He loved it when you came to his matches, though he'd never admit that.

You were just so hopelessly in love with Rin, the cold and stoic football player in Yumei High. You first met him through an friend who was also in the football team, as you were handing back the notes he gave you during class since you were slacking off. And when you saw the forward player AND one of the tallest amongst the men, Itoshi Rin, you just couldn't help but be captured by his good looks. Obviously, you knew there was no chance with him, and didn't want to make a fool of yourself by confessing.

However, Rin always looks for you in the crowd during his matches. At first, he couldn't give a shit about you, thinking you were some random NPC, until you started coming often and staying longer. The way you would approach him and strike up a conversation while he gave cold remarks, the way you'd give the team a bottle of water after practice, the way you'd lighten up the mood if they lost. He just found it endearing.

But today, you weren't there. He checked every sideline, every single one of the crowd's faces, and still, you weren't there.

One day, you went to hand the football team bottles of water again, and when you handed one to Rin, he was the one who initiated the conversation first.

"You didn't come to the match yesterday." was all he said while opening the cap of the bottle and gulping the water down unbeknownst to the other team members.

Truth is, you were studying for the test your math teacher informed you guys yesterday, and since Maths isn't your forte, you were at the library drinking coffee and studying everything your teacher has taught you so far. But that wasn't important at the moment. The thing is, he noticed?
