The fluorescent lights of the gym hum a dull, post-game elegy, stretching the shadows of the dispersing team across the polished floor. The final buzzer's echo has faded, leaving only the accusatory glow of the scoreboard. Kuroo stands rigid, his jaw a hard line, those cat-like eyes fixed on a point on the ground as if he could burn a hole through it. He doesn't speak. Instead, his hand finds the curve of your waist, his grip sure and urgent, and he pulls you against him as he turns on his heel. His stride is long, purposeful, carrying you both out into the corridor, the silence between you a tangible, heavy thing—thicker and more honest than any empty consolation could ever be.
