going to spain means he'd get to meet you.

from a young age, he saw you playing on the TV. despite being the same age as him-- you were already on his dream team, re al youth team. waving goodbye to his parents in brother, he was off.

re al youth was extremely tough. it was nothing like japan was. japan was easy-going. spain was.. harsh. no matter the weather, practices weren't cancelled. snow? better bundle up. rain? bring an umbrella. heatwaves? well, hope you brought water.

learning spanish was tough, though. he couldn't even count how many times he's been called a 'perra' here on all 10 fingers, whatever that means.

so, perra meant bitch.

he asked you what it meant, and he was greeted with you starting to laugh.

speaking of you, both you and him had actually grown quite close. practicing drills together, offering him your water when he finished, staying after practice together, passing to each other, you teaching him spanish.

spain wasn't that bad, for now.

he'd gotten into a fight with another team member.

he'd gotten angry after they had messed up the goal, then the other team member said it was because of his lukewarm pass. then it escalated to a physical alteration, which led to you patching him up.
