The match against Akaguia had already started, and Jake would join later. Akaguia and Rapoxia were former rivals and that was clear in the tied score. Of course Milles was an annoying opponent when he was in the blockade, but Matheus also gave him a nerve making the battle between captains even more intense.
And of course they teased each other on the court.
— Cry loud, Matheuzinho!
— Fuck you! — Matheus growled turning to the rest of his team — Let's crash that little smirk!
The team was already in flames by the provocations, and on top of that with the request of their captain, the court was in hell itself. Akaghia players were agile and had strong sacks. Guilherme had a great difficulty in receiving the looting, which was so strong that his arms were red.
But Rapoxia didn't stay behind. And Matheus showed Akaguia how annoying he could be in predicting the fints. It was no use trying to fool that alpha, because he seemed to be two steps ahead.
The tied score was dragging creating a long set. It would be a matter of time until one of the teams started to get tired and gave up the first set. In the case, Rapoxia gave way when Guilherme began to get tired and slower.
— Relax, Gui. We recover — Matheus smiles diabolically.
The boys from Rapoxia exchanged glances, but Matheus faced a certain alpha who was in reserve bank.
Jake sighed low and stood up.
— My turn?
— Your turn, white fox.
Jake laughed when he remembered the nickname he got when he joined the team two years ago. When he still platinum hair and had energy to spend on games. Thanks to his tricks in the court, Jake had become captain at the time and gave the name to the team of Rapoxia. And if anyone comments that the name came in the middle of a barbecue when Jake spoke "raposa" while eating, which culminated in him talking wrong... Jake would vehemently deny.
Taking off the jacket he wore and showing the Rapoxia's uniform, Jake warmed up as he looked at the bleachers and saw Nathaniel next to Fernanda and Carolina. They seemed to be eating something, and Jake felt a bit of envy that his friends might be on the joker's side.
Waving at them, Jake earned the day when Nathaniel waved back discreetly.
So cute.
After a break, and the players drink water and rest, the players returned to the court. Jake stood in his position and smiled at Milles waving to him.
— Oh what is it!!! — Milles complained, looking at Matheus — I thought it was just a bluff.
— Cries more, that's too little.
— Haha, it's always so fun to see you two getting along — Jake chuckled, despite getting two pairs of slightly angry eyes.
Some players of the Akaguia did not seem to understand whether the coming of Jake was good or not, and even if they asked his captain, he would not answer since he was trying to think of some last minute strategy. Even Adrian, the rookie from Akaguia who tried to get into Rapoxia, seemed annoyed with the alpha.
The whistle sounded and the ball went into the air. The pace of the rally was calm, which was good for both teams. Jake had the feeling that both teams were evaluating each other, after all his coaches could have come up with some last-minute strategy to ensure victory.
When the ball hit the Akaguia block, Guilherme was quick to save the ball from falling to the ground and keep it in the air. Quickly the lifter passed the ball to the point where there would be no one to receive. That is, if Jake had not run as fast as he could and hit the ball across the court.
The first point of the set was guaranteed.
— Wow, how good it is to be back!! — Smile Jake.
He got a growl coming from across the court, but that didn't matter. Jake just turned to the bleachers and opened a victorious smile at his omega, feeling with the bite that he was proud of himself.
During the game, if there was anyone who questioned why Jake was feared by Milles, well... Now no doubt remained.
Jake was indeed a pain in the ass.
With his height and strength, he blocked attacks well when in front of the net. When he received the third touch of the ball, his strength was enormous and treacherous. At the last minute Jake decided the path of the ball, moving his hand or fingers slightly. The Akaguia blockers got angry when they thought they had hit the position by facing Jake, but in the end he always took advantage of a small gap and threw the ball.
And even worse when he was in the sack.
It seemed an eternity!!! He did not leave the sack!
Akaguia was getting frustrated with Rapoxia keeping the lead on the board. And even if they tried to draw, they managed a way out in front.
— Come on, Jake!! You're my brother! — Milles complained.
Jake was laughing as he wiped his face on his shirt, which, by the way, was a very tempting sight for anyone watching the game.
— I will not take it easy just because you are my blood. I want to receive compliments later.
Milles made a grimace.
About to serve, Jake held the ball and took a deep breath. He focused on watching each other's position on both sides of the court. Holding the ball in front of him, the sweat ran down his forehead even though he was still. It looked like a statue.
With the judge whistling, Jake ran and threw the ball up high and jumped hitting the ball hard. The ball fell on the other side so quickly that the librarian did not even see the ball pass his side.
One more point.
The faces of surprise and unbelief made Matheus fill his chest and nose.
— Hahaha! This is our white fox!
Jake's cycle in the sack seemed to have no end, and only when Milles managed to get the ball is that Akaguia had his chance to get out of that hell.
Which obviously did not last long, because a captain with the ego kissing the skies ensured that the ball touched the ground. Matheus made another point, which angered Milles even more.
The second set ended with the victory of Rapoxia, leaving the two teams tied and needing a third set to decide the victory.
As if the two teams were on fire, the third set was close. Coach Santiago did not take Jake off the court, which angered Akaguia even more.
Again came into play that contest of one make points after the other and keep the score tied. There was a moment when Milles scored two points in front, which angered Matheus even more.
— But what hell!
— Calm down, captain — Guilherme tried to calm Matheus, giving pats on his shoulder — Getting angry will not help us win.
— You can say goodbye to the championship — Milles was provoking on the other side of the court — It's okay, I know you were just worried about me. But I can be a present parent and still play.
Jake opened a wide smile as he crossed his arms.
— Win first and then brag, brother.
Although Rapoxia made a tremendous effort to close the gap in the score, Akaguia seemed to have recovered morale by not letting that happen. The Rapoxia seemed to be pilloried by the provocations, but Jake was the only one who kept a victorious smile on his face.
Matheus got excited and turned to the other boys on his team.
— Alright, let's do just like Jake, make a face as if will be easy to turn the game!
— But it will be easy — Jake smiled happily — Just you make a point and throw me for the sack.
Matheus wanted to strangle Jake for daring to smile at such a moment.
To the luck of Jake's neck, Ricardo got the point he needed and Jake went for the sack.
And just from the alpha being in the sack and holding the ball, Akaguia sighed in unison.
— Oh, no.
Jake smiled so innocently while holding the ball, that it was the most annoying provocation.
— Oh, yes.
Despair has come true.
Jake in the serve, strong and fast balls, and Akaguia lost his lead to win a draw.
When the ball was blocked, Matheus desperately to save the ball and Guilherme jumped on the court to make the lift. He threw the ball back and Jake came out making the clean cut that brought the team victory.
The whistle sounded and the crowd screamed for the intense match they watched.
Rapoxia had won!
Jake was hugged by his teammates, his hair was all messed up as well as his uniform, but in the end the alpha raised his eyes to the bleachers and stretched out his arms smiling so grandiously that it came to shine.
And his heart was racing as he felt that his omega was happy for him.
The court was filled by fans, several people were greeting the two teams that made the game more electrifying and fun to be watched. Among the crowd, Jake saw that masked guy and looked at him from afar.
Jake widened his smile and moved his lips saying something. Even if Nathaniel didn't listen, he would understand what Jake said.
Then, quickly the omega ran out among the crowd and jumped into the arms of his alpha. With his legs wrapped around his waist and arms around his neck, Nathaniel lowered the mask and smiled.
— I love you too.
Jake burst out laughing and blushed before kissing his omega in front of everyone. It didn't matter if someone would look at them or not. That alpha was holding his omega and kissing him.
