Rumors, rumors, and rumors.
“Have you heard that Hinata-kun is dating Miya-san?” A student said to another, while Shouyou walked in front of them.
“Which one of them?” asked the other.
“Atsumu-san!” The first student replied, before giving a disgusting look at Shouyou. “Can you believe that? So many pretty girls, yet he chooses that dumbass.”
Shouyou closed his fists, wishing he could defend himself. But there was a promise to be kept, and he wasn’t going to break it, just because of some idiots.
--
“Are you dating Atsumu-san?” The student that sat in front of him asked Shouyou.
He put a book in front of him, and pretended to be reading.
“I’m busy! I’m trying to study, sorry!” Shouyou frowned, and tightened his lips.
The letters were blurry, and he couldn’t even understand what he was reading. All he wanted was the comfort of Atsumu’s arms. But he needed to wait.
--
It was the end of the practice.
“I’ll catch up with ya, Samu. I have business to do before I go home!” Atsumu announced to his brother.
Osamu raised an eyebrow, wondering if the rumors that kept circulating around the school were actually true.
“Go! Yer afraid of walking alone, or somethin’?” Atsumu was getting impatient.
“O’ course not, ye idiot.” Osamu took a last glance at his twin, he was up to no good, he knew him too well.
In fact, every single day of that week, he ended up walking alone to their place. It was strange that Atsumu kept a secret for himself, but he would find out about it eventually. Especially if Atsumu ended up in trouble.
“See ya!” Osamu waved at his brother, and got out of the gym.

Shouyou rested his head on Atsumu’s shoulder, and got comfortable on his lap. It was so comfortable, and he felt safe being surrounded by his boyfriend’s arms. He could stay there forever.
“People are talking, Tsumu-san,” Shouyou whispered.
“I know, I know.” Atsumu said.
“You are not ashamed of me, right, Tsumu-san?” He couldn’t stop thinking about what that student said earlier that morning.
“Huh?” It caught him completely off guard. He had absolutely adored Shouyou since the day they met.
“Someone said that you could date prettier girls, and—”
“Stop.” Atsumu put his finger on Shouyou’s mouth. He stroked Shouyou’s back gently, and took a deep breath. “I want ya, Shouyou-kun. Only ya.”
As comforting as that sounded, Shouyou still had his doubts. However, it was time to go home, and he didn’t want to ruin the last few minutes that he had with his boyfriend. He just hoped that Atsumu was telling him the truth.
--
There were ten or fifteen minutes left before the first class started. Shouyou kept looking through the window, without paying attention to what was happening around him. He wondered if Atsumu would break up with him, so he could date someone else. That idea hadn’t gotten out of his mind since yesterday.
“Shouyou-kun!” A voice called him, from outside the classroom.
Shouyou immediately stood up, and when he looked up, he saw Atsumu waiting for him. Most people knew that they were teammates, but this was quite unusual. They didn’t talk to each other, except during, and after practice.
“Hurry up, Shouyou-kun!”
From the moment he stepped out of the classroom, Atsumu had grabbed him, and Shouyou didn’t have any time to react. In a blink of an eye, he realized that his boyfriend was kissing him in front of everyone.
Shouyou couldn’t listen to anything, or anyone, besides Atsumu. And the kiss was so out of this world, that he felt almost drunk from it. Damn it, Atsumu had every intention of making him fall in love with him.
“I hope ya have a great day, babe,” Atsumu said, as he went to his own classroom.
Was it embarrassing? A bit, Shouyou thought. But now, he didn’t have any doubts about Atsumu. His heart was jumping with happiness inside his chest. He was so lucky!
