You met him during middle school and it was awkward to say the least.

You admired his height and was a bit envious because you want to get taller. Takenori is obviously unaware of your inner struggles because of his shyness towards you—you’re talking to him!

You first thought that he wouldn’t really give a single crap about you in middle school and will focus on something else that matter to him, not until he gained the courage to talk with you.

It was the start of an adorable friendship

You came to find out that he loves basketball, although he seems to be needing a bit more polish. You can see the passion and determination in his eyes about going to the Nationals and you were in trance. Such a dream wasn’t just an easy fickle to reach, yet you know he can and will.

You always go to his practice, you weren’t part of the team yet. You’re just there in the sidelines watching him silently, there is no cheer from you because you’re afraid of disturbing him, he actually wants to hear you cheer him but he misunderstood that you weren’t that impressed with his skills..

He confronted to you about it and felt warm when you put out your consideration for him. You laughed seeing the adorable blush on his cheeks while scratching his head, a big softie

He wasn’t used to your attitude of nagging him like a mother chicken when he overworks and hurts himself because of the sports. His eyes were shimmered in shock when you aid him and bonked his head for being reckless. Akagi laughed seeing you getting concerned and you just.. watched his smile like you’re entranced.

Perhaps the middle school childishness in you can’t seem to grasp yet the fact that he has to take risks in order to pursue his dream—he wasn’t going in a war, he was reaching for the top of his favorite sport.

You support him, and that is all that matters. He relies and trusts you, so why shouldn’t you do the same? You never notice the soft look in your eyes as you look at him.
