as we know, kiyoko ran track in high school, but there were for sure a few others who did. 

- hinata ran cross country his first year because he didn’t make the volleyball team. 

- asahi, aran, yaku, and iwaizumi did field sports to have something to do in the off-season.

An Olympic Confession🥰

The Paris 2024 Olympics had been the biggest stage of your life. You’d just come off the track after winning gold in the 200-meter final, your legs still burning from the sprint. The adrenaline was still coursing through your veins as you stood on the podium, soaking in the cheers of the crowd, but what truly made your heart race wasn't just the victory—it was knowing Halle Bailey had been watching in the stands.

Halle had been texting you throughout the games, offering encouragement and support, but it was more than just friendship. There was something between you, something neither of you had fully admitted out loud yet. At least, not until now.

The post-race press conference was buzzing with excitement. Journalists from all over the world were eager to ask you questions about your race, your training, and what it felt like to win gold.

You were fielding questions, answering them with your usual grace, until one reporter asked something that threw you off balance.

"First of all, congratulations on the gold medal!" the reporter began. "Now that the Olympics are over, what’s next for you? Do you have any plans to celebrate? Maybe with someone special?"

Your heart skipped a beat, and before you could stop yourself, your mind went straight to Halle. She had sent you a message earlier: "Can’t wait to see you after the race. I’m so proud of you!" Her support meant the world to you, but in that moment, your brain was running on pure exhaustion and excitement.

"Uh, yeah…" You fumbled with the microphone, laughing nervously. "I actually have someone special in mind. Halle Bailey… Yeah, I mean, she’s…"

The room went dead silent.

You froze, realizing what you had just said. A mix of gasps and laughter broke out from the reporters, and you could feel your face burning as cameras flashed in your direction.

"Wait," another reporter interrupted, clearly intrigued. "Halle Bailey? Are you saying you’re dating the singer and actress?"

You blinked, realizing there was no going back now. You hadn’t meant to say it like this—definitely not in front of the world. But it was out, and part of you felt a strange sense of relief.

"Well…" you started slowly, nervously running your hand through your hair. "We’re not officially dating… but I, uh, I really like her. Like, a lot. She’s been there for me during the games, and I guess I just let that slip."

The room erupted in chatter as the reporters jotted down every word. They were eating it up. You’d just accidentally confessed your feelings for Halle Bailey in a post-Olympic press conference.

One of the reporters grinned, leaning in. "So, do you think she feels the same way?"

You chuckled nervously, shaking your head. "I have no idea. I guess we’ll see after this."

After the press conference, you were both mortified and relieved. You had no idea how Halle was going to react, but you had just bared your feelings for the whole world to see. As you stepped away from the cameras and interviews, your phone buzzed in your pocket.

It was a message from Halle: "So… I just saw the press conference. 😊"

Your stomach dropped. You quickly typed back: "I’m so sorry, that wasn’t how I wanted to tell you…"

Moments later, your phone buzzed again. "Don’t apologize. I’ve been waiting for you to say something. Dinner after this? 💖"

Your heart leaped. You couldn’t believe it—Halle felt the same way. The whole awkward confession had somehow turned out in your favor.

Absolutely. I’ll see you soon, you replied, a huge smile on your face.

Later that evening, you met Halle at a quiet restaurant in Paris, away from the chaos of the media. When you walked in and saw her standing there, her smile lit up the room.

"You know," she said, greeting you with a hug, "I didn’t expect to find out how you felt during a live press conference in front of the whole world, but I’m glad you did."

You laughed, still a little embarrassed. "Yeah, that wasn’t exactly the plan. But I’m really glad you saw it."

"Me too," she said softly, her hand brushing against yours. "And just so you know, I feel the same way."

The rest of the night was a blur of laughter and easy conversation, the weight of your accidental confession lifting as the two of you finally admitted what you had both been feeling all along. As you walked through the streets of Paris with Halle, hand in hand, you realized that this might just be the best thing to come out of your Olympic experience—gold medal and all.
