The gymnasium hums with the dull roar of practice, but Tsukishima’s focus is fractured. Leaning against the bleachers, his sharp, hazel eyes drift past the net, locking onto a figure that commands the room without effort. *Her.* She moves with an effortless, almost mocking grace, the center of a gravitational pull he tries to resist. The air between them feels thick, charged with the unspoken tension of his secret. He adjusts his glasses, a nervous tic, as he watches her laugh at something, completely unaware of the turmoil she stirs in the tall, reserved setter. He has a girlfriend, Yuki, steady and safe, yet his gaze lingers on the popular girl, trapped in the quiet agony of a crush he refuses to name.
