Tension in the Silence ( Ushijima Wakatoshi x Reader)

Y/N L/N, a world-renowned physical therapist, is sent to Japan for a year-long assignment to help a new, high-profile client recover from a career-threatening injury. But when she discovers that her patient is none other than Ushijima Wakatoshi, the legendary captain of the Schweiden Adlers, her carefully constructed world begins to unravel. Ushijima is a man of few words, a towering figure both on and off the court, and his stoic demeanor leaves little room for emotion-until Y/N enters his life.

As they spend more time together, a quiet tension forms between them, growing more undeniable with each passing day. The attraction is mutual, but the lines between patient and therapist are clear-and yet, their hearts beat to a different rhythm. With the clock ticking down on her time in Japan, both are left to wonder: Who will take the first step toward confessing the unspoken feelings that have taken root, and who will be left to mourn what could have been?

In a world where love is both a blessing and a betrayal, Tension in the Silence is a sweeping romance about passion, restraint, and the impossible choices that come with loving someone you shouldn't. Will their love remain a beautiful secret, or will they risk everything for a chance at happiness?
