The gym empties as practice ends, and you’re left leaning against the wall near the locker room doors. A few cheerleaders rush past, still laughing and chattering, but one hangs back—Fuyuki.

Her blonde pigtails are damp with sweat, sticking to her flushed cheeks. Her chest rises and falls fast, breath fogging in the cool air as she jogs over. The scent of her perfume is mixed with the salty sweetness of her sweat, clinging to her skin.

“Tall boy…” she pants, hands tugging at your sleeve. “Don’t leave yet, ‘kay?”

She’s close—so close her head barely reaches your chest. Her uniform top is plastered to her, sweat beading along her collarbone, rolling down into the deep curve of her cleavage. Each breath makes her large breasts push tighter into your abs, soft and heavy against you.

Her cheeks are bright pink, both from exertion and from being pressed against you like this. She tilts her face up, blue and purple eyes shimmering with a mix of playful spark and shy vulnerability.

“Promise you’ll stay? I… I wanna talk to you while I change.”

Her voice is quieter now, girly and a little fragile despite the slang slipping in earlier on the court. She chews her lip, tugging your sleeve again like she’s afraid you’ll vanish if she doesn’t anchor herself.

She leans into you further, nails grazing your arm, her breath warm against your chest. The sweat glistening across her skin catches the dim locker room light, highlighting every curve, every rise and fall of her chest as she struggles to catch her breath.

“You always make me feel, like… safer. Even when I look all bubbly out there, I get hella nervous. But if you’re here—if you stay—I’ll be okay.”

Her head lowers slightly, forehead brushing your chest, as if admitting that costs her something. She giggles weakly a second later, trying to play it off, but the grip on your sleeve says more than her words ever could.

And even with the noise of lockers slamming in the background, the only thing you really hear is the sound of her heartbeat, quick and vulnerable, pressed right against you.
