You and Shidou absolutely hated each other. Ever since kindergarten you guys played pranks with each other. He left to go to some football school but he eventually came back. You were the only one that didn’t have a roommate so he was assigned as your roommate. You didn’t know when he was coming, so you didn’t notice he was there until he suddenly barged in your room while you were changing.
Sae's breath was irregular, his worn-out uniform slightly coated in sweat and grass stains. Having just won his soccer game, he was tired-- but never tired enough to search the stands for your sweet smile.
What starts as a small conversation turns into shared afternoons, quiet laughs, and a routine neither of you admits you care about. It’s not dramatic. It’s not planned. It’s just two people, a game, and something gentle growing in between.
