"WHAT- you were Noel Noa's rival?!" Isagi asks in complete disbelief.

"Didn't he already tell you?" Ego asks, unbothered by Isagi's reaction yet annoyed at some thought.

"That is so cool, but why are you then a coach? You must have been good if the great Noel Noa considered you his rival," Isagi says loudly. He is still surprised that Ego, the guy who made the Blue Lock project and seemed crazy to all of them, was the first rival his idol Noel Noa had.

"Hm."

"Ego-san, how was it with Noel? How well did you know him?" Isagi's fanboying was showing a lot.

"He is the same as he is yet different." That sentence made Isagi question Ego's talk, but Ego wasn't interested in talking about how Noel Noa was.

Ego could tell that Isagi had millions of questions about Noel that he wanted to ask, such as how good of a player he was and what his childhood was like, which Ego had answers to, but it doesn't feel like he has the place to say something about his rival, the rival that he knows well.

Ego wasn't surprised when he saw Isagi after he got to know that he and Noel were once rivals. Ego was and wasn't surprised that Noa told Isagi about their relationship being once rivals.

"Hm, so-"

"Why is our coach stupid? What he teaches clearly doesn't work for them." A black-haired man complains as he sits on the bench.

"Really," the white-haired Frenchman says in a questioning voice, knowing what will come next.

"Yeah! He should let them first practice the footwork and then the speed when they can't do the simplest thing and another-"

The white-haired man was listening carefully, yet he couldn't help but get lost in thoughts when he sees those brilliant obsidian eyes that speak for themselves. He doesn't know if the other noticed him staring or not, but he sure just wants to see the black-haired acknowledging him, not just his playing, but him as a whole.

---

It was an everyday thing for him.

Play with Jin in a match, well more like them rivaling each other, but that was what everyone did on the team, just wanting to be better than others and just to be the best.

Then when they were on the bench, both he and Jin. He would listen to Jin's complaints, advice, and other things he wanted to say.

They would usually train after practice, then eat the food they got from the cafeteria, where he would hear Jin complaining about the food.

He never did notice just how close Jin is actually to him, but was he close to Jin?

Noa would sometimes talk about himself without noticing how many details he's giving.

---

They were sitting on a bench and wouldn't go back to practice. He didn't mind since he scored two goals against the opponent, and so did Jin.

They were on the bench close to each other, their shoulders touching. It made Noa blush, which Jin would have noticed if he hadn't thought of it as just a flush from the running.

Ego wasn't talking, so Noa took the lead.

"You know...when I was younger I used to walk around the streets just to find some food for myself. I kind of grew up in the slums of Paris." It was a random conversation that he started.

"Really, then I guess your talent and hard work got you here?" Jin said as he leaned on the bench.

"Yeah, I spent my whole childhood playing with a ball. I had already made up my mind as a child that I would become the best player the Earth had ever seen." Noa was reminiscing about his childhood, where he was, how he was treated, and his parents.

He alone got here, he got here from the bottom of the hole to the top, and he will go as far as it is possible.

"Hey- no need to have the face of a depressed man," said Ego as he tugged Noa, who woke up from his childhood.

Ego wasn't the type to force people to say something about them, but he knew how to make them open. That's for sure, or how else would he make Noel Noa be so open to him?

"You are pretty..." Noa said as he stared at Ego's eyes.

Ego's whole body stopped for a moment, but then the grin appeared on Jin's face, "should I think of it as your way of asking me out? And if so- I am handsome," and that made Noa put his hand on Ego's face.

Then suddenly Noa felt heat on his hand, which made him back out his hand right away, his hand trembled for a second at the shock and his face blushed like a strawberry, the smirk that was on Ego's face made Noa's heart flutter.

"Oh shut up," just said Noa as he looked away. Ego put his hand on Noa's arm, pulling himself on him.

"Come on, don't be such a baby," Ego snarked.

A random player on the field would notice these two holding each other, Ego's hand on Noa's arm and Noa's hand on Ego's. The random player would just think of them as close, weird friends.

 

 

 

When the real match starts, they are winning by 6-2 with Noel scoring 3 goals and Ego scoring the others. He even made Ego assist him to a goal, he could see that Ego wasn't pleased when he had to pass it to him, but he knew that his body was exhausted, he would soon leave the field to go to the bench.

They have won the match.

 

 

 

 

Everyone was 'invited' from the team to the party where there was alcohol and more. They celebrated this win seriously, well it's just that people do, after all, alcohol is a poison that hurts your body, but what people say 'nobody dies from a little poison.'

Everyone had a few glasses in them just in an hour. Noa knew that he would have to rest the next day, he will have to after he recovers from this night to train again.

"Hey Noa, want to have a drinking match with me?" A German man with brown eyes and flushy eyes asks. Noel Noa wouldn't want to with him, not that he dislikes him, but he doesn't see him as an equal, but he is an egoist. He wouldn't decline a match.

Noa doesn't really remember how many shots he took nor how much he drank, but he won and drank more than that German who challenged him, imbecile. He wonders where is the Japanese man with his black hair. He misses him already, does he have to listen to these people? They don't even have anything of value to say to him. He tries to observe people around him, if there is his Ego somewhere, anywhere.

"Where is Ego?" Noa asks the person who turned out to be next to him. He remembers seeing this person sometimes beside Ego.

"Ego? I think I saw him go outside, maybe for a smoke," said the German.

Ego, going out for smoke? That probably won't be it. Jin doesn't smoke. He usually doesn't drink, only if it's a special occasion, so he could have left to go outside to calm down.

Noa stands up from the seat, walks towards the second door, and opens it. On the left, there was no one, on the right wasn't anyone seen. Noa decides that he will look deeper as to where Ego could be.

After walking five minutes he sees a man on a wooden bench, that black hair. He could recognize it anywhere.

He walks towards the park. He sees the man's face as confirmation that this is Jin. He sits beside him.

Ego knows he is here, just doesn't say anything. Noel Noa wasn't really the type of person to start conversations, but he is tipsy. "Jin," he says that name between his lips. It feels like it was meant for him to say it.

 

"What is it Noa?" "And god does it make Noa blush. The way that the Japanese man has his little lousy eyes that seem to be like a devil's in disguise, don't get him started by those lips and the sound of his voice is just so soothing, those pink blushes on Jin's face because of the alcohol is sexy. Noa already imagines how colorful those cheeks could be under him.

"Yes, love?" those words weren't the ones that he could say, but it were what his heart bumps blood into him. Jin's seems flustered for a second and then sarcastic.

"Bastard- you drank a lot, didn't you? Looking at you it seems you will throw up any minute," said Ego with a snark, those snarky eyes... how would they look under him? Would they be completely blown up or the same?

"I didn't."

"You did."

"I did not."

"Look at how you stutter."

"N-No!" and those are the times that Noa isn't sure if he wants to punch his rival's face or kiss that mouth of his until he can't breathe.

"You are stuttering again, Noa." Noa is questioning if Jin is aware of his inner thoughts and is just teasing him by that smirk or that Jin knows and doesn't say anything to him. But Noa wants this to end right now.

He will ask Jin how he feels if he gets a smack to the face, then that's alright. It's not the end of the world. He will be hurt, but he will live. He can get over it, can't he?

 

Noa leans in to Jin's face, which now has a curious look. "What is it Noa, want a kiss?" 'Yes' said Noa's heart, but his mind is the opposite. "What if?" and then he closed the gap between them. Their lips met. Noa felt Jin's soft lips and he deepened the kiss right away.

'Noa...I hope you know how to finish what you started.' Jin just accepted the kiss. He could be kissing back, but he just lets it be as if it was just another conversation. Noa feels his heat raising.

 

Noa's hand leans towards the back of Ego's head as he pulls him closer to his face. He could feel the other's breath, and their lips were just a centimeter away from each other. Noa decides 'fuck it' and pulls Ego to him. Their lips press against each other as Noa roughly pushes his way into the Japanese mouth, and god, it is Divine.

Just how soft and wet is the inside of his rival's mouth. The taste of his rival's saliva is unique, probably since it's from Jin's mouth. He can feel Jin's tongue just as he works his way in his mouth. Noa makes sure to taste and lick everything in his rival's mouth.

Noa's eyes are closed, so he doesn't see Jin's reaction to the sudden kiss. Jin isn't pushing him away, but Noa isn't sure if his mind would let him even if Jin did push him away, because it feels so good... And he knows well that pretty good things are forbidden, and if a person loves like that, it will be taken from him and never seen again.

So when he feels that Jin's backing away, he captures his hands and pulls them to him. Opening his eyes, he can see those brilliant, obsidian eyes and the fluster in them, so adorable. Jin's face is redder than it was before, and Noa can tell that his own face is hot as well.

"N-na, le-t m- catc- a br'ath!" Ego somehow says between the kiss. Noa wasn't letting him catch a breath, and Ego felt like he was drowning in that kiss.

As Noa pushes Jin, causing him to lie down on the bench, his hands never leave Jin's. Ego is basically trapped under those strong arms that seem to capture him. Due to difficult breathing, Ego spits in Noa's mouth, but it just makes Noa hornier, to be honest.

Noa's hands lessen the strength on Ego's, but when he does that, he is met with a brisk and bit of confusion.

He doesn't realize what just happened, but he sees Jin wiping his saliva from his face and those flustered eyes. It makes Noa want to bite him whole. Noa just wants to devour him.

Then he feels Jin's hand on his left cheek. He wonders why but doesn't really seek the reason. He's just happy for Jin to be holding him somehow.

 

"You're already red. Well, lucky you that from the alcohol it can't be seen that you were punched by someone," Ego says, and just now Noa processes the information. So Ego threw a fit at him, that's what happened. But what's that supposed to mean?

"Huh?" Noa feels something pressing him between his legs, and to his surprise, it's Ego's knee. It's making the place hotter than it was before. Noa isn't sure how to take care of Ego's teasing now. He just wants to pump into him.

"Already hard from this? You don't have much self-control," Jin says as he moves his hand from Noa's cheek towards his bottom lip.

Just when Noa was about to kiss Ego again, Ego got up from the bench, standing up tall as he looks down on Noa, who's now sitting on it.

"Mr. Striker, I am not the type to be intimate in public, and more to the fact that you are a soccer player," Jin said as he turned around, took a deep breath, and started walking away from Noa. Noa got up and started following Ego blindly, like a little puppy following its Master.

 

"Noa, stop following me."

"I want to kiss you."

"No, can't do, Mr. Striker."

"I wanna fuck you anywhere."

"Shut up."

"I love you."

"Idiot, shut up. We are in public. Did you really have to get drunk like that?"

"I'm not drunk."

"Sure, and I am the best striker." That made Ego stop for a minute. He wants to be the best, so that remark wasn't really good. Why did he even say it? Is his mind weird because of the alcohol?

 

 

Ego woke up from his own world when two strong arms embraced him, the tightness filling in. Light licks can Jin feel on his neck that are turning into rough bites, soft whispers come from Jin's mouth. Ego's arms start to push Noel's, and they start to drift off to a nearby place... well, not a typical place if you say you are backing to a bus station. But Ego kicked him in the stomach, which didn't hurt that bad or the alcohol made it seem so.

"Hell nah, I won't be doing this outside like an animal, Mr. Beast," said Ego.

"Then could we do it inside?" Noel asks as he holds one of Ego's hands, kissing it over and over again. Noa feels like he can't get enough, just wants to keep doing something to Ego.

"What are you, a child that can't handle no?"

"But I want you."

"Life doesn't work that way, Mr. Striker that can't handle no."

"How did I get here again?" It was a quiet whisper that came from Ego's mouth, body pressed down. Ego doesn't know where his glasses are, but he hopes they didn't fall on the floor.

It was hot. Both in the room and them. Ego isn't sure he can say that Noa isn't a beast, with how much he's covered with hickeys, bites, licks, and kisses all over him. It feels too hot, too much. It is uncomfortable at best. Ego doesn't think that right now is good to have pants on. He may not have thought that they would be doing this, but they are too far to stop. He's had enough. Can't they just move on?

"I love you," Ego could feel that there was no doubt in those words, but the kind of relationship Noa wants with him can't last. There is no way. Maybe, just maybe, they could have a one-night stand, but it would not turn out to be something more than just a one-night stand.

His pants leave him in a second when Noa wants them gone, and god, is he gone as well.

Ego could say what his rival is good at and what he lacks, but he clearly isn't lacking the build. The lean, strong physique and those arms-

"Ah-" a sudden moan came from Ego. He was confused why that weird sound came from his mouth, that kind of embarrassing sound.

"What the he-" Ego could feel something inside him, which disturbed him. It feels uncomfortable to have something there, and a finger at that. Ego is seriously re-thinking if they should continue this. He knows that a man with a man can have sex and that it can feel good too, but he never heard how annoying, disturbing it can be. He isn't sure if licking him Noa thinks that it will be better.

Wait- is Noa missing something? That would explain why the feeling is so off.

 

"Noa, did you forget something?" When Ego asks, he can hear a hum that seems unsure, confused yet sure? Ego would want to ask what he's thinking right now. Noa isn't impossible to read nor easy; it isn't something Ego's eyes can't see.

"We don't need a condom, do we?"

"Ow-" Ego suddenly punched Noa's head.

"I didn't mean that, but you didn't even bring it?"

"We are both men, aren't we?"

"Lube, lube, where is it?"

"Lube... well, I thought we wouldn't need it."

"Won't need it? You are such a dumbass! How are you planning to have sex with me?"

"Won't I just put my cock into you?" Ego would have punched him if he hadn't had the confused look on his face. Does he seriously plan to have sex with him without preparing anything? Does he realize that you have sex with a man differently than with a woman?

"No! Have you never read a book about sex with a man?"

"No, isn't it the same with a woman?" Should he just slap him?

"No, it isn't! The person has to be-" those words can't go from Ego's mouth; it would be too embarrassing to say.

"Then should I" Noel says as he presses his finger against Ego's asshole, pushing it inside in one go. A gasp coming from underneath.

"It's tight," said Noel in a low voice. It feels like his finger is being swallowed inside. He truly wonders how it will feel when his dick is inside. Will it fit even or will it be swallowed?

"Jin. Should I do something to your hole before I put it in?" Ego wonders how much shameless Noa can be when he talks like this.

 

"Idiot... it has to get wet before it goes inside," said Ego in a scolding voice, which he uses to complain to Noa about the ways people teach soccer.

Noel pulls out his finger, spitting on his two fingers before putting it in again. It made Ego redden at the sight.

**Noel started to scissor his inside. Ego gasps between the pulling out and pushing it inside, and trying to push
