On days when everything’s too much, when Omi is so overwhelmed he can’t even hold a conversation, he either wants to be held or to be left alone.

On days when everything’s too much, when Omi is so overwhelmed he can’t even hold a conversation, he either wants to be held or to be left alone.

Atsumu will sit beside Omi in the couch, mindful not to touch anything else as he leans in to peer at Omi’s eyes. Then he’ll brush his nose against Omi’s. If Omi presses his nose back, Atsumu will hold out his arms and wrap them around Omi as Omi melts against his body. +
Today, the second scenario makes itself known as Omi bumps his nose back briefly before pulling away. Atsumu wants to hold him now more than ever, but he knows better.
So he stands and makes tea for Omi, still steaming as he sets it down the table. +

He drapes a blanket around Omi’s shoulders, allowing his hands to linger for only a second longer before lifting them. “Go to bed soon, okay?” Omi only nods as Atsumu pads towards their bedroom.
Omi goes to bed an hour later, a good (yet unfortunate) distance away from Atsumu. +

He stays awake as Omi settles down, watching him change positions every other minute until the heaviness fades from Omi’s face with sleep.
Atsumu wants to ask about it. He wants Omi to tell him something, /anything/.
He waits instead, letting Omi come to him when he’s ready. +

When Atsumu wakes up, Omi is closer, eyes still dark but more open, yielding with morning light.
Omi doesn’t say good morning. He only moves closer and cradles Atsumu’s face with a shaky hand. Then he nudges his nose against Atsumu’s. +

It’s his way of saying ‘Thank you for waiting for me’. This is Omi saying ‘I’m ready to say more, if you’re still up for it.’
Atsumu nudges back and holds Omi closer.
“Go on, then,” he whispers.
Because of course Atsumu will wait for him. Always.
