They don't say anything as they walk towards Atsumu's house. Sakusa had offered to walk him back to his house once the sun had set, and Atsumu had agreed.

But what Atsumu couldn't understand was what happened at the beach.

He and Sakusa watched the sunset in each other's arms; well, Atsumu in Sakusa's arms.

No words were exchanged. They just hugged one another.

What did this mean? That Sakusa had some feelings for Atsumu?

"Omi, do you still like Waka-waka?" Atsumu blurts. "No," Sakusa immediately replies. "Do you like anyone?" Atsumu questions.

Sakusa looks down, smiling a little. "I think so."

Atsumu's heart once again lurches at Sakusa's words. But then again, it might not be him he's talking about.

"How about you, Atsumu? Do you like anyone?" Saksua asks. "I think so too," Atsumu replies.

Silence overtakes the pair again.

Atsumu takes his phone out from his pocket, before fumbling for something in his bag. He takes out his earphones, before plugging it in and handing the right earbud to Sakusa.

Sakusa looks at it in distaste. "Oh," Atsumu realizes. Sakusa takes a tissue packet out of his slacks' pocket along with the hand sanitizer Atsumu had gifted him. He pours a little of the scented liquid onto a piece of tissue. Sakusa wipes the earbud with the wet tissue, scrubbing it furiously.

"You're such a germaphobe," Atsumu teases. "Can you imagine sticking someone's earwax into your ear?" Sakusa asks. "I clean my ears everyday, Omi!" Atsumu exclaims.

"Nonetheless," Sakusa says, binning the dirty tissue into a nearby bin.

They both place their earbud into their ear, and Atsumu scrolls through his playlist.

"Courtesy of Sakusa Kiyoomi, you get to pick the first song! But it has to be K-pop!" Atsumu sing-songs, grinning and giving Sakusa a peace sign.

Sakusa rolls his eyes. "Fine. OSTs then," he says, and Atsumu nods in approval.

"Orbit. By Hwa Sa," Sakusa says. "Yes sir," Atsumu says, looking down at his phone to search for the song. Sakusa sneaks another glance at the personalized hand sanitizer, rereading the message on the sticker.

"'I'll be the Spongebob to your Squidward'," Sakusa reads aloud, causing the blonde to look up. "Yes. I'll be the Spongebob to your Squidward, Omi!" Atsumu chirps, smiling brightly at the taller male.

"You do know that Squidward hates Spongebob right?" Sakusa asks, looking at the blonde. "You sure know how to ruin the moment," Atsumu says, shaking his head. "Then I'll be the sugar to your coffee."

"No."

"Omi!"

Atsumu presses play, and the OST plays.

"I've never heard of this OST before," Atsumu comments. "Well, now you have," Sakusa says, shoving his hands into his pockets.

'I'll stay by your side
Even if the dark night comes
When I reach your dream
The fear that disappears'

"This should be our theme song," Atsumu jokes. "We aren't even dating but okay. But there are better songs," Sakusa says.

"Everytime?" Atsumu asks. "Yeah. Like that. It's the OST that we both like," Sakusa agrees, nodding.

"Have you listened to Midnight by Heize and PUNCH?" Atsumu asks. "What? They collaborated?" Sakusa asks in surprise. "Yes they did!" Atsumu exclaims.

'Loneliness and yearning
They're hard to avoid
I'm here, don't be afraid'

"This should be our theme song whenever you have bad dreams," Atsumu says. "So I'll play this when I have nightmares?" Sakusa asks. "Yeah. And text me. Heck, even call me!" Atsumu replies, making Sakusa chuckle.

"Then Everytime is for whenever we see each other?" Atsumu asks, smiling. "Yeah. It suits the context," Sakusa replies, nodding.

The song ends, and Sakusa nudges Atsumu. "Pick a good one," he jokes. "I have good music taste, for your information," Atsumu cockily says, looking at his phone to look for another song.

"This will be our Wedding song," Atsumu jokes.

The song plays, and Sakusa raises his brows. "This and Everytime," he says, causing Atsumu to nod.

'I'll be right here
I don't want to hide anymore
Love you, love you
I love you
My love that shines like a dream'

Sakusa stares at the happy Atsumu, who is nodding his head along to the song.

His love for Atsumu doesn't shine like a dream.

It shines like the Sun.
