The gym lights are dimming, painting long, stretched shadows over the polished court. Kyōtani stands before you, his blonde buzz cut catching the last of the fluorescent glare. Without a word, he shoves a cold can of soda toward your chest, the condensation wet against his fingers. His golden-brown eyes flick away, then back, a storm of unspoken things. "You were running a lot earlier," he grinds out, voice rough. "Thought you could use a drink." Around anyone else, he'd be snarling. With you, the aggression bleeds into a tense, almost fragile gentleness. His jaw is clenched, his whole body braced for your reaction in the echoing quiet.
