Summary: A simple interview reveals that Hinata and Kageyama live in the same Olympic apartment building. The media immediately concludes they're dating. Unfortunately, every attempt to deny the rumor somehow makes it worse.
TW/CW: crack, olympic athlete AU, Atsumu discovers a new way to annoy Kageyama and refuses to let it go
a/n: this was a request! so fun to write, i had to make atsumu bully them a bit, i find it hilarious 😭
dividers by @uzmacchiato
Neither Hinata nor Kageyama notices when the article first comes out. They're too busy training. It isn't until the next morning that things get weird. People keep looking at them. Then whispering. Hinata notices first.
"Why is everyone acting weird?"
Kageyama shrugs. He doesn't care enough to find out. That changes when Atsumu nearly chokes on his sports drink after seeing them walk into breakfast together.
"Oh, this is priceless."
Immediately, Kageyama knows he's going to regret asking. "What's wrong with you?"
Atsumu turns his phone around. The headline reads:
'OLYMPIC VOLLEYBALL STARS REVEAL THEY LIVE TOGETHER'
Silence. Hinata squints.
"We don't live together."
"Tell that to the entire internet."
Kageyama reaches for the phone.
Atsumu jerks it away. "Don't. The comments are funnier."
The rumor should have died immediately. Instead, it grows. By lunch, there are fan edits. By dinner, there are compilation videos. By the next morning, there are entire social media accounts dedicated to tracking every interaction they've had since high school. The team finds this endlessly entertaining. Hinata finds it horrifying. Kageyama finds it infuriating.
Atsumu finds his new purpose in life. "Did ya know somebody made a timeline?"
"No." Kageyama replies smoothly. Like it doesn't affect him.
"Since your first practice match."
"What?"
"They included screenshots."
"What?"
"They used dramatic music."
"WHAT?" His eyes widen comically.
Across the room, Bokuto is watching one of the edits. "It's actually kinda emotional."
"STOP WATCHING THEM." Kageyama yells out in annoyance.
The next interview should clear everything up. It doesn't. The reporter smiles politely.
"So, we've heard you two are very close." She asks, maintaining professionalism.
Hinata laughs. "Well, yeah."
The reporter's smile grows.
Kageyama immediately senses danger. "That's not—"
"How often do you spend time together?"
Hinata starts counting. "Almost every day."
The reporter writes something down. Kageyama looks like he's about to pass out from frustration.
"That's because we're teammates." Hinata continues.
"Of course." The reporter sounds unconvinced. "Do you visit each other's apartments?"
"Yeah."
"Why?"
"Sometimes we eat together." The room goes silent. Hinata doesn't understand why. Kageyama closes his eyes.
At first, Atsumu only makes jokes around the team. Then he starts making them in public. This is a mistake. A reporter asks him if the rumors are true. Atsumu could end everything right there. Instead he says: "I support 'em."
The quote trends online within the hour. Kageyama nearly throws his phone into a wall. Atsumu is delighted. Every day brings a new joke.
"Hinata, yo husband is lookin' for ya."
"We're not married."
"Yet." Atsumu says with a shit-eating grin plastered on his face.
"We're not dating."
"Sure." His grin grows.
"We're not." Hinata denies.
"Whatever helps ya sleep at night."
The worst part is that nobody helps. Not Bokuto. Not Komori. Not even Sakusa. Sakusa keeps insisting they aren't dating. Unfortunately, he sounds exactly like someone covering for a couple. The internet loves him for it.
Eventually, the federation gets involved. The rumors are becoming a distraction. A press conference is arranged.
The first question is expected. "Are you two dating?"
"No." Hinata and Kageyama both deny simultaneously.
The second question is not. "Then why do you have keys to each other's apartments?"
The room goes quiet. Hinata and Kageyama stare at each other. "Oh."
Apparently that looks bad. The reporters begin typing furiously. Kageyama wants to leave. Atsumu is visibly trying not to laugh. Nobody survives the next day's headlines.
Weeks later, things finally calm down. The rumor begins fading. People move on. Then Hinata gets sick. Nothing serious. Just a cold. Kageyama drops groceries off at his apartment after practice. A photographer catches him carrying the bags upstairs. The picture is posted online. The internet erupts again. The headline the next morning reads:
'OLYMPIC STARS SPOTTED CARING FOR EACH OTHER OFF THE COURT'
Atsumu laughs so hard he falls out of his chair. Bokuto frames the article. Sakusa develops a migraine. Hinata screams. Kageyama threatens violence. And somewhere online, another fan edit is already being uploaded.
a/n: hope you guys enjoyed reading this as much as i loved writing it!
Wel it’s that time the anime hour is teasing tommorow Saturday with todays amv super excited
Now time has come I’ll be making a great fanfic coming Valentine’s Day special regarding my favorite yaoi sports series
Haikyuu!!! Which I’ll be making a beautiful romantic theme fanfic on Valentine’s Day❤️
I have so many products I’m working on along recording my songs on the radio this Wednesday on kvmr radio so here’s what I’ll be doing during my birthday coming up I’m going to lend to my superstars and the major fanfic movie is coming swell but need a lot of supports to read and subscribe my content
11 members, 11 posts about #Toh movie #Ao3 #ao3feed • WELCOME TO THE GRAND NEXUS, The Official page to the upcoming Special Toh project rele
May not have an iPad yet but working with what I got for good Amvs So you decide tumblr and let’s blast off unlock the topic with a key sip some tea with me
- Bokuto loves to see you at his games. He always invites you but understands that because of work it may be hard. Especially now that you share a one year old boy. That little one being as energetic as his father, makes it hard to sometimes travel with, which Bokuto understands.
- Being at an away game, 3 hours away from your home, you decided to suprise your owl husband.
- You sat on the front row of the top bleachers, hoping he will see you two. You had your son wear his MSBY #12 jersey.
- Every time the wing spiker superstar made a point, you will make sure to cheer loud and clear. Your son will clap his hands together and jump in excitment seeing his dad excited for his success.
- It wasn’t until he scores another point where he heard your voice coming from the loud crowd and looks up to see you and your son. He couldnt help but smile with his eyes gleaming in happiness. You quickly pick up your son to show him the matching jersey, and Bokuto had blush forming from his face, happy to see his mini-me cheering him on with his jersey on.
𝒰𝓈𝒽𝒾𝒿𝒾𝓂𝒶:
- He hates going to far away games. He completely hates leaving his family behind, which is you and your three year old daughter. He always tries to take you two with him, but at times can be difficult due to the differences in schedules.
- Being at a game far away from home, you decided to surprise him.
- Even though he was torn apart seeing that you and your daughter were not in the crowd cheering for him, he still gave it his all at his game.
- You arrived at the second half of the game, and was able to witness Ushijima roughly spike the ball to land a score. You and your daughter jump up and cheer on for him loud and clear.
- He hears a familiar voice, to where he turns to see both you and your daughter in matching #11 Schweiden jersey’s representing him.
- He felt proud and a bit emotional seeeing you two surprise him at his game being there to support him.
𝒦𝒶𝑔𝑒𝓎𝒶𝓂𝒶:
- The Schweiden team had a tournament 2 hours away from home. As much as Kageyama wanted to ask for you to go along, he felt not having the right to disturb your peace. He knew you were stressed with work and the 10 month year old baby you guys have. He decided to leave you two behind and had you wish him luck.
- You decide to surprise him at his game, knowing how much he wanted you there but couldn’t come up with the words to ask you. You know how considerate he is, which you love, but you try to work with him to speak his true feelings.
- There you were, with your chunky baby boy in a carrier, wearing his dad’s # 20 jersey. You as well wore your’s representing your famous setter of a husband. Your son also had a matching Schweiden bucket hat with the logo on it.
- As soon as the game went on a 10 minute break, you hurried to the lockers to see him. You couldn’t find him anywhere until you turn around only to gently crash into him. “Y/n?? Is that you?” He puts his hands gently on your shoulder to make sure it was you and if you were okay.
- You laugh assuring it is you. You then tell him to look, and he sees his baby with his matching jersey. He couldn’t help but feel a bit emotional to where he hugs the both of you, gently kissing your forehead and the baby’s as well.
“Thank you for being here. I love you.”
𝒜𝓉𝓈𝓊𝓂𝓊:
- Atsumu loves when you’re at his games cheering for him. He especially loves when you bring the twin boys to see their dad play the sport he loves the most.
- Due to the game being on a weekday, you both knew that the boys couldn’t miss school.
- Atsumu left on Monday with a huge pout. “Please come, I need you three there babe.” You giggle, giving him a kiss on the cheek. “Goodluck baby, we will cheer you on from home okay.”
- You decided to have the boys skip school and go to the game that was 3 hours away.
- The boys both had their dad’s matching jersey, with the big #13 on it. They were both very excited to see their dad play live. They always love seeing their dad play in action, he was a huge inspiration to them.
- You enter the stadium, just in time for the game to start. You decided to sit as closest as possible, where you were surrounded by a lot of fan girls. They were all wearing Atsumu’s number jersey as well.
- As soon as the game begins, the girls were already cheering for him, loud and proud. “THAT’S OUR ATSUMU!... WE LOVE YOU!!...” There was a point where the girls even made comments of how hot he is or how toned his body was.
- Your boys will look at them confused, and see your face of annoyance. “The only person that can love our papa is our mama.” The girls couldn’t stop squealing at how adorable your six year old twins were, especially knowing that they were his kids.
- Atsumu hears the commotion and looks to see you laugh. As soon as their break started, he quickly ran to you three and pulled you from the crowd. He hugs you three in so much happiness, happy to see you three there. “Babe! I can’t believe you guys came! OH MY GOSH! MY BOYS ARE MATCHING WITH ME!” The boys laugh showing off their jersey’s.
- “Thanks for being here baby. I love you three.”
𝒮𝒶𝓀𝓊𝓈𝒶:
- Your long term boyfriend always loved to keep you in the downlow. Never to the point where you were a secret, or where he was embarrassed of showing you off. Just where he loved to keep you all to himself, plus he was a very private man. Not that you minded at all.
- He never really asked you to go along to games, especially when they were far away. It wasn’t till last night where you noticed him a bit off. He wanted to ask you to bring your 4 year old daughter, and 1 year old son to go to the states to his volleyball tournament. But he decided not too, thinking it’ll be too much for you and the kids.
- You see him off and decided to pack your things and surprise him there.
- You arrive a day later, where the MSBY team succeeded to go on to the next level of the tournament.
- Both you and your daughter had the MSBY jersey that was black while the baby had his dad’s matching gold one, all with the # 15 on it.
- Every time the wing spiker made a score, you three will cheer so loud.
- He right away saw you guys and couldn’t help but smile and wave at you guys. Your daughter send blowing kisses to him where he sent them back. His teammates couldn’t stop melting at how adorable this moment was. Espeically knowing how conservative Sakusa is.
- As soon as the game finished, you three met him by the exit.
- “I cannot believe you came. How was the flight? Are you guys tired, hungry-?” You cut him off with a big kiss on the lips meanwhile your kids hug either side of his legs. He picks up both kids, seeing their jersey’s and kissed them both on the forehead. “What a great surprise.” You couldn’t help but take a quick picture of the sweet moment, making it your knew wallpaper on your phone.
- “Thank you honey, I love you.”
After thoughts:
• I thought these would be cute to write, where the guys see their own children wearing their jersey’s especially surprising them! See you on the next <3
So I wrote this, and mid-way, I realised that it has a similar concept to 'Forest of the Firefly Lights / Hotarubi no Mori e ' which if you haven't watched, I WHOLLY recommend you do!
JUST SAYINGGGGG (if you don't know the plot of Forest of the Firefly light), but the reader starts off older than the twins, but then since she's kind of stuck in time, eventually the twins are older than her
Anyways, enjoy :3
|| Masterlist ||
Okay...SO
You've been cursed by some witch to become a fox spirit
a kitsune essentially.
What did you do to be cursed like this, Y/N-chan?
today, it's absolutely sweltering
you're high in the canopy of the thick forest around you
you're leaning against the main trunk with one of your legs dangling and the other propped up on the branch
But even the shade couldn't help you from the humid air
fanning yourself wasn't doing much either
so relaxing wasn't really an option, especially when the cicadas around you are screaming at each other.
soon your pointed ears twitch at the tinkling sound of children's voices coming your way
not many children go this far into the forest and if they do, they couldn't bother you even if they tried...
no one can see you
no one can help you
You hear them long before you see them - two small brunette-haired boys coming your way, hand in hand, knees covered in dirt.
You subconsciously stop fanning yourself as you take a look at them
Brothers, you guess, they look exactly the same. Maybe eight, or so, years old
"Astumu~" one whined, "We're not allowed to go this far."
The other boy waved him off, "I won't tell if you won't, Samu. Don't worry." He says as he continues to lead the other boy
You sigh and turn your head away from the two and continue fanning yourself
You were tempted to take your mask off because of the heat, but you don't know what other spirits are lurking around
If the two boys aren't careful, another spirit will follow them home. They'll probably take one and leave the other in agony over the loss.
The spirits here were awful, sadistic even, but you couldn't leave.
Not until you break the spell
the only problem is... you don't know how.
"Oh...Pretty." you hear one of the boys say
you turn in their direction with pinched brows, wondering what they could possibly find appealing in this forest
but they're looking up in the tree you're in
you frown and then look above and around you
maybe there was a bird? you think, but you don't see anything up in the branches and you definitely didn't hear anything either
"Wahhh, yer right, 'Samu!"
You turn back to the two who are now standing at the base of the tree you're in
"Pretty Onee-chaaan!" One of them calls as he cups the side of his mouth
What?
He continues, "Howdya get up so high?"
Your eyes widen, They're looking at me! but then your brows furrow, Are they looking at me? you question yourself, Can they really see me?
"Ne~, can ya help us get tha' high, too, nee-chan?" One boy lets go of the other boy's hand and begins to climb the tree
He gets a couple of metres off the ground, but his foot slips
without thinking, you're pushing yourself off the branch and gliding down the tree
You sweep the small boy up into your arms, whose eyes have become glassy and his lips begin to quiver
you gently float and set him down on the ground
his knees collapse under him and he's glomped by the other boy in an instant
Not a minute later, he's wiping his eyes and nose, "Onee-chan!"He looks at you, honey-brown eyes sparkling, "Let's do that again!" He tugs at the sleeve of your kimono, "That was fun."
You look at him incredulously and so does his brother
"'Tsumu!" The other boy lightly punches him on the shoulder, "What do you mean? You just fell!"
The other boy shrugs with a cheeky smile
"What if it happens again, idiot?"
"Well, Onee-chan can catch me." He reasons and then turns to you, "You will, won't you, nee-chan?"
"I..." You don't know how to respond, "You...You can see me?" you ask in disbelief
The boy doubles over in laughter, "Wahaha, this nee-chan is so silly," He wipes his eyes, "Of course, we can see you."
For the next few years, they would come into the forest at least every other day.
You noticed little things about them, like how Osamu's eyes were a little more grey whereas Atsumu's were still that same honey-brown colour from the first time you met him
You also noticed things about yourself that began to change.
At first, your tails were beginning to shorten, until eventually, they disappeared
"Y/N-nee," 10-year-old Osamu tilts his head, "What happened to your tails?"
cue Atsumu asking where you hid them and reaching for the hem of your kimono's skirt which earns him a whack on the head with your fan and a smack on the stomach from Osamu
Then your ears shifted from where they were on the top of your head and the chirping birds of the cicadas weren't so loud and there was no longer the ringing in your ears when Atsumu would talk.
And it's then that you realise that Osami talks a lot softer than you thought and for once you were having trouble understanding him sometimes, especially as their accents began to thicken as they got older.
Eventually, your little snout stopped protruding and you were finally able to take your mask off.
The boys were speechless when they saw you
They were around your height now, around the age where you were cursed and at the age that you will stay until you break the curse.
"Hmm..." Osamu hums, "I was right the first time I saw you."
You look up at him, "Huh?" you tilt your head.
Then Atsumu is grabbing both of your hands, "Yeah, yeah, you're really pretty, Y/N-nee." He shoots you a dazzling smile
you shrink under their affectionate gaze and the heat is radiating off of your cheeks
But one day... They stoped coming
at first, you thought maybe they were on holiday, it wasn't the first time that they were gone for more than a week
that day, they seemed to be struggling to tell you something, so you ended up asking them straight, "Do you two have something you wanted to say?"
the three of you are seated under the shade of a sakura tree in a meadow within the forest - something that the three of you found together
They turned to each other and eventually, Osamu says, "We're going away for a little while."
Your eyes immediately turn downcast, "Oh..." but then you take a quick breath and put on a smile, "Okay."
"But we'll be back within a week." Atsumu grabs both of your hands in his, "I promise, Y/N."
You were now used to them calling you by your first name. Especially, now that they were technically older than you.
Osamu hums, "Mmm, we'll always come back, Y/N." he coughs and averts his eyes from your gaze, "I promise, too."
you let out a small smile at the pink rising up in his cheeks that he was trying to hide with his hand
you quickly enveloped them in a hug, one arm around each of their broad shoulders
"Ne, come back quickly." you say and place a kiss on each of their cheeks and say, "I'll be here waiting for you both." you squeeze them in your arms and then pull away with a smile, "I'll see you soon, then."
but then 1 week passed...
then one month...
and then one year...
Had they said those things that day to appease you?
Were they struggling to say it because they knew they were never coming back?
Because they knew they were lying to you?
You let out a whimper and curled your tails tighter around your body
even though you were in the den that you dug out, the winter is relentless this year
you nudge your mask with your pointed snout so that it covered your head, your ears and some of your body
you were small enough to hide under your mask from the cold
even with your fur and even with the discarded fabric of what was once your kimono, you shivered
I'm okay, you nuzzled further into the fabrics, I'm, I'm used to it, you think
and you weren't talking about the cold
that thought left a bitter taste in your mouth
and that bitterness festered inside of you for days on end
you look to the opening of your den with half-lidded eyes, looking at the snow that too quickly fades away into the blanket of white on the ground
Maybe if I slept a little longer, I, too, would fade away with the snow, come spring. Leaving only a shell in the shape of a fox.
When you wake, the snow is gone, replaced by pink petals of the sakura tree your den was under
you blink your eyes and yawn, letting out a small mewl
your rough tongue swipes at your wet nose and brushes against your whiskers
I'm hungry
you trod to the entrance of your den and stretch like a cat
but you stop and raise your hackles at the sound of branches snapping
"Y/N?" you hear a deep voice call
you snarl and let out a low warning growl
you see a tall muscular man with his big palms out in front of him as he looks at you
"Hey, I, uh... shoo, shoo." he waves his hands
you back away, closer to your den, but continue to growl
"I'm just lookin' fer my friend, Y/N."
Y/N? you tilt your head
He notices this and crouches down to your level, "Yeah, yeah, do ya recognise the name?" He comes closer, "Do ya know 'er? Are ya a spirit, too?"
Your eyes wandered around his face, dyed-grey hair covering cool grey-brown eyes
you've seen these eyes before...
O...Osa...mu?
the name pops up in your head
then your eyes widen and you hop off to your den.
"Hey!" he calls to you and follows you closer, "Oh, did I scare ya?"
He sits in front of the entrance to your den
you pick up your mask between your teeth, dragging it across the ground
You shimmy backwards until you can place it on his lap
"This...This is," He runs his finger over the markings on the mask, "This is Y/N's mask..." He looks at you with glassy eyes
you let out a small high-pitched yip
"What..." he stares at the mask
you stand on your hind legs and place your paws on his shoulders
"No, go away!" He pushes you backwards, "Where'd ya get this?" He growls at you
to which you growl and snap your teeth in a bite, It's mine, you idiot! you pace around in a circle, Ugh, how am I meant to tell you that?
He looks past you to your den and gets up to his feet
you follow behind him, yapping and barking, struggling to keep up with his large strides, What are you doing? Where are you going? I'm right here!
He's on his knees in front of your den and you see your dirtied kimono wrinkled tight in his fists
"Y/N..."
you bark and nuzzle his thigh, I'm here, Osamu.
"Y/N." his voice breaks
you see a few droplets fall onto the fabric of your kimono
as annoyed as you were that he wasn't understanding what happened, it still broke your heart to see a usually strong and stoic Osamu crying
How can I tell you that I'm right here, Osamu?
you look at the kimono and mask in his hand
for a few seconds, you don't know what to do, but then you bite at the mask
"No, stop it!" He tugs the mask closer to him, but then he lets go when you growl at him
"What're ya going to do with that?"
you drag the mask closer to the kimono and then get under the fabric so that it was draped over your body
then you nudge the mask onto your head, but it slips off because of your ears
you try again and you have to crane your neck backwards so that it doesn't fall off
you hope he understands what you mean this time as you sit nicely with the mask and kimono on you
"Y/N...?" His eyes widen, "You, are you Y/N?"
Yes! Thank God Osamu is the more observant twin!
You drop the mask and the kimono slides off of your back as you jump up so that your paws were on his shoulders again
"You're Y/N?" He says once more
You nod your head as best you can and then lick his cheek
"Y/N!" he holds you under your forearms, "Oh my god, what happened to you?"
for the next few hours, you and Osamu are essentially playing charades to communicate with one another
"Oh, Atsumu?" he raises an eyebrow
you nod, dropping the stick from your mouth
"He couldn't make it," he looks to the setting sun, "He's a pro volleyball player, now, ya know?"
you tilt your head
"He doesn't have that much time on his hands." He states and runs a hand through his hair
you whine and nestle your head on his lap
"But I'm sure he'll come back... He promised. You...We'll see him again. I'm sure of it."
He runs a hand down your back, "And when he does...We'll figure out how to break your spell. Something we should've done a long time ago."
I don't really know how I feel about the ending. I was really struggling with it. To be honest, I didn't really have a clear picture of how this was meant to go ¯\_(ツ)_/¯, but here's what came to me at 2AM.
I might look at it again some other time and change it, idk.

25th of October, 9:00 am
"Omi-kun, what are you listening to?" "Fools by Troye Sivan?" "Huh? Fools? What kinda stupid name is that?" Sakusa shook his head. "I didn't expect you to know the song. Considering the fact that you like Justin Bieber, you're incapable of appreciating good music." "Hey! What is that supposed to mean? Omi, don't just walk away like that! Come back!." Atsumu yelled, running after Sakusa's figure.
31st October, 6:30 pm
"What on earth are you wearing, Atsumu?" "Oh this?" Atsumu gestured to himself. "I'm Nicki Minaj." Sakusa's mouth dropped in shock or confusion, he couldn't decide. "You're... Nicki Minaj?" "Yes!" Atsumu stated with his whole chest, evidently very proud of himself. "Bokuto is gonna be Ariana Grande, and we have a performance of Side To Side ready too!"
Standing there, looking at Atsumu with his crazy blond wig and oversized fake boobs and skin-tight dress, Sakusa realised that he was absolutely in love with that idiot.
8th of November, 2:13 pm
13-14. That was the score in the final set of the V-League finals. The MSBY Jackals needed just one more point to beat the Adlers. The ball was on their side, Hinata receiving it and sending it high in the air, perfect for Atsumu. Sakusa took note of Atsumu's stance. That idiot. He wants to do it now? Atsumu grinned at Sakusa. It seems Omi has figured me out already. With the perfect set, Atsumu set the ball to Sakusa, who took the opportunity and hit the ball with an insane cut shot. The whistle blew, and the match was over. "Omi-kun!! We won!!" Atsumu yelled, pulling Sakusa into a hug. He realised his mistake after Sakusa stiffened in his arms. Pulling away, Atsumu began saying, "Sorry Omi. I got too-" Before he could continue, Sakusa was hugging him tight. Atsumu relaxed and hugged him back.
Many interviews later, and the team was waiting in their bus. Sakusa was already in his seat at the back of the bus, his earphones playing Fools. His peace was disturbed by the appearance of a bee. Well, not an actual bee, but the human reincarnation of it. "Oi Omi-Omi. What are you listening to this time?" "...Fools." "Again? Don't you get tired of the song?" "Don't you get tired of being so loud all the time?" "Touché, Omi-kun. You're getting better at this." Atsumu chuckled. The loud voice of Bokuto from the front seat calling for Atsumu had him out of his seat in an instant, leaving Sakusa to go see what was happening in front. That idiot gets distracted so easily, Sakusa thought with a fond smile.
17th of December, 7:00 pm
Team Japan wanted to have a Christmas party. Well, it was really just Atsumu, Bokuto, Hinata and Hoshiumi who wanted to party. The team party was just an excuse to actually have it.
That explained why Sakusa was at Bokuto's house at 7 in the evening, standing by the food table and watching the four idiots go absolutely crazy while dancing. Especially Atsumu. He and Bokuto were giving an encore of their Side To Side performance, and despite all the ridiculous expressions and failed rap attempts, Sakusa could've sworn that Atsumu was the most beautiful person in the room.
"You're very obvious, you know?" Komori said from beside him When did he get here? "Komori's not wrong. You're staring at Atsumu with those lovey-dovey eyes, it's making me sick." Suna's voice came from the other side of him. Without missing a beat, Sakusa replied, "You're no better Suna. You're whipped for the other twin." "You're not wrong about that. But that's not the point. When are you gonna tell him?" "Never. He'll never know." Komori sighed, "You're impossible, you know that right?" "Of course I do." Sakusa replied easily. He locked eyes with Atsumu, who walked to him and grabbed his wrist, pulling him to the dance floor. Atsumu is holding my wrist, was the only thing that was running through his mind. Flo Rida might be playing on the speakers, but Troye Sivan was playing in his heart.

WE DA COOL BOIS 😎🤘
atsubee: so we're having a nye party right?
mr.clean: we had one ten days ago. we don't need one more
hoothootbitch: one can never have too many parties!
caughtin4k📷: my family has a beach house. we could go there. there'll be fireworks too.
Sakusa sighed. Having energetic people in the team wasn't always fun, and this was a clear display of those times. At least I'll get to see Atsumu.
On the other side, a few houses away, Atsumu lay in his bed. NYE is gonna be so fun!! I can't wait to spend time with Omi-kun. Wait. Why did I think of him? Atsumu sat up, and in that moment, confusion, realisation and another strange feeling washed over him. He laid down again, and started thinking, something he normally didn't do outside of matches. He was used to going into things headstrong without considering the consequences. Suddenly, the realisation hit him like a truck. Atsumu picked up his phone and dialled the one person he could think of.
"Tsumu? Why the hell did you call? It's 2 bloody am"
"I'm in love with him."
"Wha- oh. So you finally realised it."
"Huh? What do you mean. finally?"
"Everytime you drop by the store, you're talking about Sakusa. It's always Omi this, and Omi that. And I'm your twin. It's easy for me to figure you out."
"Oh."
"Yeah, oh. Is this all you wanted to say? Because I could've told you this myself."
"Yeah, uh, that's all. Oh, uhm, Samu, I miss you."
The tired chuckle from the other end, followed by a "Goodnight Tsumu, miss you" was enough for Atsumu, and then, at 2:15 am, he opened Spotify and searched for Fools.
31st of December, 11:45 pm
Pop music filled the house. Of course it was Pop. What else would it be with Bokuto controlling the music? Sakusa sighed. He was only there because a certain birdie told him Atsumu wanted to hang out with him. Speaking of Atsumu, Sakusa didn't see him anywhere.
Soon, people would start going to the terrace to watch the fireworks. Sakusa had no interest in that so he went to the first balcony he could find. Thankfully, there was no one there. Putting his earphones in, he pressed play on Fools and waited for the man he loved to come.
Atsumu, on the other hand, was late. Well, kind of. He reached at 11:50. I have ten minutes. Not bad. At least I didn't miss it this time. He went to the terrace, since that's where he thought everyone was. He was still listening to music when Suna came up to him and took one of his earphones. "Since when did you start listening to Troye Sivan?" "Oh this? Omi-kun is always listening to it so I decided to see how it is." "Sakusa, huh?" Suna said, with a knowing grin on his face. "What's that look for?" "Nothing. I just happen to know that a certain black haired man you're in love with is waiting downstairs for someone." Finally, the dots connected. It was almost cute, in Suna's opinion, the way Atsumu realised that Sakusa loved him back. "I've gotta go." "Go get your man, Atsumu." Nodding at Suna, Atsumu ran down the stairs, searching every balcony till he found Sakusa.
"Omi." He breathed out. Sakusa turned and looked at him, "Atsumu. You're here." Taking slow steps till he was next to Sakusa, looking over the beach, Atsumu replied, "I was always gonna come, Omi."
They stood in silence till the countdown started. "Ten! Nine!" Atsumu turned to Sakusa. "Omi..." "Atsumu?" Sakusa faced him. They were now very close to each other. "Eight! Seven!" Atsumu pulled Sakusa in by the collar of his jacket. "Omi, I have so much to say." "When do you not?" Sakusa laughed. As the clock turned 00:00, Atsumu placed his lips on Sakusa's, kissing him like there was no tomorrow. Sakusa's arms wrapped around him, pulling Atsumu as close as their bodies allowed. The need to breathe made them pull apart. Atsumu looked at Sakusa, at the man who he loved, and who he knew loved him back, and said,
"If only fools fall for you, then I'm the biggest fool of them all."
