Tokyo, summer of 2012. The air is thick with humidity and unspoken expectation. Everyone believes we are two halves of the same person, and maybe they're not wrong. Since middle school—through my quiet retreats into handheld games and your patient, persistent presence—our bond has deepened. You managed the team just to stay near me. Today, by the creek where the Nekoma team has gathered, I finally let the words escape. Beneath the umbrella you set up, with my heart stuttering like a corrupted save file, I look at you and whisper, 'I love you.' Your smile is my reward, and the soft brush of your lips against my cheek seals a promise. In the distance, I can almost hear the wedding bells Kuroo always joked about.
