat Ramen?"Suggested your brother, walking beside you with a grin on his face and you hummed, nodding your head.

"Sure."

"Sounds good to me."

"Only if someone treat us."

"Yuuma can."

"Haha, no."

"By the way, " You started, stopping them from having a glaring contest when they look at you after giving each other a last glare.

"I heard there will be a match against Seishou Gakuen and Kidokawa Seishuu, wanna watch it together?"The only female in the group suggested, entering the ramen shop that soon was greeted by the owner.

"Are? Anesan, you only wants to see the certain Flaming Ace Striker and Absolute Leader of the Pitch."The younger [L/N] male gives his older sister a smug look, saying his type of ramen to the older man and he nodded his head in understanding. They're fully unaware of a certain pair of eyes that were staring at them with the corner of their dark dreary eyes.

"Who knows. Maybe we can observe their playing techniques. "You smiled in nonchalant way and turned your head around to look at the Tactician Emperor, "Isn't that right, Yuuma?"

The said male quickly back to his cheery self and gives them a light smile, "That's our main point after all."He chuckled, parting the wooden chopsticks with a sound of snap as all of you start to dig in. He could only feel irritated with the fact that you would cheer on them, indeed he would observing them.

But to destroy them.

***

They said that they have something to deal with, something like the student of Ares was causing a problem, so you have yourself wandering around the Seishou Gakuen's stadium alone.

"Hey, [Y/N]!"

You stopped dead in your tracks and look over your shoulder, in order to look at he-who-summons-you before fully turning around to get a full view of him as you caught a glimpse of light-blonde hair that resembles the flame.

Your eyes lit up, "Shuuya!"You beamed, running to his wide open arms to catch you when you jumped into his arms as he immediately wrapped it around your small figure and spinning you in the air.

You laughed at his action when he carefully placed you back on the ground and hug you again, "I missed you so much."He stated, burying his face at the crook of your neck.

"Likewise." You replied when you finally pulled away and walked alongside with him, "So, are you nervous?"

He raised a brow at your question, smiling slightly nonetheless, "Why would I?"

Snickering at his reply, you mocked as if you are thinking hardly, "Hmmm, I don't know--Because there is Kidou, the ultimate leader of the Pitch, duh!"

He laughed at your remark, "But I'm the Flaming Ace Striker. Do you have no faith in me?" Shaking your head with a smile across your face, pushing him playfully, "Oh shut it. Do I look like that in your eyes?

"No, you look beautiful in them."He uttered the words casually, causing you took some time to process.

". . .what?"

He stopped walking and turned to look at you for a couple of seconds, "Isn't it obvious?"

You couldn't help when your sassy attitude kicked in, "The only thing that obvious if you're an idiot. How can you said that bluntly?!" A vein popped out on his forehead and you backed away.

"Haaa?!Can't you see I'm struggling to say that?!?!"Your back is now against the wall when he stood only a few centimeters, towering over you as he placed an arm beside your head, clearly trapping you, "Shorty!"

A vein appeared on your cheek, "What I could see is that you are a big moron!" You retorted, "And just because you are taller than you, it doesn't mean I can't fight you, smart ass!" From afar, both of you would look like a bickering couple as you continue having a glaring contest until–

"Pfft-" It slipped out from your mouth, using your palm to stifled the laugh while the other hand was placed on his shoulder when his current state also same with you, "S-Sorry. I-I can't h-hold it back." You managed to say through your laugh in an attempt to not to laugh but failed miserably when you clutched your own stomach.

"It's been a while since we fight like that." He managed to uttered the words as he laughed, his palm on his forehead.

After a few moments, both of you calmed down from laughing when your stomach starts to hurt and wipes the tears away they were caused from laughing like a maniac.

"By the way, how is Kidokawa Seishuu? Everything fine?" You started the normal conversation, start walking along with him to a green field behind the Seishou Academy's stadium.

"Not really actually." He replied with a sheepish smile on his handsome feature. Eventually, both of you ended up catching up of what happened after one year. He sure did tell you what happened when he was challenged by the triplets.

That's until he must go when he received a message from his coach, signalling him to accumulate with his team players as you bid farewell to him, telling him that you will be watching his match.

Walking back inside the stadium, you are currently now leaning against the concrete wall near the entrance, tapping your feet in patience when your attention fully on your digital watch as you waited for your brother and your other two best friends of Outei Tsukunomiya's students.

You jumped a little when someone and few other females squealing because who-knows-why and whipping your head around, only to see the crowd that mostly females, surrounded the entrance. Curious, you decided to take a look at what in the soccer world is happening.

***

"You gotta be kidding me."

The girl deadpanned as she stared at the three musketeers when all of you obviously are going to observe the match, they also did brought a few people as their bodyguards and of course, it surely did caught some attention.

You hear Ootani; who is standing next to you but didn't notice you– start rambling to Mikado about Nosaka and how he is perfect and filled every category in her husband wish list.

Raising your index finger, you were about to say something, however, you stopped and decided not too as you decided to flee instead and acting as if you didn't know and they're a complete stranger to you. However, your train of thought crashed as body tensed when their eyes landed on you.

Shuffling at where you are standing nervously, you turned your body around so your back is facing them, much to their dismay so Yuuma decided to make a scene with the help of yours without your knowledge as you practically could hear him smirking.

Oh shit–

"Ah, [Y/N]."You are way too late when you could feel everyone gaze is now on you, starting to make you to scold him late and mentally noted it in your mind.

Taking a deep breath to face this up-coming madness, turning around, you now face to face with a certain red-haired male who has his knee on the ground as if he is proposing.

"Stand up will you, that's floor is dirty."You commented, your half-shut eyes observing down his dreary grey eyes when a sigh slipped out from your lips as you offered your hand for him to grab it.

Grabbing your hand softly in his, nonchalantly flashing you with a charming smile which did flatter the heart of other females aside from you, though a faint blush could be seen across your face, "Sorry, my empress."

"And you shouldn't have to drawn out so many attention." You muttered and pulled your cap lower to hide your face, enough for him to hear what you said as you lifted your head to look at him when he stood up. Obviously, he is taller than you.

"It's not my fault that they have their attention all on me."He whispered, caressing your cheek softly before pulled your cap away and let your hair down which caused your eyes widened in shock when everyone could see your face.

Earlier, you only received a glare from his fangirls, however, now you received a gasp in awe and other positive response except from the strawberry blonde haired girl who could only stare from afar with sorrow eyes while standing next to Ootani who currently fangirling when she saw you and your brother including Nosaka.

"You should have show your face more."He uttered in loving tone as he brushed off some of your stray strands hair behind your ear and you rolled your eyes playfully, taking his hand that was playing your hair in yours, "Okay, stop it. That's too cheesy."

A grin spread across his face and nonchalantly wrapped an arm around your shoulder with a small 'oof' slipped past your lips, bringing you to the others and start walking to your seat.

"Um . . . Don't you think he is kind of . . ."Miura started but trailed off when he couldn't find the perfect word, " Pfft- nevermind it. Let's just go."He brushed it off, walking behind them with his hands shoved inside his pockets, casually whistling with Seiya walking next to him.

***

Exhaling a loud sigh, "I'll murder you later after what you did just now, Yuuma." You whispered in a monotone voice, plotting a murder crime with him as the victim, placing forcefully your cap on your brother's head, groaning when his view was concealed by the object before re-adjusting it on his head.

"You know me too well that I hate attention."

"Now, now, don't be mad. I'm sorry." Opening one of your eyes to take a peek of a ridiculously wonderful smell that trespassing your nasal cavity. There he is, handing you a full bowl of popcorns that were coated with caramel and a charming smile across his calm face.

"Apology accepted." You grinned, taking the bowl in your arms before flashing a smile to the male, unaware of Miura's hand that grabbed a handful of popcorns and quickly plopping them inside his mouth before you could notice it.

You turned your head back to look at the match and sighed, "You just took some, right?"

"Yes."He replied nonchalantly munching it as it makes a loud sound. Obviously trying to annoy you.

"Please stop, it's annoying."

"Then beg."

And that caused him to earned a hit at the back of his head with Nosaka and Nishikage stared at the two of you in amusement when you two started to bickering with each other.

Yes, you two are twin and indeed close which made you to protect each other. Even so, it doesn't mean that you never fight.
