“Coach says no.”

Your bento dropped to the floor. Nagi stared blankly at you.

“Well, you had a good run,” he added. 

You stood frozen in place, eyes blown wide, lips parted in disbelief. "...h—huh?"

Nagi walked right past you and out from underneath the stairwell.

You blinked once. You blinked twice.

"...WHAT?!"

｡*ﾟ+ opening song ｡*ﾟ+

You and Nagi decided to make that spot underneath the stairs your designated rendezvous point. He was weary when you brought it up last night, but you assured him just having a set place to meet doesn’t mean you plan on taking up his time often. You almost felt guilty because he seemed exhausted by you already, but then you got to the stairs the next morning and saw him knocked out on the floor like it was his own home.

“Uh—Nagi-san?” you murmured, awkwardly leaning towards him. He didn’t respond.

“...uh, hello?” you tried again. Once again, no dice.

Didn’t he have morning practice that just ended? How did he fall asleep this hard so quickly?

“Nagi-san!” you said a bit louder. You nudged him with your foot. Then, you nudged him a little harder. Then you kicked him!

He slowly woke up like you had ruffled his hair instead of bruising his calf.

is it just me?

it’s one in the morning and rin is surrounded by his friends and acquaintances but still, he feels cold. even with the alcohol in his system that he drank to purposely warm him, it’s cold.

it has been this way for nearly a year now. eleven months and a couple weeks, if anyone is counting. a few days more and it would be the anniversary of your breakup.

the nearer it gets to twelve months without you, the colder it gets. right now, even with the perfectly working heater in one of his teammate’s penthouse, rin shivers.

it’s cold.

he never thought it could be this cold.

rin knows why he feels like this. he knows exactly why he wakes up and goes to bed alone. the reason why his life is dull and empty is not a secret to him—he just won’t acknowledge it.

he refuses to admit to himself that the reason why he has been suffering for the past eleven months of his life is because you’re not here.

how could he admit it? how could he ever address that your absence it what causes his pitiful state, when he brought it upon himself.

it was his fault that you’re not here. he wanted this. well, he had thought that he wanted this.

there is no way he could welcome the thought that he misses you when he was the one who drove you away, right? there is no use.

it’s too late now. all he could do is go out with his teammates on nights like this and pretend as if he wasn’t freezing from the inside out.

“damn, this is so boring,” seishiro sits down beside him on the sofa and rin tenses at the presence of the white-haired boy.

he does not know what to do because among everyone else in this crowded room, you are most connected to nagi seishiro. your best friend. and he has long been your best friend before you and rin even got together.

how is rin supposed to act around the person who is still in your life while he himself isn’t? this man seated next to him knows where you are right now and what you have been doing, while rin has absolutely no idea how you are.

“didn’t think i’d see you here, itoshi,” nagi speaks again. rin hums in acknowledgment, “thought it wouldn’t be so bad to come.”

there is this unspoken understanding between them, that both of them are thinking about you. after all, aside from soccer, all they have in common is their connection to you.

nagi debates whether he should tell you that he saw rin tonight or keep it to himself so as to not instigate negative feelings from you.

rin wonders if he should start asking about you. he decides against it and pretended to busy himself with his cellphone to avoid further conversation with your best friend.

he convinces himself that he does not care. he acts like he doesn’t want to know how you are. he tries to make himself believe that as long as he can fake it, it will somehow be true.

jokes on him, really.

meguru approaches nagi next to him and rin is planning to ignore him like he usually does, but the words that comes out of meguru’s mouth made that utterly impossible.

“nagi! i saw y/n by the bookstore earlier this afternoon, didn’t you ask her to come? i invited her but she said you didn’t mention anythin’ about a party!”

the mere mention of your name makes rin’s heart stop. it has been a very long time since he heard someone mention your name casually around him. now that your name has been dropped, everything comes crashing down on him, and he cannot breathe.

“oh, damn, i’m sorry—“ bachira seems to notice his mistake upon not seeing rin next to nagi. they know not to carelessly throw your name around because at first, it affected his performance. now, it is apparent that you affect him in and out of the game.

“excuse me.”

rin is cold. it’s like ice is running through his veins as he stands up and rushes to leave the suffocating penthouse.

rin runs out to the street and for the first time since he lost you, he names the sinking feeling in his stomach that won’t go away.

for the first time since you walked out the door of your shared apartment, rin finally admits it.

he misses you.

he is longing for you like how the moon misses the sun but never meets it enough. it burns and it is freezing all at the same time because when you were here, he felt nothing but the assurance of your love.

he runs, and runs, and runs. it’s dark and it’s cold, but he runs. he runs in hopes that he could change the past. he runs with the burning desire to correct his faults and take back all the hurt he inflicted on you.

maybe then, you’d be here.

maybe then, it wouldn’t be so cold.

notes: this one's shorter than the one before but still, go wild my loves <3

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐍𝐈𝐂𝐄 𝐆𝐔𝐘 who values you very much. is the type to be very secure in the relationship; doesn't like any unnecessary drama and is definitely ready to move onto the next stage. wouldn't really care about the other person but will not tolerate having his boundaries crossed. especially when it's clear that he's yours and yours only.

his eyes are on his phone, feet tapping against the tiles of the cafe. it's a hole in the wall that he's used to frequenting with you, so much that the staff know your orders by heart. the line is short, seats mostly empty, as the rush hour has passed. the rain is pouring against the window beside him, and he taps his finger on the table to their rhythm.

tilting his head, his eyes find you in the middle of the line. you're focused on the menu, your bottom lip between your teeth as you scan the list of food and beverages. it makes him smile, chuckling under his breath because he knows you'll end up getting what you usually do. he gets onto his feet, wallet in hand, when you're finally set to order.

"hi. good morning, how are you?" your sweet voice tickles his ear as he approaches, his heart warm and sated as you go through your usual routine.

"hey." he presses a kiss to your head, wrapping a hand around your waist. his lips trail down, stopping at your cheek, a smile pressed against the skin as he hears you giggle. "what's taking so long?"

the cashier smiles, amused at the sight. "mornin' i'm great. how about you two lovebirds?"

"we're good," he answers for you both, an easy-going expression on his face. he looks down, scrunching his nose at you while you giggle at his answer. "just waiting for this angel to finish ordering."

GUESS WHO'S A COUPLE! w isagi yoichi, mikage reo, & itoshi sae (sep)

ISAGI YOICHI

I’m so sorry, but this man will automatically sell you guys out so fast the moment you two are put together. Like, he already looks at you like you’ve pulled the stars from the sky and laid them at his feet, so imagine his expression when the contestant asks you to come forward beside him.

“From the get-go, these two kind of have this vibe going on,” the contestant would say, gesturing between you and Isagi. “I’m gonna ask if you two can hold hands real quick, just to confirm my suspicions.”

And this is what screws you both over because, out of habit, Isagi is already intertwining his fingers with yours. He forgot that the whole point of the game/video is to throw the contestant off of thinking you guys were a couple.

Without missing a beat the contestant nods once, then twice before clearing their throat to state the obvious. “Okay. Yeah, they’re dating.”

｡*ﾟ+ opening song ｡*ﾟ+

For the past five years, your life has been stagnant.

Everything was much simpler when you were a kid. When you were sad, you cried. When you were happy, you smiled. When you liked someone, you said it.

You’re not sure when things got muddled, but you realized it the moment you fell for Reo Mikage.

It was the first year of lower secondary schooling and you only spent a couple months interacting with him before he quit band, but suddenly everything was just—complicated. Maybe it was a conglomerate of things going on in your life that made it impossible to be yourself around him. The reasons were hard to pinpoint. But, anxiety was the most blatant out of all of them.

You exchanged greetings, but never held a conversation with Mikage since he quit the club, and didn’t bother trying. You overthink when it comes to talking to your crush, and eventually you started overthinking when it came to talking to others, too, and your social life at school just became nonexistent. You didn’t know how to really share your feelings like you could when you were kid.

…well, that all ends today!

It’s been five years, and you're now in the second trimester of your second year in high school. Summer vacation has ended, and you’re starting out with a clean slate!

You weren’t going to be lazy or cowardly. You were sick of drifting along and cowering at everything. Mikage was changing, too, and he finally found something he became invested in—you were happy for him, but you weren’t going to be left behind. You wanted things to be different in your final years of school.

Starting this trimester, for the rest of your high school years, you’ll be driven and assertive! Nothing can get in your way!

“Are you going to go in?”

You flinched at the familiar voice and whipped your head around. Nagi stared back down at you with a tired look, holding his phone in one hand.

“S-sorry!” you quickly stammered, scuffling out of his way.

…okay, you were starting this semester with a clean slate, sure, but your change would begin when you entered the classroom. It’s okay for you to be nervous before you get inside.

Nagi walked past you without sparing another glance. You stared at him as he entered.

Seishiro Nagi.

Mikage's best friend.

Your ticket to your crush.

Nagi was notorious in the classroom for his laziness. He always slept in class, he was curt and lacked manners with everyone he spoke with, and he was one of the most unapproachable people here. He just didn’t hold conversations. Yet, at the same time, his grades on exams were the highest, he got spoiled by the teachers, and had plenty of people pining after him because of his height and pretty face. He gained even more popularity towards the end of last semester, after making the local news following the first football game of the year.

More important than any of that, though, Mikage stuck to him like glue.

Yes, it wasn’t the other way around, as Mikage’s “friends” usually were. Ever since they joined the football team, Nagi has been the only thing Mikage really paid attention to, besides football.

Honestly, aside from his friendship with Mikage, you weren’t interested in Nagi. But, as you awkwardly hovered near the classroom entrance while he made his way inside with no problem, your eyes couldn’t help but linger on him.

Nagi didn’t get along with anyone in class, but he never seemed nervous when he interacted with others. He just didn’t care how other people thought of him. You both envied and admired that quality.

If Nagi can go through his time in class bullshitting and pissing of the teachers without thinking twice, why couldn’t you, when you haven’t done anything at all? You can’t forget your vow for the year this early.

You sucked in a deep breath and walked inside.

The classroom was bustling. You actually came to school early today, so your things were already at your desk. But, you stepped outside to wait for everyone else to arrive. Now that the classroom wasn't empty and you had a goal in mind for the day, it was somehow nerve-wracking.

When you made it to you desk in one peace, you felt your nerves start to wash away.

Alright, you did it. No sweat. Now, you have to keep focused.

Your eyes drifted back to Nagi.

The only two things Mikage has shown interest in were your only options to get close with him, and one of them is your classmate, who sits to the right of the seat in front of you. He’s been this close for months, but the two of you never exchanged a single word.

That all changes today.

You watched as Nagi placed something in his desk, before freezing. He must feel it.

You bit your lower lip and held your breath when he pulled out your letter.

It wasn’t anything crazy—you didn’t want it to look like a confession, or to catch people’s attention. It had to just look like a simple note, because that’s all it was.

You watched as he read it, and then turned to look at you directly. Normally, you would have looked away immediately, but this was a different you. This is the assertive, direct you.

You locked eyes for long moment, before he turned and faced forward. You released the breath you had been holding.

He folded the paper and put it back in his desk, and you caught a glimpse of your own writing on the paper when he did:

Phase 1: Start!

You anxiously paced back and forth later that day, hands fiddling around with anything to keep busy.

It’s only been a few minutes since you excused yourself to go to the bathroom, but you really didn’t want the time to go on any longer. What if your teacher probed you for questions because you took a while? What if someone passed by and caught a glimpse of you, and got you in trouble? What if Nagi didn’t even come?!

You couldn’t talk to him between classes. Everyone around you would hear. You couldn’t talk to him during lunch, or before or after classes. He’d be with Mikage. This was your only option. If he didn’t bother, you were screwed!

“Make it quick. I’m tired.”

“ACK!”

You covered your mouth at the weird sound you let out and turned to see Nagi leaning on the wall, staring at you with boredom. You looked away again.

Maybe you should have chosen a different spot. Behind the stairs was good for hiding, but it was a narrow space, and he towered over you. It felt—uncomfortable.

…not that you would let that stop you, of course.

You cleared your throat and began taking out your phone, straightening your posture as though it’d make up for the height difference.

“Nagi-san, you play Champions of Orisha, right?” you started. “How are you doing on the current event?”

His lips twitched, “You made me come all the way here just to talk about games…?”

The stairs were right around the corner from his classroom, so it’s not like he went far—but for someone as lazy as him, it was probably a big deal. Why was he even on a sports team?

“Yes, but it’s more than that. I have a proposition for you!” you said. “Trust me, it’ll be worth your while.”

“Another deal? Such a hassle…”

Another?

Ah, whatever. You can’t ask about that now. One thing you’ve observed about Nagi last trimester is his time limit. If you took too long to get to the point, you’d lose his attention.

“You don’t play in a party, do you? You don’t seem like the type, even though it's an MMO. So, you really rely on these events and the gacha pulls to level up. That way you can take on the bosses on your own,” you said. He nodded.

“Yeah, I do. So, if you’re going to ask me to be in your party, you already know what my answer is.”

“No, no! Actually, I used to be obsessed with the game in junior high, when it was first released. So, I have a lot of rare items that aren’t available, since a lot has updated—y’know, they sometimes revisit gacha events these days, but they never bring back the old ones. That makes the stuff from back then really rare.”

As you spoke, you held out your phone screen, showing him your inventory.

Technically, you weren't sharing the whole truth. You did play the game a lot back in the day, but you didn’t really participate in the gacha events or get amazing equipment. You weren’t that dedicated. What actually happened was that you hustled over summer breaking all day and night, hunting for older players that would have actually had this stuff, making trades with them, and getting it all fully upgraded. You may or may not have spent some of your savings for this, too...

You’ll be taking that to your grade, obviously. Doing all of this for a crush was fucking embarrassing...

Still, it was all worth it when you saw Nagi's reaction. His eyes widened and his lips parted in shock as he looked over your items. This was the most emotion you’ve ever seen on him!

“Woah. You’re offering this to me? What do you want in return?”

You grinned.

Bingo.

“The football team you’re on doesn’t have a manager yet, does it?”

Nagi rubbed at the back of his neck, “No, but we’re not taking applicants.”

Yes, you knew they weren’t taking applicants—or rather, Mikage wasn’t taking any. Too many of them were fans that were just joining with ill intentions, so he didn’t want to deal with them. He was doing all of the work of the manager himself on top of training. Anyone who paid enough attention could gather this much.

“Exactly. I know Mikage-san will let me be manager if you ask him. If you can get my application through, all of this will be yours. And, of course, you gotta keep the deal between us…” you said, slowly swaying your phone like it was a piece of steak to entice him. You had a hopeful smile, even as Nagi gave you an incredulous look.

“Look, I know what you’re thinking! And, don’t worry. I do my duties well! We’ve been in the same class all year, haven’t we? You know that I’m responsib-”

“I don’t pay attention to you. I don’t even know your name.” Nagi cut you off quickly.

Okay, ouch…

“Uh—well, then I'm telling you now! I'm super responsible-"

Whether or not that was true didn't matter, of course.

"-and when I commit to something, I give it my all. I won’t be a nuisance or get in the way, and I'll do my best to support you. I just—really want to be manager of the football team!”

“Really?”

“Really!”

"This is because you want to help the football team?"

"Yes!"

"Not at all because of your crush on Reo?"

“Of course no- eh?!”

You froze, looking at him with wide eyes. Nagi stared at you, too.

When did he—how did he—

He didn’t even know your name, but he knew about your crush?!

Was that how obvious it was?!

Physically, you stood there stiffly. Internally, you were screaming, pulling at your hair, falling to your knees, and your skin was peeling.

Mikage’s best friend knew. Have they talked about it before? Does Mikage know? Who else?! The rest of their friends?! The football team?! The entire class?! Have they been gossiping about you behind your back this whole time? You don't have any friends, so you'd be an easy target, and-

“Reo doesn’t pay attention to all the people who have a crush on him. He doesn’t care. I don’t know if he knows, but I don’t think it matters either way,” Nagi said, like he was reading your mind.

You continued to gape like a damn fish.

“...if that’s all, then, I guess we’re done here. That’s my answer to your offer,” he finished. Nagi turned and started to walk away.

No—no, it’s only the first day! You only just started this plan, it can’t already be over…

You can’t falter. This is a setback, sure, but—but, maybe, it’s just an opportunity in disguise!

“Wait!”

You rushed forward and grabbed his arm, pulling him back. He looked at you with slight annoyance.

“What now?”

“N-Nagi-san, I’m not done.”

“I’m not going to help you be manager. You’ll just get in the way.”

“I won’t. You need me.”

He didn’t really, but you needed to make him believe that.

“You—you care about football, don’t you? Aside from games, that’s the only thing you seem to care about. If I’m manager, I can-”

“You’re wrong.”

Nagi shook your arm off him, rolling his eyes. You didn’t back away, but you did let go.

“I don’t really care about football. I'm just in it 'cause Reo’s paying me.”

….

“...wh-…”

Your jaw completely dropped.

“Whaaaaat?!”

“I said, Reo’s paying me." Nagi made a face at your volume. You quickly covered your mouth and peaked your head out to make sure you didn't catch any attention, but he continued normally.

"And he takes care of things for me so it’s not a hassle, to keep me around.”

You looked back at Nagi with utter disbelief when you confirmed the coast was clear.

This—this is the craziest thing you’ve ever heard.

“...you—you, don't care about football at all, then?”

“Nope.”

“Like, at all?”

“That’s what I said, isn’t it?”

“Then, what does it matter to you if I’m manager or not?! Take the offer! Who cares if it sucks for the team if you get paid either way?!”

“Well, that’s…” Nagi paused for a second. That seemed to have him stumped.

“Huh. Good question. Why do I care?”

You rose your hands to your head and groaned softly. If even he didn’t understand what he wanted, how were you supposed to convince him?

After a bit of thought, Nagi shrugged, “Well, Reo will make me practice harder if you get in the way of your games or practice and make performance go down. And, Reo and I are going to be World Cup Champions, so.”

“World Cu-”

You quickly stopped yourself from replying. You almost questioned him on how that made sense with his flimsy motivations, but that wouldn't end well for you. You're not here to pick a fight.

“Okay, so, you don’t care about the team. But, if you want to live up to your promise with Mikage-san, doesn’t that mean it’s him you care about?” you tried. To you, it just sounded like a couple best friends playing a sport together.

“...huh. I guess I do care about Reo, don’t I? You’re right, there.”

“Perfect! We have that in common!” you said, your energy quickly bouncing back.

“You already know I care about Mikage-san. I would never do anything to get in his way. I simply want to support him as manager. Don’t you think it’ll be easier on him if he has less duties to take care of? As manager, I can take off half of the load. It’ll make things run smoother for you two. He’ll have more time to dedicate to football instead of managing the team. I’ll even—I’ll even help you with your homework instead of him!”

“How do you know he helps me with that? Are you a stalker-”

“Everyone in class knows! It’s not like you two are subtle! There’s a rumor you two are secretly fucking, anyway!” you said, a little too defensively.

“Hm…”

“Anyway! My point is that I can take off a lot from Mikage-san’s load. Just thinking about his schedule stresses me out. If you care about him, I’m sure you would want him to have a load off too, right? And, I also want to see him win the World Cup. I—I mean, I’ve known him since Junior High. He always said he was looking for something, which is why he quit our club, and—and it looks like he finally found what he was looking for. I’ve never seen him so driven and passionate before, so I’m genuinely rooting for him, really. I just—I don’t want to sit on the sidelines anymore in my own life and feelings. I want to be active. I know I’m technically joining for impure intentions, but I mean it when I say I want to support the team with everything I've got. I swear on my mom!"

You were almost out of breath by the end of your monologue from how desperate you were. You pressed your phone forward.

“All of this will be yours, I’ll do your work, and I won’t let anyone find out. I’ll be the best manager ever. No matter how you look at it, you and Mikage-san will benefit! All I’m asking is that you let me help you both reach your goal!"

Nagi was silent. He stared at you for a long time.

After what felt like literal years of suspense, he slowly let out a sigh. Your chest leapt when his hand reached forward and grabbed your phone.

“I’ll bring it up to Reo. If he says no, there’s nothing I can-”

“YES!!” you rushed forward, but Nagi took a humongous step back and made a face.

“I—I was just going to give you a high-five!”

“Really?”

“Really! But, I got it, no high-fives! Thank you thank you thank you thank you, thank you!!”

“If you keep being extra, I’ll take it back.”

You sucked in a sharp breath and clamped your mouth shut. You nodded fervently, now silent as Nagi typed in his username in the game and sent the friend request.

“Send it all to me today. I’ll take your application tomorrow.”

“Thank you so much!—Ah, and um. This will stay between us, right?”

“Yeah. Reo would make a big deal out of it if he found out. You’re a borderline stalker, so…”

“I’m not a-”

“Yeah, yeah.”

Nagi handed the phone back to you. You took it like it was the most sacred thing on this Earth.

“Nagi-san—no, King Nagi-”

“Doing too much.”

“Right, sorry. Nagi-san, I promise not to let you down!”

“Uh-huh,” he said, but he didn’t seem like he cared about your vow. He turned and started to the classroom, and you lagged behind. If you returned at the same time, it’d look fishy, and you also had to celebrate your success!

With silent squeals, you jumped up and down underneath the stairs, pumping your fists in the air.

Why did you ever doubt Nagi?! He’s an amazing guy. A pure angel. The personification of good itself. He deserves all the good in the world. He really will win the world cup, single-handedly, and you’ll be his number one fan! You are his loyal fan, now!

Phase One is officially complete. The new you was moving mountains, and the school day hasn’t even finished yet.

If you had any doubts, they were officially washed away. You were going to give everything your all and come out on top. You’ll make the most out of your high school years, make friends, get along with your classmates, and most importantly—you will pursue your unrequited love.

Nothing can get in your way!

29. does your region/city have a beef with another place in your country?

30. do you have people of different nationalities in your family?

im not patriotic but this seems fun and I get to talk bc honestly I just wanna talk.

I don't actually have a favourite place considering I don't go out that much but if I have to say then it's probably Central I-city Mall. I went there like thrice? But it's a really big mall and has bookstores. That's the only thing I look forward to tbh so I can buy mangas and stuff.

I spend my holidays at home. I don't like going outside alone bc it makes me nervous.

We do!

It's got to be Nasi Ayam or Nasi Lemak. It's like a classic dish but its good! Though i usually like non-local food.

Arjuna Beta. This is like the only malay song that I listen to cuz its about a mom singing this to her sleeping baby. It usually makes me cry bc the mom sings about how she's going to protect the child and how she hopes her child only have sweet dreams.

I took this from google so dont quote me.

Honestly, none. Idc about the other songs nor do i listen to them. Mostly western stuff cuz the music here is trash.

None. Maybe bulan (moon), bintang (star/s) and cahaya (light) i just made it up on the spot.

uhhh honestly idk. I didnt really gaf about it.

Mainly would like to visit singapore cuz they have universal to play all the fun stuff even though im not a child anymore.

Babi. I say this all the time. It means pig and is a commonly used swear word here.

GN!Reader || Fluff

I realize I never wrote fluff in this blog before.

"What are you doing here so late?" Surprising you at almost midnight was none other than your boyfriend Rin. He didn't respond, opting to just close your door and dragging you back to your bed.

"Rin? Did something happened?" Rin never comes over without informing you first so the sudden visit got you a little worried. He sat down, looked at you and proceeded to hold both your hands. Doing circular motions with his thumbs.

"Baby, what's wron-"

"I miss you."

It caught you off guard. Your usually stoic boyfriend took one of your hand and places it on his cheek.

"Do you not like it if I came over whenever I want to see you?"

He looked up at you with droopy eyes, his tousled hair made him look even more cuter. "Of course I like it. It just suprises me."

"Do you wanna sleep? You seem like you're about to fall off this bed" You giggled, finding your sleepy boyfriend's expression quite adorable.

Rin nodded in response, he pulled you into bed. Making himself getting into a more comfortable position with his head on your chest and his arms wrapping your waist.

Naturally, your fingers finds its way to his hair. Fiddling with it while humming your favorite song.

"You smell so nice.." Rin murmurs, trying to nuzzle into you even more.

You hummed, "Your hair is so soft Rin.. It's so different compared to when we first met."

"Its cause you like to pet my hair so I took better care of it"

You giggled, "You're always so cute Rinnie" only earning a grunt back from said man.

"Goodnight Rin, sweet dreams. I love you so much." You placed a chaste kiss on his forehead.

"I love you more.."
