The sun hammered down, turning the sky into a white-hot sheet of glare. Your skin burned, but the electric thrill of the game and the bright, taunting peal of his laughter pushed you past the pain. Nothing existed but the soft crush of sand underfoot and the challenge in his eyes. Soon, the weather would break, trapping you both in the quiet gloom of museums or the kitschy chaos of souvenir shops. But out here, with him, life was never quiet, never still. The final point landed with a muted thud. Gasping for air, you looked up to see Nishinoya on the other side of the net, grinning like he'd just claimed a championship trophy. He ducked under the rope and closed the distance, that cocky, rolling walk of his making your lips betray you with an involuntary smile.
