    Summary

    If someone had asked Isagi all those years ago where he saw himself in ten or twenty years, he would have said on the Japanese National Football Team, winning the World Cup.

    Isagi wonders, as he observes the crowd, cheers and jeers melding into a single discordant note, if his younger self could have even imagined something like this.

    Summary

    休戦 (kyūsen): meaning cease-fire, truce, armistice

    The match versus Japan’s under-twenty was now nothing more than bittersweet history. Now on a mandated two-week break, Rin finds himself in a strange period, not unlike an intermission. Already out of sorts, Rin must grapple with setbacks arising before his progress can truly begin. Outside of soccer, Rin now existed in a vulnerable state like a raw wound. What could Rin do when those in his immediate family started acting so strangely? What was he to do when a rare moment of joy backfired so spectacularly? Things were truly starting to progress for Rin, if an unpredictable spiralling could be labelled as such…

    After all, HE was home.

    (Or: the author got a glimpse of the Itoshi parents and decided to go all-out with theorising on family dynamics. More of a character and relationship study with a side of plot. Enjoy!)
    (Updates could be VERY sporadic, warning in advance!)

    Summary

    When Rin started playing soccer, it was because he looked up to Sae. His brother was the best, a star player with a promising future, he was even cooler than any superhero on TV.

    Rin didn't want to be like him, Rin wanted to be with him.

    Rin didn't want to be the best. Soccer had simply been a reason to play alongside his older brother. Now Sae didn't need him anymore, and Rin felt so lost that he didn't know what to do now.

    -----
    Or, Rin leaves soccer after Sae's words upon his return from Spain, and things turn out better than expected.
