9: Goal
A/N: This is a special snippet I wrote to celebrate the opening of FIFA!I always wait for it to happen.
Warm hues of sunset drenched the land as far eyes could go. The water of the river glittered under the retreating sunlight. Kira sat on the stairs of the riverbank with utmost interest focused on the most pristine sight present in front of her.
Namely, Gouenji ran across the field dribbling the ball in zig-zag motion. He didn't have any opposition as he was alone with Kira as his only spectator.
Kira loved to see Gouenji play and she never forgot to notice how his entire face lit up with excitement and delight as he indulged in his most beloved activity.
Kira looked in awe as Gouenji unleashed his signature move 'fire tornado'. The ball almost tore through the goal net and then his feet slowly settled on the grass. Kira jumped up immediately and couldn't help but clap enthusiastically. Gouenji looked over to her and reacted with nothing but his usual cool smirk.
Kira followed her actions with stepping down the stairs and walking up to Gouenji. She reached over to him and sighed happily, still spellbound by the scene she had witnessed moments ago,
"You're so amazing." The words escaped her lips without even trying.
"I haven't played in a while. My moves have become rusty." He sighed in dissatisfaction.
"Wow....I can't believe you." Was all Kira could say.
After a pause she spoke again, " One of these days, I'd like to learn the basics too. " She said in contemplation.
"Then why not today?" Gouenji commented.
Kira spent a couple of moments thinking about the offer, she was nervous about making a fool of herself but on the other hand she couldn't say no to Gouenji.
After about an hour and a half, Kira had figured it out a bit. Slowly and lightly she tried to dribble the ball, stopping often as she lost control over it and it took detours from its path. She finally succeeded in taking it near the goal.
"What do I do now?" She turned back to Gouenji, who was watching her with keen amusement.
"Kick it into the goal." He encouraged her with a smile.
Kira followed his instructions and kicked the ball as hard as she could. It rolled straight into the net as there was no one to stop it.
"I did it!" She jumped, happy with her conquest. She then turned and ran up to Gouenji and repeated herself,
"Shuuya! Did you see that?I made a goal!" She exclaimed in childlike excitement. Gouenji had never seen her like this. He couldn't help but find her enthusiasm endearing.
"Yah, I saw that. I'm so proud of you. " He answered and placed a kiss on top of her head.
