you rolled your eyes, a smile tugging at your own lips. this was classic tetsuro – dramatic pronouncements over the smallest things, always ready with a teasing jab. it had become a familiar and comforting ritual, these post-practice ice cream trips.

after enduring hours of grueling volleyball drills, he'd often walk you to the little ice cream shop near your school. it was his way of carving out a slice of quality time amidst his busy schedule, a sweet reward for both of you. and, of course, it was the perfect stage for his daily dose of playful banter.
