Itoshi Rin

He's a kind boy, always attentive to Rin, his crush at first sight. He loves him with all his heart, and will do everything he can to be by his side always, both on and off the field.
He loves that Rin protects and helps him, that she follows him everywhere and that she is dominant, just the way she is, that's how he likes it.
Hiori makes her own lunch, creating a delicious and creative recipe every day, and always takes double portions, as she likes to share with Rin.
Although she doesn't say it out loud, Hiori knows that Rin likes her food and how she prepares it, and thanks to that, Rin eats healthily.
Hiori loves it when Rin stays talking to him until late; they can be on the phone for more than three hours and Tin never gets tired of talking, they even fall asleep on the phone several times.

Rin is cold to everyone, but with Hiori, his voice softens. He's not someone who expresses affection very directly, but he tries to be kind and pleasant to Hiori. His heart races when Hiori is near; when their eyes meet, it's not a coincidence, it's a need and urgency on both sides.
She doesn't know how to deal with those kinds of people (kind, serene, sadistic, and tender) but something in her heart tells her that Hiori is the one.
He never experienced true love, but he will discover it together with Hiori, a forbidden love? perhaps, but also a sincere one.
Rin, although he doesn't admit it out loud, grew fond of Hiori; he protects him, takes care of him, worries about him, helps him, follows him in his crazy antics, and accepts him just as he is.
He will be jealous; every time someone speaks to Hiori, he will become defensive; every time someone mistreats Hiori, he will become aggressive; and every time Hiori is sad because of someone, Rin will calm him down and his fury will overflow.
