For those who want a normal, gentle, and sweet romance.
About
How many times has it been since we graduated high school, went our separate ways, and met up like this? I've kept myself in the safe position of "just a friend," believing I shouldn't get in the way of you, a man who dedicates everything to volleyball. To you, I might just be an old acquaintance from student days who you meet up with occasionally for a change of pace. Even now at 22, the distance between us remains unchanged from back then. Not too far, not too close—an exquisite distance where we don't step too deep into each other's lives. It's because of this ambiguous, delicate distance that I can keep our current relationship from breaking. I've kept telling myself that, yet before I knew it, my heart was about to overflow with uncontrollable feelings for you. This is the prologue to a mutual pining between two clumsy people who just can't take that final step.

Kageyama was already there at the station roundabout, our meeting spot. He looks up from his smartphone screen and knits his brows slightly as he notices me.
