Chapter Text
A man sat at a computer overlooking a training field. He usually would be out on the field with his team, but his coach said it was someone important. He automatically knew it was and took it. He hadn’t talked with her in a while and wondered what she was doing.
“So, is your season done with?” he asked the person on the screen. His facial expression never really changed, but the tone of his voice indicated that he cared deeply for the person he was on call with. A tinkling laugh sounded over the speakers of the computer.
“Come on, Noa. You know well that the season is not over with, at least on my end,” the woman said. Noa’s brow shifted up. The woman’s image shows her as a pretty woman with purple hair and eyes to match.
“Oh? It is unlike you to call then,” he said as he sipped his tea. They rarely called one another during their season. They would send a message here or there, but they mostly waited until one season ended before joining the other in whatever city the teams were in. Usually, she joined him in Munich once her season finished.
“Well, as your wife, I am giving you notice that I am heading to Japan, and I am taking Specter with me,” she said with a laugh, “Jin has been texting me and sending videos.”
“Oh? And what is that mad genius going about? He has been bugging me too about something,” Noa said as he put the cup next to the screen. His wife’s eyes soften.
“Do you remember me telling you that there is another female player like me? And she managed to beat all the boys, including the newly inducted genius midfielder, Itoshi Sae,” she said as she leaned forward and put her chin into her hand. “Jin said that she accepted his offer and is now one of the top players in his blue lock project. I want her.”
“And what if she doesn’t want to play for Wolfsburg?” He asked.
“Then she can accept someone else's offer, but I still want to be the one to train her. She might be the one. The next phase of this blue lock is that international teams will come to the blue lock and teach the others. Hers is different. She will play in the league before making official contact with whomever she chooses. He has contacted some teams, but no one has reapplied yet. Coach wants me to go out and look at her, but I know I already want her.”
Noa just looked at his wife and sighed. He smiled slightly.
“There is no stopping you once you put your mind to something,” he said as he rubbed a hand on his eyes, “right, but make sure you text me when you arrive.”
“Why, of course, darling, and you try to care for yourself. You look tired,” she said as she lightly touched the screen. He closed his eyes, imagining her touch.
“Bastard has been working overtime with the recruits. And, of course, that means Him,” he groaned. She laughed.
“Kaiser is still trying to show you up?” she asked, covering her mouth to laugh. He sighed as he leaned forward, mouth resting on his clasp hands.
“He is determined, but he won’t succeed,” he said as he stared at his wife.
“Never say never, der Schatz,” She said, “after all, you said that about us back in the day.” He hmphed. “Anyways, the Japan U20 match will be in a few days, so I want to watch her play in person to judge. I will call you after, mein Hertz.”
“Liebe dich, Makoto,” he said as he kissed his fingertips and pressed them to the screen. She did the same and then ended the call. As he shut the top of the laptop down, he thought back to how they progressed to this beautiful thing called marriage.
