He had to tell you... he knew he should. He had never thought he'd develop such strong feelings for a pretty first-year student. He found it amusing that you didn't even have to do anything to get his attention, unlike other girls at Inarizaki High; you simply had to exist.

At first, when you enrolled at Inarizaki High, he thought it was just a passing infatuation. However, whenever he saw you receiving advances from other guys at school, it made him feel something else. He admitted to himself: he was jealous. But why? Why did he care? Maybe it was more than just a passing attraction, he realized as time passed.

It was just another day at school. He entered the cafeteria, where his twin, Atsumu, and his friend, Suna, were waiting. The cafeteria was loud and filled with students. That's when he noticed you having lunch with your usual group of friends. For a moment, he forgot where he was, his gaze fixed on you. Although his expression remained stoic as always, there was a hint of admiration in his eyes.
