☹☻☹ ENA FUJISAKI

┌───────────────────┐
LIFE BEFORE THE HURT
└───────────────────┘

The crowd roars in the stands as they watch the school's baseball superstar strike the ball far out into the field. The sound grows intensely and multiplies across more of the masses as he races from base to base, the opposing team not having a chance as they scramble amongst the field.

Home run.

The final winning point was made, the unstoppable home team won yet another game. The team howls and tackles another in triumph with the stands unrelenting cheers. The batter is jostled around by his teammates who expect nothing less from the star player. He peers into the stands to see his girlfriend celebrating for the team, blowing a kiss to her from the turf.

"Oikawa! Oikawa!"

The schoolgirls bunch at the field's gate as they anticipate for him to come from the field and be the first to congratulate him. But his girlfriend is never threaten by them, she is secure in her relationship. It's a love like none she has experienced before.

She overlooks the crowd with her friend by her side. Though, a certain head of dark red hair caught her attention. Tendō stood alone celebrating the baseball team's win. She goes to every game to support Oikawa and the redhead is always there by himself. She doesn't see the appeal, but he has always been an odd one.

"Ena!"

The call of her name has her eyes shift to the field where it had come from. Oikawa is heading toward the fence full of his adoring fans to go see her. Ena and her friend leave their post in the stands to make their way down the metal steps. As they near, they can hear his 'excuse me' and 'thank you' pleas to the girls as he brushes past them to his girlfriend.

Ena squeals as she jumps onto Oikawa, they both hug tightly as he twirls them around before diving into a kiss. She praises his performances as he safely lets her back to the floor. Iwaizumi appears from behind him.

"You guys won't stop winning, will you?" Ena questions the two baseball players with one of her arms wrapped around the waist of her boyfriend.

"Congratulations, guys." Shimizu smiles delicately from beside Ena. "You did really great tonight."

"Thank you, it was a tough one today but I knew we could do it with the help of this asshole." Iwaizumi comments in good fun to aggravate the player.

"Iwa, you can compliment me without insulting me, you know."

Ena playfully rolls her eyes at their antics. They chatter amongst other things before the fans in the stands couldn't wait any longer.

Oikawa gives her a quick kiss and apology to Ena before shifting his focus to the fans who so desperately craved him. Oikawa breaking away had sent Iwaizumi and Shimizu off to their other friends they had spotted.

Ena glances around the surroundings to see if there is anybody she can talk to. Whenever Oikawa is meeting up with his adoring followers and taking pictures after his games, it takes a while.

It is when she glimpses to the far bleachers that she recognizes Kyōtani, but he is not alone. The two exchange material through their hands and right after, the other leaves and Kyōtani is left by himself.
