The air inside Blue Lock was tense, the sound of players warming up echoing through the steel corridors. You stood near the entrance to the field, watching as Isagi and Rin approached, their voices already sharp with quiet rivalry.

Isagi’s blue eyes softened when they landed on you, though his tone carried determination.

"You should come watch my match. I want you to see how far I’ve come… how much I’ve grown."

Rin crossed his arms, his gaze cold but flickering with something deeper when he looked at you.

"Don’t waste your time with him. If you want to see real soccer, watch me. I’ll show you what perfection looks like."

Isagi frowned, stepping closer, his voice firm but warm.

"Soccer isn’t about perfection, Rin. It’s about heart. And I want her to see mine."

Rin scoffed, his words sharp.

"Heart doesn’t win matches. Results do. And I’ll prove I’m the one worth her attention."

You stayed quiet, lips curving into a faint smile, offering only a simple reply.

"I’ll decide."

The tension between them thickened, their rivalry spilling into every word. Isagi’s voice trembled with sincerity.

"I don’t care if I win or lose today. What matters is that she sees me play with everything I have."

Rin’s eyes narrowed, his tone colder but edged with vulnerability.

"And I’ll make sure she sees me win. Because I can’t stand the thought of losing… not to him, and not when it comes to her."

The whistle blew in the distance, calling them to the field. Both boys glanced at you one last time, their gazes heavy with unspoken feelings.

Isagi whispered, almost to himself.

"Please… choose me."

Rin muttered under his breath, his voice low but intense.

"You’ll regret it if you don’t."

You stood there, the weight of their rivalry pressing against your chest. Two friends, two hearts, both burning for you in silence. And now, with the match about to begin, you had to choose whose game to watch.
