"have you already decided who you're choosing?" aryu asked as he came into the bathroom to wash his face beside you. "yeah, i decided while ego was explaining everything" you hummed, passing the toothpaste to aryu since you knew he brushed his teeth while letting the face wash settle on his skin.

aryu quietly thanked you, "you chose rin, didn't you?"
you looked over at him and slowly nodded, "mhm how'd you know?"

he only scoffed and began brushing his teeth, forcing you to wait upon his answer. you pulled your hair up into a loose ponytail and picked up the mouthwash to use.

"we've been on his team for a while, figured you aren't quite ready to leave his side yet.."

you swished the mouthwash around a few more times before spitting it out, "what does that mean? i could've easily chosen another team, y'know"

"so why didn't you?" aryu asked quickly and glanced at you through the mirror, "help me with my hair?" he asked softly and you nodded, pulling over a stool for him to sit on.

"dunno, just didn't really want to have to adapt quickly to a completely different team.. hairtie?"

aryu passed you the one previously on his wrist and sighed, "guess so, but it was still obvious that you were gonna choose rin"

"no it wasn't.." you grumbled before pulling aryu's braid to the side and pulling out the sections he normally used to frame his face. "you say that like i'm attached to him or something.."

"kinda seems like you are sometimes" aryu sighed before standing up, "but then again, rin seems like he's grown.. something for you as well. whether it be interest or attachment.. who knows" and he made his quick stride towards the exit.

you looked at yourself in the mirror and watched as your nose scrunched up in confusion, "what does that even mean?" you mumbled to yourself, "wait, aryu-!"

an involuntary groan sounded from you as you felt toothpaste sticking to your arm. "asshole" you said under your breath, being forced to be left behind to clean up the mess.

you sat quietly in the monitoring room, sneaking a quick glance at the clock before watching the screen that showed rins plays. "i'm not attached.." you muttered to yourself with an annoyed pout.

on the screen, rin had just scored the first goal with you and aryu as his teammates. you remembered his long ass speech that made everyone believe he was insane and then how shocked it left everyone.

"you having fun there?" bachira's voice sent shivers down your spine, quickly grabbing the remote and changing it to a random match. "uh huh! this.. karasu guy is really.. cool..?"

bachira laughed softly and sat down beside you, "it's two in the morning, ya know"

you slowly nodded and looked over at him and he immediately noticed how tired you looked. "you're really having that much trouble choosing a team?" he laughed, "if you're so indecisive, just choose rins. you know how well you two work together"

"no i don't!" you said almost defensively and quickly apologized at bachira's surprised expression. "it's just.. i don't know how well we work together" you huffed, "and i don't have an attachment to rin!"

bachira studied your face as you crossed your arms. you were pouting, obviously thinking about a not so fond memory with a blush dusting your cheeks. with the light from the screens illuminating your face, he couldn't help but think about how pretty you looked.

"now who said you have an attachment?" he smiled softly, "i don't think you have an attachment.."

you looked over at him with your pout still evident on your face, "really?" you asked and bachira hummed with a short nod. "don't really see why you'd have an attachment to him. he's real mean to you, after all.."

bachira stared at the screens on the wall but you knew he wasn't really watching what was playing. he had a far off look in his eyes and your eyebrows furrowed in confusion at his quick change in attitude.

"i guess you're right.." you muttered, "it's just aryu said that and i couldn't think back to a time where i even portrayed having an attachment to anyone- especially someone like rin.."

"he is really mean to me, isn't he.." you said softly and hugged your knees against your chest.

bachira looked over at you and frowned slightly, wondering where your quick attitude change came from. "how about you just sleep on it then" he was already smiling when you looked over at him and nodded, "yeah.. ok. im real tired anyway"

you stood up first and pulled bachira up to his feet. you quickly lost your balance and would have fallen if it wasn't for bachira's firm grip that snaked around your waist. you looked up at him, suddenly out of breath and breathed out a quiet 'thank you'.

he offered his signature grin and nodded towards the exit, "mhm. now let's go" he said before pulling you along, lacing your fingers together as you walked down the hallway together.
