#shoutout to ash and kendy for helping me come up with a name for the dog for this dumb post

a text from kiyoomi saying "Get home now." is always a little terrifying for atsumu, the few times it's happened. things have ranged petty disputes to kiyoomi crying.

but the last thing atsumu expected to see in his apartment is osamu asleep on his couch, curled up with atsumu's golden retriever, pochi.

atsumu glances at kiyoomi, who's standing in the kitchen with a deep frown.

"he's been asleep since I got here. which is when i texted you," kiyoomi answers atsumu's unasked question.

atsumu frowns to himself and rechecks his messages to see if he missed something from osamu. osamu shows up unannounced all the time, but only when he knows atsumu is home. and if osamu just wants to cuddle and play with pochi, he tells atsumu.

pochi looks up from her spot on the couch and wags her tail when she sees atsumu. the movement wakes osamu. pochi jumps off the couch, stretching before she runs to jump on atsumu.

atsumu scratches her ears but keeps his eyes on osamu. out of the corner of his eye, he notices kiyoomi leave the kitchen and go to their room.

"go get, dad," atsumu says to pochi, using the baby voice he loves to use with her. her tail wags. "yeah, go get omi. he wants to love you up." pochi jumps around a couple times before curling back up with osamu.

atsumu makes his way over and sits on the couch chair across from the couch.

"what's up?" atsumu asks.

osamu looks away. it's then that atsumu notices osamu's red, puffy face. "rin and I got in a fight," he says and scratches pochi's back. "he didn't," osamu pauses, clearing his throat. atsumu sees the tears welling up. "he said he didn't want look at me so I left." his voice cracks on the last word.

atsumu would normally hug his brother, but it looks like his dog has it handled. so, atsumu goes to the next step. "have you eaten?" he asks, already standing up.

"not hungry."

"sure you are," atsumu says and makes his way to the kitchen. "we'll eat. then we can talk about what happened. and then I'll kick rin's ass if he's in the wrong or I'll kick yours."

osamu watches atsumu, the tension melting from him just a little bit. "tell sakusa I'm sorry for showing up unannounced," osamu says softly.

"he knows," atsumu replies. he'll still relay the message when he brings some food to kiyoomi. his focus is on his brother for the moment.
