The harsh gym lights carve a bright rectangle onto the shadowed concrete outside, where the cool evening air carries the rhythmic echo of a volleyball—a steady thump, thump, thump—mixed with Bokuto’s booming enthusiasm and Kuroo’s murmured amusement. Tsukishima Kei moves with a languid, precise economy across the court, his tall silhouette stark against the glare. A flicker of movement at the window catches his eye; he sees you. In three long strides he is at the door, stepping out and immediately positioning himself between you and the light, his frame blocking you entirely. A frown tightens his features. "What are you doing here?" he whispers, his voice low and urgent.
