"Alright! Here you go, Shindou!" Hamano handed a sheet of paper to the boy beside him.

"Ah..." Shindou took the paper and read the contents. He blushed red, "I-I can't say all this!" He looked at Hamano and knew the boy would brush aside his words. The goggle head boy placed both his hands on Shindou's shoulder,

"Shindou, Shindou, my plan is definitely a good one that Kirino will have to accept. It's foolproof!"

"No that's not the thing I'm talking about, Hamano. T-This is..." Shindou wanted to show the paper full of words to the boy but Hamano stopped him with his hand,

"This is all the words you have to say after coming out of your hiding place in our beautifully decorated club room in your carefully ironed tuxedo. Oh, and don't forget the big bouquet of flowers!"

"Which is a bit too much-" Shindou mumbled under his breath,

"I know the words are difficult to remember, but think about Kirino when you try to memorize!" Shindou opened his mouth to convince Hamano to stop this plan to prevent himself from doing this embarrassing confession but the boy already stood up from his seat and waved to the players from the other side of the clubroom, "Alright guys! We have till practice starts which is at two o clock to finish this so we have the whole afternoon to decorate the clubroom!" And off the boy went ordering the players on what to do. Shindou sighed and walked out of the room. He took his phone out of his pocket and dialed Kirino's number,

"Kirino. I need to talk to you after practise today."

"Oh sorry, Shindou. Hamano told me to meet him at the clubroom at the same time. Maybe-"

"They are both for the same reason. So is it fine to meet at the rooftops?"

"...Ok...sure..." Kirino hung up and Shindou slipped his phone back into his pocket. He was starting to feel nervous already. A confession, alone with Kirino, on the rooftops. Well, at least it's better than in the clubroom with a tuxedo, a bouquet of flowers and a long speech to say. Shindou gulped and walked out of the soccer club building.

In the evening, Shindou stood at the meeting place trying to slow down his fast heart beat when Kirino opened the door. Shindou turned his head to him and felt his blood rush to his face.

His pink haired friend looked so beautiful under the sunset.

"Shindou, what is it that you and Hamano need my help with?" Kirino walked over to Shindou, not noticing the blush on the brown haired boy's cheeks,

"Ah, not Hamano. It's only just me. He called you in my place."

"Oh. So what is it?" Shindou looked down, feeling shy. Kirino felt the weird atmosphere around him, "Is something wrong, Shindou?"

"I...I have a confession to make." Shindou looked up from the ground and up to Kirino's face, he felt his blood rushing to his cheeks again upon seeing his best friend's face under the sunset again. Kirino, on the other hand, widened his eyes, shocked by the words Shindou said. What confession? What did he do!? Shindou opened his mouth about to say something but stopped himself, suddenly remembering the consequences of his confession.

But seeing Kirino's soften worried expression and reminder of Tenma's dream, he knew there was no consequences, "I...I love you, Kirino." The pink haired boy's eyes widened again and he too felt all the blood rush to his face. He looked down, unable to look at his friend in the eye after his confession. Who wouldn't be?

"I-I love you too..." Now it was Shindou's eyes to widen again. He may know his best friend's answer but it still stir up a big lump of happiness in his heart. He smiled, he was too happy.

"Kirino..." He took a step closer to the said boy and the pinknette lifted his head in confusion. Shindou soften his smile as the continuation of his sentence after the call. Understanding the meaning of the smile, Kirino's lips curled to a smile as well. Shindou took this as a signal that they were already more than best friends and reached up his hand to Kirino. The pinknette's cheeks turned slightly pinkish by the sudden touch of Shindou's hand on his cheek. The brown haired boy leaned in and closed the gap between them, kissing him. Kirino soon gave into the kiss and kissed back.

Tenma was walking back home from practise. At first he wanted to go with Shinsuke but the boy said he had plans. Tenma now wondered what plans he had. Does it have something to do with the 'beautifully' decorated clubroom with an extremely big banner saying 'I love you'? Tenma hoped not. What kind of confession is that?

"Eh? Kariya?" Tenma said to himself when he spotted his teal haired friend standing in the middle of the pavement. He seemed to be waiting for someone. The boy looked up after sensing a presence. Tenma could not help but notice the very happy expression on his face as Kariya jogged towards him,

"Tenma-kun! I've been waiting for you." A little too happy.

"Waiting for me? What for?" Kariya looked down on the ground meekly, a pinkish blush on his face. He scratched his cheek as he tried to form the words,

"I want to tell you something." He said with a smile, persuading Tenma to listen. Tenma stared at him for a while, not understanding what was going on, but if his teammate needs help, he'll commit to the request. He nodded,

"Ok!" Kariya smiled back, happy with Tenma's answer,

"Actually, Tenma-kun..." Said boy noticed the sudden closeness between them and started to feel uncomfortable, "I...think I've fallen in love with you." Tenma's eyes widened. That was not what he was expecting. He quickly let go of Kariya's hand which all of a sudden got picked up from his side,

"K-Kariya, what are you saying?" The teal haired boy took Tenma's hand again and glazed deeply into the boy's eyes,

"I love you, Tenma-kun. And I'm not going to wait till I man up to confess, seeing Kirino-senpai already with Shindou-senpai. I want you to know that I love you so that no one could steal you away from me." Tenma leaned back, distancing himself from Kariya,

"K-Kariya...I..."

"Oi! What do you think you're doing!?" A yell shouted from a few distance away. There came Tsurugi storming towards them and forcing himself in between the two first-years, breaking the hand contact,

"Tsurugi!?" Tenma said in glee while Kariya said in displeasement and added a gritting of his teeth after that,

"Kariya, what are you doing here?" A sudden protective Tsurugi asked, almost hissing. What was going on!? Tsurugi was acting so frustrated,

"I'm just here to tell Tenma-kun something." The navy blue haired boy's eyes narrowed,

"I won't let you take Tenma away from me, Kariya. He's mine." Those words caused the two boys' eyes to blink and then a vast of emotions overcame in their eyes. Tenma in surprize and happiness while Kariya jealousy and sadness,

"T-then I'll leave you two alone..." The boy dropped his head in agony and bristly walked away,

"Ah, Kariya!" Tenma stepped forward and tried to call him back,

"Don't call him back, Tenma." Said boy turned his head to Tsurugi who was behind him who placed his hands in his pockets, "And don't even feel sorry for him..." He hissed,

"Tsurugi...W-what's going on? The soccer club is acting weird lately, suddenly having lovey dovey stuffs around the whole place. And now you and Kariya...What's going on, Tsurugi?" Tenma looked up at Tsurugi pleadingly, which the striker had difficultly answering. He looked away, blushing,

"Tenma..." He kept quiet, getting his thoughts together before explaining to the brown haired boy, "while you were reading your storybook to me when I was in the hospital, I kinda got a dream about...you and me..." Tsurugi caught Tenma's eyes widen but he continued, "From then on, I started acting weird and forgetting about other stuffs because all I could concentrate on was the dream..."

"Tsurugi..."

"But then...I don't think this is because of the dream. I really felt something, Tenma. And I like you..." Tsurugi felt all his blood rush to his cheeks, "Seeing Kariya almost getting you remind me of the dream...I won't let you be taken away by him!" Tenma stared at the back of Tsurugi, slowly processing whatever he heard into his mind,

"Thank you." Tsurugi spun his head around in shock and met eyes with Tenma who gave him a smile, which caused a ting ling feeling in his tummy, "I wanted to reject Kariya but didn't know how. Luckily you came by and stopped him. Thank you, Tsurugi."

"Uhm...well..."

"And I can't believe you said that I was yours! Haha!"

"Ah, about that..."

"I'm really happy you said that, Tsurugi." Tenma wrapped his arms around one of Tsurugi's arms, "I want to be yours too!"

"Tenma..."

"Kyousuke..." They both stared immensely into the other's eyes, and then they drew closer to each other and their lips touched to a kiss. It was like time stood still for them when their lips touched, all they could think about was how good the kiss was and definitely how happy each other were. They broke the kiss because of the lack of air but their eye contact still stayed,

"I love you Tenma."

"Love you too, Kyousuke!" They smiled at each other, not letting the other go from the embrace.

Kariya sat by the river bank crying his eyes out. His head buried in the space between his knees and chest. His arms hugging his legs, obscuring the view of his tears dripping on to his pants. His heart broke when he realized Tsurugi admitted that he was Tenma's. He knew it was going to happen but it still hurt. Why was his love life like this!? Doesn't everyone get to have someone to love in his life!? Doesn't he get someone to love him forever!? At that moment, Hikaru came passing by. He spotted the teal haired boy in that position sobbing. Immediately he thought of what Shinsuke told the team, about him falling for Kirino but finding out he loves Shindou and falling for Tenma but knowing he will be with Tsurugi. He felt sorry for him and he could not leave him like this. He decided to go comfort him.

"Kariya-kun." Hikaru noticed the boy flinched but he relaxed after knowing whose voice it was from, "Are you alright?" Hikaru sat beside him, glancing at Kariya before looking at the calm waters of the river,

"Leave me alone, Kageyama-kun..." Kariya choked. Hikaru ignored his words,

"I'm not going to leave, Kariya-kun. I want to stay here and comfort you, even if we don't say anything." Kariya flinched and felt his cheeks heat up by those words. He hugged his legs closer to his chest. All of a sudden, his troubles all disappeared from his mind and he felt delighted to have Hikaru sitting beside him. He decided to stay there with Hikaru's company even if it passes dinner time.

Gouenji stood at the cliff where Endou used to practise at. He watched the sunset, deep in thoughts. A gentle gust of wind blew, snapping him out of his dream world. He reached into his pocket and pull out his cellphone. He flipped it open and eyed the picture of him with his grey haired lover from Hokkaido as his wallpaper. He really was going to do it. There was no backing out now. He pushed some buttons and dialed the number. A few rings came before the person from the other line, and also the person shown on the wallpaper, picked up,

"Fubuki, it's Gouenji. We need to talk..."
