Dearest Enemy {Miya Atsumu}

XXXIII

Waking up today was almost impossible, Atsumu tried too many times to convince me to stay in the bed with him, when he's sleepy he's too cocky and needy.

When I finally convinced him to come back to his house to change his clothes I started to get myself ready and ran to my school.

A lot of rumors spread through the students about me and Atsumu after yesterday... While I walked to my classroom I could hear what they were talking about 'He's too pretty for her', 'She doesn't take care of her look', 'She's too rude', 'She's too short for him', 'She's always in a bad mood, she probably makes him suffer' 'His neck probably hurts when he talks with her for too long' oi I'm so short!

Throughout the whole day, I heard these comments, I even heard 'She's not too Japanese to him' what's that supposed to mean? I'm Japanese!

I never doubted myself about something that's not volleyball, but now... when it comes to sports I'm pretty sure Atsumu can't complain about me but when it comes to other things, I would be a good girlfriend?

I mean I don't know how dating someone works, but I have to make him happy, right? I'm always arguing with him, making jokes about his hair, doing pranks with his brother, He even said I made him cry...

Even if I'm sure about my feelings for him, I should be stingy enough to ignore his happiness? Maybe he would even be happier if he never met me

How cruel it's to want to love so much but the feeling of chaos is too intoxicating to ignore... chaos

Don't even think about feeling in love Karen, you're chaotic. I'm telling you this because as your father I care about you, something inside of you had to die for you to survive these years of training, what remained was bestial. They can love you because they don't know you, daughter.

My father still haunts me... what if he was right?

I walked around feeling sad, my teammates probably noticed but decided to not bother me. What if someday I hurt Atsumu? I can't handle the idea of hurting him.

I remember Sakusa telling me to consider other people's feelings, that means I should ask him?

When our class ended I went to the gym, maybe I could talk with him. But when I entered there I saw Tsumu sitting on the bench

"Hi Sunnie, my class ended soon, so I ran to help you" when he smiled I felt the urge to hug him, so now I'm koala'ing him "Are you feeling sad? You don't usually hug me first" I nodded "then tell me what's wrong when you feel ready" suddenly he stand up and started to do my tasks, he doesn't have to do this... minutes later he was almost done

"D-do you think I could hurt you? L-like with my bad personality?" He laughed, I don't know what I'm asking anymore, now love rules me. It determines what I ask.

"I was afraid that my fangirls could bother anyone but I never thought they could bother you" I didn't answer "Probably, but I'm pretty sure I would forgive you as you did with me. You're worth wherever chaos you bring to the table" I looked into his eyes and he gave me a wobbly smile and put my hair beside my ear "if to clings in me like this you have to be sad, please be sad more often" I slap his back

"Y-your neck hurts when you talk with me?"

"No Sunnie, you aren't that short, I like your height just the way you're, it's even better 'cause when I hug you looks like I'm hugging a teddy bear" he answered all my questions, patiently until our teammates arrived the gym, Kita scolded him to let me go.

We have to serve 500 times before our game started, now I'm feeling bad for invading the stage.

When it was finally time to start our game I got changed, I come back and my team was Atsumu, me, Omimi, Kita, Kosaku, and Ginjima. Against Samu, Rin, Aran, Akagi, and Heisuke.

Before the game started I could feel that Atsumu was tense, without anyone noticing I got closer to him and grabbed his hands

"Hey, don't worry. Use me whatever you want and scream how many times it's necessary, I'm more used to it than you think, I won't be mad" I kissed his hands "it's a promise"

Our game started.

Samu served first, it was strong as always, but Kita catches it and Tsumu lifted the ball to... Kosaku. That's was kind of disappointing being used as bait, it was the first time it happened to me.

I could forgive him the first time, the second, third, but he's not going to set for me the whole game? What's wrong with him?

"Atsumu, if you're going to make Hikari just jump the whole game I can ask her to take a rest instead of doing this" Kita scolded him and he sighed

Tsumu served now, Akagi catches it and Samu lifted the ball to Rin spike it, Ginjima got it and Atsumu set the ball to me, I didn't expected he was going to do this so I almost didn't jump high enough, but I scored

"If you're going to get sad because I'm not setting for you and when I need you to do what I want, you to jump like this it's better to not play" he said

"Hmpft" I turned my face away from him, finally, he got the guts to do it. After that he set more for me, his comments weren't good but I don't care. We played normally and I teased my adversaries. Atsumu is really a good setter.

After a couple of minutes, the coach asked for a break

"Hikari are you okay? Atsumu said harsh things and it's your first time, I'm impressed you two didn't argue" Samu said

"What? Totally! Guys, I know my personality gets worst when I'm playing but only with my adversaries, my old team has a habit to don't speak but when someone gets mad we just ignore them to don't cause any trouble during the game, he can say whatever he wants I don't care" I winked at him

When we come back, Tsumu looks calmer than before. His sets were perfects, I could feel he's trusting in me. He set a ball for me, I jumped right where he wanted me to go and spiked it with all my strength.

"Oi, Hikari, don't try to kill me" Suna said

"That was incredible Sunnie, you're incredible" Atsumu lifted me up

"It's good to hear praise from my pretty setter" he blushed.

When the game ended we won, while they were taking a shower and getting changed I cleaned the gym, so when it was my turn they said they would wait for me. I returned and my teammates looked at me

"What's wrong? Something happened?"

"No, Atsumu was invited again to the All-Japan Youth Intensive Training camp" Samu answered

"That's dope! I'm happy for you TsumTsum, but why you're so serious?"

"It's because you were invited too" my smile disappeared I asked how "well, knowing how much good you're and that is no mystery that you study here, of course, they would invite you" I asked again how they decided to invite me

"Let's say that maybe one of the invited players talked about you... maybe" Atsumu shyly said

"I'm not sure guys... I'm used to you and my old team were used to me, I don't know if my teammates would handle me I don't want to be a burden"

"But you are better, since you started to play with us you don't complain... so much" Aran said

"And I'll be there with you, If I could survive past year you can do it too, Sunnie, please come with me" Tsumu asked

"I guess if you promise to stay with me during your breaks, I'll go" he nodded like a happy dog

"I don't know why you're talking like it's tomorrow, it's only in the next month" Aran said and we laughed, I can't believe I'm going to play volleyball again...
