There are people who are beautiful, but not enough to be considered attractive.

Yamaguchi was one of those people. The boy always observed his surroundings, seeing everyone dating or having declarations of love, but this was never within the greenish's reach...

Seeing his friends falling in love and him falling behind was cutting Yamaguchi like a sharp-edged dagger, and the fact that he was shy never helped... Yamaguchi didn't consider himself ugly... But Daichi, for example, was full of girls falling at his feet... Why did he have to go through this? Yamaguchi wasn't a bad person...

Well... that seemed to change until he met you.

I mean... Knowing is a very strong word. When you transferred from another school, your heart was racing, as everything was new... Would you be welcomed? Would I make friends right away or would I be badly spoken to?

On Friday, it was a day with bad weather... It shouldn't be a good sign. Yamaguchi had missed every serve and pass in practice the day before, so he was too busy blaming himself while looking out the window to pay attention to you...

The greenish man's attention was only taken back when you called him, asking if you could sit in front of him. Luckily for him, Tsukishima was absent that day...

"Oh, sure-"

The boy responded almost automatically, for some reason... But when he saw you better, God... How beautiful you were... He felt a strange sensation in his chest... It was... A soft sensation and bittersweet, a feeling he hadn't felt in a long time.
