the beach was rin’s favourite place. after the U-20s match ended in success, anri managed to convince ego to allow a mini break to relax. it was mid summer so what was better than a private beach with unlimited food and cabins?

the sun beamed down on the glossy sea as the waves reached the shore damping the sand. some like nagi were sunbathing on a lounger while others like isagi were playing volleyball allowing their egos to burn even during “vacation.” it was heaven.

meanwhile you and rin were sat on a high wall that separated the beach from the public watching the waves gently crash against the stone wall. the two of you sat side by side with a half melted ice cream basking in the silent success of victory against the U-20s.

oddly enough you were able to get close to rin despite his stoicism due to how well your egos worked together. every morning the two of you would silently train side by side exchanging little words but a bond was formed. that was proved after a chemical reaction that took place during the intense match something not even ego could predict.
