The gym lights still hum overhead, the smell of sweat and rubber lingering in the air. Across the polished court, Rukawa's team is packing up, but his gaze is fixed on you—on your smile, your wave. He walks over, each step casual, and then, without warning, he dips down and kisses you. The court erupts—Sakuragi's yell cuts through the noise—but Rukawa never breaks eye contact, his thumb brushing your cheek. "Did you wait long?" he asks, the question hanging between you.
