Tumblr media
❋ Pause, stop. Rewind: You and Sae dated back in Spain when you were managing his team at Re Al, but things fell apart when your parents (and you, by extension), returned to Japan to help fund the Blue Lock program.
❋ Now fast-forward: You’re now the unofficial manager of Blue Lock, which means dealing with a bunch of noisy, smelly teenage boys and their chaotic brand of nonsense.
❋ It’s a week before the Blue Lock Eleven dukes it out with the U-20 team, and you’re alone in the empty monitor room (or so you think), pulling up profiles of the players and compiling detailed reports to give your boys an edge.
❋ You’ve been notified that Sae Itoshi’s the star player in this match, and you’re determined not to react when you see your exes’ name on the list. But that train of thought just about goes out the window when you pull up his updated stats and media photos.
❋ Shirtless training shots, candid pictures of him mid-game, and oh no, a magazine spread for Sports Illustrated?! His muscles, his stance, his glare — it all hits you at once, and you let out a moan.
❋ A real, good to honest MOAN.
“Wait. Hold on. How the hell did he get hotter?!” “Oh God, oh God . . .” “This is so UNFAIR!” “Did he change his skincare routine?! He’s practically glowing in that picture . . .”  “His arms — Ugh, he could probably bench press me now. Not that I’d want him to . . . Okay, fine, I want him to." “His butt. His butt! Did he always have — no, no, it wasn’t this nice before. It’s gotta be new. What, did he get a new workout routine? A new trainer? Is he squatting? HE’S GOTTA BE SQUATTING, I’M CALLING IT NOW." “Oh my God, his thighs. His THIGHS! Those could crush a watermelon — and, like, my skull too, apparently. What the hell, Sae?!”
❋ Finally, after a particularly loud exclamation of, “Did he just know we’d see these pictures? Did he get hotter on purpose?! Curse you, Itoshi Sae!”, you hear the unmistakable sound of someone clearing their throat behind you.
❋ And Ego’s voice, dryer than the Sahara, cuts through the sudden silence. “Manager-chan . . . I’m still in the room. And I’m going to vomit.”
❋ Cue you almost falling out of your chair, because you had no idea that he was still in the room all this time, listening to your crazed ranting.
❋ “YOU LEFT! I thought you left!”
❋ “I wish I had.”
❋ You think that this is punishment enough, but apparently, Ego doesn’t share your sentiments. His glasses flash ominously as he continues, and all the while, you want the ground to swallow you whole.
“In the future, kindly keep your . . . Comments about Itoshi Sae to yourself. Unless you’d like me to forward your thoughts to him personally." “You wouldn’t dare.” “Try me.”

Reminisce
[reader x rin itoshi]
You should know better that he can't help but miss you when you tease him like this.
He felt like he was slipping into a Flow state or something, his mind emptying, leaving his body to move by itself without him thinking. He’d never wanted you so badly before. He’d never felt so equally desperate and frustrated at the same time; this was a different desire than just wanting to win. Winning you wasn’t enough. It was like he had to devour you, or make you a part of him somehow; he had to have you, all to himself, forever.

Waking up first thing in the morning was hard enough, but when Itoshi Sae opened his eyes to see his girlfriend had once again drooled in her sleep, he felt like closing his eyes and turning to the other side.
He rubbed his eyes, grabbed a napkin from his bedside table, and gently wiped your mouth, closing it with his fingers. "You're so disgusting," he muttered softly. Knowing you couldn’t hear him, but you will probably open your mouth again. He rolled his eyes; he hadn’t signed up to take care of a drooling child. First, it was his little brother, and now, his girlfriend.
But he couldn’t entirely blame you—you looked pretty cute, peaceful, and comfortable while you slept, and he already had plenty of pictures for blackmail material. Getting out of bed and starting his morning routine, he meditated, and by the time he returned, you were awake, scrolling through your phone.
"Good morning, baby," you said quietly as he walked over to change his clothes.
"It would’ve been a good morning if you didn’t drool so much," he replied, a little annoyed as he slipped on his t-shirt and fixed his hair. You laughed, brushing it off. "You only drool when you're really comfortable, you know? It just means I’m getting the best sleep of my life," you said, sitting up and stretching.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever you say," he murmured, spraying some perfume and cologne that you are definitely going to use later. You hopped up and walked over to him, aiming to kiss him, but he dodged, backing away just before you could reach him.
"Sae~" you pouted, reaching out, trying to corner him. He sidestepped, grabbing a towel as he headed toward the bathroom.
“Not happening. I’m not letting you drool on me too,” he teased, dodging you again.
"Come on, you are no fun!" you whined, chasing him around the apartment as he tried to stay away from you. If you go left, he goes right. The chase continued until you managed to wrap your arms around him in a quick hug, planting a victorious and big kiss on his cheek. Your boyfriend sighed, but a smile appeared on his face, "So annoying," though he couldn’t hide the love his eyes held as he looked down at you.

what about a rin itoshi fic with a werewolf reader? overstimulation, a breeding kink, rut and knotting or wtv, that sort of stuff?

pairing. rin itoshi x male reader
warnings. werewolf!reader, top!amab!reader, human!rin, rut, anal sex, breeding kink, knotting
Tumblr media Tumblr media
You were on top of him as soon as he walked through the door. A growl caught in your throat, cornering him like prey, ready to pounce before you recognized his scent, nose buried in his neck as soon as you did. The movements filled with feral intelligence made his hair stand on end in caution.
You wouldn't hurt him in your normal state, Rin knew. But you weren't in your normal state. It was the beginning of your rut and maybe he should have stayed away like you told him to, it wouldn't be Rin though if he listened.
You continued to smell him, sniffing his skin, deeply inhaling his scent that slowly mixed with yours. Your burning weight crushed him, his knees on the floor, his clothes torn by your eagerness and hunger to reach bare skin.
"Wait, wait, big bad wolf- hey, watch out for those claws-" Rin's reprimands are ignored as he asks you to slow down. But he couldn't blame you, you seemed far from any rationality, slamming against his ass like an animal, dripping all over him, whimpering when the friction wasn't what you was looking for.
Rin's stomach twisted, in a good way. You were so pathetic that you made him clench around nothing.
Amused, Rin reaches behind him to take your member in his hand and guide you correctly to his previously prepared hole — not that he would admit that he had fingered himself while imagining you on top of him, with no control over your instincts other than to fuck and breed.
"There we go, good boy, just like that- oh." The air rushes from his lungs as the fat head of your cock presses against him.
Sharp canines bite into his shoulder and your hips jerk forward as they meet the heat, sinking inside in one thrust. There is no foreplay, there is none of the usual care and affection that Rin secretly enjoyed. It's just your cock stretching him beyond the limit and without warning. Burning all the way inside.
He screams and falls forward with the force of your movement. Your cock felt even bigger than usual, pushing so much inside him, filling him so much that Rin was waiting for the pain after the heat, because there was no way you weren't ripping him in half right now. But the pain never comes. Discomfort, yes. He feels it in his stomach, in his lungs, but there is no pain.
"Fuuuck," Rin gasps, hands falling limply to his sides, trying to hold on for dear life as you without a break begin to pound into him. Rin wants to ask you to slow down, to give him a few seconds to catch his breath, but he only finds himself able to whimper pathetically, hips shaking with how overwhelmed he feels.
Not that you seemed able to control your impulses now. Hands gripping his hips, nails grown into claws digging into his skin to make him bleed, creating space for yourself inside him, heavy balls slapping against his ass with each thrust — it felt so full, Rin couldn't help but wonder how much you were holding in, how full you would make him. His mind whirls with thought.
You bite any patch of skin you can find, drooling over it, muttering in a mindless frenzy, "mine, mine, mine," and "I'll fill you with my seed- give you my pups, ahhh you'll be so- beautiful- full- p-pregnant..."
Rationally, Rin knew there was no way he could get pregnant, but the dirty talk still got him hot. Something in his mind was telling him that maybe if you tried really hard, it could be possible.
Rin can only stay there as he allows himself to be used, being pulled back into each of your thrusts as if he weighed nothing, cock hanging between his legs and dripping onto the floor. Rin's spine tenses as you slam into him again and again, rolling your hips, whimpering pathetically, trying to... drive your knot into him.
Oh.
Fuck.
His hole tightens, tensing and making it harder for your try to knot him. You never did it before, always afraid of hurting him, but now you insistently pushed against him, growling, groaning, sounding so close to howling as you tried to go deeper, to be closer, as if there was any deeper to go. To knot him, to breed him so full until he could think of nothing else but your massive cock splitting him in half.
Rin tries to prepare himself, his body unconsciously fighting the invasion, and nothing in the world can prepare him for the flash in his vision as his rim is forced to relax and your knot slams into it, snapping into place inside him.
His eyes roll back in his head and his cock throbs between his thighs, seeming to cum over and over again.
You're talking over Rin, stuttering about how he's yours, how his hole is yours and how you're going to keep him in your knot forever. Rin shouldn't want this so much, but he does, badly. He wants you to impregnate him, fill him with your pups and never let him go, so you can mold his hole with your huge cock and mark him as yours.
If he could force his brain to cooperate then he would say that.
He's fucked stupid in your knot pushing against his insides, forcing him to accept. Getting harder to breathe by the minute, spine curved to keep his ass in the air to be used as your personal fleshlight even as his sensitive hole protests.
His sensitive nipples scrape against the cold floor and his thighs tremble, barely able to hold his position as he feels his insides flood with heat, your seed filling his stomach. It's so much that it leaks, running down his thighs. Your scent is finally marked on him. You growl contentedly as you breed him.
Rin feels himself disassociating from his body before your balls even empty.
Until the end of your rut you're going to break him, make him nothing but your cum dump, making sure to leave him full and pregnant. He hopes so.

To Break and Adore {Shidou Ryusei x Itoshi Sae x Reader}
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
For as much as Sae acted bothered by your combined attentions, he loathed being ignored. There was a reason he chose two clingy lovers, after all. He didn’t know how to take affection normally, so he had to be forcibly smothered in it. He stared up at you. You could see the muscle in his jaw twitching as he warred with himself. You give him one more prod. “If you want something, you’re gonna have to use your words, y’know.” He lets out a sound reminiscent of a cat hiss. “Human words, pussy cat,” Ryusei teases. “I hate you both,” Sae says through gritted teeth. “Now shut up and fuck me.” - Or, Sae, Ryusei, and you fuck nasty for 6k words.
Minors Do Not Interact, explicit smut, reader and sae both have afab anatomy with words like cunt pussy and clit used, no gendered pronouns used for reader, bratty sub sae, dom/slightly switch leaning ryusei and reader, pussy grinding, vaginal sex, cunnilingus, breeding kink, pussy spanking, praise kink, degradation, little bit of objectification i guess, some tacky breeding kink dirty talk courtesy of shidou, multiple orgasms, let me know if i missed a tag, just so much sex i don't know what to tell you. word count: 6200 | Ao3 version
Tumblr media
Sae’s so wet already that it drips off him like honey.
It stokes the fire burning in your stomach, seeing such a cold man begin to lose himself from nothing more than a little naked making out. His face is still a blank mask, but you can see the haziness creeping into his eyes. You want him to show how much he likes it. You want to shatter his pretty porcelain mask to pieces and watch him break in your hands.
It’s a testament to his own desire that he lets you flip him so his back is pressed into the sheets and his soft red hair splays across the pillows. He hasn’t given you more of a reaction yet, raising one perfectly sculpted eyebrow coolly; a challenge, almost. As if he isn’t sprawled under you, thick thighs spread invitingly, the traces of arousal leaking from his glistening pink pussy smeared on their insides.
You smirk down at him, taking his expression as the unspoken challenge it was. You grip his hips, hard enough for him to let out a soft sigh, and pull him closer to you, rearranging your legs to prepare him for what’s next. You're close enough so that when you lean forward to kiss him again, it causes your wet folds to grind against his.
Sae moans into your mouth. His tongue, previously tangled with yours, goes slack with pleasure as you grind your clits together.
You’re barely holding it together yourself; you start out slow, each thrust of your hips sliding your wet pussies together with a loud, sticky-sounding noise. Each time your clit slips through his labia, you can feel just how fucking soaking he is for you. And every time your clits kiss, Sae lets out a whimper that makes you want to wreck him even more.
You can’t help but pick up the pace, frantically humping into your lover as his nails scratch across your back, desperately trying to anchor himself as before the pleasure carries him away completely. He’s not even kissing you anymore; the two of you are just groaning and panting into each other’s open mouths, like animals. He feels so fucking good, a warm, wet, dripping dream as you grind together. A perfect little toy, just for you to ruin.
Your thrusts are becoming less and less coordinated as the lust threatens to overtake you, but Sae doesn’t seem to notice. In fact, his moans are getting even more high pitched, and he’s moving, squirming underneath you, like he doesn’t know whether he wants to escape from the sensations or grind into you to chase the feeling.
You can’t take it anymore. You need to see his face.
He whines when you pull away from your mockery of a kiss; he whines even louder when your more upright position allows you to rut against him harder. The friction of your clits against each other feels so good it almost hurts, making your hands reflexively clench on his waist and your eyes haze over.
When you come back to yourself, you can finally admire what a mess you’ve made of him. His normally sharp green eyes are completely fogged over; they’re glued to you, but you can’t even tell if he sees you or if he’s completely lost in his arousal. His lips are swollen red, slick and gaping, and he’s panting with every whine and moan, open mouth showing you the tip of his pretty pink tongue. Sae Itoshi, the ice prince, has melted underneath you; the porcelain mask has cracked to reveal the pleasure-flushed, wrecked beauty you adore creating.
Your voice is rough when you speak. “Ahh, Sae…” you groan, “You look so fuckin’ pretty all ruined like this…”
He moans at your words, and with one more harsh grind of your pussy to his, he comes.
Eyes rolling back into his head, he lets out a high-pitched whine as he soaks both your cunts with his release. His thighs twitch, trying their best to lock around you, but you force them apart so you can hump him through his orgasm, and chase yours at the same time.
It only takes you a little longer than him to catch it, shuddering as the tight, wet heat in your core snaps, pussy clenching around nothing as pleasure courses through you.
Your limbs unlock after your orgasm finishes washing over you, and you flop down on top of your lover, exhausted.
Sae lets out huff as you slump into him, but he makes no move to push you off. Instead, he pulls you up so he can give you another lazy, sloppy kiss as you both catch your breaths.
“Mmm, was that good, baby?” you ask, pulling away from his sweet lips after a moment.
His face is still lax with satisfaction after his release, but he manages to pull it into something resembling his normal unimpressed expression. “It was okay.”
“Brat. I felt you squirting on me.”
“So vulgar.”
You give him your best shit-eating grin. “Oh, please. You know who we’re both dating. That’s nothing.”
Sae snorts. “True. Where is the horny demon anyways? He normally materializes out of nowhere whenever there’s a hint of something sexual.”
All of a sudden, you hear the front door of your apartment slam open.
“DADDY’S HOME, BABYDOLLS!”
“You fucking summoned him, holy shit,” you cackle.
Sae pinches his nose, like he’s getting a headache, but you catch the faint uptick of his lips.
It doesn’t take long for Ryusei to find the two of you; you hadn’t bothered to move, so when he enters your bedroom, he’s greeted with the sight of his naked lovers on top of each other. His eyes immediately drift down to where your cunts are still pressed together, connected with slow-drying strings of slick, and he grins lecherously.
“Ohohoho, getting frisky without me? How naughty~” He moves closer to the bed, undoing the zip on his pants to reveal he’s not wearing any underwear, a fact that is not surprising in the slightest after knowing him for so long. Also unsurprisingly, he’s already sporting a half-chub just from seeing you both in such a compromising position.
You sit up, stretching so you can grab Ryusei's shirt collar and yank him into a kiss. He wastes no time in shoving his tongue inside, acting like he’s trying to taste every corner of your mouth with it. He makes out with you until you feel your lower stomach growing heavy with arousal again, then he pulls away. He doesn’t leave you alone, however, choosing instead to lick his way down to your throat, before pressing his lips to your skin and sucking harshly.
You let out a surprised moan. You feel a huff of air as he chuckles into your ear before continuing to mark out your skin. You wrap one hand around his nape, pulling him into you as he laps and sucks and bites his way down your neck. The other gropes around blindly, until you can slip it into his open fly and squeeze his warm girth. Your touch causes his cock to fill out even more, and Ryusei to let out a deep groan before he bites down viciously on your shoulder.
He pulls back just before his sharp canines can fully pierce your flesh, but the mark is still vivid enough to throb with blood, in perfect time with your cunt.
“Enjoying the show, pretty boy?”
The voice is enough to remind you of the warm body still trapped partially under yours. Sae’s eyes have darkened several shades, shifting into a stormier tone of green, and they’re locked to you and Ryusei. However, he was ever the brat.
“The two of you look like animals trying to eat each other,” Sae says, voice steadier than you expected from someone who was mewling like a kitten at your touch mere minutes earlier.
Unfortunately for him, Ryusei and you share a braincell. “Kinky,” you say in unison, before meeting each other’s eyes and smiling.
“And frankly,” you continue, mockingly, “bold words from someone who was scratching up my back like a feral cat from a little bit of grinding.”
“Oh, really?” Ryusei purrs, turning to lock eyes with Sae. “Did you make him come hard?”
You scoot backwards and remove your hand from where it’s been languishing in his pants. Two fingers swipe through the mess of slick that is your and Sae’s crotches, raising them up so Ryusei can see how they glisten and drip in the light. “I think he squirted.”
Ryu grips your wrist, pulling your fingers into his mouth. The taste of your combined arousals makes him let out a filthy moan, as he licks and sucks at your digits to get every trace of the flavor he can. He detaches with an audible slurping noise. “Ahh, that’s the stuff~”
Sae lets out a tsk, before sitting up and scooting away on the bed. He seems unruffled, but you know him. You know what the faint cherry-blossom blush dusted along his cheekbones means. He’s still just as aroused as you.
If he thinks he can pull away from your attention, he’s wrong.
“Aww, baby, where are you going?” Ryusei purrs. He climbs onto the bed, one hand beside Sae’s head so he can loom over him. “The party’s just getting started~”
Sae narrows his eyes. “I’m sure the two of you can…entertain yourselves…while I get some well-needed rest.”
You know him well enough to smell his weakness, so you strike. Moving closer, you hover over your boyfriend just like Ryusei is. “Sounds like you’re jealous, Sae. You wanna be the center of attention again, huh?”
His face twitches into a minuscule pout. Ryusei, grin sharp, goes in for the kill shot.
“Thought about you all day, baby. Got so horny thinkin’ about fucking you stupid on my cock.” His voice is deep and raspy. He pulls his cock out from his fly, and you watch, entranced, as he slaps the red, dripping head against Sae’s blushing cunt. Drops of precum drip off of his cock head, melting into the slick coating Sae’s pussy. You want to lick them both.
Sae’s breath hitches. His eyes, like yours, are fixed on Ryusei’s cock. He looks hungry.
“Of course,” Ryusei drawls, “If you wanna go to bed…I can just stuff sweetheart over here with my come instead…” He pulls away from Sae, only to reach out and pinch your clit, making you let out a sound between a whine and a yelp. He grins, cruelly. “See? Baby’s so wet and ready for me…and wanting…”
“Mhmm,” you sigh. You ignore the boy flat on the bed, instead locking eyes with Ryusei and letting him see the heat they hold. He licks his lips. “Kinda wanted to see Sae’s face go all cum-drunk again…but if he doesn’t want to play, then I guess we don’t need him to have a good time.”
You move closer to Ryu, and away from Sae, not looking at him even once.
Just a few inches of distance before your lips connect, and you’re interrupted by a harsh tug to your arm.
Sae scowls up at the both of you, as if he didn’t just pull you two back on top of him.
“Oh?~”
“What is it, kitty?”
You look down at him with the gaze of a predator. Ryusei’s smile is full of teeth, and lust.
For as much as Sae acted bothered by your combined attentions, he loathed being ignored. There was a reason he chose two clingy lovers, after all. He didn’t know how to take affection normally, so he had to be forcibly smothered in it.
He stared up at you. You could see the muscle in his jaw twitching as he warred with himself.
You give him one more prod. “If you want something, you’re gonna have to use your words, y’know.”
He lets out a sound reminiscent of a cat hiss.
“Human words, pussy cat,” Ryusei teases.
“I hate you both,” Sae says through gritted teeth. “Now shut up and fuck me.”
-
Sae’s fingernails dig crescent-moon-shaped marks into the meat of your thighs. He was eating you out until he finally got too fuck-drunk to concentrate; now, he lets you lazily grind on his tongue, his eyes rolled back and face lax with overstimulation.
Ryusei fucks into him with the strength of a battering ram. Each thrust of his hips shoves Sae’s face further into your cunt. Ryu is smiling, a sharp, cruel grin, showing off all of his teeth, even as the first drops of sweat trail down his neck and chest from the exertion. You can see the barest glimpse of his cock every time it leaves Sae, glinting in the light with a mixture of slick and frothy precum; the sound it makes is obscene. The only thing keeping Sae from lying prone on the bed are Ryusei’s hands holding his hips up. His grip is so tight that you know it’s going to leave pretty wine-purple marks on your lover’s pale skin; marks you can use to torment Sae later. You can’t wait to poke those healing bruises and watch him blush and bristle at the reminder of what he let the two of you do to him on a near-daily basis. As if you didn’t know all the places to touch that would make him whine and shake, as if Ryusei couldn’t make him putty with one good stroke of his dick. It was so cute to watch him act high and mighty all the time, as if he wasn’t your little toy in the bedroom.
“Isn’t that right?” you say to yourself, voice slurring a bit as you ride Sae’s face. “You’re just our little toy, aren’t you?”
He doesn’t respond, too out of it to listen; however, unfortunately for him, Ryusei hears.
“Oh, didya hear that, Sae-chan?” he coos. He stops the jackhammering motion of his hips, holding Sae speared onto his cock. Your other boyfriend lets out a whine, gripping your thighs harshly in protest. After a few seconds of not being force-fed pleasure, he lifts his head to squint up at you. The haze hadn’t fully faded from his eyes, but even so, his lip curls up into a little sneer.
“Th’ fuck did you stop?” he rasps.
Ryusei leans over him, pressing his chest to Sae’s back; the latter lets out a small whine as Ryusei’s cock is forced even deeper into him. “Maybe,” Ryusei rasps, breathing directly into Sae’s ear, “I was waiting for you to say ‘yes.’”
“Yes to what, demon?” Sae snips.
“Yes when I asked you if you were just our little toy,” you interrupt.
Even trapped between you and Ryusei as he is, even though he was having the brains fucked out of him not even five minutes ago, Sae’s fire hasn’t been fully dampened. “’M not anyone’s toy,” he says defiantly. His cheeks are flushed an ever-deepening pink, his bangs slicked with sweat, lips swollen and sticky with your slick. Yet he still has a little spark in his eyes, the flickers of rebellion glittering in their sea-green depths.
You think you’ll have fun snuffing that spark out. Ryusei meets your eyes, and you can tell from the hungry glint in them that he feels the same.
Without warning, he bites into the soft flesh of Sae’s shoulder, causing him to let out a yelp that turned into a low moan. “But you’re not just anyone’s toy, babydoll, you’re our toy.”
“Of course you are,” you purr. You hook your thumb into Sae’s mouth, tilting his chin up as you press down onto his soft tongue. “A bratty little doll, but ours. As if we’d let just anyone have you. Not when you melt so prettily for us.”
He still has the little spark of conflict in his eyes, but it’s partially obscured by the glistening crystal tears clinging onto his lashes. Just a little spark of good pain, a little show of dominance, of ownership, and his sharp claws temporarily retract.
You felt a large hand grasp behind your neck, before Ryusei pulls you in to smash his lips into yours. He plunders your mouth, pure passion dripping from every movement of his tongue; you match him as best as you can, harsh enough to nick his lips with your teeth, spreading a hint of the rich metallic flavor of his blood against your palate.
Nothing got the two of you going like making Sae break his perfect icy facade.
However…the game wasn't over yet. Though Sae's mask was cracking, it hadn't completely shattered. After all, he still was able to talk.
Ryusei's leaning into your kiss had caused his cock to grind just a little bit further into Sae, seemingly pacifying him enough even though your attention had strayed from him for a minute. But not forever. As Ryusei's brutal pounding had ceased, Sae was able to gather enough mental faculties again to resume licking at your cunt, drawing your attention back to him once more.
You pull away from Ryusei's mouth, and look down at Sae. He's infuriatingly good at eating you out, when he focuses on you; for what he lacks of Ryusei's unrelenting animal hunger for your pussy, he makes up for in technique. Each stroke of his tongue between your folds is followed by a light kiss or suck to your clit; he meticulously observes your reactions so he knows just how to stimulate your nerves to extract the most pleasure. You shudder, involuntarily, as his ministrations send a frisson of heat through you.
As soon as he knows he has your attention back, when he knows you are focused on his actions and the sweat-tear-slick glisten of his face between your thighs, he stops.
"Forgot your toy?" he rasps, a hint of his usual mocking underneath. He makes sure to make eye contact with both you and Ryusei, challenging.
"Of course not," you murmur, running your fingers through his hair. "Just forgot how needy he is."
"Maybe," Ryusei says, his voice a rich with lust, "Our pretty little doll needs to be taught a lesson~"
"Punishment?" you ask. "Hmm…but I am having fun with him, even if he's a brat." Sae puts his teeth on your leg at the word brat, a light threat, but without looking at him you yank at his hair and he relaxes.
"Just a little bit~" Ryusei chuckles. "I have an idea…and you'll still get to play with him~"
"What?" you ask, breathless.
You expect him to lean back into your space again, but he pulls away instead. You hear the slick sound of his cock slipping out of Sae's cunt before you realize what's going on.
Sae lets out an indignant whine when he feels the absence. You can see how Ryusei's eyes drift down, and he's silent for a moment, no doubt watching Sae's empty pussy gape, flushed red and clenching around nothing. You've seen it before, and you can fully understand wanting to linger for a second on the beautiful sight.
Any further protests from Sae are interrupted by Ryusei giving him a sharp smack against a pale, round ass cheek. Sae squawks, whipping his head around to give Ryusei a glare that would no doubt be more intimidating if his eyes weren't still a little teary.
"Brats don't deserve to get fucked," Ryusei says, mockingly. "Finish what you started, and then maybe I'll fill up your greedy little cunt again, okay, Sae-chan?"
Once Ryusei's meaning clicks, you give him a sharp smile. You tug Sae's chin so he's looking up at you again; his eyes narrow when he sees the leer on your face. "Come on, baby," you purr. "You were so excited to eat me out just a few minutes ago…how about you be a good boy and put your tongue to good use. Make me come, and then I'll make sure you get fucked out of your pretty little head, okay?"
"And if you don't wanna eat that pretty pussy out…" Ryusei adds, "I'll stick my cock in it instead and you can sit back and watch!"
Sae's blank face may seem thoughtless to most people, but you know him too well to fall for that. You can see the deliberation in his sharp jade eyes; his inherent desire to be obstinate warring with his craving for the dual high of orgasm and being the center of his lovers' attention. You can see it in the way the his gaze flickers from side to side, in the way he bites down on his rosy lips hungrily, in the way he subtly clenches his thighs together against the throb of his cunt.
It takes only four seconds for his lust to win. Your instinct is to laugh at him, but you're cut off by the attentions of his perfect velvet tongue against your core, and it turns from a low chuckle into a higher-pitched moan.
For all you teased him about being your toy, he was really just playing before. When Ryusei was fucking him, Sae was eating you out because he needed your attention on him as well. Now, with nothing to stimulate him, and the promise of a reward hanging over his head, he was a man on a mission.
Gone are the teasing licks through your folds; Sae is fully burying his face into your cunt now. His hands are gripping your thighs like a lifeline as he shoves his tongue deep inside of you, deep enough to scrape against the sensitive nerves in the walls of your pussy. In turn, you grip at his hair, guiding his face so that the sharp curve of his nose is notched perfectly against your clit. With every thrust of Sae's tongue inside of you, the point of his nose rubs your clit just right, sending an electric flicker of pleasure through you. He increases the pace, movements breaking slightly from his usual precise, methodical way of taking you apart. He really is eating you out, letting out small grunts and whines into your core. You can feel the slightest edge of his teeth scraping your folds he sucks your slick straight from the source, and the sensation makes you shiver.
You hook one of your legs over his shoulder, using the leverage to pull him even deeper into you. Even though he's strong, body honed by years of intense training, he's fuck-drunk and lax enough now that you could pull him around like a rag doll if you wanted. The angle the pressure of your leg and your hand in his hair force his neck into can't be comfortable, but he takes it so well you don't even hesitate to guide him for your use.
You're so caught up in the delicious pleasure you take from Sae's mouth that you don't even notice as one of his hands leaves your hip and clumsily, desperately, moves downward.
You do, however, notice when Ryusei stops lazily jerking off his cock to land a harsh slap to Sae's cunt.
There's enough force behind the strike that you feel how Sae is shoved forward; with that, and the absolutely filthy moan Sae lets out as his eyes roll back into his head, you feel seconds away from coming so hard you see stars.
"Trying to touch yourself, huh, Sae-chan?" Ryusei's voice has a dark, mean edge to it. "Filthy little whore. Can't even do one thing without thinking about stuffing his pussy full, huh?"
"Ryu," you call. Your words slur a bit with your own desire for orgasm. Ryusei's vivid eyes meet yours. "Slap him again."
He doesn't hesitate. Another strike, the wet sound of the impact rings through the room. Sae whimpers, his nails cutting into your hip.
You let out a delirious giggle. "Think he could come just from that." You grind your pussy against Sae's face, coating it even more with your slick. You want to watch him break, for your own amusement and pleasure.
Ryusei gives you a feral grin. "That's an even better idea, baby." He turns his focus back to Sae. "We were being kinda nice to you before, kitty…but you couldn't even do one thing right…so I guess we gotta make it hurt now~"
He ends his statement with another blow to Sae's cunt; this time, you can see his hand go lower, low enough to catch Sae's clit with this strike. He squeals with the sensation, a high-pitched sound muffled by how his face is still shoved into your pussy.
Ryusei pulls back his hand, and you can see Sae's slick glistening on his fingers. The gloss of it dripping down his wrist highlights the veins and muscles that exertion makes bulge under his skin. His own gaze is locked onto Sae's core, which is no doubt red and swollen from his punishment. However, instead of feeling any sort of pity for him, Sae's state just serves to rile Ryusei up even more.
In quick succession, three more slaps rain down upon Sae. With each one, you can both see and feel the increase in force; in how Ryusei's muscles flex with each blow, and in how Sae jolts forward as he whimpers into your sex. After the third strike, Ryusei leaves his hand where it is and rubs; a motion that, if done softly, might be soothing, but likely just aggravated the already sore and sensitive folds. Sae's eyes clench closed at the feeling, squeezing out crystal tears that cling to his lashes like a string of diamonds.
Ryusei laughs, deep and syrupy with arousal. "Such a fucking slut~"
Sae is beyond arguing; he whines in response.
It only takes one more slap for him to come.
He screams when he does, every muscle in his body tensing and shaking with the force of it. It must be a painful orgasm, ripped violently from his body, but you know he loves it. He shudders through the aftershocks, whimpering as he rides each new wave of pleasure. After that, his body goes limp, and he tilts his head to rest on your thigh, damp hair pressed to your thigh, petal-pink mouth gasping for air after nearly suffocating himself in your cunt. You slowly run your hand through his red locks, petting him gently.
Your body feels electric. You're so close, both from Sae's tongue and the view of him being shattered by Ryusei's hand. You nearly came when he did, just from the sight of it, but somehow it wasn't enough, not after your first orgasm.
You need more.
"Ryu~" you call. It's like calling a hunting dog, the way he snaps to attention, his blown-out fuchsia eyes focusing in on you. Waiting for his owner's command. You spread one leg out further, leaving a little room next to Sae's fucked-out body for Ryusei to see your own arousal. "Make me come."
Your eyes flutter closed as Ryusei lunges forward, colliding with you in a messy kiss. His tongue fills your mouth, tangling with yours in a filthy dance that makes your cunt throb with desire. Ryusei swallows up your moan as his hand finds your slit. You're open enough from Sae's ministrations that two of Ryu's rough fingers slip right in. He hooks them inside of you, rubbing at the sweet spot inside of your soaking pussy as his thumb tortures your swollen clit. It takes barely even a few more skilled movements of his fingers, and you're dragged over the precipice you've balanced on the edge of for so long.
It's a bright shock of pleasure that flashes through your entire body, whiting out your vision for a moment as you gasp into the kiss. Ryu works you through it, massaging the overcharged and sensitive nerves of your cunt.
You make out with him for an unknowable amount of time, slowly drifting down from your high and reveling in the floaty feeling you get from his touch and his lips on yours. Eventually, Ryusei does pull back; only a few inches, letting you admire the red flush on his cheeks and the way his pink-tipped hair, limp with sweat, hangs down in front of his hooded eyes. You lean forward to press a sweet kiss to his nose, then his cheeks, then just to the side of his lips, just so you can see his smile.
"Thank you, baby," you say. "Love you."
"Love you too, pretty," he purrs.
He pulls away from you, and you can see how his cock is still painfully hard, the head of it flushed nearly purple with arousal, the throbbing veins standing out starkly against his thick shaft. It's glistening, with precum and remnants of Sae's slick from the fucking he gave Sae's cunt not long ago.
"Are you going to finish what you started?" you ask.
Ryusei raises an eyebrow.
You tilt your chin up, subtly gesturing to Sae.
Your red-haired lover is lounging on the bed, his head still pillowed against your thigh. However, he seems to have regained at least some of his awareness, as his deep jade eyes are open once more, silently watching his partners.
He clicks his tongue. "Horny dog," he murmurs. The bite of his words is softened by how his lust-warm gaze immediately locks onto Ryusei's hard cock, and the way he ever so subtly spreads his legs.
You think for a moment that Ryusei is going to tease him again, play the game both of you love so much of withholding affection from Sae just to watch him beg for it. But not now; the hungry way he looks at Sae tells you that he's tired of playing with his food.
Ryusei's hands return to their rightful place on Sae's hips, laying perfectly on top of the faintly forming bruises from earlier in the night. He tightens his grip, tendons in his hands jumping as Sae's soft flesh spills from between his fingers. Then, in one swift movement, he drags Sae across the bed, so that his red-flushed cunt is visible to you as Ryusei's cock taps against it.
The new angle gives you a perfect view of the arch of Sae's back as Ryusei messily humps him. Sae lets out a whimper at the friction, cunt no doubt still tender from the spanking it received; but you can see how he pushes back slightly into each messy roll of Ryusei's hips.
Your hand slides down between your thighs. You're still sensitive from your orgasm, but seeing them together is rekindling the sparks of arousal deep in your core, and two fingers softly rubbing against your clit takes some of the pressure off the growing heat inside.
It doesn't escape Ryusei's attention. "Looks like we've got an audience, huh, pretty boy?" he teases, patting Sae's thigh in a way that's more mocking than comforting. "Better put on a show, then!~"
He pulls back from Sae, one hand going down to grip his heavy cock. He squeezes the shaft, as if to stave off orgasm. A dribble of precum squirts from his cock head and onto Sae's thigh, glazing his skin. Ryu's eyes flutter, and he lets out a soft groan at the stimulation of his own hand. "Fuck, not gonna last long, baby. Gonna fuckin' drain my balls inside of you, fill you up so good...Gonna breed you so good…"
He slips the head of his cock between Sae's swollen labia, rubbing the head through his slit until it kisses at his entrance. "Eyes on us, lovely," he coos, and blows you a cheeky kiss, before he shoves his cock all the way into Sae's pussy.
Sae lets out a yelp that trails off into a moan as he is impaled fully. Ryusei wastes no time resuming his brutal pace in fucking him, not even giving Sae a minute to adjust before he's thrusting into him like a wild thing.
Ryusei wasn't lying when he said he was going to breed Sae. That's the only way you can describe the animalistic way he fucks Sae into the mattress; pure, base, feral sex, where the only end possible is Sae left rung out and stuffed full of Ryusei's come.
One of Ryusei's hands rests on Sae's scalp, pushing him into the mattress while his other hand holds his hips at the perfect angle to pump into. Sae's cheek is pressed to the sheets, head facing you, so you can see perfectly how his eyes roll back into his skull. His lashes are clumped together with tears; his flushed face is wet with them, along with his own spit and your drying come. His pink, bitten lips are slack, letting drool and moans slips from them unheeded in equal measure. He doesn't have it in him to snark back at his lovers; he doesn't have the energy in him to talk at all. All he can do is go slack as Ryusei abuses his wrung-out pussy.
Your other lover, however, has perhaps too much talk in him. A steady stream of filth spills from his lips, somehow worse even than the drivel he babbles on the field when he scores. In between every grunt and moan, he makes sure to detail just how deep he's going to force his come into Sae. "Gonna come right into that precious little womb of yours, kitty—ungh—fuckin' fill it up with my seed until your stomach bulges, until you look pregnant—until you're so full it spills out around my cock—fuck yeah—gonna fuckin'—breed you—"
He talks until he's stumbling over his own words, syllables stuttered between heavy breaths and loud, breathy sounds of pleasure. Sweat drips down the pretty line of his neck, slipping along his Adam's apple and down, pooling into the dips of his collar bones, and trailing down between his pecs and across his abs. With each thrust of his hips, you can see how the muscles in his ass and his legs tighten, how his strong arms flex with the force he puts into every plunge of his cock into your lover's cunt.
The wet sounds of their fucking are so loud, so obscene, that you're losing the train of your own thoughts—you can barely even coordinate the movement of your fingers against your cunt. You want to watch them like this forever, you want to be Sae, you want to be Ryusei, you want to be sandwiched between them. You want this to be your eternity, living in debaucherous bliss with your lovers for the rest of your days.
You need to touch. You shuffle forward, fingers leaving your own sex and reaching beneath Sae's hips to find his clit. You pinch the bud harshly, tugging at it like you're trying to milk the orgasm from his body.
He comes with a broken scream, body tensing as he tries to arch against Ryusei's grip on him. His cunt positively gushes, soaking your hand and the sheets beneath. He must clench down like a vice, because Ryusei curses up a storm, giving a few more unsteady pumps into Sae before he comes.
"Fuck, yeah, take it, take it," he chants, riding his orgasm out as he sloppily grinds into Sae. Ryusei makes good on his promise to breed him; white come squirts and oozes out from where your boys are connected, dripping onto your hand to mix with Sae's release.
When Ryusei finally pulls out, cock still halfway hard and coated in creamy white, the thick semen begins to pour out of Sae's poor abused cunt, even as his hole flutters, trying to keep it inside. He collapses onto the bed, completely worn out, sticky and sated. Perfectly broken by pleasure. You press gentle kisses to his face, even as Sae drifts in and out of awareness. After a second of recovery, Ryusei joins you, moving Sae into a more comfortable position before laying down beside him and kissing along his back and shoulder blades. Sae, barely conscious at this point, hums at the attention, slipping into dreamland with the pleased the air of a spoiled cat after a good meal.
With you and Ryusei working together, it only takes a few minutes to get Sae's dozing body wiped clean and wrapped up in blankets. When he wakes up, no doubt he will want a bath, and he'll force you and Ryusei to do all the work of carrying him there and washing him. It'll be worth it, even if you'll tease him for his neediness. But for now, you lightly kiss where his lashes brush his pink cheeks, and let him rest.
When Ryusei's powerful arms wrap around your waist, tugging you towards the other end of the bed, you follow without protest. His cock is hard and hot where it presses against your lower back, and neither of you are quite done yet, so it can't hurt to have a little more fun. You'll rejoin Sae to snuggle and rest and smother him in attention soon enough. For now, you turn your head so Ryusei can lick over the bite mark on your neck, and let the pleasure wash over you.

✦ DEDICATED TO YOU
Tumblr media
✦ one shot ,, rin itoshi x gn!reader
Tumblr media
content:: you're a famous idol. and you're dating a professional player. of course you'll be making headlines when your relationship was made public.
for @yui2aku ,, fluff ,, 822 words
additional:: swearing, they're both whipped for eachother, might be ooc
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Itoshi Rin is a rising star in the football industry. And you were in the peak of your idol career.
Obviously, the media would freak if they find out that the two of you were dating.
So you kept the relationship a secret, doing your best to not give out any hints. From making sure not to mention each other too much in interviews, to carefully crafting social media posts to ensure that fans won't be able to tell that you were going to a place together. Both of you and your management carefully concealed it from the public view.
But, of course, not everything goes to plan.
PROFESSIONAL ATHLETE ITOSHI RIN AND SOLO IDOL [L/N] [NAME] SEEN HOLDING HANDS AT HANEDA AIRPORT.
This was the headline of one of the many, many articles that flooded all across the internet. Your heart stopped, then slammed back at full force. You stood up straighter, brows furrowing together. The first time you opened your phone for the day, and you find posts about this everywhere.
Oh fuck. You fucked up, didn't you?
“Shit. What the hell,” you curse under your breath, reading more into the article.
Meanwhile, Rin looks up from your lap, opening an eye, disturbed from resting on your thighs when you suddenly stopped running your hands through his black locks. Your eyes flicked towards his,and he gave you a look, as if to ask what suddenly bothered you to halt playing with his hair.
You blink at him, before sheepishly turning your phone around, showing him what's been blowing up all over the media. “So… maybe we weren't discreet enough with the clothes I wore to greet you.”
His face instantly dropped, turning into something more serious as his teal eyes skimmed through the overview of the post. Rin sighed, grumbling something under his breath before burying his face onto your stomach. “...I told you to just stay at home and wait for me,” he murmured after a while, draping his arms around your waist.
“C’mon… you know I had to greet you right away. It was after a big overseas game I couldn't come to— it was the same time I had a concert,” you scoffed, reasoning with him. “The least I could do was pick you up at the airport.”
Rin didn't look up. He was touched by your little gesture to try and make up for not attending a vital match, so he didn't use that argument further. “Tch. Should've at least covered up more of your features,” he lightheartedly remarked. Though he really liked the uniqueness you had with the way you dressed up, so he can't hate on that. “Well, what do we do now?” he asked, moving the topic along from the problem to finding a solution.
You stared down your phone, anxiousness coming back to loom over you. “I should contact my manager,” you remark, watching as he finally lets go of you and sits up properly. “We could schedule a meeting with our PR teams?”
He nodded. “Right. So go do that,” he replied, though he already had a vague idea what they might propose for you two to do. It was a guess.
Tumblr media
That guess was right.
The day after those rumors about the two of you having a secret blew up, you hard launched your relationship to the public.
They decided that coming out clean about this would be the most logical way to proceed— way better than the media speculating that the two of you were just a fling and start tarnishing both of you’s reputation. A proper relationship sounded way better than a one-night stand to the public.
After confirming on each official account, the masses began to be a little more welcoming to it. Hell, the ship tag between you and Rin seemed to blow up with positive posts, even. So that fix was successful.
Once the news calmed down through weeks, everything was back to normal. Well, as normal as it could be with being an idol with a soccer player for a boyfriend. Majority of fans seemed to love the two of you, often making fan media dedicated to your relationship. And in all honesty, it was cute. Plus, you had more material to tease Rin with.
Now, you couldn't help it. You personally asked for your next album to be something special, convincing management it's for the sake of the publication of your relationship. Though, it was dedication for someone special.
An album dedicated to him.
Rin knew those songs were dedicated to him. If those vibrant eyes of yours while you performed on stage— looking straight at him who sat by the vip seats— said anything, it was all about how much you loved him.
Oh, and with the way he looked at you with pure adoration, it was obvious he loved you, too.
Rin was utterly, hopelessly dedicated to you.

" NO NUT NOVEMBER! "
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
summary. how long they last during NNN
characters. nagi, bachira, rin
warnings. gn!reader, suggestive, no nut november
a/n. i did this prompt before with genshin, but it’s november again so i wanted to do it for bllk
Tumblr media Tumblr media
NAGI
☆ reo thought it would be funny to make a bet, challenging nagi with a promise of a new game if he survived the entire month. he agreed since he’d been wanting the game for a while, and well… how hard could it be? apparently… extremely hard. the first week was fine, he barely even made an effort to restrain himself, too focused on other things. however, during week two, he realized how pent up he was getting. he had to actually make an effort, which honestly bugged him. week three comes along and he’s had enough, he can barely touch you without his mind running wild. decides the game isn’t worth it and that it’s too much effort to continue denying himself.
"forget that challenge, it’s such a hassle."
BACHIRA
☆ he tried to do it the year before, but forgot and failed on day 3, so this year he’s determined. he knows it’ll be hard, and he knows it’ll be inconvenient, but his ego pushes him to try anyway. barely makes it through week one, you have to keep reminding him of the challenge before he gets too carried away. halfway through week two, he’s so pent up that he’s begging you to touch him. you remind him yet again, but he insists, promising that he won’t cum and that he just needs a little taste. that, of course, was a lie. he couldn’t hold back and ended up fucking you on the couch.
"please? just for a second? my cock‘s throbbing, cmon."
RIN
☆ he thought it was the dumbest idea ever, but you were the one that insisted he try. you taunted him, poking at his ego and betting that he couldn’t last the whole month. he reluctantly gave in, rolling his eyes and scoffing at your teasing. he made it pretty far without much complaining, but even rin has his needs. during week three, he’s not only very needy, but also annoyed. he’s irritated that the challenge is holding him back, and he’s irritated that every time he tries to give up, you won’t let him. you tease him, telling him that you knew he couldn’t last, and your taunts always make him want to prove you wrong, so he holds out. he’s more moody than usual the last week of november, ready to take it out on you the second the month is over and he can end this stupid challenge. and he does just that. december 1st hits and he’s on you within a minute, hungrily kissing you and tugging at your clothes while grumbling complaints.
"that was hell, i’m never doing that again."

Additional: part of my 500 follower event! see the event description and rules to make a request of your own.
Tumblr media
You tried to evaluate the series of choices you had made which had led to you lying atop a boy with green eyes and sand smeared across his cheeks, a blank expression on his face despite the way you were literally sprawled over him.
First: your family had decided to spend your summer vacation in Spain. This was innocuous and broad enough, considering how large the country was, so you concluded that your brother’s desire to practice his rudimentary Spanish in a more realistic setting than his high school classroom could not be blamed for your plight.
Second: your father had gotten a great deal on rooms in a luxury beachfront hotel. He was like a bloodhound when it came to haggling and discounts, so it wasn’t a surprise that you were staying in such a nice place for a relatively cheap price — and with a complimentary breakfast every morning, too! Anyways, the hotel had its own private pool that you could’ve been lounging around beside, so that probably wasn’t the cause, either.
Third: your mother had told you that the beach within walking distance of the hotel was famous for its smooth waters and pale sand. You had to visit at least once, according to her and every other travel guide written about the region, but since no one had wanted to go with you, you had decided to go alone, bringing a book, a bottle of sunscreen, and a blanket with you, throwing a dress on over your swimsuit and preparing yourself to spend the entire day soaking in the sun’s rays. This was definitely a contributor to your current predicament, although considering the miles of beach that stretched out in both directions as far as the eye could see where you could’ve been instead of right there, it wasn’t the sole factor.
Fourth: you had thought you would get hungry at some point and had had the foresight to bring a sandwich with you. That was definitely the reason. If only you hadn’t been so concerned with your stomach! If only you had just sucked it up and made the trek back to the hotel upon feeling peckish instead of being so lazy and planning ahead, you wouldn’t be in this situation.
“Can you get off of me?” the boy groaned.
“I am so sorry!” you said, scrambling to your feet and offering him your hand. He did not take it, standing on his own and doing his best to wipe the sand from his face. Then he shook his head like a dog, shaking out the grittiness from his soft hair. “I’m really sorry. I was just running so fast, and I was so worried about my sandwich that I didn’t notice you were there until it was too late!”
“Sandwich?” he said. A few paces away, a seagull landed, the remnants of your lunch held in its beak. You and the boy watched as it tilted its head back, swallowing the last few bites before cawing at you in satisfaction.
“You pig!” you shouted, pointing at it, the boy beside you temporarily forgotten as you fumed over the loss. It cocked its head at you. “That was mine!”
“Ah,” the boy said. “Your sandwich.”
The seagull hopped towards you, like it was teasing you or something, and you screeched before diving at it. Satisfied with the mischief it had caused and the food it had stolen, as well as with making a fool out of you, the seagull took wing, flying well out of reach and leaving you facedown on the ground, your stomach grumbling sadly and emptily.
A foot nudged against your rib cage. “Hey. Sandwich girl. You’re not concussed, are you?”
Being referred to as sandwich girl was so humiliating that you were instantly pushing yourself into a sitting position, folding your arms across your chest as you gazed up at the boy, who still wore that same unimpressed expression from when you had barreled into him.
“No,” you said.
“That’s great,” he said, though he did not sound particularly concerned nor relieved. “Mind elaborating a bit more on why you ran me over? You could’ve seriously injured me, and then you would’ve been in a bunch of trouble.”
“You would’ve been in a bunch of trouble,” you mocked, making your voice high and smarmy. “Jeez, what are you, some kind of celebrity or something? I ran you over because I was taking a break from reading my book, and I realized that I was hungry. Well, luckily, I had brought a sandwich along with me, so it wasn’t a huge deal. I was just about ready to dig in, when that fat pig of a bird swooped down and stole it right out of my hands! The gall! The shamelessness! It was definitely laughing at me, and I can’t stand anyone who laughs at me, so naturally I took off in pursuit, and, uh, that’s how I ended up crashing into you. Though you really should’ve been paying more attention, too. What’s so fascinating about the horizon that you just blocked out the rest of the world for it?”
“I like looking at the ocean,” he said. “But, wait. What do you mean, some kind of celebrity? Don’t you know who I am?”
You gave him a once-over. He was tall, though not impressively so, and definitely well-muscled. His hair was a warm shade, and his green eyes were framed with long eyelashes that fluttered every time he blinked. A pair of sunglasses was perched atop the crown of his head, and the top few buttons of his white shirt were undone, lending him a breezy appearance.
“You’re not handsome enough to be an actor, so that can’t be it,” you said, chewing on your lower lip in thought. “Plus, I’ve seen a bunch of movies, and I’m pretty sure you haven’t been in any of them, so if you were in the film industry, you’d be a D-lister at best, and there’s no way you’d want to flex that kind of status.”
He furrowed his brow, the first hint of a different expression than the one he had kept for the entirety of your very brief acquaintance. “What?”
“What else are people famous for?” you said. “Oh! Are you a singer or something? Were you in that one boy band from a few years ago? I’m sorry, I was too busy having a ‘not-like-other-girls’ phase when they were popular, so I never got into them. I’m over the phase now, if you were wondering, but that would be why I didn’t recognize you.”
“You are amazingly off the mark,” he said.
“I am? I’m kind of out of ideas at this point, though. Can I have a hint or something?” you said.
“Do you watch soccer?” he said. You made a face.
“Hell no,” you said. His eye twitched, so you hurried to elaborate. “My little brother is obsessed with it, so by law, I’m required to hate everything related to the sport. Do you have any siblings? You’d get it if you did.”
“Ask your brother about Sae Itoshi,” he said.
“Okay,” you said, drafting a text to your brother and sending it when you had deemed it to be a perfect blend of uninterested and cool while also underscoring the urgency of the request. “So, your name’s Sae Itoshi? I’m Y/N L/N! I’m not a celebrity, though. If you text anyone and ask them about me, they’ll probably be pretty confused.”
“Yeah, I got that impression,” he said. Your phone vibrated in your hand, and when you looked at the notification, you saw that it was from your brother.
uglier sibling: no shit i know about sae itoshi. he’s that one super talented midfielder on re al. he’s dad and i’s fav player atm.
You gulped, glancing up at Sae before returning to your phone.
me: lol wtf is re al.
uglier sibling: it’s madrid’s team lmfaooo dumbass how do you not know that
uglier sibling: actually wait why are u even asking lol
uglier sibling: did u meet him or something
me: funny story actually!
uglier sibling: WHAT
uglier sibling: y/n are u with sae itoshi rn.
uglier sibling: y/n answer pls
uglier sibling: can you at least get his autograph for me or smth???
Pretending like you were still texting your brother, you typed the name Sae Itoshi into your phone’s search engine. The photos that came up matched the boy in front of you, and the news articles made your heart pound. He actually was a celebrity, and furthermore, his earlier arrogance was deserved. If you had somehow injured such a famous player and put him out of commission for the season, then you really would’ve been done for. It hadn’t been an exaggerated sense of self-importance but an honest evaluation of himself.
“Ahem,” you said, feigning a cough to appear dignified and mature. “It seems like you are a pretty well-known soccer player, Mr. Itoshi.”
“It seems like I am,” he said.
“My brother and dad are big fans, apparently,” you said.
“Good thing you didn’t take me out permanently, then, or I’m sure they would’ve been pretty disappointed,” he said.
You cringed. “I’m sorry again.”
“Whatever. I won’t hold it against you; all’s well that ends well, after all,” he said.
“I feel really bad, though,” you said, rubbing the back of your neck sheepishly. “Is there any way I can make it up to you?”
“You didn’t do anything, so there’s nothing to make up for,” he said.
“Not true! I knocked you over and said you’re not handsome!” you said. “I’d say that warrants some kind of recompense.”
“It’ll warrant more recompense if you keep saying it,” he said.
“You agree that you deserve payment, then? Great! Um…how about I…buy you lunch?” you said, the insistent pangs of your stomach reminding you that you still hadn’t eaten.
“Is food the only thing you can think about?” he said.
“For your information, it is not, but I haven’t eaten since the morning, so I’m hungry,” you said.
“Whatever helps you sleep at night,” he said. “It’s okay. I’m not interested, and just so you know, I’ve been asked out by plenty of girls, but by far, this has been the lamest attempt.”
You supposed, looking back, that it did seem like that was your end goal. But, of course, it had been nothing of the sort; you were just planning on going to eat yourself and thought that you might as well kill two birds with one stone. It was just your luck that he had twisted your words into such a request, though! How were you supposed to maneuver yourself out of this position? If you denied it furiously, then it would seem like you were just ashamed at getting caught, but if you didn’t say anything, then it would be akin to agreeing with his accusation.
There was only one way out of it, and even though you were usually opposed to lying, and even more opposed to bullying others, it was the only thing you could think of. So, bowing your head, you clasped your hands together in front of your heart.
“I’m sorry, but you’re not my type, Mr. Itoshi,” you said. “Like I said, you’re really not that handsome. Also, I’m into tall guys.”
That was how you found yourself sitting across from Sae Itoshi in a private booth at a fancy restaurant, your hands trembling as you read over the menu items and their associated prices.
“I’m in the mood for steak,” Sae said, stroking his chin and setting down his menu, interlacing his fingers and raising his eyebrows at you. “What about you?”
“Steak is a dinner item, don’t you think?” you said, your head spinning at the fact that he had picked the most expensive thing that was served at the entire establishment. “It’s lunchtime.”
“I’m an athlete,” he said seriously. “I need a lot of protein in all of my meals. Especially because I’m so short. It’s important for me to build muscle, don’t you agree? How else will I manage to compete with the taller, better-looking players?”
“Steak it is,” you said with a faux smile. “As for me, I’ll just get crackers.”
“Crackers? What kind of lunch is that?” he said.
“An affordable one,” you muttered under your breath.
“What?” he said.
“Nothing!” you said. “It’s nothing. I just really like crackers.”
He gave you an odd look. “Alright.”
You waved the waiter over. He had been hovering around your table for the past few minutes, and as soon as he saw you beckoning him, he sprinted to your side, fumbling with his pen and notepad before reaching you and bowing.
“Sae Itoshi, sir! I’m sorry to interrupt your date, but I just wanted to say that I’m a huge fan of yours. If — if it’s not too much trouble, could I have your autograph?” he said.
Sae sighed, a long-suffering and irritable sigh. “Just take our order first. I’ll give it to you after we’ve eaten.”
“Oh, my apologies,” the waiter said. “What would you like?”
“I’ll have the steak, and I also want this sandwich, but omit the tomatoes, please,” he said, pointing at the menu items he wanted.
“Got it,” the waiter said. “What about you, miss?”
“Just the crackers,” you said. The waiter paused, but when you did not say anything more, he giggled nervously.
“Would you, uh, like some cheese with those?” he said.
“Nope,” you said. “I’m really the biggest fan of plain crackers. That’s all I want.”
“Sure, miss, if that’s what you’d like,” he said. “So, one steak, one sandwich, and a plate of crackers?”
“That’s right,” Sae said, hardly looking up from his phone when he did so. It was only once the waiter had run off to place your orders that he put the device away, resting his elbows against the table, setting his chin in his hands and giving you a bored look. “Why are you glaring at me?”
“Steak and a sandwich, really?” you said.
“A conversation with you was more than enough to increase my appetite,” he said. “Forget about that. This is the part where you ask me questions about myself and I pretend like I am interested enough to answer them.”
“Why would I do that?” you said, rolling your eyes at him. “Actually, I’m pretty sure your answer to that question will be something that makes me even more annoyed than I already am, so don’t bother. What’s your favorite movie?”
“You’re not going to ask me about soccer?” he said. “It’s Taxi Driver, by the way.”
“I don’t know that much about soccer, so what would I even ask? Based on what I’ve seen from the matches my brother and dad watch, it’s just a bunch of sweaty guys kicking around a ball and pretending like they’re dying whenever another player happens to look at them the wrong way,” you said. “Oh, actually, I am curious about that. How many of those injuries are real? Have you ever faked getting hurt?”
“Almost none of them,” he said. “Generally, players will overreact for the sake of entertainment and the possibility of the opposition receiving yellow cards. I’ve never needed to do anything like that, and I never want to, because it looks stupid. Also, soccer is more than that mediocre description you just gave me.”
“Yeah, yeah, whatever you say,” you said. “Man kick ball. Ball go in net. Man happy. That’s the extent of it.”
“Women play soccer, too,” he said.
“It’s the same concept there, but with women instead of men. Not the argument you thought it was,” you said.
“I can’t believe you actually dislike soccer,” he said.
There was definitely some irony in the fact that you couldn’t care less about his chosen sport, and yet you were the one who had somehow finagled your way into eating with him — even if you were the one who was paying. There were so many people who’d do anything to be in your place, but to you, it was a begrudging chore that you were only performing because you felt obligated to. Mentally, you had already marked the entire encounter down as something that you’d laugh about to your friends later; a fun story you’d tell at parties, but little else.
“Like I told you earlier, I’m the older sister. If I didn’t rag on my brother’s interests, then I couldn’t claim that title in any way that mattered,” you said. Sae’s eyes flicked down to the ground.
“You should be nice to your brother when you can,” he said.
“Are you some kind of an only child or saint, then? There’s no way you’re saying that if you have a normal relationship with any possible siblings,” you said.
“I have a little brother,” he said. “Our relationship is okay. I haven’t seen him in a while, though.”
“Long distance?” you said, reaching over to pat him on the hand sympathetically. “That’s the worst. I miss my friends and my pets already, and I’m only here for vacation.”
He snatched his hand away. “You make it sound like we’re dating or something. It’s alright. I’m sure it’ll be the same as it was whenever I go back.”
“True, it’s not like he can dump you and find a new brother who’s both better and more conveniently located than you are. He’s kind of stuck with you forever,” you said.
“Enough about my brother,” he said. “Let’s talk about something else.”
“Okay,” you said. “What TV shows do you watch when you’re bored?”
The two of you continued on in that mindless manner until your food arrived. Your mood, which had steadily been rising as Sae proved himself to be, if nothing else, a willing conversationalist, rapidly plummeted as the waiter set the steak and sandwich in front of Sae and the crackers in front of you.
“Enjoy your meal,” the waiter said.
“I’m sure one of us will,” you said, picking up a cracker and biting into it rebelliously. Sae began to cut his steak into small pieces, using his fork to demurely place the meat on his tongue, doing nothing to disguise the indulgence of eating such a wonderfully prepared meal while you were stuck with crackers.
“What a shame,” Sae said when he was about halfway through his steak. You hadn’t spoken since the food had come, mostly because you were too busy fervently hoping that he would choke and you would somehow be awarded a free meal as an apology on the restaurant’s part, so you jumped at the sound of his voice cutting through the silence. “My eyes were bigger than my stomach. I don’t think I’ll be able to eat that sandwich after all.”
“We should send it back, then,” you said.
“What sort of place do you think this is?” he said. “It’s already been ordered, so it’s ours now.”
“Are you serious?” you said. “What now? I’ll have to pay for something that you didn’t even eat!”
“You’ll just have to have it,” he said.
“Me?” you said, already salivating at the delectable sandwich, the bread which was taunting you. Come, it seemed to be calling out to you. Eat me. You know you want to. “I guess that’s a sensible prospect. Someone’s going to have to take it.”
“Someone will,” he agreed, sliding the plate across the table and stealing a cracker for his troubles. “It might as well be you. My coach will be pretty upset if I get stomach cramps next season because I overate too much on my off time. I’d have to tell him that it was your fault, and then you’d have all of Re Al after you, and you don’t want that. They’re relentless.”
Your fingers inched towards the sandwich. “I definitely don’t. That sounds scary.”
“It would be amusing,” he said. “A waste of resources, though. They might cut my salary to make up for it. ”
“Then the only solution is for me to eat this sandwich,” you said.
“Essentially,” he said. You gave in, taking an enormous bite of the tantalizing sandwich and exhaling in delight. It really was as good as the exorbitant price tag claimed it would be, and although you would never buy such a thing for yourself, you found that you were a little more grateful for the series of events that had led you to be in this position now that your stomach was finally being greeted with something substantial.
“It’s good,” you said, your words muffled by the napkin you held in front of your mouth as you finished chewing. “I can kind of get why they charge so much now. It’s still way more than any sandwich should ever cost, ever, but…I kinda get it. Is your food good, too?”
“It is,” he said.
“Alright!” you said, giving him a double thumbs up. “Then you can consider this a worthy apology! Let’s finish eating and be done with the entire mess.”
“Hm? But how can it be a worthy apology when I’m the one who paid for everything? To me, that doesn’t sound like an apology at all,” he said. You froze, your mouth wide open, the sandwich still halfway to your mouth and drooping in your hands. Sae looked at you, still expressionless, though if you really focused, you would’ve noticed something like mirth dancing in his irises.
“What do you mean?” you said. He unlocked his phone and showed you his screen.
“You can pay by app here,” he said. “I did it as soon as we were done ordering. I was going to tell you after you ordered what you wanted for yourself, but I wasn’t expecting you to be so frugal that you’d really only order crackers!”
“But — but I was supposed to pay! To apologize for—”
“You don’t have to say it,” Sae said sourly, cutting you off. “Believe me, I remember exactly what you have to apologize for, and I’m not going to forget. I just paid this time because I was feeling generous, but you still owe me.”
It was a little suspicious, but you didn’t have any reason to accuse him of anything, so you only narrowed your eyes at him. Taking another bite of your sandwich, you mulled over the latest reveal. He was paying for the entire lunch? You still owed him? You could manipulate that in your favor, then.
“Tomorrow morning, I’ll pay for your breakfast,” you said. “The hotel I’m staying at has complimentary breakfast for guests, but outsiders can eat for a certain fee. I’ll pay for your entrance, and then we can be even.”
“Sure,” he said. “I eat breakfast early, though.”
“How early?” you said.
“I have a snack at 7:00 a.m., before I go for my morning run, and then I eat a proper meal afterwards,” he said.
“Oh!” you said. “Any chance you could not do that?”
“It’s part of my training regimen,” he said. “How about you pay for my food and come on my run with me?”
“I hate running,” you said.
“You’re apologizing. It’s supposed to be an agonizing process,” he said. “You’ve called me short and ugly at least three separate times already, not to mention the entire slamming into me ordeal. It’s really the least you can do.”
“7:00 it is,” you said, though you were fighting back tears at the mere thought of getting up so early while on vacation. “Give me your phone.”
“No way,” he said, holding the phone away from you while you tried to swipe at it. “What are you going to do, post something embarrassing on my social media accounts?”
“Why would I do that?” you said. “I was going to text myself so I had your number and could send you my location for tomorrow.”
“Or you could tell me which hotel you’re staying at now, and then my phone is entirely removed from the equation,” he suggested.
“Do you think I remember the name?” you said. “That’s a rhetorical question, by the way. I don’t.”
He handed you his phone with an aggravated huff. “Fine. Don’t abuse the privilege. I only give important people my contact information.”
“Woah, you really are stingy,” you said, scrolling through his contacts list. All of them either had the designation of work attached to their profiles, or they were clearly members of Sae’s family.
Clicking on the plus sign in the corner, you created a new contact for yourself, typing in your number and giving yourself the name Y/N L/N — sandwich. It fit the naming conventions he had going on, and if it weren’t for the reminder that you were the so-called ‘sandwich girl’, you doubted he would remember who you were in the first place.
“Of course I am. Imagine I gave every crazy fan I met my number. I’d have a million stalkers before you could say Re Al,”he said.
“I’m not a crazy fan. To clarify, I’m not a fan in the first place,” you said, texting yourself from his number before taking out your own phone and responding to the message with a thumbs up.
“Correct, which is why you get my number,” he said.
“I feel so honored,” you said dryly. “Actually, you know what? I would feel honored, if it weren’t for the fact that you’re only giving it to me because you want to wake me up at an unholy hour and make me run with you before paying for your breakfast.”
“Would you rather pay for this meal?” he said, showing you the receipt he had been emailed. Your eyes widened, and then you shook your head rapidly.
“Nope! See you tomorrow!”
The next morning, you tiptoed around the hotel room as you got ready, trying your best not to wake your mother up. She, and the rest of your family, had been up late last night, going out for dinner and dessert well past your bedtime. Far too embarrassed to tell them the realreason you were going to sleep early, you had said you were sick and went to bed as soon as the sun set.
Angrily gnawing on a granola bar from your mother’s emergency stash, you stomped down the spiraling hotel staircase, your eyes still bleary as you texted your family group chat that you were going out for a morning walk but would be back for breakfast.
Sae Itoshi was waiting for you in the lobby, doing some weird stretching routine that involved pressing his foot against the wall and leaning over it. You watched him, bemused, wondering which muscles he was trying to stretch before giving up and deciding it was probably one of those pro moves that you were too uninterested and unathletic for.
“Oh, you’re here,” he said. “Good morning.”
“Good morning,” you said, giving him another one of the granola bars you had taken from your mother’s backpack. “Sorry, it’s sort of smushed. It’s been in a backpack for the last few days.”
He pinched the wrapper between his forefinger and thumb, looking at the granola bar with a disgusted expression. You didn’t think it was thategregious, but according to Sae, it must have been all but an offense against humanity, as he tossed it into the trash can within seconds of having it within his grasp.
“I already ate my snack,” he said.
“Why did you throw that away? I could’ve eaten it!” you said.
“That thing had probably melted and reformed at least twice. It was most definitely radioactive. I did you a favor, so you should say thank you,” he said.
“Thank you, Mr. Itoshi, for protecting me from the horrors of a slightly misshapen granola bar. I’m sure that, by throwing away that still edible brick of deliciousness, you have done me a great service. Possibly, you have even saved my life. I am eternally grateful,” you said.
He snorted. “You’re terrible at groveling. No wonder you have to do all of this ridiculous stuff to apologize to me instead of just saying sorry and moving on like a normal person.”
“Look, it’s a product of my upbringing,” you said. He finished stretching and headed out of the door; you followed after him with a smile at the hotel concierge, who seemed surprised to watch you go — whether it was the hour or your company, you weren’t sure. “Whenever my parents did something to upset me, they never apologized. They just came to my room with a bowl of fruit they had cut for me.”
“At least you got fruit,” he said. “My parents just told me to go practice soccer until I had cooled off.”
“Wow, really? That’s hardcore,” you said. Sae began to jog, and you did the same, though it was closer to a run for you than anything. “Did you just kick around the ball until you were less mad?”
“Pretty much,” he said.
“How horrible,” you said.
“Eh, it’s fine. It was a good way to get my anger out, and it had the added benefit of making me better at the sport, so it was pretty constructive overall,” he said.
“I still can’t imagine it,” you said, shaking your head. “What’s it like, being a professional athlete? Your entire life revolves around a game. What about when you can’t play anymore? When you’re too old, or if you get injured?”
His upper lip curled. “Do you want that to happen or something? Why are you speaking it into existence?”
“Not the injury part, but everyone grows old. You can’t stop that,” you said.
“I’ll play for as long as I can, and then I’ll coach for longer,” he said. “After that, I’ll retire and make sure my kids follow in my footsteps. Athletes make a lot of money, so I luckily won’t ever have to worry much about my finances.”
“What if your kids don’t want to play soccer?” you said. He actually sneered this time, the expression at home on his cold face.
“What else would they do with themselves? If they don’t want to play soccer, or if they have no talent at it, then they’re definitely not my children in the first place,” he said.
“Hm, maybe cooking? What if they want to be a chef?” you said.
“Then I’d wonder how your kids snuck into my house,” he said. You gasped, though it was as much for breath as it was out of offense.
“Stop it! You just happened to catch me at a hungry time!” you said.
“Sure,” he said.
“Just entertain the hypothetical that you really did somehow father children that were into cooking instead of soccer. How would you react?” you said.
“I would put them up for adoption,” he said.
“Seriously?” you said.
“No, obviously not,” he said. “What kind of person do you think I am? Why did you actually find that to be within the realm of possibility?”
“I think you’re some kind of soccer fiend. Who knows how dedicated you are to the cause?” you said.
“Not that dedicated,” he said. “I’d be disappointed if my kids can’t play soccer, and our relationship would probably be a bit distant, as I don’t know much about anything else, but I wouldn’t disown them.”
“You don’t know much about anything besides soccer? That’s a little sad,” you said.
“Kind of,” he said.
“Do you wish you knew about other things?” you said.
“Everyone has something they specialize in. It’s not uncommon for someone to know a lot about one thing and only a little about others,” he said. “My ‘thing’ is soccer. If it wasn’t that, then it’d be something else, so if I was in the business of wishing, I’d always be unsatisfied.”
You were already panting for breath when Sae picked up the pace, though he had not so much as broken a sweat yet. He glanced at you out of the corner of his eye, taking in your obvious struggles, and then he made the decision to not slow down at all.
“I get it,” you said. “You’ll face no judgment from me.”
“Like I would care if you did judge me,” he said. “You’re already dying, and we haven’t even started running yet.”
“This isn’t running?” you said. “What the hell? How much faster can you even go?”
“If you think that this is anywhere near the pace of an average soccer match, then I don’t even know where to begin with you,” he said.
“You look slower on TV!”
“What, so you think I’m slow, too?”
You and Sae returned to the hotel in markedly different conditions. He wasn’t even warm, still appearing to be perfectly put together and entirely perspiration-free, smelling faintly like body soap and cologne. On the other hand, you were still trying to regain your wits about you, leaning on his shoulder so that you did not fall over from exhaustion.
“This is embarrassing for you,” he informed you as you walked towards the breakfast area.
“You’re a professional athlete and I’m a normal girl! It would be embarrassing for you if I could keep up!” you argued weakly.
“That would be true, if I wasn’t going easy on you,” he said, pulling out a chair for you and helping you into it, brushing his arm off when he was sure you were seated. “I’m going to go to the bathroom. Be right back.”
“Have fun,” you said, resting your head in your hands, already knowing what you wanted to get. “We can walk through the buffet together. I’ll take the time to recover.”
“You do that,” he said.
While he was gone, you opened your phone, catching up on all of the texts in the family group chat that you hadn’t been able to read while you were attempting to run with Sae.
me: going for a morning walk but i’ll be back for breakfast
me: just wanted to let you all know so you weren’t worried!
uglier sibling: yeah nobody was worried LMFAO
mom: Hope you’re feeling better, honey!
dad: Make sure you’re back before 10. That’s when the complimentary breakfast ends, and we’re not paying for overpriced toast with jam.
uglier sibling: i still can’t believe u went for a morning walk
uglier sibling: like
uglier sibling: since when do u voluntarily wake up in the mornings at all let alone leave ur bed LET ALONE TAKE A WALK
uglier sibling: bitches will meet sae itoshi one time and suddenly they’re fitness influencers or wtvr
uglier sibling: btw i’m still mad that u didn’t get his autograph or a photo with him or anything
uglier sibling: i bet u made it up
uglier sibling: LIAR. FRAUD. HACK.
mom: Honey, leave your sister alone. Why would she make something like that up? 
dad: Your mother is right. Y/N doesn’t even know who Sae Itoshi is.
So it was a typical conversation, then. You hadn’t missed much; just your brother being salty and your parents showing some care for your well-being, as well as your father worrying for his wallet like he was prone to do. You didn’t even bother responding, just liking your father’s two messages and then putting your phone away.
“Y/N, you’re back already? What good timing!” your father called out to you from the entrance to the hotel restaurant. The world slowed as you turned to see the rest of your family walking into the restaurant, dressed in their typical touristy outfits. Your mother waved at you, and your brother faked gagging.
“Wow, you look like shit,” he said. “The fuck kinda morning walk were you on?”
“Gross, it’s you,” you said. “Go away! I’m busy.”
“You don’t even have any food with you,” he pointed out. “Can I sit with you? The parents are way too chipper in the mornings.”
“No!” you said.
“But there’s an empty seat at your table. Are you saving it for someone?” he said.
“Yes,” you said, wishing that for once they would’ve all slept in instead of getting here at the exact time that you and Sae had.
“No, you’re not,” he said.
“Come on, you two, let’s sit together and have a family breakfast!” your father said, motioning you and your brother over from where he and your mother had settled at a four-person table. Your brother gave you a pleading look.
“I’ll owe you forever,” he said. “I’ll grind on all of your video games for you the entire plane ride home!”
“I’m not lying, dude, I actually am sitting with someone. Now fuck off and leave me alone!” you hissed.
“Who?” he said, crossing his arms. “Your imaginary friend? Or your imaginary boyfriend!”
“Excuse me? Sorry, I was sitting there. Do you mind—?”
The most comical expression you had ever seen flashed over your brother’s face just then. It was horror mixed with incredulity mixed with extreme confusion. He turned slowly, his jaw dropping as he made eye contact with Sae Itoshi, whose dry countenance and perfect posture were as off-putting as ever.
“What?” your brother said. “What is going on?”
Sae sat opposite you. “This hotel has the most confusing first floor layout I’ve ever encountered. It took me ages just to find the bathroom.”
“There’s signs. Can you not read?” you said. He stared at you dully.
“I can read. I just happened not to look up at them,” he said.
“If I didn’t want to pay for even more food, I’d make another short joke, but I shall refrain,” you said.
“That was cutting it close,” he said.
“Y/N. My beautiful, amazing, wonderful older sister,” your brother said.
“Yes?” you said, preparing yourself for the incoming explosion. “Also, that’s not what you were calling me in the group chat earlier, was it?”
“Is that Sae Itoshi?” he said.
“Liar, fraud, hack, was that what it was?” you said. “Run along, loser. Maybe if you were nicer to me, I’d let you sit with us.”
Your brother opened his mouth to argue, but then, like he had remembered he was standing in front of his idol, he hung his head and trudged off, scuffing his toes against the floor as he did and giving you a betrayed look over his shoulder.
“That’s your little brother?” Sae said.
“Yup,” you said. “Your self-proclaimed biggest fan.”
“And you made him go sit with your parents instead of talking to me? You’re super mean, big sister,” Sae said.
“He wouldn’t shut up if I let him stay here, and considering the goal of this is for you to eat and then leave me alone for the rest of my vacation, that would not be conducive,” you said.
“I see,” he said. “I didn’t realize that was the goal.”
“Isn’t it yours, as well? I’m sure you’d like to enjoy yourself on your time off from soccer,” you said.
“Who says I’m not enjoying myself?” he said. You furrowed your brow at him.
“You’ve had the same expression on your face every time we’ve spoken,” you pointed out, lowering your eyelids and pursing your lips in an imitation of his resting mien. “Like this. It’s totally amphibious.”
“Amphibious?” he repeated. “What does that even mean?”
“You don’t know what amphibious means? Man, when you said you only focused on soccer, I didn’t think it was this bad!” you said.
“I know what amphibious means! I just don’t see how the word applies,” he said.
“Oh, right. Well, you kind of look like the frog emoji,” you said. “Sorry, I could’ve been clearer. That’s my bad.”
“Were you dropped on the head as a baby? I’m asking this from a place of concern, not anger,” Sae said. “It’s because you say so many nonsensical things. After all, I look nothing like the frog emoji.”
“Sure, and people tell me I look like a famous actress,” you said.
“Really?” he said.
“No, I thought we were both saying things that aren’t true,” you said.
“I think you look like a famous actress,” he said. “There. Now we’re both saying things that are true.”
“Well done, Mr. Itoshi! That was clever,” you said, knowing when to concede.
“Thank you,” he said. “Let’s go get our food now. If you die of starvation on my watch, it’ll be a major scandal for Re Al.”
“Your manager must love you,” you said. “So conscientious of your public image.”
“Nope, he’s usually pretty pissed at me,” he said as the two of you got in the buffet line.
“What for?” you said.
“Contrary to what you think, I’m pretty unconcerned with my public image. I’m a soccer player, not some kind of philanthropist or actor or whatever,” he said. “What does it matter if I offend people? My value is in playing well, not being friendly or kind.”
“No one ever accused you of being either of those two,” you said, spreading butter and jam over your toast. “You’re not that bad, though.”
“You’re not that bad, either,” he said. “At least, you’re better company than my manager.”
“I’ll take it as a compliment,” you said. He scoffed.
“You have low standards,” he said.
“Yours are lower,” you said.
“Very mature response.”
“Thanks!”
Sae was a pretty agreeable breakfast partner. He wasn’t as impossibly cheerful as your parents, who generally drove you crazy with their talkativeness so early in the day, but he also wasn’t as silent and closed off as your brother, who was prone to snapping at others until he had finished at least half of his meal. As with lunch yesterday, it was almost an enjoyable experience, right up until you remembered whose card he was eating on.
“Where are you going?” he said when your plates had been cleared and you had pushed yourself to your feet. He followed after you as you made your way to the hostess’s station, ignoring the whispers that echoed behind the two of you.
“To pay for you to be here, duh,” you said, fishing around in your purse for your wallet. “I know you’re famous and all, but that doesn’t mean you get to eat for free. In fact, that was kind of the point of the meal.”
“I already paid for myself, so you can go and sit back down with your family if you’d like,” he said.
“What? When?” you said.
“I wouldn’t spend that long in a bathroom,” he said. “Not a public one.”
“You little—! Now what?” you said.
“Now you have to see me tomorrow,” he said. “Bye. I’ll pick you up for dinner, so make sure to wear something nice, and bring your credit card. It’s your treat.”
He walked off with a jaunty wave, leaving you standing there, confounded by the development. He had paid for himself again? What was the point of making you take him places if he was just going to cough up the cash himself anyways?
“Psst. Y/N,” your brother said. You weren’t sure when or where he had appeared, but it remained that he was suddenly tapping you on the shoulder and whispering in your ear. “Does Sae Itoshi have a crush on you? If so, please ask if he can get tickets for dad and I to attend his next game.”
“What?” you said, a shockwave running through your entire body at the mere thought of Sae having a crush on you. It was so juvenile and cliched as to be out of Sae’s character entirely. “No! I just owe him.”
“For what?” your brother said.
“I ran into him, called him ugly, and said that he was short,” you said. “Indirectly, of course, but it still happened. I was supposed to buy him lunch yesterday as an apology, but then he ended up paying for us both, and then today, I went on a run with him, and I was going to pay for him to have breakfast here, but guess what?”
“He paid for himself?” your brother said.
“He paid for — yeah, how did you know?” you said.
“There weren’t that many ways the story could’ve gone. Also, I overheard you guys talking,” he said.
“Creep,” you said.
“Weirdo,” he said.
“Freak,” you said.
“Stupid,” he said. “I bet he has a crush on you.”
“Why would he? We have zero common interests, and I’ve mostly only insulted him in our very short time knowing one another,” you said.
“Maybe he’s into that. Some guys are. My one friend is — actually, I’m not exposing him like that,” he said.
“Thank you, because I really didn’t want to know,” you said.
“Anyways, where I was going with that is some guys like girls who humble them a bit. Especially someone like Sae Itoshi; he’s probably so used to people falling all over themselves to get his attention that it’s nice for him to hang out with someone who’s too oblivious to care about that kind of stuff,” he said.
“People like you?” you said. “I told him you were his biggest fan, just so you know.”
“Why would you do that?” your brother said, his eyes bugging out and his mouth forming a pained grimace. “He probably thinks I’m a nerd now!”
“You do it to yourself, buddy,” you said. “Let’s go. It looks like the parents want us to go sit with them. Think you can handle it?”
“After learning that my hero has a crush on my sister and, furthermore, probably thinks of me as some kind of dweeb, I can handle anything,” he said.
The entire day, you pondered your brother’s words. Did Sae have a crush on you? Running through his actions and every conversation you both had ever had led you to think that he did not. It didn’t seem like he liked you very much in even a platonic sense, so how could anyone begin to think he liked you romantically? It was just tolerance for the sake of his pride, that was all.
And you definitely didn’t like him. He was emotionless and conceited and teased you far too often. What did it matter that he was somewhat attractive? He had a terrible personality, and you bet that if more of his fans knew what he was like, he wouldn’t have any to begin with.
No wonder Sae’s manager hated him. He was probably a jerk to his poor employees, too.
“We’re thinking of going here for dinner tonight,” your father said the next day. “Look, their reviews are pretty high, and their prices aren’t crazy. What does everyone think?”
“I’m fine with anything,” your mother said.
“Same here,” your brother said.
“Y/N?” your father said. You were about to respond when your own phone buzzed. You knew exactly who it was texting you, and you sighed as you opened it.
sae itoshi (dumb haircut): I will be there in one hour.
sae itoshi (dumb haircut): You better not have forgotten about our plans for tonight.
sae itoshi (dumb haircut): I made a reservation, so I’ll really be mad if you stand me up.
sae itoshi (dumb haircut): Especially because you’re paying.
me: I WILL BE THERE OMFG STOP TEXTING ME
sae itoshi (dumb haircut): Okay.
“I can’t,” you said.
“Why not? Are you on some new diet or something? They should have vegetarian options, so that won’t be a problem,” your father said. “We can look at their menu beforehand if you prefer, and if you really don’t like anything, then we can find somewhere else.”
“I already have plans,” you said, your lower lip jutting out childishly. “Not that I want to! But I made a promise.”
“You already have plans? What’s that supposed to mean?” your mother said.
“I’m having dinner with someone,” you said.
“Ooh, how exciting! With who?” she said.
“I bet I can guess!” your brother sang.
“Enough out of you!” you said, kicking him in the back of the leg. He doubled over, though that did not stop him from smirking at you.
“Y/N and Sae, sitting in a tree! K-I-S-S-I-N-G!” he said.
“You’re going out with Sae Itoshi?” your father said. “You should’ve just said so! That’s perfectly alright, honey. Actually, he’s the one man I’m not upset about you dating!”
“We are not dating!” you said. “It’s a more transactional relationship than that. No feelings involved. It’s just me apologizing to him.”
“Are you close enough to him to get an autograph for your brother and I?” your dad said.
“Um.” You thought about it. Would Sae give you an autograph for them? You weren’t sure. There was a chance he would, but there was also a high chance he would not. “I dunno. I can ask.”
“You’ll ask for dad, but not for me? Wow, I see how it is,” your brother said.
“Yeah, because you’re annoying!” you said. “Ugh. I have to get ready now. He’ll be here to get me in an hour. Have fun at dinner, all of you. Keep me in your thoughts and prayers.”
“You have fun as well,” your mother said. “Make sure not to bring any money with you. Gentlemen should always pay on the first date.”
“I’ll be sure to tell him that,” you said, giving up on explaining things to your family for the sake of your sanity.
Sae was aggressively punctual. Exactly an hour after he had texted you, a shiny black car was pulling up in the valet lane, and a tall, bald man in a suit was opening the door for you. You climbed in awkwardly, finding Sae to be sitting on the other side, gazing out of the window pensively.
“Hello,” you said, smoothing your dress and buckling your seatbelt. “You have a driver?”
“Of course I do,” he said. “I usually walk places when I’m on vacation, but this restaurant is kind of far, so I thought it’d be more prudent to have the driver take us.”
“I see,” you said. “Thank you, driver, sir.”
The driver hummed in acknowledgement but did not say anything else. You supposed he probably wasn’t used to talking with his passengers; you doubted Sae ever spoke to him much.
“It’s been so hot out recently,” Sae said stiffly.
“That’s what happens during the summer, yes,” you said.
“That’s true,” he said.
“You’re right, though,” you said. “It has been hot.”
“Super hot,” he said.
“Yes,” you said. “Super hot.”
That must’ve been why there was a slight redness to his cheeks. There was definitely no other reason. And there wasn’t any other reason for why you felt uncomfortably warm, shifting in your seat to dissipate the feeling in your stomach. It was the temperature. That was all.
Given the trend, you really should have anticipated it when Sae paid for your dinner while you were freshening up in the bathroom, but you really had not seen it coming in the slightest. He scrunched up his face when you argued, simply telling you that he would see you tomorrow before dropping you back off at your hotel, the receipt in your hand, his flourishing signature scrawled across the back.
“For your brother,” he had said, handing it to you before you could even ask him for his autograph. “You said he was a fan, right? I’ll get him a better one later, but for now, this should do.”
You spent every day of the rest of that vacation with Sae Itoshi. Some days, you would accompany him on a morning walk — he had softened to slowing his pace, so that he was only barely jogging instead of the full on run that he had forced you into that first time — and on others, the two of you would have some meal or another together. The common theme was that, if there was money involved, he would take care of it. Without question, without hesitation, he always slapped your hand back and pulled out his own credit card, telling you that now you both had to meet again, and the next time you really would be the one paying, or else he’d never be able to forgive you for your terrible behavior.
Your parents and brother complained about it at first, as your new friendship with Sae — could it be considered a friendship, or was it something else? — meant you did not see them much on what was supposed to be a family vacation.
You brought it up with Sae, and he responded with something about how it wouldn’t have been a problem at all if you weren’t such a freeloader and actually paid for him, like you were supposed to. This resulted in a lighthearted squabble between you both, which in turn made you forget your family’s whining, and as well you should have. You could take a million more vacations with them, but you’d likely never get a chance to hang out with Sae Itoshi again, so why wouldn’t you take advantage of it when you could?
Sae didn’t forget, though. He sent you back from dinner the next evening with a soccer ball he had won in one of his games, his signature and a note of gratitude scribbled on it in black marker.
Thank you for letting me borrow your daughter and sister from you while you’re on your trip. I really appreciate it, even if she doesn’t know anything about soccer. — Sae Itoshi
They stopped complaining after that. The ball became your brother’s most prized possession, and every day, your father would tell you how happy he was that you had made such a considerate friend.
“And you know, if you ever want to date him,” he’d say, elbowing you in the side with an obnoxious wink. “We wouldn’t be opposed!”
Your mother was in the same boat. “He really cares about you, I think. Enough that he gave your family something so precious just because he thought we didn’t like him. You could do a lot worse than that.”
“Plus, he’s rich and famous!” your brother would chime in without fail. “Double win!”
“You guys are all nuts,” you’d tell them, shaking your head to disguise how pleased the thought of dating Sae made you.
It could never happen. Like your brother was so happy to remind you, he was rich and famous, an athlete that was adored worldwide and played for the best soccer club in history. He could have any girl he wanted, so why would he ever choose you? You and he were from two different planes of existence. Maybe you could pretend for a little bit that you weren’t, but the date for your eventual departure from Spain was drawing closer and closer, and that day meant the certain end of the fever dream that was your closeness with Sae.
You had been prepared from the start for it to finish in this way. You would go home and tell all of your friends about your trip, how you had spent almost every day with the famous soccer player Sae Itoshi, how he had given you his phone number and made you go on runs with him, how together, you and him had eaten lunch and dinner and breakfast and several meals that you were convinced he had just made up to have an excuse to buy food for the two of you — brunch, linner, midnight snacks and third desserts.
There were other things that you wouldn’t tell them, too, things that Sae had not necessarily said to you in confidence but which you sensed were held close to his heart and which you would therefore hold close to yours. His little brother was named Rin, and they had the same eyes, though Rin’s were quicker to water and perpetually had hair falling into them. He still watched the same shows he used to when he was very small, because they reminded him of his parents’ home. He thought that a person’s athletic potential could be determined by the shape of their butt, but he tended to avoid looking as a form of respect for others.
“That’s a pretty cool skill, Sae! What do you think my athletic potential is?” you had asked when he had revealed that last fact.
“If it’s possible for a person to have negative potential, then that’s about what yours is. If it’s not, then you’re definitely at a zero,” he had responded.
“You didn’t even look,” you had said, shoving a French fry into his mouth as punishment. He hated French fries for how unhealthy they were, and you had half-expected him to lecture you about fats and oils and salts, but instead, he had dutifully chewed and swallowed without any theatrics.
“Don’t need to, and don’t plan to,” he had said, and that was that. “I’ve already seen you run, and that told me all I needed to know about your athletic skills. Or, in this case, your lack thereof.”
If you took his words at face value, then you would’ve thought he truly hated you. He never missed a chance to make fun of you, and you were the same way — certainly, anyone who overheard your conversations would’ve been convinced that you and he were bitter enemies. But that was because they didn’t see the way he always positioned himself on the sidewalk so that he was between you and the oncoming traffic. They didn’t see the way he’d pull out your chair and only pretend to frown when you’d thank him for it. They didn’t see the way his ears would turn pink if you dared to smile in his direction or, heaven forbid, agreed with what he was saying instead of arguing, as was your go-to.
No, you were pretty confident that Sae Itoshi did not hate you. It was just that soccer was his thing and all other areas were beyond him, areas which included such fields as emotional awareness and sensitivity.
Maybe you might tell the friends you were particularly close to about that. Sae Itoshi treated me pretty well, you’d say, with grand, sweeping hand motions to emphasize the point. As well as he knew how to, which was well enough for me. If I ever get a boyfriend, they’ll have a lot to live up to. Seems kind of unfair to whatever poor schmuck gets stuck with the task, don’t you think? Considering the two of us never even dated…
“I'm going home tomorrow morning,” you said. The sun was setting, and the two of you were walking along the same stretch of beach that you had first met at. “I finished packing all of my things before dinner. It’s surreal, almost. I feel like an entirely different person now, compared to when I came here.”
“Is that so?” he said, the corners of his lips twitching slightly. “I wonder why.”
“Did you just smile?” you said. Immediately, he scowled.
“No way,” he said. “I’d never smile because of something you said.”
“Uh-huh, uh-huh, you definitely smiled. I made you smile! I made you smile! I made you smile!” you said, poking him in the cheek repeatedly. Sae’s expressions were so subtle that it was easy to overlook them before they had vanished, but there was no overlooking what you had just seen. He had definitely smiled at you, or at least he had been about to.
“Stop poking me,” he grumbled.
“No,” you said, poking him again. “Only if you smile again.”
“Hell no,” he said. You poked his cheek again. “Y/N. Stop it.”
“Will you miss me?” you said.
“Not if you don’t quit that!” he said, grabbing your wrist when you prepared to poke him again. Heat rose to your cheeks at the way his thumb rested against your pulse, and when he realized he was holding your hand so familiarly, his own cheeks flushed. “No. I won’t.”
“I’ll miss you,” you said, digging your feet into the sand, turning out to the sea because you couldn’t stand to look at him when you were being so vulnerable. “I’ll tell everyone I know about you, of course, but it won’t be the same. Something funny will happen, and I’ll think to myself, oh, Sae would’ve snorted at that — but not laughed, because you don’t laugh. Or I’ll order shitty French fries, and it’ll remind me of how much you’d scold me for eating them. You’d say something like, those are basically heart attacks in a box, and then you’d pour a bottle of salted kombucha down my throat to cleanse my system.”
Somewhere in the distance, a seagull squawked, reminding you of the fateful encounter from so long ago. You wished you could go back and get to know Sae all over again. You wished you could ask him the same questions and not know the answers, so that you were surprised when he told them to you. You wished you could argue with him for a little bit longer. You wished that, one more time, you could imply he was short and ugly and slow and a thousand other rude adjectives, even if he was really none of those things, none of them at all.
“I’m going to ask you one last question, okay?” you said. “Please think over your answer carefully. It’s important.”
“Okay,” he said, uncharacteristically gently. “I’ll really consider it well.”
“What’s your favorite animal?” you said.
“Seagulls,” he said immediately, directly contradicting his solemn oath. You laughed at this, burying your face in your hands to hide the hitch in your throat.
“You traitor,” you said. “You know all about the feud between seagulls and I, and yet you’re still claiming they’re your favorites?”
“They always have been,” he said. “I like migratory birds, how they don’t stay in one place but are always moving around. It must be such a blissful life.”
“But it’s probably pretty lonely, too,” you said. “They don’t have anywhere to call home.”
“I like lonely things,” he said. “That’s why the end of the summer is my favorite season.”
“Hm,” you said. “Then, if I tell you that I’ll be lonely once I leave here, will you like me, too?”
He looked at you, but you stared resolutely ahead, your gaze trained on the horizon, the way his had been on the day you had run into him. It was such a kiddish question, and internally, you were beating yourself up for asking it, but deep down, you wanted to know, so you did not move to retract it.
“Well, I like seagulls for a different reason now,” he said.
So that was your answer, then. The waves crashed against the shore, and a balmy wind blew through your hair and clothes, carrying the light scent of Sae’s cologne to your nose, the same one he had worn for as long as you could remember.
“I understand,” you said.
“These days, it’s a specific seagull I’m fond of, actually,” he said.
“Huh? Like a breed or something?” you said.
“No, just one bird in particular,” he said. “It did me a really huge favor recently.”
“What are you talking about? You always say that you suspect I was dropped on the head as a baby, but between the two of us, I think the one that was dropped was you,” you said, the fraying ends of your rejected feelings driving you to irascibility.
“A while ago, I was standing on the beach, feeling pretty annoyed with the world — as usual,” he said. “I had had to run from the paparazzi in order to go on this vacation without being bothered, you know, and I honestly was starting to question if I’d ever be seen as a normal person. I get that the only thing I’m good at is soccer, but it’s pretty tiring to be thought of as a guy who kicks balls around and nothing more.”
Unbidden, you inhaled sharply, because the story was starting to sound familiar. Spinning on your heel, you were met with the sight of Sae smiling shyly, peering down at you through his unfairly long eyelashes.
“That seagull must’ve known how I was feeling. There’s no other explanation for it all. It must’ve known how I was feeling, and somehow, it managed to find the one person in the entire world that saw me as something other than that. Do you know what it did next? It stole that person’s sandwich, and it led her right to me,” he said.
“Are you talking about me?” you said.
“How many people do you think have called me a short, ugly, D-list celebrity instead of asking for my autograph upon meeting me?” he said.
“Probably not very many,” you said. He chuckled.
“Probably not any,” he said. You rested your forehead against his shoulder.
“Probably not,” you said. He stroked your hair, though his motions were like a marionette’s — he was not very used to this type of relationship, after all. But he was trying his best, and you found that to be far more endearing than any suave gestures might’ve been.
“I know you have to go soon, so I was planning on not saying anything,” he said. “What would be the point? I figured this was just a summer fling for you. But then you had to go and be all sentimental, and I had to say something.”
“I’m glad you did,” you said. “It would’ve been worse if I had returned home without knowing at all. Where do we go from here, though?”
“Where do we go from here? Let me think. Well, I’ll ask you to be my girlfriend,” he said. “And you’ll say yes, because who would ever reject me? Then we’ll talk on the phone every day, and you can send me photos of things you find funny, and I’ll have a sixth sense for when you’re eating French fries and I’ll send you strongly worded texts in reprimand. You’ll fly over to watch my matches whenever possible, and when I’m on my next break, I’ll come visit you and meet your family and friends properly.”
“Getting a little presumptuous, aren’t we? What if I say no?” you said.
“Will you?” he said.
“Not sure. How about you ask and find out?” you said.
“If you’re going to say no, then I don’t want to,” he said. You stuck your tongue out at him.
“I can’t be with a man who’s afraid of rejection. It was nice knowing you, Sae,” you said. “See you around. Hope you lose the Champions League.”
“Wait! I’m not afraid of rejection,” he said. “Y/N, will you be my girlfriend? Officially, I mean.”
“Yes, of course,” you said. “But you’re going to have to buy my plane tickets if you want me to watch you. Even with frequent flier miles, I doubt I can afford coming to see you that often.”
“Consider it done,” he said. You grinned at him.
“You know, if you’re my boyfriend, then you’re going to have to keep paying for our dates, as well. My mother said that’s the gentlemanly thing for you to do,” you said.
“Right, I was expecting that,” he said. “Don’t you think there’s a reason why I haven’t let you buy anything yet?”
“Then how am I ever supposed to apologize to you for the circumstances of our first meeting? I mean, I was pretty harsh,” you said.
“That’s true,” he said. “Let me think.”
“Mhm,” you said. “I know that that’s out of your comfort zone, so I’ll give you a minute.”
“I have an idea,” he said, though it was accompanied by a slight glare at your jab.
“What is it?” you said.
“Close your eyes,” he said. You obliged, squeezing them shut, though not without widening your feet into the defensive stance he had demonstrated to you on the day he had attempted to teach you basic soccer skills.
“What are you going to do, tackle me or something? I’m using the position you taught me, but please be gentle, you’re way more muscular than—!”
You were cut off by him pressing his lips to yours. It was a soft kiss, gentle and light, like feathers in the air or water against the sand, and he pulled away before you could really react or reciprocate. He had left you wanting, and you knew he knew that, because there was a smugness to his voice when he spoke next.
“Apology accepted,” he said as you blinked at him in shock, your mind still lagging well behind your body. “Now we’re even.”
“Hold on,” you said. “I’m suddenly feeling very repentant and remorseful. Are you quite sure you forgive me with just that?”
He laughed. It was such a lovely sound, his laugh, and you would’ve told him so if you weren’t afraid that he’d stop when you pointed it out.
“Maybe not,” he said. “You might have to apologize a bit more.”
“That sounds doable,” you said. “Yeah, I might be able to work that in. It’ll be agonizing, but a wise man once told me that that’s just the nature of apologizing, so it’s the least I can do, right?”
“Oh, shut up,” he said, holding your face in his hands and leaning in. You did the same, your eyes closing all on their own as you sought out the connection he had deprived you of earlier.
As the sun set over the horizon and the seagulls settled in for the night, he kissed you again.

࿐ ࿔:・゚dating reo and nagi you play soccer with your boyfriends!
𝐛𝐲𝐫: these are just headcanons! female reader, polyamory, intended lowercase, includes swearing, possible out of character / mischaracterisation, fluff, suggestive and sexual themes!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
you didn’t know much about soccer.
which, in hindsight, was kind of funny seeing as the sport was a major factor in both your boyfriends' lives. if not, what their world primarily revolved around. of course, you understood the basics… you know you get a point when the ball goes in the net. you know 'offside' is apparently a thing people fight over like it’s life or death.
oh, and you know exactly when to turn the tv on to watch real madrid play. that one’s real important.
although, reo and nagi would probably disagree.
you remember softly padding into the living room one day, only to find them cuddled up watching tv together. the familiar cheering catches your attention, and your eyes sweep over what’s displayed on the screen.
"hey, this is madrid playing, right?"
"uh–yeah!" reo lights up, beyond surprised that you even knew the team’s name. it’s a good kind of surprised, though. and he immediately scoots over, patting the cushion beside him. "got it right. good job, princess."
"they’re versing those barça guys. should be intense." nagi quietly informs as you slide into the far end of the couch. you almost never watch games with them, let alone make the effort to engage, so they’re pretty thrilled to think you’re finally taking an interest in their world.
"sick! so… where’s jude bellingham?"
a moment of silence.
when you turn to face your boyfriends' they’re both sporting the same incredibly unimpressed look. and you swear that reo’s eyebrow twitched.
"so that’s what this is about." he mutters, feeling a tad bit betrayed, and it sounds like he’s speaking more to himself than anything.
"what? i just think he’s a good player." you sheepishly whistle, leaning forward to ogle the tv once said athlete finally comes on.
"he’s not even that good!" reo suddenly snaps, arms crossed over his chest, and it’s definitely not about soccer anymore.
"overrated." nagi huffs, reaching for the remote with way too much effort for someone who usually refuses to walk more than five steps unless bribed. "this is getting tiresome. let’s watch something else."
"i agree.” reo grumbles.
he changes the channel and some stupid cartoon animation starts playing. you blink, unable to believe their childish jealousy. "are you two serious?"
after that, you realise that your type must be immature men. you also make a mental note to never again disclose even the notion of having a celebrity crush around them. but the incident ultimately makes you realise that you probably could try a little harder to understand the sport they love.
so a few days later, you casually bring it up over breakfast. "would it be okay if i played soccer with you guys sometime?"
and just like that, your two boyfriends are choking on their orange juice. nagi slowly blinks like he misheard you, and reo’s staring like you just proposed. which, to be fair, you might as well have.
because the idea of you wanting to play soccer with them, of you wanting to be part of something they love so much? it makes their heart warm. to their knowledge you’ve never really played before, but that doesn’t matter, because they’re already jumping at the chance to say yes.
nagi nods his head curtly. "i’d be okay with that."
meanwhile, reo’s practically bouncing up and down, unable to contain his excitement. "of course we can play together! i’ll get you whatever you need. shin guards, a personal coach, hell, i’ll rent out the local park just so we can–"
"my backyard is fine." you quickly respond, grabbing onto his shoulders to stop him from freaking out any further.
he pauses, your touch grounding him. "you sure, princess?"
"yes! i don’t wanna pursue it or anything like that, i just know how much you two really enjoy it. so, why not? i wanna spend time doing something that you guys like." you quietly admit. and that response has them absolutely melting. it’s settled. cemented. you’re all going to play soccer together.
and so, the day eventually rolls around.
like promised, it’s nothing serious, just the three of you preparing to play a game of soccer in your oddly spacious backyard.
nagi’s half-asleep placing some cones down in vague formations, like he’s making it up as he goes. and reo’s struggling to get the portable goal net upright. when finally, you finish getting ready.
"we can start now!" you announce, stepping outside.
with your compression shirt hugging everything, a form fitting skirt to match that swayed with every step and the final kill shot; a pair of baby pink cleats that are so offensively cute, it’s truly a miracle the grass didn’t catch on fire beneath you.
both boys falter immediately upon noticing you. reo can feel his heart hammering in his ears. a noise that only intensifies once he catches sight of your bare thighs under the skirt. and then the adorable cleats just below them. oh god. a cone slips out of nagi’s grip by accident — like the muscles in his hand just went completely slack.
"okay, guys, i’m ready." you rest your hands on your hips.
that’s when the white haired boy suddenly tilts his head all the way back, staring up at the sky and directly into the sun as if trying to blind himself.
"um, treasure, what are you doing?" reo coughs into his hand, voice strained like he’s holding his self control together with nothing more than dental floss.
"just in case i get a nose bleed." nagi says flatly. "it’s a real hassle when it drips on your clothes, you know?"
"guys? is everything okay?" your voice cuts in, extremely oblivious to what’s causing their very weird demeanour.
reo opens his practically foaming mouth. closes it. tries again.
"it’s just, uh," he mutters, "you’re usually supposed to wear loose clothes when you, uh…"
your face flushes slightly in embarrassment, the slip up highlighting how little you know about the sport. "oh. should i change into something else then?"
"NO."
you’re flustered, sure, but also a little amused. they look like they’re about to spontaneously combust and you’ve barely said three sentences. was it really riling them up this much?
"so… i take it my clothes are okay?"
they both nod like zombies, looking a little bit glazed over.
you hum in determination, moving over to the ball and hesitantly kicking it forward, trying to get used to rolling it under your foot. "alright then, let’s start."
reo tugs at the collar of his jersey, letting out a half exasperated half strangled sound. "she’s trying to kill me."
"us." nagi corrects, finally looking back down at you, before immediately adverting his eyes again. "that outfit… hmph. she could’ve warned us beforehand."
after everyone calms down, you finally agree to start playing. and you realise that you’re actually a bit nervous. of course this was meant to be nothing more than a fun game with your partners, where they teach you as you go along, but they were essentially both pro players. who wouldn’t be a bit nervous?
but surprisingly, both your boyfriends' are so soft about it.
maybe you were just too accustomed to witnessing their ruthlessness while in blue lock, because you weren’t expecting it.
but nagi stays close to help your stance. he’ll lightly touch your waist while guiding you, the action sending unwarranted butterflies in your stomach. "other side." he’ll mumble, adjusting your foot with his. "there you go."
you’re definitely getting babied, but you don’t mind it. you actually enjoy how nagi whispers quiet words of encouragement. whereas reo, on the other hand, was acting like your own personal cheerleader, praising everything and anything you do like you’re some kind of prodigy. even though you’re the farthest one from it.
you kick the ball and miss?
he’s clapping.
you then attempt to chase after it and stumble a bit?
well, now he’s cheering. "that was so close! you’re a natural!"
you try to pass but it’s crooked and you somehow trip and plant yourself face first into the grass?
"ah shit–err, you’re doing so well, princess! keep it up!" he’s jumping up and down like you won the world cup.
to say they were being supportive would probably be an understatement. nagi was definitely more patient with you, calmly going through the steps of whatever you couldn’t really figure out. but since reo was able to mask his own restlessness with overcompensating compliments, none of it ended up being too much for you. both of them were a massive help throughout it all.
and the moment you actually start getting into it, oooh, they totally lose it.
you dribble a little. maybe chase the ball across the grass faster without tripping. the pleats in your tiny skirt flutter with every movement, and they’re both just watching with hearts in their eyes. because this is essentially their two favourite things in the whole wide world. together. actually, that might be subjective with nagi because he’d probably throw his iphone into that mix.
also they definitely fight at least once or twice or maybe even a couple times over who gets to show or teach you something.
"i said i was gonna show her that." "mmm. you were too slow."
anyways, perhaps by sheer luck, or possibly fate, you actually manage to kick the ball hard enough to send it sailing straight into the goal. there’s a pause due to your own shock. before you’re throwing your hands up in ecstasy, as the thrill of victory, although barely earned, rushes through you.
"goal!” you gush, jumping up and down in the spot and almost tripping over thin air with the action.
and your boyfriends' don’t even try to be chill about it. reo let’s out a dramatic whoop, running forward before lifting you in the air. nagi trails behind, with a lazy smile on his mouth and his arms already open for the inevitable group hug.
"you did it, y/n." reo commends, and you can tell by his tone that he wasn’t actually expecting you to do it.
"mhm. that was fun." nagi adds, looking genuinely impressed by your effort.
you exhale sharply. "wow, i sounded like isagi just now, didn’t i? he’s such a good player. i don’t understand how he does this everyday with other people."
another moment of silence. oh, there’s that eyebrow twitch from reo again. "we are standing right here."
"ah, yeah. you guys are good players too." you bashfully add, moving to pull them both into a hug again. it’s sweaty but filled with love.
"you wanna go back inside now and take a celebratory nap?" nagi asks, a hopeful note in his tone.
"nope, let’s continue playing!" you chirp, before pulling away to go and grab the ball. the two boys exchange a look.
you continue playing to your hearts content. until it almost starts to border sunset, and you’re way too exhausted to move even another bone in your body. you’re panting wildly, flushed body pressed against the grass as you try to desperately catch your breath. your boyfriends' are all but tranquil as they move next to you on the grass.
"how are you two not dying?" you grunt.
reo shrugs, leaning back on his palms and spreading his legs out. "we kind of do this everyday."
"okay, but, you’ve barely even broken a sweat! you guys are something inhuman."
he chuckles before fixing you with that familiar cocky smile. "just saving my stamina for later, sweet girl."
you scoff, but the implication makes your face flare up anyway. sometimes, you hated reo and his effortless charm.
nagi plops down next to you. except he slides a little lower than usual, casually tugging your legs across his torso like it’s a weighted blanket he wishes to die beneath. "you’re cute when you try." he mumbles, arms locked around your thighs.
you’re too exhausted to react to the mildly patronising tone in his comment. you just groan and continue to melt into the grass.
until they begin inching closer. of course.
reo’s fingers suddenly brush through your messily strewn hair, tucking a few strands behind your ear. "you’ve earned a reward, you know. learning how to play so well. scoring that one goal."
you let out a laugh, shaking your head at his antics. "you’re too much."
"you love it." he hums, already leaning in.
it barely gives you time to register the little soft kisses that nagi is pressing just above your knee. dragging his lips up your thigh. you can barely make out the faint sound of his mumbling. "bet you’re still warm from running." he rasps. "let me taste."
hearing that alone almost makes you malfunction. you didn’t even get the chance to get out of your practice clothes before they’re suddenly pinning you down on the grass, mouths and hands on a mission.
"guys, wait, i’m like, all sweaty. everywhere. this is not—hot."
"says who?" reo challenges, already kissing down your throat. he zeroes in on your pulse point, which is still thrumming from the adrenaline of playing. and now something else entirely.
"says me." you weakly retort, but it seems like they have no shame in their game.
nagi hums, still tracing his mouth alarmingly close to a certain area. "hm. but you did so good."
"we just want to celebrate our little mvp." reo adds with a chuckle, but you can tell he’s holding himself back. if the almost hungry look in his eyes is anything to go.
you scramble for a sliver of dignity. "can i at least take a shower first?"
"no.” nagi whines, fingers reaching for your skirt. "i don’t want you to take this off yet. you look too pretty in it.” he mumbles. "like, too much."
your face burns at the compliment. nagi is so soft spoken to the point where everything he says sounds innocent. even if it’s not. especially when it’s not. that’s what makes it so dangerous. you squirm. "but i’m gross–"
that’s when reo grabs your wrists to press you flush against the grass completely. the choppy leaves dig into your skin; a silent order to stop the wriggling.
the glint in his eyes is almost animalistic, and when he murmurs it’s a strained sound. like he’s been holding this in for hours. "you think we care about that?"
you blink, breath suddenly caught in your throat. what kind of horny demon managed to simultaneously possess the both of them? sure, you knew that exercise was an incubator for endorphins. you also knew that your boyfriends' loved to ambush you with a tag-team. but something about this was different. it had to be their desperation.
your scrutinising gaze flickers between them. "literally what has gotten into you freaks?"
and then reo leans in, deciding to mercifully tell you the truth. his mouth is right at your ear, but the words are just loud enough for nagi to hear, too.
"this whole day all i could think about was having your legs over my shoulders." he exhales shakily. "with the cleats still on."
your heart stutters. and your brain blanks. your thighs twitch without your permission.
even nagi let’s out a guttural sound at the mental image. and that’s when it clicks. that’s why they’re acting like this. they’re being so borderline feral because this is something that has really got them going. like, this outfit. and you, playing soccer, in general. the whole shebang.
your suspicions are confirmed when reo continues. "watching you run around in that tiny skirt has been driving me crazy, too." his forehead is pressed to yours now, barely containing himself. "please."
your face goes scarlet at the pure yearning in his tone. they wanted you this badly? suddenly your brain feels foggy. and your willpower is surely slipping away.
"she’s shaking." nagi comments. "cute."
you let out mortified laugh, finally accepting your fate with a heart that’s beating way too fast for reasons completely unrelated to physical activity.
"i hate you both." you mumble in resignation.
five minutes later you’re making noises that probably say otherwise.

━ 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐈, 𝐔𝐧𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐟𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐅𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬.
Tumblr media
— pairing; itoshi sae x reader  
— summary; in which you and sae meet again in japan after a messy breakup in spain. set in the blue lock manager au.
— notes; please donate to my kofi if you like my work. and know that i am mentally smooching everyone who reblogs my stuff.
Tumblr media
❋ It’s not really something you like to broadcast, how you and Sae were close when you were in Spain with your parents for that brief, wonderful period of time. While he honed his skills with football, you would balance your studies while helping out at Re Al.
❋ Things had been so simple back then. Late-night walks in Madrid, your fingers intertwined with his. Sneaking kisses in quiet corners, away from prying eyes. Sharing popsicles and everything else. Sae was cold to the rest of the world, his softness reserved entirely for you.
❋ You were each other’s first everything — first kiss, first love, first heartbreak.
❋ Some part of you had to have known that this was only temporary, considering how often your parents travel for work. But it still comes as a shock to you when you parents abruptly decide to return to Japan to help fund the Blue Lock project.
❋ And Sae, so full of potential. Sae, whose career is finally taking off. You aren’t about to let him leave it behind; and Sae, too driven, too focused on his dreams, wasn’t about to throw it all away and return to Japan either. Not like this. Not for you.
❋ You hadn’t expected to see him at the airport to see you off. Sae’s expression was closed off, and it was like the two of you were strangers once again, the distance and silence already stretching endlessly between you. As if your relationship had never existed in the first place.
❋ The breakup was messy, yet silent. Both of you knew instinctively that this was the end. And just before Sae left without looking back, his final words to you were, “If you’re going, don’t expect me to wait.”
❋ The last image you have of him is his retreating figure, back rigid, leaving as the words die on your lips.
❋ And that was that.
❋ You’d returned to Japan with your parents to work as a manager at Blue Lock (Ego had agreed to take you in under the promise of free labour, apparently). Ego’s lectures aren’t fun, but you’re actually learning something under him and Anri when you’re not being driven insane by a group of rowdy, immature teenaged boys.
❋ You try really hard not to think about Sae. Even if the occasional headline reminds you of his burgeoning career in Europe. But the memory of him is a quiet ache in your chest that surfaces in random moments — when you see the colour teal, or hear a song he’d used to like.
❋ You’ve been to JFA headquarters only once or twice before, but it’s bustling with activity as always. Your purpose here is purely business; you’ll act as a secretary for Ego and Anri while they finalize plans for the U20 match with the top brass.
❋ You didn’t think that he’d be there.
❋ Right at that very moment.
❋ In that very room.
❋ Fate is cruel, sometimes.
❋ He looks . . . The same, yet somehow different all at once. His hair’s a little longer, his expression sharper, but those piercing green eyes haven’t changed at all, and the realisation makes your chest throb painfully all over again.
❋ You wonder how you appear to him, underneath your professional blazer and veneer of carefully controlled calm. Does he think you still look the same? Or does he think that you’ve changed, become a total stranger to him, much like how he is to you right now?
❋ His gaze is intense, scorching. You can feel it the second you enter the room, but you keep your head down and try to pay attention to the meeting. (The thought of having to present incomplete notes to Ego certainly does a marvellous job at helping you focus.)
❋ A breath of relief soughs out of you the moment the meeting ends. Quickly, you gather your things, following Ego and Anri out the door. You’re eager to avoid the lingering eyes of the association’s board members.
❋ And perhaps most of all: you’re eager to avoid unnecessary small talk with Sae.
❋ But you catch a final glimpse of him out the corner of your eye; Sae, still staring at you. His expression seemingly softer, almost hesitant. It’s almost as if he wants to call your name, to stop you from leaving, but something — Pride? Anger? — holds him back.
❋ The door to the meeting room clicks shut behind you with a cold finality, and this time, you’re the one leaving first.

Got me cheeseing over here omg. You don't know how much these messages mean to me, like, actually. It's ironic as a writer that I do not have the words to say how much this means to me :,) So thank you. <3 (also I love this request)
Tumblr media
Waves and Sunscreen
Requested.
It’s the first beach day of the summer and you and your boyfriend make time to go to the beach. You take off your coverup, and suddenly your boyfriend can't look away from you.
Part 1: Isagi, Chigiri, Rin, Bachira, Kunigami, Reo, Nagi
Requests: OPEN
💙 Isagi Yoichi
When you take off your cover-up: You’re standing near the cooler talking about which drink you want when you casually pull your cover-up over your head. Just a towel and a breath of wind, and suddenly you’re standing there in the kind of swimsuit that truly has him at a loss for words. Isagi looks up mid-sentence… and forgets what he was going to say all together. His mouth stays half open. A water bottle slips from his hand and thuds softly into the sand.
You turn around. “You okay?”
He blinks. Slowly. Then swallows hard. “Y-Yeah,” he says. But his voice cracks, and his face goes red. “I mean, yeah, I just—uh. You look really… really good.”
You stare for a moment before a laugh escapes your lips, already walking toward the umbrella like it’s nothing. He’s frozen in place, replaying the image in his head. You in a swimsuit? That swimsuit? He was not expecting.
Under the umbrella, when you ask him to put on sunscreen: You flop down on your towel and undo your bikini top like it’s no big deal. “Can you get my back?” you ask, chin in your arms.
“Wha—now?” You tilt your head. “Yeah, now. It’s the sunniest part of the day.”
He hesitates like he’s preparing for a high-stakes penalty kick. Then finally kneels next to you, unscrews the bottle, and gently squirts some into his hand. Way too much btw.
You don’t say anything. You’re just waiting.
He starts rubbing it in, and it’s barely a touch. His hands are soft, hesitant, staying high up on your shoulders and only daring to smooth along your back when you exhale a little laugh. “Relax,” you tease. "I'm not that fragile."
He mutters something under his breath. Quiet. Almost too soft to hear. “T-That’s not what I’m worried about…”
When he ties your top back up, his hands fumble with the knot. You can feel his fingers shaking.
In the water, when guys start staring: You’re waist-deep, hair wet, laughing as you splash him. He’s smiling, until his eyes shift over your shoulder. Two guys standing farther down the shore. Staring. His expression changes instantly. He moves closer. One arm around your waist. Then the other. Pulls you back into him, your back against his chest.
You blink. “Yoichi?”
He doesn’t answer. Just rests his chin on your shoulder like he’s relaxing, but he’s definitely watching. When one guy won’t stop looking, Isagi narrows his eyes and mouths something that makes the guy look away real quick.
You giggle. “You’re being clingy.”
He exhales slowly and hugs you tighter. “Sorry."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
🌺 Chigiri Hyoma
When you take off your cover-up: He sees it happen out of the corner of his eye, just a quick movement as you pull the fabric off your shoulders. He turns his head without thinking, then stops. Doesn’t say anything. Doesn’t react right away. Just goes quiet. You glance over, and he’s standing there with a hand on his hip, blinking slowly, mouth pressed in a tight line. “…What?” you ask, smirking.
“Nothing,” he says. His voice is calm, but his ears are pink. “You look good.” He says bluntly.
He clears his throat, looks off toward the water, and pretends he’s totally unfazed. But when you walk past him to grab sunscreen, he definitely takes another look.
Under the umbrella, when you ask him to put on sunscreen: You stretch out on your towel and untie your top like it’s normal, and for you, it is. But for him? He hesitates for a second when you hand him the bottle.
“Seriously?” “Seriously.” You raise an eyebrow. “Why are you looking at me like that?”
He doesn’t answer. Just kneels beside you, pours a little lotion into his hand, and starts rubbing it in. His hands are warm. Careful. But not shy. He keeps his touch steady as well as focused, and quiet.
You glance back and see the small crease between his brows. “Are you concentrating?”
He exhales. “Trying not to mess it up.”
When he finishes, he ties the top back without making a show of it. Doesn’t say anything extra. But you catch him stealing a look at your shoulder as you sit up, biting the inside of his cheek like he’s keeping something to himself.
In the water, when guys start staring: At first, he doesn’t notice. He’s busy watching the waves, wiping water from his eyes, squeezing water out of his hair. But when he does catch one guy looking a little too long, and then another...He doesn’t say anything, just swims closer. His hand settles lightly on your waist. Then he moves behind you, stays close, almost casual.
You raise an eyebrow. “Everything okay?”
He nods. “Yeah. Just staying close.”
Another guy looks again. Chigiri meets his eyes once, and doesn’t look away until the guy does. You smile, nudging his foot underwater. “You’re not subtle.”
He shrugs. “Wasn’t trying to be.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
🐠 Rin Itoshi
When you take off your cover-up:
He glances up once. Then again. Slower the second time. You look over and catch the crease in his brow. The subtle sigh through his nose.
“That’s not the one you said you were bringing.”
You shrug. “Changed my mind.”
He looks away fast. Shakes his head.
“Tch. You could’ve said something.”
You walk past him, and he mutters something under his breath, too quiet to catch. But his ears are red, and he won’t look at you directly for a full minute.
Under the umbrella, when you ask him to put on sunscreen:
You lie down on your towel, reach behind your neck, and untie your top without warning.
“Can you do my back?”
He sits up fast.
“Y/N, what the hell are you doing? We’re in public.”
You just glance over your shoulder. “I’m laying on my stomach. No one can see anything.”
“That’s not the point.”
He looks around like someone’s already staring, then shifts to kneel beside you, blocking the view out of instinct. You hand him the sunscreen. He takes it, muttering under his breath.
“I swear to god…”
Still, he starts rubbing it in. Quiet. Focused. His touch is a little rushed at first, like he wants this over fast, but then slows down when you relax.
You peek back at him. “You’re doing a lot for someone who just complained.”
“Yeah, well,” he mutters. “Don’t untie your top in public next time.”
When he finishes, he ties it back tight. No lingering. No teasing. Just a quick knot and then he’s tossing your towel higher over your shoulders like he’s shielding you from the world. You roll your eyes, smiling into your arms. He sits beside you, arms crossed. Still annoyed. Still red.
In the water, when guys start staring:
You’re laughing, relaxed, floating near him and he’s too busy watching the shore. He sees it happen. One guy. Then another. Next thing you know, Rin’s behind you. Hands on your hips. Calm grip, firm enough to make a point.
You turn your head. “What’s up with you?”
“Nothing.” He glances at the guy again. “You’re fine right here.”
Another look. A longer one. Rin mouths something, low, short, and not even a little friendly.
You laugh under your breath. “You’re not jealous, are you?”
“No,” he says flatly. Then squeezes your waist just a little tighter.
“I just don’t like people staring at you."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
🐝 Bachira Meguru
When you take off your cover-up:
He’s mid-frisbee throw when he glances over, just in time to catch you slipping the cover-up off your shoulders. The disc falls straight to the sand. He stares for a second too long. Eyes wide. Mouth slightly open.
“Whoa.”
You turn around. “What?”
He grins, trying to play it cool, but the flush on his face says otherwise.
“You didn’t say it was that kind of swimsuit.”
You smirk. “Does it matter?”
“No, not at all~” he says, grabbing the frisbee without breaking eye contact, still smiling and eying you down.
Under the umbrella, when you ask him to put on sunscreen:
You lie down, untie your top, and hand him the bottle with a casual, “Get my back?”
He blinks. Tilts his head like he didn’t hear you right.
“…Who, me?”
You raise an eyebrow.
“Okay, okay,” he grins, taking the bottle.
He kneels beside you, rubs the sunscreen into his palms, and gets to work. His touch is steady but light, not awkward, just careful. You can tell he’s being respectful, even if he keeps sneaking little glances at your expression like he’s waiting for you to call him out.
Once he’s done, he ties your top back with a gentle tug and sits back with a little nod of approval.
“Nice teamwork,” he says, brushing sand off his legs. “Next time, I get the towel spot though.”
You just smile and nudge his foot. He bumps yours right back.
In the water, when guys start staring:
At first, he doesn’t notice. He’s too busy splashing you, making dumb faces. But then he sees one guy looking for a little too long. He swims behind you fast, hands on your hips, grinning against your ear. You laugh, trying to shake him off, but he just tightens his grip. Then he looks right past you, catches the guy’s eye, and gives him the kind of smile that doesn’t look very friendly. Still soft, but sharp enough to mean something.
You shake your head. “You’re ridiculous.”
He shrugs. “Yeah. But I’m yours.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
🧡 Kunigami Rensuke
When you take off your cover-up:
He’s setting up your beach chairs when he hears the soft rustle behind him. Turns around, and stops. You’re standing there, casual as ever, now in just your swimsuit. He blinks. Then quickly looks away like he didn’t just stare.
You tilt your head. “Everything okay?”
“Yeah.”
But his voice is tight, and he’s suddenly a little too focused on adjusting the umbrella. You walk past him toward the towel and he glances again, just once. His ears are pink. His hands go straight into his pockets. He clears his throat.
“You look… really good.”
You look over as a smile appears on your lips.
"Thank you baby."
Under the umbrella, when you ask him to put on sunscreen:
You stretch out and untie your top, tossing him the bottle like you’ve done this a hundred times.
“Can you do my back?”
He catches it awkwardly.
“Right now?”
You nod. He’s already kneeling beside you before you can say anything else, trying his best to act normal. He squirts the sunscreen into his hand and rubs it in gently, quiet, calm, and way more careful than usual. You can feel him holding his breath a little.
“You okay back there?”
“Yeah,” he says quickly. “Just… being careful.”
He finishes and ties your top back with a firm tug, not letting himself say anything else. His hands linger for a second longer than needed, then he sits back, wiping his palms off.
In the water, when guys start staring:
He notices fast. You’re laughing, arms out in the waves, and he’s standing nearby until he sees a guy across the water very clearly not watching the tide. He doesn’t say anything. Just moves next to you. An arm slips around your waist. Then both. Pulls you in gently.
You blink. “Something wrong?”
“Nope,” he says, staring straight ahead. “Just stay close.”
You look around and realize what’s happening.
“Are you jealous?”
“No.”
But his grip doesn’t loosen.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
💜 Mikage Reo
When you take off your cover-up:
He’s fixing the speaker, already relaxing with his sunglasses on when you call his name and toss your cover-up aside. He turns. Pauses. Smiles, slow and obvious.
“Well damn,” he says, eyes flicking up and down. “You’ve been holding out on me.”
You roll your eyes and keep walking, but he’s still looking with a giant grin, hands on his hips now, head tilted slightly.
“You wore that on purpose, huh?”
You throw him a grin over your shoulder. He just laughs and shakes his head. “Unreal.”
Under the umbrella, when you ask him to put on sunscreen:
You stretch out, untie your top, and hand him the bottle.
“Help me out?”
He raises an eyebrow. “You sure you trust me with this?”
“You gonna mess it up?”
“No. I’m gonna take my time.”
He kneels beside you, warms the sunscreen in his hands, and smooths it over your back with practiced ease. His fingers glide slow, not inappropriate, just confident. Like he knows what he’s doing and knows you know it, too. When he finishes, he ties your top without rushing, then leans down to whisper near your ear:
“Let me know if you ever want more help"
He teased before standing up and dusting the sand off his knees, his sunglasses still on his face. You scoff and swat at him, and he just laughs, smug, satisfied.
In the water, when guys start staring:
He’s got one arm around your waist already, pulling you in after a wave when his gaze flicks toward the shore. He sees it. That guy. Now because he has his sunglasses on, the pervert staring at you had yet to notice that Reo was staring daggers into him. He doesn’t move. Doesn’t speak. Just shifts his stance, hand firm on your hip now.
You glance up. “What’s wrong?”
He nods toward the guy. “He’s been staring for a looong time." He said it playfully, but his gaze was still on the man, his body more stiff.
You raise an eyebrow. “You’re mad?"
Reo leans in, his voice low, his sunglasses falling down on his nose just enough so that you could see his eyes.
“I’ll buy the whole beach if it means they stop looking.”
You laugh. “You’re ridiculous.”
“Rich and ridiculous,” he says, tugging you closer.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
🤍 Nagi Seishiro
When you take off your cover-up:
He’s laying flat under the umbrella, half-asleep, arm over his eyes.
Then you say, “Hey, toss me that towel?”
He lifts his head, and sees you standing there in your swimsuit. He blinks once. Then again.
“…Huh?”
You laugh. “What?”
He doesn’t answer. Just stares for a second longer than normal, then groans and throws the towel without aiming. It lands half on your foot.
“You said it was that one pink swimsuit." He mumbles.
You shrug. “It is.”
He sits up slowly, one hand still shielding his eyes.
“It’s not. " He groans staring at you in your blue two-piece,
"You look… crazy good. Not fair.”
Under the umbrella, when you ask him to put on sunscreen:
You lie down on your towel, untie your top, and roll the bottle over to him.
“Can you get my back?”
He sits up straighter. “Ugh… you sure?”
“You’re already awake.”
“Barely.”
Still, he drags himself over, sits beside you, and squirts the sunscreen into his palms. His touch is lazy but gentle, slow and careful, like he’s focusing way harder than he wants to admit.
“You’re so warm,” you mumble.
He mutters back, “Yeah, ’cause you’re stressing me out.”
When he finishes, he ties your top back with a loose, almost sleepy knot. Then flops onto his own towel face-down like he just ran a marathon.
In the water, when guys start staring:
You’re waist-deep, smiling, and floating next to him when he glances toward the beach and sees someone watching. He doesn’t say anything. Just moves behind you and places both hands lightly on your hips.
You turn your head. “What are you doing?”
“Gettin’ comfortable,” he mutters. But his eyes flick back to the guy, and they don’t look tired anymore.
When the guy doesn’t stop, Nagi lets out a sigh. Tightens his grip.
“Tell me when I can punch someone.”
You laugh. “You’re not punching anyone.”
“Then let me stand here.”
He stays locked on you like an anchor the rest of the swim.

BANGS
next
summary · have you ever wondered why and when sae started wearing his baby bangs up? :) cw · itoshi sae x fem!reader, español convos r google translated, please correct me for any mistranslations and i apologize in advance, both are 14-15 in this since i speculate the reason started all the way back, hopefully, once the mangaka reveals more of sae's backstory in españa, he isn't far too emo yet at this age wc · 2.5k
Sae had never been one for vanity. His appearance was something he wore like his jersey—unremarkable in his eyes, but a source of endless fascination for others.
He’d stick to the basics—clean-cut, effortless, and sharp enough without even trying. Though, his fans obsessed over every detail, from the sharpness of his jawline to the way his bangs, short and neat, fell softly over his forehead, framing his teal eyes. To Sae, all of this was incidental—just another part of his preference for simplicity.
It was one of those days, during a rare quiet (courtesy of you) evening at the academy dorms. Dinner had been a casual affair, with nothing much to do afterward, and as you wandered back to your room, the brightest idea struck you: why not pay a visit to—bascially, your only friend—at the other side of the academy housing?
When you were both scouted at the ripe age of 13 to play in Spain, both of you had left behind everything you knew—your families, your home, your language. The sudden plunge into an entirely different environment had been jarring. The culture, the food, the constant buzz of español around you—it was overwhelming. High expectations pressed down on your shoulders, with the academy’s reputation and dreams of a professional career constantly looming.
There was no support system to fall back on. Your parents were thousands of miles away in Japan, unable to offer more than occasional video calls and mailed letters. The club staff and academy members tried, in their own way, to act as mentors and parental figures, but it wasn’t the same. The homesickness, the struggle to adapt, and the pressure to perform all felt crushing. Conversations had been stilted and awkward, especially with the two of you still learning to speak in broken, halting español. But over a year later, you’d found a rhythm. When no one else understood, he did. You both knew what it felt like to miss home, to feel like an outsider, to be surrounded by noise but still feel alone.
As cliche as it sounds, in the end; it was you and, annoyingly, Itoshi Sae against the world.
The male dorms were quieter than you expected, a stillness hanging in the air that made your footsteps feel far louder than they were. You had no business being here, not really, but that never stopped you before. And besides, Itoshi Sae didn’t seem to mind your intrusions. Or so you told yourself.
The sharp knock you gave was met with his voice, calm and cool as ever.
“Come in.”
You opened the door to find him sitting at his desk, the glow of his laptop casting shadows across his face. His bangs shifted with the turn of his head, teal eyes flicking up with an expression that was neither surprised nor annoyed—just Sae. Acknowledging you before returning to whatever analysis or footage he was engrossed in.
“You again.” he said, his voice neutral, almost bored.
“You should be honored, really,” you poised, breezing past his room like it was yours too. “And unfortunately, you’re my only option Sae.” You drawled.
“Lucky me,” he said dryly, though he didn’t tell you to leave. “You know, most people knock and wait for an invitation.”
“You’ve never needed to invite me before,” you said, settling onto the edge of his bed. “Why start now?”
He didn’t argue, but the faintest ghost of a smile tugged at his lips. For all his complaints, you knew Sae appreciated having you around. You were the only piece of home he had here, just as he was for you.
No matter how much the world outside demanded of you—how high the expectations, how foreign the environment—in moments like this, with him, you could breathe.
Sae's dorm was a plain space that reflected the utilitarian nature of the academy housing, yet much derived of personality compared to yous: sparsely decorated but immaculate, everything in its place. A couple of freshly folded jerseys on the shelf, a framed photo by the bed—nothing excessive, just functional and quietly personal. It was so… Sae.
“Well, you’re early.” He remarked, shutting the laptop and leaning back in his chair, his eyes briefly meeting yours before shifting to the clock on his desk.
“Dude, it’s literally evening, and everyone just finished dinner,” you exasperated, rolling your eyes.
He shrugged, a faint smirk at his lips. “For you, that’s early. You usually show up when you’re about to pass out from boredom.”
You crossed your arms, pretending to be offended, before mirroring his smirk. “Damn right I did.”
“Of course,” he replied, voice dripping with sarcasm.
“You need to lighten up,” you teased, flopping around his bed unceremoniously. “This place feels like a showroom. Do you even live here?”
He rolled his eyes, standing up to retrieve something from his shelf. “It’s a dorm, not a hotel. What do you expect?”
“A little personality wouldn’t hurt,” you quipped, watching as he settled back into his chair.
He glanced at you, expression calm but faintly amused. “If you don’t like it, you know where the door is.”
You grinned, knowing full well you aren’t going anywhere. “Nah, I think I’ll stay. Someone has to make this place feel alive.”
Sae sighed, but there was no real annoyance in it. “Just don’t make a mess.”
“Right… So, what’s the plan?” You asked, kicking off your shoes and leaning back on your elbows. “Am I supposed to sit here in silence while you work on drills in your head?”
He stood, walking over with that signature calmness of his, and sat criss-cross beside you on the bed. The mattress barely dipped under his weight, as if even gravity couldn’t unbalance him.
“Maybe,” he teased, voice soft but laced with dry humor. “Unless you have a better idea.”
You rolled your eyes, pulling out your phone and shoving it toward him. “How about we pick a movie? Something that isn’t Taxi Driver for once.” As much as you loved the movie, it was getting repetitive, and you were starting to feel like you knew every line by heart.
Sae glanced at the phone, then back at you, his lips twitching ever so slightly. “You don’t like it anymore?” he teased, his voice the usual mix of indifference and amusement.
“I love it, but I don’t need to watch it every time I’m over here,” you replied, scrolling through the options. “We’ve literally watched it four times this week.”
“Then pick something better.” He leaned back against the headboard, his posture as controlled as always, like he had no intention of exerting effort in this decision. But you could tell by the way his teal eyes followed your movements that he was paying attention. Typical Sae.
You sighed dramatically. “You know, it’s a lot more fun when you at least pretend to care.”
Sae raised an eyebrow, gaze flicking to the phone before returning your sigh ten times more dramatic, a mix of exasperation and amusement. “Fine. But if it’s boring, we’re switching back to drills.”
You picked a new movie, something lighthearted, easy to watch, and settled back against the pillows, feeling oddly content.
The lights were killed, and the room slipped into a cozy darkness, save for the faint glow of the screen. Everything was ready to go and the movie started. But as it played on, your attention drifted back to Sae, completely absorbed in the film. His burgundy hair fell slightly over his eyes, distracting you for a moment. Without thinking, you reached over and brushed it back into place, the soft strands slipping through your fingers.
Sae’s eyes flickered incredulously toward you, but made no move to pull away.
He was uncharacteristically still as you perched beside him, fingers idly trailing through the silky strands of his hair. Your eyes flickered to his back and shoulders, noticing his now stiff posture. Though he didn’t speak, you could feel the subtle tension in his frame.
You murmured to appease him, “Sae, hold still.” The soft brush of your fingers through his hair seemed to ease the tension, so you continued with slow, deliberate strokes. When you brushed his bangs back, his eyes became the centerpiece of his face—sharp, vivid teals. They were like swirling oceans caught in the throes of a storm, deep and endless, with flecks of light dancing like sunlight on restless waves.
There was an intensity there, the kind that made you feel as though he could see right through you, peeling back every layer with a single glance. But beyond the sharpness, there was something softer hidden in their depths— like the stillness just before dawn.
Without the curtain of his bangs to soften the edges, his gaze became piercing, almost dangerous, like shards of sea glass—beautiful, but with a sharpness that could cut if you weren’t careful.
It was impossible to look away, not when his eyes held that kind of quiet power, commanding attention without a single word.
But then, Sae blinked.
He looked up at you with a slight frown.
"What are you doing?”
You felt the trance slip away, leaving you almost disappointed at how quickly reality snapped back into place.
You blinked back at him, brushing your hands off like you hadn’t just been lost in his eyes for longer than you cared to admit. “Nothing,” you replied innocently, tucking a few strands back into place and brushing his bangs, so they no longer fell over his forehead. “Your hair was in your face.”
“It wasn’t bothering me.” He said, though he didn’t pull away or stop you.
“Yeah, but it was bothering me.” You shot back, smoothing the strands until they stayed where you wanted them. His hair was surprisingly easy to manage, soft and silky under your touch. You backed up to admire your work.
His hair stood upright now, his whole face on display—sharp lines, ahem piercing eyes, the kind of look that stopped hearts if you weren’t careful. Gulp. “You look good like this. Cooler, maybe.”
He didn’t say anything for a moment, his attention seemingly back on the screen, but the slight tilt of his head toward your hand betrayed him. He wasn’t just tolerating it—he didn’t mind.
He scoffed, “You’re ruining it.” He finally uttered, voice flat. Though he didn’t make a move to fix it.
“Ruining what? You barely even care about how it looks.” You teased, letting your fingers drift through his hair one last time before settling back against the headboard.
His lips twitched, almost a smile but not quite. “Maybe. But now you have to watch the movie. No more distractions.”
“Fine, fine.” You smiled, turning your attention back to the screen. Yet something about the quiet approval in your gaze stayed with him.
From then on, Sae started keeping his bangs up.
It was a subtle yet significant change that didn’t go unnoticed. His fans speculated endlessly about the reason behind the new style—some attributing it to his growing maturity, others to a shift in his on-field persona. But smugly, only Itoshi Sae knew the truth.
-----
The stadium roared with life as the final whistle blew, signaling another victory for the Re Al youth team. Sae, as always, was the picture of composure. His hair, damp with sweat, stayed stubbornly defying gravity in its upright style, the way he’d styled it before the game.
You watched from the stands, pride swelling in your chest amidst the thrumming energy of the crowd. Unlike your usual matches with the female Re Al youth team, tonight was all about the boys. Your district didn’t have a match, so you’d ended up in the crowd, cheering for a game you didn’t have to play in.
Sae’s teal eyes scanned the rows until they found yours. He didn’t need to smile or wave—just the faintest nod in your direction. It was so like him, subtle and understated, but somehow, and alarmingly, made your heart flutter all the same.
As the team took their victory lap around the field, Sae broke away, making a bee-line toward you. The crowd stirred, curious eyes following his every steps.
When he reached you, there was no hesitation. You leaned over the railing, your fingers instinctively brushing through his sweaty hair. His bangs, stiff from hairspray, you assume, and effort, softened under your touch, falling slightly out of place.
For a second, everything stilled. The roaring crowd, the flashing cameras—it all melted into a backdrop as Sae stood there, letting you fix him like it was the most normal thing in the world.
The stadium fell into a stunned silence before the spell broke, erupting into cheers and whistles.
One of his teammates, whose name you didn't really care enough to remember, shouted from the field. "¡Oye, Sae! ¡No sabía que tenías un peluquero de guardia!" Oi, Sae! Didn’t know you had a hairdresser on call!
Hollering followed, and Sae shot them a quick, unimpressed glare. He turned back to you, his lips quirking into the faintest of smirks, leaning just a little closer. “You’ve made quite th scene,” he said, voice low enough for only you to hear.
You smiled, your fingers still lingering in his hair. “Can’t help it. You looked like you needed it.”
For the first time that night, Sae let out the faintest chuckle—a soft, almost invisible sound that felt like a treasure meant just for you.
When he walked back to his team, his bangs slightly tousled from your touch, the teasing began almost immediately.
“No sabía que nuestro Sae-chan podía verse tan humano.” Didn’t know our Sae-chan could look so human. They teased, a mischievous grin plastered across his face.
“O tan mandilón.” Or so whipped.
“Ni siquiera puedo imaginar que pueda sonreír así.” Can't even fathom he could smile like that.
“¿Es esto lo que el amor le hace a un chico?” Is this what love does to a guy? One of them added with a dramatic shake of his head, sending the group into another fit of laughter.
Sae ignored them, of course. But as he glanced back at you one last time, there was something different in his expression—something warm and quiet, a look reserved, meant only for you.
Meanwhile, the crowd’s whistles and playful jeers had you feeling just as flustered. Your cheeks burned, and you could tell by the way Sae’s ears tinted pink that he wasn’t immune to it either.
It was a simple thing, really. A touch, a moment, a look. Nothing too out of the ordinary for the two of you. After all, you were just friends. But amidst the crowd’s cheering, the teasing of his teammates, in the way Sae’s gaze lingered a moment longer than necessary, and in the way your heart raced, it felt like there was more to it.
And then the whispers started.
Backstage chatter, curious glances, and the media’s ever-watchful eye. They’d always known you and Sae were quite close, two prodigies from Japan.. childhood friends, even. But now... now, it seemed the world was starting to wonder if there was more to your bond than just friendship. Perhaps it was.. puppy love? Was there something more to the way you interacted? The teasing? The hair stunt you pulled? Was it all casual?
For now, that was all it was. Just speculation. But for Sae, maybe that small, fleeting interaction was everything.
Maybe.
And maybe that’s why, no matter how many times his teammates teased or fans speculated, Sae never explained why his bangs were always styled up.

Tumblr media
✃ - - - - -
The ground was blanketed in a layer of white, called snow. You had seen it once in your time in Anakt Garden. While lying on the artificial grass, you reached up and felt the chilliness of the small particles. There were people around you, but you don't remember what they were to you. Friends? Family? Or just acquaintances?
You don't recall. Although you yearn to do so, the memories are too vague to understand. So new ones replaced the old, now that you were not in that world.
The first time you woke up, it felt unsettling. You had memories that weren't entirely your own and a sensation you couldn't identify. The room around you was white—just like the uniforms of Anakt, just like the corridors of every building they constructed. Then, the person holding you took you to a strangely shaped building filled with color. It was there that you met your brothers, Sae and Rin. They looked at you with curiosity, seemingly captivated by your blank stare.
They are kind to you, providing a warmth you hadn't felt before. So here you are, cuddled up to Rin underneath the sheets of your shared bed. Unfortunately for you, despite the frigidness of the snow being familiar, you weren't immune to the effects it had. In short, you had caught a cold and were now resting in bed, Rin being him, said that he would protect you from the cold. He was curled against you, had his cheek pressed against the top of your head, and his arms wrapped around you protectively, while his fingers gripped the back of your shirt.
You sniffled, "Rin-nii..." you voiced, your words slightly muffled from the way you buried your face in Rin's shirt. The boy cracked an eye open and let out a curious hum. "Sae-nii said you would get sick too if you stayed close to me." you rubbed underneath your nose, wanting to get rid of the uncomfortable feeling of a clogged nose.
Rin pursed his lips "Nii-chan did say that..." He trailed off. Then he pouted "But you're cold! So I'm staying" He huffed, determined to give you warmth, knowing that you were sensitive to the cold. Your chest felt tight but it wasn't unpleasant. You let a wobbly smile slip out at your brothers' determination.
The door to the room opened, and Sae walked in holding a bottle of medicine syrup and a silver spoon. He set the bottle on the nightstand next to the bed, "(Name), it's time for your medicine" Sae reached over and wiped away a bead of sweat that formed on your forehead. You whined at the mention of medicine but accepted your fate, you tapped Rin on his arm to let you go.
Rin unwrapped his arms from around you reluctantly and let you sit up. Sae poured the medicine into a spoon and brought it up to your lips, you stared unblinkingly at it. You pressed your lips together, already dreading the horrible aftertaste of the medicine. The red-haired boy gave you a stare, moving the spoon closer to your lips. "C'mon (Name)." You pressed your lips tighter, narrowing your eyes at him.
"(Name), if you take it you can go back to playing in the snow!" Rin chirped, a bright smile on his face. You hesitantly opened your mouth and took in the syrup. Sae playfully sighed, "So you listen to Rin but not me?" He raised an eyebrow, a teasing smirk on his face. All you responded with was a "Bleh" and you stuck out your tongue.
Sae huffed and pinched your cheek lightly "Brat" You flopped back into the bed and let out a yawn, a small tear forming at the corner of your eye. "Yay! Cuddles!" Rin dropped on top of you, making you breathe out an "oof"
"Oops!" Rin rolled off you once he realized you couldn't exactly breathe. He instead wrapped his arms around you in a hug. You looked over to Sae as he was putting the cap on the bottle of medicine. "Sae-nii," You called out to him, "Hm?" He turned his head to look at you and was met with you making puppy eyes at him. Oh no, he already knew what you were planning, "No." Sae deadpanned, his mouth forming a straight line.
"Please?" You stared more intensely, Rin picked up on what you were doing and joined you in doing the puppy eyes "Please Nii-chan?" The boy pled. Sae sweatdropped before finally giving in with a sigh. "Scoot over then" The both of you quickly made space for your eldest brother, he slipped under the covers with the both of you and put an arm over you. Leaving you squished between the most special people in your life.
The snow may have made you sick and brought back confusing memories, but your brothers made everything better.

Cat-Eye [Shidou Ryusei x Reader]
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Pairing: Shidou Ryusei x GN!Reader Word Count: ~900 [Ao3 Link]
Summary: Ryusei's behavior reminds you of something...
Warnings: gender neutral reader, some suggestiveness at the end, uh petplay mentions i guess, idk man
Notes: Short little thing inspired by how his eyes dilated from slits in the anime. My violent weird little meow meow <3
Tumblr media
Ryusei's eyes were striking.
They were drowned out somewhat by the general vibrancy of his person, but they were by no means subtle. Neon pink that glowed when he got excited, with slitted pupils like a cat's; you understood why people called him a 'demon,' because it didn't seem right for a mere mortal to look so unique.
Now, those slit pupils are gone, completely blown so that there was only a thin ring of pink around them. He’s staring at you intently, only breaking his gaze for the occasional slow blink of his thick blond lashes.
You sigh, closing your book. "What is it?"
"What's what?"
"You're staring at me. And your eyes look weird. It's a little freaky." You lean towards him, trying to get a better look. Ryusei doesn’t so much as flinch at your abrupt movement, instead tilting his head closer so your noses touched. "Your pupils are huge. Are you on drugs?"
"Drugged on you, baby~"
You shove him away with a palm to his mouth, grimacing a bit as he licks your hand. Your attempt to silence him only encourages him. "You're like an aphrodisiac to me, sweetheart!" He sang. “Your pheromones are—”
For your own sanity, you cut him off by tackling him to the ground. After a few minutes of half-hearted wrestling, he pins you to the ground with ease, lying flopped on top of your body like the world’s horniest weighted blanket. Ryusei’s dopy grin and black-eclipsed eyes haven’t changed, only now they’re accompanied by a flush of rose brushed across his cheekbones.
You let out a deep sigh, expelling all the air in your body like a deflating balloon and letting your head gently thunk onto the floor. One of your hands comes up to stroke over his hair, petting over the spikes in a way that makes him purr. In turn, he grasps your waist, squeezing, intermittently tightening and loosening his grip like you were his stress toy.
The two of you lay there, in peace for a moment, soaking up the physical touch. You were not nearly as touchy as your boyfriend was, but you had acclimated to his particular form of affection well. So well, in fact, you began to automatically seek it out on your own and feel antsy when you couldn’t get your daily dose of contact. (Not that it happened often…if touch and affection was what you wanted, Ryusei spoiled you rotten with it.)
The thought causes you to smile a little, unconsciously. As bombastic as your boyfriend was, he really was sweet to you. And the way he snuggled up to you reminded you a bit of a fluffy pet.
Wait.
You sit up abruptly. Ryusei groans as his head slides down from your chest, until his chin is resting on your stomach. He looks up at you, eyebrows furrowed and lips beginning to form a pout. Before he can say anything, you grab his face with two hands, squashing his cheeks between your palms.
“You’re just a cat, aren’t you?” you say seriously.  
He blinks up at you, nonplussed.
“You like pets. You basically purr when I give you attention. You do the little tongue bleps. And the whole dilated eyes and slow blinks is how cats show they like you.” You pause. “At least, I think. Also, you try to get my attention by knocking things over sometimes. That’s cat behavior.”
Ryusei gapes at you for a moment, before he starts to cackle. Full-body, deep laughs, so strong he pulls away from your lap and into a pill bug position as he wheezes.
“Whatever,” you huff. Before you can get up and walk away, you’re snatched up by strong arms and pulled into an embrace.
“I dunno, I’m just being me,” he says, muffling his voice in the crook of your neck as you halfheartedly try to squirm away from him. “But I can be your cat if you want~”
You shudder a bit at the suggestive edge to his words. You should be desensitized to his particular lecherous method of flirting by now, but his arms were strong, and his chest was warm, and his voice was deep…and you were weak for him.
“Could I put you in cat ears, then?” you ask, playing along. “A collar? A leash? It might help keep you in check.” You run a finger down the smooth line of his neck, ghosting over his Adam’s apple as it bobs with his audible swallow.  
“Mmmm…sounds kinky, babe, I’m in~” He starts to mouth kisses along your throat. You tilt your head to give him more access, eyes flickering shut. “You could be my owner, hehe…or you could be my little mouse…my cute little snack—” At this, he opens his mouth wide, and bites down on the nape of your neck.
You let out a squeak. The heat from his mouth and from the residual throb of the bitemark melts down the line of your spine deliciously.  
He cackles. “Such an adorable mouse sound! You play the part so well.”
You use the split-second of his loosened grip to break free and flip your position, straddling him. “Bad kitty,” you scold, winding your fingers through his hair and pulling.
Ryusei lets out a lewd noise, arching his back just a little into the pain. “Oh~” he lets out a shaky breath. “Gonna punish me, hm?”
He’s staring up at you, grinning. He’s all sharp teeth (just waiting to sink into your skin again), dark, dark eyes, messy hair, and arousal-flushed cheeks. You don’t know whether you want to eat him, or if you want him to eat you.
“Maybe…or maybe I’ll give you a treat, if you’re good for me,” you purr.
“No promises~” You give another tug to his hair, before leaning in to shut him up with a proper kiss.

Temptation Through the Screen {Shidou Ryusei x Itoshi Sae x Reader}
Sae wins his away game, so you send him a video as a celebratory present...
Minors Do Not Interact, explicit smut, reader has no gendered terms used but they do use a strap-on, sex tape/sex video, pegging, bottom shidou, top reader, masturbation (sae), light spanking, established relationship, mostly me just being kinda horny for shidou's ass tbh. word count: 1500. | Ao3 version
Tumblr media
Sae has learned to be cautious opening any messages from you or Ryusei when in public. Which is why when he sees a notification pop up while he's finishing up his post-game routine in the locker room (a simple video link and a 'congrats on the win' with a heart emoji) he quite firmly ignores it.
His phone stays shoved into the pocket of his track pants until he is back at his hotel. He resolutely keeps his mind off it for as long as possible, until he is finally changed and lying in the hotel bed.
It's late. He could just go straight to sleep. His routine was disturbed and he wasn't able to take his nap today, so he is more tired than usual. He should just go to bed.
He sighs and opens up his messages.
(It disgusts him, how the two of you have such control over him.)
The video opens in selfie mode, showcasing your smug smirk from an angle that should not be as flattering as it is. Sae's attention is drawn to your rumpled shirt and bitten lips.
"Hello, Sae my love," you coo, smile widening. "We miss you a whole lot, so we're watching your game together. Isn't that sweet?"
The camera flips to showcase the TV, where Sae's game is being broadcast. The view slowly pans down, and Sae sees the back of Ryusei's head, hair loose and mussed; the perfect arch of his muscular back, tan skin dotted with mouth-sized bruises and claw marks (some of which, Sae can remember giving him). Down Ryusei's spine the camera trails, until it reaches the curve of his ass.
Sae's breath catches.
You stop your panning when you have a perfect focus on Ryusei's thick, muscular ass where it is pillowed against the cradle of your hips. You move your pelvis back by a few inches, revealing the hot pink strap you had buried to the hilt in his hole.
Sae lets out a sound, just as Ryusei whines in the video.
Sae clicks the volume button up.
Your fingers creep down, spreading Ryusei's cheeks apart to show how his lube-slick hole is fluttering and clenching around your dick.
Sae's cock twitches in his boxers. He can't keep his hand from drifting down, squeezing at his bulge to relieve some of the pressure.
It's no secret that Sae is an ass man, especially when it comes to his lovers; lovers who sadly know of his weakness, and exploit it at every opportunity.
Case in point, Sae can hear you laughing. "Are you touching yourself now, Sae baby?" you croon. You bring your hand up to lightly slap Ryusei's ass, and Sae bites down on the inside of his cheek as he watches the soft flesh ripple and flush with the impact.
You start to move your hips again, not thrusting but just grinding your strap inside of Ryusei, pressing down directly on the spot that makes him let out pornstar-lewd moans.
"Doesn't he sound pretty? All for you~" you tease. "Isn't that right, Ryu?"
"Myeah—fuck—all so Sae-chan can blow his load thinking of us," replies Ryusei, his voice a low purr. Sae can't see, but he has no doubt the demon has a lust-drunk grin on his face. He can picture the flush on his cheeks and the way his eyes roll when you hit a particularly good angle inside of him.
Sae's hand is inside his boxers now. Precum already slicks each slow stroke of his hand up and down his cock. It's been too long since he's fucked either of you; he's regressed back to horny teen boy levels of sensitivity. It's humiliating, that he's become so dependent on the two of you. Tellingly, however, the thought doesn't unsettle him enough to break his attention from the video.
You pick up the pace, properly thrusting into Ryusei's tight ass. The camera shudders a bit, before you use your other hand to anchor yourself better on his hip. Your nails bite into the tan flesh, leaving ivory white crescent marks under your grasp. Your strap flashes pink every time it leaves the clenching grip of Ryusei's hole, and the impact of your hips every time you bury yourself fully inside of him echoes with a loud slap through Sae's phone speaker.
Ryusei's cries are increasing in pitch, becoming filthier with each pump of your cock into him. Sae can hear your breathing picking up as well, soft huffs that make Sae shiver from memories of that same breath ghosting against his neck as you took him from behind with that same strap. Sae's hand picks up speed, moving almost unconsciously on his throbbing cock.
"Only a few minutes left—unh—on your game," you say, pausing your thrusts. Ryusei vocally protests, pushing his hips back onto you in an attempt to fuck himself on your dick. You click your tongue, before pulling out completely.
"What the fuck," he whines. "I was about to come!" One hand reaches behind him blindly, pawing around to try and grab the strap. You pin his hand to the small of his back, squeezing his wrist firmly.
Your voice is harsh, and just a little mocking. "Be a good boy. I told you to wait until Sae wins."
Sae can hear Ryusei's pout over the video. "C'mon, baby, we know he's gonna win, cause Sae-chan's the best, so just hurry up and fuck me already—"
He's cut off by another slap to his ass. "Shush. Wait just a minute, horny demon."
You grip the base of your strap, before teasingly circling the head of it around Ryusei's twitching hole as he begs for it.
Sae is transfixed. Ryusei's rim looks so soft and loose; if Sae was there, he would slip a few fingers in, just to feel Ryusei clench around them as his greedy hole tries to suck them in. He wishes he were there, he wishes he could dig his nails into the plush flesh of Ryusei's ass right where it was sore and flushed from your slaps. He wishes he could press against your back and grind his dripping cock between your thighs. He wants you both so badly, it itches beneath his skin. The video just isn't enough to fully sate him. He feels as if he is losing himself.
Something must change in the game; Sae can't even remember what happened at this point, and it doesn't matter when compared to what he sees on his screen. But something must have occurred, because with no warning, you slam back into Ryusei.
"You're gonna score, Sae," you breathe. "Last two minutes. I see you setting it up."
You don't speak any more, instead choosing to focus on driving your dick into Ryusei, over and over, with enough force to jolt him forward and make his ass clap every time it meets your pelvis.
Sae is so close. He rubs his thumb under the head of his cock, making his toes curl into the bed sheets.
"Gonna come—gonna come—please—please—want it so bad—please," Ryusei begs, voice breaking. "Make me come on your cock—please—"
The faint sound of cheering from the television can temporarily be heard over the sounds of sex.
"Congrats on the win, Sae," you murmur. Your hand reaches out of view to jack Ryusei's off roughly. "Come for him, Ryu~"
He cries out, shuddering as you fuck and jerk him through his orgasm. The camera is cast aside for a moment, and Sae is left with only Ryusei's debauched moans and his imagination. His cock throbs. He's so close to coming he can taste it at the back of his throat.
You pick up the camera again. Sae can feel his heartbeat thundering through every part of his body. Every extremity is electric with anticipation.
The camera is back in selfie mode, faced towards you again. Your eyes are dark with lust; your gaze makes Sae shiver. You blow the camera a cheeky kiss before bringing your hand up. You show how it's completely dripping with Ryusei's thick white come. Then, you stare dead into the camera as you stick out your soft pink tongue and lap his come up from your fingers.
Sae orgasms on the spot. It tingles deliciously through his system, sparking fireworks in his eyelids as he creams his boxers.
When he comes back to himself, he blinks blearily before focusing back in on the video, loathe to miss anything.
You have Ryusei by the hair, pulling his head close to yours and making his back curve into an incredible arch. His eyeliner is smudged with tears, his eyes hazy and warm with lingering arousal. He smiles dumbly at the camera. He looks wrecked. The sight makes Sae's spent dick twitch.
Ryusei's voice is dripping thickly with lust and love. "I love you Sae-chan~"
"I love you too, Sae baby," you say. "Hope you enjoyed~"
The video clicks off, after just a glimpse of you pulling Ryusei into a sloppy kiss.
Sae leans back, phone slipping out of his hand as he flops onto the bed. He stares at the ceiling for a moment.
He's still horny. The itch underneath his skin (his desire for his lovers) has only been exacerbated.
Fucking damn it.
He needs more of you both.
Sae reaches for his phone again and hits the 'call' button.
