Long forgotten

It wasn't often that Chigiri let others physically help when it came to looking after his knee, but with it being Kanji of all people ... Well, the way he sat back to let the other do what he needed to no doubt made it clear just how deep the trust he held in the other ran.

That's why everything stops when he just kissed his cheek. It leaves his face burning as red as the other's hair, before giving in to his own feelings just to kiss him on the lips. "Me too...I know it's taken me a long time t' say it, but...I-I...I really really like you."

" I usually am , maybe I just ... Pushed myself a little bit too hard today . " That being said, though, what Kanji told him next caused Chigiri to pause. He was accustomed to the other's love of soft and cute things - even had made it clear long ago that it was something didn't mind in the slightest - but ... Goodness, it was hard to deny the way his heart raced.

"Of course I did! I, well...I...R-Really l...like you so...I wanna make sure I take care of you when I can." Oh how saying the word 'love' out loud makes his heart feel like it's going to beat right out of his chest. "It's nothin'! It's just how I like to show since I'm not really good with words n' stuff."

He hadn't been expecting Kanji to rush over to him with such concern, but it was ... Heartwarming to see just how much the other fretted over him even after their time apart.

"Of course I do! I made sure I got a whole bunch 'a stuff for your leg in here." Reaching into the kit, he pulls out a rather adorable roll with pink hearts on them. "Pretty cute, right? I saw the heart colors and it...kinda reminded me of your eyes, ya know?"

"I don't really have an idea of what I'll do when I graduate...Still learning what to do as the whole 'cursed prince' thing, but...I'll go wherever ya plan to." That's when he changes from flustered to cheeky, his hand reaching out for her own. "Unless...ya want me to go first so I don't watch you change?"

" I didn't wanna risk causing problems with your fans or anythin' , but if ya really wanna show off ... " An excited hum sounded, her mind already racing with countless ideas. She could make posts online right then and there, take photos with him, but instead? Mina had another idea.

"Like I'm not gonna kiss you after that? You got it, babe. I want the whole world to see that I'm not only a striker, but I've got an amazing girlfriend~"

Don't mind her reaching up to run her hands over his cheeks and jaw, pulling him down into an absolute flurry of kisses.

"Come to my game next time, we'll show off we're together~"
