Wait, wait, did he just say something outrageous?

Hoshino Ryo pupil earthquake.

Hey? Why?? Could it be that he is having auditory hallucinations? He must have heard it wrong, right? Otherwise, how could you hear the captain ask if you want to touch his abs? Well, he must have heard it wrong!!

Ryo Hoshino nodded in self-affirmation. Ah, Ryo Hoshino, what your goddamn brain thinks about all day-

"Want to touch it?" The familiar voice sounded again.

Ryo Hoshino: "......" He looked at him with a blank gaze and said, "...... Are you asking me? ”

"Hmm."

"Why—why?" Ryo Hoshino suddenly thought of something, and he was angry, "I just ...... Did you say that? ”

Ushijima pondered for a moment, "If you mean, 'The captain's abs are perfectly shaped, and they look good to the touch without force'—"

"Ahhhhhh Ryo Hoshino was so embarrassed that he slammed his toes on the ground. Ushijima Wakari stopped with kindness, while Ryo Hoshino covered his face in shame.

Neither of them made a sound for a moment, and the only thing left in the dormitory was the sound of the fan turning.

“…… That's why you're still so calm, Captain. A dull voice came from under the hand that covered his face, and a pair of eyes crept out from between his fingers.

The amber eyes, which looked particularly sharp on the court, were a little soft at the moment, and the tails of the eyes were still flushed with red from the embarrassment just now.

The silver-haired boy then muttered, "You obviously said such a terrible thing." ”

"Terrible?" Ushijima Wakari frowned, "You said you wanted to know the touch—"

"Ahhhh Ryo Hoshino fried his hair again, and the tips of his ears were red, "Aren't I just thinking about it in my heart......"

"So you still want to touch it." Ushijima Wakari thoughtfully.

"No, no, should we change the subject?" Ryo Hoshino rubbed the back of his head and stammered his hands, "You, you see, although I want to touch it a little, you can't just let me touch it-"

"Yes."

"Karma?" At this time, Ryo Hoshino was completely stunned.

The overhead fan "creaked" around, carrying a whirring wind through the ends of the hair. The atmosphere in the room froze instantly, or rather, it finally froze.

"I ...... Captain, you're kidding, right? Hoshino ripped the corners of his mouth, trying to liven up the atmosphere, but the other party's expression did not move at all, and he still looked at him calmly.

The hand that rested on the leg was shaken loosely.

Damn, isn't it just touching your abs? What is there to be afraid of!

With this thought, Ryo Hoshino walked to the side of the bed with a stiff expression. In just a few steps, he walked out of a feeling of seeing death as home.

In the process, he saw that Ushijima Ruoli's gaze kept falling on him.

He walked up to Ushijima and stopped.

The captain was looking up at me.

The moment this thought came to mind, Ryo Hoshino's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. The brownish-green haired boy propped his hands on either side, his head slightly tilted, and looked at him without saying a word, as if he were ...... It's like inviting something.

His Adam's apple rolled unconsciously.

In order to hide his strangeness, Hoshino Ryo leaned forward, lowered his eyes, avoided the other party's gaze, and said in a dumb voice: "Then, then I touched ......"

After hesitating for a few seconds, he reached out and gently pressed it on the boy's upper abdomen. Through the thin undershirt, he could still feel the gully under his fingers, and he subconsciously touched the gully and pressed it unconsciously.

The muscles that were still a little soft tensed a little, and Ryo Hoshino came back to his senses in an instant.

Realizing what he had done, he immediately raised his hand and was about to take a step back, but someone grabbed his wrist and pulled forward.

He staggered, and his free hand pressed against the other man's arm against the bed board next to Ushijima Wakari, and only then did he stabilize his body.

"W-"

The word on the back swallowed back as his fingertips suddenly touched a piece of warmth.

His eyes widened in almost astonishment.

He felt the exact same ravine, and there was no barrier.

Hoshino turned his head sharply, but crashed into a deep brownish green.

He was stunned for a moment, only to hear the boy say: "I accidentally used force just now, I'll control it, you can try again." ”

The muscles under his hand trembled twice because of the pull of the other party's words, and the CPU in Ryo Hoshino's head was already screaming and sounding the alarm.

They are very close. It's because it's too close, the temperature of the other party's body, the heat brought out when breathing, and the voice when speaking are so close that they can affect his reaction. He even saw the other person's eyes clearly.

Beneath the seemingly quiet brown-green color, there is a turbulent dark tide. And the tide was coming at him through those eyes. By the time he realized it, the waves had arrived, and he could only be dragged and sunk together.

He should look away.

He should break free of the other's hand

Target.

But he didn't.

The heat from his fingertips seemed to flow down his body into his brain, burning the already overwhelmed CPU to the point of almost blowing, making him unable to think at all.

As a result, he could only be guided by the other party's hand, trembling and caressing every ravine, while answering the other party's questions.

"Well, is it the same as yours?"

"Aang? Uh-huh, uh-huh......"

"And now? I used a little force, is it still soft? ”

"Ah......h Like、Seems to be a little harder? ”

Ryo Hoshino didn't know what he was answering at all, and just instinctively responded to the other party's question. Unconsciously, he was already half-leaning in each other's arms, the only fulcrum knee against the door between the boy's legs, and the hands of the two who were also on the bed board did not know when they were entangled together.

He touched it over and over again, until his fingertips were hot, until he even felt that he could draw the whole shape in his mind, that he felt the shackles on his hands loosen, and then he was gently held by something.

But Ryo Hoshino, who had already had his brain down, didn't react to what was happening, and looked at the person in front of him a little confused.

He didn't realize how ambiguous their posture was, and he didn't know what kind of expression he was looking at now.

Ushijima Ruoli narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes were at the tail of the silver-haired boy's slightly red eyes, and his right hand subconsciously rubbed the fingertips held in his hand.

The slightly itchy touch shook Ryo Hoshino's body, grabbed the last bit of sanity in danger, and slowly came to his senses. When Hoshino Ryo came back to his senses, he saw an angular chin.

Ryo Hoshino: "!! ”

He jerked to his feet, then was pulled to a halt in mid-air by a force.

Ryo Hoshino, who stood up but didn't completely stand up straight, looked at the force, and what caught his eye was two entangled hands. Ah, to be precise, it was he who "unilaterally" invaded the other party's fingers and then wrapped them around the other person's fingers.

Ryo Hoshino: "......" can't be asked for this hand.

"Ahem."

He coughed lightly, carefully pulled out his unassuming hand, and then cautiously glanced at Ushijima Woryori's expression.

It's good, it's still so motionless.

Hey, so he wasn't dreaming, was he? He did touch the captain's abs, and more than once?

Hoshino rubbed his fingers, and the warm touch seemed to stay in his fingertips.

Wait a minute, it seems that the captain grabbed his hand ...... the next time?

Hoshino Ryo froze: "That, that, captain, just now you-"

"It's time to go."

"Huh?"

Ushijima stood up and squeezed Ryo Hoshino a step back. He pointed to the screen of his phone: "It's going to be late, evening training." ”

Seeing the time gate above, Ryo Hoshino instantly shook the pupils of the door.

It's over, it's over!

*

Eagle Smith forged a sharp look at the two people in front of him, and after a few seconds, he couldn't see anything from the two calm faces.

In the end, he could only frown and said coldly: "Join the ranks." ”

"Yes."

The two stood in the line. Hoshino, who pretended to be calm, secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It's good, sure enough, as long as I don't panic, it's others who panic.

Just now, after the two of them found out that they were almost late, they rushed over without saying a word. Thanks to his usual diligent long-distance running training, otherwise he would really not be able to catch up with Ushijima Ruoli with all his strength, and he would not be able to catch up with the evening training.

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard the old man speak: "Now that everyone is here, let's prepare to start the practice match." ”

Uh-oh, practice sessions.

- What? Practice matches?! It turned out to be a practice match with the captain! Anyway, it seems that there are a lot of seniors who have graduated!

Ryo Hoshino, whose CPU was finally loaded, finally reacted.

Probably because the shocked expression on his face was too obvious, Taiichi Kawanishi next to him asked suspiciously, "Didn't you come with Ushijima-senpai?" Why don't you seem to know about this? ”

"That's right, Hoshino," Hankawa Eyong probed over from the other side, "Didn't you say that Ushijima-senpai also went to the dormitory to look for you?" You've been talking for so long, and you haven't said anything about today's practice match arrangement? ”

Ryo Hoshino shook his head stiffly.

Han Hejiang was obviously a little confused: "Then what are you doing in the dormitory?" He looked at the time door, "It's been nearly half an hour, and I'm almost late." Are you talking about other training? ”

What are you doing in the dorm?

Ryo Hoshino recalled what had just happened, and his face was as wonderful as a palette.

Hanhejiang: "?? ”

Ryo Hoshino: "......"

Super, how do you say that?

Could it be that they discussed in harmony and friendship in the dormitory "Individual differences about whether the abs are hard or soft when relaxed or tight"?!
