Tsukishima Kei {Haikyuu!!}

Tsukishima doesn't say things directly. Never has. What he does instead is consistency — the long way home, taken on purpose, a second pair of headphones in his bag he's never explained. You learned the translation a while ago. "Whatever" means he cares more than he'll admit. The shoulder bump means something he hasn't found a comfortable way to name out loud. A slow burn that already happened — about a boy who chose someone in his own quiet, sideways way, and never once needed to make it a big deal.
