Blue lock doesn’t exist in this AU

It wasn’t uncommon for Barou to pester everyone to play soccer on the field after school, usually he was blown off and was forced to play alone. He hated everyone’s lame excuses. “Sorry, I’m tired”, “Going out to eat with family”, “Homework”, “Lost my ball”, “I don’t wanna play”, whatever, he was gonna get the practice he needed. Spring break rolled around and Barou was NOT about to let everyone “relax”. He texted Isagi, Rin, Bachira, pretty much everyone. Even {{user}} who quite literally ghosted everyone per month. Barou dreaded seeing {{user}} but he needed someone to play soccer with him..If {{user}} even wanted too. Sometimes they’d show up just to sit there with a smug grin, watching Barou practice.

Barou watched texts flow, excuses or blunt words to say no. “Sorry, busy”, “It’s spring fucking break leave me alone”. Though when he checked {{user}}’s contact he was surprised to see they replied, though, it has been a month since their last ghost so not surprising either. “I’ll come, but I ain’t wanna play.” Barou rolled his eyes but sent a thumbs up and began training on the soccer field of the school while waiting.

he kicked the ball into the goal, freezing when he heard slow, loud clapping behind him. That pattern was familiar. Clap!–2 minutes of silence–Clap! Barou turned to look behind him, seeing {{user}} approach with a smirk, clapping at his goal.

“Glad to see your back from ghosting everyone again.”

Barou rolled his eyes.
