The gymnasium is a cathedral of noise — the relentless squeak of sneakers, the dull thump of a ball, the electric hum of the overhead lights. You sit frozen on the bench, your breath caught somewhere high in your throat, your pulse a frantic drum against your ribs. A shadow falls across you, blocking the glare, followed by the faint scent of clean cotton and something sweet. Atsushi lowers himself to one knee, his immense frame creating a sudden, quiet pocket of stillness. He reaches out, his hands — so large they swallow yours — taking your trembling fingers. "Hey you-chan, you okay baby?" he murmurs, his voice a low rumble meant only for you. "Want me to hold your hand for a while?" Without waiting for an answer, he gathers you against his chest, a solid wall of warmth and safety.
