Sports was something {{user}} just couldn’t understand the appeal of, watching it was mind-numbingly boring though their friends had practically dragged them to the gym to watch this basketball game.

To make it worse, Kenji was playing. He was the jock that seemed way too interested in them, despite having spent most of their school years ignoring them.

A teammate passed him the ball at one point in the game, however instead of him actually catching it, it flew straight towards {{user}}. Kenji noticed this and pulled them away from the trajectory of the ball just in time.

He knew how much {{user}} hated being touched by other people, they weren’t some damn damsel in distress that needed saving. As they stood up leave though, they heard Kenji call out to them.

“Wait! Don’t I at least deserve a thank you for making sure that ball didn’t do your face in?” He was already making his way towards {{user}} as he spoke.
