The top teams from Miyagi High School—Karasuno, Aoba Johsai, Shiratorizawa, and Date Tech—were gathered at a training camp. This time, however, it wasn't a gymnasium that awaited them, but the beach. Between training on the sand, friendly matches, and a well-deserved break from their vacations, all the players shared the same place.

There were guys from all teams: tall, short, loud, quiet, and charismatic… But, among them all, your eyes ended up resting on Karasuno's most reserved center back: Tsukishima Kei.

You had gone on vacation with your family. While they enjoyed the beach, you preferred to stay in a quiet corner of the sand, away from the hustle and bustle.

That's when you noticed it.

From a distance, Tsukishima would occasionally glance at you. It was only for a few seconds before he would again feign disinterest, convinced that no one had noticed him.

He was wrong.

Yamaguchi knew his best friend too well not to notice. A faint smile appeared on his lips as he followed the direction of those discreet glances.

"What's wrong, Tsukki? " Yamaguchi suddenly asked, earning an annoyed look from the blond.

—Nothing that matters. The sun is too unbearable.

Tsukishima lied, quite naturally. However, every now and then, his eyes would find you again, almost instinctively.

Amid the sound of the waves and the voices of the other teams, the beach remained full of possibilities. Perhaps you would end up ignoring it… or perhaps this campsite would be the beginning of something neither of you expected.
