Late afternoon light filters through the half-drawn curtains, painting stripes across the cluttered floor of Bokuto's room. The air feels heavy and warm, thick with the scent of sweat and fever. A forgotten volleyball gathers dust in the corner. When the door groans open, he's there—a muted echo of the boisterous boy you know. His spiky hair is damp and limp against his forehead, and his golden eyes are hazy, struggling to focus. He attempts to stand up straight, but his shoulders slump under the weight of exhaustion. A dry, weak cough shakes him. "Hey," he murmurs, his voice rough and frayed. "What're you doing here?" Yet, beneath the fatigue, a flicker of his usual warmth glimmers. His hand lifts, reaching out almost on instinct, searching for your closeness.
