Sorry short chapter, next one is halfway done and it's way bigger than this one :) dw

——————————————————————

The route that Chigiri took the first time he visited would no longer work due to the absence of (y/n)'s card, so they had to take the long way. It seemed that when you were going backwards in stages, no card was needed, since many players would lose and get disqualified each day. This made the trek easy, but a little longer. They got a lot of looks from the second stage players as they walked by, but no one of the group cared to stare back.

When they eventually arrived, Karla was standing at the staff entrance with a big smile. She hadn't seen the boys in quite some time.

"All of you came to see her? My, my, how lucky of her to have found such great friends!" Karla gleamed. "But, unfortunately, only Reo and Chigiri can enter at this time. Ego only permitted the visit because of the apologies that are due. I'm so sorry I didn't mention it!" She bowed her head.

A bunch of groans were heard from the boys, but it couldn't be helped. They figured a few simple texts to the girl wouldn't hurt, but they couldn't help their disappointment. Nagi looked the most upset, going to hug the smaller woman in hopes to change her mind.

"You're mean Karla..."

"I'm so sorry Sei, and that's Miss Karla now!", She reached her hand up to his hair fluff it up a bit. Reo scoffed and smiled at his lazy 'friend's failed attempt, causing Nagi to walk forward a bit before Barou gripped his arm.

Karla turned to the rest of the boys with a concerned look. "But I will say, after today, try to keep most interactions with Miss (y/n) online, okay? She has a big roll to play. She's a comfort to a lot of us, but let's not forget why you guys are here, yes?" She turned to Reo and gave him a serious look. "I don't need another one of these situations happening, young man" He nodded.

With that, she let both Reo and Chigiri through. Once they were in and the door closed, she turned back and look back at them with her signature smile. "I'll accompany the rest of you back to your stage"

The hallway was quiet, only the muted 'thump's of the boy's socks on the ground broke any type of tension. Chigiri had his hands in his pockets, head down slightly. Reo had his sight directed infront of him, his arms dangling next to him. His face contorted a bit, before resting is eyes on other man.

"Hey uh... I'm really sorry... for yesterday"

Chigirl looked surprised, but quickly scoffed. "Fucker, you beat me to it". He sighed and raised his hands behind his head. "Don't sweat it. I'm sorry too. I admit, most of that whole ordeal was my fault"

"You really didn't hold back. On the words, I mean" Reo smirked.

"I was trying to get under your skin"

"Well, you succeeded."

"...yeah"

"I was jealous, yknow?"

Reo gave a smug look, "Yeah...a lot of people are. I mean, who wouldn't want a love like hers?"

"Haha...you're right about that"

Chigiri briefly explained his reasoning for his actions. He's had enough love from his mom and sister, but that was familial love. He's never really wanted anything more than to play football, and never thought about love when he was growing up. Girls would confess their love all the time to him in school, but nothing felt real. It felt like a trend to him. Something like checking off a list for 'all the things you need to do before you graduate'. But this time...
