Though he noticed someone closing on him, Hiro couldn't tell who it was. He could palpably feel a presence drawing closer to him.
The atmosphere inside the locker room was rather lively, filled with the chatters of the individuals participating in the match. From their tone of speech and their gestures, Hiro could tell that they weren't worried about the match.
They appeared to be much more relaxed than him.
"Sigh~" Hiro let out a sigh. 'Why am so anxious?'
Halting before Hiro, Alvarez began, "Nervous?"
Hiro rolled his eyes to look at him. He could recognize him immediately from the tone of his voice. Upon rolling his eyes, he found Alvarez staring at him. Those gazes were filled with warmth as if he truly cared for him.
"A little," Hiro replied sincerely.
For some reason, he didn't want to hide his emotions.
