Chapter Text
Everyone pines over Atsumu with a healthy dose of oblivious Atsumu who is just so happy he and some of his best friends got chosen to be on the team.
Whenever someone got a call they were accepted onto the team, Atsumu was one of the people they called. First of all, Kageyama and Atsumu were some of the first to get finalized as part of the lineup, but Atsumu is the most vocally and physically affectionate out of the two.
The moment someone calls him or drives to see him to tell them, he just throws himself onto them and hugs them while showering them in praises, "You are so good at ___, of course you got it! They'd be stupid to not let you in!" And everyone gets a little warm and fuzzy inside because whenever Atsumu compliments someone, they always knows it's real.
He brings them to Onigiri Miya to announce it to Osamu, even though Osamu is casually just working a business, and throws a mini celebration each time because "You got on the National Team! You deserve a treat!"
Once they start practicing together, everyone knows they're a little bit f*cked. Atsumu is as dedicated as they come, pushing and pulling spikers and blockers easily as if he is controlling the court.
And goddammit, every time they do a good play, Hinata is welcomes by a solid hi-five before the younger man hugs him instead (Atsumu hugs best hugs). Sakusa is thrown one of those flirty and proud smiles that melts hearts. Aran is showered in all the praises and excited claps. Ushijima receives fist bumps and hugs. Bokuto lunges and tackles Atsumu onto the ground so his giggles fill the gym. They always gloat when it happens because they were the one to make him smile, everyone else can take a seat. They made Atsumu smile, basically married.
Komori, unable to spike, pouts when Atsumu doesn't direct any of his affection towards him. But, fear not because dumb Atsumu will stand next to him and playfully ruffle his hair and congratulate him on exceptional receives, which is just as good as anything else.
Kageyama tries to get more spiking practice in, and Atsumu's knowing look as he nods, the single pat on his head each time because of Kageyama's awkward nature and a sweet smile always makes him smirk at the others.
The first for Atsumu's attention and physical affection might be won by Suna, who just needs to saunter over and plop himself onto Atsumu's lap.
Atsumu's dumb self always worries whenever Suna does it, fussing over him because Suna is feeling down or just in the right mood, so he showers Suna with affectionate hugs and hair ruffles whenever Suna looks mildly unhappy. (The others say Suna looks normal but Atsumu always says, "No, today might be a bad day...") If everyone else gloats, with smirks or winks, Suna straight up brags to everyone about it. Atsumu and Suna, at Inarizaki, used to tap their knuckles against the other's shoulder, and they still do it. It isn't fair, hate them.
Atsumu is also too charismatic
for his own good. He gets invited to interviews all the time where people fight to sit next to him because if they do, he'll playfully tap their shoulder, whisper into their ear, or straight up laugh while holding onto them. He almost always gets invited (or forced) to interviews because is one of the most well spoken with Komori and Aran. Hinata, Bokuto, and Suna are invited a moderate amount because they are too energetic or too bored. Kageyama and Ushijima are always confused about what is happening, so they get paired with Atsumu a lot.
Basically, they just fight for who gets to be in an interview with Atsumu.
If a hashtag of their ship name becomes more popular (Akaashi helps keep tabs because he thinks it's funny), they will not stop bragging about it until Atsumu has to ask what's going on. No one will tell him.
TINY WAIST, THICK THIGHS, BUFF ATSUMU should be illegal, they all agree, while they watch him fit into clothes for photoshoots and modeling gigs. Just imagine all the fitted clothes that are customized to fit his assets and he will just not know why the h*ll everyone is looking at him like that. Legit, he just bounces over to one and they choke.
(Atsumu calls Osamu and Osamu always just laughs)
If that isn't enough, him with styled hair makes him look drop dead gorgeous when he looks at the camera with a dark stare. Like, WHY IS HE SO HOT?!
Sometimes, some of the members take pictures of Atsumu from the sidelines. Hinata, Bokuto, and Kageyama forget to turn off the flash. Ushijima and Aran don't do it because they are too busy admiring their friend. Suna, Komori, and Sakusa take the best pictures as if they are cameramen for the photoshoot. If the photoshoot is bad, they'll send in a few to the group chat and rant about how bad the actual photographers did (the photographers are usually fine but they notice the small details that make them p i s s e d and Atsumu never understand why).
(Suna and Komori blur some of their pics and send them in sometimes so the others can be jealous about how they can't see the perfect creation of Atsumu. Sadists—)
Whenever they win a big game, Atsumu invites people to his room so they can just play games and have a good time. He asks based on the order of who he sees first but they all claim it's the order of who did best during the game and flaunt their numbers.
Sometimes one will invite Atsumu out on a "date" and somehow, everyone else knows too and it's suddenly a group date or just a friend hangout. (When they see Atsumu smiling, they can't even bring themselves to say know. Whipped.)
They always try to show off to Atsumu with luxurious gifts and promises of grand adventure, Atsumu accepts the trips as long as he pays for himself and rejects anything that costs too much because "You need to be better with your money!" (They're all rich kids now, they can afford to splurge)
If someone insults Atsumu's plays in the middle of a match or after (language barriers are no problems because members are multilingual and if not, Bokuto can "sense they said something about Tsum Tsum!" or Komori "saw them give Atsu the side-eye earlier.")
When people try to flirt with him, Atsumu harem is always lingering around to see what will happen (to fight them if they hurt Atsumu once Atsumu rejects them) but usually, Atsumu ends up bragging about his friends instead because he is really proud of them and honored to be on their team. He calls them monsters a lot and when the others refer to themselves, they constantly call themselves the Monster Generation because Atsumu says it.
Everyone else is tired of their shit.
