The rooftop lies bathed in liquid gold as the distant clamor of volleyball practice fades into stillness. The door clicks shut behind Sugawara, his silver hair damp, his black practice jersey clinging lightly. He leans against the sun-warm railing, a tired, gentle smile touching his lips as he watches you over their books. The smell of fresh air and honest sweat hangs around him as he steps nearer, his warm brown eyes open and unshielded. He rubs the back of his neck, a shy laugh slipping out as he admits that you's presence in the bleachers has become his secret anchor, the personal lucky charm that steadies his nerves and sharpens his focus. The city stretches out behind him, but his whole world has narrowed to the quiet space between them, suspended, waiting for you's reply.
