Chapter Text
5th grade, outside on the field, a fight broke out. In one hand, a red haired boy held a nintendo switch, and tried to defend it with his one remaining spare hand, as an orange hair kid was constantly tackling him to pin him down.
Apparently, Kunigami(orange hair kid) was in the middle of a Super Smash Bros Ultimate match, until Chigiri(red hair kid) had snatched it right from his hand. Right next to the two boys fighting was a white hair kid, Nagi, the actual owner of the switch. Nagi was whining about his nintendo, desperately trying to get it back.
“GAME!” A noise suddenly came from the switch, a noise meaning the match had ended.
“CHIGIRI YOU BASTARD, I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT MATCH AND NOW YOU MADE ME LOSE, GIVE IT BACK.”
“IN YOUR DREAMS, MAYBE IF YOU CAN CATCH ME SLOWPOKE!”
Right after, Chigiri had bolted for the soccer field, with Kunigami not too far behind, though distance started to grow the more they ran. Even from across the field, you could hear the occasional “GET BACK HERE PUSSY AND FIGHT ME” or “STOP RUNNING YOU PRINCESS BASTARD,” and if you listened closely enough, you could hear the faint complaints of the short-of-breath Nagi trying to chase them.
“FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!” A loud guy chanted, “This is very entertaining.”
“SHUT UP BACHIRA, AND HELP ME GET IT BACK.” Kunigami screamed, still chasing Chirigi around the field.
Suddenly, there’s a loud “PLOP”, and right there, Chigiri is face first in the field. After finally being able to catch up, Kunigami keeps Chigiri down and raises his fist up.
“I was so close to winning, I’m going to..” Kunigami went on and on about how he would absolutely demolish Chigiri. As Kunigami kept threatening Chigiri, Nagi’s first priority was to get the switch, praying that it didn’t break during the fall. He could not live without his baby, his nintendo, the thing he saved up 7months worth of allowance to buy.
“You weren’t going to win anyway, stop being delusional. You’re ass at everything you do too.”
“Oh you want to bet? Play me in football, now.”
“What’s the point in playing against someone who can’t even do something as measly as catching up to me?”
Chigiri definitely made a mistake, Kunigami started raising his fist again.
“YOU IDIOT!”
Right as he was about to hit a blow to the princess’s face, a voice goes “Don’t hit him!”
A black hair stood next to them, pouting, clearly looking a bit angry.
“It’s not good to hit people! My mom said they could get really hurt. You guys should calm down, I even have extra chocolates that my mom packed me if you guys want to eat them with me.”
Everyone stopped and looked at the kid. They all has the same thought… “was this.. an angel?”
That day, all of them had then sworn to protect Isagi from anything and anyone that would be a threat to their pure, cute, angel Isagi. Oh, and also the day the 5 would begin to hang out everyday.
It was now sophomore year high school. And yes, the angel Isagi was still as pure as ever… and as popular is ever. Now, “Angel Isagi” wasn’t just Chigiri’s, Nagi’s, Bachira’s, or Kunigami’s nickname, but rather most people in the school called him that. The boys hated it, but there wasn’t much they could do to prevent it, well besides violence. On saturdays, the 4 boys (obviously not Isagi) would meet up, discuss about any “Isagi Activity”. This consists of all the 4 boys talking about everyone who had interacted with Isagi, and at the end, they would have a vote regarding whether they approved of the interaction or not. And you bet, the next day, you will have one of these boys at the front of your doorstep if majority voted “not approved”.
This method of violence had mostly worked, and had way more people avoiding/being more cautious around Isagi. A big win for them. Except it had also earned them the name, “Isagi’s Simps”.
“Oh wow, a lot of people must be getting sick now, not many people are showing up for class.” Isagi said, very unaware of the actual reason.
Of course they couldn’t tell him the real reason, since Isagi would be begging them to stop, and plus they didn’t want him to feel guilty about it as well.
“Alright class, we have a new student. Would you like to introduce yourself?”
“Yeah. I’m Rin Itoshi. I play football, better than all of you here.”
“Is that all?”
“Yeah.”
Rin was very good looking, so dreamy, he could probably even be a model, and he played football too??? Isagi couldn’t stop staring the man down. It was obvious, maybe a bit too obvious. His group of friends all had the same thought, ‘Are you serious, HIM?’
Rin stood a bit longer, then looked at Isagi and smiled. Isagi looked down to his right and started fiddling with his fingers, he became almost as red as a tomato. Rin then walked to the open desk right in front of Isagi, still smiling.
‘This Bastard.. I’m going to kill this cocky fucker.” And all 4 of them started looking at each other, signaling that they HAD to meet during lunch.
“..AND THRASH HIS SKULL INTO MY KNEE AND PUNCH HIM SO HARD THA-“
Chigiri stopping Kunigami midway through his rant, responds with “well, maybe don’t do all of that or else you’ll get expelled.”
“I mean why don’t we just challenge him to a football 1v1.” Bachira suggests, “I mean he said he was ‘better than everyone’”.
“I will. And I’ll destroy the bastard.”
“Yea alright good luck, I heard he’s Sae Itoshi’s little brother.” Nagi replies, while playing some.. pokemon game on his phone? “Seems like too much of a hassle, just beat him up honestly.”
“Hell no, that makes it even better, I’ll crush his ego, even make him quit football.” Kunigami says.
“Well, if Kunigami is in it, so am I.”
“Yeah! Me too! You never know, maybe he has a monster too.”
“Well suit yourselves, I’m going to keep playing.”
And off the 3 went, off to go find a certain, charming black hair man.
Isagi spent half of his break looking at tall, charming, black hair man play football. “GOAL!!” one of his classmates cheered, after Rin has just scored from a corner kick. Isagi has never seen anything like that before, how could he be so perfect? Rin then lifted his shirt up a bit to wipe off his sweat. Isagi was staring very hard, and fanboying with thoughts like ‘oh god oh god, he has abs too??’ It seemed like Rin had noticed the pair of eyes on him, and looked at Isagi on the bleachers.
“Why don’t you come join us, Isagi?”
His voice was so nice, it had been a while since Isagi crushed on anyone this hard, let alone someone who just came to his school TODAY. But how could he help it? He started getting up saying, “Oh, yeah sur-“
Until he was cut off by a certain somebody… or a few certain somebodies.
“1v1 me, in football, right now you cocky bastard.” Declared Kunigami, pointing his finger straight at Rin.
“YEAHH!! WOOO GO KUNIGAMI!” Cheered Bachira in the background, he jumped up and down while waving his hands.
Rin studied him up and down.
“You’re not worth my time.”
“Look at this, the brother of the famous Sae Itoshi trying to pussy his way out. Looks like you weren’t as good as everyone said you were, what a disappointment to your brother.”
The whole field went silent.
“So, you said right now?”
“Yeah, Sae Itoshi’s brother. Right now.”
“Alright I’ll do it.”
“You better watch this, Isagi!” Kunigami yelled.
Kunigami let Rin start with the ball. He waited for Rin to make the first move, right as he see’s Rin start to shift, he goes to intercept the ball.. well except… where did he go? Well shit, the fucker got right passed him, all in the blink of and eye. As Kunigami desperately tried to run and catch up, it was already too late.
“GOALLLLLLLL!!!” Yelled a classmate.
“..I let you get that goal, this time I’ll start with the ball.”
Not soon after, there was another goal, and you guessed it.. it was Rin’s.
“Play me again!”
…
“GOALL FOR RIN ITOSHI!”
“ONE. MORE. TIME!”
…
“A FOURTH GOAL FOR RIN! 4-0!!!”
This went on until finally, Kunigami gave up with a final score of 9-0.
Rin scoffed. “All that talk for nothing huh?”
Kunigami couldn’t even look up, he got destroyed. Fuck, all he wanted to do was get this cocky bastard away from Isagi.
“UGH!! Isagi, how could you like this asshole!” Kunigami yelled, he was so loud you could probably hear him from two blocks down. But most importantly.. RIN could hear him.
Isagi stood up, clearly very embarrassed. He burned red from head to toe, his eyes even looking a bit watery.
“You idiot!! I don’t!” And the smaller black hair boy then stormed off inside… and that’s when Kunigami realized he fucked up.
It wasn’t long after school had ended, that the groupchat had a new message.
[ Isagi Protection Squad ]
Chigiri:
Kunigami got his ass beat so hard LOL
Nagi:
I told you it wasn’t worth doing. You should’ve just beat him up.
Bachira:
I GOT IT ALL ON CAMERA LMAOOOO
Bachira sent a video.
Kunigami:
How about one of you guys try it instead of laughing at me. I bet you guys will get your ass kicked harder than me.
Chigiri:
dude… it’s not possible to do worse than a 0-9 score
Kunigami:
stfu.
Nagi:
You suck Kunigami
Chigiri:
In all seriousness, we need to find a way to stop this Rin guy from getting Isagi.
Bachria:
I agreeeeeee
Nagi:
Just put him in the hospital
Chigiri:
I already said no, we don’t want to get expelled right?
Nagi:
more gaming time for me
Chigiri:
You idiot, then you’ll barely be able to hang out with Isagi
Kunigami:
I’m going to embarrass Rin, just like how he did to me. I’ll make him look so bad in front of Isagi so Isagi will never talk to him again.
Bachira:
Ooooo it’s settled then! We will call it Operation Rin-Isagi!! :DD
Nagi:
That sounds more like you’re trying to get them together.
Bachira:
Do you have a better idea?
Nagi:
No.
Bachira:
Exactly :)
Chigiri:
Sounds good to me
Kunigami:
Yeah
Bachira has changed the group chat name to ‘Operation Rin Isagi’
