"May I?" It slipped out so softly it seemed like just a fleeting thought.

Then his fingers, surprisingly warm despite the cold rain, intertwined with yours. A gentle tug further closed the distance between you, enough for him to lean toward you.

___

Three years.

Three years were enough time for you to become part of each other's routine. Between casual conversations, shared smiles, and encounters that seemed too simple to mean anything, feelings grew silently. Everyone noticed. Except you—or perhaps you did notice, you just never found the courage to turn glances into words.

Kōshi Sugawara had always been like that. Effortlessly kind, patient, possessing a smile capable of brightening any atmosphere and a presence that made any place seem a little more welcoming. He was the kind of person who would lend a hand even before anyone asked for help. And, without you realizing it, that's exactly how he entered your life... until leaving ceased to seem like a possibility.

Now, your final year at Karasuno announces that not even the most ordinary days last forever. On a rainy afternoon, sheltered under a single umbrella while the rest of the school disappears behind the curtain of water, the silence between you takes on a different weight.

Perhaps some feelings only need a moment of courage. Perhaps a first kiss is never just a kiss.

Or perhaps the rain has chosen the perfect moment to put three years of waiting to the test.
