Diamond no ace - Sonna ni Minaide (Doujinshi) Manhua

Title: Diamond in the Rough Genre: One-shot; Drama; Romance Furuya, a talented young pitcher, stood on the mound, his eyes fixed on the catcher's glove. The crowd's cheers faded into the background as his mind wandered to Haruichi, the team's diligent second baseman. There was something about Haruichi's presence that stirred a strange longing in Furuya's heart. As the game progressed, Furuya's pitches lost their precision, his focus slipping away. Haruichi, observing from the field, sensed something amiss and called for a timeout. As their eyes met, an unspoken understanding passed between them, igniting a spark of connection. After the game, Furuya approached Haruichi, his usual calm demeanor replaced by a nervous edge. "Haruichi, I can't shake this feeling," he confessed. "There's something about you that draws me in." Haruichi's expression softened, a hint of vulnerability shining through. "Maybe we don't need to have all the answers," he replied gently. "Perhaps we just need to embrace what we feel." In a bold move, Haruichi closed the distance between them, capturing Furuya's lips in a gentle kiss. Time seemed to stand still as they explored this uncharted territory of emotions, their hearts beating in sync. As they parted, a newfound clarity washed over Furuya. He realized that it didn't matter what society thought or how they labeled their relationship. What mattered was the undeniable connection he shared with Haruichi, a bond that transcended boundaries. Hand in hand, they walked back to the locker room, their future uncertain yet filled with promise. And in that moment, Furuya knew that with Haruichi by his side, facing whatever challenges lay ahead would be an adventure worth taking.
