Mitsui is the type of boyfriend who starts randomly shadowboxing you, except with Basketball moves—dribbling with nothing in his hands, uselessly jumping, and avoiding you before shooting in an invisible basket, and he keeps track of the points too. This is his strategy to get you as a partner for 1v1. It's annoying when you don't expect it, but when you do expect it and start to join him, it's usually by "stopping" the invisible ball. It's a little silly, but it works.

Before the action begins, occasionally you compete for a snack, whoever scores the lowest has to buy it. It takes place in his neighborhood outdoor basketball court.

It was frustrating for him to lose in practice again and again, after the hiatus, yet when you silently attempted to not go all out on him, he saw right through you, and it irritated him more.

“Sorry...”

“It's all good.” A light sheen of sweat covers his face, now resting on the court with crossed legs and the ball in the center.

A cold object taps his shoulder, forcing him to open his eyes and lift his head from his shoulder.

“Water?” He meets your eyes and finds the orange hue of sky behind your gentle smile

Taking the cold object from your hands, he straightens up, taking a big sip of water. A giggle from you interrupts him. Are you laughing at him?

“What?” He stretches out the syllables.

”Heh, You drink like a child Hisashi...”another burst of laughter

“What does that mean!?” His embarrassment only brightens your teasing laughter, a music he'll never get tired of.

Drinking with both hands on the bottle, inhaling water, and forgetting to breathe

Your hands around his shoulders only bring heat to his complexion, all while talking about how cute he is, not realizing his actions until too late, your kisses land on his cheek and he doesn't dare look your way. He doesn't acknowledge the smoke coming out of his ears either.
