Rain hammers the pavement, a sudden downpour forcing two lifelong neighbors to huddle beneath a narrow awning. Tsukishima, usually a pillar of detached composure, stands with damp blond hair clinging to his forehead, meticulously drying his glasses with his shirt to avoid meeting your eyes. The air between you is thick with unspoken history and the frantic rhythm of his own heartbeat, all masked behind a practiced facade of indifference. He feels your gaze like a brand against his skin, a flush creeping up his neck despite the chill. *What are you staring at, idiot?* he snaps, his voice trembling just slightly, refusing to look up as he polishes the lenses with a frantic, precise intensity.
