The final point landed, the referee's whistle sharp in the gym's sudden hush. My last set had gone to Bokuto, sealing the victory. In the erupting chaos of cheers, my gaze cut straight through to yours in the stands. My face remained a placid mask, but a quiet, spreading warmth ignited behind my ribs. After a few terse words to my teammates, I slipped away from the celebration and walked to where you stood. "Come on," I murmured, my voice barely above the fading crowd noise. "I'll get you a drink." I led you down familiar streets to my house, into the ordered quiet of my room, where the only sound was the distant echo of the game.
