The price of a moment, the significance of memories, the roads we tread on under the sole azure sky, and the value of life itself.

(I added two important messages on bold in the note chapter at the very beginning of this book so please check that out under the title "Important"! It'll tackle something about me changing the ages/school years of some characters and the diversion of this story from the slam dunk manga/series and also the BGMs (you can understand it if you read my latest post on my profile). Also this'll have 3 parts since it's really really really long one filled with feels to conclude the Christmas Date (I hope you don't skip anything!) and oh, you're gonna love the surprises!)
Ayane's POV
"Well, here we are." I said as we stood in front of a meek shop.
We walked for a couple of minutes to get to the piercing parlor.
The past days I was searching for establishments where I can get pierced since I really wanted to have a new one. Thankfully I was succesful in discovering this place. I'm also surprised that Sendoh bought me studs.
Wait.... maybe I could persuade him to get pierced tonight?
Sendoh lifted his head while studying the neon signs attached to the facade of the shop. Then he looked at me.
"Ayane, are you sure you really want to pierce your ear right now?"

"Eh?"
"Won't you get hurt?"
"Yeah, it'll hurt a bit..." I said, scratching my temple, "...but I really want to wear the studs you gave me." I emphasised my stress on the word want.
He pursed his lips, brows knitting in contemplation.
"Are you scared for me?" I asked.
No answer.
"How painful would it be?" He asks.
"Just like an ant's bite." I brushed my hair behind my ear. "Here."
I pointed to the cartilage of my upper ear, and he gave me a searching look.
"This is where I want to get pierced."
He nods.
"It's called a helix piercing. Besides, if I wear the studs now I'm gonna have 7 piercings in total."
"Seven...."
"Yeah. Seven as in seven your jersey number." I smiled widely.
"Oh." He nodded slowly, trying his best to keep in a smile but let me tell you, he was blushing. Then I made him turn and I pushed his back to make him walk.
"Go on, Akira!! You should be the first one to come inside to see what it's like. Don't be afraid for me. It's not like you're the one getting pierced!"
He stopped his steps and turned to me on the last part of my sentence.
