ever since the horror movie you starred in released in theatres, it’s been the talk amongst the public and tabloids.
your acting is superb! reviewers said.
. . . the movie even got an average of a 4.3/5 stars on letterboxd. and that was saying something, considering how pretentious letterboxd users are.
but sincerely, it was all because of you and your acting. how real it felt, how gut wrenching the expressions you made were — the impact of the lines you said.
when rin first watched it, he thought one thing; holy shit.
you’ve always taken up acting — it was your primary dream. your ambition. so rin had high expectations, considering how hard you’ve been working to have something like this come true. and boy, were his expectations raised exceptionally after watching your movie.
“rin, we saw your girlfriend’s movie,” karasu smirked, otoya right beside him.
the locker room was littered with the u-20 team changing out of their soccer kits, some freshly out of the shower.
. . . including the butt-ass naked bachira, who was drying his hair with a towel as he walked over to karasu and otoya cornering poor rin who was sitting on a bench. he was just trying to take off his cleats. he did not want to see this!
“rin! your girlfriend’s acting was phenomenal!” bachira beamed. “she has to—”
“bachira. . .” otoya hummed, his face reddening. “you should probably . . uh . . put clothes on before butting in here.”
“all of you idiots need to go away,” rin grimaced from where he was sitting on the bench.
“but seriously rin!” karasu chuckled. “she might get her first oscar before you get your first worldcup!”
rin shot up, standing tall. karasu’s smiled slightly faltered, but the teasing glint in his eyes stayed all the same. bachira and otoya watched, blinking blankly. for some reason bachira was still watching, his dick ever so present for everyone to see. it was bigger than average . . . somehow.
“i know how good she was,” rin began, his words dragged off his tongue deliberately. “she was—”
“—baaachhiirraaa!” isagi screeched from his locker, his face entirely pink. “where are your clothes! i thought we stopped this habit!”
isagi’s grating voice made rin’s words die in his throat. as well as everyone’s attention it seemed, since karasu and otoya shot their eyes towards isagi, who was more of a tomato than anything right now.
bachira giggled melodically. “oh, isagi! it’s all natural,” he purred, beginning to walk towards his locker to actually start putting some clothes on.
isagi shook his head, haunted by the image of a nude bachira. then, his gaze caught rin, and his big blue eyes bubbled with sparkles again.
“rin!” isagi smiled.
rin internally groaned as he watched isagi start stepping over.
“saw your girlfriend’s mov—”
“did everybody here see my girlfriend’s movie or something?” rin interrupted, sighing dramatically.
then, walking from the direction of the showers, shidou caught sight of the conversation, beginning to head over. and of course with a grin that was so agonizingly painful for rin to look at. rin wished he had a gun.
“the team had a watch party for it! it was all the talk online so we had one,” shidou spoke. “and we didn’t invite you.”
rin snorted. “i don’t care anyway.”
shidou shrugged, continuing to walk over to his own locker.
rin didn’t go to any of the movie premieres with you during promotion. the schedules were just too conflicting. but he did make sure that when he had his holiday, watching your movie would be the first thing he did. and indeed, it was.
. . . he wouldn’t tell you he put in all that effort, though. and especially not any of the lukewarm dick-tuggers on his soccer team.
isagi gave an apologetic smile. “i had tried convincing them, rin, but—”
“i really don’t care,” rin interrupted.
then, rin sat back down on the bench, trying to finish his task of untying his cleats. everyone around was looking at him as he did so, and rin could feel their prompting gazes ever so intensely.
so, he spoke again, but in a quieter murmur. “. . . m’really proud of her. okay?” he looked up. “is that what you guys are waiting to hear?”
otoya giggled like a little girl. “hehe, yeeesss. maybe.”
karasu put a hand over his mouth, his body vibrating with the most annoying giggling. “rinnie is in looovvveee!”
rin’s cheeks went entirely pink as he shot his gaze down to the floor. he tried suppressing the pooling warmth cascading along his body — but it was entirely out of control.
because, yeah.
he is in loooovvveee.
rin finished taking off his cleats, picking them up as he stood up from the bench.
“tell her we loved the movie, rin,” isagi said before walking back to his own locker.
“yeah, and tell her i want her number,” otoya added.
“you’re not getting anything from her,” rin immediately said. “she’s way out of your league.”
karasu chuckled, giving rin a light pat on the shoulder that rin tried tensing away from. “but seriously, itoshi. you have someone really talented. don’t take that for granted.”
then, karasu pulled away, his taunting smirk easing into a considerate smile. rin let his words absorb in his mind, and somehow, rin found himself speaking without any restraint.
“. . . yeah,” rin began. “i love her more than anything.”
all three boys’ eyes widened. frozen in place, rin didn’t know how to come back from the truth-vomit.
“uhh. .” his shaky voice stumbled out of his mouth, unable to be taken back.
but, the tension slightly wavered when otoya asked the stupid question, “dude . . more than . . even soccer?”
rin scoffed. “don’t be stupid.”
“weeelll,” karasu began, stretching his words out as if it would override the awkwardness. “that’s very cute. puppy love.”
“eugh,” rin grimaced at the term. “just leave me alone, now.”
karasu and otoya exchanged a glance before finally, thankfully, they started walking away. rin let out a big exhale, moving to start packing away his cleats.
love her more than anything, rin repeated in his head.
it felt so true. maybe it was an exaggeration or a hyperbole — but rin’s love for you was so big.
you were so talented. so perfect in the movie. you were phenomenal.
rin hummed in thought as he began mentally rehearsing how he could tell you all these things without seeming stupid. the second he would get home, he was going to show you just proud he really is of you.
