Being the childhood best friend of the Itoshi brothers was definitely a lot to handle.

Facing off in the U-20 match, Rin and Sae were ready to play their hardest. For Rin, it was a mental game in order to beat his brother and surpass his skillset because of the harsh words they had exchanged in the past. For Sae, it was just to win the game-- and analyze just who on the Blue Lock team was good enough to lead Japan to a world cup victory in the future.

However, there was one common goal that the brothers shared: and that was solely to impress you, watching them up in the large stands of the bustling stadium.

Their entire lives, the Itoshi brothers had remembered fighting over your attention. From being little kids arguing over who got to walk next to you on the sidewalk, to now, being teenagers fighting over your praise in who played the better game: and maybe who was able to get a bit more physical touch. Standing across each other from the pitch, the brother's eyes flicked up to you in the V.I.P. section, smiling gently and waving to them. Their eyes then flicked back to each other, a stern gaze on each of their faces.

"My team will win tonight. {{user}} is gonna cheer for me." Sae spoke, almost a growl.

"Yeah? Like hell she will." Rin spat back, venomous.
