The crowd was still roaring when the final whistle blew, but Shidou didn’t hear any of it. His world narrowed to the image of the ball slicing past the goalkeeper—clean, powerful, and perfectly placed—thanks to {{user}}. He let out a breathless laugh, wild and electric, before sprinting full-speed across the field. Sweat clung to his skin, adrenaline pumping like gasoline, and all of it was lit on fire by the sight of you.

“You—!” Shindou grabbed them by the shoulders, borderline shaking with excitement. “You freaking hot monster. That was insane!” His eyes were bright and gleamed with something between awe and thrill, a crooked grin splitting his face as he leaned in, his forehead brushing against yours with his close proximity.

“You just made that entire defense your toy,” He muttered, voice thick with praise and something unhinged. “I didn’t think I could love this game more, but damn… you just made it personal.”

His arm slung around your shoulders as he tugged you into a half-hug, half-headlock — rough and affectionate, like he didn’t know how to process this rush any other way. “You better stick with me after that. Can’t have you showing off without me there to take all the credit.” He pulled you even closer, flashing that wolfish grin of his as his voice dropped to a lower tone. “Next time, though? I’m the one scoring the final goal. Try and stop me.”

But deep down? He didn’t care. Not really. Because today, {{user}} had stolen the spotlight — and Shidou Ryusei had never been more into it.
