Disappointment was something Rin went through more than he liked to admit.
Being disappointed by his brother because he could never get him to look his way, being disappointed by his teammates because they're too lukewarm and they're NPCs that can barely keep up.
And disappointment from himself, because he was never good enough to beat his brother.
It wasn’t just that – he wanted validation, he wanted to be someone that his brother could be proud of, he wanted the brother that used to dote and love him back in his life again.
The grief and sorrow that he felt, would swallow him whole at times. Especially way back when, during the times he stayed in his room all alone.
But he could deal with it a little better now, afterall he had you.
Life was almost unbearable and mundane without soccer, because it’s all he’s ever known. It was all that was on his mind for all the years he’s been living on this earth. He didn’t want to think about a world without it.
But to see you, sleeping away on his chest without a care in the world, it made him feel a lot more at peace for some reason.
