6'2, male, has dark green hair with a bang going across his face more in his right eye, but he always brushes it out of his face, slim teal eyes, and distinct eyelashes that he shares with his brother Sae Itoshi, long eyelashes, pale skin, toned (eight pack and a v-line, not bulky) . As a young boy, Rin looks largely the same, his facial features just become more distinct as he gets older, cold, kind of mean, very quiet, can be nice if he wants, pale pink thin lips Plays forward for the high school team (very good, promising future) Kick Accuracy: He can hit pinpoint targets consistently, allowing him to score direct goals straight from corner kicks or the center line.Curve Shot: Slices underneath the ball to create devastating, bending trajectories that evade keepers.Trivela: A highly advanced technique where he strikes the ball with the outside of his foot, forcing it to spin and curve inward contrary to the defender's positioning.Fake Shots: He convincingly feints a powerful shot by shifting his body weight, drawing the defender out before pulling the ball back or cutting to the side.Tactician & "Puppet-Control" Soccer Rin initially models his game as an oppressive playmaker, utilizing an elite mental framework.Spatial Awareness: Like Isagi, Rin possesses a master-level understanding of the field, reading the positions of all 22 players seamlessly.Puppet-Control: He uses his spatial intelligence to manipulate both his teammates and his opponents. By anticipating how a defender will react, he forces them to move exactly where he wants, essentially "controlling" the field to create his own perfect shooting lane.Advanced Dribbling & Physical MasteryWhile not purely a speed or trick-based winger, Rin uses physical dominance and high-level technique to push past defenders. Elastico / Snake Elastico: A lightning-fast move where he pushes the ball outward to bait a defender, then rapidly snaps it back inward to blow past them.Rainbow Flick: An elusive flair skill used to pop the ball over an aggressive defender's head.Center of Gravity Control: He uses hand blocks, tight shielding, and body positioning to absorb contact from physical defenders without losing his balance.The Flow State: "Destroyer Mode"When Rin enters his deepest state of immersion (the Flow state), he abandons his logical puppet-controlling style for his true, egoistic nature: Destroyer Mode.Instead of using players efficiently, he actively analyzes the opponent's greatest weapon or ultimate strength.He then engages them in 1v1 duels, using hyper-irrational, aggressive physical maneuvers to completely counter and psychologically "destroy" them at their own game. Rin doesn't flex a lot in high school games, so he may play normally and use small skills unless there are scouts.
The gym buzzed with hundreds of conversations while teachers tried—and failed—to get everyone to settle down.
Bachira honestly had no idea why they were here.
Assembly? Guest speaker? Fire safety?
He'd forgotten five minutes after hearing about it.
"So then I told him, 'No way that's gonna work,'" one of the boys beside him laughed.
Bachira snorted. "That's actually kinda genius."
The two guys exchanged a glance.
"...Hey," one of them said. "We should move."
"Hm?" Bachira blinked. "Okay."
Before he could even stand on his own, two pairs of hands grabbed him under the arms.
"H-Hey?"
He barely had time to protest before they carried him a few rows back.
"...Guys?"
One of them grinned.
"Here, Rin."
Bachira tilted his head.
"You forgot this."
"...Huh—"
Without another warning, they dropped him directly onto someone's lap.
"Oof!"
Strong arms instinctively caught him before he slid off.
The two idiots were already walking away, laughing.
"See ya!"
"Treat him nicely!"
Bachira's face immediately warmed.
...
...I'm sitting on Rin.
His boyfriend.
His boyfriend of...
Four days.
"..."
"..."
The silence somehow felt louder than the entire gym.
Bachira awkwardly shifted.
"S-Sorry..."
He planted a hand on Rin's knee, about to stand.
Then—
An arm wrapped more securely around his waist.
"...Eh?"
He tried again.
The hold only tightened.
Not painfully.
Just enough that he wasn't going anywhere.
Bachira froze.
...
...Wait.
Wait wait wait wait—
Rin's... hugging me?
Internally, every alarm in his brain started blaring.
WHAT DO I DO?!
He stared straight ahead, afraid to even breathe wrong.
Rin, meanwhile, looked completely unfazed.
His friends paused their conversation.
"...Bro."
One of them looked between the two.
"You actually kept him."
Rin didn't even look over.
"...Yeah."
Another friend smirked.
"Didn't think you'd be the clingy type."
"I'm not."
"..."
"...You're literally holding him hostage."
"He was gonna fall."
"He was standing up."
"He would've fallen eventually."
"..."
"...That's the worst excuse I've ever heard."
Bachira was still buffering.
Hostage...?
Am I... being kidnapped?
Can your own boyfriend kidnap you?
His thoughts spiraled until he finally squeaked,
"R-Rin?"
A quiet hum came from behind him.
"...Mm?"
"C-Can I... um..."
He gestured vaguely toward the empty seat beside Rin.
"...Sit there?"
Rin looked down at him for a second.
"...No."
"..."
"...No?"
"You can stay."
Bachira's brain blue-screened.
The assembly hadn't even started, and somehow he'd gone from chatting with classmates to being firmly settled in his stoic boyfriend's lap while the entire soccer team tried—and failed—not to laugh.
