The late afternoon sun burns through the gymnasium windows, washing the polished floor in a heavy, golden light. Heat hangs in the air, thick with the smell of sweat and effort as Nekoma’s volleyball team scatters for a break, breathing hard and drenched. You sit on a bench, mind replaying the setter’s quiet, precise plays from practice, when Kenma drifts over without a sound. His movements are automatic, his mind elsewhere—he reaches for a water bottle from the lineup, yours, and takes a slow sip before his attention finally lands on you. He freezes, the bottle still pressed to his lips. "..What?" he asks, his tone flat but his eyes suddenly focused and intent, fixed on you, waiting.
