Chapter Text
Atsumu was quiet as he got off the bus with his teammates. Everyone glanced at him with concern their setter was never this quiet. Osamu was about to talk to him when he spotted his captain shaking his head. Everyone decided to let him be.
Atsumu walked home with his brother and friend. The other two tried to get him to join their conversation. They even brought up that water is not wet argument. Something he always started a fight about no matter what. To their surprise, he didn't comment.
When they got to the twin's house Atsumu immediately headed for his room while the remaining pair headed to the kitchen. They both cast a worried look at his retreating figure.

Atsumu sighed as he put down his phone. He got up from his bed and headed over to his window. He opened it and stepped back as his best friend pulled himself into the room. The taller boy fell and yelped. He glared as the other laughed at him.
"Shut the fuck up. You didn't even try to help me," Said Ushijima as he got up.
"Well, I don't help dumbasses who come in through windows."
The other rolled his eyes at the faux blonde's remark. He dragged the bag (that Atsumu somehow didn't see-) to the bed. He sat down and pulled out chocolate fudge ice cream.
"Are you going to look at me all night or are you going to go get some spoons for us?" Atsumu huffed and glared at him. He flipped him off as he made his way to the kitchen. When he got there he saw his brother making out with Suna. He gagged.
"Ugh ew gross, can ya guys move whatever this is to yer room? Hell the bathroom even!" Said Atsumu as he grabbed two spoons from the drawer. Osamu rolled his eyes at him and was about to retort until he saw the look on his face.
"Jesus Tsumu ya look like shit."
"Yea? Tell me somethin' I don't know."
Suna leaned back on the counter and pulled out his phone. He talks without looking at him. "This doesn't have anything to do with your 'omi-omi' now does it?"
Atsumu froze and flipped him off before angrily making his way back to his room.

He walked into the room and slammed the door. He flipped onto his bed where Ushijima was laying on. Said person let out an 'oof' before looking at him with a raised eyebrow. Ushijima curled an arm around the faux blonde. The blonde nuzzled into his chest and the two laid there in silence.
"..."
"So...you wanna tell me why you were feeling down earlier?"
"..."
The olive-haired boy sighed as he carded a hand through his best friend's hair.
"I can't help you if you don't talk to me Tsumu."
"...He just said some things Toshi…"
"And that being…?"
The faux blonde groaned as he tried to roll off the boy he was on. The other hugged him tightly and tsked.
"Explain Atsumu."
Atsumu tensed and replied to him.
"You know how we had a training camp with Itachiyama?"
The other hummed as Atsumu gripped onto him.
"Well, I was just minding my own business when I saw Omi-Sakusa getting harassed by some guys. They were taunting him because of his cleaning habits- which was fucked up by the way." He got up and started pacing and moving exaggeratedly around the room. Ushijima sat up and picked up one of the spoons the other dropped. He opened a tub of ice cream and started to eat as he listened to the other rant.
"So I told them to back off and punched them-" Ushijima gave him an unimpressed look. "-Hey don't give me that face they deserved it. They left and only me and Sakusa were there. I asked him if he was ok and he glared at me. He walked away and I was about to leave him alone when I spotted his jacket on the floor. So I grabbed it and ran to give it to him."
Atsumu was frustratingly waving his arms around as he told the story. He turned around and pointed a finger at him "But ya know what he did!?"
The older shrugged and motioned for him to continue.
"He told me to leave him the fuck alone and to burn the jacket since someone as disgusting as me shouldn't touch him. Can you believe that!?"
Atsumu huffed as he calmed himself down before sitting down with his knees pulled up to his chest.
"I...just don't understand..what did I ever do to make him hate me so much?" Said the blonde as he teared up.
Ushijima put his tub of ice cream down and pulled him into a hug. Atsumu whimpered as he held onto him.
Ushijima wasn't the best with words but he promised one thing.
'I'm going to spike that idiot's head with a volleyball and you can't stop me Tsumu'
