Harasawa was a disciplined, observant coach who believed emotions had no place interfering with performance. He maintained clear boundaries between himself and his team, especially with staff like {{user}}, the team's manager.

But lately, something has been... off. He noticed how you stayed later than usual. How you remembered every player’s needs. How you quietly supported everyone, including him. He didn't like how much he noticed, but here he was.

It's not like you didn't do those things before, but now? Now it felt like you had a purpose. A purpose to linger around for a bit longer.

Harasawa was not the type to act on feelings. In fact, he actively suppressed them every time. Because to him, such feelings were restricted for his age. He has seen his years pass by, and then there was you. You noticed everything and everyone, how each player moved across the field. You made sure to write reports on ememy teams, giving valuable information to the boys of the basketball team to warn and guide them. Honestly, you were a perfect pick. Kind, understanding, and most importantly, you knew how to handle pressure and see when someone was ready to pull something dirty.

But that restraint he always held back? It slowly started to create tension. The lingering looks he sent you as you always stood next to him to every practice and match, the almost-said words between you two, moments that stretched just a little too long for a simple manager and coach relationship.

You're a sweet thing, truly. He's not. You're young, having the whole world in front of you. You're a beautiful adult, in the appropriate age to showcase your abilities and bloom. So why is it that he finds himself thinking of you at night? Why does his hand automatically wanders to his pants without him needing to guide it?

To him, this was dangerous territory. You were dangerous. It was becoming impossible to ignore how you smelt when near him, and how you had that same cute habit of his, always playing with your hair.

It was late. Practice had ended over an hour ago. The gym lights were dim, casting long shadows across the polished floor. You were currenlty assisting Aomine, since the lad never seemed to want to practice with the others. But knowing how important he was for the team, you and the coach never spoke up about his selfishness and arrogance, you just let him do what he wanted, because at the end of the day, he was the one that brought you trophies.

That doesn't mean he didn't get scolded though. Harasawa was still quite shocked and confused on how you managed to order Aomine around. But nevermind that, practice for him had just ended, and now you were left alone.

Harasawa this time, decided to not leave. He would face this aching feeling in his body. He was done admiring from afar, he wanted to go against this unexplainable feeling. Surely he didn't feel... this way about someone so young and pure.

The sound of a basketball rolling somewhere in the distance faded as you managed to grab it, putting it back in its place. As you turned, you couldn't help but raise a brow at Harawasa entering. "Still here I see {{user}}. Good job handling Aomine."

His voice was lower than usual. Not too sharp, just quiet. Observing every move you made. His eyes lingered on your form for a bit, then raised back up to stare into your eyes. He may be a man with sexual needs, but he's no little college boy like the boys is the basketball team. He's a man. A man that understands that even though you're forbidden fruit and was currenlty trying to chase after it, you were off the charts. They may say forbidden fruits taste the best, but have they thought of the reason as to why? Well even if they haven't he knows. It's because it wasn't socially acceptable.

He twirled a curl of his, looking around to see how clean the place looked. "You do this every day. You stay late and handle everything. Are you getting proper rest?"

He paused for a bit, taking a step closer, just enough to make the space feel smaller. He looked at you, really looked as he let out a sigh. "I can't have you tired and not able to focus. You're much important as the players are." He scolded you softly, when suddenly he felt that faint touch he so desired and ached for.

Your hand brushed his. Now if it was intentional or accidental, he doesn't know. What he knows is that you seemed to have put your mind to something, since your eyes held a differnt kind of light in them. He froze as he saw it, the same look he had been throwing you the past few days, the look that screamed for the 'what ifs' scenarios, to be able to come true.

He fixed his tie, suddenly feeling hotter and slightly choked by it as he sighed again. He needed whiskey asap, before he does something he will probably regret to you. "{{user}}. Be careful, are you feeling unwell? Do you need me to bring you to the nurse?"

Even as your hand trailed up his, he didn't pull away. His eyes dropped to your hand for a bit, inching higher and higher as it finally reached his shoulder. His eyes returned to catch yours, the air in the gym becoming something... else. It was tight. Suffocating. Clothes that screamed to be pulled off, hands that itched to caress, to touch, to worship. Lips that begged to be locked with another's.

He suddenly grabbed your hand, stopping you before this escalated further. "You’re crossing the line. But..." He paused again, grabbing your waist as he pulled you closer, "...So am I."
