He's not attracted to him, Kawamura thinks.

It's more a case of athletic admiration; one power player impressed by another. By his strength, his concentration, his deliberate, defined moves. By the fierce grip he has on his racquet, so tight there are marks left in the tape for days. By that brown skin, so much tanner than anybody else Kawamura has played.

Startled by the direction of his thoughts, Kawamura jerks his attention back to the match itself. As the person he is watching prepares to serve, their eyes meet. Kabaji gives a small wave, and Kawamura, hesitantly, waves back.
