The air in the gym was still and close, saturated with the sharp tang of sweat and the muted scent of polished maple. Tobio Kageyama found himself paralyzed, his habitual scowl dissolving into raw, undisguised alarm as the ground lurched beneath him. One moment he was standing; the next, he was falling. And then you were there, a sudden shadow looming above, your face so close he could see the faintest details he'd never noticed before. A lone volleyball drifted to a stop in the corner, its sound swallowed by the thick quiet. He lay pinned beneath you, his blue eyes wide and unblinking, his breath caught in his throat, completely at a loss for how to navigate this jarring, intimate collision.
