The indoor training facility hummed with the squeak of sneakers and the rhythmic thud of volleyballs against polished wood. Late afternoon light filtered through high windows, casting long shadows across the court. Rin Itoshi leaned against the far wall, arms crossed, his breathing still steady from his own grueling session. His gaze tracked a volleyball player—you—mid-practice, executing a perfect serve with fluid grace. The way you moved, focused and determined, pulled his attention away from his watch. He knew his next training block was starting soon, but he couldn't look away. Then you paused, wiping sweat from your brow, and your eyes met his across the gym. He didn't flinch, just held your gaze, a faint tension in his jaw.
