[Hey—Have you ever seen a tsunami surf?] Part 2

This is a tsunatachi story (tsunami x tachimukai), an Inazumaeleven-based fanfic.

If you see any spelling/grammar errors, please do not hesitate to inform me in the dms!

There was silence for a few seconds. However, it felt like an eternity, to Tachimukai. Just the waves and the seagulls filling the atmosphere of their surroundings, perfect for a beach. At this point, Tachimukai didn’t know if he was daydreaming or not. He felt so many different emotions at a time, like the variety of food in a buffet, and only some of them would come to your liking. Tachimukai felt like he was having a small mental breakdown inside of him. He did not know how to control his feelings, especially when it comes to expressing. He shivered, then got all flustered. “Hm?” He heard a sigh from him. He grabbed his dirty blonde hair and started messing with it. “D-did I say something w-w-wrong? I’m so-so so so so so so so so so so so so-....” “Oh, it doesn’t really matter, actually!” Tachimukai lifted up his head, “It’s not that big of a deal. I’ve been through tougher waves than this, so getting sprinkled with water, or totally soaked, is no problem!” The surfer played with his hair. Tachimukai sighed, “but, I’m still really, really sorry...”.

“Oh, don’t worry about him!” Endou exclaimed. He grabbed Tachimukai’s hair and stroked it, “he always apologised for minor things, especially when it’s not him who’s in the wrong or involved in it!” The surfer out both his hands behind his head, and suddenly... “Crash!” A shot of blur came crashing down (like Tachimukai’s socialising skills). “Gah!” Everyone shrieked (except for the surfer). They all tried to reposition themselves after almost losing their balance and falling. Rika crossed her arms, her expression as straight as.... not Tachimukai. “You need to be careful, big boy,” she sighed, “or you could’ve hurt darling!” her voice squeaked, her expression suddenly changed soft real fast. She grabbed Ichinose’s hand and leaned over it. Everybody slowly looked away, their face purple from embarrassment. “What she’s trying to say is... You need to watch where that surfboard... lands on!” Touko pointed at the life saver. At the end of her finger, he just shrugged and exclaimed, “I’m really sorry to bother you, bye now.” He waved with no emotion (however the wave seemed to have a lot of passion in it) and then proceeded the lie on the sand with his surfboard acting as a shelter a few meters away. “But-” Endou mumbled underneath his breath as he slowly stretched his arm. Tachimukai felt like he needed to break the silence, but was still unsure of what to say, especially from that embarrassing moment just now. “Oh no, someone had a first bad impression of me!” he quietly panicked. “L-let’s go practice more!” Tachimukai acted totally different from how he felt, it was obvious in his voice. “Tachimukai’s right, lets go!” Fubuki tagged along (in terms of speech).

“One more time... God Hand!” Tachimukai screamed as he attempted to catch the flying ball. “Oi!” “H-huh?” Tachimukai was afraid that someone was mad at him. “Great job! Keep it up!” Endou shouted from across the field. “E-Endou-san...” Tachimukai smiled, his blood, spirits and self-confidence suddenly shot up. He really needed that boost.

“Butterfly...”

“Huh?”

“Dream!”

Both Rika and Touko shouted as loud as they could. As soon as Tachimukai got ready, he suddenly noticed something. The ball was flying over the goalpost! Everybody facing the opposite direction craned their necks and caught a glance of the blurry ball flying towards... Yep, you guessed it, the surfer! Round of applause! “W-watch out!” Kabeyama shouted, his large hands bracketed over his mouth. “Ah!” a loud shriek came from the surfer. The ball had hit the surfboard, but it fell down and hit his head. He walked towards them, with the surfboard under his armpits. “I-I’m sorry, we didn’t mean to-!” Endou apologised.

“Alright, who kicked this?”

“I did-..” Touko mumbled.

Just then, Rika interrupted, “No, WE did..”

“Woah, thanks!” He gave a wide, assuring smile, showing his shiny teeth, “Without that, I would’ve been sleeping through it!”.

“It?” Endou asked.

“Yep, by now, a huge wave woudda have appeared... Right about...” he gently stomped his feet, “Now!”.
