Meet the U-20!

Author pov.

One hand is covering your lower face while the other holds the arm up so it doesn't slip. Your eyes have been focused on one point at the floor for a while now.

"Let me get this straight..." You look up to face Ego who has been watching you with unamused eyes, "The Itoshi Sae wants me and Shidou to play for the U-20 National team because he doesn't like their play...?"

"For the nth time. Yes." The four eyes crosses his arms and leans back against his chair.

You cover your face with your hands and lean forward so that your hair falls around your covered face.

'What. The. Fuck.' A sigh leaves your lips before you stand straight again and face Ego with a scowl.

"When will he be here?"

"45 minutes." He twirls around in his chair observing some data again ere he muttered something under his breath.

"You have been such a good asset to the team, now i have to plan everything over again..."

Your lips twitch at his words wanting to say something so badly but you keep your mouth shut and press them together into a thin line.

"Go and pack the things you need, head to the punishment room after." Tipping sounds come from his direction and different tabs open on two of the screens.

Your eyes linger on the tabs being opened and yours and Shidous icons popping up.

"Alright." With a turn you move to leave but Egos words stop you for a second.

"Don't hold back when you face of against them."

"...I won't." A small smile draws over your lips and you step out of his office.

~•~

A bag with your things hangs over your shoulder as you're on your way to the punishment room in which Shidou is still in, probably.

You turn one last corner before spotting the rooms entrance already open and Anri standing in the door.

Her face is scrunched up in worry and her posture shows how uncomfortable she is letting Shidou out after what he pulled of against Rin.

"Teiri san." The small female turns around with a startled face but it quickly switches to one of relief.

"(L/n) kun. Good that you're already here." You nod in response your eyes traveling to the inside of the room.

Inside as expected Shidou stood already free of his restraints with a devilish smirk on his face. Infront of him stood a male a bit smaller than the blonde before him with pale wine red hair.

'That's probably Sae Itoshi...'

Your grip around the strap of your bag gets stronger some small veins appearing.

Shidou perks up as his down cast eyes fall onto the other pair of shoes at the door slowly his eyes travel up the legs until they reach the face of the newly arrived person.

"Ah! Who would've thought your the other player, Mother~" His grin widens further after seeing your displeased expression. Sae turns around aswell now coming face to face with you.

"Haru (L/n)."

You press your lips into a thin line and nod your head not wanting to entertain him with a verbal response.

Anri who's standing behind you shifts slightly before speaking up, "Now that both of the players you chose are here...will you leave, Itoshi kun?"

"Yes, we'll leave now, and send my regards to Ego." His words come out without much emotion behind them as his blank gaze bores into Anri.

She nods in response and steps out of the way letting Sae pass as well as Shidou.

Now that the older Itoshi is standing in front of you you notice that he's a bit smaller than you. A small chuckle almost leaves your lips at the realization.

'He's older but Rin is quite a bit taller.'

~•~

The three of you + Saes manager are now sitting in a car that's on its way to the training camp with the U-20 national team.

You're seated behind the drivers seat where the manager is sitting with Shidou on your left and Sae on the passenger seat.

With one arm leaning on the window and the other holding your phone you scroll through social media when suddenly a message pops up on the top of your screen.

New message from

✧Cavasoz✧

A small sweatdrop slides down your temple and a nervous smile stretches over your lips.

'huh...?'

You click onto the messages and your chat history with Pablo opens up on your screen.

Heya Haru!!!I

mma need your help with a totally

cute decision (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)

Sure, what's it about?

You see i found a cute small kitty just now but i don't knowwhat to name him(⁠･ั⁠ω⁠･ั⁠)

What a cutie ♡ What do you think about naming him Tora?

FANTÁSTICO!!! (⁠^⁠._.⁠^⁠)It's japanese for tiger right?(⁠✯⁠ᴗ⁠✯⁠)

Yep! :>

Alrighty. Thank yooouuu!!!!(⁠づ⁠￣⁠ ⁠³⁠￣⁠)⁠づ

No problem, really. Have nothing to do anyway.

Okey! Then bye bye!!Hope you have a sweet day!!!!(⁠*⁠^⁠▽⁠^⁠*⁠)

See ya. (⁠.⁠ ⁠❛⁠ ⁠ᴗ⁠ ⁠❛⁠.⁠)

A quiet chuckle leaves your lips which causes Shidous eyes to swipe to your direction.

"What got ya smiling like that?"

You turn your head to him with a small grin,"Nothing important, don't worry about it."

He responds with a shrug and turns forward again. "He Sae-chan~ how much longer does it take~"

The auburn haired male just gazes into the rear mirror,"You're acting like a little kid it's barely been 10 minutes."

Shidou crosses his arms behind his head,"Yeah too looonngggg...."

You just side-eye the blonde with a raised eyebrow,"Seriously. How come you're acting so sweet with the older but not the younger one?"

Sae also raises an eyebrow at that 'Is he talking about Rin?'

"Hmmm? Dunno." Shidou shrugs at your question before turning back to Sae to pester him more.

'Well atleast he doesn't annoy me...'

~•~

"I've been wondering...Where did Haru run of to?" Yukimiya asks into the group some cards in his hand that he gazes at before putting one on a pile in the middle of a table.

The group consists of Karasu, Otoya, Hiori, Nanase, Himizu and Yukimiya.

"That's actually a good question." Himizu leans onto his chair with crossed arms. He's already won the game.

"Hm, haven't really interacted with him much yet but didn't see him either..." The cyan blue haired boy throws in a card.

"Oi, Hiori don't throw a 'draw 2' in on me..." Otoya scowls picking two cards from the stack."Maybe he's still with Mikage."

Karasu shakes his head at that,"No i saw him earlier with a bag slung over his shoulder...but he was gone so fast that i couldn't approach him."

"A bag?"

"Hm."

"Maybe he had to do an arrand for Ego-san?" Nanase chimes in while putting his last card onto the pile,"Uno."

"Hah?!"

"Hey Nanase!"

"You guys are too loud!" Himizu exclaims with an annoyed expression.

~•~

A sneeze leaves you after you stepped out of the car. You rub your nose with a handkerchief that Saes manager gave you right after.

"Gesundheit! Don't tell me you're catching a cold." Shidou exclaims walking up beside you with his signature smirk.

"Thank you, i'm perfectly fine." You respond while walking after Sae who already entered the building where the training camp will take place.

"Don't be so snappy, Mom~"

"Don't call me that!" Your voice echos from inside the lobby where Sae stood waiting. Shidou chuckles and enters behind you.

"Alright Shidou, (L/n) please put on these jackets." Saes manager of who you were informed is called Dabadie Gilorent, says handing you and the blonde troublemaker each a package.

"'kay."

"Okay."

~•~

After having put away your bags and put on the clothes you got from Dabadie both you and Shidou found yourself sitting at a table of what seems to be a meeting room.

One after another other people filtered through the doors sitting down on the tables.

Lastly the trainer, Houichi Yasumori, entered and stood himself at the front of the room with a pleased face.

'I already don't like that guy.' You lean forward and put your head onto your hand.

"The game is in 2 weeks."

"You're members of the U-20-national-team and you were chosen to win!"

"Also here this time, with his long awaited first nomination..." Houichi says with a extravagant hand gesture.

"Itoshi Sae!" Murmurs seemed to overlap bouncing around the room every single one loud enough for you to hear but one stood out.

"Really? To me he seems like a spoiled little prince, more than anything." The ace striker of the team Sendou Shuto, comments.

"Hey, he can hear you." A guy from beside him whisperes.

"And who are those guys over there?" Another one asks pointing towards you and Shidou.

The blonde who's currently picking his nose gets a disgusted look from you which he doesn't seem to mind until you kick his chair from which him shoving his finger a bit too far up his nose follows.

"Hmph, who knows... probably Itoshis tag along." Sendou responds to the guy behind him with a shrug.

The trainer dismisses the commotion and continues on with his speech.

"As you all know our opponent will be Blue Lock! The honor of the U-20 is at stake, we are not allowed to loose!"

Houichi turns to Sae with a smile,"Sae! A few words of inspiration!"

Sae puts his hands into his pockets and with a deadpan face he says,"Be thankful that your allowed to be playing football with me."

His words were so bold that you almost fell of your chair from shock.

"I don't have one ounce of interest in this team...but such a chance will probably never appear for you again."He continues on, the players getting more and more angry and uncomfortable with his words.

"Don't be a nuisance to me. That's all."

'Crazy confidence...'

"Ha-ha that's some insane confidence..." Some other guy says your thoughts out loud with sweat dripping down his face.

"Get down from your high horse Mr Genius, you might be an international star but in the end your still just second-rate, right?" The red head from earlier exclaims with annoyance.

Then he adds on with confidence,"Im a regular in the japanese first league. So hold back because at the moment im above you."

"Oh my." You put a hand infront of your mouth before you sit up straight. Shidou raises an eyebrow at the redheads words.

Sae doesn't seem impressed as he easily roasts the ace to no end. Sendou seems to have enough soon tho so he speaks up again.

"-ofcourse i can also be the best-!"

Shidou who just a few seconds ago sat beside you jumps up from his seat and over two tables with a speed you didn't know he possessed.

Which didn't stop you from following right behind him simply because you know he was out for trouble.

"No, sorry! Better luck in the next life!" Just as Shidou slams down the red haired males head you slip your hand between the table and his head.

With hope to dampen Sendous head to table collision you placed your hand so that the males forehead hit the palm of your hand.

"Who focuses solely on title and rank doesn't have any style at all! You're the one that should hold back, you idiot!"

As much as you might agree with the first part..."You're such a bastard, Shidou!", you just couldn't hold back the insult.

And luckily you weren't the only one either since most of the striker's teammates angrily shout at Shidou.

"Yeah go ahead come at me but if i win i'll get to be a regular! Hey Mom don't interrupt."

"I told you to quit calling me that!" A vein appears on your neck from anger and the blonde that's still crouched on the table shivers slightly.

"Scary~" The blonde grins at you.

Sendou slowly recovers from the hit as he lifts his head from your hand which makes you crouch down beside him.

"Are you okay?"

Sendous face flushes slightly after seeing your face appear in his blurry vision,"Y-yeah..." But he snaps out of it just as quickly as it appeared.

"Putting Sae aside a nobody like you-", he reaches out to grab Shidou who jumps up,"- does not have the right to insult me!"

'Oh! Alright, im taking that personally.'

Shidou already pulls his leg back for the next hit but a hand catches it.

"Okay, okay, stop. Seems like you really look down on all of us, huh?"

Your eyes widen at the males ability to easily dodge Shidous hits and they widen even further when Shidou get slammed to the ground.

"I like your energy puppy but you have to deliver results on the field."

"You need help...Oliver?" A tall man with long black hair and a beard that's cut weirdly offers the black-green haired male.

"No im good. And you genius-", the male with black hair looks towards Sae.

"Both you and your followers are newbies. You won't win our trust through big words but through games."

'Follower?! Excuse me!' A irk mark appears on your cheek.

"Because we defenders..."

"will keep your back clear."

"..."

'Oh alright that was badass.'
