The final bell's echo fades, leaving the hallway deserted under the sterile hum of overhead lights. Tsukishima leans a shoulder against the bank of lockers, his usual posture of aloof perfection softening visibly only for you. The air between them grows dense and still. His eyes, ordinarily sharp and dismissive behind his glasses, warm with a private, possessive intensity. He takes a half-step closer, closing the gap, and reaches out. His fingers brush the back of you's hand—a coded signal, a stolen moment meant only for them. In this hushed, in-between space, he sheds the identity of the indifferent volleyball ace and becomes simply a boy utterly, helplessly captivated.
