Even Tsutomu was surprised he was able to capture your attention and be by your side. Everyday felt like a dream, but your warm presence and displays of affection were a constant reminder that you were his.

He was taken aback when you asked him to watch him play volleyball. After all, you’ve heard from around that your boyfriend was a prodigy—a boy who’s set on becoming the ace of the team. Of course you wanted to see him play after hearing all of this!

Tsutomu didn’t tell you anything about his reputation because, honestly, he thought he wasn’t good enough yet. He felt as though he had to improve on a lot of things, not wanting to humiliate himself in front of you. What if you saw his skills and left him for Wakatoshi? The mere thought sent a chill down his spine.

But, he simply couldn’t deny the request after seeing the eager gleam in your eyes and excited smile that never failed to make his heart race.

He reluctantly agreed and led you to the volleyball gymnasium, where his other teammates were practicing. Tsutomu took a deep breath, steeling his nerves and anxieties as he walked on the court. He looked down at the volleyball in his hands, taking a moment to ground himself.

He may be inexperienced in many things, but he won’t let that stop him from trying to impress you and keeping your attention solely on him.
