Headcanons

His birthday is August 21th, he's a Leo and his blood type is A+

He's slightly shorter than Gouenji.

He has white hair and blue eyes, though he would prefer them to be red like his mom's eyes.

He's originally from Osaka, and lived there until he was 5, then he moved to Inazuma with Inui.

He comes from a rich family, and I mean Tony Stark rich.

The reason of him moving was because his uncle wanted to release him and his sisters from the strict and abusive environment created by Ryouma's expectations for his children.

Ryou started playing soccer at the age of 5, thanks to his best friend Zato Tezuka and her sister.

He's talented enough to be recognized as a soccer prodigy by many.

He's also talented at playing piano and chess (thanks to Ryouma) and at playing guitar and singing (thanks to Inui pushing him to try things he's curious about instead of waiting for someone to tell him what to learn or practice)

Due to her sister Nanako's career as a successful designer Ryou has participated in a few runways and also modeling work for magazines, and most recently a few music concerts with some famous idols around his age.

Due to a falling out with Tezuka right before starting junior high, Ryou decided to quit playing soccer. Thanks to that decision he chose Raimon, as it was well known that it didn't have a soccer club. (Too bad he transferred during Endou's generation)

He originally joins the Chess Club and becomes its president by betting the title with the current one.

During his first year he didn't share classroom with any canon character. In his 2nd year he shares class with Aki, Ootani, Endou, Gouenji and Handa.

He officially joins the soccer club right before the match against Shuuyo Meito/Otaku.

He enjoys annoying Natsumi due to her snobby attitude, but he'll be the first to stand in front of her to protect her if things start to get dangerous.

He tends to get too physical. Not in an inappropriate way, but he's too huggy when he starts considering someone close.

He's good friends with almost everybody (except Someoka and Hikari*) and his best friends are Kazemaru, Gouenji and Endou.

His love interests are Haruna and Natsumi. Haruna because she's cute and energetic, and Natsumi because for some reason he finds her cute when she gets all bossy and when she tries to annoy him back when they start bickering.

He's a HUGE fan of the Guilty Gear saga, so his techniques are copies of techniques from his favorite characters Ky Kiske & Sol Badguy.

And by huge I mean that he has trained to the point of perfecting his own equivalents to both Ky's and Sol's Dragon Installs (If Kozoumaru can have his own AliExpress Super Saiyan version, then Ryou can have his own TEMU Dragon Installs)

And It goes even outside soccer, since he styles his hair into a long thin ponytail just like Sol Badguy's and wears his uniform much like Sin Kiske's outfit, with the jacket tied to his waist, a black tank top and blue wristbands.

He's also a big fan of manga and anime, specially Fairy Tail , so he also gets some of his techniques from there.

There is only one and only ONE teacher in all of Raimon that can keep him under check.

Aki’s Birthday

Organised Aki's birthday is the most difficult thing Raimon's teams has done before. Fighting alien was almost easy. First they need to find a date, in theory it musted be simple since a birthday is a date. But this year her's was a wednesday so they had to choose between two week-ends. Endou tries his best to have the maximum of persons. Aki deserves it. She has had taking care of all the soccer players since the first day, during all the adventure, without hesitation. He really wants all their friend being there. They gonna be thirty.

Second, the arty is a surprise, so Aki can't know anything. She is the one who usually organised the surprise party. More than once Endou thoughts asked her, but every time Kidou stop him.

Tonight is the time, Haruna is the one who is charged to bring Aki without her noticing.

« I promise you, we go at Endou's home to take papers and we go to see the movie »

« If we go there, there aren't any chance we will be on time. »

« Trust me please. »

Aki huffs with a smile and follows her friend. They arrived at Endou place few minutes later, Haruna is really excited. She moves a lot, she looks around a lot. She really wants that Aki don't she anything that can make her doubt. The boys aren't really discreet, she already has seen bikes wich is badly hidden. For god sake Aki doesn't seem to look around. She talks about the movie  that they are supposed to see.

Haruna hits the door wich open without resistance. The room is deep dark when Haruna comes in.

«��Are you sure that we can come in ? It seems like there is nobody inside. »

Her friend doesn't say anything, so Aki follows her. The room lights up.

« HAPPY BIRTHDAY »

Aki's eyes are wet. All her friends are here, even Ichinose is here. Domon and Endou come to her and take her in their arms. Everybody wave their hands at her, a cake is on the table. Balloons are tie all around the room, some of them are on the floor. Gifts wait for her next to the cake. Aki can't think well. She cried a little. Endou and Domon haven't released her, she internally grates them for that. All of this feel a little too much, she doesn't think she deserves all this attention. Natsumi finally releases her and gives her a little box with a flow on it. Aki is really uncomfortable.

« Don't be so shy, take it ! The teams put all his heart for finding you this gift. »

« We really wish it's gonna please you, it's Kazemaru idea »

«  I just notice your watch doesn't wok last time, explains the blue-haired-boy »

Aki take the gift with a big smile and a grateful word for everyone. In the box there is a smart watch. The watch is really pretty, light green and very feminine.

« It's too much ! I don't know how to thank you all »

« Don't say anything stupid. You already do a lot for all of us, says Kidou. »

« Yes, without you Raimon wouldn't be a thing. You were the first to believe in me and my project, you were the only one who tae care of all the boring stuff for a while, smiles Endou »

« You follow us in all our adventure, always bring us up. You are never in a bad mood or not in our side. You deserve this party »

Everybody agree with the last sentence, and Aki is really red. Nobody thanks her for that before, and she never expected it nether. She always makes it with all her heart and without ulterior motive. As silent doesn't want to go away, Haruna starts the music and softs the light. The boys understand the signal and start to dance or just do something.

The party lasts a pretty long time. Aki has thanked every one of his friends for the gifts, for the time they take for her. Domon was the last she thanked.

-I don't believe you have made it for me.

-Aki it's the most normal thing. You are a very good friend, you take care of us daily. Sometime you need to realize what you do and accepted that we have to return the favor.

-You are right. So I will just accept the compliment, thanked you a last time and going home.

Aki is speechless. She gives him a hug before going home.

Chapter Info

Name: Why are you so noisy? Words: 2976 Warnings: The first part can be boring, because is the nomination. Summary: The new Inazuma Japan Team is going to be chosen, who would be part of the time this year?

[Memory 04] Why are you so noisy?

“I will proceed to name the players who have won a place in the Inazuma Japan team this year to participate in the International Championship. When I name you go down here and line up.” An overwhelming silence was made in the stadium where they were going to announce to the members of the football team that would go to the World Cup, until then it had been noisy because of the voices and laughters of more than one hundred young people from all parts of the country who had already attended, either because they expected to be on the team or because they did not want to miss the moment when a friend was chosen to represent their country.

“In the position of goalkeeper, Endou Mamoru …”

They heard a shout of joy not far from them, Endou had jumped up with his fists up and was running towards the football field, as if it were not obvious that he was to be chosen and it would have really surprised him, being him, surely it was. Endou was the only player, along with Gouenji and Kidou, that Fudou knew had a place, they simply could not include them, they were the three players with more merits. He clenched his hands nervously, he hoped that he had also achieved it that year, after all that had happened... At his side he saw Sakuma and Genda even more expectant and sweaty than him. If he thought about it coldly, his games with the Teikoku team were perfect and had attracted the interest of many people, they were also very good players.

“And Genda Koujirou.”

The boy sitting on the other side of Fudou roared in excitement without being able to restrain himself and hugged the white-haired boy on his right.

“You did! You did it, Genda!”

A faint smile had appeared on Fudou's lips, as he watched sideways at his friend who was hurrying to get to the field, afraid they would change their minds and put another goalkeeper in their place. The previous year Genda wasn’t in the national team. He snorted, sure he was going to be unbearable for a time of the joy of being on the team.

“In the defense position, Kazemaru Ichirouta, Fubuki Shirou, Kogure Yuuya, Kabeyama Heigorou, Handa Shinichi and Kurimatsu Teppei.”

The called boys were going down, some of them had real tears of happiness, in fact all but Fubuki cried from the excitement of being selected, the most Handa since the previous year wasn’t even one of the players to be considered. So far Fudou had not really been surprised with any of the elections, maybe he did not expect so much that Handa managed to stay that year in the nationals but the boy had worked hard together with Raimon Team, and had improved a lot despite continuing not to stand out especially in something; but Fudou thought that was fine, surely Handa was the most complete player of all and his individual game would become stronger and stronger if they knew how to direct it well. He also knew that if Tachimukai was not among the chosen goalkeepers it was because he had been severely injured shortly before the ceremony and could not play, although he was certain that if he recovered in time they would include him in the team, he was not only a very good goalkeeper but he earned everyone's affection quickly. On the other hand, Tsunami, Tobitaka and Hijikata had passed the age allowed to play in that league, but they had remained in the League of the High School. Like Nishikage, Saginuma and Mizukamiya, rivals of the National during the last year and who had remained in the Japanese senior team.

“In the position of midfielder…”

Fudou swallowed, that was his position, he noticed a cold sweat that ran down his neck and a warm hand grabbed his, Kidou had brows more frowned than ever and had automatically grabbed the hand of the brunette, although his sight behind those glasses was immovable in the man who spoke in the middle of the field.

“Kidou Yuuto” Fudou heard a sigh of relief from the boy with cinnamon hair and rolled his eyes, which a fool were all of them “”Kiyama Tatsuya, Midorikawa Ryuuji” a shouted across the stadium broke the silence of the place and they saw the green-haired boy who had hugged all his friends and jumped more than excited,”Inamori Asuto, Nosaka Yuuma, Hiura Kirina and …”

Fudou's eyes closed and that hand tightened even more, a knot had been made his stomach and heart beat with fear.

“Ichihoshi Hikaru.”

The brunette boy opened his mouth without anything coming out and felt it sink into a pit; he wasn’t chosen. The hand that squeezed him grabbed him harder, his owner's mouth had opened in stupefaction. No, it could not be. Fudou let go and hid his head in his hands, quite annoyed and disappointed with himself, he had not succeeded, he had not succeeded. He noticed the eyes of his Teikoku teammates and a buzz of fury grew inside him and he covered his ears, he didn't want to be pitied! He didn't want to be looked at! Why didn't everyone disappear !?

"Kidou, you should go down," Sakuma murmured, he had changed seats when Genda left and looked palely at the brunettet.

"But…"

"Don’t worry, Kidou, do what you should do," Fudou growled without raising his head as he struggled not to cry from frustration, that Kidou stayed there only made things worse.

Kidou left with great discomfort, despite having been chosen he did not feel cheerful, quite the opposite, his heart ached.

“In the position of forward, Gouenji Shuuya, Utsunomiya Toramaru, Someoka Ryuugo, Haizaki Ryouhei, Kira Hiroto, Matsuno Kuusuke and Sakuma Jirou.”

Sakuma opened his only visible eye and winced. Fudou looked at him sideways; yes, he was excited, but the look that Fudou discovered in his eye when he looked at him made him understand that despite that he was not happy. They couldn't be without him after all. Sakuma also left and he was left alone, the rest of the Teikoku team was behind and they were still watching him, some had begun to murmur with indignation.

“They are idiots, why have they not included it?” he heard Narukami say.

"Fudou is one of the best strategists in the country ... The best with Kidou would dare to say," Doumen growled.

“Finally …” the bustle that had begun to be made in the stadium disappeared again, nobody expected any more announcement “at the post of libero …”

Fudou raised his eyebrow with his face still buried in his hands. It was not usual for a team to have a libero, it was a position of great responsibility and creativity in the game and there were not many people who could achieve it successfully, trust and teamwork were indispensable, as was an agile mind with great ability to analyze, the libero carried the hopes of his team on his shoulders, it was a figure of faith.

“Fudou Akio.”

Fudou opened his eyes in amazement, it took him a long time to assimilate, had he heard right? Had he been appointed in the position of libero? A deafening bellow of all his companions upon receiving the news rose from the field, when he looked up and still without believing that, he discovered that Kidou was smiling from ear to ear and raised his fist towards him, he also smiled and stood up to go to meet with his teammates, although before he went through a round of claps, hugs and whistles of the Teikoku team that seemed to be radiant with emotion. 

Had he really really heard correctly? Was he going to be a libero? Was he going to be the libero?

“As captain, Endou Mamoru and sub-captain, Kiyama Tatsuya. The coaches will be Zhao Jinyun and Kudou Michiya.”

Fudou walked slowly to the field, he did not want to appear desperate, but as soon as he set foot on the grass he saw that several companions threw themselves to hug him.

“What scare you had given us, Fudou!” exclaimed Genda with tears hugging him with a tackle that almost knocks him down.

“Congratulations, Fudou! Now you'll have to be a responsible boy” Sakuma laughed, punching him in the chest.

“Let's play football, Fudou!” shouted Endou hugging him so hard that Fudou thought he was going to break his back.

“We'll be back in the field together, buddy!” Someoka ruffled his hair at his mock disgust as he ran his arm around his shoulders.

Kidou said nothing, but stayed there, smiling; but the boy with turquoise eyes didn't need anything else. All the words he didn't say were written on his lips. And that smile was better than anything else, a warm feeling had replaced the dark oppression of moments before.

The boy with cinnamon hair was the one who had shouted loudest of all when they had named his friend, not for nothing he was the one who was most pleased with his nomination. For a terrible moment he feared he should fight without him... and found no emotion in it. At that point, playing without Fudou was unthinkable for him.

Fudou shrugged his shoulders trying not to seem exceptionally excited, otherwise they might believe that he had not hoped to stay on the team and therefore he did not trust his abilities, that would begin his work as a libero very badly.

They were instructed to return to the stadium for the nomination of the Women's League team and then meet with their coaches. That was equally exciting.

Norika, Touko, Rika, Reina and Takanashi were among other girls in the team, but nobody was surprised, there were not so many female players and they were exceptionally good. They would be in command of Hitomiko and to everyone's surprise Megane was going to be one of their managers.

The boys went to meet with the coaches although on the way their friends stopped them to congratulate them. Fubuki could barely let go of his brother Atsuya, who hugged him tightly and shouted at him that next time he would also be on the team. The appearance of Atsuya had been the news of the year, Fubuki's younger brother had managed to survive the car accident years before, but he had lost his memory and it was not until he recovered that he began desperately searching for his older brother until he found him. They had barely fitted themselves with such joy when Fubuki had told them! Although as he had not been playing football for a long time, he did not have the necessary level for the international championship.

In the dressing room the coaches made the team managers Aki, Haruna, Fuyuka, Anna and Tsukushi give the boys the uniform. No one was surprised by Natsumi's absence, she had asked to be the manager of Little Gigant again.

They were also instructed about their training that would begin in two days and where they would stay for it. The same place as the previous year, a residence on the outskirts of the city with large training camps.

“Why are we so many players on the team, coach Kudou, coach Zhao?” asked Nosaka strangely.

“Last year there were several casualties during the championship and substitutions had to be made. Each substitution breaks the pace of the team. In this way there will be no need to bring someone outside to replace and lower the level we expect for the Internationals.”

“How many casualties do you expect?”

“This year there are several teams with very dangerous games.”

"Surely half of you will leave on the way" the coach from China laughed without giving it much importance.

That was received with great tension, how many of them would be able to reach the final? Because everyone pointed to the final. Each of them thought that he would not be one of those who would leave.

The boys went to celebrate the International Team nomination with their friends, Tsunami and Tobitaka congratulated Fudou and Someoka effusively and entrusted their hopes of winning the tournament. 

“You have to win for us, guys! Show what we rebel boys are capable of!”

“Fudou, Someoka, we count on you.”

“Of course, and you put Japan in a good place with the seniors.”

“Why are you so noisy?”

The four boys beat each other with laughter and began talking about their opinions regarding both teams.

Tachimukai approached Genda with his plaster leg and held out his hand, he shook it with great determination.

“I count on you to protect the goal of Inazuma Japan.”

“I’m going to protect it with my life!”

"You don’t need to go so far, Genda" Sakuma sighed in exasperation at his side.

During the small celebration, Fudou did not miss that Kidou kept watching him from time to time, every time he caught him, a mocking smile appeared on the lips of the second strategist. Although perhaps it was not so rare, his eyes also turned to the goggle boy who spoke with Toramaru and Kurimatsu. He couldn't help it.

It started getting late and the boys headed to their homes or hotels. 

"I accompany you home, Fudou," said the boy with cinnamon hair and blue rubber goggles.

Fudou looked at him with a mute question in his eyes and Kidou shrugged. Fudou said nothing more about it, when it was late according to the criteria of the boy always accompanied him to his house, and from there he asked to be picked up by car. Although it sometimes bothered him in the deep it didn't bother him, it was weird.

On the way they didn't talk much; but none of them cared, a trust between them had grown during the last year that allowed them to remain in a silence that connected more than a thousand words. They had learned to read on their faces, their gestures, their silences and their stories.

They had shared a lot together, in their training, in their matches... they had learned to be in sync.

They reached the building where Fudou lived and went inside, waiting until the car would arrive. They barely exchanged some trivial phrases regarding the team members. They were sitting on the stairs that went up to the upper floors, Fudou's hand rested on Kidou's.

The car reached the door and Kidou got up, that was the moment they liked least, when he had to leave. Fudou stayed sat. Seeing him.

“See you the day after tomorrow, Fudou.”

“Yes.”

Kidou took a couple of steps but then he turned, his cheeks were a little red, he seemed troubled by a thought he couldn't express, as if he couldn't find words for what he wanted to say. Fudou watched him in silence, allowing him that time without interrupting, a strange kindness on his part.

“Facing the World without you would not have been worth it.”

Fudou raised an eyebrow.

“Did you doubt that I would be on the team, Kidou-kun?”

“What!? Of course not!”

Fudou got up and reduced the distance between them, his forearm resting on the wall being very close to Kidou, with the bodies almost stucked together. With his other hand he lowered his glasses and looked at those eyes that appealed to him so much, although there was some anger in his turquoise eyes. 

“Tell it again to the face!”

“I had no doubt that you would enter the team.”

“Not even when they said all the positions?”

Kidou's lip trembled a little.

“Tsk ... liar.”

“They couldn't not include you, you are fundamental to the team.”

“None are indispensable, Kidou-kun.”

“You are for me. You are like a breath of fresh air that oxygenates my blood and my brain.”

Fudou looked surprised and laughed. Kidou looked away annoyed that he laughed, felt his pulse fastening and had a hard time stopping himself fromhis desire to jump over the brunette.”

“What a weird things you say, Kidou-kun. I’m gonna think you like me.”

Kidou raised an eyebrow, although his ears had inevitably turned red and his heart began to beat even faster, realizing that he had to force the expression of indifference on his face he knew there was something that did not fit. That time was the first time that Fudou mocked him that way, although over the years there would be many more times.

“Don't give yourself so much credit, Fudou.”

“Whatever.”

Fudou stared into his eyes for a moment, the hand with which he did not lean against the wall rose to Kidou's face and stroked his cheek with an unusual softness, Kidou was left without air, that contact was as tender as unexpected. He wished he didn't take his hand off his face.

“I did believe that I wasn’t chosen. I felt so disappointed ... I thought I would not be able to run after the ball with the team ... that I would not be able to run with you.” His face reflected a very sad expression and Kidou, who watched him silently until that moment hugged him. Fudou buried his head in his neck. It smelled good, although he didn't wear a perfume, but he didn't need a perfume, Kidou's smell was pleasant, he always smelled clean, like a new book and a touch of sweat that Fudou really liked.

They stayed that way until the sound of a car horn made them separate quickly, as if they were afraid someone might find them that way.

“Let's play football, Fudou.”

Kidou had stretched his arm with his fist clenched so that the brunette would bump fist.

“Let's play football, Kidou.” Fudou's fist gave a soft blow to the other boy and he left after hearing another honk.

An EnKaze story where Endou didn't catch Kazemaru on time and Kazemaru hit his head on the metal of the goal post.

Be careful... Kaze!

Another tough morning for Endou. He turned off his alarm and got up idly from his bed, with his eyes still closed. Sunlight was radiating him, his eyes were heavy and he was barely moving, but he had no choice and went to the bathroom to refresh himself. As he was about to fall asleep on the toilet, he heard the melody of his phone and rushed to see what is happening, it was Kazemaru who was calling him.

- Good morning, Endou-kun! Are you ready for our practice?

His voice was so energetic that it irritated the goalkeeper. He groaned and went inside the bathroom again, with his phone.

- Yes, I am. I envy you, Kazemaru-kun. You are always so energetic and productive in the morning and it's almost annoying... how are you doing it?

- I just adore mornings! They are fresh, bright and are the start of a new better-

- Yeah, Yeah... I know you are a morning person. I will close now, I have to do my morning routine.

- Sure. But don't be late!

Endou closed the phone and continued his business. It was 9:28 am in the morning and he had almost no will to move, but he and Kazemaru agreed to have a morning practice together at 10. He had some time to dress up and eat, without rushing. He completed his bathroom rituals and went in the kitchen to have something for breakfast. His mother had already left some sandwiches and fruits, in addition, his favourite peach juice. His eyes sparkled and he began to eat, finishing everything in only two bites, and he decided it is going to be a great idea to drink his juice in his room. He laid on the bed and scrolled down on a random sports site that he found last night. It had some really persuasive content and Endou decided to begin with a regime he had found, because he has lost a lot of muscle and has to regain it back. A few minutes passed and it was time for him to go. He dressed up and went out, taking his small bag in which he had drinks, a towel and gums, because he again forgot to wash his teeth, tying his shoes. He held the soccer ball under his armpit and he went out. He began jogging to the place where he and Kazemaru were supposed to meet, which was of course, the Riverbank. By the time he was there, Kazemaru was already warming up for the practice.

- You are on time. I am surprised.

- I forgot to put my alarm on snooze. You better be glad.

- I am glad. Now, let us first start with the warm up.

Endou's soul broke down when he said that. Kazemaru's warming up required some flexibility, but Endou was not flexible at all. The torture began when Kazemaru was pushing him to go lower and touch his toes. It was an abject view. The whole warm up was only for flexibility and Endou got exhausted even before the true practice.

- Is this all you can do? We really need to work more...

- How do you expect me to do it from the first try?????

Kazemaru giggled at his expression and helped him to get up from the grass. Finally, both of them agreed to go to the football pitch and start the real practice. Kazemaru put the bags on the bench and took out the beverages he had taken for after the practice. The weather was chilly and it was impossible for them to get warmer. Endou was eagerly waiting in front of the goal and stretching his legs. His enthusiasm was boosted once he stepped on the pitch, and he was boiling with energy and wish for practice. He shouted at Kazemaru to hurry up and come. He waited a bit more and finally, it was the time to start. Kazemaru without any warning kicked the ball with everything he had, creating a wind trail. Endou's eyes widened and he managed to catch the ball, but the shot was way too strong and it made him cough a bit. Kazemaru smirked and Endou raised an eyebrow and kicked the ball back to him, giving a sign to kick it again. Both of them were attempting to come up with and refine their own new technique, but of course, it was not possible from the first time. They decided to take a rest, but Kazemaru kicked the ball too far away and it got out of the pitch. Just as he was about to go and take it, he didn't notice that his shoelaces were untied and he tripped on them. Endou reacted quickly, but he was too close to the metal of the goal post and he didn't catch him on time. Kazemaru hit his head and groaned in pain. Endou lifted him up and went to the bench with him. Kazemaru was feeling dizzy and his head was hurting as well. Endou took one of the beverages that had ice in it and placed it on his head. He told him to lay down with it, while he goes to take the ball. Kazemaru felt immense pain in his whole head, he was not able to endure a lot and he soon aimed to fall asleep. He hit his head really bad, and the metal parts were thick as hell. Endou returned with the ball and he saw the almost sleeping boy. He pushed him and helped him to get up. He gave him water with lemon to refresh himself and washed his face with clear wather. Then both of them headed to Endou's home, since Kazemaru lived further away and it would take hours to get to his home in this tempo. Endou lifted him up on his shoulder.

- We are almost home. Stay strong, Kazemaru!

He only gulped in response and somehow they managed to reach Endou's house faster than anticipated. The brunette threw the bags on the floor and focused on Kazemaru, who was probably already asleep. He put him on his messy bed and left him to sleep, falling to the ground from exhaustion. He breathed heavily and wiped his sweat off with his palm, groaning in despair.

- Why today? Uh... at least he is not badly hurt... I should go and take some ice.

Hours were spent in watching Kazemaru sleep and changing ice packs. Endou could feel muscles forming on his whole legs, as he was obligated to climb and go down the stairs thousands of times. Kazemaru was way more important and he didn't even pay attention to the exhaustion he felt. He changed the last pack and changed his own clothes. Finally, Kazemaru woke up and sat on the bed, looking confused as hell.

- E-endou-kun? What are we doing here? Was I sleeping? Did we even practise?

- Well... uh... yes we did practice! But you hit your head and um, I decided to take you home to rest. You have a lump, but you only need ice packs for it.

Kazemaru buried his face in his hands from embarrassment. He sighed and stood up from the bed, bowing to Endou.

- Thank you for taking care for me. But I think its time to leave, it is probably late, considering how much I usually sleep.

- You are wrong. It is 3pm, we still have some free time for practice.

Endou blinked and smiled, while Kazemaru smiled back at him and hugged him.

- Then what are we waiting? Let's go!

- Kazemaru-kun, I think you need some food. Come down and let's have a lunch, at least to boost our energy. I will prepare more drinks meanwhile.

- You are right. Okay then!

Endou introduced him to his whole house and they were walking around while eating. Somehow he lured Kazemaru to eat two bowls of rice to regain his energy, and he received a slap behind the neck. As soon as they finished, they went back to the Riverbank and resumed their 'rigorous and diligent' practice, which was more of a circus performance.

The end

Because I promised him!

By Tigertoramaru

=

(Kazemaru’s reaction to finding out he’s been assigned to Kageyama! Inspired by Outer Code and Reloaded. Enjoy!)

=

Kazemaru gasped as he opened the letter he was waiting for. It told him what school he was going to be assigned to as part of this reorganization of soccer. Problem was that the school wasn’t an issue, but then he read the Coach he’d be reporting to. “No way…”

He wasn’t crazy about the idea of splitting the team up and now this really clinched it. Track was suddenly seeming like a good idea to get back into, but he needed some other words to motivate him. For that there was one person he could always count on.

 And that was his friend since Elementary school, Endou Mamoru. While he wasn’t the brightest at times, Endou always managed to cheer him up with his simple way of looking at things, and for him somewhere along the way he started feeling more for his friend. Another dilemma, his friend seemed only to love soccer, though sometimes he seemed closer to Gouenji or Kidou.

 Tears threatening to fall at one or both of those dilemmas, Kazemaru grabbed his shoes and ran to the Endou residence, arriving there as the street lights were starting to flicker on outside, small fireflies starting to dance around. It was such a beautiful night for such dark thoughts! Endou’s mother opened the door for him, recognizing him as it was hardly the first time he’d been there over the years. “Sorry, I need to see him.” Kaze said not waiting for an answer as he kicked off his shoes, bowed in apology and ran up the stairs to Endou’s room.

 “Endou! I…” Kaze began running into the room. Naturally it was a mess as Endou packed and he found himself tripping and ended up sitting in Endou’s luggage alongside his socks and some badly folded shirts.

Endou blinked in surprise at the interruption and turned to look at his friend in his suitcase. “Kazemaru, hi! Is something wrong? Sorry for the mess. I’m finding it hard to pack without knowing where I am going yet.” Then again, his room was usually on the verge of disorder.

 Kazemaru shook his head as he got up and sat on the bed. “You’re such a mess.” Kaze said as he picked up the shirts and began folding them properly. “Those will wrinkle you know.” Kaze said as he handed the now-wrinkled letter to Endou, but summarized the problem for him. “They’re sending me to work for HIM. Some punishment that is, after all he did, they leave him a Coach!” Kaze said wiping his eyes before tears could fall.

 Endou read the letter, frowning a bit at the news, but he looked at things more simply. “But Teikoku is a great school! Your team will be hard to beat, especially with you helping them.”

 Kaze glared at that. “Endou! How can you say that? I…I want to go back to Track, I can’t…I won’t work for that man, I…!”

 Endou frowned again as he took Kaze’s hands in his. “Kazemaru! Do you love soccer?”

 Kaze blinked at Endou’s rough grip on him. “Mamoru, don’t…”

 Endou looked at him with those chocolate eyes of his. “Do you?”

 Kaze looked down at his socks, composing himself and his thoughts, his face hidden by his teal hair. I did it because YOU asked me to Mamoru, not for soccer. Kaze thought, but this wasn’t a night to confess his feelings, especially since they were going to be split apart.

*

The memories came so quick and happy for him…

“Kazemaru? Didn’t you say you wanted to play against first-rate players? If you want to join, come by anytime!”

“When I said first-rate players I meant in athletics...”

*

“That sure is some messy special training…You’re serious about beating them huh? I’ll join you and that spirit of yours.”

*

And then reality came back as Endou tapped him on the head. “Kazemaru? You went all funny.”

 Kaze smiled slightly as he held Endou’s hands back. “I DO love soccer, but I DON’T love that man.”

 Endou smiled back. “Well there must be a reason they gave it back to him. Kidou says he knows a lot about soccer.”

 Kazemaru shook his head. “Mamoru, I don’t know if I can do this without you. I wasn’t crazy about the idea of splitting us all up, it feels more like a punishment, and…”

 Endou turned to the side as his TV turned on. “It’s on!”

Kaze blinked in surpise at the pause in their talk. “What is?”

Endou smiled. “Another soccer friendly, Italy’s nationals against that team that beat us, uh…”

 Kazemaru looked over with more interest now. “Barcelona Orb.” He supplied helpfully.

 Endou grinned. “Arigatou. You always have my back Kazemaru.”

 On the screen, Italy’s Captain Hidetoshi was on screen shaking the hand of Orb’s Captain Clario. “We saw your match against Raimon, you could have made your point without crushing them so badly. How about you pick on someone your own size?”

 Clario shrugged as he shook Hide’s hand. “We did what we were told, it wasn’t personal.”

 Then the camera turned to another Italian boy which the caption said was a FW for Orpheus, Assistant Captain Fidio Aldena. “If there are any Raimon members watching, we know you have a long way to go, but take heart. You’ll get there and if you need help, feel free to look us up.” Fidio said giving a thumb’s up and wink at the screen.

 A rapid maybe not so friendly game developed, the moves incredible and at times it seemed it could go either way but eventually ended in an Orpheus victory 6-5.

 Kazemaru watched it all with Endou and sometime during the game he recognized he did love soccer, and he also felt a little better knowing the team that crushed them could also be beaten. It was just a matter of skill and training. “I do love soccer.” Kaze said resting his hands on Endou’s shoulders.

Endou turned in surprise and gave his friend one of those big goofy smiles of his. “Then you’ll stay?”

 Kazemaru smiled back and nodded. “I will, but I won’t like it. Endou…you’re my best friend and Captain. Tell me what I should do.”

 Endou nodded as he stood and placed his hands on Kaze’s shoulders. “Kazemaru, please follow your orders and go to Teikoku, promise me you’ll do your best to help them so that one day we can be on the world stage like those guys we just watched.”

 Kazemaru tipped his head down. “I promise. I’ll do it for you. NOT for him.” Kaze said softly. “I should get back home, I have some more packing to do, my bus arrives early tomorrow. Write me when you find out where you’re going.” Kaze said, and with that, he gave Endou a quick hug and walked out of his best friend’s life for an indefinite time.

 Three days later…

After the briefing, Sakuma gave chase and grabbed Kazemaru’s arm as he walked away. “Kazemaru! Why are you with Kageyama?!?!”

 Kazemaru turned slightly, his iron mask breaking for a moment as he gave a small smile. “Because I promised a friend.”

 END.

Animage June 2012 Highlight: Inazuma’s 2012 Grand Prix Takeover - Nishigaki Yuka (Kazemaru Ichirouta) interview

Full Scans Available At: http://inazuma.pmsinfirm.org/?p=238#ixzz4yZDSTyrk

Notes: This is for @ichiroutas-other-eye ! You requested something about Kaze awhile ago, sorry it took so long... Also if people are interested, Nishigaki-san also talks about Kidou, Fudou, Hiroto and Fubuki here, so I’m tagging @ygreczed (Kidou brings out your mother’s instinct apparently) too~

King of the Votes, Kazemaru

Once Again Ranks in the Top 3

A year has passed since the original Inazuma Eleven series concluded, but Kazemaru’s popularity and his voice actor Nishigaki Yuuka-san’s love for him knows no end!

Kazemaru Ichirouta

In his days at Raimon Middleschool, he made the decision to move from the Track and Field club to the Soccer club, spurred on by his best friend Endou. He’s a speedy defender for Raimon, and has been both a defender and midfielder for Inazuma Japan.

24 year-old Kazemaru - he’s active in the pro leagues! ↑

Dear Kazemaru-senpai...

Kobayashi Yuu (Voice of Kirino Ranmaru)

Thank you for letting us decorate the cover of this issue of Animage together! For Ranmaru-san and his friends, Kazemaru-san is a huge star they have great admiration for. I was really happy that in the movie Ranmaru-san could gradually grow stronger from Kazemaru-san’s special training. He really is a wonderful person.

Tai Yuuki (Voice of Kariya Masaki)

Since Kariya underwent Fudou-san’s spartan-style special training (laughs), there wasn’t many scenes where he got to interact with Kazemaru-san, but what struck me the most was the identical blue color of their hair. Maybe both Kariya and Kazemaru-san thought to themselves ‘Huh? We have the same color hair!’ when they met (laughs).

| Interview |

In our Grand Prix Series Division, Inazuma Eleven took 2nd place, and in our Male Character Division, Kazemaru took 3rd place. Congratulations!

Nishigaki: Thank you so much! As Kazemaru’s voice actress I’m delighted, but I also feel like a mother whose son is being supported by everyone (laughs).

The last episode of Inazuma Eleven was recorded in February last year, but you’ve said before that all of your memories of the series hit you like a bus.

Nishigaki: Yes. When I went home after we finished recording,the moment I stepped into my room it all hit me at once. ‘It’s all over!!’ and I burst into tears. When I thought about never being able to meet Kazemaru as a teenager ever again, it broke my heart.

A year has passed since then. Have your feelings towards this series and your character changed at all?

Nishigaki: Since the series as a whole is continuing, I don’t feel like everything is completely over like I did before, but having said that it’s also not the same as before. It’s kind of a weird sensation. I think for sure that back when I was recording my character and I become one, so I saw things from Kazemaru’s point of view and moved forward together with him. But now it feels like I’m watching over Kazemaru as we walk along different paths.

How did you feel while playing adult Kazemaru in the Inazuma Eleven GO movie Ultimate Bonds Gryphon?

Nishigaki: Because we suddenly jumped forward 10 years, we didn’t get to see what he was doing over the last 10 years, so I’ve thought about it a lot. Kazemaru’s highschool life, or when he first entered the pro leagues as a professional… But I know Kazemaru. He’ll stay the same honest and straight-forward person he was as a child even when he becomes an adult.

He never once thought about cutting his hair.

Nishigaki: Not even once! (laughs) He wears his hair only half up when he’s wearing his regular clothes, but he probably still wears a ponytail when he’s playing in a match even now.

So, we’d like to ask about your opinion of the TV episode division. The top 3 Inazuma episodes were the last 3 episodes of the series.

Nishigaki: It’s rare to do a graduation ceremony in an anime in the first place, and it felt like the cast themselves were also graduating in a way. Even now, it makes me happy that everyone looks back fondly on the final few episodes

In the last episode, episode 127 ‘Ashita no Kick Off!’ the background music is a medley of all of the the theme songs from the past.

Nishigaki: Yes. Since the theme songs for Inazuma were carefully created with the keywords of each season in mind, it was really exciting. But the most memorable scene was Endou saying ‘Sakka Yarou Ze!’. I wonder if Endou will ever stop saying that.

The fans were probably expecting the show to end with that was the closing words.

Nishigaki: They waited and waited ‘Not yet, not yet!’ until he finally said it. It’s a great phrase, no matter how many times you hear it.

‘Today’s Proverb’ was Endou saying ‘Kore Kara Mo Sakka Yarou Ze (Let’s keep playing soccer!)!’ and after that didn’t the whole cast say ‘That’s all!’ together?

Nishigaki: Yes. There were so many ‘key’ people in the last episode, and not everyone had a turn saying it, so in the end we all said it together. We were told ‘Let’s all say it together!’ by the sound director, so about 30 people all stood in front of the microphone. It was a great idea! Everyone was happy that ‘Finally I get to say it too!’. It’s a good memory.

To continue, what was your most memorable scene from episode 126 ‘Namida no Sotsugyo Shiki (A Tearful Graduation)’?

Nishigaki: It was the scene where everyone’s named was called one by one as they stepped forward to get their graduation certificate. The only line anyone said was ‘Hai!’ (Yes) since that’s really the only thing you’re supposed to say when you graduate, so it really did feel like an actual graduation ceremony.

When it came to Kazemaru’s turn, Miyasaka was in tears.

Nishigaki: But he wasn’t sad - he was actually putting on a brave face. It felt like he wanted to send Kazemaru off proudly. I’ve said this before, but since I love Miyasaki I was always really happy when he appeared in the anime. From his first episode I’ve said ‘I want Miyasaka to appear!’. After Kazemaru graduated, he would have worked hard as a member of the track and field club.

Kazemaru’s scene after the graduation ceremony - when Endou was alone in the clubroom, he came looking for him.

Nishigaki: That’s definitely Kazemaru’s role. It was never concretely established that those two are childhood friends, but they often consult with each other a lot, so it’s clear that they’ve been together for a long time. Kazemaru is famous for always being by Endou’s side supporting him.  Then the scene after that where they entrust the club onto Kurimatsu was fun.

Everyone put a lot of pressure on him (laughs).

Nishigaki: That’s their own way of giving him a pep talk! (laughs)

The next episode is 125 ‘The Final Conclusion - Number One in the World!’.

Nishigaki: The second they won, he used Shippu Dash to run straight from the bench over to Endou! (laughs)

Since Endou was standing in the forward area, Gouenji would have been the person standing closest to him. And yet…

Nishigaki: But Gouenji wasn’t the first person to hug him - that was Kazemaru! (laughs) A good use of his speed.

Afterwards, everyone began tossing him in the air in celebration.

Nishigaki: Speaking of which, they tossed him in the air after the Dark Emperors fight too. Endou seems to be always being tossed in the air with a smile on his face.

In the TV episode divison, episode 121 ‘Best in the World! 11 words!’ also came in at 25th place.

Nishigaki: I was happy to be able to see the happy faces of our friends in Japan - it’s been a while. When Handa and Max and the others appeared, I felt like ‘Wowww!’ and everyone in the recording studio was really excited. They said that whether they’re on the field or the bench, far away or nearby, they’ll always be teammates. It felt like our friends waiting in Japan were fighting together with us.

After that, the managers read notes from their hearts - Kazemaru’s revolved around ‘Protecting what’s important to him with kindness that knows no limit’.

Nishigaki: Kazemaru’s kindness really knows no limit. I think that those words referred to how he conquered his worries and dealt with his inner conflicts, and grew as a person.

Next, we’ll move on to the Male Character Division. Please tell us your impression of 7th place, Fubuki Shirou.

Nishigaki: Fubuki’s a kid who the world was really cruel to. He has a dual personality called Atsuya, and the story of him becoming his own person was really dramatic. He didn’t really talk that much to Kazemaru in the anime, but both of them were dealing with their worries at the same time, so I think they can relate to each other a lot.

In the second season no one is a bad guy, but you feel sorry for everyone.

Nishigaki: Right. I’ve thought so many times; ‘Will the adults please pull themselves together!’. Kazemaru and the others were used by adults during the Dark Emperors too. All of the kids in Inazuma are really good and pure, but there’s a lot of unacceptable adults (bitter laughs).

Next is 12th place - Sakuma Jirou.

Nishigaki: 10 years later he’s still as beautiful as ever (laughs). His popularity is showing.

Kazemaru and Sakuma really didn’t interact at all, but Sakuma wanted to ‘see the same world as Kidou’ and Kazemaru wanted to ‘become strong like Endou’ - so it seems like they can empathise with each other there.

Nishigaki: That’s true. We only caught a glimpse of Kazemaru’s reaction to Shin Teikoku Gakuen’s Sakuma, but I think he must have felt something. I don’t know if that was foreshadowing for what would happen with Kazemaru… Since they became teammates during the FFI arc, even though they didn’t talk much in the anime, they probably had a lot of off-screen conversations.

We would have loved to see what the members of Inazuma Japan talked about in the FFI arc.

Nishigaki: The heart of FF1 was really the matches. But there was an episode where they took a break from training and enjoyed their free time. Kazemaru ate ice-cream together with Endou, and Gouenji went to buy Yuka-chan a present. We could see one by one how each character spent their free time; I thought they were all really cute scenes and I liked them. It felt like it had been a while since we could see them just be kids.

Next we’d like to ask about Hiroto (14th place).

Nishigaki: He’s still as worryingly pale as ever~ (laughs)

Even 10 years later, his skin color is the same.

Nishigaki: But he rides around in a sports car, as expected of a young CEO. He’s a glasses-wearing ikemen. In order to be recognised by the father that raised him, he worked very hard. He’s a great example of a character who was hugely motivated by Endou-kun. I felt like this kid said Endou-kun’s name a lot. I feel like he’s the type who thinks carefully before he makes a move.

And now he’s head of the company.

Nishigaki: Hiroto can definitely expand the company even more. He’s probably someone who excels at being in control. During the match against Argentina; Kazemaru bassed the Captain’s baton to him.

Speaking of CEOs, we’re interested in if Kidou Yuuto (19th place) took over his father’s business.

Nishigaki: Kidou might be a little bit involved with it? He can entrust everyday duties to his staff while he focuses plays soccer. But he probably makes the important decisions himself. And he joined Teikoku as their commander to help raise the next generation of soccer players. I think he’s a person who can see the benefit of multi-tasking.

He’s taken off the goggles too (laughs).

Nishigaki: He graduated from the goggles, but he hasn’t graduated from covering his eyes completely with some mysterious glasses. I wonder who picked out those glasses? If it was Yuka who Gouenji asked to created his clothes as Ishido, Kidou’s glasses must have been a present from Haruna. I think he’d be happy with that (laughs).

So he no longer had a use for Kageyama’s goggles??

Nishigaki: It could be that he still uses the goggles when he’s playing soccer (laughs). Maybe they size has become too small - like the band is too tight. But Kidou has to wear his goggles and cape - I want him to wear them again!

By the way, regarding middle school Kidou, you’ve said before that you ‘want to protect him’.

Nishigaki: I feel like he pretty much ignored and despair he felt and just kept working hard… He’s a kid who fiercely brings out my mother’s instinct.

Young Kidou is popular with our female readers over the age of 20.

Nishigaki: I understand that~ He’s the person who led the members of Teikoku Gakuen forward! But I feel like her over exerts himself (laughs). But I feel like adult Kidou is very cool, calm and composed. I don’t feel like he’s overworking himself. He must have experienced both hardships and made happy memories over the past 10 years.

Next, please talk about Fudou Akio (17th place).

Nishigaki: I also feel like Fudou’s been through a lot of despair, from the very first episode he appeared in. I think Fudou’s behavior during the match against Korea’s team left an impression on Kazemaru. And Fudou’s hairstyle is very unique too. When he was a kid his hairstyle was normal, then at some point he shaved it into a mohawk and when he becomes an adult it becomes super fluffy. He’s certainly very particular about his hair.

In the movie, the moment they became kids again Fudou’s hair suddenly disappeared with a whoosh, and returned to his mohawk (laughs).

Nishigaki: That scene stood out! (laughs) The mohawk definitely suits him well. As the God Who Protects the Bench, watching it sway as he stands up and sits down is very Fudou-like. (laughs)

Adult Fudou went to investigate God Eden, but we wonder if those clothes were a good choice. They look like something you’d buy in a convenience store.

Nishigaki: Certainly, when I first saw his clothes I was worried about what he was doing with his life. (laughs) According to the novel he seems to be playing as a professional soccer player for an overseas team.

Next, in the anime song division ‘Mata Ne… No Kisetsu’ came number one. Congratulations!

Nishigaki: I was surprised! Thank you! The lyrics and melody that T-Pistonz+KMC-san created was really gave off the vibe that this was a song between close friends, and whenever I listen to it I find myself singing along. I think the lyrics ‘Don’t hide it - let’s laugh!’ was a positive way of looking at the sadness of graduating. This isn’t good bye - they’re definitely meet again. It’s a very in-character song.

For Nishigaki-san this role was the first time you sang, wasn’t it?

Nishigaki: Yes. So I had an extra day of practice. Everyone else knew what they were doing and I was the only inexperienced person it seems (laughs).

In the anime song divison, Saikyou de Saigou from the movie came in 13th place. Nishigaki-san and the others also covered this song.

Nishigaki: Yes. When I saw T-Pistonz+KMC-san’s original song in the theatre, I started to cry. The ending animation was amazing too.

There were so many pictures too! ‘I’m home!’ by Kazemaru.

Nishigaki: Stop! (cries) It was too much… I watched it with my brother and I was already crying a little bit from the show but when I saw the ending I burst into tears. When we were practicing the song too, the song is so packed full of emotions that I started to cry - I can’t handle it! ‘What should I do? I can’t sing this!’ Somehow I got through it!

Out of the character songs, Kazemaru’s ‘Mai Agare’ also appeared.

Nishigaki: I’m really happy such a Kazemaru-like song was written for us. It’s so catchy and it really sounds like an anime opening. I really like it.

If Kazemaru appears again, what would you like to happen for him?

Nishigaki: I really want to see a visit to his house! We still don’t know a thing about his family, or what kind of house he lives in, or if he has brothers or sisters. It would be great if we could have a scene where he and Endou are just casually hanging out together - I want to see that!

Rather than his work life, you’d rather see his personal life.

Nishigaki: Of course I’d like to see him active in the J League too. He and Fubuki seem like they’d both be popular star players, appearing on the covers of magazines too many times to count. They probably appear a lot on TV too. It would be nice if loads of little kid fans came to see their matches too.

Finally, please leave a message for the fans.

Nishigaki: Even though it’s been a whole year since Endou’s story ended, I’m honestly so happy that so many people are still supporting us. You’re going to see the world of Inazuma expand and I too am personally looking forward to future developments. But along with the new series, I think if you rewatch Endou’s series you’ll be able to see things in a different light. If you could watch Kazemaru’s episodes many times, I would be really happy.

On July 4th Endou’s story’s DVD box set will finally go on sale.

Nishigaki: I’ll definitely buy it! The Nishigaki household’s Inazuma collection will once again expand. I feel sorry for my little brother who lives with me - most of my Inazuma goods are spread out over the living room. Everyone - don’t lose to me - make sure you expand your Inazuma collection too!

| Interview |

↑ Nishigaki-san’s dress makes her look like a spring fairy. Up until now she’s always tried to chose clothes based on Kazemaru’s style, but this time she’s decided to dress ‘Nishigaki-style’. Her ribbon is adorable.

Nishigaki Yuuka-san’s Personal Anime Grand Prix!

TV Episode Division

Episode 1 - Sakka Yarou Ze!

Honestly, they’re all my favorite episodes but it all started from episode one! All of our teammates gradually joined the club, the Raimon Eleven started moving into action and everyone fought against Teikoku together… Since episode 1 was the start of everything, I remember it very fondly. Kazemaru’s line ‘I like your fighting spirit! You’ve got me on board!’ was very memorable, and now that I think about it Kazemaru looked precious in his school uniform.

Male Character Division

Endou Mamoru

Without a doubt, Endou IS Inazuma Eleven. It’s not only Kazemaru who he motivated - he’s moved so many people! I think he’s a really wonderful person. Within the games there’s something like 1,000 or 2,000 characters, and you can’t argue that all of them have come to love Endou in some way.

Female Character Division

Otonashi Haruna

Haruna is my personal favorite female character. I think it’s wonderful that she speaks her mind, and it’s kind of funny how Kidou and her practically act like boyfriend and girlfriend (laughs). Thanks to everyone’s votes, she’s the number one female Inazuma Eleven character for two years in a row, and that’s not surprising at all.

Anime Song

Tachi Agario

I love all of the songs too, but I’ve gotta go with the first opening ‘Tachi Agario’! When this song starts playing, you’re suddenly thrust into the world of Inazuma Eleven!

[accessfuckingdenied]

Ooh asks! Um, Attitude, Cuddles and Utopia for Kazemaru and Midorikawa?

Kazemaru

A: Attitude - How they act towards the first date?

- He will be really nervous and anxious. He will try his damn best to make a good impression on you, with simple mind tricks he knows. He will give you flowers and trying not to touch you so much until you feel comfortable with him. He will often change topics and keep a decent conversation, without making it awkward.

C: Cuddles - are they a good hugger? Or do they like hugs?

- He is a good hugger. You enjoy his hugs a lot and he always accepts some snuggles when you wish. In addition, he will caress you and tighten his grip, while he smiles and smells your scent. If you fall asleep, he will cover you with a blanket and sleep with you.

U: Utopia - Are they the perfect soulmate? Is life with him flawless?

- It absolutely is. I mean, he has respect towards you, gives you full freedom, doesn't judge you, never gets tired of you, always retains your secrets (and nudes) and is always calm and understanding.

Midorikawa

A: Attitude - How they act towards the first date?

- Pfft, this sunshine will be himself during the whole day. He will narrate stories linked to stars and go to cosmetic shops with you. He will take pictures with you and make you feel like you are 5 years old again.

C: Cuddles - are they a good hugger? Or do they like hugs?

- He is a hug-digger. He is the best of the bestest in giving hugs. The warmth that he radiates from his body makes him one of the best huggers in the whole team. He will ask for and give hugs almost all the time, not ashamed of what he did, and his scent is so sweet and lovely.

U: Utopia - Are they the perfect soulmate? Is life with him flawless?

- It kinda is. There sure is a flaw that he cannot manage to get rid of it, and it's that he is a bit jealous at times. He will really feel angry and pissed when you talk to someone else, but he will just glare, but will not even try to pull you away, since he knows he is not the only boy you know on this earth and has a full trust on you.

Hope you liked it.

Thanks for the ask! Feel free to ask me again. Stay healthy ❤
