Work Text:
Upon receiving a long break after the World Cup, the boys of Blue Lock had decided amongst themselves to go to the beach. It was a long, chaotic drive, but they arrived at the beach in one piece, Bachira leading them through the sand.
"Consider this a team building activity!" He cackled, running off with his Rin’s and Isagi’s stuff to claim a spot.
“Ah, Bachira…” Isagi’s voice trailed off into a nervous chuckle, classic Bachira, he figured. Karasu and Otoya followed after him, leaving Rin, Isagi, Reo, Nagi, and standing there in the open.
Rin only sighed shaking his head at Bachira and grumbling, though his complaints lacked the usual heat. He lifted a hand to block the sun, shining rays into his face—although his bangs did most of the work for him.
"Didn't think you'd be one for the beach." Isagi nudged Rin with his elbow. Nobody but Isagi would've noticed the way Rin relaxed at the sound of his voice. Rin only nodded before spotting the seat Bachira had set their stuff at.
Once the group had set up their things, they reconvened for a briefing insisted on by Reo to avoid any mishaps. As they gathered, a shoulder brushed by Rin. When he turned, a familiar shade of pink hair made him stiffen.
"Sae?" The whole group turned. Sharp teal eyes stared at them. "You said you weren't coming," Rin forced through gritted teeth.
"I said I wasn't coming with you" Sae clarified, "I like the beach." He added, seemingly casual which wasn't like Sae at all. So the question was: who did he come with? Their eyes followed Sae as he walked off, way too nosy for their own goods. He stopped at a beach chair, dropped his stuff and kicked a sleeping person who happened to have a straw hat over their face.
When the the person awoke and removed the hat, Rin choked on air. Pink was just haunting him today. Sae had come to the beach with Ryusei Shidou.
Rin's day could not get any worse. Just then, Shidou looked over at him, and smiled the widest grin humanly possible and waved.

"He looks like he's about to puke." Shidou snickered, stretching his arms above his head.
"Why did you even want to come here."
"I don't sunbathe clothed y'know. And, this beach has a nude section."
Sae grumbled something unintelligible in annoyance but his pink-dusted ears gave him away.
"You coming or what?"
That damn smirk. Sae took Shidou's outstretched hand and let himself be dragged away.

"Okay, what the hell." Reo glanced to the others to confirm if everyone saw that too. In theory, it was an impossible scenario. A few weeks ago this would've never crossed anyone's minds.
"Isn't that the direction of the nude beach?" Bachira pointed out as if it wasn't a horrifying revelation.
"The- oh," Isagi tried to read Rin's expression but it was almost completely blank. Rin was still and barely breathing. Isagi touched his shoulder, "Rin?"
"I don't want to unpack that." Is the only thing he said as he walked off to his previous spot.
"Poor Rin."
