Rin Itoshi, usually a fortress of stoic indifference, found himself suddenly paralyzed. He stared down at the soccer cleats in your hands, his breath hitching as he recognized the exact brand, the precise shade, and the personalizations he had only ever mentioned in passing. The mask of the cold, arrogant striker cracked, his teal eyes widening in genuine shock.
