Osamu lets him go. ⧠Word Count: 1,696 ⧠Cross-posted from Archive of Our Own ⧠Original post date: 2 October 2024
The Miya household consisted of one woman in her early thirties and two twin boys, aged sixteen as of October, cramped into a two-bedroom trailer in the deep countryside. The size of their abode meant that constant noise was able to be heard from all available corners, mostly coming from the twinsâ tumultuous bickering and the small cable television their mother loathed to shut off as it provided news updates, the weather, and her favorite true crime programs. Thereâs barely enough room to exist most days, much less cook, dance, and have rowdy fights that end up knocking over a lamp or two, but they manage all the same.
Now the Miya household is down to one mother and one son. The home expands as wide as the endless paddy fields west of the trailer park, and it takes twice as long to reach one end of the house from the other than it does to travel that half-mile distance to the rice farm.Â
The only noise Osamu can hear is his own breathing, shallow and ragged yet barely audible all the same. His lungs freeze and thaw every second, and he wonders what would happen if his lungs failed to melt. The fantasy of his chest stilling and organs collapsing dissolves into the stale, heavy air as his nose continues to push air in and out of his body despite the crippling silence of the place heâs supposed to call home.
The bunk bed above his is empty. Osamu stares at the black wired bottom of the top bunk as though it will somehow magically bring his brother back. He counts in his head to ten, emits a cough that echoes like a bomb in his shared bedroom, and anticipates his brother to lean over the wooden railing to make a scathing comment at Osamuâs expense.
Nothing. Of course, there is nothing. He does this time and time again every day, repeating the action like a broken clock attempting to move forward but is forced to tick back into the place it was a second before.
A sound cuts through his fogging mind and sightless eyes, scaring him into an upright position and almost cracking his head on the top bunk. His brotherâs name is already forming on his lips, a desperate plea and hope that heâd begun to leave behind.
Butâ
âOsamu, please help me.â
His mother, from the living room, a thousand miles away.
Osamu has lost weight, he knows. He hasnât been to school, cooked, or played volleyball in a month. He rarely makes the daring journey out of his bedroom into the hallways, finding the trek to be more treacherous than a tightrope walk across a yawning ravine. Forcing himself off of his bed is hard enough as it is. The navy blue sheets and thin, threadbare mattress have curved to form a perfect mold around his body, leaving a perfect cast for him to settle into on the days when he, no matter how hard he tries, cannot move and can hardly bear to breathe.
At his brotherâs predictable silence, Osamu calls with a rough, unused voice that cracks upon the first word, âIâm coming, Ma.â
He canât recall how he and his brother could reach the living room in two and a half leaps. It takes him twenty, thirty, forty shuffling steps. His socked feet barely make a sound against the ugly brown carpet, and he walks alone across deserts and oceans and hellfire to simply make it to the kitchen. From there, he can see his mother, standing in front of the mute, blank television. Laying on the floor by her feet are a thousand shards glimmering with the reflection of her grief-stricken face.
Kneeling in front of her is a boy vainly attempting to pick up the broken glass. His head snaps up when he hears Osamu approaching. The boy stands, grimaces thinly, and says, âOh, âSamu, thank God! Maâs been ignoring me! And she just knocked this glass all over the carpet, and I donât know why, but sheâs about to cry. Never seen this before. Think itâs an heirloom?â His gaze flickers back Ma. âPlease stop cryinâ, Ma. Iâm trying to help.â
The boy has a knife sticking out of his abdomen at the very end of a long, open wound across his stomach that explodes his pink entrails, and blood drips grotesquely from his lips. When he speaks, his mouth flashes thick, clotting maroon against pearly white teeth. The pale skin down his neck and arms are streaked in the same fluids.
The boyâs name is Atsumu, and Osamu knows this because they share the same face.
Osamu reaches the living room in three quick steps, the walls of the trailer suddenly shrinking in on all sides. He meets his motherâs red, puffy eyes, then squints at Atsumu who shrugs and points to the mess on the floor.
âIâm sorry. Iâm so sorry. I didnâtâ I didnât mean to,â his mother hiccups, one hand reaching up to cover her trembling lips. âI donât know how to fix this. I canât.â
He leans down, brushing his fingertips against the glass and carpet. Rough, sand-like particles stick to the pads, cling to the undersides of his nails, and leave ashy fingerprint marks on the clear shards.
âItâs okay, Ma. I promise,â Atsumu comforts, his voice soothing the rush flooding Osamuâs ears.
âHis urn is broken,â Osamu whispers. Itâs a shout, an ear-splitting scream with his brother standing next to him. The sounds of his brotherâs murder case play from the television in his mind so clearly he nearly convinces himself of its reality.
âWhose urn?â Atsumu gasps, his hand reaching out to touch Osamu but entirely falling through. Osamu tilts his head to look up at him. If Atsumu notices the way his entire form flickers, becoming transparent enough to see the black television behind him, he doesnât show it.
His mother cries more, and Atsumu tries to hug her by wrapping his arms around her shoulders, but she doesnât react. âWhat do we do?â
Osamu doesnât know.
The living room becomes brighter as a cloud moves out from under the sun, sending warm rays beaming across the floor and highlighting Atsumuâs ashes. Simultaneously, Atsumu becomes harder to see, as if the light itself is melting away his body.
His face is still clear, standing at a height that protects his head from the sun. The color of his lips is impossible to make out behind the heavy coating of his blood, and his yellow hair is tousled and matted with dried bits of flesh and gore.
Atsumu stares at him with hazel eyes that look terribly, horribly, sickeningly alive.
For the first time in a month, since the day the police knocked on their door with the devastating result of their search-and-rescue hunt for his missing brother, Osamu feels like he can breathe. He takes in the crisp filtered air, smelling the faint traces of his brotherâs scent from his spot on the ratty old couch. His throat cools and eases oxygen in and carbon dioxide out, as it was always meant to do.
âWe get the dirt devil vacuum,â he says. His chest tightens, squeezing around his heart as bile crawls up his throat. âGet all of the ashes out and into a new urn.â
Heâs killing Atsumu again, he knows. He knows it because Atsumu trembles, his head shaking and bright eyes betraying his hurt.
âYouâre ignoring me, too! Youâre both ignoring me! What did I do? Why are you doinâ this?â Atsumu cries. Despite the anger lacing his words like poison, Atsumuâs words lay over Osamu like a thick, warm blanket.
He missed his brother. He missed how he took up all of the space in a room, how he let his voice boom over everyone else regardless of the warnings heâd previously received. He missed his volatile personality that barely masked how much he cared for his family.
But his brother is gone.
Osamu covers his face with his hands and presses the heels harshly into his eyes, scattering thick black dots across his vision.Â
There is a knife sticking out of Atsumuâs ghost.
He ignores his brotherâs burning remarks shot at the back of his neck and picks out a blue plastic cup and napkin from the kitchen. While his mother sobs, he scrapes a large clump of the gray remains into the cup and covers it with the thin white napkin. He watches as Atsumu bleeds out from his view, slowly, like the blood coming from his mouth and flowing over his orange shirt. His faint outline remains, and his noises â formless, wordless sounds â are no louder than the shutter of the wind against the bushes that brush against the outside of the trailer.
Quietly, so quietly that only his brother could hear it, he leans in close to the cup, pressing his mouth against the napkin, and says, âI love you.â
Atsumu never would have made it across the ravines, oceans, deserts, and paddy fields that overtook the trailer. He would have wondered why Ma could never respond to him. He would eventually figure out that he couldnât touch anyone, couldnât feel their warmth, couldnât play volleyball, go to school, or do anything, really, ever again.
I love you, he said, because he loves his brother enough to let him leave the static television that doesnât run the news, weather, or crime channel anymore, and let him leave the house that kills all noise like a blackhole crushes all matter.
Osamu misses him more than anything.
He returns to his bottom bunk, later, after the cleaned dirt devil sucks up the remains and out into the blue plastic cup. He tapes the sides of the napkin to the cup with duct tape and sets it in his room for safekeeping. The mattress welcomes him back, the human mold folding over him and hugging him tightly.
When he breathes, he does so slowly. His lungs are raw from freezer burn, but they do not freeze, and they do not thaw.
He simply breathes, and the top bunk remains empty.

"samu,"
osamu rolls his eyes the moment you call out his name, while a grin spreads across your face as you throw yourself on the couch next to him. he knows your intentions and what you're about to say, because you've been pestering him about it for days. that damn dyson hair dryer.
osamu didnt think that he'd be one of the victims of what people call the equivalent of ps5 to women. hell, the social media really has a bad influence on his wife. last time something like this happened is when the internet going crazy about those stanley cups, and it rubbed off on you too unfortunately. "sooo... i've been thinking..." you say, trailing off as you trace circles on osamu's chest. "thinkin' about what, exactly?" he inquires, already aware of the unspoken conclusion in your words.
"you know, maybe... if we should get a hair dryer. i mean, wouldnt our life be better with it? like, its a beneficial stuff," you say, avoiding eye contact with osamu, making him chuckles at your act. "enlighten me," he prompts, with a smirk on his face as he leans back on the couch and rests his head on his hands. he felt amused seeing that stupidly cute pout on your face as he waits for you to whine about that hair dryer you've been wanting.
unbeknownst to you, osamu would buy you the whole world if he can. he'd get you anything you wanted, because he gets to see you happy and show his love to you by spoiling you. so, it quite goes unnoticed when a notification pops up on his phone screen, informing that the dyson hair dryer he ordered few days ago will be delivered today.

Grey (Pt. 1)
Content: Miya Atsumu is a bully, and his fangirls are even worse. They make your life at school a hell.
Trigger Warnings: Verbal + physical bullying, language
Word count: 7.29k
PART 2, PART 3
The bell rings and you grab your books to sprint off. Frantically you open your locker, and as you do, a white crumpled-up paper falls at your feet. You open it and find angry scribbled words, all ranging from âLoser!â to âGet lost!â and âYou're pathetic.â Exhaling a sigh, you place the books into the overhead space and grab the others.Â
This all started a week and a half ago.
You had been in class and the exhaustion was creeping up into your mind. It was the last hour, the sun was lowering, it looked to be a moody day, and you could only hear the teacher every other time she spoke. This time she was chewing out Miya Atsumu over a wrong answer which then turned into a long lecture.Â
All you could think at the time was huh, guess he only had one skill, and that was just wooing pathetic girls over.Â
The class went silent for a bit, and you exhaled a sigh, turning to the main board, only to see Atsumu and what felt to be every woman in the class glaring at you so strongly it could pierce.Â
You froze, sputtering a âs-sorryâŚâ as you bowed your head. Ever since then, you could feel a heavy shadow looming at your back.Â
It was just a fleeting thought, you didnât mean it negatively. Well, maybe you did. You werenât sure anymore, but you donât think you deserved this sort of treatment for such a stupid comment.Â
Every other girl you passed shot you a look like you were nothing but dirt beneath their feet, even a few men.Â
Was the whole world on his side?Â
You cradle your books to your chest as Atsumu begins to walk down the same hallway. Look down. Just look down and nothing will happen. He turns his head to look at you as you pass, and you can feel your breath stuck in your throat. Yet as you manage past him, nothing happens. Relief instantly follows. You were going to be all right, nothing big was going to happen. It was just a stupid little comment. Soon it will all be forgotten.Â
Suddenly an obstacle blocks your foot as you absentmindedly walk. You stumble and almost fall face-first into the floor. The books in your hands drop, and luckily your free hands are there to brace you. Youâre on your knees, nose nearly kissing the floor as you feel a crowd pause to get a good look at you. They were snickering, and when you look up, Atsumuâs down the hall giggling, a terrible grin on his face. There's a woman in front of you, the one who presumably tripped you, laughing. You sheepishly go to grab one of the books and she kicks it to the side.Â
You can get through this, this was nothing. You were sure of it.Â
It's even worse when you remember that Miya Atsumu is one of the best volleyball players ever. Of course, you on the other hand, on the girl's volleyball team, are the complete opposite. Although your team was nice, they didn't talk to you much. One of the middle blockers, Angie, was giving you side eyes and little glares whenever you missed a receive. When another spike came, you dove and missed by a few inches.Â
"Sorry guys.." You exhale a disappointed sigh and the ones on the other side of the net are the only ones smiling at you.Â
 "No worry Y/n! Maybe it's just not your day. That's okay, it happens!" Lucy shouts with a grin, giving you a quick thumbs up. You muster a begrudging nod.Â
Angie harrumphs with her hands on her waist, scanning you. "And you have the nerve to judge an all-Japan camp candidate when you can't even get one receive as our libero." You frown and cast a glare on the floor.Â
Lucy huffs on the flipside. "Stop it, Angie, we all know he's good, there's no need to shove it in our faces. The point is, he's not here, and he's definitely not going to be watching you, so move on." She gasps, and the other girls can't help but snicker. You're too exhausted to even pay attention to the conversation.
Your hands are on your knees while you desperately catch your breath.Â
"Inarizaki has no place for weak players." A quiet but stern woman speaks. Miyu. Her palm is holding the ball you failed to receive.Â
Lucy holds her hands up and waves them around anxiously, attempting to ease everyone. "Everyone has off days. let's not bully her about it."
Angie visibly rolls her eyes. "She's been having off days for like 2 weeks straight now."Â
Lucy opens her mouth to probably defend you with another sentence you don't deserve, so you just speak.
"I'm sorry, I will do better."Â
No one responds as you bow, but you can feel the irritation lingering in the atmosphere.Â
After practice is finished and all the girls leave, Lucy meets you outside the entrance. She has this sort of pitiful look that sinks your stomach.Â
"Hey.. listen, (Y/n).." she nervously trails. You had a feeling this was going a certain somewhere.Â
"The other girls seem to be complaining a bit about your performance lately.. and you know⌠I don't want to do this but.. the coach thinks.." She's fidgeting, struggling to come up with the right words.Â
You're pouting, tears pricking your eyes. "You're cutting me off..?" Your words leave in a choked whisper.Â
"No! No.. well⌠you might be⌠but! You arenât yet. You can still prove him wrong..âÂ
She sighs, and her hand gently holds your arm.Â
"Listen⌠I know you're going through some things right now. So just take your time. "She pauses, then looks at you pitifully. "Hey.. maybe if it happens.. it won't be necessarily the worst thing right now. Maybe you might even need it." She is coming from a good place, but you're hurt.Â
You fail to respond and that helpless look appears again.Â
âIâm sorry (Y/n)..â
You're striving to keep your expression as blank as could be as you nod. âThanks for letting me know.â You turn fast, hoping she won't continue anymore. You just wanted to go home now.
Though, when you leave the gymnasium, you hear the boyâs side practicing. They're always extremely intense, and many times their practice runs late. You had an urge, and you decided to follow it.
Mustering up all the courage, you go inside, up to the second floor as quietly as possible while they play. Two squealing girls are already watching, too captured by the scene to care about you. Atsumiâs twin brother Osamu was there. Admittedly, they were an impressive duo. You didn't have to be good at volleyball to see that.Â
Osamu had a serene sort of confidence, while Atsumu.. well, he looked like the type to do a dump shot just to be petty because he knew he could.
You hated to say his sets were beautiful, perfect even.Â
Michinari, the teamâs libero, receives almost every volleyball that flows his way. Even if the serve was a floater, a jump spike, or a simple one. It was impressive, and you aim to study his movements.
The way he holds his arms, the way he moves, his focus, everything you didn't do. The whistle blows and they get back into position, and you meet eyes with none other than the blonde twin who is currently serving. He raises his brow, his cocky face almost disgustingly amused. You glimpse far away to avoid him. Itâs not like you came for him anyway, god, you hope he didnât think that.Â
The whistle blows and he walks up 6 steps, jumps, and hits a powerful serve that Michinari almost wasn't able to bump.
âNice receive!â
Michinari calls out, âBit short, sorry!âÂ
Atsumi touches the ball, and you're confused. He canât set it now. Why would he do that?Â
Osamu is the one who jumps and sets the ball to Atsumi who runs to a side with no blockers and does an insane quick you've never seen before. The impact alone has the sound bouncing off the walls.Â
âAhhhh! God, theyâre so cool!!!â The girls go crazy beside you.Â
You hum to yourself.
You've seen enough. Besides you didn't want to be anywhere near one of the twins, so you left as quietly as you came. The gym was empty now, the girls were gone and you could practice without judgment.Â
You bounce the volleyball on the wall and attempt to receive it. Still, even with it being much slower than the average serve or spike, you were slightly off. Huffing, you bounce it against the wall and it comes to you, you were sure you got it this time. Your arms attempt to tap it, but it awkwardly hits your neck and topples over.Â
Maybe it was your position, either you were too close or too far. First, you try stepping a bit back and you serve into the wall. It comes at you fast, and you feel as if you could see it in slow motion. It was perfect, you were going to hit- it flies over your head and you're dumbfounded.
Okay, closer. Farther wasn't right.Â
This time you run to where the ball is headed, and right when it's about to come to you, you position your arms perfectly just for it to hit your knee. The next time it hits you in your groin and you grumble beneath your breath.Â
One more time.Â
You serve to the wall and it powerfully bounces off. You were ready. You could do this. Just position. The anticipation rises, and you sidestep the way it moves. A large grin stretches, you got it!Â
Your finger just barely graces the ball, but it sends it flying a few inches high and it hits your shoulder.
Michinari. Remember.Â
Remember the way he stands, the way he moves, the way he reads its direction.Â
Your arms attempt to replicate his, and your knees bend just a little.Â
One of the volleyballs hits the side of your head, but you did touch it, so that was progress.
It makes you smile.Â
Sure, you got knocked into the chest almost every other time, but all that mattered was after the 30th try, your arm made contact again.
The ball lifts only a few inches above your arms before it slaps you on the head and splats to the ground. It travels close to the other dozen that lay around the gym. You're groaning as another flies past you.Â
Another serve, you could do it, just one more. You push it and it slams against the wall, rebounding your way. Perfect! Getting into position, your concentration narrows as it comes to you. A forceful impact meets your knee.Â
You lift the ball and slam it with your palm. It was so fast you could barely keep up with it, and you were a second off from receiving it before it wacks your neck. Coughing out at the impact, you huff and try again. Just keep your arms down, donât waver every time you see the ball coming towards you.Â
It was slow, but it flew your way, and you remained patient. Just get the timing down, not too early, not too late. Now!
You bump the ball perfectly into the air and gasp at the contact. You could do it! You could finally do it! Your eyes remain on it, waiting for it to come back down, a massive grin on your face.Â
"You're doing it wrong." A voice interrupts your concentration and the ball slams into your face.Â
"Ow.." you rub your nose, whining. The ball thuds against the floor.
When you eventually look up to the cause of your lost focus, you instinctively step back. Atsumu is there, sweat dripping down his skin after a long practice, eyes judging you.
You don't speak, and you can't even meet his gaze for more than a second.
He steps to the bin and grabs a volleyball. He does a quick normal serve against the wall, and it bounces to him in a split second. He positions his arms and receives it perfectly. You glue onto the way it cascades so beautifully. Â
He studies your look, amused at the ignorance.
"Bend your knees like this." He does the motion and you falter before hesitantly mirroring.Â
"No. lower." You do it and glance at him for approval. "Arms like this. This side showing more than the back."Â
He gets into a normal stance to throw the ball above your arms. You keep your arms together as you receive it, and although it wasn't very high, you couldn't help the happiness that befell on you. That was so much easier than all the other times.Â
Atsumu humorlessly chuckles "To think you're on the volleyball team and you don't know this." Your view averts, arms cradling the ball you just bumped like a trophy.Â
No matter the insult, you sucked up your pride.
You mumble a "thanks.." and he scoffs. Â
âYeah, Iâm going.â He starts walking to the door and you nod.
âOkay.."
Today was a rough day, but tomorrow will be better, you repeat this continuously as a sort of mantra when you get home. Â
Your parents greet you happily and there is a warm meal on the table. You slip your shoes off before stepping into the kitchen. "We got one of your favorites!" Your mother chirps.
You can barely fake a smile. Most days this would make you happy enough to forget everything that occurred in the school day, but not this time. The happy grins fall and they become worried.Â
Great, look what you did.Â
"Is something wrong (Y/n)?" Â
You swiftly shake your head at the tone. A smile spreads your lips wide, maybe a bit too forcefully. You sold that fake happiness by rushing to sit at the table.
"No, nothing serious. I was just a bit annoyed from practice today. I couldn't receive at all." Your dad raises a confused brow as he attempts to remember what receiving is.
"It's when you catch the ball, you know, like this-" you angle your arms down and put your hands together. He makes an o with his mouth and nods.Â
"Everyone has their days." Your mother is as optimistic as Lucy.Â
You share thanks and dig in.Â
"Even candidates for that All Japan youth camp have their days you know, and they're the same age as you, so there's still a lot of growth there." You're silent, and you set your chopsticks down. There's a big inevitable frown plastered on your face. You knew it meant to cheer you but to think of Atsumu and how talented he was after you insulted him and him helping you learn basics you should already know.
"Yeah, you're right."Â
Your mood drops significantly. They give each other a side-eye.
When you're done you clean your dishes and head to your room. Wrapping the blankets around you in a sort of burrito you sigh as a few tears slip down your cheeks. You wish you hadn't said that.Â
Back to another miserable panic-inducing day.Â
Before class, you open your locker to now see two notes falling to your feet. You stop and stare while some girls giggle maniacally behind you. Sighing, you pick them up, crumbling the paper beneath your fingertips. Grabbing your books, you head to class and ignore how it feels like all eyes are on you when you pace.
"Look, it's the libero who can't even receive a ball." Someone starts the moment you walk in. Frowning, you hold your bag tighter as Atsumu's eyes glue to you, a smirk dawning on his expression.Â
"She-"
His words are interrupted by a shy woman who is holding a cute pink-wrapped box in her hands. A blush dusts her cheeks, and she crosses her legs. "I-I.. made this for you Atsumu⌠I-" An eek leaves her as Atsumu scowls hard, an expression that could terrify just about anyone. Class starts and she nervously bolts to her seat. Â
You never liked long lectures or busy classwork, yet now you've learned to appreciate it. This was the only peace you'd get until you had to traverse the hallways or go to practice. You should just feign sickness, it's not like they'd miss your presence anyway.Â
For lunch, you typically sit outside on one of the benches in the shade. You liked being here lately. It was nice, and when the wind rustled the trees nearby, the sound would calm you.
You lean against the bench and sigh, placing your bento atop your lap. You undo the cute little cat wrap your mom gave you. It did cheer you up a bit. You open up the box to see your favorite. You smile sweetly. Â
"Look who it is, little miss (Y/n)" A sudden catty voice alerts you.Â
Panic rises, and you shift your view to the sound. A group of girls known as the cheering squad for the boyâs volleyball team are walking toward you.
They have angry expressions, and their hips jut to the side as they near.
"So, what do you have to say for yourself?" The "main" woman in front, named Kiyoko speaks to you like some dog. You tilt your head, anxious and confused. What was the right answer here?Â
You shouldn't be scared, you wanted so desperately not to be, but instead, you're cowering under their scowls, holding your lunch tighter to you.
"For what..?" You genuinely ask.
They growl like mutts, and suddenly the open box in your hands is viciously yanked from you. Before you can register what was happening food began dripping down your hair, a weight on your scalp tumbling.Â
"Did that jog your memory?"Â
You're quiet, and your teeth grit against one another, hands bawled into fists. Don't say it. Don't say it.Â
"I'm sorry." You whisper.
A thick sauce drips down your hair.Â
Kiyoko leans down, cupping her ear. "What was that? I couldn't hear you." You suck in a sharp breath.Â
"Aw look she's going to cry." A voice in the group erupts.Â
"Whose pathetic now?" Â
They giggle together, and your knuckles turn white.Â
You speak louder. "I'm sorry."Â
"That's what I thought." She pats your cheek condescendingly. "Have fun cleaning that up."Â
They leave as quickly as they came, and you dissociate as they laugh horridly while walking. Food begins to fall onto your jacket. If you didn't clean it up now, you would just be more of a laughing stock later.
A gust of wind flows, and the tree sways. Yet not even that makes you feel at peace right now.Â
Water runs down your neck as you're in the bathroom, attempting to scrub the smell of curry out of your hair. The stickiness is hard to get out, and your scalp looks like some mangled mess. You pool warm water into your hands and splash it over the grains of rice that are glued together. It takes pretty much the entire lunch period until you get it all out.Â
Luckily you have your volleyball jacket in your locker that you can swap out for the other. Fortunately, because it's a little oversized, it falls at your sides, just enough to cover the splotches of stains on your skirt. Â
The teacher furrows her brow at you when you walk into the deafened room. "(Y/n).. you're la-.. why are you wet?"Â Your hair is drenched and tangled as you walk to your seat. The girls who know what happened are snorting to themselves.Â
"I fell into the lake." It was a stupid excuse but it was enough for the teacher to awkwardly continue with the lesson. That was until a loud laugh cuts the tense atmosphere.
The teacher sighs, âYes, Atsumu, do you have a question?" You turn to the sight. At the opposite end of the class, there he is, poorly stifling a laugh.
Atsumu is chortling as he talks. "I guess not even that can wash away your horrid smell." The girls in the class laugh a little too hard at that.
"Enough. I didn't want to start it now, but since you two have a problem, you will be assigned together for the new project coming up. You will work together and makeup, whether you like it or not. I will not tolerate unkindness in my classroom. I don't want to hear any ifs or buts." The teacher calms before continuing. "Now, make sure you all listen up, I will now say the rest of the assigned partners."Â
You meet Atsumu's instant cold glare and your eyes widen in fear. A jolt of anxiety rushes to your stomach. You feel sick.
"Now, we will use the rest of this time today and tomorrow to come up with a plan. You should be about halfway done at that point. This is due next Tuesday. Do whatever you need to do outside of the time, go to the library, discuss outside of school, meet up, exchange emails, whatever, but you will only have these 2 days in class to work on this." Great, a worse sentence couldn't have been said when your partner was Atsumu of all people.
The teacher gives you and Atsumu a firm look. "Do I make myself clear?" He's annoyed, you're terrified, yet you both nod either way.Â
"Good, now disperse." She flicks her hand and everyone begins moving.Â
Most of the girls in the class, or all, including Kiyoko and her group, send you angry glances. It's not like you wanted to be paired with him either.Â
You're anchored in your seat, too scared to move. Would he come to you? Would you have to come to him?
Will you just not at all talk for these 2 days and do the work independently? Will you-
"Letâs get this over with." Atsumu has his hands in his pockets, his eyes refusing to look at yours. You nervously clear your throat.Â
"R-Right.."Â
It's a bit begrudging, but he sits near you and starts to work in his notebook. You do the same, occasionally not aiding the way you're examining his hand move so efficiently. He even had pleasant handwriting.
He doesn't glimpse your way, but you can tell he's getting peeved. âAre you going to keep looking, or are you going to work?"Â You swiftly avert, awkwardly beginning to mimic the speed at which he writes. Your hands are shaking but you become so adamant you can't even focus on the way there are stares and whispers behind you.Â
"Does she even shower, why does she smell like that?"
"She's such a loser."Â
"Did you hear she can barely even receive the ball?"
"As the libero too, it's literally her job. Talk about lame. The audience would probably cheer if she got switched out."
"Seriously, I donât even know why she's the main one, the other one is so much better."Â
Atsumu side-eyes you for a second, then goes back to his writing.
The bell rings, and your focus ultimately gets cut off when he begins packing. You mutter an oh and do the same.
You're getting dreary thinking about going to practice now. Your stomach grumbles and you hold it. Maybe you could go to the vending machine, the one with milk and protein drinks so you can get some energy.
Yeah, with what money?Â
Rushing into the hallway, you ignore how Atsumu is still standing outside until he calls you.
âHey (Y/n).â Atsumu sing songs eerily, and you halt, fear swarming inside you.Â
He wouldnât do anything to you like the girls would right? You could deal with a few prissy ladies shoving you to the side, tripping you, and grabbing your lunch, but him?Â
You timidly rotate his way and he's holding that usual pompous sneer.Â
His tone is sadistic and light. âI heard you might get kicked off the team, what a shame.âÂ
Small tears brew in your eyes at the mention, fingers bawling into a tight white-knuckled fist.Â
âOh? Did I strike a nerve? But really, I think itâs a relief, donât you?â He continues, âI couldnât imagine getting kicked off my own team."Â
Atsumu snickers and his orbs quickly darken. "But that would never happen, because Iâm more than just a guy who can swoon a few pathetic girls over you know. You though.." He fakes a pondering gesture. "I wonder. Are there any skills you possess?"Â
There's a lump in your throat that you can't bear to swallow and he chuckles. "Right. That's what I thought."Â He turns to leave.
âWell, at least the female side wonât have to be ashamed anymore.âÂ
Tears meet your cheek. An inevitable sniffle escapes when the tightness in your throat closes. You wish you could scream out how much of a jerk he was, but all you did was whirl around and run away.Â
A hand touches Atsumu's shoulder, pulling his focus away. âDonât you think that was a little mean?â Osamu is gazing at him seriously.Â
Atsumu scoffs. âAnyone who canât take the truth doesnât deserve to be playing a competitive sport, especially if they suck.âÂ
Osamu wacks his brotherâs head, and the blonde-haired twin growls, raising his fist to do the same.Â
The next day you smell like soy sauce.
Though, at least It was a lot easier to clean.
You rung your hair of water. Your hands press against the sides of the sink, and you gaze at yourself in the reflection. From staying up late crying, not eating breakfast in the morning because you had to rush out, to not being able to eat lunch, you're a mess. The bell rings and your expression darkens. Â
Maybe if you pretend you didn't hear it... Maybe if you went to sleep in the stall you could just rest for a bit.Â
The bell repeats its terrible tune.
You pat your face dry and force yourself to return. On this occasion, you're on time so no one would notice you. Or so you would've thought.Â
"Did you enjoy your lunch (Y/n)?" A girl speaks, a snarky trail at the end of her words. There is laughter amongst another little side posse. You turn to her, quiet, and staring.
She zips her lips and you go to your seat. Â
"What's her deal?"Â
"It was just a joke."Â
âYou know the whole ordeal. Everyone, get with your partners. This is the last day in class to talk with each other."Â
With that, everyone gets together and unfortunately, yours does too.Â
Atsumu is sighing as if completely forgetting the day before. âLetâs get this done, the last thing I want to do is meet up.âÂ
You nod and open your notebook. It's silent for a couple of minutes until one of you ruins it.Â
âWhy is your hair wet again?"Â
Atsumu raises a snide brow. "Go for another swim?"Â
"Yes."Â
He didn't expect that straightforward answer but still chuckles.Â
It doesnât get to you, and you keep writing. He appears amused that he wasn't managing to aggravate you. Youâre not surprised. This is Inarizaki, the school that tries to make other teams cheaply mess up by booing or playing loud music when they serve. Â
A moment passes and you tiredly declare, âIâm sure neither of us wants to talk to each other, so letâs just focus, then we wonât have to meet up later.â
He looks amused. âYouâre a lot of how I expected you to be.â You turn to him, and he shrugs.Â
âA teacherâs pet.âÂ
You frown, mumbling mainly to yourself, âI donât see anything wrong with that.â Atsumu chuckles.Â
âOf course, you donâtâÂ
You fixate on him, and his expression remains.
You just had to get this done, then he wouldnât be at your side bothering you any longer.Â
The time is ticking, and the last thing you want is to have to text him. Youâd rather take a 0 then do that.Â
Well, maybe not to that extreme, but you sure as hell didnât want to be in contact with him, or worse, have him come to your house.
He would have that annoying smug gleam as he sits at the table and makes conversation with your parents. Your mom would be so charmed, and sheâd be nice enough to make him dinner. Then heâd eat it and make dramatic gestures about how good it is, meanwhile, deep inside all he wants to do is probably throw it at you.
A shudder cascades just thinking of it.Â
The more time passes, the less confidence you have in finishing this project today. There was maybe a quarter left, and that wouldâve been fine if again⌠it wasnât a team job.
Maybe if he was doing his side, you wouldnât be in this predicament.Â
You're writing faster, while the pompous ass turns in his seat and starts cracking jokes with the pair behind him. If you could just finish these parts.
You just need to do a few more. Your breath catches in your throat the more you glance at the clock. With a few minutes left, there was surely no way you could finish. Albeit, if you give up now then it'd only prove that. You just have to keep writing and hope. Â
Anxiety is pacing your heart, and you're getting sloppier and sloppier the more you go. The laughs of the row behind you, the tick of the clock, the sound of your pulse expanding and expanding drags you to the edge.Â
The bell rings, signaling the end. You slump in your chair, defeated. Atsumu grins and grabs his bag, considering he didnât even take anything out, all he had to do was just get up and leave while you pack.Â
What a jerk. Â
Somehow, he still manages to take his sweet time, and he practically traps you in, making it irritatingly impossible to leave. You throw your bag around your shoulder and stuff your fingers in your pockets.
Your head hangs low as Osamu is at the door again, waiting for his obnoxious twin. You didnât know who was a little older, but god you hoped it was the grey-haired one.Â
"Hey." Atsumu starts, and your heart speeds up. This was going to be just like yesterday, wasn't it?
You nervously fixate on him. He's tall, much more than you remember, maybe around 180 cm.Â
"Give me your phone number."Â
You're taken aback, tilting your head confusedly.
"F-For.. what?" You blank and he impatiently glowers.Â
His voice is deep when annoyed. "What else for? The project."Â
You quickly nod. "R-Right.. sorry. It's um.." You nervously push your hands into your bag, struggling to find your phone. Most are already out of the classroom at this point and he's becoming more visibly impatient.Â
You feel it and immediately pull it out. Opening your contacts list, he yanks it out of your hand and starts typing. Once finished, he throws it at your desk and you fail to catch it as it slams against the wood. He casually turns to leave.Â
He suddenly rotates his head over his shoulder and gives you a sharp look. "You should quit volleyball," he says.
"Everyone has a job on the court and you can't fill yours, because you suck."Â
You're frowning again.
Osamu gives you a momentary glance before leaving. You're frozen in place, his words echoing in your head.Â
On Thursday, you feign sickness to stay home.
You wrap yourself in a burrito of blankets while you watch TV. At least at home, you can eat freely. You also won't hear mean gossip behind you. You're never absent anyway, so one day was easy. Just one day to yourself. One day without seeing either of the twinsâ faces. No fangirls, no volleyball team, no stress, just one peaceful weekday beneath the sheets.
You sleep until 10.Â
Although a bath sounds wonderful, it's refreshing to just walk downstairs with pajamas and messy untouched hair. âGood morning.â
You yawn, grab a cup, pour yourself orange juice, then sit down at the table. It was a nice day to eat breakfast together without any rush to be somewhere on time.Â
Rubbing your eyes, you set a plate down and stare at the empty chairs beside you. That's right. You're alone, your parents are off to work.Â
Once done whisking together a lovely omelet, you eat peacefully savoring every bit of silence. This was nice.Â
You can do anything today. Maybe even go to the market and get yourself a little desert. Milk bread, curry donut, strawberry shortcake, whatever. Your mouth waters at the thought.Â
Though rest sounds nicer still.Â
That project wasnât due till Tuesday, and it should take you about 2 days to complete alone, maybe 1 if you were going to meet up with Atsumu, but that wasnât going to happen.Â
Faceplanting into bed, you moan at the feeling of the bedsheets. They surround you like a heavenly cloud. Yes, this is what you needed, an escape into bliss.Â
You wake up again at 12.Â
Stretching wide, you exhale a yawn. A bath would do good now. Your hair probably wasnât completely free of food anyway.Â
You take off your shirt in front of the mirror, revealing a few bruises on your back, knees, and thighs. These most likely occurred when you fell to the floor a few times after being tripped. They're tender, but nothing too big. You didnât want to think of it now anyway.Â
The warm water envelops you and you draw out a whispered moan. You stay like that for who knows how long until you're aggressively scrubbing all the smells out of your hair. You lean against the rim, lids closing blissfully.Â
The next time you open your eyes you feel groggy. You don't know what time it is. Your fingers and toes are all soggy, and the water isnât hot anymore.
You drag yourself to bed after drying off, closing the door to seal the darkness in. A buzz vibrates your phone, and you pick it up, tiredly blinking at the brightness. It was probably your mom trying to see if you were okay.Â
âWhen do you want to finish the project?âÂ
Why would your mom text that?Â
You scroll to see the name Miya Atsumu, and you stare for what feels like a minute before finally gasping.
You didn't actually expect him to go for it and text.
What do you say? You begin typing, then stop, then start, then stop.
Tomorrow? The weekend? Monday? No day in reality makes a difference. You just don't want to work with him.
A part of you is relieved you wouldn't be doing the rest of the project alone, but another side is terrified at the idea. Â
You bite your lip and write âTomorrow..?"Â
Maybe that was too direct, maybe you shouldâve sent a "haha", or a "anytime that works for you."
What if heâs not available Friday? What if you just assumed? No no, it should be fine, he asked you, besides, it isnât going to be a hangout, just a quick 1-2 hour session of working.
You groan, your brain going into circles. The anxiety that fled you today begins revisiting in vicious waves. Youâre going to go to school tomorrow and heâd ask you the same question if you don't text back. You canât avoid him, nor the deadline. The girls will pick on you again, you wonât be able to have lunch, youâll be hungry, youâre about to be kicked off the volleyball team, everyone hates you, every-Â a notification makes you blink to reality.
Miya Atsumu: âSure. Time?âÂ
You let out a shaky exhale and type, âWhatever is fine with you.âÂ
Miya Atsumu: â6 pm, after practice.âÂ
6 pm?? That was a bit late.
Youâre about to type a denial until you remember that you're the one who said whatever is okay. You canât just complain now.Â
âSounds good.âÂ
He doesnât respond. A few minutes pass and youâre still staring at the screen. Fretfully you type, â.. where.?âÂ
A bubble pops up, then disappears. Youâre anxiously biting your lip, waiting. The bubble comes up again, jumping for a few seconds then going away. You hold your phone to your chest and groan, your other hand draping across your forehead. You hope itâs somewhere decent, really the scariest thing he can say is "My place."
A few tantalizing minutes pass and you hear a ding.
Miya Atsumu: "Wherever you want.âÂ
That response didn't settle your nerves at all. Why did you have to pick?Â
Hovering over the letters on your phone, you think hard.Â
Your place won't be as nerve-wracking as his, and besides itâd be weird if you text that anyway, like âHey letâs go to your house.â Not only would you just be dealing with him but a duplicate as well. (Though you heard Osamu was a bit nicer.) Still, they probably live in some fancy house with a beautiful mom who makes amazing food. If he comes to yours he'd probably be judgemental as it was nothing lavish.
Where else could you pick? The library? It's a lot more peaceful and less scary than your house. Here, you imagine him, arms crossed, judging your stuffed animals and colorful sheets, saying, "What are you, a kid still?"Â
A shiver runs down your spine.Â
But in the library, Kiyoko and other girls are bound to be working on their projects as well. Â
Nowhere was safe but your home, and besides you had your mother and father there if anything went wrong. Mustering up all the courage you write.
âYou can come to my house..?â No that sounded too provocative.Â
Holding the delete button, the sentence is wiped.Â
âWhat about my house?âÂ
Too direct, what if it comes up rude or even flirty?
âWe can go to the library?â No that sounds like you're avoiding the situation now.Â
You hover over âMaybe-â then delete. Too indecisive. âHow about-â too decisive. âWhat about-â too shy.
Itâs already been more than a few minutes and the phone buzzes impatiently.
Miya Atsumu: âWell?âÂ
The fear in your stomach is worse than when the girls would bully you. Which is ridiculous considering you're only sending a text.Â
What if he shows it to all his friends and makes you a laughingstock?Â
You ease your stammering. Relax (Y/n). No one can harm you here. You're not gonna hear his laughs directed at your face. Youâre home in your safe space. Itâs just you, and itâs just a text.Â
"My house?" You press send and hold your breath. A minute passes and now the doubt explodes in you again.
God, why did you type that? That sounds way worse than the other ones, it's almost creepy even. You stuff your face into your pillow and groan loudly.Â
A soft vibration takes you out of the self-loathing cycle, and it reads, Miya Atsumu: "Sure."Â
Your heart pounds and anxiety floats into your stomach as you think of tomorrow.
You wish you used your sick day for then.
Although in the end, it wouldn't have made too much of a difference. It's bound to happen. At least you had until tomorrow to plan, to think what you were going to wear, and what spares you would bring for whatever was going to be dunked on your head.Â
You hear the front door open and close. Your mom always gets home first. You're timidly stumbling down the stairs when she sees you.Â
 "Hey, sweetie. Are you feeling better?" She hangs her jacket up and takes off her shoes.Â
"Oh- Yeah.. um.. so.." your lips purse as she strides into the kitchen, already planning on dinner even if exhausted. You appreciate that. You just wish you had the guts to tell her what happened to those cooked meals at lunch.Â
She grabs a pack of spaghetti and fills a large pot of water to boil. She raises an expectant brow.
"Yes?"Â
You fidget, averting your gaze. "Um.. so I have a project due Tuesday⌠it's with a partner.. but our teacher is not allowing any more time in class. So-"Â
"Oh okay, yeah, that's fine. When do you want her to come?" She grabs a few spices and herbs while talking, and you nervously clear your throat.Â
"It's.. a guy.." She halts for a moment and you can see her mull over your words.Â
You continue hesitantly, âSo... he's coming tomorrow around 6, you know.. after practice usually ends." It's silent for a few seconds and you're pursing your lips, scared.Â
There's a bright beam stretching her lips wide.Â
Oh no, it was either this reaction or disgust. You didn't even know which you wanted.Â
You start again, mainly to cut off whatever she was going to say.Â
"By the way.. you don't have to pack lunch for these next few days." She raises a thoughtful look.
"Why? Have you been dropping it lately? Do you not like it? Is that you've been smelling like it when you come home?"Â
Tensely giggling, you curl your hair behind your ear. "No Mom.. I just.." You trail off, unable to think of a perfect excuse. Nothing to resemble reality. Eventually, her lips curl again.Â
"Ah.. so it's all to do with that boy."
What?Â
You're surprised, rushing to stammer out a no, but she's set in her thoughts.
"I've been wondering why it's emptier than usual, you've been sharing it with him, hm?" She has that trail in her tone as if she caught you.Â
"No! A friend has just been giving me some of there's so I haven't been able to eat mine." She laughs and your face is pink.Â
"Ah I see, so you've been swapping lunches? How cute" You huff at this reasoning, giving up.
Maybe you should just let her believe this anyway. It'd make her happy. Â
"Nothingâs happening with us Mom, we're just school partners. He's not even all that nice, you know," you mutter that last part to yourself.Â
She snickers. "Men struggle with their emotions a bit more than we do when it comes to love-"Â
You shout, "It's not love!"Â
She waves her hand, gesturing for you to calm down. "Right right, well maybe he's just struggling to convey it to you." Huffing again, you cross your arms. That's not it. She's not listening to you, and you sigh angrily. Seriously, if only she knew.Â
"I promise you, Mom, that's not it, just believe me okay? We're going to do the project and that's it, he won't be here ever again.." You pause, then point accusingly toward her. "And no being weird!"Â
"Fine fine, Iâll act normal don't worry, I would hate to embarrass you in front of your crush."Â
"Ugh, just.. no lunch tomorrow please!"Â
You squeak out an awkward "thank you!" and she hums, a grin still lingering.Â
Stomping off to your room, you lightly slam the door and stuff your face into the pillow. You could hear the front door open again, and you're sure your mother is now going to start talking about this mystery "crush" to your father.
You let out a frustrated sigh.Â

august fanfic recommendations!
this is indeed going to be a series. check out july's recommendations!
(also, feel free to give me recs! i'm kind of picky, but i promise to look at what you suggest before adding it to my 80 tabs of fics hehe. rec your own fics if you want đ)
some of these fics are rated e!
sakuatsu
Take My Hand (Take My Whole Life Too) t. 6.1k. sakusa gets hung up on the idea of indirect kissing and indirect hand holding and becomes enamored by the idea of holding atsumu's hand. lovely prose, sakusa is insane in this (affectionate) and atsumu is very loving.
Watching You for Love t. 6.6k. sakusa moonlights as a dj and atsumu finds him out. THIS FIC!! amazing prose and imagery, and sakusa falling for atsumu is also beautiful. please give it a shot <3
Hall Pass t. 6.8k. sakusa and atsumu discuss one another's hall passes and sakusa gets hung up on why atsumu's is saeko. i admit, i still don't know what a hall pass is despite reading this, but it depicts a somewhat jealous sakusa and saeko kissing atsumu, which is more than i could ever ask for.
atsumu, atsumu, let down your hair t. 7.1k. sakusa and atsumu move from fwb to being in a relationship but it's hard to be domestic after being physical. we love healthy communication in a relationship in this house.
the 28 postcards you left me t. 8.3k. after breaking up, atsumu leaves postcards for sakusa in animal crossing. this hurt to read, especially with how in love they were, until they weren't. there's a happy ending, though <3
The Jacket In Your Closet t. 8.6k. once upon a time, atsumu gave sakusa his newly purchased jacket because he saw him uncomfortable in a crowd. atsumu's forgotten about it but sakusa never did (and continues to have a crush on him).
stuck between a rock hard place, or something m. 10.4k. atsumu starts popping boners whenever sakusa opens his mouth. hilariously written and sweet <3 this made me so glad that i like girls because the way sakusa is described here is just. wow. he really is attractive. good for atsumu.
Situated Motionless in the Center of the Heavens t. 15.1k. "For a very long time, Atsumu could barely stand Sakusa. And can you really blame him? Itâs Sakusa, the human equivalent of the feeling you get when you bite into a chocolate chip cookie and realize with profound disappointment that itâs actually oatmeal raisin instead." if that doesn't convince you, just know that atsumu is dense af but he ends up realizing his love in the end.
From Afar t. 17.4k. i could probably make a list of skts fics where sakusa has some kind of ability and intends to keep everyone at arm's length until miya atsumu ruins everything. the ability that sakusa has in this is unique and plays into his mysophobic tendencies beautifully. the way he and atsumu compromise with his gift is a delight as well. just beautifully written overall <3
Again, until it's perfect. t. 18.2k. sakusa and atsumu accidentally pull off a minus tempo quick and they start practicing it. i read this after situated motionless in the center of the heavens, and let me tell you - going from dense atsumu to dense sakusa is so, so good. they're so dumb, i love them /affectionate
One Track Mind m. 18.8k. suna and osamu publicly break up and sakusa is left wondering if it's a good time to tell atsumu that he loves him. hilarious, introspective, with some spice. a perfect blend for an excellent fic <3
In Pursuit of Happiness t. 19.1k. modern magic au where sakusa works at a magic shop after selling his happiness, and atsumu is a pest trying to make him feel happy again. lovely worldbuilding and slowburn!
Better Find Another Superstition t. 21.3k. 7/7. another modern magic au where sakusa and atsumu are forced to work together to resolve an issue with the city's magic supply. hilarious prose, and very light-hearted with a cool magic system in the background. one of my favorites <3
how can I not be moved (by you) t. 26.4k. 3/3. an achingly beautiful magic au where sakusa runs an apothecary and atsumu is a warlock. the worldbuilding is rich and the slow burn is delicious. absolutely beautiful and fluffy <3
pascal's wager t. 34.1k. 6/6. a sakusa character study and his obsession with superstition from atsumu's pov. beautiful writing, lovely wingmen to help atsumu (gourd bless osamu, akaashi, and bokuto) and lovely prose <3
the awful daring of a moment's surrender m. 34.2k. 7/7. in which sakusa lies to himself that he wants nothing with atsumu but atsumu is persistent. beautiful prose (i read so much of this writer's works, they're all so good) and lovely ending <3
Teach Me, Tune Me, Tempt Me e. 38.8k. 10/10. sakusa asks atsumu to teach him about the many firsts needed to enter his first relationship. oh, the pining, the angst, and of course the smut was on point.
sunaosa
working backwards till it rhymes t. 4.2k. gin congratulates suna and osamu on their anniversary, except they aren't dating. or are they? hilarious prose and premise, absolutely loved it.
reasons to microwave an elixir t. 8.2k. university au, modern magic au, roommates to lovers galore. i absolutely loved the prose and how sunaosa developed over the fic. definitely one of my favorites!
you never have to wander, wonder t. 22.6k. suna is the cameraman for the twins' buzzfeed-like worth it youtube series. lovely, lovely pining and prose.
iwaoi
What spring does with the cherry trees e. 7k. pwp with lovely prose and so much love between iwa and oikawa. reading it made me feel soft and fluffy.
galaxies, within you t. 21.1k. makki and mattsun are the absolute best in this. i love the seijoh4's banter and friendship, and how iwa and oikawa eventually confess their feelings for each other. the prose is hilarious and beautiful!
bokuaka
35mm t. 20.9k. 3/3. another fic where akaashi and bokuto slowly fall in love through high school but more movies, akaashi is a movie buff, and lovely prose <3
other
but i am strong (strong enough to carry him) t. 5.3k. atsumu gets a call that osamu has a breakdown and he, aran, and suna comfort him. a beautiful brotherly fic and the helping hands around osamu.
A Full Stomach g. 6.9k. kageyama notices that hinata is eating less and less these days and intervenes. hinata protection squad arise! so much fluff to the hurt, my son deserves everything that karasuno gives him <3
if it's me, it'll be okay t. 9.1k. yachi discovers she's aromantic and goes through it. also, she's best friends with sakusa and it's the best thing ever. a lovely exploration of aromanticism, please give it a shot <3
city's on fire t. 10.5k. cyberpunk au where the twins can hack into memories and rewrite them. the worldbuilding is unique and the twins' relationship is achingly tender but painful with a happy ending.
An Opponent Is Announced g. 13.1k. sakusa has no idea who oikawa is while the rest of the jnt does, hence commencing a (non-serious) investigation into him. love the character dynamics and plot, just a fun, light-hearted read.
a best man's worst problems t. 14.1k. kagehina. tsukishima is asked to be kageyama's best man at his wedding and to give a wedding speech. lovely outsider pov of kagehina's blooming relationship through the years from one very exasperated salty dinosaur.
Safe & Sound t. 17.3k. 5 times kitagawa daiichi ignored kageyama's suffering and 1 time karasuno didn't. oh boy, this hit me in the face with the ANGST and then the comfort. emotionally prepare yourself for this (i wasn't, and my heart shattered in a million pieces).
Common side effects m. 89.9k. 16/16. kuroken. THIS FIC WAS SO GOOD. kuroo is a depressed 30 year old reconnecting with kenma after 3 years of silence. it depicts the monotony and depression of adulthood so well, and the cast is so loving and supportive of kuroo while he was going through it. please give this a shot <3

Osamu miya moodboard and headcanons !
Whenever you go to his restaurant and there's a rush, he gives you cute little notes along with your order and you have a dairy where you stick all the notes. Even when you guys were in school, he'd give you such notes right before a class where you wouldn't be able to see him. You still keep all of them <3
Whenever you're busy with work, he readies the bathtub, lights up candles and decorates it with rose petals, and it's just so relaxing because your work is super stressful.
He hides his face with his hand whenever you give him compliments or tell him anything romantic.
You're the type of person who can quite literally sleep anywhere so he gives you his arm to use as a cushion and doesn't move till you wake up.
Dating him is like having your own personal chef, honestly LIKE EVERYTHING HE COOKS JUST TASTES SO GOOD.
Whenever he's cooking in the kitchen, you like to go behind him and hug him. The first time you did that, he panicked and dropped the knife but now he's used to it.
He likes to feed you like for example, if you had gotten your nails done but didn't want to use your hand to eat because it would ruin the nail art, he fed you and he also makes sure your hair doesn't get in your face.
Breakfast in bed is really common for you guys now. He tends to wake up really early so he makes you the best healthy breakfast ever and everything is according to what you like. He even remembers all your food preferences.
He compliments you usually on text because he gets too nervous to say it in real life, one time you dared him to say it to your face and this guy began breathing so heavily, it was concerning.
He'll get in any weird positions to take pictures where you look good. But sometimes he takes the worst pics of you and posts it when it's your birthday and you threatened him so he'd delete it and post something else.

Chapter 9
đĽPhoenix and Ashes
Suna Rintarou x f!reader
Summary: âItâs funny how nobody believed that we could make it work.â - âWell-maybe they were right.â
Meeting Suna Rintarou wasnât part of your plan. Dating him, either. Getting your heart smashed into the palms of his hand, even less.
Content Warnings: Timeskip, Manga Spoilers, Alcohol Consumption, Mention of 1 OC, Hurt Hurt Hurt, A lot of Regrets but a Happy Ending (i guess?)
Word count: 4k
chapter 1 - chapter 2 - chapter 3 - chapter 4 - chapter 5 - chapter 6 - chapter 7 - chapter 8
When Suna Rintarou met you, he paid attention to you.
It was during the entrance ceremony of Inarizaki High and he couldnât care less about that day. It was just another season, another entrance ceremony. In the morning, his mother had mentioned that the cherry blossoms were surprisingly white this yearâmaybe an omen of good fortune for his high school years, she hopedâ are they? He thought dismissively. He never looked at them anyway, so he wouldnât see a shift in their shades. The spring air was warm enough to be bothersome but still, he couldnât wear his summer uniform. The petals drifting in the breeze were nothing more than a reminder that the break was over and that hot and rainy days were coming. How annoying.
He was heading toward the school gate when you bumped into him. The impact was light, almost unnoticeable, but what caught his attention was the way you were staring up at the cherry blossoms, completely lost in thoughts. There was a moment of surprise as he looked at you, your eyes wide in apology, a quiet âsorryâ slipping from your lips. He brushed it off, giving you a brief nod before moving on. Just another polite girl, he thought. But as he walked away, something about you stuck in his mind. It wasnât the blossoms or the season, but the way you had seemed so utterly captivated by them. You seemed different, not like the other girls. It made him curious, in a way he hadnât been in a while. He took a second glance at you, then at the trees and you again. The petals were pretty, but you were prettier.
Without even realising it, he started paying more attention to you. There was a quiet allure to you, something that drew him in despite his usual indifference. Suna always had luck in getting what he wanted without much effortâaverage grades without studying, friends without trying, athletic successes without pushing himself too hard. It was no different with you. The more he noticed you, the more you seemed to notice him back, and before long, you were as fond of him as he was of you. It happened easily, like everything else in his life. One day, he told you he loved you; you said it back. Life was simple.
When he left for Hiroshima, Suna took his entire life for granted, including you. Playing professionally was harder than he expected, and he started to get too caught up in the excitement of his new life, his new friendsâand of a girl as pretty as fields of flowers. He didnât need to try too hard, just small efforts were enough to turn him into a bonfire that would gather anyone around him, they seemed to be hypnotised by his warmth. âRintarou, youâre so cool,â âMan you could play for the national teamâ, âSuna-kun is so handsome. I wonder if he is single?â. The whispers became his addiction. A sensation in his chest would make him shiver each time. He sought for more and realised that if he played a little harder; he built unstoppable walls. If he joked a little bit more; his teammates trusted him more. And if he smiled just a little wider to the girls; they all smiled back. Suna discovered a new part of him, one that had power. He got tired of those cherry blossoms returning every year. They were nothing new, nothing fresh. And so, you slowly became the only thing that held him back, that reminded him of what he used to be. When he was with you, he started to feel like he wasnât enough. He was average, just like he was in high school. He decided to end the relationship as easily as he had started it, assuming it was just another chapter that could be closed without much effort.
The boy did not realise that fire attracts, but it also burns. It wreaks havoc. It turns down forests and deprives them of oxygen. Suna got choked by his own flames and when he wanted to breathe again, you were not there.
âYouâre not over her, huh?â Hana said as she covered her bare chest with his blanket.
The bed was wet and sweaty.
âWhere does that come from?â He asked, not lifting his eyes from his phone.
âYouâre always asking about her when youâre on the phone with that guy, whatâs his name? Atsomu?â
Suna didnât bother to correct her. âI have a birthday on Saturday,â he said, dodging the topic.
âSo what?â Hanaâs voice turned sharp, irritated.
âDonât come this weekend.â
She let out a small laugh, a bitter one, it was almost filled with resilience, âYou know whatâs the problem with you? You think you can have everything without making any effort. But Iâm not your toy, Rin, and she wasnât either.â
She said your name, and it hit him like a punch to the gut. He straightened up, eyebrows furrowed. âWhy are you talking about her? She has nothing to do with you. Our situation is nothing compared to what I had with her.â
âWhy? Because you loved her, and you donât love me? But I donât fucking care, Rintarou. Iâm just telling you that I donât want to fuck with a guy whoâs still crying about his ex even though he is the one who acted like a jerk,â she snapped and after a brief pause, she added, âMaybe sheâs the lucky one in the situation, after all, I wouldnât want to date a guy like you.â
He didnât care that she took his shirt to get dressed and stormed out of the room, probably waking up the neighbours on her way. What left him puzzled was why that girl pretended to know how he felt. Suna was over you. Sure it hurt him at first to see you crying, but that was it. He did not need you anymore. He liked the freedom of his new life. He did. Really.
Something in his chest felt tight.
That day, Suna lay in bed in silence, staring at the ceiling, thinking about you.
As much as he tried to get you out of his head, he failed. The whole week was torture and the pain in his chest deepened.
Everything he would do, everywhere he would go, something reminded him of you.
On Tuesday he had a game. When he saw one of his teammateâs girlfriends wearing a matching jersey, he thought of you. When you wore his white spare jersey for the nationals years ago,
"What do you think?" You asked flustered. You looked good.
On Wednesday, his little sister Kaoru called him.
âWe had a school trip today.â
âThatâs cool Kao, where did you go?â
âTo the planetarium.â
When you took his hand and called him Rintarou for the first time, you looked cute.
On Thursday, he went out with his friends. When he arrived at the restaurant, Suna sighed. Of course, they had picked up the curry shop you always went to.
âCanât we have ramen this time?â He remembered asking you.
âNah,â you shook your hands, âit would be like treason for Osamu.â
So, he smiled and opened the door, letting you go in first. You would take the least spicy one because you canât handle spices and you would ask to try his, even though he knew you would burn your tongue and complain about it.
âYouâre really weak baby.â He teased you.
Your nose wrinkled and you grinned, âbut you like me.â You said, and you looked happy.
On Friday, he passed by the train station. A train from Osaka had just arrived. He remembered you getting on the train, a sad smile on your face.
âWeâll see each other next weekend,â He said, trying to make your pout go away.
âBut Iâll miss you.â
He kissed your forehead, gave your waist a squeeze. He always did the same thing, but you were flustered each time, you looked in love.
You promised him to come back.
He knew you would.
You were always the one coming.
Maybe Suna should have visited you more often.
When Saturday arrived, the middle blocker thought he was ready. This whole week had been weird, maybe he had some regretsâa little bit of nostalgiaâbut that didnât mean anything. He tried to tell himself on repeat.
But then, he saw you, standing next to Osamu, smiling, and he felt his heart beating loudly in his chest. Were you always so beautiful? Why was Osamu so close to you? And why did it feel so natural to you?
When he came to greet you, you barely looked at him, but he could see the look on your face. And you seemed terrified. You were looking down at the floor, eyes filled with sadness. Your hands seemed to be shaking and your legs paralyzed. Was his presence repulsive? Had he become a monster? His muscles ripped; the air was knocked out of his lungs. A wave of cold washed over him, freezing the blood in his veins.
You were so close to him but so far away at the same time. There was an abyss between you, but it was him who dug it. This was all his fault.
The evening passed, Atsumu was drunk, and Suna couldnât take his eyes off you. He wanted to talk to you, and he was just waiting for the right moment, but the truth was, every time he mustered the courage to approach you, his gaze would meet Osamu's. It was never overtâjust a subtle shift in Osamuâs posture, a glance that held steady for a beat too long. But Suna knew what it meant. His former teammate was acting like a shield, a silent barrier that kept him at bay.
He didnât expect to bump into you as he came out of the bathroom.
But there you were, beautiful as ever. And finally, finally, you were face to face.
âI still love you.â You said.
Love.
Suna definitely underestimated the weight of this word. Your voice made his heartbeat calm the pain that had been lingering inside of his chest for days. It was 1. am and the way you looked at him like he was the only boy in the world was so beautifully addictive. More than any victory. Any flirt. Any bonfire. And so, for the first time in his life, Suna found himself wanting something that wouldnât come easily. He wanted you back, knowing now that it would take everything he had.
But you were drunk, he could see it in your eyes. The way you swayed made his heart sink. This wasnât how he wanted it to be. He needed you to talk to you, open his heart truly, but in your current state, he knew that wasnât possible. He reached out to take the drink from your hand, his fingers brushing against yours, and he saw the confusion in your eyes. The vulnerability there broke something inside of him. He wanted to tell you that he was sorry, but the words caught in his throat.
âIâll find Umi,â he said instead. It was a coward's excuse, a way to escape, and as he turned to leave, he felt the crushing weight of his own fear pressing down on him.
A few minutes after that, you were gone.
âWhere is she?â He asked Umi, his voice coming out more desperately than he had intended.
âWhy is that your problem?â
âHer prince in shinninâ armour went to save her, donât worry buddy,â Atsumu interjected. Umi clicked her tongue, clearly annoyed by the setter.
Suna felt his blood rushing in his temple, âIâll go look for her.â
But he was held back by Umi.
âYouâre a piece of shit.â Your best friend snapped, âdâyou know how sad she had been for months. I donât know what youâre thinking right now, but donât you dare come back into her life.â
Suna knew it was a threat, but he paid no mind. Tomorrow, he would find you and he would tell you everything.
It would be alright.
Love would be enough.
âLove isnât always enough, Rintarou,â his mother told him one afternoon, her voice gentle but firm. âRelationships take work. They take effort. You canât just drift along, expecting everything to stay the same.â
Suna thought she was wrong.
âWhy are you telling me that?â He asked.
She sighed gently and put her hand on his shoulder, âsheâs a precious girl. Donât let her down again.â
Why would he let you down when every day spent with you was like a fresh breeze of Spring? Every touch was like a caress of cherry blossom petals against his skin?
Because, you were back together now, and for nearly six months and everything seemed to be falling into place. He would come to Osaka almost every weekend, arriving late on Friday night. You would greet him with a tired smile, the kind that made him feel like he was coming home. The routine was simple, comfortingâhe would drop his bag in the corner, and you would settle in on the couch to watch a movie, your bodies naturally gravitating toward each other.
Saturday mornings were slow. Eventually, youâd venture out into the city, exploring new cafes or wandering through parks, hand in hand. There was a new openness to you, a sense of freedom that hadnât been there before. At first, he liked itâthe way you laughed more easily, how you seemed more comfortable in your own skin. But as time went on, he started to feel like you were almost too good for him. It was as if you were slipping through his fingers and he couldnât do anything about it. There was a part of you that seemed distant, like you were in the same place but not entirely there with him either.
Saturday evenings were spent downtown with friends. Suna would watch you from across the table, seeing how you interacted with the others. You were shining. But your light wasnât directed to him because he wasnât the centre of your axis anymore. You had opened your universe, and that realisation settled uneasily in his chest. Still, he knew you loved him, and he loved you, so he wasnât scared. Not really.
Sunday mornings came too quickly. Youâd wake up before him, already preparing for your morning run with Atsumu. He would watch you from the bed, already focused on the day ahead. He always left after you returned, a quick kiss goodbye and a promise to text later. The door would close behind him, and he would find himself wondering when things had shifted. When had you started to drift away from him, even as you stayed by his side?
And as the weeks passed, he started to see the truth in his motherâs words.
âI love you, so much.â He whispered into your ear; your naked bodies entwined together.
âMe too,â You answered breathlessly.
And his heart broke, because Suna wasnât stupid, the âI love you tooâ had turned into half âme tooâ.
How cruel, how unfair.
You left him alone on the couch to take a shower, he wished you would ask him to come with you. He felt his eyes getting wet.
When Suna wakes up this morning, the other side of the bed is cold.
Itâs June and the window is open, letting the heavy air of the upcoming summer rain enter. He can almost smell the scent of wet concrete and hear the distant rumble of thunder.
He gets up. Youâre in the kitchen of your parentsâ house, he has been here so many times before. Itâs so dark outside but somehow in that moment, the light reflecting on your face is beautiful. Your mother and your father are out of town for the weekend, and the place is calm.
âDo you want coffee?â you ask, your voice quiet.
He nods, leaning over to kiss your cheek.
âCan you get me a cup?â
âSure, anything for my girl.â
He can see from the corner of his eyes that your shoulders tense at the words.
Your cheeks used to turn red when he called you his. Being his girlfriend used to be your favourite role. Why is the abyss persistent? And why are you the one digging it now?
âSo, I was thinking todayâŚâ he begins, but he can already sense your rejection, âWe could go out for lunch.â
âI thought you were leaving this morning,â you reply, your voice distant.
He calls your name, his voice barely above a whisper. He wants to avoid this conversation, to run away from realityâsomething he was always good at. But something has been eating him alive for weeks and he needs to hear the truth from you. Maybe he is holding you back. He was so cruel to you a year ago, but you came back to him anyway, you forgave him. You only deserve the best (someone kinder; someone who will love you right) Suna understands it now, and he owes you that.
âAre you busy today?â
You hesitate, âIâm sorry, Rin, I'm supposed to meet Osamu later toââ
âItâs fine,â he cuts in, trying to keep his voice steady.
âBut I can come to Hiroshima next week,â you offer, but he shakes his head, knowing itâs a promise you will not keep.
âDonât bother,â he says quietly, taking your cup and placing it on the counter.
He takes a deep breath. This is it. âWhat do you really want?â
Your eyebrows furrow slightly and then your eyes fall down on your feet. You know. After all, youâve been together for five years. There is a connection between you, one that had been built quietly on the moments that once meant everything.
âWe should stop this,â you finally say. You didnât mean to echo what he said to you that day, but you can't seem to come up with anything better to say.
Suna closes his eyes, your voice cutting deeper than he expected. Shit, did you feel this pain when he broke up with you?
He has always taken things for granted, always assumed that everything would come easily. But now, he hates himself for ever thinking such things.
âWhy?â He still asks you.
âI-Iâm sorry Rin, I guess I would be happier alone.â
He gulps loudly when you decide to look at him in the eyes. Thereâs no sign of sadness on your face, only relief, perhaps a little bit of pity.
He smiles against his will, the feeling in his cheeks almost hurts him, âI remember Gin telling the boys how he was convinced you would end up with Osamu. And Umi,â he pauses, âshe never liked me anyway.â
You let him finish, âItâs funny how nobody believed that we could make it work.â
Deep down, desperately, Suna hopes you would say otherwise, tell him that they were wrong, but instead, you brush a strand of hair from your face and say, âWell-maybe they were right.â
The boy doesnât know how he finds the courage to talk again, âDo you regret it? I mean, us.â
âI will never regret meeting you, let alone loving you. It made me better.â You take a long inspiration. âListen, when you broke up with me I thought it was all my fault, I ended up thinking I was worthless and I deserved to be left like that, unloved, alone. But I was wrong. I deserve love and passion and commitment. You did give me that before but you stopped. It was so hard Rintarou, I thought my own heart had been taken away from me. But I grew from that and now Iâm exactly where I am supposed to be.â
âAnd that means-â
âNot by your side, Iâm sorry.â
âBut I can give you love nowâŚâ Suna has to try, so he gets closer to you and takes your hand. Your fingers are cold. They always are.
âWe both know you canât. We were never meant for each other Rintarou⌠but Iâm glad that for a moment I thought we were.â
Youâre the love of my life, he wants to say.
But youâre my first love, you would answer.
A thousand cuts would be less painful than this, Suna is convinced. You cup his face and he thinks your skin has never been so rough.
âWhen is your train?â You finally break the silence after what feels like an eternity.
âIn an hour.â
âDo you want to take a shower?â
His eyes shine like a child.
Gosh, he will miss your kindness.
When you walk with him to the station, itâs comfortable. Your steps are faster than his, you often need to slow down a little bit, but you remain ahead of him. You both recall memories from your high school days. He and Osamu pranking the latterâs brother; He and you kissing on the rooftops, scared to get caught; long nights stressing over exams or games; hands touching under the cafeteria tables; summer days spent eating ice-creams at his motherâs place.
âWell, itâs goodbye then.â You hate your choice of words again.
âGoodbye? As if you were done with me so easily, we still have common friends.â He gives you his usual lazy smile and for a second you think the high school boy you fell in love with is back.
âThe next time I see you you better stop being a coward and maybe you could have an Olympic medal around your neck.â
âGold?â
âGold.â
He laughs, âIâll try. I hope youâll find the right person.â
I found myself, youâre about to tell him but you keep it for yourself. This is your story after all.
âIf I know how to flirt with a guy, I can be a bit dense sometimes.â
âI know.â
You slap his arm and you both giggle.
The last call for the train reminds you itâs time to go.
âSee you,â he says your name one last time.
âSee you, Rintarou.â
He gets on the train but you stay still, your feet grounded on the concrete.
If he is going to leave you anyway, you want to try and let him this time.
âThank you for coming here, for loving me.â
Maybe you say it, maybe you donât.
In another life, you beg him to stay, but this isnât the right place. Instead, you let go. The way he said your name, the way you laughed at every little thing that he said, the way he grabbed your waist to keep you close.
Youâre invaded by peace because it makes sense now.
âFire doesnât destroy, it hardens.â
What a funny end, the flames that gave you warmth, are the same ones that killed you. But maybe this half-written story, this incomplete ending, isnât about fire but about ashes and how you are reborn from it.
You get out of the station without turning back.
On the other side of the road you spot a black Toyota, Osamu is leaning against it. His hair has turned completely brown now. Cute, you think.
You cross the street.
You didnât have to come. Your eyes say.
I know. His reply.
He gives you a side smile before opening the passenger door.
âCâmon Champion. Letâs get out of here.â

DUMPLING Ë ŕźâĄ âď˝ĄË â Osamu Miya X fem!reader
S: rumours cause you to have doubts about your relationship with Osamu, he proves you wrong.
You were completely aware of what people thought of you. Growing up with the Miya twins definitely came with its fair share of attention, unwanted of course but when your best friends are as popular as they are itâs hard to stay hidden. Even till this day, 10 years later youâre still the subject of pointless gossip and rumours.
You spend a lot of time with Osamu at his shop, it was like your little haven to escape to after a gruelling day of work. Of all the rumours that went around about you the one that came up the most was that you and Osamu were dating. Itâs true you were a lot closer to the younger Miya twin and compared to Atsumu who is often away, you saw Osamu almost every day but that didnât mean you liked him.
Liar
Fine you were madly in love with the man. It was easier back in high school when you barely talked because you knew Atsumu first but without the loud mouth blonde as your buffer you were at risk of spilling your secret and ruining your friendship with him.
âYou look deep in thought, whatâs up dumpling?â You could just melt into a puddle right there and then. Osamu adopted the nickname name dumpling for you back in high school, it was used as a tease at first because your mom once only packed you dumplings for lunch for a whole week but now your heart lurches every time you hear it.
âItâs nothing, just work stuff.â You awkwardly lie and laugh hoping heâs doesnât push it. Osamu notices though, youâre not asking him a million questions about how his day was and you barely touched the meal he placed infront of you five minutes ago.
âThat moron from work still bother ya?â You shake your head no. The moron in question was your manager who seemed to have it out for you. When you invited your coworkers over to have lunch at Onigiri Miya, he didnât quite make the best impression on Osamu.
âNo he wasnât in today thank goodness.â
âThen whatâs got ya in such a huff?â He ruffles your hair and you swatt his hand away.
âIâm not in a huff, justâŚ.do you think Iâm clingy?â Youâve gone and said it now, you peer up at Osamu hoping he didnât find the question strange but he just looked confused.
âOf course not, at least not in a bad way.â What did that mean? You were glad the shop was closed otherwise people would hear how pathetic you sound. âWhos got ya thinking like that?â
You hesitate but decide there no use in hiding it from him.
âThe other day, that girl from our high school came in remember?â Osamu tips his head back trying to remember, he gets a lot of customers so it was hard to remember them all but he does recall how excited you were to see some old classmates.
âVaguely.â
âWell I bumped into her again and she said that I was clinging to you a lot and that she wanted to talk to you but I wouldnât let her.â You bury your face in your hands, you didnât have the guts to look at him. You didnât want to tell him but if you were stopping him from talking to girl no matter how much it hurt you wanted to know.
âWhy would she say that? I didnât want to talk to her.â
âItâs okay if you did! I know Iâm here a lot and she seemed really into you.â Osamu frowns at how you were pushing away and not looking at him.
âWhat about you?â You finally look up from your palms to see him pouting down at you.
âWhat about me?â You face flushes slightly as Osamu bends over the counter to come closer.
âAre you into me?â Your eyes widen and it took all the core strength you had not to fall backwards from you chair. Osamu didnât break eye contact, he was a cool as he always was while you were spluttering and trying not to burst into flames
âW-why would you ask that?â
âBecause i want to know.â He states verily. Osamu had his own speculations about your feelings for him, he hoped it was the same as the ones he had for you but he wanted to hear it coming from your mouth.
âIf I said yes, what would you do.â You fleeting confidence was the only think keeping you from fainting in his moment.
âDonât play with me dumpling.â The silence in the room was deafening. Your palms were sweaty and Osamu being so composed made you sweat even more.
âYou didnât answer my question.â He narrowed his eyes at your cryptic attempt to challenge him. The space between your faces was almost nonexistent, you eyes flickered every few seconds between Osamu eyes and his lips hoping your want to kiss him wasnt too obvious.
âI would kiss you and ask you out on a date.â
âReal-â before you could finish Osamus lips were on yours. His cold hands come up to cradle your face and his thumbs caress your cheeks softly. You grab the back of his neck and pull him closer to you. Never in your dreams did you imagine your first kiss with Osamu would be like this let alone in his Onigiri shop.
Osamu breaks for a second, breathing heavily. âIâm sorry, you just looked so pretty.â His pecks your lips and travels all around your face. âI wanted to do this for so long.â
How long?â You weâre on the verge of tears, happy ones of course but knowing that Osamu may have had the same feelings as you this whole time was upsetting. You couldâve been together since the beginning but you were too afraid.
âSince we met.â He looks down when your eyes widen in shock. âI was just scared you didnât feel the same or that youâd never talk to me if I told ya.â You were both such idiots.
âOh samu, I feel the same.â
âYou do?â He grins
âOf course I do, I was just afraid of the same thing.â He picks you up onto the counter and swings your legs over to the other side so he could stand between them. You lean in for another kiss, this one much deeper and passionate than the last. His hands slip to your waist, sneakily snaking his fingers under your shirt.
You break once again but keep you forehead rested on his. âSoooo if I wanted to skip the date and ask to be your boyfriend ya wouldnât run for the hills?â You laugh making Osamu smile.
âI wouldnât, but I still want the date.â You tease and hug him close, resting your head on his chest.
âAnything for you pretty lady.â

miya osamu x reader drabble
osamu hates it when someone else is in the kitchen with him.
he personally thinks its a hassle and slows down the work when there are more than one person in the kitchen. whenever someone offers help, he immediately declines, insisting that he can do it on his own. one time he got super grumpy because atsumu is too stubborn to leave him alone in the kitchen and fucking up the chopped vegetables. thats why he prefers to cook alone.
you, however, he doesnt mind. not that he lets you help him though, but he needs to feel your presence in the kitchen, " 's moral support," he said. he lets you yap while hes cooking, and will give comments and reactions to your conversation. 'oh d'you know about that old lady two houses across?' , 'i think im actually good at cooking, 'm just lazy,' , 'can we go to the ramen diner some time? heard it was good,' , ''m getting fat if you keep feeding me with your cookings,' . you may be quite the conversationalist, but osamu enjoys listening to you.
miya osamu may not enjoy others in his kitchen space, but for you, he would make an exception. even if you poorly chop the ingredients or botch the sautĂŠing by overheating, he'll let it slide.

Miya Atsumu
Mentions: Nsfw
Sorry for any errors ! Love you !
Imagine Atsumu came back from a shitty practice. He was upset, annoyed and angry. âWelcome back honey.â You welcomed him. He ignored you and went to shower.
After he showered he entered the room. You were wearing a sexy lingerie. He pounced on you. âHi to you too daddy.â You giggled. âGosh Iâm so lucky.â He said. You whined as he turned you on all fours and spanked you. He was hard. All he wanted was to fuck you til sunrise. A soft moan left your mouth as he rubbed your clit. He chuckled on how quickly you responded to his touch. You felt how soaking wet you were. It coated his hand on how he played with your nice pussy. He groaned as you wiggled your ass like a bitch in heat. He slammed into you. You yelped, your face fell on the pillow as he pounded you. â fuck baby..your pussy is so good fâmeâ. His voice was hypnotizing. You loved how he stuffed you. You felt the veins on his long and girth dick. He saw how your eyes were shut and how you drooled onto the pillow. âMy cute slut.â He whispered in your ear. You nodded. He suddenly gripped your hair and yanked you upward. You let him manhandle you. He fucked you hard. You couldnât handle it anymore. Atsumu hit your G-spot with every thrust. â Atsumu!!â You released around his cock and squirt making a mess everywhere. A few seconds later he filled you up with his warm thick cum. He made sure not a drop spilled. âsâfull daddy.â You spoke as you clenched around him. â you were so good fâme sweetheart.â he replied with a smile. He appreciated the sex. You wanted him to release his negativity. You knew sex would make it fun and easy. You squirmed as he pulled out and left. Atsumu always makes sure you felt okay and always includes aftercare. He carried you to the bathroom. He bathed you. âThank youâŚI feel way better.â he thanked you. You hummed as he scrubbed your body clean. âI love you honey.â as he heard that his eyes sparkled. âI love you too sweetheart.â you couldnât help but giggled as he rinsed you off and dried you up. âIs it okay if I bath you?â You asked yawning. âYou canât stand and youâre sleepy baby.â You couldnât deny that. After about an hour. He was done showering, changed, and the bed had new sheets. You two cuddled and drifted to sleep. Itâs funny and cute how you both snored.

Grey (Pt. 3/Final)
Warnings: Reader is painfully nice, angst, ultra fluff
Word count: 8k
PART 1, PART 2
At lunch, you sit in your old spot. Your feet dangling above the ground atop the bench while eating the food your mother made yesterday. She didnât leave you a note this time, seeing how upset you have been these past few days, which is a relief. It was quiet today. No girls to bother you, no one near your favorite large tree that the wind loved to surround.Â
Sure youâre relieved that you can finally eat food, relieved that youâre undisturbed, relieved you wonât have any more bruises.. but you arenât happy. And youâre only able to eat half of your food before you lose your appetite.Â
You make sure to avoid everyone if possible. Throughout the scowls, the glances, and the even more hidden whispers, you keep your head low and move quickly to avoid interaction. Especially making sure to ignore a specific Miya twin. Itâs not like he would deliberately talk to you now that the project is over, but still, youâd rather not see him at all.Â
Practice always arrived promptly. Although youâre doing all right, better than before perhaps, you donât say much. Lucy looks like she wants to approach you a few times, but you make sure to pack up and exit so fast sheâs unable to. Several times you nearly stumble into a set of yellow and grey-haired twins who leave their practice around the same time as you, as unfortunately, the other gym is right across theirs. Fortunately, you manage to quickly scurry away, enough for them not to notice you.Â
Atsumu lately is giving you more glances than usual as if he is planning on saying something. So when the bell rings you would rapidly spring out of your seat and run to the bathroom. Closing the stall, youâd sit on the toilet and hold your lunch to your lap, exhaling a relieved sigh.Â
You didnât want to hear any more teasing. Not after that embarrassing display you showed.
It keeps replaying in your head over and over. The way you're pushed to the ground, surrounded by bullies, revealing your terror so promptly. The way Mr. Knight in shining black armor saves the day and makes you feel even worse.Â
I donât need your help. Leave me alone. That phrase echoes in your head.Â
Pathetic. You canât even deal with your problems, instead, Atsumu of all people helped, and worse.. it did something. You arenât being targeted anymore and that was irritating. If it hadnât been for him, you wouldnât be in this stall right now miserably eating your lunch. Food would be in your hair, youâd come home to your mom and dad whoâd ask how the day went, and you'd have to keep up the stupid lie of sharing your food.Â
Sighing, you pack up the rest of your lunch.
Kiyoko and the women trudge into the area, their hair a little damp, bits of food poking in it. Their heads hang low, and some are snickering at them.Â
It seemed the tables had also now turned, and you didn't know why.
Youâre confused as you spot Atsumu chuckling, and some part of you is disappointed in him. Â
When youâre studying them, they manage to gather a collective scowl at you, and accustomed to the fear you swiftly spin. Â
Before everything, you'd eat alone, avoid any interaction, ignore bullying, play, run off, go home, stay in your room all day, do homework, and then go to sleep. It was just as it was, back to normal. No pathetic fangirls, no men, and no motherly teasing. No one spoke to you, everyone (besides Atsumu striving to get your attention) ignored you as you did to them.
Kiyoko might give you a few scowls sure, but did she deserve that?Â
It was perfectly justified, just how everyone decided it should be⌠Right?Â
A voice would selfishly reason that it is better than being the one who is repeatedly bullied. You would no longer dread going back to school, no more panic attacks at 4 am, just a plain good nightâs sleep.Â
But you're not satisfied now.
It's just wrong.. all wrong.
When class ends, you encounter eyes with Atsumu.. then you do the unthinkable.Â
You start fixating as Kiyoko's aggressively packs her bags before going home. Sheâs too drowsy to even force a glare yet still has a hard hatred in her eyes when fixated. âUh⌠hey, Kiyoko.â
âWhat?âÂ
Atsumu is confused, and heâs frozen beside the door as he watches the exchange. Youâre shyly fidgeting with your fingers and she scowls at you.Â
You mutter to not be heard by a certain someone. âAre you⌠okay?âÂ
Kiyokoâs eyes widen, but It sharply settles to a glower that feels similar to Atsumu before he had told her off.Â
âLike you care.â She shoves past you, bumping your shoulder, and stomps out the room. Itâs a silent pitiful pause before you start to do the same and Atsumu calls out to you.
â(Y/n) wait-âÂ
He blocks the doorway, and you stand, crossing your arms. You have a cold expression, and you're glaring angrily. âWhat are you doing?â
âGetting your attention.â He looks pathetically desperate, and you grunt.
âNo. I mean, what are you doing?â You firmly repeat, and he's visibly lost and doesnât understand.
âAre you bullying Kiyoko?â Heâs taken aback at your words, shocked. He doesnât respond, heâs not sure how to when the answer is around the lines of, "yes- but not in that way."
A pin drop can be heard in the heaviness. You gather every bit of courage and force your way out, declaring something that makes him still.Â
âYouâre such a jerk.âÂ
Atsumu is accustomed to these words. Osamu, his team members, women, friends and, so on would say similar phrases along these lines. It shouldnât have hurt, but when you did, there was a pang in his chest like none other.Â
This time when you rushed out of practice today, you saw Atsumu waiting outside.Â
â(Y/n) lis-â You spin on your heel the opposite way and rush off. He sighs, slumping disappointedly. He fixates on your retreating form, a twitch prodding his lips into a small inevitable frown.Â
Osamu elbows him hard in the side, forcing him out of his trance and causing him to grumble.
âTalk to her.â Â
His shoulders fall as he watches your even farther form. Youâre clutching your bag desperately tight, and your speed walking like youâre politely running away.Â
âYea, easy for you to say. She doesnât want to be talked to.âÂ
âAnd how do you know?âÂ
âHm, I dunno, maybe her saying the words âleave me alone.â or youâre such a jerk.âÂ
Rintaro joins the conversation as he walks out of the gym. âSheâs a girl. All of them do that. In reality, thatâs code for âgive me attention.â Because if you donât theyâll just get even more mad.âÂ
Shinsuke follows after, stoically blinking. âWere you talking with her normally before?â
âI mean.. a little.. yeah.â
âSo did you do anything impolite to make her not want to talk to you?â
Atsumuâs expression falters, and he rubs the back of his neck. âWell..âÂ
âHe made her cry, twice.â Osamu chips in, and Atsumu elbows him hard, his expression changing into a glare.Â
âHuh, maybe she does want you to leave her alone then,â Rintaro says.
He quickly slumps in defeat. âYeah⌠Iâve been.. a bit of a jerk.âÂ
The team side eyes each other. âA bit?âÂ
âThere's a possibility it can all be fixed by communication. Go apologize and talk about it,â Shinsuke says simply. Atsumi groans aloud, face planting.Â
âWhat if she hates me now Samu?âÂ
âI was just trying to help.â
âDo you think I really am mean?â
âDo I deserve redemption?âÂ
Osamuâs eye twitches at the tenth whine and nearly decks his brother in the face when they arrive home.Â
When you open the door to yours, you look miserable.Â
âAre you okay?â Your mother asks, and you let out an exhausted breath.Â
âYeah.â Slipping your shoes off, you leave the rest of your lunch on the table and rush to go upstairs. Your mother is frowning once she opens the bento, finding the food only half eaten. It was just like before when there was no project, no bullies, and no boy.Â
Cuddling your blankets you turn on the TV to watch whatever. You remain like that for a few minutes before a gentle buzz vibrates the bed. Pulling it to your sight, you seeÂ
Miya Atsumu: âCan we talk?âÂ
You huff and throw the phone away from you. What did he possibly have to talk about to have the nerve to text you?Â
The worst part is you didnât even hate him for it, and you despised that you didnât.
Maybe if you were a vengeful person, youâd be at peace now. You should just be happy that Kiyoko and the others are getting a taste of their own medicine. But you aren't. Youâre not happy, it doesnât make you proud, It makes you sad.
Frankly, you just want nothing happening at all. Youâre okay with a boring life, no one speaking to you, no one being bullied, eating lunch, going to practice, coming home, eating dinner, and going to sleep. Thatâs it, thatâs all you needed and youâd be happy.
But would you though?Â
All you can think about is the warm sputter of butterflies in your stomach when he brushed up against your leg at that desk last Friday. The way he so genuinely smiled and how it made your heart bloom. Heâs so different when itâs with you alone, so how could he be so cruel?Â
At dinner time, youâre quiet and your parents send a few glimpses to another. There is a dull ache in your chest as you eat, and you canât help but remember how your mom giggled when Atsumu was at the table. Itâs a direct comparison to the painful silence right now. Your dad is reading the paper, your mom is awkwardly eating, and youâre pressing your hand against your cheek while shoving small forceful bits of food into your mouth.Â
âSo..â your dad starts and youâre already dreading this.Â
âAnything new happening lately?â Your mom gives him a certain look as if saying are you sure you want to go into that?Â
âNo.âÂ
âHow was the project?âÂ
You shrug. âIt was fine.âÂ
âYouâre no longer talking to that boy?â Your dad hesitantly asks. Your mom clears her throat when you go silent.Â
Your tone is frustrated and drawn out as you battle with your patience. âIt was just a project Dad. We did our work and now itâs done, itâs been done since Tuesday.â
He slowly nods and looks at your mom again.Â
âWell..â she starts and you donât know where itâs going but you give her a fed-up look. âDo you like him?âÂ
You go silent again and youâre no longer eating, just playing with your food. There's a mixture of both disgust and affirmation to that question.
âNo..âÂ
They share a look. âOkay.â
âBut..â
You sigh when it still keeps going.
âIf you do⌠maybe you should talk to him.âÂ
They donât know the full story. All they know is a man you might like gets assigned to be your partner and sparks fly. They donât know your mixed emotions.
They donât know how he made you cry twice. The first from him practically calling you a loser and laughing in your face. The second, him seeing the embarrassing display of being bullied by his own fangirls, and worse, saving you from it. They donât know the evil side of him when he is returning the favor to them right after.
âYeah.. I guess.â You take a small unenthused bite of food, then stand, signaling that youâre done talking.Â
A buzz vibrates your phone, and youâre washing the dishes, ignoring the sound. You know who it is.Â
âIs that Atsumu?â Your mother chirps in, also just happening to know. It rumbles again and you sigh.Â
You want to say it was another friend or Lucy, but that would be a fat lie. No one texts you, you have no friends. Lucy didnât even have your number, she was just a nice teammate. Your parents have been trying not to pester you about it, but now and then they would imply something along the lines of getting together or inviting a certain someone for dinner.Â
They didnât know what was happening, they had zero rights.Â
Your curiosity gets the better of you. Subconsciously you pull it to your view and you see 2 notifications belonging to the name of Miya Atsumu.Â
Miya Atsumu: âCan I just explain?âÂ
Miya Atsumu: âPlease?âÂ
Why did he want to talk to you so badly? You just can't understand it. Did he care about you or something? No. Thatâs out of the question.Â
For the first time youâre instinctively typing an angry response, forgetting that he can see the bubbles on his end. Crap. You delete it quickly and your heart stammers when you see an immediate text forming from him. A minute passes of nothing and you exhale a breath of relief, maybe he didnât see and was caught up in his own text. Or he respected your lack of answer, which you doubted, but youâre glad you donât see another.Â
Why did you still have his number in your phone anyway? The project was over, he isn't going to keep talking to you after he's bored. Just because he hasnât been mean to you for those few days during the project didn't mean he suddenly changed.
A sting in your heart rejects that notion, remembering again the feeling of your heart when you both share a laugh and work beside each other. Whenever his eyes would twinkle at you so sweetly like he actually cared.Â
You should hate his stupid smug face, the way it looks at you, the way his eyes glimmer. You should hate him, and Kiyoko, and Angie, and Osamu, and.. and.. ugh. Youâre practically scrubbing a plate down to the bone before your mother plucks it out of your hand.Â
âI think itâs clean now.â Youâre groaning, jaw clenched so tightly youâre sure youâre going to snap something.Â
âWhy donât you just go upstairs, for now, Iâll finish the rest.â She says, grabbing the sponge out of your hands.Â
You breathe what feels like steam. âFine.âÂ
Over the next few days Atsumu is still desperately trying to get your attention. Practically doing anything in his power to make sure the stars align to speak to you. But youâre quicker.Â
Whenever you see that yellow hair you make sure to run far, bolting at the slightest resemblance. You never even manage to get to your locker before heâs in the hallway, so youâre forced to carry obnoxious books while you sprint off. Besides, even if the fangirls were told off, youâre sure they would do something once they see you speaking with him again. And it's not like youâd tell him either if something did. They can easily threaten you, and force you to meet up outside of school so you can get thrashed around.
Today heâs nowhere in sight and youâre finally releasing the pounds of weight off your arms.Â
âHey.â A familiar stern voice shakes you to your core, and you slowly stand around to get a view of the person.
Osamu, thank god.Â
âHi..?â You awkwardly press your back against the locker, staring at the calm features that replicate Atsumu. He looked much different, and his features are more relaxed.
âYouâre (Y/n) right?â He asks.
Youâd think he'd remember that after the time his brother made you run off with tears.Â
âYeah..â you trail off, unable to meet his eye while you grip the strap of your bag tightly.
âHm.â He pauses randomly, studying you, and youâre shuffling your legs nervously.Â
Finally, he speaks. âDo me a favor, tell Sumu off so he can finally stop bothering me.â You furrow confusedly.Â
âWhat?âÂ
âHe wonât shut up about you, Iâve been hearing it for weeks now," he groans. Youâre eyes widen. You can't believe him, but he looks terribly annoyed just thinking about it that it makes it seem truthful.Â
âWhat? Weeks?â That didnât make sense.Â
âOr get together already, I donât care.â He sighs tiredly, like fed up with the world.Â
You huff, âAll he cares about is bullying,â under your breath.Â
He shrugs, âHe can't pull that off, he's too focused on whining like a baby trying to get your attention.â Â
If Atsumu was here, surely heâd be arguing with his brother, exclaiming, âThatâs not true!â But youâre ogling at the imaginary scene, unable to even picture that.Â
You awkwardly say an "okay.." mainly to end the conversation.
He lets out a sigh, the only thing his mind can go to as he walks off is food. âIâm hungry.âÂ
Heâs gone before you could even respond, and youâre standing there, completely dazed. What even just happened?
Itâs cold outside, it's the weekend luckily, and youâre bumping your volleyball at home to the wall, practicing your receives. No texts were received today which was nice. You knew heâd get bored. Heâs fed up and the chain of command continues. You're free while others take your stead.
Guilt aches in your chest from that thought.Â
âDinners almost ready (Y/n)!â Your mom calls out, and you pant into the wispy air. Setting the volleyball down, you take off your outside shoes and slide the door behind you. Itâs warm, and your dry hands clasp together, receiving the heat. Your moms about to serve the food, and you stand at the bottom of the stairs.Â
âIâm going to get my gloves for outside.âÂ
She nods and you rush up. Where were they? You havenât used them since last winter. You search in your closet, crouching to see if you can find the labeled bin. Hands digging deep into the space, youâre so concentrated on trying to find the mitts that you donât even hear the knocking on the door.Â
You do hear small mutterings of your mother down the stairs, but canât make it out too well. You shrug, assuming she was just talking to your father anyway.Â
âOh my- yes yes, of course, come in. You must be freezing, poor dear.âÂ
Ah! There they are! Stuffed in between your summer shorts and sandals. Guess you mustâve disorganized them along the way.Â
âGot them!â You walk downstairs with your head down, holding the mitts in your hand. You turn to set them on the table and cease the movement, eyes widened in shock. Your heart nearly leaps to your tight throat, and your stomach is anxiously swarming.
âWhatâs he doing here?â You look to your mom who just allowed your worst nightmare to come in. Heâs panting, looking at you with determined eyes, his brows furrowed and his expression serious.Â
âDonât be rude (Y/n). He came to see you. You donât expect me to leave him out there in the cold do you?â She waves you off and walks to the kitchen to leave you two peering at another. Youâre about to turn away to run back up the stairs, and he shouts out, âWait!â You stop in your tracks, pursing your lips, eyes shut.Â
âCan we just talk.. please?â Your fingers are holding onto the railing, your right foot at the first step. Donât look, donât listen, just leave.Â
You turn around to face him, and his eyes widen a little. You turn to your mother who is making herself busy, and you gesture your head up the stairs. Were you really going to do this again? Why? Why are you doing this? Why arenât you sending him out, shoving him away, and saying leave me alone?
He nods quickly and follows. Once the door closes you whip around to him, crossing your arms firmly. âWhy are you here?âÂ
Youâre taken aback at his exhaustion, heâs panting, and his blonde hair is a little disheveled. Heâs a mess, and youâre confused, heâs always so well put together with that plastered smirk that said âIâm better at everyone at everything, and I know it.âÂ
You bite your lip, some guilt settling in your chest as you wait for him to catch his breath.Â
Eventually, he brushes his hair to the side, breathing deeply and fixating calmly on you. âListen, I know you donât want to talk to me. I know you donât like me.. for good reasons.â You remain quiet, nodding to his words. He thinks a second before speaking again.Â
"But I didn't hurt Kiyoko or anyone else." You squint your eyes and he stumbles over his words. "Maybe I indirectly started it after I called her some mean things, but I wasn't the one who did that, like they did to you." You're humming as you think. You aren't sure if that pleases you.
He suddenly gestures low for a bow and you flinch a little at the fast movement. âIâm sorry for being a jerk. I'll do better, i'll make it up to you I promise.â Youâre shocked at this change of heart and he continues, sputtering a little.
âI hope you can forgive me, it doesnât have to be now.. just someday.. and I'll do whatever it takes to regain your trust, and if you still decide that I am not worthy of it in the end.. " He pauses. "Thatâs okay.. Iâll understand.âÂ
You donât even know what to say, but those are the last words you expected. He really felt.. sorry? Was that even possible? No that wasnât right, this must be a ploy. Frankly, you don't get why he wants your trust so badly in the first place, but youâre kind of flattered.Â
Though.. Atsumu wouldn't lie would he? Heâs hardly the type to even feel guilty over tears, heâd never stoop so low to beg for forgiveness if he didnât want to. He is a jerk and he even admitted that, but he canât be serious, can he? Â
Standing straight again, his serious expression alone proves you as wrong as can be, and heâs desperately scanning your expression, looking for any possible emotion. You quietly turn your head to the side, mind still mulling over the current scene.
When he recognizes the absence of words, he bows again, this time politely. âThatâs.. all I wanted to say, I will leave now.â He turns his back to you, signaling his movement. The door opens and heâs about to step out, and you have a voice thatâs screaming at you to stop him before itâs too late.Â
âWait.â
He stops and looks at you expectantly, and you inhale deep. You shouldnât be saying this, but you are.Â
âApologize to Kiyoko too.â He grimaces like you just uttered the most foul words in existence.Â
He breaks out with a, âHuh?âÂ
âApologize to her, and the other girls.âÂ
Again, he repeats even louder. âWhat?âÂ
You press your hands against your waist, frustrated he isn't understanding.Â
âApolo-âÂ
âNo, I heard you.â He presses a hand to his forehead and sighs.
"Why?" He asks, and you breathe deep.
"Because.. even if they started it.. I know how it feels, and I never want anyone to go through that."
It wasnât exactly what he expected when he said heâd do anything for your trust, but he'd still do it for your sake. Although he might not agree with the choice, he can understand the need to have peace in your mind.
âPromise.â Your tone is firm and youâre pointing at him with your pinky. âPromise youâll do it and be nice." You donât even know why you expect him to agree and follow through, but you oddly trusted him.
The idea of apologizing to those girls of all people makes him grumble under his breath. He presses his pinky into yours and locks it, his voice filled with reluctance, âYeah, I promise.âÂ
âGood.â You nod, and when it gets silent again you clear your throat. "So.. do you want to stay for dinner?"
He gently laughs and shoves back the idea of what he'd have to do later.
âYeah, Iâd like that.â He smiles genuinely and you nod.
Dinner is only awkward for a few seconds until your mother begins speaking to Atsumu. They laugh amongst each other and a small tug pries your lips.
The conversation stops as the front door opens and closes. Your father walks in and your mother claps her hands in excitement. He makes eye contact with Atsumu and they greet one another very politely. Youâre suddenly anxious as your dad takes a seat beside you. He has a firm expression and presence, but it eases into pleasantness as holds his hand out to Atsumu.
âAtsumu right? I heard a lot about you, nice to meet you.â Atsumu shakes his hand and glimpses your way.
âHeard a lot about me?â
You know what heâs thinking and you turn a small shade of pink, glaring at your mom whose stifling a laugh. Your dad joins in the laughter, even Atsumu, and youâre beet red. You arenât the one always talking about him. Â
âWeâre just teasing (Y/n).â Your mom waves and you huff, forcing more food into your mouth.Â
âSo tell me Atsumu, whatâs your favorite food?â Your mom asks for no particular reason and you cough.Â
âAnything you make for (Y/n) is enough to keep me happy.â He responds pleasantly and your mom presses a hand to her chest.Â
âWhat a charmer.â
You're planning on rolling your eyes when you look at him. But you're surprised the way he seems so genuine. Most cases he is confident and smug, but the way he grins so happily right now shows you that you're wrong.
You avert from the scene and you can see him gazing at you longingly in your peripheral. Your cheeks dust pink.
The room gradually cascades with laughter, and your stomach flutters whenever he makes your parents laugh.Â
When itâs time for him to go, he politely thanks them for the meal and says his farewell. They let you walk him out. He steps outside and youâre fidgeting a little with your fingers. âUm so.. Iâll see you..âÂ
He beams and rotates. âYeah. Cya (Y/n)â Â
âDonât forget the promise!!â You call out and even if it makes him sigh, he answers âI wonât.âÂ
You close the door, walk to your room, and lay in the bed. Gazing at the ceiling you think of the scene that just transpired. Shoving your face into the pillow, a loud squeal escapes, and your legs dangle like a schoolgirl.Â
You did it. You actually fell for the jerk Miya Atsumu.Â
When it's Monday, you're nervous yet excited to finally get the peace you so crave and to prove to your heart that he is a good person.
He's dreading when he glances to Kiyoko. Sheâs visibly scared in her seat as he approaches her. "Hey." He starts, a little too aggressively right off the bat. You clear your throat, signaling him to be aware.
Exhaling a sigh, he presses his hand behind his neck. "Come on, you guys too." They all stand and jitter nervously, and you tail behind them.
They look like kicked puppies, and in a way it almost makes you feel pitiful.
He walks to the same terrible corridor you had frequented for those dreadful days. You remember the way they would dump food on you and kick you, yet even if it slightly hurt to witness what you're forcing him to do when.. you know it'll be worth it in the end. Finally he stops, and you do the same. Atsumu shuffles uncomfortably, like unsure he was going to get this far. They look freaked out and tense as planks while waiting.
He grits his teeth and sucks in every little bit of pride he has. "I'm sorry." Everyone blanks at the tone. It was a bit forced, but you suppose it had to do.
They're confused, unsure if this was some trick before you appear at his side and elbow him lightly. He's peering at you with a look that says âI have to say more?"
Grumbling and huffing, he continues, âsorry for treating you the way I did. I wonât do it again.â The apology comes out so eerily even they cringe. That was harder to force out than anything heâs said in his life, and that said a lot.
His eyes zone in on Kyoko mainly. She's bewildered and you wriggle awkwardly. The tension is worse than when you were forced to work with him on the project the first day. It's quiet and you touch his arm, forcing him to look at you with a certain gaze. You signal for him to leave them alone.
"Lets go."
He exhales a sigh, and his hand presses against your shoulder. Even in this weird scene you're blushing at the action. The girls are staring at you like deers in headlights, their mouths agape, slack jawed and stuck. The struggle to not send them a threat shooting down their spines had him walking away a lot faster than you would've thought and he's gone before you know it.
You awkwardly walk pass the group whose heads follow you like dolls. "Atsumu!" You call out, sprinting and panting down the halls.
He's grumbling to himself, speaking nonsensically and because of the height difference, his steps are like twice of yours. "Wait up!" He finally pauses, and turns to you surprised when he sees you holding your hands to your knees, exhausted.
He wants to be annoyed at you, but its hard to frankly, and when you're done heaving, you press your hand to him. He twitches a little and you look to him with wide twinkling orbs. "Thank you for doing that."
He blinks at you and pulls back nervously, a stammer in his chest. "Y-Yea.. no problem."
Suddenly every bit of him is glad it worked out this way.
As the days pass, you've been gradually getting more comfortable with him. You've been exchanging bentos, teasing another, sharing advice about volleyball(mainly on his side), and walking each other to practice. And Kiyoko wasn't sending you glares that much anymore which was nice.
Youâre packing up your things as slowly as usual, and Sumu is stretching, complaining. âWeâre gonna be late for practicee (Y/n).â
 âThen goo.âÂ
Atsumu huffs, stuffing his hands in his pockets. You catch a side glance of Kiyoko who is still in class, feigning patience as she anxiously looks towards you and back. It could just be your imagination, but it looks like she might want to say something.
You angle your head toward her subtlety and he understands, fixating on the sight. She jolts at just the glimpse and is finding things to touch and direct her attention to. He gives you an annoyed look and you shoo him away.
If it wasnât for appeasing you on this promise, he probably would be giving her hell right now you're sure. You pat him on the shoulder, practically begging with your eyes, and he nearly rolls his. Exhaling in defeat he points to the door.
âIâll be outside.â
Itâs a weird tension when heâs gone. You should've been timid and scared but you're not. Perhaps itâs because of Mr. fussy outside, or maybe because you just feel better about the situation and you're ready to hear what she has to say.
She walks to you very slowly and keeps her lips separated as she thinks. âSo⌠um..âÂ
âI did a lot of bad things to you..â Sheâs biting her lip and she speaks vaguely, either too ashamed or hesitant to confront you. You purse your lips when it gets silent, beginning to writhe at the heaviness.
âYour momâs cooking really wasnât that bad, I just.. wanted to be mean.. among other things..â She trails her words like there's more. Her voice gets real low, but you hear it, and she says "Sorry.."
It's a small pause before she continues, âIâd.. um.. probably be getting the same treatment.. if.. um..â sheâs clearly struggling to elaborate, for fear perhaps itâd be too pitiful or embarrassing.
Her voice gets lower and sheâs fixated on the corner of the room.Â
âI appreciate it.. Thanks..âÂ
You awkwardly respond with a nod.
She mimics that motion, then grabs her things and timidly sprints off. Surely she met Atsumu on the way out, and hopefully, nothing is said between the two. A small contempt smile is on your face. You're happy.
Before you can even finish walking out the door hands instantly meet your shoulders. Youâre abruptly whirled around to meet Atsumu who is filled with concern.Â
âDid she do anything?â His hands touch your chin, moving it directly yet gently to the left, then to the right, up, and down. He's carefully examining the way your strands are positioned to see if it differed from when he left, if there's a crinkle in your clothes, if your skin is touched, anything he could possibly notice.Â
You playfully slap his fingers away. âIâm fine Sumu, nothing happened. We just talked.âÂ
His eyes raise, and he doesn't look like he believes you. âYou just talked?â You nod shyly. Â
âAbout what?â Heâs trying to hide the small irritation in his voice but you can tell itâs just slightly there. You supposed it was reasonable though.Â
You want to tell him, but for the sake of her privacy (and pride mainly) you say â⌠Girl things.âÂ
He still doesnât seem to believe you but he hums anyway. âNothin' bad?â You hold your pinky out to him.Â
âPromise.âÂ
You two would then stroll to the gymnasiums, and Lucy would greet the both of you before you'd separate and begin conversing. Then when practice would finish you found that you had been bolting out the door much faster than anyone and shouting, âBye! See you tomorrow!âÂ
You'd rush to meet with the twins who usually were just beginning to walk out. Atsumu would grin at you, and youâd blush as you talk to him, pushing stray hair behind your ear. He walked you home like usual, sometimes even greeting your mother who will try to (always) invite him to dinner.
He might make some excuse and say heâs busy, or.. secretly your favorite, when he decides to stay and sometimes even hang out with you in your room to do homework together. But nothing else came of it, just homework. You enjoyed the time together when he and you would sit very close, quietly writing, reveling in the peace.Â
Luckily today was one of those days.Â
Atsumu likes concentration, he is oddly very silent and focused when he works. The only time he would get a little annoyed is when there were unnecessary sounds, like pens clicking too much or chatter. You understood that, so itâs easy for you two to work together.
Yet even when you two are starting at the same time, he manages to do it very quickly once he gets himself in the moment. This skill he had made it so that he was always done first, and from there he would typically head off since itâd always be like 8 or so. That always made your heart drop a little.Â
This time though, he sits on your bed and yawns. You blink at him confused, and he gestures you over. âLetâs watch a movie.â Your heart thumps at the idea, but you remember there's still work sitting on your desk.Â
âI still have a bit more to do..â Â
âItâs Friday, Iâm confident you can get it done before Monday.â He teases and you avert your attention to the worksheets left. It wasnât that much, thatâs true. You could just do it tomorrow.Â
Heâs a bit more gentle with his tone when he speaks. âIâll make it up to you if you donât get it done, promise.âÂ
âOkay..âÂ
You sit near him but not too near. You're unsure if he wants you close in this case. You never actually sat next to him without being in chairs. It was kind of strange.
Your stomach is blooming with nervous butterflies again, and your heart is racing at the idea of just being on the bed with him. Atsumu grabs the remote and pulls you out of your daze.Â
âAny picks?âÂ
âUm... maybe a comedy?â Heâs a little taken aback by that choice but then shrugs, a casual smirk returning.Â
âComedy it is.âÂ
He picks a random movie, and settles into his spot comfortably. On the other hand, youâre tense in yours, and perhaps a foot or so away from him.
âWhat are you so nervous lookin' about?" Sumu nudges.
âYouâre not gonna bite me?â You joke, and he laughs, easing your anxiety quickly. You make an excuse to shuffle a little closer to him as you move into âcomfortâ as well.Â
âUnless you want me to. No," he says jokingly. You quiet, a blush forming. Just like how you sit beside another in the chairs, your knee is nearly touching his, but without a sort of barrier.. this feels almost closer.Â
The movie starts and you side-eye him, watching as his attention is on the TV. You look away and attempt to mimic. He does the same once you focus ahead, examining you for more than a few before averting. The movie is quick to make you both snicker in your seats. Still, for almost half an hour, youâre struggling to pay attention, youâre just so focused on how he feels next to you. Safe and.. warm.Â
He leans in a little closer. You fail to notice and yawn. He blinks down at you, moving back. âTired?âÂ
You mumble âA little bit.âÂ
âWant me to pause it for now?â He waits for your answer and your lips purse. If you say yes he might leave, you canât waste this moment on tiredness. Heâs right, itâs Saturday tomorrow, you can relax all you want then.Â
â(Y/n).â He calls and youâre still lost in thought.Â
Suddenly his fingers gently turn your chin, and when you blink back to reality, heâs very close to you. Heâs so pretty too.
After a second or two you instantly pull back. âOh, sorry, yes⌠you can do that.â He nods and pauses it. For some reason, his expression is a little defeated, but you're not sure why. He stands up and you know where this is going.
âItâs getting late, so.. time for me to go home.â He fakes a stretch and you nod.Â
âIâll walk you out.âÂ
Before he leaves you call out to him. âHey..â
âLetâs finish that movie okay?âÂ
He smiles at that.Â
Over the next few weeks, the same still repeated. You hung out a little more, but it was nothing too different, just small closeness and intimate lunch moments for 30 minutes. Though lately you find yourself confused and saddened when he refuses to come in. Heâs politely said no to your mother nearly all of the time now.Â
âDoes he like me, Mom? What do you think? Why wonât he come in?â You anxiously groan, pressing your hands to your face at the 20th imaginary scenario that plays.Â
âIâm sure he does sweetie, I just think he needs some time to think about it.â Sheâs washing the dishes while you groan.Â
âThink about if he likes me? If he has to think about it, doesnât that mean he doesnât?âÂ
âNo, that doesnât mean that.âÂ
âThen what does it mean?âÂ
She sighs a little.Â
Before you were always quiet about the details, embarrassed even, but now you are so frustrated and scared you just wonât stop talking.Â
Did you do something wrong? No, you still ate lunch together most of the day. He still walked with you after volleyball, (even if occasionally heâs been making more excuses). So what was it?Â
Atsumu was more than a little disappointed after that day at your house. He finally made a move, and you were not the slightest bit interested. After all that time together he thought maybe youâd reciprocate, at least a tiny bit. You mightâve still thought of him as a bully which was a sucky thought, even if fair.Â
He loses focus in practice today, setting a little too high, a little too low, serving into the net, and sometimes missing completely. That was completely new for him, and he had to say, it blew more than he thought.Â
âHey,â Osamu points at him. "You set way too high there this time. One more mess up and you owe me."
Atsumu groans loudly.
âWhy are you so mopey lately?â Michinari asks.
âHe thinks he blew it with his crush,â Osamu answers and his twin nearly kicks him in his side. Shinsuke walks behind them, and the aura alone is enough to make them stop fighting.Â
Hitoshi gasps as if Atsumu being in love is so uncharacteristic. âYou have a crush?!âÂ
Rintaro rolls his eyes. âJust talk to her.âÂ
Aran pats the setterâs shoulder. âJust proclaim your love man, itâs a whole lot better than overthinking.âÂ
âWhatâs the worst that could happen?â Shinsuke asks, completely oblivious. âIf she doesnât like you, then it just means you can move on and not have to worry about it anymore.â Although painfully realistic, it strikes something in Atsumu.
His expression shifts and he nods firmly. If you declare you donât like him, then the ache in his chest will move on and he wonât have to deal with this anxiety anymore.Â
This was it then, this was going to be the day he asked you.Â
Practice runs a little later than usual and he makes sure to run out as fast as possible to see you walking kind of mopey. âHey, (Y/n)!â Atsumu calls to you, making you rotate.Â
Your eyes instantly lighten, and you grin. âSumu!âÂ
He returns the smile. âPractice good?â He asks.Â
âIt was good! It was good. Iâd say I can teach you some things now.â You lightly jab, poking him.
He scoffs, âOnce you finally receive my serve, Iâll think about it.â
His hand mockingly pats your head to measure the height difference, and you pout, face a little pink. The rest of the walk is filled with both of you play-fighting with each other and teasing until you reach your house.Â
Youâre silent, shuffling as to delay the inevitable.
âSo.. do you want to come in..?â You ask, a hopeful trail at the end of your word. Youâre sure heâs going to say no.Â
âYup, I can do that today.âÂ
âThatâs o- wait-â you gasp, âreally?!âÂ
He smiles, enamored at your excitement.Â
âIâm free all night.âÂ
Butterflies are shooting, and youâre secretly hopping as you open the door.
âWelcome ho- oh! Atsumu! Itâs been so long, how are you?â Your mother greets.Â
âEvening miss (L/n), just been busy is all.â Atsumu is politely smiling and you dazzle. Â
âIt happens. Dinner isnât ready, so you guys can do your work and Iâll call you after.â Â
You nod, and he does the same before you bolt off to your room.Â
His heart is probably stammering faster than yours now.
âWant to finish that movie?â You ask gleefully.Â
He chuckles and answers, "really? No workin' today?"
Seeing it as a rejection, you canât help but slump in defeat, instantaneously frowning. The scene breaks his heart a little and he rushes to respond with better words before you cut him off.
âNo- we can, I just thought- maybe- well.. yeah- never mind. After though?â Youâre staring at him with big eyes, and he is smiling sweetly again.
âUnless you have to go after, which is fine, thatâs okay.â He shuts you up by placing his hand on your arm, and you blink up at him through your lashes so prettily it makes him hold his breath.Â
âYes, thatâs fine.âÂ
Quickly nodding, you impatiently sit down at your desk and gesture for him to do the same.Â
âListen (Y/n)..â Atsumu has a tone in his voice that sounds serious, maybe scared, and you turn, pursing your lips. A sudden nervousness washes over you.Â
âYeah..?âÂ
When he sees your sad expression he zips his lips. âNothing, never mind.âÂ
âOkay..â you say, unconvinced. He takes a seat next to you, and a blush dusts your cheeks. You really miss this.
Eventually, it becomes comfortable again, and you're pointing to your phrases and looking to him for advice. Truthfully it was sort of an excuse to keep talking to him before he might leave in a few. "Is this good?" You ask.
"Yup." He'd say, and then purposely you'll talk about grammar or other subjects to get him going. But today he wasn't really responsive, he looked tense and felt strange. He was fidgeting, which is never much his thing, and half the time he wasn't working. When you turn to him, his eyes are always lost in thought, contemplating blankly while his pen is unmoving.
You'd occasionally ask, "Are.. you okay Sumu..?"
"Hm? Oh, yea, I'm good." He'd shake himself out of the strange fixation and get back to work like nothing happened.
Your heart falls a little. Maybe he just doesn't want to hang out with you.
"Um.. listen.. (Y/n)." He finally turns to you after a long hour of silence. His tone is more serious again, and you're terrified he's going to say what you hope to not be true. You wait for him to talk, but your patience is thinning as he opens his mouth, closes it, opens, and closes, and you spit out, "Do you want to leave?"
"Wha- no no, it's um.." He clears his throat and he presses his hands together.
"I.. like you (Y/n)."
It takes a second or two before the words sink in, and you're frozen. What?
As in platonic right? Or..
Heâs desperately searching for your reaction, waiting to see either reciprocation or disgust. Your mind is rushing for what to think but it's empty. His stomach starts to drop when he doesnât receive a reply, and he assumes that means denial. His body sinks and the disappointment is clear in his face.Â
The silence is disturbed by a shaky inhale. You ask, âWhat⌠do you mean?â
Atsumu opens his mouth to speak but keeps it slightly agape, his gaze glued to you.Â
âLike.. love, (Y/n). I love you.âÂ
He's aching to see any clear expression again and your eyes widen in surprise. You feel weightless, there's an explosion in your head and you're unable to think.
"I.." he's holding his breath as you sputter nervously.
"I um.." he's nodding, biting his lower lip and waiting impatiently.
"I.. love you too.."
He's now mimicking your past emotions, and it goes quiet.
You start, "So.. does that mean..um.." you're mumbling now, too anxious to finish the question.
"You'll be my girlfriend?" He asks, and you twinkle up at him. His eyes look so vibrant even in the dim lighting, and his hair falls a little at his face. You move to shyly brush it back, pushing closer to him.
He takes this as a move, and suddenly his lips are pressed into yours. You're frozen for a moment but ease into it quickly. It's like fireworks went off in your brain, and you answer a breathless "Yes," as he pulls away.
âIâm glad..â Atsumu finally lets out a small laugh, and you share in it, your face a fuming pink.
"Do you.. want to finish that movie now?" You shyly ask, and he nods, grinning.
Your bodies are huddled close to each other, his arm wrapped around you. You're leaning into the warmth as the light from the TV flickers. A lingering smile is shared and you turn to him. Your eyes meet and you're already instinctively moving. A kiss is shared again, this time longer and deeper. Your breath hitches when it ends, but you're smiling, and so is he. Hearts softly thumping against one another.
This is finally the peace you wanted.
