part I - morning surprises

okay I’m a bit impatient so I’ll post the first part of the msby au. happy reading guys

It was just like any other morning in the MSBY household.

“Take that!” Atsumu shouted.

“No way!” Hinata screamed back, “You haven’t seen my fireball attack yet!”

“I can counter it with this new attack!”

“Wait what- When the heck did you even get that?”

The sound of rapid movements and shouts echoed in the living room.

Bokuto was sitting on the couch watching the two play.

Sakusa however was the only one preparing breakfast.

“Atsumu’s gonna win!” Bokuto shouted in excitement.

“In his dreams!” Hinata said.

Sakusa sighed from the kitchen: “How do they have so much energy in the morning?”

He wondered if they actually went to sleep last night because he was pretty sure, he heard those same controller clicks at three in the morning.

With annoyance in his voice, Sakusa called them: “Breakfast is ready!”

Bokuto immediately ran to the kitchen, moving all the plates onto the dining table.

However, the sound of rapid controller movements was still the only thing heard.

“I said breakfast is ready!” Sakusa tried again.

Still, no movement from either Hinata or Atsumu.

As volleyball players it should be a given to have proper, balanced meals and that is why Sakusa was even more annoyed that he was ignored.

As he stomped into the living room, he unplugged the TV from its socket.

“HEY-“ did Hinata and Atsumu scream simultaneously.

“For the third time. Breakfast. Is. Ready. If I have to call you guys just one more time-“ but even before Sakusa could finish his sentence, he was interrupted.

Everyone’s eyes grew wide at the sound of a crying baby.

Bokuto turned to the rest in the living room wondering if he was the only one hearing that noise.

Sakusa listened carefully, walking towards the source of noise. His feet brought him to the front door while the other three stood right behind him as he opened the door.

And there it laid.

A crying baby in a cushioned cardboard box, covered with a blanket right on their doorstep.

“Oh my god...”

masterlist

That afternoon the whole crew went out with baby Aki to buy basic baby necessities such as a crib, toys, diapers, food and infant-friendly soap.

In addition to that, it was also decided that she will stay in Bokuto’s and Hinata’s shared room since the two seemed to get along with the baby the most.

But her cries at four forty in the morning causes Bokuto to rethink the entire situation.

“Shh, it’s okay,” he whispers in vail.

Hinata also wakes up, yawning: “is she hungry?”

“No, we fed her already.”

“Maybe she needs to burp?”

“Don’t think so.”

Then it hits them. The two make eye contact with each other.

“No way,” they say at the same time.

Bokuto slowly lifts Aki’s butt to his nose and inhales.

He cringes at the smell.

“Yes way.”

“Did you grab the diaper?” Bokuto whisper-shouts at Hinata in the bathing room, where they set up the changing station.

“Yes! And here are the wipes,” Hinata runs with the necessities in his arms.

Aki is laying on the changing station, still with a dirty diaper but fortunately she isn’t crying as violently as she was before. But the whimpers and sniffles here and there seem to break out into another crying spree any minute.

“Here,” Hinata says, handing Bokuto a face mask, “I took them from Sakusa.”

They both put on their masks and rubber gloves before getting to work.

“Where is the...,” Boktuo mumbles.

“The strap is here,” Hinata points, holding onto the velcro that keeps the diaper in one piece.

He looks Bokuto into his eyes: “are you ready?”

Hinata takes his shaking head as a yes.

⧏⧐

After who knows how many minutes of gagging and cringing, Aki is clean and happy in a new diaper while Bokuto and Hinata celebrate their victory.

“We did it!” they shout, high-fiving each other with their elbows instead of their poop stained gloves.

“What’s all the commotion abou-,” Atsumu stops once he sees the scene in the bathroom. Bokuto and Hinata wearing white surgical masks and blue gloves, a tons of diapers on the floor after many failed attempts and baby powder everywhere.

Atsumu tiptoes his way to Aki without a word, picks her up and puts her back into her crib.

“Please clean this mess before Sakusa wakes up,” he says, walking into the kitchen.

The two exchange heavy sighs as they put all the diapers in the trash back and cleaning themselves up.

After finishing the mess in the bathroom, they flop back onto their beds.

“We changed a diaper,” Bokuto whispers.

Before Hinata falls asleep, he asks: “how do even girls poop?”

Bokuto looks at him and raises an eyebrow: “The same we do?”

“So they just...,” Hinata trails off, “...do it?”

Bokuto nods: “Probably.”

Soon after, the two are sleeping...

Only to be woken up ten minutes later.

“What the hell?” Bokuto groans.

“Five more minutes please,” Hinata moans.

Bokuto stops the alarm: “How long did it take for us to change her diaper?”

“A good hour and a half. Breakfast is ready,” Atsumu says, walking into their room to pick up baby Aki.

“Bah!”, she shouts, smiling at the setter as she stretches her little arms out to him.

“Good morning, Aki,” Atsumu smiles back.

part II - light

“Um...”

The team stands by the front door, absolutely speechless.

“A Baby!”, Bokuto shouts, snapping the rest of the group back into reality as he picks up the wailing child in his arms.

Hinata lets out a little scream: “I don’t think you can pick up this kid!”

Meanwhile Atsumu looks down at the box, noticing a blue note sitting on top of the blanket.

“To whom this may concern”, he starts reading.

“I’m sorry for giving you this big responsibility but I’m just not ready to raise this child in the environment we are in.

Her name is Aki. It means ‘bright’ which I want her to see life. She should grow up happy and free but unfortunately that is something I can’t provide her with. She’s currently six months old and her favorite food are blended fruits. She laughs a lot for a baby her age.

I have to apologize again and I beg you, please don’t hate her. If there’s someone to hate then it should be me for giving you her so suddenly. Please provide this beautiful baby a wonderful life because she deserves it. She’s done nothing but make me smile but with each day I’m reminded that I won’t be able to keep that smile in the future.

Thank you a lot.

PS.: Please tell her that I love her so much.”

Atsumu sighs with a heavy heart before picking up the box and taking it inside.

Baby Aki has calmed down and is sitting on Bokuto’s lap on the couch. Her hazel eyes are exploring the new surroundings.

“What are we going to do,”Hinata says with worry, looking at the child.

“I think... we will have to raise her,” Atsumu says.

“What? How?” Hinata shouts, startling the infant, who covers herself back into Bokuto’s chest in fear.

“Atsumu, you know that we can barely take care of ourselves, right? How are we supposed to handle a baby?” Hinata adds.

“I think we should tell the police,” Sakusa states, “to report a missing child.”

“She’s not missing,” Atsumu explains.

The whole group looks at him and with sad eyes he tells them: “she has been abandoned.”

Everyone’s eyes soften at his words.

“We should provide her a home and raise her... For the sake of her mom,” Atsumu shows the note in his hand, “her mother loved her very much but the circumstances weren’t the best for raising baby Aki.”

“Her name is Aki as in ‘bright’?”, Hinata asks in a gentle voice. He kneels in front of her, tickling her feet.

Aki’s laugh echoes through the room, putting a smile on everyone.

“I’m sorry for scaring you, Aki,” he apologizes, booping her nose.

Bokuto smiles at the sight of the little bundle of joy in his lap laughing and can’t help but lift her up and down in his arms.

“Airplane! Woooosh!” he shouts as he lifts her higher.

Sakusa frowns at the sight of Aki.

“I’m still going to report her to the police but we can take care of her until they can find a family who’s ready to adopt her.”, he rationalizes, “There are a lot of couples who are ready for a child but aren’t physically capable of making one.”

His gaze lingers on the laughing baby.

“Honestly, I don’t think we can raise her for the rest of her life. Maybe just... for now.” Sakusa states.

Hinata frowns: “But wouldn’t that mean that one day...”

“... She’ll forget about us?” Bokuto finishes.

Sakusa gives them a small nod.

“Breakfast is getting cold. I’m going to blend some apples and bananas for her,” Atsumu says, trying to change the mood.

“Are you hungry? Do you want your vitamins?” Bokuto asks with a baby voice.

“Pah!” she laughs.
