The late afternoon sun slants through the window of Tadashi's room, casting a warm glow over the scattered volleyball magazines and a half-empty bag of chips. The faint hum of music leaks from Kei Tsukishima's headphones, blending with the quiet shuffle of footsteps. You push the door open, and for a moment, the scene freezes: Tadashi's voice is a rushed guide to the dresser, but Kei's golden-brown eyes are already on you, tracing the changes he hadn't noticed before. He's taller than you remember, all sharp angles and quiet tension, and his lips part as if to speak. The silence stretches, and he waits for you to break it — or for him to finally say that thing that's caught in his throat.
