#SakuAtsu Single dad Samu holds a party for his child’s 7th birthday. MSBY is invited and Yuki clings onto Sakusa because everyone knows she has a huge crush on him.

Sakusa is carrying Yuki when the host asks for Yuki’s wish. To everyone’s surprise, Yuki kisses him on the lips.+
Sakusa is frozen. Atsumu’s jaw has dropped. MSBY is close to cracking up. Samu doesn’t know if he should high five his child or hide her forever from Atsumu.

The wide smile in Yuki’s lips begins to quiver. “Did I do something wrong, Sakusa-san?” +
It’s Atsumu who speaks. “Yuki, sweetie, it’s about time we talk about consent—”

Samu swats Atsumu away and takes Yuki from Sakusa as tears start falling down her cheeks. “I’m sorry, Sakusa-san,” she whispers.

Sakusa laughs and wipes Yuki’s tears. “No, don’t be sorry, Yuki.” +
The tears remain, but Yuki mirrors Sakusa’s smile. “So… can I kiss you again?”

Atsumu gasps out loud, scandalized. “No!”

“Tsumu, you’re literally fighting a 7 year old. How low can ya go?”

“Omi’s my /boyfriend/!”

“Yeah, and it’s not her fault ya haven’t kissed him yet.” +
Apparently it’s all their teammates needed to finally break, now cry laughing in their tiny circle. Atsumu is as red as Yuki’s puffy ballgown. Sakusa is struggling to hide his grin.

Atsumu doesn’t answer back, and it becomes the topic of interest for the rest of the night. ++
Atsumu pouts as he and Yuki dance and Yuki is consoling her 27-year-old 6-footer uncle. “Are you angry, ojisan?”

Atsumu sighs and kneels down. “’m not, I was just joking.”

He leans forward to kiss Yuki’s forehead and Yuki smiles. “Just don’t kiss Omi again.” Yuki’s smile drops.
When Sakusa approaches the two, he catches the middle of a very, very heated negotiation.

“Forehead only.”
“Ojisaaan!”
“Omi’s lips are off limits. Those are mine.”
“But Papa said you did not ki—“
“That’s not the point! No lips!”
“Cheeks then!”
“...forehead!” +
“Why are you the one negotiating when I’m the one who’ll receive the kiss? /I/ should be the one consenting.”

Yuki runs and hugs Sakusa’s legs. “Sakusa-san, ojisan is greedy!”

Sakusa just laughs softly. “You can kiss me on the cheeks. We don’t want oji to be angry, right?” +
Yuki nods somberly. Atsumu grins triumphantly (or pathetically for a 27-year-old who won against a 7-year-old). Sakusa crouches down and offers her his cheek. “Go on, then.” Yuki beams and presses a loud kiss on his cheek.

“What, I’m not gettin one?” Yuki rolls her eyes but +
kisses Atsumu’s cheek all the same. Sakusa watches Atsumu hug and tickle his niece and idly wonders how Atsumu is capable of giving and loving as much as he does. Not that he’s complaining as one of its recipients, but Atsumu’s love makes Sakusa want to do something, /anything/.+
Still, they never let it go—not Samu, not Yuki, and certainly not MSBY. It becomes the joke of the month: Atsumu’s niece kissed Omi, his literal boyfriend, first.

It’s all in good fun, though. He groans but he’s never mad, not really. But it /did/ make Sakusa realize something.+
“Why /haven’t/ you kissed me yet?” he asks one day on their drive home.

He only hears a strangled “what?” from Atsumu. Sakusa pries his eyes away from the road for a second and the first thing Sakusa sees are Atsumu’s red ears.

The second are his shaking fingers.
Sakusa turns to an empty street and stops the car. He reaches for Atsumu’s hands the moment the engine dies and looks up at Atsumu’s eyes. “Atsumu?”

Atsumu bites his lower lip, avoiding his gaze. “I just… I didn’t want to be imposing. I know you have your boundaries, and +
I respect them, so I don’t want to overstep or rush ya into doin anything ya don’t want.”

The sight tugs at Sakusa’s chest, propels that need to do something, anything.

He remembers how Atsumu waited months before he even sat close or held his hands.

This is how Atsumu loves.
He holds Atsumu’s cheeks in his hands, cheeks, nose and lips squished between his palms. “Omi?”

This is how Sakusa loves, too.

“Who said I didn’t want this?” Moving. “I want this because it’s you. God, I want everything and anything that has to do with you, Atsumu.” And doing.
And showing.

Sakusa leans in and
A giddy smile curls in Atsumu’s face, then twists down slightly. “Still sucks that Yuki got the first one, though.”

Sakusa huffs a laugh and an idea forms. He leans in again and presses soft consecutive kisses on Atsumu’s lips, pecking so many times he lost count.
Atsumu’s lips curl higher and higher with every peck, tiny, lilted Omi’s whispered in between.

“You get the second kiss, though. And the third. Fourth. Every single kiss after that. Every kiss you want. And the last.”
This time Atsumu leans in. This one lingers on Sakusa’s lips even long after Atsumu’s lips have gone. A kiss with so much love to give.

Sakusa will one-up him one day. He has never turned down a good challenge.

For now, he jokes. “Yuki still beat you to it, though.”

“OMI!”
// end

sorry if I got the honorifics wrong I’m still confused 🙈 anw samu makes fun of atsumu after he texts samu that they finally kissed until atsumu points out that yuki is not nearly as clingy with samu as she is with omi. Rip omi it’s time to run

What if Sakusa’s parents want Osamu for him instead? They’re taking up business in college, and Samu caught their attention by starting a small resto as an undergrad.

So they set up their dates. But Sakusa’s more interested in the twin… An athlete… His parents would freak.
It’s hard not to be attracted to Atsumu. He really tried. Samu is safer, his parents’ glaring choice for him. They don’t like each other, not really and not like that, but there is stability in their formulaic dates.

Then there is Atsumu. God, how does one even describe Atsumu?+
He’s loud. He runs his mouth. He’s brash, impulsive. Of course he is, because how else would anyone choose /volleyball/ as a career path?

Most of all, he reminds Sakusa of something unreachable, something illogical, irrational. He reminds him of passion. Of the abstract. +

#SakuAtsu & #SunaOsa

I forgot to elaborate SO Sakusa sucks at cooking but he has an exquisite palate, developed through years of fine dining & high-end buffets. So whenever his family goes to a fancy restaurant, he takes notes of every fatty tuna meal & sends it to Osamu. +
Sometimes he even interviews the chefs, asking way too many questions.

“So you can cook it for him. Hyogo’s closer to Osaka,” he always reasons out.

“So you’re askin’ me to cook /and/ bring that dumbass food?” Samu will always do it, anyway. It’s for Atsumu, after all. +
After five new fatty tuna recipes in his inbox, Samu has stopped pretending to be annoyed over it. He kinda likes it, too. The over-the-top recipes he wouldn’t have had access to otherwise help widen his cooking skills, anyway.

#SakuAtsu Atsumu always gets to training first, never failing to play Jump Then Fall the moment Sakusa walks in. It’s mostly for laughs (but really it’s because he thinks Sakusa will never like him back).

Then one day he hears Sakusa humming the song.+
open.spotify.com/track/2m3ObD94…
He doesn’t drop the circus act though. He firmly believes Sakusa will never return his feelings, so his confessions are hidden in exaggerated dance moves as Taylor blares over his phone speakers. +
He tugs at Sakusa’s curls in “I like the way your hair falls in your face”. He switches freckles for moles. Clumsily imitates Sakusa’s spiking form everytime the phrase “jump then fall” plays.

The charades continue until one day Sakusa just... jumps on Atsumu. Literally.

#SakuAtsu but it’s literature uni student Omi and his rookie MSBY setter boyfriend Atsumu who researches all of Omi’s book reports and readings.

Except Sakusa doesn’t know. So when he visits Atsumu’s apartment, he freezes when he sees Atsumu’s browser full of literature tabs.+
Tabs upon tabs of searches, all grouped with care. A crash course on Shakespeare, an overview of the 100 poems from the Hyakunin Isshu, Sparknotes of Sakusa’s book reports, how-to sites on haikus and sonnets. There are sticky notes on the screen with notes of his favorite books.+
Sakusa looks back on the past few months. Nights after nights of 1-hour video calls as Omi rambles about his paper. Atsumu comments whenever he can, and Sakusa beams whenever Atsumu asks an engaging and thoughtful question that begins a 40-min Ted talk on his favorite book. +

A stupid idea but high school #SakuAtsu and Atsumu has a huge crush on Sakusa, so the first time he sets a ball served by Sakusa he freaks out because he counts it as them holding hands.

“I held hands with ‘im, Samu!”
“No ya didn’t, ya dumbass.” +
After the game, despite losing by a wide margin, he’s still giddy. He even asks Suna to switch with him so he’s in front of Sakusa. (He also tried switching jerseys. Suna left before he could even stop talking.)

“He won’t shake your hand. I know it.”
“Don’t be a buzzkill!” +
Sakusa does, surprisingly. He skips some of the members but pauses as Atsumu lingers in front of him on the other side of the net, one hand outstretched.

A beat. Then another hand reaching for a quick handshake.

Atsumu’s eyes are sparkling as he stares. “No way.” +

#SakuAtsu After a match a 5-year old fan attempts to adorn Sakusa’s hair with flowers. Except he’s allergic. He sneezes and backs away, looking apologetic for once. He knows the kid meant well by the quiver of her lips and the tears in her cheeks, sorrys spilling from her mouth.+
One week later the kid watches another match. Atsumu watches wide eyed as Sakusa falls on one knee. The little girl takes out a plastic flower crown and gently places it on curly, raven hair.

“Now you can wear it anytime, Sakusa-senshu! It will never die or make you sick!” +
The girl reaches out to stroke Sakusa’s hair. He lets her. “You can clean it, too!” Sakusa smiles brightly at that, his lips curling with the twisting in Atsumu’s stomach.

Atsumu lost track of the conversation, eyes locked on the faux flowers and the definitely-not-fake smile +
