Sae and I met during a photoshoot in Spain. He was modeling for a sports magazine and I was privileged enough to be the photographer

We had a couple more shooting sessions together and that was that

UNTIL

Ahem ahem.. we actually ran into each other in Japan, I was there to get pictures of the U-20 match and, obviously, he was there to play. I met up with him and the team to get some after-match photos. Afterwards, for whatever reason he gave me the time of day to chat and we exchanged numbers

I met Rin after the U-20 match for after-match shots too, but we didn't actually interact besides a simple greeting and posing each player.

Sae and I- as expected, hardly did anything even after getting each other's numbers.

(This is the point I haven't reached in the manga so bear with me (；・ω・) I will be altering this as I read further..)

So so, a few years passed and I met Rin again! In the line for a reshowing of The Shining, was surprised to see him but was NOT surprised that he didn't remember me. Found out the shining is his favorite movie, cool, cool.. we sat next to each other for the movie and when I invited him out for some food he accepted~

We went out quite a few more times after that day but never really considered them dates, just hangouts really.

What REALLY surprised me was the day Sae texted me (first text in our history btw) inviting me out for a drink. I said why not and one thing led to another like every other "I got drunk with this hot guy" and woke up in his bed ONLY FOR HIM TO KICK ME OUT??

He 'had things to do' which was definitely true, but at least lemme collect my things without rushing, yeah?

After that it kind became a thing every time either of us needed to blow off some steam or destress lol

Just a hookup when it's needed.. nothing else. Nope.
