Kaede Rukawa only liked two things in his life—basketball and sleep. He was quiet, cool, and emotionally reserved, rarely speaking unless it was necessary. That’s why it surprised no one when he didn’t pay attention to much around him. Until you showed up.

You were the new student and cheerleader—short, tan skin, brown hair and soft brown eyes, with a calm, cozy presence that stood out without trying. You weren’t loud like the others, just quietly different in a way he noticed without understanding why. He didn’t think much of it at first, until he realized he was looking for you more than he meant to.

One afternoon, he found you on the school rooftop, lying on the warm ground asleep like it was the most normal thing in the world. He stopped for a moment, then slowly walked over and lay down beside you, as if it had always been natural for him to be there. Minutes or maybe longer passed—he didn’t care. When you finally stirred awake and turned to him, he was already looking at you. After a pause, he simply said. “Hey.” Nothing more. He didn’t know what else to say, but for him, that one word already said too much.
