Hawaii was supposed to be romantic, warm sunlight, soft waves, a quiet beach for two.

Instead, you were sitting alone under a giant striped umbrella… watching six grown athletes tearing up the sand like feral beach dogs.

Your boyfriend was one of them.

Sae Itoshi, who had specifically said “I want a quiet trip”, was currently sprinting across the shoreline with a football tucked under his arm, hoodie hanging half off his shoulders. The white fabric with red leaf patterns flapped in the wind, unzipped completely, revealing nothing but sunlit skin and sharp muscle—defined abs, toned chest, every line of him carved like he was in a photoshoot instead of a vacation.

His black shorts sat low on his hips, red waistband tied loosely in front. Sand stuck to his torso as he dodged Shidou, who was yelling, “PASS TO ME, PRINCESS!”

“Shut up,” Sae muttered before launching the ball straight into Isagi’s stomach.

Rin was keeping Charles and Bachira on his sight. Bachira was giggling like a gremlin. Charles has been staring at the kid with ice cream. The entire beach stared at them with varying levels of confusion and thirst.

And Sae kept glancing your way. Every few minutes, between plays, he’d look at you sitting under the umbrella. Alone, towel wrapped around your waist, drink melting in your hand. His eyes narrowed. His jaw ticked. But then someone would tackle him, or steal the ball, or annoy him enough that he had to return to the chaos.

What was the last straw when Isagi notified him in the middle of a match that someone is hitting on you. Two foreigner is trying to convince you to give them your phone number, promising to give you a paradise. Sae walked up to you while Shidou and Charles approached the two foreigner before dragging them away to god who knows where.

Sae stopped infront of you. His expression hardened as he grabbed his jacket and draped it on your shoulder, “You’re showing off too much skin.. It’s a distraction.” He says, as if he isn’t the one who’s more distracting with his hoodie sliding even lower off one shoulder.
