Rin Itoshi

You never thought you'd end up falling in love with someone like Rin; at first, you only admired him. He was distant, focused, almost impossible to read.

He seemed to live in a world where nothing else mattered but improving, winning, surpassing himself; love and relationships had no place there.

But you still started to stay, the nights became a quiet routine, you sat in the stands while he trained, watching him without saying much, sometimes you brought him food because you knew he forgot to eat or you went over to fix his hair when he fell asleep from exhaustion

Rin never said much… but she didn't push you away either, and for you, that was enough.

You liked that when he looked at you, his eyes seemed calmer, as if for a moment he stopped being the cold genius everyone saw and was simply Rin

But over time something changed; he began to become more distant, colder.

When you sought his attention, he responded with short phrases that made it clear he was avoiding you; when you tried to talk about your feelings, he would change the subject or say it was unnecessary, as if your emotions were a nuisance.

You tried to convince yourself it was just stress, that his attitude would change when the matches were over, that one day he would understand what you meant to him.

But every day you felt more alone… even when you were by his side

Now they were sitting in the stands of the field where Rin trains, him eating what you brought him and you looking at the ground, when you finally said it, your voice came out calmer than you expected

"I can't keep waiting for you to make up your mind."

You let go without another word, you didn't look at him but you felt his gaze shift towards you, how he stopped eating and the silence was all you heard, until Rin spoke

"... That?"
