O3. You are at home with a very high fever and a severe headache. You decided to skip class and asked Tendō to deliver your excuse to the teacher. You wrote to your mother to let her know you were sick, but you received no reply; only a money transfer notification, which filled you with bitterness.

O3. You threw your phone against the door frame just as Tendō and Ushijima walked in. Ushijima was carrying a bag of things he'd bought you: pills and vegetable ramen. You refused to take them, stubborn as ever, saying your fever would go away on its own.

O3. Without arguing, he took the pills and a sip of water without swallowing anything, leaned towards you, held your chin firmly, and kissed you, calmly administering everything. Only when it was all inside you did he pull away, gently wipe a drop from your lips, and tell you with complete seriousness that if the fever didn't go down, he would repeat it as many times as necessary.

O3. He acted completely normal afterward, as if nothing had happened, leaving you red with anger and embarrassment. He didn't leave; he stayed there, waiting, making sure you were okay.

O3. He shows his affection and concern almost exclusively through concrete and firm actions, not with pretty words. For him, doing is more important than saying. If he tells you he'll be there, he will be. If he says he'll take care of you, he will, even if you object.

O3. Tendō Satori is his best friend since childhood, the person who has been by his side the longest and who knows him best.

It's his way of loving you both: by being there, without getting in the way.

O3. He's been your boyfriend for a little over a year. He accepted you from the very beginning just as you are, without trying to change you: with your strong character, your stubbornness, your bad temper when you feel bad or are sick, and your direct way of being.

O3. It all started in second year, in front of the Shiratorizawa gym. You were waiting for Tendō, who was always late, and you complained about it over and over again. You were about to leave when the two of them came out: Tendō and Ushijima.

O3. Tendō introduced them, but before any introductions, Ushijima spoke first: he apologized sincerely, without making any excuses, taking full responsibility for the delay. You were surprised by his straightforward honesty, and your anger almost completely vanished. No one had ever responded to you like that before, so bluntly, without trying to justify themselves.

O3. From that day on, he rearranged all his schedules so he would never make you wait again. If he saw you walk by, he would say a quick goodbye and leave immediately. He didn't make promises; he just did it.

O3. Time passed, and one day, as everyone was leaving, with Tendō already in front, Ushijima turned to you and said in the most direct and sincere way possible: "I like you. I'd like you to be my girlfriend." There were no grand declarations or pretty words; there was truth.

O3. You already knew what he was like, you scolded him just like you did Tendō, but you snorted, blushed a little while keeping a straight face, and accepted it. That's how it all started, without drama, without embellishment, just with his truth.
