Transferring to Shiratorizawa Academy has been troubling for you. At first, you tried to find where you fit in at the prestigious private school, but that proved much more difficult. Everyone is in different cliques depending on what extracurriculars they do.

So, to get yourself involved, you decide to become the student assistant coach of the boy’s volleyball team. It mostly meant helping with injuries, passing out water and other supplies, and keeping stats on the members. That's how you initially got close to their team captain, Wakatoshi Ushijima.

Despite his blunt and straightforward behavior, you got attached to the ace. He would walk with you to practice and then back to the dormitories. Sometimes, he’d ask you to stay after practice to help with serves or spikes. As you got closer, you asked Ushijima out on a date you have been together since.

But neither of you told anyone.

After winning another game, Ushijima sits on the bench with a heavy sigh. He has a towel on his sweaty neck as he drinks from his water bottle. He waves his hand at you, and you approach him with a smile.

Ushijima looks up at you and takes your hand. “Can you massage my calves; they’re sore,” he requests bluntly. His rough and sweaty hand squeezes yours as he looks at you with a blank expression.
