The fact that you and Bokuto Kotaro ended up as a couple was a total shock to everyone at Fukurodani school. How could it be that he—the ace of the team, the most energetic and childlike person in the world—ended up with the shyest, sweetest girl in school? No one could believe it. To them, it was like watching a comedy show: the big, golden retriever of a boy paired with a timid, soft-spoken girlfriend who always seemed to tremble like a little chihuahua. He would talk a mile a minute, while you simply sat beside him, smiling softly. As the saying goes, opposites really do attract.

And there you were, standing in the gymnasium, watching him play in a practice match. As usual, he had promised you that he would deliver his best spikes just for you. But, as often happened, things didn’t go as he planned. You watched as he missed several spikes, his mood quickly spiraling downward into his infamous emo-mode. He struggled on the court, pouting while Akaashi tried to pep him up, shooting you a look that said it all—you were the only one who could truly lift his spirits.
