β...suna?β
the heartbreak in osamuβs voice was clear to everyone in the room, but most of all to his brother.
though they hadnβt been close in such a long time, atsumu believed he would never forget his twinβs idiosyncrasies and the meaning underlying his words, no matter how far they drifted.
most of the members were likely to conclude that osamuβs heartbreak was coming from meikoβs obvious betrayal but atsumu knew better. meiko was a part of it, yes, but suna had been stuck by the twinsβ side since birth and that was a bond that went deeper than any temporary girlfriend.
as much as he didnβt want to admit it, that hurt. the fact that osamu showed blatant pain from sunaβs dramatic reveal but hadnβt shown an ounce of care as atsumu floated further and further away, stung.
they were brothers but they were also twins. they were supposed to stick together no matter what and yet...
a large, warm hand was placed on his shoulder while a smaller one weaved its way into his. when he finally took a moment to glance to his sides, he found sakusa giving him an encouraging tilt of the head and you, his angel, holding his hand tight.
you had no idea how much you meant to him, how deep his care for you ran. you didnβt know how just your presence alone soothed him in his darkest moments. how, since meeting you, he slept well at night with your face floating through his thoughts and dreams. how he hoped and prayed that you would eventually reciprocate his feelings one day.
if youβd heard his thoughts, you would absolutely call him a sap and he wouldnβt disagree. after all, it was you who made him that way.
β-ou told me you broke up with them, meiko. what, what the fuck is this? youβre dating osamu?β sunaβs irritated voice jolted atsumu from his simping sappy mind and back into the present.
suna was squared up with meiko who seemed to be just as furious, while osamu stood behind the two of them at the island in shock.
βyou knew what you were getting into suna, donβt fucking lie!β her manicured hands found their way to his chest before shoving him back into the living room. hard.
in an instant, yachi was standing in front of meiko with a righteous fury burning in her eyes. βgo the fuck to your room. now. everyone else, you too. i have some calls to make.β
the authority in her voice had everyone scrambling, you wrapping atsumu up into your arms one final time before heading off with kenma and oikawa. suna shot the twins an apologetic smile while trailing behind their livid manager to her office.
in only a few moments, the room was empty, leaving the brothers alone in a stifled silence.
after a minute, atsumu finally opened his mouth to speak. βso. meiko, huh?β the attempt at conversation was absolutely pitiful but it managed to make the both of them laugh despite the heaviness in the atmosphere.
the lightheartedness left almost as soon as it appeared, the pair falling back into a contemplative quiet. βi- ya promised nothing would come between us,β atsumu whispered, his eyes growing glassy, against his best efforts. βwhat happened?β
osamu didnβt have an answer to that. he was meant to be the older twin and while that shouldnβt hold that much weight, it did.
he would never forget the day heβd given atsumu his word, the memory holding firm in his mind as though it happened yesterday.
the two of them had been so excited for their first official summer camp at the ripe age of 7 years old, happy to spend time away from their grandmother in, what they believed to be, an extended sleepover.
atsumu was bouncing off the walls with enthusiasm while osamu had been more reserved, determined to take care of his younger twin just as his grandma told him to.
after the first day of camp went by so swimmingly, osamu was starting to think he wasnβt even needed by his brother, especially after seeing him at lunch surrounded by girls and boys both fawning over him. atsumu was doing just fine on his own it seemed and there was no reason for him to stick around.
that all changed that night when osamu heard atsumu yelling for him from his bunk. the older twin raced over and climbed up into his brotherβs bed, holding him close as he cried from the thunder booming outside their cabin window.
βnothing will get in between us tsumu,β osamu had murmured while rocking atsumu back and forth, βnot the wind, not the rain, nothing.β
after that, their relationship was stronger than ever, the twins coming to one another for any and everything. their trust had grown so solid that osamuβs promise continued to hold true throughout the years, to the point where one was rarely seen without the other.
somehow, though, that trust had been broken in an instant, just because of one woman and it, for lack of a better word, sucked.
βi care about ya samu, ya know i do, but i canβt let ya mistreat or disrespect my best friend like that anymore. i love ya and i love her too. donβt make me choose,β atsumu before moving towards the stairs, his eyes never leaving his brother.
osamu was frozen in place, the image of atsumu that heβd painted with the help of meiko washing away to reveal his independent, assertive, kind, and caring brother whom heβd entirely lost sight of.
he couldnβt even imagine what atsumu saw when he looked at himβhe didnβt think he wanted to know. all he did know was that he was no longer worthy of the title older brother, and he hadnβt been for a long time. osamu needed to become someone his brother could look up to again, someone new, someone better.
βiβm so sorry atsumu, i-i can be better,β he resolved, taking a step closer to his twin. atsumu just gave him a sad, worn smile, tiredness and disappointment written all over his face.
βbe better osamu. iβll be waiting.β
β poker face
be better
