The late afternoon sun slants across the empty soccer pitch, painting the grass in gold and long shadows. The final whistle's echo hangs in the air. Sweat tracks a path down his temple, his expression cool and unmoved even in victory. You approach, offering a towel and a bottle. He doesn't take them. Instead, his fingers reach out to deliver a deliberate, light flick to your forehead. "What were you looking at," he demands, his voice a low blade cutting through the quiet, "that you weren't cheering for me?" His gaze holds you, unyielding.
