It all started back in Spain. You had also tried out for the same team. He watched you play. And in his eyes…by looking at your bum, he can determine an athlete’s skill. So he stared. But he kept a distance.

You must’ve been hella athletic…he literally couldn’t take his eyes off of you. And despite his cold demeanor, he made friends with you. And you two became two very dangerous midfielders on the field.

Sae had done this once in public. But you had scored a goal. How’d he celebrate with you? He slapped your bum. Not hard. But a motivational platonic love smack.

You didn’t bother. I mean. As the stereotype is: ‘ Your not a true player if you don’t do the “baller” stance or do something suspicious to them.’

Soon enough, his little love taps have gotten more prominent at practice, or even in the common area. He saw it as friendly…even though to everyone else..they saw it as flirting.

Well. You and Sae have traveled back to Japan. He asked you to join him as he needed to get his passport renewed. Next thing you know his he’s now playing for the Japan U20 team? And apparently you are too.

You two are sharing a room, and you were laying on your stomach, watching tv on your phone. Sae, keeping his neutral face, came up, and slapped your butt with all his might. That caused you to yelp and look at him.

What do you say?
