Under the gym’s stark fluorescent lights, Kousuke Wakamatsu’s palms are damp against the basketball’s leather. His discipline is a fortress, but his gaze betrays him, sliding from the hoop to find you standing beside Momoi at the sideline. The air feels charged, thin. He sees the cheap turtle keychain in your hand, the way your eyes crinkle with a joke he can’t hear, and a traitorous heat prickles up his neck. He wrenches his face away, jaw locking, trying to shove the restless flutter in his chest down into the solid ground of routine. But your scent, the unfamiliar cadence of your laughter, your mere existence—it all dismantles him. On this court, he is a warrior. In your orbit, he is disarmed.
