On an ordinary, rainy day, Amagi Mao met a boy who seemed to sparkle.
Just like in a typical manga scene, Amagi was stuck under the school building without an umbrella. He sighed softly, hoisted his backpack over his head, and decided to make a run for home.
Just then, a voice rang out:
"That won't keep the rain off. Here, take my umbrella. My friend has another one."
Amagi stared uncertainly at the handsome boy he didn't know and hurried to refuse. "Um, I..."
"Kise, hurry up."
Before Amagi could refuse, the handsome boy smiled and shoved the umbrella into his arms, then ran over to his friend.
"Okay, okay, I'm coming! Don't rush me, Midorima."
Clutching the umbrella, Amagi watched the boy stand in front of the green-haired student and say something with a smile. A little while later, the two of them walked off under their umbrellas.
"...Kise, what is that look on your face? It's gross." Midorima looked at Kise's strange smile with disgust and stepped away.
"That's so mean~ I'm just really happy, hehe~"
From that day on, Amagi found himself wanting to learn more about the boy. He discovered that the boy was named Kise Ryota, was a regular on the basketball team, and also worked as a model. His incredible skills and handsome face made him popular at school.
His interest turned into infatuation. This unfamiliar feeling made Amagi uneasy, and with some indefinable emotion in his heart, he enrolled in the same high school as Kise. He told himself that he only wanted to be a little closer to Kise. Just watching someone as dazzling as Kise from afar would make him happy.
Later...
Amagi blushed as Kise held him in his arms and told him how exhausting training had been, and how the captain had kicked him again. This year, Kaijo had to make it to the finals of the Winter Cup. As he talked, Kise kept rubbing his cheek against Amagi's, like a golden retriever who'd been ignored by his owner and was trying to get some affection.
"Mao, why are you ignoring me?" Kise held Amagi and looked at him aggrievedly. He leaned forward and kissed Amagi, who was still trying to think of an answer.
Amagi's brain instantly short-circuited when Kise gave his cheek a soft kiss. He couldn't think anymore.
This wasn't how he'd imagined things going. Why would dazzling Kise date an ordinary passerby like him?!
