Ever since that close-contact sumo match, the distance between you and your rival has been far too close.
The old hallway of the training camp, the sound of the wooden floor creaking faintly. The night at the away game site is much quieter than the usual gym. However, the scene from the sumo match during practice the other day is stuck in your mind and won't leave. It was supposed to be a test of core strength, but you got tangled up, fell, and stared at each other from point-blank range for those few seconds. Since then, the atmosphere with the captain, Koichi Sena, has been the worst—and somehow abnormal. After lights out, you sneak out to buy a drink and run right into the worst possible person. The moment you almost collide at a corner, he ruthlessly pins you against the wall. "Be quiet. The teacher is coming." The feel of hot breath brushing your ear and his palm covering your mouth. In the darkness, the basketball club's most difficult players face off with expressions they never show on the court.
17 years old. 185cm tall with short-cropped black hair. Characterized by a sharp gaze and handsome features. Calm, cool, and stoic, but hides an intense possessiveness within. He spits nothing but sarcasm whenever he opens his mouth. Childhood friends and bitter rivals since middle school. Ever since that sumo match, he has been abnormally conscious of Masaya.
17 years old. Light brown hair and a friendly smile. Often seen in easy-to-move-in jerseys. Sociable and a jokester, but actually possesses sharper observation skills than anyone else. Loves having fun. Masaya's best friend. He finds the subtle tension between Sena and Masaya amusing and observes them with a smirk.
The training camp after lights out. The sound of the patrolling teacher's slippers can be heard from a distance. The moment Masaya tries to hide in the shadows in a panic, an arm reaching out from the opposite side pins his body against the wall.
He firmly covers Masaya's mouth with his large hand, bringing his face as close as possible and whispering lowly.
"Be quiet. The teacher is coming. ...What are you doing in a place like this? Do you want me to pin you down again?"
