Idol's Inspiration

Shhhhh...
Warm, steaming water is pouring over her body. Her soft skin is being washed from the sweat and mud after a long and hard match. Her heart is still beating like wild although this nice water is doing amazing in calming her down.

Steam is surrounding her naked body under the shower that is supposed to wash away all the cries and marks that were left on her gentle body after the intense football match.

She turned off the water, her long silver hair lazily sticking to her wet body as she grabs a towel and wraps it around herself. She gazes at two piles of clothes. One was her team football dress. Yellow stripes on the while cloth were representing the name of her team - Mlbb White Tigers.
There is a golden number on it. The player under number six was none other than Miya.

On the other pile, there is her usual clothes. She needed to get changed into something that wasn't soaking wet. She quickly dried herself and then put on the casual blue jeans and a light blue crop top. It's summer and outside is terribly hot - her hair will dry on the sun, no use of using hair dryer.

She made a quick ponytail just to prevent her hair from sticking to her body and left the bathroom. She was with the rest of her team, in their football camp. They have officially reached quarter-finals now but it was no big deal for them. Her team is going for victory.

Now, they're having a day off and since the sun is still up, she might get outside and catch some of its warm light. She opened the door, putting on just simple snickers and walked outside just to be met with two girls on the fence gate being pushed away by the security.

Miya watched them for a moment. One of them had long purple braid and cheergunning uniform while the other one had slightly shorter black hair. She had a copy of Miya's dress and as soon as they noticed the famous female football player, they started fangirling badly.

"Oh my goodness!! That's Miya!" The black haired girl screamed pointing at the silver haired elf who still isn't used to the fame.

The purple-haired one who was standing next to her quickly turned towards her. She screamed in excitement and slightly jumped in place few times. "I can't believe!!"

Miya chuckled slightly with amused look in her eyes. She took few steps forwards walking up to the fence. "Hello, my ladies." She said with a smile arching her lips. "What is bringing you here?"

They both now screamed in the same time looking at each other before dashing to the fence where Miya was leaned on. "I-is this really you? Is this really happening??" The purple-haired girl asked touching the elf's hand.

She chuckled and squeezed back the hand, shaking it. "It's me, Miya, with flesh and blood. And who is this lovely girl I'm speaking with?" She asked.

"L-lesley..." She started before, a moment after her hand was squeezed by her celebrity crush, blood started flowing out of her nose. Her expression was giving away her amazement and the surprise to be lucky enough, not only to see her senpai but also to speak with her in real life.

The black haired girl looked over at her friend. "Shoot! Don't get too excited!!" She said grabbing a tissue paper and placing it over Lesley's nose.

Miya chuckled before asking: "Is she alright? Man... I've never thought I'd ever have a fan faint in front of me... Please don't let her be the first one." She spoke gently, her words were touching the ears of the two girls like petals of gentle spring flowers. "I know. Why don't the two of you come inside and have a glass of water?"

At that moment, the emotions overwhelmed the purple haired football fan, her legs weakened and within a moment, she was on her way towards the floor. Power went out in her brain and the body was left for her friend to catch.

"Ouch... D-did I do something w-wrong?" Miya asked raising an eyebrow. "Um... This is scary."

"Uhh... Don't worry." The black haired girl said. "She is just like... your biggest fan. Excuse me, I'll just bring her home--" She offered not wanting to be rude by asking to stay there until she woke up but luckily, the young yet famous elf didn't have the heart to leave her hanging with an unconscious friend.

"Please. You can stay here for awhile. Hey, Saber, get over here and help the ladies in, would you?" She called for the security man with a gentle smile. "I don't think I caught your name by the way." She added gazing at the black-haired girl once again.

"Oh, it's Hanabi." She replied softly smiling while the security was taking the unconscious Lesley and slowly carrying her inside. Miya motioned Hanabi to follow her inside too and asked: "So... Where are you two staying? I'm guessing you have a room somewhere?"

Hanabi looked away slightly embarrassed. "Well... to be honest... We don't. I mean, we're camping nearby with few other people. That's the best two students can afford." She admitted.

"What?? No way!" Miya jumped in surprise. She then suddenly grinned, she had an idea which would for sure make their day... "Hey. Since, you've come this long way just to support me and my team, I guess it'd be alright to reward you for it, what do you think?"

Hanabi's eyes widened. Despite her not being as much of Miya's fan as Lesley was, she was hyped about this. There was something in her way of speaking, something that made the offer sound adventurous and exciting.

At this point, they were inside the large building that was currently used as White Tigers' base on this World Cup and Lesley slowly started waking up as her nose bleeding stopped, luckily. "Hm... W-what happened....?" She started, everything in front of her still blurry.

Few moment later, after the mysterious fog cleared, it revealed the sight of her favourite football star standing right in front of her. "Oh-- Wait..." She mumbled, taking few moments to remember. Did she pass out? That'd be terribly embarrassing. She blushed slightly at the lone thought of it.

Miya just chuckled and smiled at her with a very warm smile as she offered her a glass of water. "Welcome back Lesley, right? Sorry for all the problems this might have caused."

The purple-haired girl's eyes widened. "Oh my... She remembers my name!!" She jumped up stumbling back slightly since her body was still recovering from the blackout.

Hanabi watched her friend with worry. "Are you sure you're okay? You look a little pale." She mumbled, hoping it's nothing serious.

Miya watched her with a friendly expression before walking up to her and pressing her cold hand against Lesley's forehead. Her moves caused the girl's cheeks to start burning like wildfire. She was so close to the girl she was obsessed with.

All the walls of Lesley's room were covered in Miya's posters and her team posters, she even had their a plushie featuring White Tigers' mascot, the white tiger Leo. On the posters she looked amazing, like a model but in reality, she looked thousand times better, like an angel walking over the earth. She wanted to kiss her so badly... and their faces were so close... yet it was unreachable.

"Good, you don't have fever. I already got worried."

Miya pulled back and gazed at Hanabi, blowing away an uncontrollable strand of hair that kept on falling in her right eye before turning back to Lesley, having her arms crossed just slightly under her breasts.

Lesley watched, going mute. She couldn't get herself to say anything or even move a muscle in her body. She couldn't help it, she still didn't believe it was really happening. She was scared - what if it's just a dream, what is she just received a blow in head and was now imagining things?

If it is true then she'll already take advantage of this beautiful dream and enjoy the situation, whether it's real or not.

... But before she was able to say anything, Miya spoke: "Oh and by the way, I was just about to invite you two to stay with us for a night. I've heard you're camping and thought it'd be nice to spare you from the cold of the night for one night." At that point, she winked to Lesley and the girl immediately felt like she was on her way to heaven.

"Seriously??! Oh wow! I never thought this would actually happen outside from my dreams and fantasies!" Lesley said to what Hanabi added: "Yes! This is so amazing! Thank you so much for this!!" The two were almost so happy that they could start jumping around the room and screaming what Miya found very amusing.

"I like you. You're so funny." The young football player said with a chuckle. "Oh, and what time is it?" She added, spinning around, looking for a clock somewhere.

Despite staying in that place for good two weeks now, she still didn't get used to it. It was huge though, it has to store about thirty people in it anyway. When you count in all the players, their coach, the medic team and all other helpers, the number simply grows, and with it, the size of the building grows too.

Lesley checked her pocket watch and said: "It's almost 10 o'clock."

"What? Is it already that late? The time is really flowing by us while we aren't watching." She said. "Are you girls hungry? I could get us some food. Guys have probably already had dinner by now..."

"Hm... I could eat..." Hanabi said with an unsure expression. She didn't really mind either way.

"Hm... And may I suggest what can we do throughout this lovely evening?" Lesley asked with a smirk. Her expression interested Miya, she wanted to know what did she have in mind. "I just hope it doesn't include drinking, I have to live healthy ya' know." She said with a soft chuckle.

Hanabi could already guess she was speaking about...

"Truth or Dare."

***

"Ha! Lesley asks Miya. I'm interested." The black haired girl said with an amused smile. Whole evening, they've been having fun asking random questions and doing stupid challenges and dares.

"I think I've had enough of dares for tonight so I guess you're getting a chance to ask me whatever your heart desires." The football player said with a smile as she laid back on her bed, watching the purple haired girl who was thinking of a perfect question.

The three were sitting in Miya's room, on her bed, more precisely. The fresh air is coming in from an open window and the night was whispering secrets of love to the moon.

Lesley was feeling something throughout the night, every time Miya would give her a dare or a question, every time they'd speak, or even gaze at each other. It wasn't love, far from it indeed, but she felt attraction towards the silver haired girl and her best friend could sense it as well judging by her actions and reactions that were just trying to get the two girls closer together.

She has already made them dance waltz and even a small peck on the cheek for what Lesley was very grateful although at first she felt slightly awkward about it.

It's weird, life I mean, it's paths are often different than what we imagine. One moment, you're standing in front of a giant wall separating you from your fantasies and the next moment, you're there, watching your dreams coming true. Many times it's just the accidental combination of events that brought you to where you're standing but you wouldn't give up your position for anything.

Lesley felt just like that. And she truly wanted to ask her celebrity crush a question that has been on her mind for a while now... but she was afraid Miya could get offended by such a question. Maybe it would completely change the way she sees her but then again, if she wasted a chance like this, she might never be able to get an answer.

"Would you willingly have a girlfriend?" She asked, gathering up all the strength and courage in her body to make her voice sound less shaky and nervous.

Miya was visibly surprised by the question but instead of questioning Lesley about the thought that was standing behind her question, she simply answered it: "I've always seen myself as a person open to trying new things so I don't see why not. I mean, I'm riding solo for now and have never tried anything similar so... why not?"

She smiled warmly, not even knowing how much excitement she was creating in the mind of this one girl who has been dreaming about this her whole life. Light bulbs were dancing in Lesley's eyes while she was watching her, wide smile spreading across lips of the girl who was an angel in her eyes.

Miya noticed it and decided to play along. For her this was just a game, something that would stay inside of these walls as all three of them agreed before they started. She leaned closer to Lesley with an amused smirk before asking: "Am I to expect next dare being to kiss you? If so, why don't we skip the formalities?"

Hanabi put a hand over her mouth muffling her silent fangirling while Lesley took her chance and kissed her idol.

After seeing how Miya doesn't pull back, Lesley wrapped arms around her, holding her close. Then, the purple-haired girl separated and whispered into her ear: "You don't know for how long I've been fantasizing about this moment."

Hanabi now came up with an amazing idea. While the two were too busy whispering and watching each other, she silently got up and sneaked over to the door like a ninja she was. She knew the ninja classes would pay off one day. With a move of her hand, she opened the door and turned a simple game of truth or dare into a sweet 'night in heaven'.

With that, Miya and Lesley were left alone. The football star at first didn't even notice it but Lesley did, and she made sure to make the best of it.

The last Hanabi could see before closing the door was a scene of her best friend hovering over the silver-haired elf caressing her cheek. She was enjoying it with a slight blush on her cheeks.

At this point, Hanabi just closed the door, wanting to let her best friend enjoy in peace without her to bother. She could just imagine what was happening behind the closed door. She could hear or see nothing that'd give her a hint of what's happening because she just left them be and waited for the night to pass.

***

It's another sunny day. It's terribly hot and the sun is boiling everything that it finds in its way and in the middle of the unmerciful heat, there happened to be a stadium. An overcrowded stadium hosting Quarter-finals of the World Football Cup.

The player of White Tigers under the number 6 is having the ball. There is five opponents standing in front of her. She passed one, she passed two, she passed three and now found herself in a great position to shoot through the gap between the two of them.

She was ready and focused but just at the moment when she shot, she felt a slight pull from the side making her lose balance. She fell to the ground, the fall kicking the air out of her lungs. The ball was rolling towards the goal but rolled out of the field passing beside the goal.

She missed.

She fell and whole vision was blurry. She could hear a whistle and muffled cheering. Woah, people are excited that she missed, she thought. She felt a hands trying to move her, trying to get her up again but her gaze was just moving along the stadium. There were so many Croatian fans... they were absolute favourites for this round and so little of those who cheered for Mlbb White Tigers yet her eyes fell upon one.

She would find her purple hair amongst thousands of others, she was there to cheer for her and now was jumping up and down, her arms moving through the said. She must be disappointed and angry now that she has missed... she'd just close her eyes and try to forget but she had to keep going.

After few moments, she managed to get up and pull herself back together when the captain of her team walked up to her. "Miya? Are you okay? Will you be fine to shoot the penalty shot?"

She was slightly shook. Didn't she just miss? Where did that come from? Then she remembered the pull... and the following whistle. She looked around. People were cheering and the referee pointed at the white spot 11 meters away from the goal.

She remembered Lesley's face. When she thought about it again, she was cheering for her, wishing she got up and scored a goal for her team. She couldn't let her down. "I will shoot." She said, her voice filled with determination and wish to win.

She walked up to the ball which was set at the white spot. She focused on the goalkeeper and he focused on her. For all the people who were cheering for her, for all those who had faith in her, for all those who went far away from their homes your to be there during this match, she kicked the football with everything she had in her.

The goalkeeper threw himself as far as he could, spreading his arms and hands wide trying to reach the ball and in the end, he reached the ball. He reached it with his hand but just slightly shifting it's path upwards which still resulted in the ball ending up in the goal after colliding with the inside part of the goalpost.

The loud cheering and screams of happiness soon filled up whole stadium as Miya ran happily towards her team who all cheered as the goal shot them in the lead. They hugged and jumped on her but she paid them little attention. In the end, she just sent one last gaze towards the audience.

Her gaze met Lesley's and she sent her a small smile. Although she didn't know her well and they met each other for the first time just several days ago, she felt something in her heart play. The feeling just opposite to the feeling of sadness that filled her body when the two separated after the day they spent together. She was cursing herself for not asking for Lesley's number.

But now, it is just a memory, locked up the the past yet she promised herself she'll make it right.
At that moment, she whispered under her breath: "Lesley... We'll meet up again... And you will kiss me again."
