Work Text:
Atsumu woke up feeling a bit down, he didn't understand why he was acting this way, it had been some time that felt like a nubline was covering him. Despite feeling down he went on with his day, a little more slower than usual but enough to not make him overwhelmed with everything.
He slowly got up and did his bed meticulously, he opened his blinds half way up, going to the bathroom to look at him and washing his face, he looked a little too much at his face, glancing at all the pores, moles and the scar he got when he was a kid from jumping of a little roof they had close to his house, it wasn't really visible it was in his cheeks, he smiled at the memories he had, but started washing his face since he didn't have time, he had to go to work.
He washed up and went to take a warm shower, to ease up his muscles.
After doing what he needed in the bathroom he went to drink his tea of wild fruits, it was his favorite for when he was not in such a good place mentally.
He sat drinking his tea and looking at the news, he saw a article about the idol Sakusa Kiyoomi, it was an interview he had, Atsumu knew who Sakusa was of course, he was really famous and he totally didn't had a huge crush when he was at his first year of high school when Sakusa debuted.
Atsumu remembers when Osamu and Suna were always teasing him about him while Kuroo would laugh and Bokuto would relate to him because Sakusa was indeed really pretty.
He couldn't exactly deny that Sakusa was handsome and pretty, and extremely hot with his hair slicked back and… ”yeah let's not go there scratch that” Atsumu shakes his head and keeps drinking until he hears his alarm ringing for him to get out of the house, he curses under his breath just from thinking that he will be late.
He goes straight to his room getting his white bag, and putting the necessary inside, he looks at the mirror imputed in the closet and tries to make his hair pleasantly good and runs right out of the house. He enters the elevator when he bumps into someone, he shrugs and apologizes right away bending almost 90 degrees, enters and clicks on the level he gets out.
He picks his phone making a call to Kuroo. After a few rings he answers.
“Oi, where are you? we just got here.”
“Im stepping out of the house, i didn't saw the time”
“What were you doing to be so invested that you didn't see the time? Were you perhaps looking at your lover, hm?”
“What- what lover Kuroo i literally don't have one”
“Oh did Sakusa break up with you, so sad”
“SAKUSA IS NOT-” he screamed angrily and stopped remembering that he was in an elevator with another person, he looked to the side and instantly whispered.
“he's not..that okay? Stop talking bullshit i'm going to my car right now, see ya”
As he said the last sentence the elevator got at his level and he quickly got out, he enters his car and goes to the restaurant, the path was particularly good with atsumu listening to kpop and doing the dances every time it was red, finally he arrives, and gets all his things after parking and enters the place.
“Look who it is, the piss hair” Kuroo says smiling and walking to his direction and is invited with an almost punch but he swerves and just puts one of his arms around his shoulder while walking to Osamu.
“You know one day u will be beaten and i'll be there to beat u more” as he says and Kuroo looks extremely offended and just pushes him while laughing.
“Yall are so childish for fucks sakes-” Osamu doesnt look at them directly and keeps preparing the food, after they eat and talk a lot, Atsumu thinks about this moments with a founding smile, he looks at the hours and says goodbye since he has a part time job to go, he walks to his car and drives to the cafe he works “Summer breeze” and enters after parking, he says hello to his colleagues and goes to the storeroom to change and goes to the mini stage they had and started preparing his guitar.
When everything is prepared he goes to the counter and starts taking orders and serving. When it's 5pm he goes to the stage and starts singing some songs he prepared. Everyone was listening attentively and looking in awe at Atsumu.
Atsumu loved singing, since he was little he had a passion for music, he started singing with 7 years, he started playing guitar and piano when he was 10 and never stopped since then, he wanted to do his life with his songs but unfortunately he couldn't since his parents didn't had enough money for him to perform to a
company but they were always supportive, after awhile Atsumu didn't really have hope to keep singing but still did occasionally, when his boss saw him singing one time after the closing time she saw the talent and asked him if he wanted to sing/play every thursday in the cafe, that's how he ended up like this, it was good for him since it brought all the hope he had lost, so he was grateful for kita-san bringing and being there at the time to offer him the chance to motivate him even though he totally didn't know what happened.
So with all the courage Atsumu could gather he started making a speech about the next music he would sing.
“Today i'll sing a song i wrote when i was 15 of a person i admired, he was the first to help me begin to write songs, thank you for being my first and only love, even though we never properly talked you still managed to be engraved in my memory. I hope you like it..”
Am i allowed,
To look at him like that?
Could it be wrong,
When he's just so nice to look at?
While Atsumu sang he didn't notice a pair of eyes looking at him, he was in love with the fondness in the voice of Miya, he looked at him still in shock.
He smells like lemongrass and sleep
He tastes like apple juice and peach
You would find him in a polaroid picture
Atsumu smiled widely thinking “he is in a polaroid picture..”.
And he,
Means everything to me..
The memories flooded atsumu memories, he didn't like remembering those times because it wasn't all that great, his high school was a lot more stressful than Osamu and his friends saw, but he never told neither wanted to, but the memories with Sakusa Kiyoomi were always welcomed in his mind, even if they were never close, or that they were always bickering each other, Atsumu couldn't help but love the little parts of kiyoomi and feel accomplished after a long day if he saw him just a little bit, it was a silly love story but it was his love story.
Id never tell,
No id never say a word
And oh it aches,
But it feels oddly good to hurt
Atsumu started tearing up thinking about the memories but still kept singing.
And i'll be okay, admiring from afar
Cause even if he's next to me,
We could not be more far apart
Cause he tastes like birthday cake
And story time and fall
But to him,
I taste like nothing at all..
Sakusa was petrified looking at atsumu, how he could be so pretty after so many years, after all he still was the boy he fell in love with in high school, the loud boy and sarcastic, the boy who went quiet when no one was looking, the boy with piss blonde hair he fell in love.
Atsumu noticed Sakusa in the end of his song, he was shocked and thought he was hallucinating but no..it was really him, the one he wrote this song about, so to end the song he looked at kiyoomi and sang the last phrase.
He means everything to me.
Everyone congratulated Atsumu while he still looked at sakusa, both of them looking at each other trying to capture every movement they did, not wanting to miss anything, it felt like hours that they looked at each other, when atsumu had to break the eye contact to clean his things in the stage, so he bowed and took his things to the storeroom.
While he was there he started panicking thinking what sakusa would think or say about the song, it's not like he knew it was about him right?.... right? God he was so fucked up. He was so entranced in his thoughts that he didn't notice someone knocking on the door, just when they opened.
“Excuse me for the intrusion..”
Atsumu looked at the door and went wild he didn't say anything nor moved, he was in a total panicked state that Sakusa started worrying that he killed the poor man, when Atsumu finally came back he whispered so quietly that if Sakusa wasn't close to him he wouldn't have heard anything at all.
“It really is you..”
“Oh! Uhm..did u not want that it would be me?” Sakusa was clearly nervous and atsumu almost hit himself for worrying him.
“No..no! I was just shocked since we hadn't seen each other for a long time..” Kiyoomi didn't say anything and just nodded in comprehension.
“Was..the song u know..about me? Not that i am implying it really was but your speech before u sang was a little—”
Atsumu started laughing nervously before saying yes, both of them went quiet immediately trying to absorb all the information, it's not like it was a bad thing, both of them liked each other, but were too shy and scared to do anything at the time, so now Sakusa wanted to do it right.
“Miya, i really like you, since we were teens, i never knew how to approach you neither knew how to cope with all the feelings you gave me, so i probably hurt you, i am extremely sorry for that but i promise you that it won't happen again, i want you to be happy, preferably with me so..Atsumu, would you go on a date with me, so we can make things right this time?”
Atsumu was crying, he never thought this would happen, he thought it was just a one sided love until now.
“Yes, omi I would love to go on a date with you.”
They smiled at each other before hugging and sighing, the first touch they shared ever, their love was genuine but they were too young to understand how it worked, but now? Well now both of them are on the right track to make things right.
Memories of a sincere love and a true love, only the universe knew how they would end up, and they prepared all the best for both of them.
