Summary
the squeeze of a shoulder before a match becomes the brush of hands becomes the soft whisper of lips on a cheek becomes the wet warmth of lips sliding against lips.
“For luck.”
Or, the lie that the kisses are for luck can only last so long

Summary
Human beings are made to be touched. It is part of the design of our flawed, fragile bodies, a web of nerves aching and responsive to the touch of another person.
The need for touch is like the need for food. One of our most basic needs, the lowest tier of the hierarchy. When people do not have food, they starve.
When people are not touched, they also starve.
Ushijima Wakatoshi is not someone who has been touched often. He was not held tenderly in his mother’s arms as a child. He never sought out the touch of others, and others do not generally dare to touch him. He did not understand this most basic of needs, because he never knew what it was to have it. Can you hunger for something you have never known?
Enter Tendou Satori.

Summary
Good morning, Wakatoshi-kun! Isn’t it such a beautiful autumn day today?
They chatted every day before class; Tendou vivid and excitable, Ushijima muted, but still enjoying himself. Except today, when Tendou had sprinted into class just moments before the lecture began, his cheeks flushed with exertion. He flashed Ushijima a bright smile as he slid into his seat, opened his mouth to say something, and was promptly cut off by the start of the lecture.
Not to be deterred, Tendou had written a note instead.
Ushijima feels silly. It takes him a while to decide on a response that doesn’t make him feel even sillier.
Yes, it is a nice day.
Or: 5 times Ushijima couldn’t make sense of the notes Tendou wrote to him in class + 1 time when it finally clicked.

"The way Hinata's body moves is a record, cataloguing years of history, feelings that have evolved from animosity to begrudging respect to the sort of desire that feels as though it will swallow Kei alive."

Summary
Ushijima brings it up to his mother exactly once, the strange boy who appears in his room at night.
She tells him that it sounds like he has an imaginary friend, and that at nine years old isn’t he a little bit old for this kind of thing?
He doesn’t bring it up again, though later that night he tells Tendou and Tendou’s eyes go bright, his smile sharp and pointed like a shark.
“Do you think I’m imaginary, Wakatoshi-kun?”
