major LOTM spoilers

honestly there's something to be said about the level of devotion that Leonard has for Klein.

i know in the grand scheme of things it wasn't all that long between the end of the Tingen arc and the point in time where he connected the dots; but GOD he feels so much about Klein Moretti and it makes me so sad.

JUST!!! he grieved for Klein and he was so caught up on his death that he started seeing his ghost no matter where he was, right alongside captain dunn's.

the second he got hope that he could be alive Leonard absolutely latched onto it. fought against all odds to see him again. it's just SO MUCH. he JOINED the tarot club just for the chance to see Klein regularly, even though he believes in the goddess. It upsets me beyond anything that Leonard gets shelved as a fairly minor character. someone who fades into the background among the other members of the Tarot Club.

just,, he wanted Klein by his side, he wanted to partner with him again. he was so sure he would be welcomed back.

and then, at the end of the novel, he starts studying poetry seriously so that he can produce works that will spread through the world, all for the hope of bringing Klein back just a little bit sooner.

Summer Puppy (Rival) Love by Qwifmuncher on Ao3 (my account)

Rin and Isagi have been dating for a few months now, unbeknownst to everyone. Right after the NEL and the PXG vs BM match, fate had allowed them to meet outside of Blue Lock during their summer break, and through a short myriad of what seemed to be like unconscious dates, they realized their feelings for one another and decided they wanted to be more than partners in soccer or the nemeses of their lives.

Waking up back in the Blue Lock facility, it was a very normal morning for Isagi in the BM dormitory; Chigiri, Bachira, Nagi, and Reo, with the permissions and privileges they got from their rankings, decided to crash in last night to have a sleepover with Isagi since it’s been quite a long time since they had slow times with each other besides training.

In the room laid 4 other futons just for those visitors, and in the very corner was Isagi’s bed with a frame.

Isagi, who was sleeping, suddenly woke up by the murmuring in front of him.

“Hurry, hurry! Before he wakes up let’s take a pic in his phone. 😜” Bachira kept his hyper voice down.

“Be quiet! And patient. I’m trying to open this, I don’t know how to operate androids, okay.”

“You suck. Give me the phone.” Nagi tried reaching for it.

The four swarmed together to pose and whilst Chigiri was trying to open it while also swatting Nagi away from him, the phone accidentally got unlocked and the first thing that everyone’s eyes landed on was its wallpaper.

A bust up of a shirtless man with messy dark green bed hair and sleepy turquoise eyes was staring into the camera with a seemingly pouty face. His cheeks were puffed as he was toothbrushing, and you could clearly see he stopped in the middle of it and pushed the brush to one side of his cheek to take the picture.

“Is that who I think it is?” Reo chimed in.

“...Woah.” Chigiri and Bachira said in unison.

“Honestly, I knew it.” Nagi seemed unperterbed.

Then, a few notifications popped up.

-

5:30 a.m, today

Tongueful Owl (Rin): Good morning, Isagi.

Tongueful Owl (Rin): Are you free today?

Tongueful Owl (Rin): You said you wanted to beat me at yoga, right? Come meet me in my training room as usual.

Tongueful Owl (Rin): And don’t forget my shirt.

-

“Shirt?” Nagi’s curiosity was perked.

Chigiri’s muscle memory moved by itself and pressed the notif and accidentally saw the history of their chat.

-

6:34 p.m, yesterday

Tongueful Owl (Rin): Good evening, Isagi. I need my shirt back.

12:06 a.m, yesterday

Lukewarm NPC no.1 (Isagi): So soon? Joke lolol

Lukewarm NPC no.1 (Isagi): I forgot to wash it, I’ll give it tomorrow morning, besides it’s late.

Tongueful Owl (Rin): Sent a pic (In the picture revealed Rin lying down flat and he obviously seemingly just woke up, but everything about him was perfect; the warm tone light of his lamp shone gems in the moisture of his eyes, and his aloof expression was unlike his usual frowning always-on-guard face made everything so perfectly cozy, unlike the Rin everyone else but Isagi knows)

Tongueful Owl (Rin): You woke me up. My eyelash poked my eye, it’s all your fault. */Isagi reacted with 🥺

Tongueful Owl (Rin): Why’d you respond so late anyway?

Lukewarm NPC no.1 (Isagi): Sent a pic (It was a picture of Reo, Nagi, Chigiri, Bachira sleeping on the futons of Isagi’s dorm’s floor)

Lukewarm NPC no.1 (Isagi): Had some visitors barging in today 😅 sorryy,

Tongueful Owl (Rin): It’s fine. Go to sleep. I will silent my phone now.

Lukewarm NPC no.1 (Isagi): Alright, goodnight 💖

Tongueful Owl (Rin): No heart emojis before marriage, please. */Isagi reacted with 💖

Tongueful Owl (Rin): Ugh. 😒😠

Lukewarm NPC no.1 (Isagi): 😘 I love you.

Tongueful Owl (Rin): I love you too, now go to sleep. I will too for real. /*Isagi reacted with 💖

As the four continued staring, the phone was suddenly swept away by a dolphin diving Isagi.

“Jeez, this is not how you wake someone up! Care to know the word privacy?” Isagi yelled, his face already slightly red.

“Sorry- we really didn’t mean to open it. Besides, why don’t you have a phone password?” Chigiri, still astonished by what they witnessed, spoke up.

“Hey, hey! Isagi, when’d you guys start dating 🤔🤩?”

“...?!” Reo and Nagi stared at Bachira’s bluntness.

“No one’s dating no one! Stop snooping around… I need to go to the bathroom.” Isagi stuffed the phone in his pocket before going, his face slowly going beet red the further he’s away from them.

“...”

“...”

“Who knew Rin could talk with more than 3 words per sentence if it’s not about insulting or killing someone?” Nagi said, his eyes slightly widened in surprise, still staring at Isagi's phone.

"I never knew they'd be into each other like that. They could've been friends for sure I saw that, but further...?" Reo added.

"Well I did see them during summer break when I was getting groceries,"

"You do your groceries??" Chigiri looked genuinely shocked.

"Shut. Anyway, I saw them around the produce area and Rin seemed pretty close with a middle-aged woman he called Mrs. Isagi. I thought nothing of it until Rin got closer to the aisle opposite of where I was and asked an employee where they sold flowers and if they had any light blue Ajisai (hydrangeas) in a bouquet. As far as I know, before when we were consecutively interviewed by reporters, I think Isagi said he loved flowers and his favorite color was light blue." Nagi narrated while continuing the game match on his phone.

"Oh, yeah! I remember that. That's also the reason why sometimes fans would give blue flowers to Isagi, 🤗. When we were out for a stroll after U-20 we were shocked when a group of girls asked us for our numbers and even gave Isagi a cute lil' baby flower hehe." Bachira jumped on Isagi's bed since he was away.

"So Rin's a blooming lover now... ? That edge lord?"

"And dating his rival above all, love is strange." Reo seemed befuddled.

"But then again, you are still dating the guy that dumped you even though you did everything to satisfy him and I even told you multiple times to just get over him like he did to you but you still came back to him and we never talk about it no?" Chigiri swiftly commented.

"I'm still in this room." Nagi nudged.

"Okay, that's enough, you gossip snake."

Reo and Chigiri continued to argue.

"So... how do we conclude this? Are Isagi and Rin really an item? How sappy do you guys think they are out of 10? 😯." Bachira broke the conflict.

“Enough of this topic and/or of dating! I mean, well, Isagi is still our friend regardless, so let’s just pretend nothing happened, you know? It was all an accident anyway.” Chigiri said with a bit of guilt.

“Yea! Totally accident. I can live with that.” . . .

Sharing some of my Rin headcanons hehe

Some are self-inserts/based on my experiences so forgive me if they seem OOC, btw pt 1/?

⁃ Rin boxes as a hobby. It is how he vents out his excessive anger and sadness. His right hook is especially lethal hence why he only uses the left when sparring (also the reason why I’d like to think even when Rin and Shidou fight, Rin has never tried to hit him back and has only tried to stop or threaten him)

⁃ He loves mysterious things (black cats, owls, dream catchers, haunted dolls, taxidermy, etc.)

⁃ His fetish is bones, when they’re visible under skin; his favorite being the collarbone. Says he wants to bite into it.

⁃ Rin has extremely high potential and talent for most things but chooses to exert all his time and effort into soccer (he knows a bit of guitar and drums)

⁃ He burnt all the toys and gifts he received from Sae when he was a kid after the U-20 match

⁃ He has tried committing 💀 before by jumping off his favorite cliff’s ocean view but didn’t have to courage to actually do it.

⁃ He cries when happy, and feels numb or not alive when sad. (Hence why he said ‘he doesn’t cry’)

⁃ He hates his family, and even more so himself

⁃ Rin tried therapy before but the therapist was dismissive of him hence why he lost his final hope of trying to communicate with others

⁃ Sae does not hate Rin; he just doesn’t notice him. But Rin mistakes his nonchalance as malice, and as this cycle continues of Sae not acknowledging him, the more Rin kills their relationship and himself from within with his own thoughts and overthinking. (Pretty sure this is canon)

⁃ Rin has tried smoking when he was first 11 and didn’t like it yet he still smokes from time to time to release stress. If you asked him why: ‘because he wants to feel something’. ⁃ No one has ever seen Rin as a person, his own person except for Isagi. Not even Rin himself. Rin has always been ‘some rival’, ‘no.1’, ‘Itoshi Sae’s brother’ to everybody but never ‘Itoshi Rin’ as it is. (Again I think canon)

⁃ Sometimes Rin draws a mole under his left eye when going out for no reason at all.

⁃ Rin unexpectedly slightly cares for his appearance (mostly because he does not want to be related to or look like Sae all the time)
