#ushisakuatsu getting together, polyamory in various forms, atsumu needs a break
Atsumu was fine. He was, but he was having a hard time convincing his boyfriends of that.
"You're exhausted," they'd say. "There has to be a better way to handle this."
'This' being their current situation. Atsumu had a full time job, and two boyfriends who he loved very much, and who thankfully didn't mind each other's presence in his life.
But not only did they live in different cities, they had completely different schedules.
He started dating Wakatoshi about eight months ago. Then two months after that, Kiyoomi joined the Black Jackals.
It was not love at first (third?) sight by any means, but it didn't take them long at all to jump at each other's bones.
It took some communication, as to be expected, but both men seemed to be fine with his polyamorous status, and just 'happy to be there.'
So he was dating them both. Which was wonderful. He was getting the best of all the worlds. And in his mind, losing some sleep here and there
was a small price to pay to keep his regular dates with his lovers.
Kiyoomi and Wakatoshi didn't agree. He'd swear they were talking behind his back with the way they said the /exact/ same things to him.
Like maybe they should see each other a little less, call more instead of having to go back and forth from Osaka to Tokyo during off days.
It was like they didn't know him. Atsumu and all his stubbornness were not even close to willing to give up some quality time with either of
his partners just to 'take care of himself.'
After a practice game between their two teams, a rare occasion in which they were all in the same location, the two finally ganged up on him.
The three of them were the only ones left in the locker room, and Atsumu couldn't shake
this ridiculous feeling of 'oh-oh, I'm in trouble'.
And in trouble he was.
"We're ending this."
Atsumu's mouth dropped.
"What?" Kiyoomi broke his stern facade. "Wakatoshi, no. That's the most terrible way you could've said this."
His other partner crossed his arms.
"How else should I put it? We just agreed it's time we end Atsumu's suffering."
Kiyoomi scoffed. "Yeah, not give him a heart attack. Look at his face."
At his hand gesture, Wakatoshi looked over to Atsumu.
He was met with a heartbreaking expression.
Immediately realizing his mistake, the Adlers player cooed at his boyfriend and embraced him in a hug.
"Oh, Atsumu. Of course I didn't mean end /this/. Neither of us would be that foolish."
It took a second, but Atsumu finally got over his initial shock and sagged in relief.
"Yer- What do ya mean yer ending my suffering then?" He got around Wakatoshi to glare at Kiyoomi as well. "And who says I'm sufferin' in the first place? I already told ya I'm-"
"Fine." His boyfriends said in unison, each with a heavy roll of eyes.
"Except you're not."
Kiyoomi didn't say anything beyond that, and apparently he felt like he didn't need to.
Atsumu looked between the two men he loved so dearly. Who loved him too much for their damn good.
"What are ya proposing then?"
If he sounded skeptic, that's because he was.
He wouldn't budge on this that easily.
He would keep his damn cuddle quotas intact.
The two metamours looked at each other, and Kiyoomi spoke up.
"We want to have some of our dates together. All three of us."
They... What?
"What?"
"You heard him, Atsumu."
"Well yea, but that doesn't mean I got it 'Toshi! Mind explainin' bit more?"
"Of course," Wakatoshi remained unbothered by his lover's dramatics. "Instead of having separate weekly dates, we would all see each other at the same
time. That way, you don't lose the 'quality time' you seek with either of us, but you get some more time for yourself as well. I'll make my way over to Osaka as often as I can."
Kiyoomi was nodding along. Atsumu was still rebooting.
He felt lucky enough the two of them didn't
mind the other. Now they were proposing this?
"What if I-" There had to be things they didn't consider enough. "What if I wanna touch one of ya?"
He could feel the blush rising in his cheeks, and Kiyoomi's gaze following it.
"Then you would."
Wakatoshi nodded. "Just like you would at our private dates."
He kept frowning. "Wouldn't ya be jealous? It's one thing to know about this whole thing, but watchin' it'd be a different story."
"Atsumu," it was Kiyoomi's turn to get close, and run a gentle hand over his arm.
"We wouldn't have suggested it if it wasn't fine with both of us. We don't do impulsive, you know that. We leave that up to you."
The last jab was accompanied by a smirk, and Atsumu felt himself relaxing, just a little.
"I enjoy it when you're happy." Wakatoshi said, starting at dark eyes instead of golden ones. "He makes you happy, and I won't have a problem witnessing it."
Atsumu considered his words.
They were honest, as they always were with these wonderful men.
How did he ever get so lucky?
Taking in a sharp breath, Atsumu composed himself.
"So, who's up for a date night tonight?"
And if they all had way more fun than expected when all together, well. It seemed Atsumu wasn't the only lucky one.
Three is a lucky number after all.
(fin)

"'M happy fer Samu, Ma. I really am," Atsumu plays with the dessert on his plate with his spoon. "But he's insufferable now tha' he's hitched! Can't have a conversation with the loser without feelin' like shit 'bout my own love life."
"Hm," his Ma has her "you don't wanna hear what I have to say about this" face on.
"What?"
And like the godless woman she is, she says "Ya know thas' yer own fault, dear."
"Ma!" Atsumu whines.
Her hands raise up in surrender.
"'M sorry, baby, but 's true. Ya keep waiting fer things ta happen ta ya, but ya never actually do anything about it."
"Yer terrible at the pep talk thing," Atsumu deadpans.
"When have I ever coddled ya?" Mama Miya scoffed. "Ya know 'm right, like tha' time with the bartender-"
Miya Twins, Osamu is a good dad, Atsumu is a good brother
The twins had always been competitive, that's no secret. So it was only natural that when Osamu had little Kane, the two would jab about who the kid loved more.
It was all fun and games, and it mostly just amused the kid
He would giggle at their bickering, and oscillate in who he wanted to hug first when asked.
But today was different.
Kane was upset with Osamu. Really, truly upset.
And in the fashion of any four-year-old who didn't know better, he hurt his dad back.
Kane was going through a bit of a rioting phase, and getting frustrated with the amount of times his dad was telling him "no."
Or worse, telling him what to do.
Kane was a big boy now, so why did his dad insist on telling him when to eat, when to shower, when to everything?
Kiyoomi jerks his head to look at the guy sitting next to him on the train.
The guy is holding out a half-eaten chocolate bar.
He scowls. "If this is your way of saying I look like shit and probably need that more than you, no thank you."
"Wow," the guy pulls the sweet offering back, biting into the chocolate. "Tha' was actually me sayin' yer so hot I'm willing to share my I-had-a-really-bad-fuckin'-day treat with ya. But fuck ya too, I guess."
"Oh," Kiyoomi gives the guy a once over.
He looks like he had just as shit of a day as him.
"Sorry," he mumbles.
The guy is already facing away from Kiyoomi, but shrugs acknowledgingly.
Kiyoomi catches a glimpse of the chocolate wrap. "Are those the ones with rice crisps?"
The twin's 17th birthday was spent in the hospital.
The memory might have become lighter as they grew older, but it was easily the most stressful day of Osamu's life.
Because you see, he had a plan.
Osamu was going to make their dinner, as he did most often than not these days, get them some moshi cake, and make sure Atsumu was in the best of moods.
The next day, he would tell him.
He doesn't even think it will be that hard. Contrary to popular belief, Atsumu isn't stupid.
He noticed how much time Osamu spent in the kitchen.
He noticed him doing less on the court, and called him out on it.
He asked him what was going on. Multiple times.
Osamu told him the truth, that he wasn't ready to talk about it.
