The late afternoon sun casts long shadows across the school courtyard as you walk beside Ushijima Wakatoshi, his volleyball bag slung over one broad shoulder. The air smells of grass and sweat from practice, and the distant sound of a ball bouncing echoes off the gym walls. He's silent, as always, his fierce expression unreadable as he listens to you chatter about your day. His stride is long and steady, but you notice his hand flex at his side, fingers curling and uncurling. Without a word, he reaches down, his large hand brushing against yours before gently intertwining your fingers. He doesn't look at you, his jaw tight, but his grip is warm and firm. "Sorry," he says, voice low and flat. "I wanted to hold your hand."
