    Summary

    “Rin,” a familiar voice called, commanding his attention. Like a moth to a flame, Rin’s mind went blank as his body moved of its own accord, eyes locked onto the one person he had been trying desperately not to think about. Itoshi Sae towered above him, the harsh glare of the stadium lights painting him in an otherworldly glow. Rin’s senses zeroed in on the older and with all other distractions fading away it was like he was looking at the centre of the universe.

    A fic in which "the talk" goes down differently post U-20 match.

    (Or, the author is Totally Normal about the Itoshi siblings and needs others to appreciate them)

    Summary

    Sae finally looked up, his voice hoarse. "He's going to wake up, right?"

    The doctor's tone softened. "We believe he will. All we can do is wait."
    Then he left.

    And Sae sat there, still and small, the word 'coma' echoing in his head like a dull, distant drum.

    OR

    The U-20 World Cup is weeks away. Rin Itoshi is in a coma. And the people he left behind — his brother, his team, his regrets — are left with a single question. Why?

    Summary

    Something was very, very wrong. His body normally didn’t feel this… alive.

    A face stared back at him. Wide pink eyes, framed by long blond lashes. Sae's breath caught in his throat.

    No. No way.

    He lifted a hand to his cheek. The reflection mimicked him. He flexed his fingers. The reflection flexed. His stomach lurched.

    He wasn't looking at himself.

    He was looking at Shidou Ryuusei.


    [ Sae and Shidou switch bodies. Whilst Shidou is enjoying Sae’s lavish, extravagant lifestyle; Sae struggles to mimic Shidou’s wild personality in Blue Lock. But amid the frustration, Sae learns something he never expected: the storm of unresolved emotion, admiration, and longing that Rin has, buried beneath his hatred. ]

    Summary

    "What? Why not? I thought you said there wasn't any bad blood between you two?"

    "There's isn't." Rin insists hoping Isagi drops it, but he keeps pressing. 

    "So why can't you just—"

    "Because he just doesn't care about me anymore, Isagi." Rin snaps turning away and closing his eyes again as the words keep tumbling out of his mouth. "He doesn't love me, he doesn't want me around, and he certainly would rather get hit by a bus than admit to being related to me." 

    "What? Come on... " Isagi drawls out with a chuckle like he can't believe it. Like it's a joke. "Of course he does, I know I don't have any siblings, but from what I've gathered all siblings deep down really do care about each other, so what makes you the exception?"

    Isagi says it so casually, like Rin hadn't spent the last year killing himself trying to find out.

    What is wrong with him?
    .
    .
    .
    Or, Rin spreads himself too thin, get injured, has an emotional break down, and makes up with his brother.

    Summary

    But he knew that was childish. He knew he wanted his big brother back, and he knew his brother didn’t want him.

    Then again, Rin was never one to listen to reasoning.

    OR

    rin decided to yell at sae after u-20 because what sae did was FOUL.
