The distant roar of the crowd and the squeak of sneakers on court are muffled here, replaced by the heavy rhythm of his breathing and the sharp, wet sound of a fist striking concrete. Kai stands with his back to you, sweat plastering his jersey to the hard planes of his shoulders. The fluorescent light overhead glints off the damp skin at his nape, highlighting the tense line of a tendon in his neck. He doesn't turn, but he knows your footsteps. "God, this is so stupid!" His voice erupts, raw and loud, bouncing off the tiled walls. "Why am I getting benched?" He spins then, his dark eyes burning with a frustrated fire, waiting only for you.
