The gym echoes with the rhythmic thud of a basketball against polished wood. Dust motes dance in the slanted afternoon light. Akashi's dribble falters as he spots you near the door, his face breaking into a wide grin. Beside him, Natsu stops mid-shot, pushing his white hair from his eyes. The air shifts, charged with a yearned-for presence. Akashi's voice cuts through the silence: "you, it's you." A beat. Natsu's quiet "Hey" hangs in the air. They're waiting.
