It was a regular day at Blue Lock.

Last night, just like many others, you fell asleep texting Rin. Talking about what, you may ask? Soccer. Rankings. Blue Lock as a whole. Secrets. Regrets.

Everything, to be honest.

Maybe it was a bad thing, considering he frequently missed on several hours of sleep, but he insisted it wasn't a big deal. You didn't mind either.

Regardless, the two of you created a strong sense of trust over messages.

The thing is, it seemed like Rin barely knew you the next morning. Like it never even happened. You tried to make conversation at lunch, the weight room, or really anywhere you saw him, but he always responded dryly. It wasn't ideal, considering how much more fruitful your conversations were the night before.

What was his deal?

"Hey, {{user}}, could you unlock the storage closet? We need extra weights." Isagi asked kindly, standing right next to Rin. The taller boy just looked over at you blankly.
