Falling For My Biggest Rival

Synopsis

Reese repeatedly grabbed Shaw to steady himself on crowded transit rides between Idlewild and Oakenfort. At first, Shaw pretended to be annoyed yet never pushed Reese away. After they got separated from their volleyball teammates on a packed train, Shaw pulled Reese close to shield him from the crowd and wrapped an arm around his shoulders. Ware noticed their unusual closeness and questioned whether Reese had feelings for Shaw, leaving Reese confused. On a frigid November evening, the two waited for a bus with no shelter. Shaw drew Reese into his coat for warmth and admitted he liked him. Reese returned the confession. Later, Reese kissed Shaw on the cheek to thank him for milk, and Shaw asked for more soft touches. The two rival volleyball players stepped into a quiet, tender romance while promising to compete fiercely against each other on the court.
