hard to fall for - atsumu m.
atsumu liked to believe he wouldn't ever fall for anyone- that it'd be the other way around.
yet here he was, grumbling about you to osamu, and realizing that he did, in fact, like you.

you weren't drawn to him.
it seemed exactly like the opposite.
you were reserved, quiet but not shy, and overall just in your own world. at first atsumu thought you were shy. he thought, "she'll probably fall for me once I talk to her."
oh, how wrong he was.
he walked up to you, mildly flirting, and all you did was give a polite nod and smile. barely answered. no blushing. no stammering. nothing.
just politeness.
he chalked it off as shy, because surely you were just pretending to be uninterested, right?
except he began to doubt himself when you continued.
you weren't interested, and he was beginning to grow more frustrated with the thought.
especially because he kept coming back, for reasons unknown to him.
whatever those reasons were, it definitely wasn't because he liked you.
..right?

"she gets on my nerves, 'samu! why can't she just be flustered or somethin' when she's talkin' to me?" atsumu grumbled, trudging through the hallways with a bored osamu walking next to him.
osamu shrugged, not even interested in the rant that his twin was going on about. "maybe you just suck," he commented dryly, entirely fed up with his twin brother. atsumu merely grumbled once more.

atsumu would flirt.
you would merely blink.
he would get annoyed later on.
that's how it routinely went.
until the day you offered him medicine when he was sick. you held it out to him, after you had caught up to him, and as soon as he took it you left without a word.
that was the day atsumu realized something.
you did care, you just cared in your own quiet way. and maybe you just weren't interested in him, but you did notice things.
you noticed him.
and that fact alone wouldn't stop bothering him for the rest of the day.
◦◦,°.✽✦✽.◦.✽✦✽.°,◦◦◦◦,°.✽✦✽.◦.✽✦✽.°,◦◦◦◦,°.✽✦✽.◦.✽✦✽.°,◦◦
after that he started noticing things. like how you gave the tiniest smile when he messed up a line while trying to flirt with you, or how you hummed sometimes when there was a song you just couldn't get out of your head.
he noticed the way your laugh sounded, the exact way you smiled, how your voice sounded, and how your hair framed your face.
he thought that maybe it was just him being hyperaware, that it would go away.
it didn't.
◦◦,°.✽✦✽.◦.✽✦✽.°,◦◦◦◦,°.✽✦✽.◦.✽✦✽.°,◦◦◦◦,°.✽✦✽.◦.✽✦✽.°,◦◦
he didn't know what to do with himself, especially since you were starting to talk to him now that he'd toned down his flirting a bit.
every time he managed to make you laugh, his heart would race.
when you smiled his way, he stuttered and lost his train of thought.
as soon as you walked into the room, his ears would turn red.
but it wasn't a crush, right?
no way. it couldn't be.
◦◦,°.✽✦✽.◦.✽✦✽.°,◦◦◦◦,°.✽✦✽.◦.✽✦✽.°,◦◦◦◦,°.✽✦✽.◦.✽✦✽.°,◦◦
except it is. and he realizes after he sees you, in the crowd, watching his game.
and once he realizes, it only gets worse from there.
whatever reactions he's been having before?
immediately intensified.
now even his whole face turns red sometimes.
worst part? you merely smile at him and ask if he's okay, while he can already hear osamu's teasing voice.
but he'll keep chasing every reaction from you if it meant one day you'll stop and wait for him to finally catch up.
I have no idea what I wrote thank you and goodbye
