FILL: Team Aoyagi Hajime/Teshima Junta, G
Koga Kimitaka does not envy Teshima Junta. He is happy to provide support, to gather supplies, to repair bikes, to stand in the background where there are no reporters' cameras or microphones or questions. He would love to ride, of course. He would love to be a part of the team on the road, to contribute more tangibly to the fight for the goal. But he can see the way Teshima's shoulders droop just the slightest bit when he doesn't think the underclassmen are looking, and he knows he could never take that sort of pressure.
From the side, Teshima doesn't really look like himself. The smile is there, as it always is, easy, charming, sincere -- it doesn't stop being sincere. It isn't forced. But it's tired. There are harsh angles to his face that weren't there the year before, and lines on his forehead and under his eyes that spoke of too much thinking, not enough rest. Koga knows that as a third year, this sort of aging is common -- he sees it in himself, when he catches his reflection sometimes -- but he thinks it's different in Teshima, who still smiles, in spite of it.
He sees the captain flick his eyes towards him briefly as he approaches, though Teshima doesn't turn to him immediately. He's reviewing the times for the day's race: pages and pages of data from all the teams and all their riders. Thinking too much.
"Get some rest, Kimitaka," Teshima says, as Koga comes up beside him to glance over the charts. "Thanks for all your help today."
Koga is still distracted by the sincerity, the gratefulness, the brief smile before the look of tired concentration returns. He didn't think such pleasantness would easily come from anyone else who has ridden a hundred hard kilometers that day and been blocked at every turn, every peak, every checkpoint. He doesn't understand Teshima. He doesn't envy him. But he respects him.
"You too, Junta," Koga says. He thinks he sounds a little bit sarcastic. He smiles, but doesn't feel like it's genuine enough. He wants to tell Teshima that he looks tired, that he isn't sure what the point of that would be. Of course he looks tired. He's sure he feels tired. Behind this shield of goodness and sheer determination is someone who is aching for rest, but Koga can't find the cracks in the exterior. He puts a hand on Teshima's shoulder, then turns to leave the tent.
Teshima is captain. Koga doesn't know that he lets his guard down around anyone on the team. And even though Koga's on the sidelines for the third year in a row, holding up water bottles and supplies and yelling -- he is still part of the team. At the tent flap, Koga turns to look back at his friend. Teshima doesn't look like he did the year before, doesn't look like he did before he was captain. But the truth is he still looks very much like himself. He was always meant to be captain, and so he was always meant to look like this: all smiles and a weariness beyond his years.
Koga does envy his strength.
