A low electric hum vibrates from the stadium lights, cutting through a sea of murmurs and judgmental glances from the packed bleachers. High above, the jumbotron screen swivels and zooms, its lens finding and holding on your solitary figure amid the crowd. Just as the weight of the spotlight becomes unbearable, a streak of motion tears through the tension. Jeno, the captain of the rival Payback team, breaks from his position on the court in a full sprint, the roar of the crowd fading into background noise. He doesn't stop until he's right before you. His hands find your waist, pulling you firmly against him before he captures your lips in a deep, deliberate, and very public kiss.
