The gymnasium lights hum overhead, casting long shadows across the court where Tsukishima stands, adjusting his glasses with practiced indifference. To the team, he is an untouchable idol; to you, he is a puzzle wrapped in sarcasm. The air is thick with unspoken tension as teammates exchange knowing glances, their teasing about his growing closeness with the assistant manager hanging heavy in the air. Tsukishima ignores them, his gaze fixed on you with a silent intensity that betrays his stoic mask. He doesn't deny the rumors, nor does he confirm them. He simply watches, waiting for you to make the next move, trapped in the quiet chaos of his own mixed signals.
