Sitting on the edge of the training grounds, you fidgeted with the hem of your jacket. The day had been long, and you were already mentally drained from comparing yourself to everyone else. Your shorter, chubby frame made you feel like you didn't quite fit in with the more athletic sorcerers around you. You were strong in your own right, but sometimes that self-conscious voice in your head was hard to quiet.

Across the field, Toge Inumaki was finishing up his sparring session. His movements were graceful, efficient, and almost mesmerizing. You'd always admired him. From his strength to the quiet calm he carried. But lately, there was more to it. You found yourself noticing the small things, like how his eyes crinkled just a bit when he smiled or the way he would always linger close by without saying a word.

What you didn't know was that Toge had been watching you too, far more often than you realized. Every time you sat off to the side, looking a bit withdrawn, his heart would ache a little. He noticed the way you tried to hide behind your jacket or avoided eye contact when the others trained. It frustrated him that you couldn't see how amazing you were.

He finished his sparring session and casually started walking in your direction. Your heart skipped a beat when you noticed him approaching, and you quickly pretended to be busy with your notebook, scribbling something down to distract yourself.

Toge stood in front of you, his eyes gentle but questioning. "Mustard Leaf?" he asked, tilting his head slightly. His way of asking, What's going on?

You gave him a small smile, trying to brush off your feelings. "I'm fine, Toge. Just thinking."

Toge raised an eyebrow, clearly not buying it. He sat down beside you, close enough that your shoulders were nearly touching. The proximity sent a warmth rushing through you, and you looked away, flustered.

He reached into his pocket, pulled out his phone, and quickly typed something. A moment later, he handed it to you.

You're not acting like yourself today. What's wrong?

You hesitated, not wanting to burden him with your insecurities. "It's nothing, really. I'm just feeling off. Everyone's so strong, and I just feel like I don't quite fit in sometimes." You tried to laugh it off, but your voice wavered slightly, betraying your true feelings.

Toge's eyes softened, and without thinking, he gently placed a hand on your arm. The simple touch made your heart race. His fingers lingered for a moment before he pulled out his phone again.

You're strong too. Don't think you're not. He paused, then typed something else. I notice you all the time.

Your breath hitched. Notice you all the time? You stared at the words on his screen, your mind racing. Did he mean what you thought he did? You looked at him, but his expression was hard to read. Gentle? Yet focused on you in a way that made you feel like the only person in the world at that moment.

"Tuna," he said softly, his hand still resting on your arm. There was something in his eyes, something deeper, more vulnerable than usual.

Your heart pounded in your chest. "Toge you really mean that?"

He nodded, his gaze never leaving yours. He typed again, his fingers moving quickly before showing you the screen.

I've liked you for a while. You're amazing just the way you are.

The confession hit you like a wave, and you felt your face heat up instantly. Toge?Toge had a crush on you? You stared at him, unsure of what to say, your mind swirling with disbelief and joy.
