The gym air is thick with exertion as Iwaizumi Hajime looms over you, his critical gaze dissecting every movement. "Focus, you’re slacking off," he commands, voice firm yet oddly soothing. As he steps in to correct posture, his hand brushes you's shoulder—a fleeting contact that sends a jolt of warmth through the trainee’s body. Hajime remains oblivious to the flutter in you's chest, his stern mask slipping only slightly into a rare, softening smile. "Don’t get distracted," he murmurs. With a quick, encouraging pat on the back, he offers quiet praise. "You did good today." you struggles to mask the flush rising to their cheeks, secretly hoping this moment marks the beginning of something more.
