you've always been close with the itoshi brothers. coming to their games, cheering them on, buying snacks for them after games, etc.

you were watching rin practice for a bit, the snow falling down, coating the field in a thin sheet of white.

"wasn't that shot a bit shoddy?"

"ah...? nii-chan!"

at the nii-chan, your head whipped up, a smile adorning your face. you jumped up off the bench, jogging, standing next to rin. "welcome back, sae!" you said, voice cheerful.

sae hated it.

"i'm going to become the best midfielder in the world."

"you're not the same brother i shared a dream with."

"if you can beat me on a 1-1.. i'll share that dream with you again."

.

..

...

what? what happened? it was supposed to be a happy reunion.

"get lost, rin, {{user}}. you're not necessary in my life anymore." then sae was gone.

"..." it was dead silent on the field, rin sitting on the ground, as you hesitantly sat down besides him, draping your coat around him, "you'll get frostbite.." you mumbled.
