“I always feel too old or too young, Atsumu,” Kiyoomi whispers. “I’m always looking at something at a different time than my own.”
One of Atsumu’s hands makes its way to Kiyoomi’s nape, fingers scratching the undercut. Atsumu hums in thought. “I think it’s because ya spend a lot more time livin’ in your mind instead of your body.”
And suddenly, for the first time in his life, everything clicks. As if the backing of a device has finally slid into place, something that would act on bursts of energy is finally able to form a steady stream of thought.
He’s not sure how long his hand is splayed across his own chest, but he finds he doesn’t quite mind. Kiyoomi can feel the rise and fall of his chest with every breath. Deep breath in, deep breath out. It’s a simple action that loosens the knots in Kiyoomi’s body.
“You’re everything that made ya three, seven and sixteen,” Atsumu whispers. “And eventually, you’re gonna be everything that makes ya twenty-five, thirty, and fifty. Right now though, you’re everything that makes you twenty-three.”
A soft sigh leaves Kiyoomi’s lips, a breath he didn’t even know he was holding in. It seems so simple, straightforward, and Kiyoomi thinks that maybe that’s how it’s always been. If him being sixteen and in denial of his feelings would’ve gone easier had he known loving Atsumu was the same brand of simple and straightforward.
In a bout of bravery, and a smidge of playfulness, Kiyoomi places his hand on Atsumu’s chest. Before Atsumu can process what’s going on, Kiyoomi says, “Your heart’s beating really fast.”
Atsumu’s eyes widen and his face colors the prettiest shade of pink. “Wha– no it isn’t!” He splutters.
