@miyatsumu: did we do it right?
[The instagram post consisted of two photos and a video on the last slide. Tobio's Instagram handle is tagged on the back of Atsumu's phone.]
Photo one: a mirror selfie of Atsumu and Tobio with their phones out. Both adorned with clear cases to show the photo cards on the back. Tobio's lips formed into a pout as he stared into the camera, his titanium grey phone contrasting with the vibrant colours of the Atsumu photocard neatly placed in the middle.
The photocard was from MSBY's most recent comeback. A refreshing summer concept - their creative director had described. Atsumu's photocard emitted a boyish charm as he posed with a wink, rosy blush dusted over his face and a pompompurin band-aid cutely placed over the bridge of his nose as the finishing touch.
Next to him, Atsumu had one hand resting on Tobio's shoulder whilst the other held up his own phone. The back of the white phone framing a Tobio photocard - one that was deemed relatively sought after amongst Cour's fanbase. Since it currently held place as the most expensive priced Cour photocard to be listed on various second hand sites.
Said photocard was of Tobio staring straight face into the camera, a hand holding up a strawberry to his soft pink cheek and a yellow star shaped pimple patch stuck below his left eye. A metal clip in his hair, indicating that the photo was taken as he was getting ready.
Photo two: Another cut of the mirror selfie but with Tobio resting his head on Atsumu's shoulder this time, face still adorned with a pouty expression.
Video: It starts off with Tobio on the ground sitting cross-legged, a small square red box in his lap.
"This is what people do right?" Tobio asks as he holds the MSBY album in his hands and gives the top a few taps, "To like manifest?"
"I hope ya get mine, Tobio-kun because then we can match." Atsumu’s chuckle is heard from behind the camera as he shows off the Tobio photocard he pulled earlier.
"I'll show them to you first and guess who it is based on your reaction." Tobio off-handedly says as he flips through the photobook and pulls out the two photocards, shielding them from his view, "I want Hinata's though."
You can hear Atsumu squawk offendedly at Tobio's answer, "Why?"
"Because he's my best friend." The idol easily says, as if he was pointing out how the sky is blue.
"But I'm ya-" Atsumu cuts his sentence off as Tobio flips the cards towards him.
One of them is Atsumu and the other is Kiyoomi.
A smug grin forms onto the guitarist's face off camera as he places their photocard pulls side by side, not-so-secretly placing Kiyoomi's out of frame, "Looks like we're matchin! Better luck next time, Tobio-kun!"

[A two minute clip taken from Atsumu's latest Instagram live. He was joined by Shoyou, the two of them sat in the studio replying to comments.]
"Ocean Eyes is your favourite song from the album?" Shoyou reads, "Oooh, 'Tsumu loves playing it live."
"It's a good song 'ta relax the crowd," He says, "We love performing at 1000% but we gotta appreciate our slow songs too."
Shoyou hummed in response as he continues to read off the endless stream of comments.
"Huge smooch to whoever inspired Atsumu so we were given the masterpiece that is Ocean Eyes." He hears his bandmate let out a burst of laughter, "Nah, 'Tsumu's the jealous type."
Atsumu rolls his eyes, a pink flush warms his face, "A movie I watched recently gave me inspo for it."
"Oh yeah?" Shoyou grins, "What movie?" "
A western one," He says lamely, "I don't remember the name."
His bandmate hums again with a knowing smile before returning to read the comments, "Yeah, I saw a lot of the Tobio edits to it."

Running Man EP. 428 [Highlight] Cour Kageyama Tobio and MSBY Miya Atsumu wrestle with burning competitiveness! (3:17)
Running Man 1.55M | 1.6M views | 328k likes
Two groups stood on opposite sides of the frame. On the left, dressed in orange tracksuits consisted of Tobio, Koutarou, Ushijima and Keiji. Across them in all-black tracksuits was Saeko, Suguru, Daichi and Atsumu.
"Wrestling!" Sugawara read his queue card, "The person who topples over their opponent onto the mat wins a point for their team!"
"I think Daichi should do this one!" Saeko points at the actor's legs, "The man has thighs of steel, he's never gonna fall over."
"Wait!" Atsumu whines, "I haven't done any of the games yet, my screen time is suffering."
Daichi, the ever patient, looks over to his sulking teammate, "You wanna give it a go?"
"I'll win us like twenty points, don't worry y'all."
A soft murmur from Sugawara is picked up from his mic, "That's not how the points work," He then turns to the orange team, "Who's going up against Atsumu-san?"
" I feel like an easy win would be to pick Ushijima-san." Keiji looks over to the soloist.
" Do you really wanna win the easy way though, Akaashi-kun?" Atsumu taunts, "Seems like such a cowardly way."
"I'll go against him." Tobio volunteers and he steps onto the mat.
The MSBY member grins as he walks up to the idol. Atsumu and Tobio were around the same height, their eyes levelled to each other. The guitarist had a slightly more muscular build whereas Tobio was relatively more lean due to the consistent dance training.
"Be careful," Atsumu warns while the two get into the starting position, their arms interlocking behind the other's back, "We wouldn't want anything to happen to that pretty face of yours."
Tobio lets out a laugh against him as he places his chin on Atsumu's shoulder and mumbles something to him that is lost due to the mic rustling against their clothing.
"Okay ready… go!" Sugawara shouts.
The two tumble around the mat, trying to get the one another to fall over. The video cuts to various shots of their teammates cheering them on.
"Didn't know you could put up a fight, Tobio-kun." Atsumu attempts to swing them to the side to make the other lose balance.
Tobio grunts as he resists the weight with his legs, "I learnt karate and jiu-jitsu for eight months for one of my roles last year."
"Diligent as ever, you goody-two shoes."
The both of them continue to wrestle for another minute before Atsumu sees his opportunity for victory. He feels Tobio lose his footing causing him to stumble, as he is about to push their weight onto the idol, Tobio quickly reacts by hooking his leg around Atsumu’s.
His vision blurs as he spins and he feels his back land on the mat with a loud thud. He blinks a few times and once his eyes refocus they're looking upwards at a flushed Tobio. The lights of the studio shining above him, causing a halo effect behind his dark hair, Atsumu had the air knocked out of his lungs. Literally and figuratively.
"Twenty points to me then?" Tobio’s voice cuts through the noise of his heart pounding in his ears.
Once again he is reminded that Kageyama Tobio is really, really pretty.
“Yeah.” His voice softly mumbles in a daze.
He was broken from his trance when Koutarou picked Tobio up from his lap and brought him in for a congratulatory hug.
"Atsumu!" Suguru wails, the guitarist still unmoving on top of the mats, "What the hell?"

[ A thirty second clip of Tobio during a fansign. In his hands is his customised navy blue mic, a toy electric guitar is slung over his shoulder.]
“If all my favourite songs make me think of you, I’m gonna lose it.” Tobio sings MSBY’s song as he pretends to strum the instrument.
“Do you know how to play the guitar, Tobi-kun?” One fan asks amongst the crowd.
“A little,” Tobio answers, “Atsumu-san teaches me sometimes, if our studio schedules overlap.”
The chatter from the crowd grows louder at the information.
“He taught me C, D and E chords recently.”
“You would think he was the fifth member of Cour since he’s always there.” Kei jokes into his metallic emerald green mic.
“Don’t exaggerate.” Tobio rolls his eyes.

@tobio posted for the first time in a while.
@tobio: clearing the camera roll kind of photo dump.
[The Instagram post was a compilation of various photos. A few selfies, alone and with the group members, a food pic of curry, a photo of the Tokyo skyline. Situated in between these photos was one of a photo booth strip. The strip was a linear collage of four cuts, the fourth one left out of frame so only the first three were visible.]
In the photo strip was Tobio and Atsumu, dressed casually indicating they must’ve met up off schedule. The both of them had accessories on top of their heads, Tobio wearing a headband with a yellow felt crown and Atsumu with a Taiyaki hat.
The first cut had the two of them pressing their backs to each other, both their hands interlocking to mimic a gun - the remote visible in Atsumu’s hand, their lips pursed into pouts as they looked into the camera.
Second cut, they were shoulder to shoulder. Atsumu left hand in front of him, forming a half heart, his face expressing a look of betrayal towards Tobio, who had his right hand in front holding up a thumbs up next to the lonely half heart. A passive look on his face.
The third and last visible cut, their faces were squished together. Atsumu’s hand cupping Tobio’s face as he cutely frowned at the camera in contrast to the blond’s wide grin.

[The full photo booth strip can be seen in view, this time the final cut visible.]
In the final photo, Tobio and Atsumu’s faces are still squished against each other but this time Atsumu angles his head so his lips are pressed on Tobio’s cheekbone which is glowing with a pink hue, the corners of his lips tilted upwards to form a small but shy smile.
