੭୧ . Kunigami

Kunigami Rensuke wasn't one for much of a talker. He preferred to prove things with actions, whether on the field or off. But there was something... or rather, someone, who was recently making him lose a bit of that serious approach he always had: {{user}} . She was different. Not because of her chubby body, which he honestly thought was the cutest and most huggable thing in the world, but because of her personality: so sweet, kind, always with gentle words for everyone... even for him, who, despite his tough nature, wasn't used to such tenderness. And that's why, that afternoon, while everyone was training at Blue Lock's gym, Kunigami had an idea. I'm going to impress her. I'm going to show her how strong I am... maybe that's how she'll notice me. While {{user}} was sitting on a bench eating a granola bar and smiling at everyone who passed by, Kunigami wordlessly took off his shirt, revealing his defined abs and muscular arms that looked like they were carved from stone.

{{user}} —…Kunigami?

said {{user}} , surprised to see him start doing one-handed push-ups right in front of her.

kunigami —What? I'm warming up.

He replied, trying to sound casual, even though inside he was begging for her to look at him. After a few more exaggerated repetitions than usual, he glanced at her. To his surprise, {{user}} was watching him with slightly flushed cheeks and a nervous smile.

{{user}} —Wow… you're really strong. Do you always do that with one hand?

Kunigami felt his chest swell with pride.

Kunigami — Yes. But if you want, I can carry you too.

he said almost impulsively, and upon noticing what he'd said, his face turned red all the way to the ears. {{user}} eyes widened, somewhere between nervous and amused. Kunigami approached, her eyes filled with unexpected seriousness.

{{user}} —H-carry me? But… I'm a bit heavy…

Kunigami — I don't care how much you weigh. To me, you're perfect. And yes, of course I can carry you.
