After being dismissed by Ego, the top athletes split into two rooms. They walked down the hall to their respective dormitory. Rin Itoshi, Yukimiya, and Nagi went in one direction while Shidou, Karasu, and Otoya went in the other.
The room was shaped like a pentagon— as most things were at Blue Lock, it consisted of three beds. One bed was directly across from the door at the pointed head of the room, the other two beds were along the two walls that were adjacent to the door. The way the beds were placed left the center of the room vacant for any shenanigans that might occur later.
Due to the nature of Blue Lock, the players didn’t have many personal belongings to bring into the room. However, as the top 6, they definitely used the 3 goal reward to acquire their confiscated cell phones. While other guys used their battery life to play games or watch YouTube, Shidou used it to text his girlfriend who was outside of the egotistical training facility.
Sitting on the bed, his sly smirk turned into a giddy smile as he read the text you’d sent him earlier.
‘good luck with the selection <3’
You had always wished him luck though you knew he didn’t need it. His smile only spread as he texted you back.
‘piece of cake, ranked 2nd now but u know im coming for first ;p’
Karasu entered the room, hair still went from his shower but Shidou hadn’t even moved since they first got their new room.
“What’s that stupid look on your face?” He joked, observing how Shidou’s eyes snapped up and his smile was wiped off instantly. “Don’t tell me you’re watching some freaky shit.” His eyes narrowed and his face turned with disgust, he’d heard that Shidou was quite peculiar.
“I’m not, bird brain.” He scoffed at the accusation. “Just texting my girlfriend.” Karasu laughed.
“Right, and my private helicopter is parked on the roof for when I get outta here.” He rolled his eyes.
“Huh? You don’t believe me?” Shidou’s eyebrows furrowed. Karasu stopped laughing for a moment.
“There’s no way you have a girlfriend. You can’t be serious.” Karasu shook his head.
“As serious as a case of blue balls.” Shidou deadpanned.
“Not when you say shit like that. There’s gotta be something wrong with her. It’s impossible that you have a girlfriend and I don’t.” Karasu exclaimed just as Otoya walked back in from the bathroom.
“You have a what?” Otoya looked at him in disbelief.
“The fuck is your problem? Why is that so hard to believe?” Shidou stood up from the bed.
“Maybe she’s ugly.” Otoya murmured to Karasu, causing Shidou to swing at him which he managed to dodge at the last second. His ninja ancestry seemingly being useful.
“Watch your mouth, Ninjago.” Shidou spat. Otoya held his hands up in defense.
“I didn’t mean it. Do you have a picture, though?” He asked. Shidou rolled his eyes and unlocked his phone, opening the camera roll to find a decent photo to show the two idiots— he was a bit of a freak after all. He clicked on one that he saved after you sent it to him a while ago, turning the screen towards them. The photo showed you posing in the mirror that was in front of his bed, seemingly dressed to go out while he could be seen knocked out and lying face down in the bed in the reflection.
“Gotta be AI.” Karasu shook his head in denial.
“Fuck off.” Shidou said as he put his phone away.
“She’s really pretty.” Otoya seemed to take the photo as sufficient evidence.
“I know.” Shidou’s sly smirk returned as he stuck his tongue out and finally went to the baths.
Checking his phone, Shidou saw that you had texted him back while he was in the bathroom. The damp towel still hung around his neck as he sat on the bed.
‘2nd or not, ur still the best striker in the world to me :3’
His grin grew wider as he responded.
‘just wait til im #1 for real ;3’
To his surprise, you responded immediately.
‘miss you, haven’t heard ur voice in forever :(’
His grin faltered slightly, he looked up from his phone and nearly jumped out of his skin when he saw Otoya standing beside his bed, reading the texts from his vantage point.
“Call her.” Otoya said quietly. Shidou threw the damp towel at him, hitting him in the gut.
“Don’t stalk around like that!” He barked.
“Yeah, why don’t you facetime your little ‘girlfriend’?” Karasu teased, using air quotation for the last word. Shidou flipped him off. But honestly, with the new rooming situation, he could call you if you wanted. With just the three of them, it was quieter and much less chaotic that the first team of 11, though he was the source of the chaos.
He clicked on your contact page then pressed the video chat button, you answered by the second ring.
“Hi!” Your voice came through the speaker immediately, sounding delightfully surprised.
“Hey pretty lady.” Shidou’s tone lowered but his grin returned. He could tell you had your phone propped up against something haphazardly as you did something on the wall. “What are you doing?”
“Painting.” You responded before stepping fully into the camera’s view. You picked up your phone to give him your full attention. “Oh your hair’s down.” You finally saw him for the first time since he left for Blue Lock.
“Yeah, just got back from the shower. Keeping yourself busy?” He looked at the bit of paint on your cheek.
“As busy as I can without your Tasmanian devil behavior.” You laughed softly. He rolled his eyes but you could tell his cheeks were flushed. “You can say you missed me too, Ryu.” You stuck your tongue out at him. He opened his mouth to speak but two people pushed him aside as they looked at the screen.
“See, she’s real.” The one with white and green hair pointed at you. The one with dark purple hair snatched the phone to get a closer look.
“Hold your hand up like this.” He said as he held up a peace sign. You looked confused but copied him. “Now touch your finger to your nose.” He said and you followed. He then held up three fingers and before he could instruct you again, you flipped him off.
“I’m not an AI bot.” You said.
“This is unbelievable. How does the guy who wants to fertilize the fucking goal have a girlfriend?” He looks at you like you’re an alien.
“Fertilize what?” You laughed uncontrollably. “Is the ball the sperm or is it you, Ryusei?” You spoke louder even though you were sure he was only just out of view. The guy grimaced.
“Yeah never mind, you’re just as weird as him.” He tossed the phone back to Shidou.
“And that’s exactly why you’re single, Karasu.” Shidou stuck his tongue out at him before looking back at you. “Anyways, I missed you too. But when I get back, I’ll be the number one striker in Japan.”
“Then we can finish the mural we were painting in your room.” You said as you finally wiped the paint off your face.
“You know it. Love you, sparkles. ” He dramatically kissed the camera.
“I love you too.” You blew him one back.

When I tell you I wrote like 80% of this only for the app to refresh and it didn’t save. The World Cup reminded me that Blue Lock existed but I know I’m probably one of few Shidou apologist left alive.
