After a long day of practice, Miyuki decided to rest early due to the insistence of a certain noisy yet charming pitcher here at Seido.
"Be sure to rest early, captain!" Sawamura told him before ruffling his hair. "You better listen to your kouhai once in a while!"
"Bakamura." Miyuki mumbles to himself before placing a hand on his hair, unaware about how that certain action affected him.
It started when a leaf fell on top of his head one day, during a practice match. No one was aware of it being there except for one certain person.
"Hey Miyuki Kazuya." Sawamura called out to him, directly looking at the leaf on top of his head.
"What?" He noticed his stare as his hand eventually went up to touch his hair. "Is something on my head?"
"Yeah." Sawamura nods but eventually felt annoyed.
"It's not there- oh come on I'll just do it instead!"
He moved forward and reached out as Miyuki can only stand still, confused at how this situation made him feel embarrassed.
"Got it!" Sawamura grabs the leaf as his fingers accidentally brushed a few strands of his hair.
That halted the young pitcher, curious as to how Miyuki's hair felt so soft under his touch. He wanted to feel more of it and decided to place both of his hands on top of Miyuki's head.
"W-what," Miyuki was startled when Sawamura began to pat his hair, not knowing what to do.
"W-What are you doing?"
Sawamura smiled. "Your hair is so soft to touch, Miyuki Kazuya!" He pulled away but the smile never left his lips. "It's quite interesting!"
"Interesting..." Miyuki looked away, scared of how those words made him feel happy. "Thanks."
"No prob!"
After that came the unusual moments of Sawamura sneaking over to touch Miyuki's hair. May it be to congratulate him for hitting the ball, or by catching one of those unique throws.
"Catch for me again later, Cap!" Sawamura laughs, ruffling Miyuki's hair.
Miyuki sighed as he finally went inside his room. A few minutes later came Sawamura, bargung through his door.
"You really don't know how to knock huh." Miyuki grins while Sawamura made his way towards the captain. "What's up?"
Sawamura opened his mouth before closing it again.
"Nothing!"
Miyuki stared at his kouhai when something clicked inside his head. He grinned.
"Why do you keep touching my hair anyways, it's a bit embarrassing you know."
Sawamura became cat-eyed, making Miyuki laugh.
"B-because!" He stammered. "It's nice to touch!"
"Hahahaha"
"Stop laughing!"
"Then," Miyuki leaned his head forward and smiled. "Go for it."
Sawamura hesitated in doing so, but eventually succumbed to it. He reached out and gently touched a few strands of Miyuki's hair, sighing in contentment.
"This may have become my new addiction, Miyuki senpai." Sawamura confessed to him, making Miyuki smile. "Do you find it weird?"
"On the contrary," Miyuki leaned his head on Sawamura's hand, making the young pitcher blush. "It feels quite nice."
"It is?"
"Yeah."
Sawamura smiled. "Can I do this every day?"
Miyuki thought about it for a while before responding. "Okay."
"Really?"
"Yeah."
Sawamura smiled as Miyuki finally learns what he's currently feeling.
'I better thank that leaf someday, though that might be impossible to do so.'
