Chapter Text
5 times Atsumu wanted to kiss Sakusa, and 1 time he actually did it.
.

One
First time he thought about kissing him was at All-Youth Training Camp.
When going there, he thought that he’ll be bickering with the other setters.
But when he did, he found himself glancing at a raven hair from afar.
Atsumu couldn’t see his face that much due to the male having to wear a mask.
Yet, that did not stop Atsumu from thinking that he looked handsome.
Sure, he can’t see his whole face but his eyes were dark and mysterious which made Atsumu intrigued into finding out about this man and who he is.
-
Not all people should be interested in such a quiet person. Most would just leave him be and ignore him but of course, Atsumu isn’t like most.
When he found out that he was Itachiyama’s ace and Komori’s cousin, he of course told Komori of wanting to meet him.
It took a lot of pleading, but to Atsumu, It was worth it in the end.
When both males met, Atsumu felt like he was perfect.
They had so many things in common even if they looked and acted so differently.
It makes Atsumu feel like he’s the person he wants to spend and cherish all his time with.
But alas, Those were crazy thoughts that only happen in movies and stories.
But when he sees Sakusa spike, Atsumu is here, thinking about those crazy things. And also, maybe, just maybe, wanting to kiss Sakusa, only because he looked perfect as ever.

Not all people are crazy enough to fall in love with someone in the span of four days. At least, that’s what Atsumu says.
Atsumu realized he literally fell in love with Sakusa the first time they talked.
Atsumu realized it when he felt butterflies in his stomach, and when he felt his beat faster than usual.
Well, actually, he realized it when he thought of kissing Sakusa’s moles which were on his top left forehead.
He realized that it wasn’t really a normal thing to think of. It wasn’t the tiniest bit.

Three
It’s been a week since All-Youth training and Atsumu is excited to see Sakusa again.
When he found out that he’ll be going to his school, his heart skipped a beat.
He was so excited to see him again. He was excited to play with him again.
When they finally arrived at Itachiyama, Atsumu instantly spotted the ace. He was sleeping.
Sakusa looked pretty when he slept, Atsumu would admit. But he’s confused on why he’s sleeping but he didn’t dare to ask.
-
After the match, Atsumu decided to sit down beside Sakusa, who’s still sleeping.
It was all normal until Sakusa leaned on Atsumu’s shoulder. It made Atsumu blush from the sudden contact.
"Well... This is eventful" Komori says, followed by a smirk. Atsumu knew well where this was going but proceeds to ask,
"Wha-.. Uh.. What should I do..?" He was panicking inside.
"Mm.. Let Kiyo sleep on your shoulders... I wanna see his reactions when he wakes up." Komori mumbles the last part.
'Let him? Let him? Let HIM?! OMI?!'
He panics at the thought.
"I-.. No.. Ya can't make me stay here with 'im on m' shoulder!" He whispers as he is trying not to wake Sakusa up.
"Why not 'Tsumu?" Suna made a smug look.
Atsumu knew what Suna and Komori were doing. It doesn't need a genius to know.
"Well, since there's no problem. We'll just bench you until Kiyo wakes up." Komori says and everyone agrees, and leaves him be with the ace on his shoulders.
'I hate my friends...'
Atsumu thinks. He looks back at Sakusa from top to bottom. Coincidentally, he ends up staring at the latter’s soft looking lips.
Atsumu wanted to kiss him right there and then but he shook it off. Atsumu didn’t want him to wake up due to the kiss, and he certainly did not want people smirking in the background, while also making him admit that he kissed Sakusa.

"Omi! Can ya practice with me?" Atsumu pleads. He wanted to spend time with Sakusa, surprisingly.
"Sure..." Sakusa mumbles, yet it was enough for Atsumu to hear, making him smile brightly. Atsumu thought he saw a blush in the corner of his mask, but he ignored it since for him, It was probably his imagination.
-
"Ne? Omi?" Atsumu says,
"Hm?" "Thanks fer helpin' me practice my sets" He thanked him.
"Oh... Uh-.. You're welcome..." "I love your quiet side, It's cute.." Atsumu mumbled without realizing,
"What...?" Sakusa asked,
Atsumu then realized what he said, he slapped his mouth and blushed.
"Uh.. I-.. Uh-... Forget about what I said!.. Uh.. Bye!" Atsumu said frantically and just ran out.
When he got to his room, He slammed the door and leaned on it. He covered his face with the palms of his hands and screamed.
He didn’t realize he said that out loud, he really wished he didn’t.

"Hey Omi-kun!" Atsumu said as Sakusa picked up the call he made.
"Hey Atsu" Sakusa answered.
"Hey Omi? I was wonderin' if I could come to yer place tomorrow?" Atsumu asks him, he really hope Sakusa would agree,
"Uh-.. Sure...?" Atsumu smiled, He couldn’t believe that he agreed!
"Yay! I'm excited! Oh!- I better pack my things. Well Omi, got to go! See ya tomorrow!" Atsumu told and both of them waved their hands in a symbol for goodbye, and Atsumu ended the call.
He was glad that he agreed. Gosh if he could, he would kiss him as a sign of thanks. But probably shouldn’t. It would be weird, he’s only met him for 2 months.
When he was about to pack, a notif popped on his phone. It was from his Omi.
| Omi-Omi: meet me in the park near my house at xxxxxx
Atsumu was confused,
| Atsu: ???
| Omi-Omi: I just wanna do something there…
| Atsu: Okay?
‘Well that was weird’
He thought, He closed his phone, and continued to pack for tomorrow.

"Omi! I missed ya!" He runs to Sakusa and the other hugs him tight "I missed you too Atsu.." He whispers.
"So why'd ya wanna meet here?" Atsumu asks as he breaks the hug. He’s confused
"Uh-.." He sighs, making Atsumu more confused, "Atsu.. Uh.. I kinda have something to say to you.."
"What is it?" He asks. He doesn’t know what he’s gonna say but he could feel his heart racing.
"Atsu.. Uhm.. I-.. I like you.. no- I love you." Sakusa stutters. Atsumu’s eyes widen
‘wha-..?’
"I have. Since the first time I laid my eyes on you at All-Youth camp. I have to admit, I've been trying to forget about my feelings knowing that you could never love me as quickly as I did with you." Sakusa rubs the back of his neck, "For a week, I tried forgetting about you, yet, It seems like I couldn't, making me have a lack of sleep the whole time. I guess I just couldn't help myself but love you and you only.."
Atsumu’s heart is pounding, If that’s even possible.
"I-.. I love how your hair matches your eyes. How you look stunning in every picture and in every match that it made me intrigued into watching all your games... I love it all. All of you.." Sakusa's dark, raven eyes looked at Atsumu's golden ones as he held Atsumu's hand.
Atsumu could feel blush forming on his cheeks,
"Atsumu.. I like you.. More than a friend.. I know, It's stupid" Sakusa chuckles,
‘It’s not…”
"This is all cheesy and all but, uh, I'm serious about it. I like you and.. I just want to tell you all that before you reject me right now.." Sakusa mumbles the last bit.
Atsumu is speechless, he didn’t know.
"I-.. Omi.. I didn't know that.. you like me..?" Sakusa chuckles,
"I tried to hide it as best as I can," Sakusa says.
"Omi-... I like ya too.. I, too, thought the same. I thought that ya would never love as fast as I did. I thought that you never would..." Atsumu chuckles,
It was true.
"Is this what a dream come true feels like?" Atsumu smiles as both of them make eye contact again.
Atsumu could see blush on Sakusa’s face. Suddenly, He realized that Sakusa’s lips were pressing on his own. It was a short kiss. It made Atsumu flush.
"God... That was bad... Kiss me longer." Both laughed and kissed again.
‘Finally’
Atsumu thinks.
