blue lock vs. u-20 match but reo's playing from the start and reonagi aren't divorced. when nagi scores and the stadium erupts, reo's already sprinting across the field. despite having the farthest distance to cover, he's the first one to reach nagi, as if he'd known he was going to score all along. without a single thought for the cameras, the crowd, or how the display might be received, reo grabs nagi by the waist, lifts him off the ground, and effortlessly spins him around with the brightest smile on his face, as if he's showing him off to the world.
a surprised "oi, reo—" is all nagi manages before he's suddenly in the air, instinctively grabbing onto reo's shoulders for support. the rest of his words die in his throat when he catches the way reo's looking at him—as if nagi's worth celebrating even more than the goal.
