[y/n] bit her lip as she stood on the corner of the street with her phone in her clammy hands. It wasn't like her to be so nervous like this but today was a big day for her. It wasn't a normal Saturday afternoon for her here in Japan. Today was special.

The sun was high in the sky, and it was blazing hot. The sweat that beaded on her skin was not only from the heat but the anxiousness she felt waiting for the friends she was supposed to meet up with soon. They seemed to be running late or maybe she was just way too early for once. Or maybe she had gotten the designated meeting spot wrong? Or they stood her up-

"That's her!" A shout jerked her out of the intrusive trance she was in, forcing her to focus on her surroundings. Her [e/c] eyes widened when she was greeted by the intense gaze of six pairs of eyes. They examined her, glazing over her appearance, resting their eyes on her face as they approached her quickly.

A whoosh of wind flew past her and a face appeared before her, so close that she could feel his breath on her face. His pretty, light eyes gazed into her soul with a bright smile to accompany it. "[y/n]-san, do you remember me?"

His tone was energetic and sweet, almost as if he was hoping to the gods that she had remembered him somehow. Despite this being the first time they had met in person, he really did hope she would have at least remembered his name or something close to it. He hadn't been gone that long, right?

The confused look on her face erupted panic within him. All of a sudden, the confusion washed away as she pointed her index finger at him in recognition. "Naruhaya-kun?" [y/n] knew se had gotten it right based on the way his expression brightened and his body did a strange dance of excitement. "It's nice to meet you! Your hair is a really cool color!"

He reached up, running his calloused fingers through the puffy blond locks that he suddenly felt proud about. "Thanks. Your hair is pretty cool too." As much as he wanted to reach out and touch the closest strand to him, he was cut off by a husky voice that interjected on behalf of the group.

"Sorry to interrupt, but we want to say hi too," the tall, buff ginger said with a neutral face, not really caring that he had butted into the small moment Naruhaya and [y/n] were having. The sight of his prominent and tone muscles made her lips part, knowing damn well who this man was. "Hello."

[y/n] beamed nervously. "Hi, Kunigami-kun. You're way bigger than I expected you to be." The words slipped out of her mouth naturally and it was a little too late to fix her wording. Naruhaya snickered—only to be smacked in the chest by [y/n] shortly after.

"I mean, uh, I guess," Kunigami trailed off, rubbing the back of his neck when a slight tint formed on his cheeks. He assumed it was her way of complimenting him, which made it harder for him to function normally around her. "It's nic-"

"Hey! Do you remember me? It's me, Imamura!" The brunette boy with round cheeks said. His smile was somewhat flirtatious as he pushed past others to stand beside her, bowing politely. The sight of this behavior made Kunigami and Naruhaya shoot him a flat look since he was talking about the dirty messages girls were sending him about two minutes before they arrived. "You look a whole lot prettier in real life. Sheesh."

"Pfft," she giggled, covering her mouth. It was her first time being openly complimented like this, especially from a boy who was quite cute. Her best defense was laughing shyly and saying thank you as if she actually thought he was telling the truth. "Thank you, Ima-kun."

"Ima?? Why the hell does he get a nickname?" Naruhaya grunted, pushing Imamura away from [y/n] who didn't mind him sticking a little close. Although, she could hear his phone going off like crazy so it was becoming a little bothersome. It soon turned into a small tug of war thing between Naruhaya and Imamura who were a little too prideful for their own sake. They were pretty lucky that [y/n] was as patient as she was today or else she would have beat the crap out of both of them in the middle of this street and called it "tough love."

"Quit it." Kunigami demanded as he pushed them away, pulling [y/n] free of their grasps. He flashed her an apologetic look with a shake of the head. "Sorry about them."

[y/n] held up her hands in defense. "It's fine! I'm just not used to all the attention."

"It gets easier." The new voice made her eyes flicker in their direction, meeting the eyes of a handsome boy she knew nothing about. I mean, this was the first time meeting them all but she knew at least something about them beforehand. For him, she had no idea who he was or what his name was. All she knew was that he was pretty freakin' sexy.

A smile spread across his lips, the corners of his eyes crinkling ever so slightly. "Hey, I'm Kira Ryousuke! We haven't met before, so it's fine that you don't know my name!"

"When is he gonna quit the nice guy act?" Imamura whispered to Naruhaya, eyeing Kira suspiciously after his whole breakdown at Blue Lock when he was kicked out long ago. This was their first time seeing him after his departure a while back, so no one really knew how to act around him. They were all different people back then.

"When are you gonna quit the nice guy act?" Naruhaya whispered back through narrowed eyes. The two started quietly whispering about what to shut up about when they were around [y/n].

"Nice to meet you, Kira-kun." [y/n] smiled easily, masking the realization that flooded her brain. This is the dude Isagi nailed in the face with a soccer ball and got kicked out of Blue Lock. Oh fawk.

"Kuon and Iemon couldn't make it, so it's just us for today." Kunigami announced, earning a small cheer from Naruhaya who was glad that he wouldn't have to see Kuon again. Despite his redemption arc, Naruhaya was still a little iffy around him after his betrayal. It was a shock that Kunigami could be so calm around Kuon after what he did. #grown

Checking his watch, Kira pointed behind him with his thumb. "Shall we get going?"

"Yes!"

"I'm going to shove this gun up your ass and blow your fucking intestines up into your mouth." Naruhaya shouted as he repositioned the gun in his hands, closing one eye to peek through the scope and focus his sights on the man before him. His finger rested on the trigger, holding the fate of this man's life with a teeny tiny push. Of course, Naruhaya wasn't the type to show mercy. "Go suck your dad!"

"Naruhaya, please-" [y/n] clenched the hem of his shirt as she crouched beside him, covering her face with her hands. His shouts were so loud that she could practically feel it echoing in her head. It didn't help that he was saying such vulgar things in a place like this.

"Back it up, [y/n]. I'm about to show this man's asshole what metal taste like."

"Alright, that's enough games." Kunigami snatched the toy gun out of his hand, putting it back on the stand that connected it to the zombie shooter game Naruhaya had been hogging for the last half an hour. His shouts were progressively getting louder and more vulgar as he continued to lose the game to some ugly zombie that was out to get him and his entire friggin' bloodline. If he kept it up any longer, they surely would have been kicked out.

Standing up straighter, [y/n] held onto the tickets she had been gifted (Kunigami was killing it on a ball game that he tried for fun and gave her all the tickets for no reason) while trailing behind Naruhaya and Kunigami who were searching for Imamura and Kira to eat lunch.

It was a good thing they let [y/n] pick the hang out destination because everyone was more or less satisfied with it. Upon arriving at the arcade, they all paid for their way in (Kunigami paid for Naruhaya) and began their day of playing games in this not-so-crowded room full of machines and whatnot.

Imamura got carried away with whack-a-mole after a small 8 year old boy had challenged him to a game. Spoiler alert: Imamura didn't win once.

Kira hung around with [y/n] to try whatever games she had suggested but ended up stuck at those coin games where you drop the coin and attempt to make the other coins inside fall off the ledge. He was doing so well that he didn't want to break his winning streak ad continued playing even after she had gotten up to check out other games.

Naruhaya and Kunigami stuck with [y/n] for majority of the day, staying by her side to ensure that she wouldn't have gotten lost somehow. If you wanted a clearer picture of it, Naruhaya and [y/n] were busy playing games and being happy little children while Kunigami watched over them and held their things whenever needed. He would occasionally participate in the games if it piqued his interest enough. Reminder: Do not—I repeated—do not try to compete with Kunigami in that basketball game. He will wreck you and not feel bad about it. #getrekt

"These wings are fire," Naruhaya beamed as he snatched another wing off the plate in the center of the table, shoving it into his pocket to bring home later.

[y/n] wrinkled her nose at the sight of that and reached down to yank the wing out of his pocket. "Dude, that's nasty. I'll buy more wings for you later. Just eat it now."

Naruhaya batted his eyelashes playfully. He smirked and leaned in her directions. "I think I might fall in love with you if you buy me three boxes of wings later."

"In your dreams. Two is the max." She rolled her eyes, shoving a crispy fry in her mouth to munch on as she thought of a new topic to talk about. Luckily for her, Kira slid into the seat across from them and pushed a drink in front of her. The girl cocked an eyebrow at the suspicious red drink. "What's this?"

"Shirley Temple," He said with a small smile. The male sipped on his own Shirley Temple contently, smacking Naruhaya's hand away when he tried to snatch it away. "I'll buy dessert."

"I want cake." Imamura demanded, shaking Kira's shoulders lightly. It didn't take long for him to order that cake and devour it the moment it arrived. He did offer a forkful to [y/n] who shook her head and sipped on the delicious Shirley Temple. By the time her drink had hit halfway, she slid it in Naruhaya's direction and grinned, snatching a wing from the plate in the center.

"I may be in love with [y/n]."

Kunigami slumped in his seat with a small chuckle. "Don't get ahead of yourself."

"I had fun today." Kira admitted as he messed with the straw of his drink. He refused to meet everyone's gaze once he began uttering embarrassing words he'd probably regret later. "This is the first time in a while since I had fun."

The table got rather quiet as they looked at one another. Truth be told, this really was the first time they had all felt okay since leaving Blue Lock. Everyone had their own circumstances and being kicked out only made things worse. This meetup had made everything okay, even if it was only for one day. They were just glad to feel happy once again.

"This mood got heavy. New topic." Naruhaya said as he sipped on the remainder of [y/n]'s Shirley Temple obnoxiously loud. It elicited a laugh out of everyone at the table before they all began to fall into an easy conversation about anything that came to mind.

"Oh! That reminds me. Can we take a picture together? I want to rub it in everyone's face that I met you guys." [y/n] grinned maliciously. They all agreed almost instantly, wanting to spite the boys who were practically locked up and unable to meet sweet ol' [y/n] who they had all to themselves right now. Imamura and Kira came around the table to stand behind her while Kunigami and Naruhaya squeezed in the frame on either sides of her. She held the photo steady and smiled.

"You're stepping on my foot."

"Why do you have a gorilla grip on my hair?"

"Stop breathing in my friggin' ear, bro!"

"I think I blinked."

"Your knee is almost to go up my ass. Chill."

"Ow! Who the hell pinched my nipple?"

Ten minutes later, they managed to get a good photo after they were kicked out of the arcade for being too loud.

"So this is where we part," [y/n] said as she playfully sniffled, dramatically wiping her eyes as if she was crying. The boys chuckled, finding her reaction to be quite funny and somewhat of a reflection of how they felt internally. As much as they didn't want it to end, they had to return to their own lives soon. "We should hang out again. I had a lot of fun with you guys. Maybe Iemon-kun and Kuon-kun can make it next time, and we can all hang together."

"My sister is calling. I gotta go." Naruhaya said as he checked the time and realized that he was supposed to be home soon in time for dinner. Flashing everyone a gleeful smile, he turned on his heels and waved at them over his shoulder with the hand that didn't hold the bag full of chicken wings and expensive dessert they had all pitched in to buy for him. "See ya around! Thanks for today!"

"Bye bye, Asahi-kun!" [y/n] called out as she waved wildly at the boy who took off with the night.

"Shit, I feel like crying." Naruhaya murmured under his breath as he disappeared into the street, knowing that this would probably be the last time he'd ever see them.

"I'm gonna head out too. Good night, you guys." Imamura grinned as he waved, leaving with his phone to his ear to call for his family to come get him.

Turning to Kira, she smiled and tilted her head to the side. He spoke up first.

"I should probably get going. Will you be fine on your own?" Kira asked with a raised eyebrow and a neutral smile. For once, he felt like he didn't have to force himself to be happy because he genuinely felt alright. It was a blissful feeling.

Kunigami stepped forward with a polite nod. "I'll take her home."

Kira nodded. "Alright. Good night. Thanks for today."

"Night, Kira!"

Once he was out of sight, [y/n] folded her hands behind her back and turned to Kunigami with a small smile. Jokingly, she said, "and then there were two."

Her words made him chuckled quietly. Instead of saying something clever back, he stepped away from her and glanced back. "Let's go home?"

The girl smiled softly and nodded. "Let's go."

With the dark sky above them littered with thousands of stars and gray clouds, it almost felt ethereal to be here right now.

"I feel like I have to throw up."

"Are you good? You didn't eat anything weird, right?"

"I ate Asahi-kun's pocket wing."
