Roman and Luciano stared wide eyed at each other.
The coach watched their reaction carefully like a hawk.
Roman was not expected to be named captain.
He might have been happy if not that he was named together with Luciano.
Luciano on the other hand was not expecting the coach to name him captain together with Roman.
What the hell is a co-captain?
Is that to placate Roman or one of the crazy ploys set up by his father to mess him up.
“These are the two best talents in our team right now. We trust them to lead our team from now on to a glorious run and for the championships to be finally ours.”
“Can Luciano and Roman step forward please and receive their new position please.” The coach said.
Both of them reluctantly stepped forward.
Luciano looked at Roman directly in the eyes for the first time that day.
His emerald green eyes shimmering in the light of the afternoon.
The Coach brought out the Captain’s badge.
Two black rectangle leather sash with the crest of Vesperridge wolves stamped at the centre.
They are to tie it at their right arms during every game.
They are the only ones in their team that gets to wear this special badge.
The Coach entrusted it into their hands like a sacred seal.
Another round of applause erupted from the team, every one of them felt genuinely happy except for Joshua who Seems to have a critical look on his face.
Roman held the banner in his hands.
The feeling of the thick leather sash in his hands still feel surreal.
When he arrived in Vesperridge Academy a week ago.
He wants expecting to be given the position of the most important person in his team.
Much less doing it together with the boy that captured his heart on the very first day.
Most of the teammates mostly swarmed around congratulating Luciano.
Only Joshua and two other boys named Collins and Mark came around to congratulate him, not that he cares anyway.
When the boys were done with congratulating him.
Coach Ferdinand siphoned them away from the boys.
He dragged them out of the earshot of others.
He stood in between them and hung his arm around their shoulders.
“This is a great opportunity for the two of you to make up and cooperate. The two top talents of the team should not be on each other’s neck like this.”
He pulled the two of them closer.
“I want the both of you to work together, for this team, I want you to come together and draft a grand plan for how the team will win this tournament.”.
After Coach Ferdinand was done talking, Roman excused himself and left, Luciano’s eyes followed him and narrowed at his limping legs.
When he was finally out of eyesight, he turned to glare at the Coach.
“What are you up to now?”
“Ensuring the team is winning of course.” Ferdinand said putting on a solemn face.
“I know my dad puts you up with this. What are you two planning? Coach, you are a grown man, you should learn to say no sometimes.”
“Let’s talk about Roman’s leg.” Coach Ferdinand said ignoring the obvious jab thrown at him by his student.
Luciano scoffed.
“Why don’t you ask him yourself.”
“I asked him but he doesn’t seem to be telling me the truth. So what happened.”
Luciano hung his head arrogantly.
“Let’s say he got what he deserved.”
Then he walked away leaving his Coach standing awkwardly.
When Luciano entered the restroom.
Roman was leaning on the wall looking into space.
Luciano’s eye trailed at his perfectly chiseled jawline currently set, then his exposed leg.
Then he tore his eyes away and went to the sink to take a wash.
He first of all washed his hands profusely before dipping his head under the running water, his curly Blonde hair turning silky.
After washing he raised his head up, his eyes still watching Roman through the mirror.
“Do you want to talk to me?”
Roman turned to look at him.
“What made you think so?” He asked Luciano
Luciano picked up his towel to wipe himself with it.
“You are standing here, waiting for me, looking at me as if I owe you something.”
Roman snapped angrily.
“Why would I wait for you? It seems that you are the one stalking me. You are the one literally following me around because why are you in my class?”
“I can enter anywhere I want in this school my family literally owns half of it. I don’t know about you.”
“Then leave me the hell alone, I don’t want to talk to you.’
“Well, it’s not like I am the one with a broken leg.”
Roman shot him a hot gaze, rage dancing around the edge of his eyes.
“You don’t get to talk to me that way now. I am now a captain just like you.”
“A captain that cannot run around the ice for five minutes without suffering a fracture.”
Roman shot his body up from the wall, he took to step towards Luciano a bitter smile playing on his face.
“You are still bitter that I won you and you lost. You still want some of that victory kisses?”
Immediately he talked about the kiss.
The image of Roman’s warm lips on his own nibbling and sucking him, while his back is on the ice, heat rose to his face.
He turned back the faucet on dipping his head in once again as if the cold water would wash away the heat.
Roman moved closer to him.
Watching him with a mixture of a mocking and an amused expression.
“Turns out that you are affected, I can see the heat sliding off your cheeks. You can never wash it away, try as much as you can.”
“Roman I know you are a filthy peasant boy, but at least you should have some decorum and not discuss such things in the open. You are now a Captain.”
Roman laughter rang out in the air.
“Are you scared you will be exposed? What is wrong with a captain having some fun?”
Luciano smirked.
“I have some reputation to uphold, I can’t be caught kissing pigs.”
The smile froze in Roman’s face, his jaw set taut.
Luciano went back to washing his face as if he didn’t know what he had done.
But in a second Roman was behind him.
His hands clenched his waist, his other hands jerked his face with such force that water splattered the mirror.
Roman breathed deeply making sure to fan hot breath on his ears.
Luciano felt his blood froze.
His hairs stand erect
He is doing this again to me.
Roman made sure he pressed his body firmly and deeply against his back, leaving no space in between them.
His hands held Luciano’s own down on top of the sink.
“A pig, did you just say a pig, Luciano?”
He was looking at their reflection in the mirror.
Luciano’s face looks flushed, he looks like he needs some air but Roman is not going to allow him get any.
“You begged this Pig for a kiss, you even complained that the kiss was not enough. You wanted more.”
Roman leaned his face closer.
His lips brushed against Luciano’s neck.
“Why don’t you come off your high horse and admit that you want me as much as I do.”
Luciano was tongue tied.
He tried to wiggle his way out of Roman’s grasp but he inadvertently brushed his backside against Roman’s groin.
The heat he felt from there made him flinch and gasp.
Roman was pleased with his reaction.
He breathed into his ear.
“Did you feel it? The extent of my desire for you.”
Roman stuck out his tongue and licked the back of Luciano’s ear lobe.
“Roman! You cunt!” Luciano cried.
Roman gave a wicked grin
“I love it.”
Just then the door shuttered open and Luciano managed to pry himself from Roman’s grip.
Joshua entered inside and regarded both of them briefly.
If he was surprised or saw something, he did not show it.
He made straight for the toilet and locked the door behind him.
